“Highly recommend this Catering Place!
The taste is way beyond great! I also want to THANK "JOY" Catering for delivering all the way out to City of Industry and our staff are looking forward to LUNCH everyday! We are very fortunate to find "JOY" Catering!!!“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“This has been a regular spot of mine even after I moved out of the immediate area. The chicken box is a great little meal & my favorite but the grilled bowl is also delicious. Actually everything I've had here is delicious and the evening vibes are fantastic. Low lights & music that doesn't distract from conversation. Did I mention the disco ball?“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“The food here is Top Notch! My favorite is the #13 Gamjatang and #16 Wooguji Galbitang. Soups are flavorful and loaded with lots of meat! They don't skimp on the ingredients here! Love their kimchi!

Restaurant is clean and spacious with bright lighting.“

“Hidden gem, great for lunch and they do catering. I ordered multiple items for catering for a party, and my guest kept telling me how amazing the food was. Three of my guests went to eat at the restaurant the next week and again told me how amazing it was.“

“Excellent and authentic food. Very friendly and informative service. Casual atmosphere. The restaurant was empty at lunchtime on a Saturday, but service was quick and attentive. Meat came out sizzling on cast iron platters. Banchan were very tasty. Refreshing cold chewy buckwheat noodles.“

“This place was great. It was empty when we walked in hopefully they usually get more business because they definitely deserve to stay open. For me, the service was perfect, the guy welcomed us in and left us alone after that which is perfect since i’m shy. We got the pork cutlet kimbap and the rose tteokbokki. The tteok was perfectly chewy and so soft and great for me because i can’t handle a lot of spice. The pork cutlet in the kimbap was so so yummy. We’ll definitely come back.“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“Place is amazing with great food and wonderful food! The bowls they have here are outstanding and give you so much food for the price you pay per entree. Highly recommend this to anyone in the area and/or visiting the plaza and want to get a glorious meal.“

“So glad I found this hidden gem. The food is so good we wiped our plates clean! It’s just a single lady working here so the service might be slower if there’s people already here cus she’s taking orders and cooking all by herself but after she takes your order, she’s pretty fast at cooking the food and bringing it out. It’s honestly so so good for when you’re craving some authentic Korean food.“

“Just visited for the 1st time, seen the items they had posted on the window, it looked so good I decided to try it out and man I dont regret it. I ordered a bowl with spicy chicken and kimchi and man that dish was so good better then I had in mind that I am forsure going to come back. Just got to find parking tbh because its next to the court house but the food is delicious“

“All the side dishes and main menus here are hands-down the best among all Korean restaurants in Orange County.
The neat and heartfelt side dishes,
and the main dishes made without skimping on any ingredients, are all truly delicious.
Our family is sincerely a loyal regular at Hanmi Restaurant.“

“Finally we came to this Korean restaurant tonight and knew that we had made the right decision. We tried their Bossum and Seafood pancake and it turned out they were really delicious. Our server was very friendly and professional. Their pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Me and the family came here during the week to try something new. Saw the food and menu and thought let’s do it.

Came in and got seated right away. Inside looks great with a lot of room and the staff was very friendly.

After looking over the menu, we picked more items than we thought we could handle. But all of it was amazing.

We ordered TTEOK BOKKI with ramen and cheese. Tasted great. Great texture and taste

Come with the Korean Style Spicy chicken. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and a hint of spice that gives it a great flavor.

Lastly we ordered the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. Just as the chicken, amazing. Spicer than the chicken by a tad but amazing taste

We ordered rice with it which probably why we didn’t finish half of the portions of each dish. The employees felt we didn’t like it but we took it home to eat again the following day!

Must try in the Gardena area. :) thank you!“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Highly recommended. The galbi short rib, kimchi pancake, soon tofu (especially the mushroom broth), and the banchan were all delicious. There was even a bonus ice cream, how delightful! The ambiance feels elegant and distinctly European with a chill vibe. Service was great. Will be returning!“

“This is a small family own restaurant that provides very authentic Korean food. The location is a bit weird especially when you visit during the night.
At the parking lot, we hesitated and thought we might go to the wrong place. However, we love the food there. We ordered bul-nak jun-gol. The casserole is heartwarming especially eating in a winter night. The side dishes are also great. The variety combined with the octopus and bulgogi definitely gave us a nutritious and delicious meal. We will visit again when going to that area.“

“I've been going to Maria'a since I was a kid. My parents, when they arrived to the US from Mexico would go there and so did my aunts and uncles and cousins. Now I take my kids to eat there. The restaurant has always been the same with great quality food and great service. Maria's restaurant is a gem in the community and will hopefully be there for many more generations. Don't sleep on this place, give it a try.“

“Passed by Los Alamitos, and saw this korean resto.
We ordered jap chae and curry pork katsu.

Here's the deal, if you're hungry and want a Humongous serving, eat here.
Their serving is so huge that it can feed 2 people.
Taste-wise is delicious especially the jap chae, you can ask for refill of their sides.
Will definitely come back with friends and family.“

“I was going back to the yard to part my semi and I thought I’d get something quick to snack on at the corner store but it wasn’t open. The next thing open beside it was LUCKILY Tokyo Grill! I was hungry and I was going to wait til I got home but I decided to get the chicken bowl because I saw it was 9 bucks. I didn’t expect much as I took it to my truck and man was I blown away. The flavor of the chicken was so delicious and the amount of ingredients they put into the bowl is unbelievable. It had green beans pineapple carrot slices cabbage and some other vegetables. I was amazed for how much food they gave me for the plate only being 9 bucks and they put a lot of chicken in there which was a big plus. I didn’t have to dig around for any chicken.That’s why I’m writing this review, hopefully it helps anyone thinking coming to eat here. Oh and I also had really dirty hands and the lady at the cash register which I believe was part owner, gave me some wipes and was really nice. I’m pretty sure their other dishes are great too. I didn’t take a picture of my food because I was really hungry but it’s worth each penny I wasted.“

“Nice spot in Cerritos. Great selection on the menu. The food taste original and comes with larger than regular sized bowl or plate. We tried jajang myeon, donkatsu, spicy squid over rice, fried dumplings and teriyaki bowl. This place is worth coming back.“

“If you want the kind of Korean comfort food that wraps you in a big cozy blanket and whispers, “You’re home now,” Jang Mo Jip is the place.

Nothing flashy, no Instagram gimmicks — just steaming bowls of hearty soup, beautifully chewy dumplings (I LOVE their dumplings, they’re my ride-or-die here), piles of fresh kimchi, and honest, satisfying flavors.

The atmosphere is no-frills but exactly what you want when you’re craving soul-warming sul lung tang or a healing haejang guk.

The banchan? Solid, classic, and plentiful. You leave full, happy, and with the kind of quiet joy only a truly good meal can give.

Not trying to impress, just trying to feed you well — and that’s what keeps me coming back.

Comfort food at its finest.“

“Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere…all in all definitely a great place to eat at. I’ve been there twice and have left both times fully satisfied by the food and planning to return.“

“I can honestly say this barbecue chicken was perfection from the first bite to the last. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked all the way through without losing any of its natural flavor. The smoky aroma hit me before I even took a bite, and the sweet-tangy BBQ sauce clung to every piece like a delicious glaze. It had just the right balance of char on the outside for that satisfying grill taste, without being overdone.

Every bite was a mix of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet, making it clear that whoever prepared it knows their way around a grill. Paired with a side of fresh cornbread and coleslaw, it was the kind of meal that makes you want to come back for seconds… and thirds.

If you’re looking for barbecue chicken that’s flavorful, tender, and cooked to absolute perfection, this is it.“

“I travel far ... just to have my pre birthday lunch.. thank you so much for such courteous attention and most delicious food 😋“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“Taste goodThis is one of the delicious Korean food restaurants. My favorite dish in this restaurant is the young radish kimchi. The young radish kimchi and soybean paste stew that are served as side dishes and complimentary throughout the year bring me here.Personally, I find various items on their menu tasty, including kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), grilled hairtail fish, and braised hairtail fish. Today, I enjoyed the pork bossam, and I would rate it three stars. It was rich and satisfying.One thing that disappointed me was that the jjanchi guksu (banquet noodles) I ordered for takeout two weeks ago, which I thought was on the menu, turned out to be a different dish. It was more like somyeon (thin wheat noodles) in kalguksu broth, not what I expected. It started with my misunderstanding, and I appreciate them trying to accommodate my request, but I was completely disappointed as it was a different dish. In my opinion, it would be better if they informed customers that what they requested isn't on the menu.This has been my favorite kalguksu place for a long time. Despite the name changing several times over 23 years, a five-star rating is more than enough.

Parking: The packing lot is always available.If, full paking lot. Use the back side parking lot.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Best place to get authentic cheonggukjang in Orange County. I've been coming for what feels like over a decade and the taste never changed. The restaurant does have a strong fermented bean paste smell but if you want authentic cheonggukjang, it has to smell like this. If a place that sells cheonggukjang does not have a smell, it you will get tasteless 'watered down' version of the soup.

Plus is the smell is not as over powering as it used to be way back when but the taste is still the same.“

“Even through storms does NT Noodles provide their delicious variety of dishes and noodles to us, where their passion can be tasted in their food, and their care in each dish set down by the cooks themselves. Their easygoing attitudes, clean and green atmosphere, and location provides a good stop for food during shopping!“

“Had the veggie bibimpab in hot stone pot combo with tofu soup with non meat broth. It also comes with generous sides of delicacies like kimchi, cucumbers, seaweed and more. Quite a feast! The service stands out as being very attentive and thorough. Would definitely come back. I hear that there are often lines out the door and I get why.“

“Order:
🍚 Hot Stone Bibimbap
🍲 Beef Short Rib Soondubu
🐙 Seafood Pancake
🥟 Fried Dumpling
🐷 Pork Cutlet

Ever since I discovered Cho Dang last year, it’s become a staple in my local restaurant rotation. Chodang in Cerritos hits the spot when you’re craving comforting, cozy Korean eats. Their popular soondubu is rich, flavorful, and served boiling hot, just the way it should be. The sizzling stone pot bibimbap has the most perfect crispy rice layer on the bottom. Other dishes we tried included the donkatsu/pork cutlet and the seafood pancake.

Each and every item was delicious! There was nothing I would change about any of the food I had. It was and is always the perfect cozy meal. Service is great as well, and the portions are extremely generous. Hope you can try Cho Dang soon if you haven’t already!“

“The kimbap 10/10
Teokbokki was really watery so if you like urs thicker prolly not from here. But the rice cakes were really nice and soft.
Chicken very good and crispy
We got fries w our idk if it was on purpose but very gratefull“

“I love the family-feel atmosphere. The ladies waiting tables are very efficient. Love the affordable prices and the food!“

“Inside Hmart is everything !Order the bibimbab & the price was everything ! ? 6 bucks special! Really delicious!My brother ordered the beef ramen and that was also really good!10 bucks for the ramen ! Coming back for sure if I have to run to hmart ♡“

“Food was great. Ordered some eel and it was the best damn eel I’ve ever had. Not that only that, but it was cooked so fresh that it was actively sizzling on the plate it was served to me on. Unfortunately for me, I was only in town from out of state to visit family so I know I’ll be thinking about that eel for years to come until I come back.“

“I just want to say that not only the food is good here, but also their customer service. There was only one gentleman working today. He was the cashier and the cook. He had so many customers, yet as busy as he was, he was efficient, friendly, and acknowledged each person as they walked in. This guy needs a raise for all his hard work. Thank you“

“Gangnam Kimbob has 20 different kinds of kimbob to choose from! They have tuna, pork cutlet, shrimp tempura kimbob and more

?? We ordered
- bimbim kimbob ( spicy mix with bulgogi & veggies )
- pork belly with veggies kimbob
- cheese rice cake

It’s a fast - grab & go spot for some delicious kimbob take out :) price range is reasonable - around $10 for a pack of kimbob

Parking: It’s free parking lot but busy weekend- can street park“

“Some of the best chicken I’ve ever had, some of the best chicken the people at my dinner have ever had. You know when you’re hanging out with people conversation is incredibly important. Food is as important. B.bq made my party outstanding. Some of the people that were here had never tried this restaurant. Now that has changed, many more plans to re-order. I am a repeat customer when I see people with subpar chicken, it breaks my heart. I have never felt that way with this restaurant. I have friends and family coming over in a week I’ve already Menu over to each and every one of them. I can’t wait for our feast.“

“Parking was a bit of hassle but definitely doable, ordered a basic sullungtang the soup was milky in texture and soothed my soul the server kindly reminded not to add too much salt which I obliged adding tiny amt and leave room for kimchi gakdugi juice I like that I didn't have to drive further for some sullungtang and galbitang“

“Good food. Get your veggies 😋 great place to get your delicious daily quoata on veggies. I love the tofu with chicken, ask for the tofu well done mixed with the chicken and extra veggies, it's definitely delicious. Happy eating friends. Kindness counts and turns a frown upside down. 🙏🤗“

“I feel ashamed for not trying this spot out earlier! Finally got bored of our local lunch staples, and ecstatic that I can bring this one to the group! The sweet & spicy wings were amazing, and the kimbap was delicious! Ingredients tasted fresh and service was quick, especially for lunch! No complaints here, will definitely be returning!“

“(Translated by Google) It is the best place for a group of guests. The food is especially delicious. There are large rooms and small rooms, so they are perfect for groups. Parking is also not inconvenient. Of course, there is a large hall, so it is good not only for singles but also for couples.(Original)단체손님인 경우에는 최적의 장소이다. 특히 음식이 맛있다. 큰룸과 작은룸이 있어서 그룹으로 가기에 안성맞춤이다. 파킹 또한 불편함이 없다. 물론 넓은 홀이 있어서 혼자서 뿐만 아니라 커플이 가기에도 좋다.“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“First, I notice it's not flame brolier.
The portions are bigger. However, you can get your own sauce. They gave 2 small tiny teriyaki for a works bowl. Then, I was charged for extra sauce. The 2 she gives is not enough. You usually can put the sauce on yourself. Not here they give 2 per bowl.“
