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.“

“A clearly family run delicious soup restaurant that have been several times. The seollungtang rivals that of hanbat without having to go all the way to korea town and they serve other things which i always wanted from hanbat. Their bossam is great with raw nappa which i love and the haegaengguk which also has saved me post a hard night. Highly underrated korea restaurant“

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

“Wow! I stopped here on a whim on my way to gas station. So glad I did! Portions are huge, so much flavor and chicken is juicy & delicious. The service made me feel so welcomed and appreciated. One of my new favorite spots!!! Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Mama's serving up healthy, fresh and delicious home meals as if your tiny korean grandma was making you lunch.
Come hungry and leave full. This is a cozy shop thats feeding the community one plate a time.
One of my go to spots for lunch or dinner.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Late night Korean vibes. This place is legit!
Open room with ambiance lights but not dark with awesome authentic Korean vibes and plenty of space for large group to sit together.
The service is super friendly and inviting, we ordered so much food it barely fit in our table and when we ordered soju, they gave us the soju for free to enjoy it with our meal.
Shout out to our server for making our meal experience a great one, we’re absolutely coming again soon!
Each dish was delicious and their prices are very fair, I dare to say not expensive at all!
If your near Gardena and it’s late your options for good food are limited, this place is your salvation from boring food late at night.
Definitely a must try with your family and friends!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“the sweet older woman who works here and who i presume is the owner is SO SWEET. her food is delicious, homestyle, and HUGE portions!! definitely worth the price. her energy is so warm, kind, and fun!! she asked if i spoke spanish and then proceeded to do her best to say thank you to us when picked up our food 🥰 i did my best to say thank you in korean to her and i will be coming back for sure to get food to go!! if u still eat out at restaurants then make sure to pay her a visit inside for a personal and sweet experience!!“

“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.“

“Sooo yummy!! I always love coming here for Korean fried chicken. It just takes a while, but at least we know it’s fresh! Love the soy garlic flavor! It’s sweet, savory, garlicky, crunchy, juicy and overall just the #1 pick. Come give it a try!!“

“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.“

“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 🥪🥪.....“

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

“Let me just start off by saying the service here it’s outstanding!! It was my first time trying ramen and the cashier was very friendly and helped me with choosing my first meal. The food was very tasty and fresh! I will definitely come back again!“

“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.“

“Food is very delicious. Very good portions as well. I would say it tastes better and more portions than waba grill. I ordered extra rice instead of salad and fruit. you can turn a plate into two meals for the same price of a plate at waba grill. I'll be back again for sure.“

“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.“

“Great Korean Food! The best so far!“

“I’m truly so happy with my experience here! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The place is very clean, organized, and has such a positive vibe. What really made my visit special was the amazing customer service—Paulina went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, patient, and genuine, and you can tell she really cares about the customers.

It’s rare to find a place where you feel this appreciated, and it honestly meant a lot to me. Because of this experience, I’m already looking forward to coming back. I can’t wait to bring my family, my kids, and my friends to try this place in Cerritos. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I’m truly so happy with my experience here!

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

“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 ♡“

“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“

“Moon Bowls in Long Beach is a total gem! I ordered a custom veggie bowl during my all-fruits-and-veggies cleanse, and it was exactly what I needed—fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. I love that they offer customizable options so you can stick to your goals without compromising taste. As Ms. Long Beach, I’m always on the lookout for healthy and delicious local spots, and Moon Bowls is now at the top of my list. Highly recommend for anyone looking for clean, plant-based eats in Long Beach!

“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“

“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.“

“Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
Casual. Service was on the slower side—food took a while to come out.

Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Codfish Soup ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very flavorful and satisfying.
• Banchan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The side dishes were excellent—fresh, well-seasoned, and a great complement to the meal.

Overall Thoughts
A very authentic Korean spot with strong flavors.

Will I come back?
Yes.“

“Probably give this a 3.5. Would come again in the future.The “waffle” fries are in fact crinkle-cut fries—a little disappointing, but they put a large quantity in the box. To the point that the 6 wings you get look comparatively small, lol.A little under $20 for serviceable fried chicken; probably would not get the sweet chili flavor though (it was just not anything special).“

“We reserved the restaurant for a private party to celebrate a birthday. The food was so good! We had the award winning chili, pineapple chicken, steak Teri, chicken salad, Mac salad, miso green beans, Kim chee, and more
Cherrystones is the perfect place for all occasions. The staff was wonderful and the atmosphere festive.“

“The brand-new CHAR WINGS are great! Less guilty than eating traditional bone-in wings, it pairs well with the magic sauce. The chicken plate is also great, which includes rice, veggies, and side salad. There is plenty of parking, so no worries on that front.“
