“Absolutely amazing. This is a hidden gem. The kimchi pancake was fantastic. The tofu soup so flavorful. The grilled mackerel was cooked to perfection. The crowd favorite was the stir fry spicy ramen noodle. It was a flavor explosion in my mouth. I live in downtown San Diego and drove in traffic to meet family and I will drive in traffic over and over again to eat here.”

“I've been to this place 10+ times. It's a small mom & pop spot, serving the type of Korean fare that you might expect. It's widely considered to be one of the best Korean joints in SD and I don't dispute that. But the star of the show is the Kimchi jiggae. I usually don't order Kimchi jiggae in restaurants, but the kimchi jiggae here is my absolute favorite, and I always get it. Their banchan is also simple yet excellent. If you want Korean food staples in SD, this is the place. Parking can be difficult, but it's Convoy, so you should know the drill.”

“I’m not a huge fan of Korean food but this place was amazing. Really nice if you come with friends to try a lot of dishes. We had bossam and oxtail soup and Korean pancake along with bulgogi in stone pot. The side dishes were good and it was nice they had the World Cup on. Would come again, just parking can vary in that lot but that’s most of the area”

“Visiting family from the East Coast and my daughter took me here today. I was stationed in Daegu South Korea for 2 years while in the Army. we used to get bb.q chicken almost every weekend. The kids loved it and so did I. This was my first time having it in 8 years and it immediately brought me back to being in Daegu. The food was amazing and brought us right back to being there. I highly recommend you check them out, you won't regret it!”

“Got the large hangover soup and easily shared it with 3 people and still had leftovers to eat for 2 more meals. It was a PACKED pot, and never ending. Their bonchon was also a good accompaniment. Steamed egg was also so fluffy and a big portion. Cheesy corn was delicious. And I absolutely loved the tteokbokki!!!”

“Hole in the wall feel but amazing food and service… the beef intestine offals pot was one of the best I’ve had anywhere… no off smell or taste which goes to the preparation skill of the kitchen to make that dish to tasty full of beef flavors and textures with these off cuts.”

“I’ve tried quite a few Korean spots in San Diego, and Song Hak is definitely one I’d come back to. Their Korean food is really good overall, but the stone pot bibimbap was probably my favorite. It came out super hot, and I loved how the rice at the bottom got crispy from the stone bowl. Mix everything together with the sauce and it’s just so comforting and satisfying. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful, and it honestly felt like one of those meals where you keep eating even when you’re already full 😂 Definitely a solid spot when you’re craving Korean food!”

“this was the very first time i ate something so delicious that i felt like writing a review on how good it is, our server was extremely kind we felt very welcomed there. the drinks and appetizers got to the table in 3-5 minutes and the entrees got to the table around 10 minutes after ordering them(we did not feel rushed btw i really appreciated the fast service) and when my ramen got to the table it was amazing, the broth was rich and creamy and just the right amount of salty, the noodles were delicious and not too mushy but were still nice and soft, the pork was so rich and flavorful and it just melts in your mouth and the way that the flavors all came together was truly enlightening.”

“Just keep in mind I came here on a Monday at 6 PM so we didn't have to wait for a table or battle for parking. This parking lot was not turned into a paid lot try. It's where Chorus and Hive are. It's still fairly new so the menu is slightly limited. We saw photos of dishes on the wall but were told they were not available until next year. The jjajangmyeon was slightly watery. I got the "meat" one so there were strips of grilled pork. My husband got the "spicy" one which was green chili on top. It was not crazy spicy according to him but it was not that painful spicy. We got the chili shrimp and I really liked that. It was crispy, fried jumbo shrimp over with sweet chili sauce on a bed of cabbage. It had enough heat making your lips feel some heat. I liked it even though it's not a fancy dish. If I don't have to come on a busy weekend night I'm down to come back. Oh just be ready to order on really slow tablets but your order gets through as long you're patient with the tablets. The tables are far enough where you feel like you're not on top of each other like at other restaurants in Convoy.”

“Good variety of proteins, lots of amazing sauces, veggies, and overall good vibes. My most favorite part that I love about this place is that you get the opportunity to be creative and become your own chef. Another great thing is you yourself get to serve and pick what you want since it’s buffet. Have fun, enjoy, and have a good time whether it’s for a date night or with a group of family or friends. Definitely a place I will go back.”

“The food and service were amazing! This was my first time trying this place and the girl in the front recommended the garlic chicken and potato trio. They were delicious and some of the best I’ve ever had! I didn't get her name but she had braids and it seemed like she was doing everything such as taking orders, making the food, and serving it. All things considered, this place is definitely worth waiting for and I will be returning!”

“Great place for a Teriyaki bowl or plate. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly and hard working. You can tell they had their regulars. It was busy and over half of the patrons were known to the employees and knew their regular orders. Decor typical for mom and pops place with decent amount of seating. Will definitely go back if in the area again.”

“The food at Min Sok Chon is really good, and the overall atmosphere is lively and fun. Since it’s more of a Korean drinking spot, it can get pretty loud, but that’s also part of the vibe. One thing I really like is that every table has a button to call the staff or request the check, which makes the service very quick and smooth. You don’t have to spend time trying to get someone’s attention. The only downside is the parking. The lot is a little small and tight, so finding a spot can be difficult when it’s busy. If you’re looking for a place to hang out, catch up with friends, have some good food and a few drinks, this is a great choice. They’re also open late, which makes it a perfect spot for late-night gatherings.”

“I had such a wonderful experience at this Flame Broiler location! This was my first time visiting this specific location, and I was truly impressed. The restaurant was spotless, and I really appreciated the outdoor seating option. that it made the visit even more enjoyable. I want to give a special and heartfelt thank you to Elma. Elma's customer service was genuinely above and beyond. Elma is an incredibly kind and compassionate person, and Elma made my experience feel safer, more comfortable, and absolutely amazing. It’s rare to come across someone who brings that level of warmth to their work, and I’m so grateful. I ordered the chicken with white rice, carrots, and green onions, one of the few options I can eat with my allergies. As always, Flame Broiler delivered the consistent flavors and textures I love. Thank you, Elma, for being so awesome! I’ll definitely be returning to this location.”

“Went at lunchtime, parking wasn't the greatest. Guy behind the counter was nice and friendly. First time visiting and he helped me with selecting a good combo to try. Bought the honey topping on the chicken pieces. Not sure what they called them. Sides of cole slaw and fried rice. The first time ever I had white fried rice and it was delicious. All the food was hot and fresh, very good. Not sure where the tomato comes in, I surely didn't get any in my meal. Sat inside. Kinda quiet. They have 3 TV's, but none were on. Music was playing instead. Enjoyed the visit.”

Parking can be limited but we went on New Year's day so other businesses were closed and there was plenty of parking that day, I can see it be an issue other business days. Service was nice and ordering on the tablet was easy.”
