“Another ktown classic which I’m so glad I finally got to try. Sul lung tang is such a comforting dish for me with the warm hearty soup. I got the mixed which came with brisket, flank, intestine, tripe, tongue etc, although you can customize it however you want. I topped mine with a generous helping of spring onion, seasoned with salt and paper, poured in my bowl of rice and proceeded to slurp the bowl till I could lick the bottom. Thinking about it makes me drool. Highly highly recommended!!
We got lucky and there was no wait when we arrived but by the time we were done eating, the line was out the door! Service is quick they only serve cabbage and radish kimchi for banchan.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“A Korean blood sausage soup spot in Cerritos!

This restaurant serves one of Korea’s most classic comfort foods and hangover meals — soondaegook.

The soup is hearty, rich, and has a slightly thicker, saucy texture. It’s best enjoyed with fresh chives, perilla seed powder, and a bit of the classic salted krill sauce mixed in.

I really enjoyed this hearty bowl of soup and would definitely recommend this spot for a quick and satisfying lunch!“

“Ordered the seafood and leek pancake with the assorted mild tofu soup combo and mild wasn't really spicy which is great since I cannot handle too much spice. My friend got the cold noodle jjol myun and it was quite spicy. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious and we asked for refills!“

“Had a yummy dinner with great service in a lovely setting. We love the hot and sour soup here and the lemon yuzu scallops are my absolute favorite! Love the beef rolls and the cauliflower dish too. Truffle xiao long bao are so fragrant and yummy! Everything is always delicious. The sticky rice drinks are so good too! One of my fav toppings anywhere! Always a delicious meal.“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Decided to pass by tomorrow and see how good the pho is because I know som great pho place is Alhambra. They had different item I wanted to try but my focus was on the pho. I order sat down , 5 mins later the food arrived. A good pho must have a good broth , it was ok ,I give it 3/5 the pho noodles was right on the money , but will say to a bit more noodles lol feel like it had a bit less or maybe I ate it fast and I didn't notice it 😂😂😂 the beef was nice and tender but also feel like it was a bit of beef 😂 who knows 😏 didn't taste that much spices on the broth. Or maybe this is how they make there pho broth. Overall 4/5 because I still enjoyed it ,the Thai tea was good also wasn't that sweet like other place they give you Thai tea and it felt like it was Thai tea leaf not that podwer Thai tea. I recommend you guys to come give it try , we all have different taste , you may like it or not , it all depends on you. I know I'm coming back to try their other items that good my attention 👀“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Really good ramen! All of their sides are delicious, but the shishito peppers are a must-try. I also love that they have both vegan and non-vegan options, so there's something for everyone. The staff is super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“Chichen Itza is a local gem; a real, honest cocina Yucateco. I often find that even if yucatecan cuisine is on a menu of a restaurant, it may be half hearted, perhaps assuming the flavors and heat won't sell. Absolutely not the case her

Chichen Itza is a small, but confident showcase. There is consistent high quality to the food, which is artfully prepared and served. The dishes include delicacies such as: Cochinita Pibil, Poc Chuc, Relleno Negro, Agua de Chaya, and others. Humble, basic ingredients from the earth and sea, crafted into dishes possessing impeccable flavor and soul.

For those wary of high scoville numbers, the heat is restrained, but you can lay it on too and enjoy the wonderful flavor that can be harnessed from the Habanero.

As it is within a food court, and there is the intensely popular Holbox next door, the smell of ceviche and other uncooked seafood can be present. Finding seating can be challenging as well. Do not let this keep you from going.

Park on the street, and ignore the line out the door for Holbox. The food, and the people of Chichen Itza are worth every effort to come enjoy.“

“my family took me to celebrate father's day to this place . first let me tell you the food is better then din tai fung and cheaper. if you looking to explore another place to eat you must try coming here. the restaurant is small place to seat down we waited 45 minutes to seat but it worth it ..“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“Food was absolutely amazing. Great quality and freshly hot when you receive it. The only thing that really bothered me was the waiter tapping 20% tip automatically without asking us, or anywhere at the restaurant stating gratuity is automatically 20% … Very weird. Prices are already on the higher end, so him essentially taking a $20 from us is not appropriate.“

“I ordered for the first time from this place tonight via Uber Eats, and I got the chicken yakisoba. It was amazinggg. I was able to customize my order... It was a great portion, the noodles tasted fresh, the veggies were cooked well, and the chicken was seasoned really good. I choose the medium spicy level which was perfect. I will be ordering again🔥“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“I love this pho spot! The ambience is great. The customer service is speedy and you are immediately given a warm welcome as you step in. The food is also really good (although I’ve only ever ordered number 4, the steak and brisket pho 👌🏽). I did try a bit of the shrimp pho when my mom ordered it, and it was good, but I’m more into beef than seafood, so that’s just personal preference. Definitely check it out. This was where I tried pho for the first time and it hits the spot every time.“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“I had dwaeji-gukbap, and I highly recommend it.
There was no unpleasant pork smell, and the thickly sliced meat was very tender.
The pickled perilla leaves served as a side dish were especially delicious—I recommend placing them on the meat and eating them together.“

“JunTong SulLungTang is a cozy Korean restaurant in Los Angeles known for its authentic sullungtang (beef bone soup) and other traditional soups like galbi tang and haejangguk, served with house‑made kimchi and rice that many diners find comforting and flavorful. Customers often praise the rich broth, generous portions, and friendly service in a relaxed, no‑frills setting that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any day of the week. While it’s a simple spot, the hearty soups and classic Korean comfort food make it a go‑to choice for warming up on a chilly day or satisfying cravings for traditional flavors in Koreatown.“

“Tried Vege Valley Restaurant recently and honestly it was a good surprise. I’m not even strictly vegetarian but the food was really flavorful and fresh. Ordered noodles and a veggie dish both were well cooked and not too oily, which I liked.
The place is simple perfect for a relaxed meal. Service was quick and staff were polite. Pricing also feels reasonable for the portion size.
Only small issue was parking, took a bit of time to find a spot. But overall definitely worth visiting if you want healthy and tasty veg food.“

“It was late in the evening (past midnight) and we waited for over 45 minutes for our food, but the order came out wrong. The older lady with short curly hair was very rude and disrespectful. The only reason I am giving it a 5 star 🌟 is because of Jerome. He was very sincere, apologized and made it right.“

“Kobawoo House is an excellent restaurant that offers authentic Korean cuisine in a welcoming and comfortable setting. The food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with great attention to detail, delivering rich and satisfying flavors in every dish. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was evident throughout the meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. I appreciated the warm atmosphere and the consistency in both food and service. Everything felt well organized and professionally managed. Overall, Kobawoo House is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for authentic Korean food and outstanding hospitality. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to returning again.“

“Came here with a group and had a lovely experience! The parking lot is valet only but it's only $4. The hospitality was awesome and all the meat was amazing especially the pork and extremely tender galbi! Loved the pancake and soups as well. Lovely service! She brought us free soju and soup as well! Highly recommend this place for great atmosphere and BBQ!“

“OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖“

“Food is amazing. Good, filling portion sizes. High quality meat and good spice levels. Atmosphere is chill and employees are helpful and caring. Would always recommend and come again. Delicious, appropriately priced, and suitable for any occasion!“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“Have lunch with co-workers every week here. Great food and very friendly service. Best Thai food I've found in the South Bay area!“

“My parents came out of town and wanted to try fresh raw crab and after browsing multiple websites we landed on this restaurant. The crab was perfect and exactly what they were craving. Food was really good and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely go back when they are back in town.“

“I love this place! I used to live nearby and i stumbled in right at opening time my first day. they have a wait if you're going at popular times. Small strip mall parking.

wow, i became a loyal fan of the cheonggukjang, which i never had before. The owner is kind, and it feels like we're being taken care of like I'm at their home.

i am not korean, and especially at that early time 10 years ago I was often the only non-korean... but when they saw me eating cheonggukjang not bbq, i got some nods of approval 🤣 One korean man came up to my table after i ate once and asked me how i know this soup because it's controversial with even koreans.

But i loveeee fermented foods. and honestly, anytime i was sick this soup made me better in a day. I miss living so close to it, i have to make special trips to go now.

I tell all lovers of korean food to go here!“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Me encanto este lugar todo muy rico y muy atentos buen servicio“

“All Korean menus are okay. I feel like I am in Seoul, South Korea..🥰🥰“

“The best Korean restaurant I've ever known in LA. The food is not localized and served just as it is in Korea. Also very reasonable price.
One thing I was not comfortable with was that, the owner lady talked only to my friend (white), and she didn't even looked at me (non-korean asian) when i asked a question.“

“While I miss the old school San (Mountain) restaurant’s samgyetang, Buil remains a top choice for a good reason.

Best Korean ginseng chicken soup for recovery. The fruit based kimchi without msg was my reason for rating this spot an extra star making it to five stars on my review. Quality over cost saving when it comes to health is a major win for this spot 👏🏻“

“Excellent, clean, attentive, friendly service. Definitely would go back.“

“조미료가 전혀 들어가지 않은 깔끔하고 맛있고 풍성한 음식은 한 사람 한 사람의 건강을 우선하는 주인의 따뜻한 마음까지 합하여 최고의 레스토랑으로 추천합니다!!!“

“Everything was excellent from start to finish. The soup is very tasty, and the broth tastes pure, clean, and comforting—you can really tell it’s well-made and not overpowering.

The price is reasonable, and the serving size is just right. Overall, everything is good: great flavor, good portions, and fair pricing.

If you’re looking for a simple but delicious soup with a clean, rich broth, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I would happily come back again.“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“Solid Korean spot near LACMA – great value and no misses

We were heading to LACMA and needed to grab a bite beforehand. Found this place with solid reviews, only about 15 minutes away, so we gave it a shot.

Walked in and it's cozy and welcoming – lots of Korean folks just relaxing with their soups. Always a good sign, right?

The menu is surprisingly affordable – seollongtang starts at just $13.67. We ordered a bunch and nothing disappointed.

- Kimchi and pickled radish – perfectly tangy and refreshing.
- Barley tea – genuinely the best I've ever had.
- Raw marinated shrimp ($8.21)– four pieces for that price? Incredible deal.
- Braised short ribs – highly recommended by other reviewers for a reason. Several big pieces, super flavorful, and even the tofu and radish underneath soaked up all that rich sauce.
- Beef rib soup – big ribs in there, no skimping. The glass noodles and radish were also delicious.
- Assorted seollongtong (#1) – tripe was clean with zero gamey taste, and the glass noodles absorbed the broth beautifully.

Everything hit the spot. If you're museum-hopping or just craving comforting Korean food that won't break the bank, this place is a great stop.“

“I absolutely love the vegetarian pho here! It’s packed with a wonderful variety of fresh vegetables and mushrooms, making it both flavorful and satisfying. The Pad Thai is also delicious and can be incredible when it’s on point, though I’ve noticed some occasional inconsistencies. That said, the flavors are consistently bold, fresh, and far superior to many other places I’ve tried.

The Pad See Ew was another standout. It’s perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. Overall, I’m a huge fan and a frequent customer. The food keeps me coming back, and I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“**Authentic Shanghai flavors are surprisingly hard to find in Southern California, but this is one restaurant I keep coming back to. Since its days at Fullerton Plaza, it has built a loyal following, and even after relocating to Rowland Heights, the quality and flavors remain as good as ever.**

This visit was all about classic Shanghai dishes, and every one of them delivered.

The **pork soup dumplings (xiaolongbao)** are a must-order. Served piping hot, the wrappers are thin yet resilient enough to hold the rich broth inside. Take a small bite, sip the flavorful soup, then enjoy the tender pork filling—absolutely satisfying. The true test of a great xiaolongbao is the soup, and this place has maintained remarkable consistency for over a decade.

First-time visitors should not miss the restaurant’s signature **giant crab roe soup dumpling**. About the size of your palm, it makes quite an impression when it arrives at the table. A straw is provided so you can first savor the abundant crab-infused broth before enjoying the delicate wrapper and filling. Rich, savory, and interactive, it's both delicious and fun.

The **Yulan fried rice cake** is a classic Shanghai snack. Its glutinous rice exterior is fried to a beautiful golden crisp while remaining pleasantly chewy inside. Filled with juicy seasoned pork, it strikes a wonderful balance between sweet and savory flavors. The more you chew, the more its distinctive aroma unfolds—a nostalgic taste of old Shanghai.

The **Wuxi-style spare ribs** were another highlight. Slow-braised until incredibly tender, the meat falls off the bone with ease. The sweet-savory sauce fully penetrates the ribs, creating the signature Jiangnan flavor that keeps you reaching for another piece.

The **stuffed gluten puffs with pork** brought back childhood memories. The gluten absorbs the savory braising sauce, becoming soft and springy, while the hearty pork filling inside adds satisfying texture and flavor. Every bite feels comforting and familiar.

The **shepherd’s purse dumplings** have remained consistently excellent over the years. The shepherd’s purse is fragrant and fresh, paired with just the right amount of pork filling. Flavorful yet never greasy, it’s the kind of comforting homemade dish that never disappoints.

To finish, we ordered a bowl of **sweet rice wine soup with glutinous rice balls**. The fermented rice aroma is delicate and balanced, while the rice balls are soft and chewy without being overly sweet.

Keeping a restaurant open for more than a decade is no easy feat. What’s even more impressive is its commitment to preserving the familiar flavors of Shanghai all these years later. From soup dumplings to traditional Shanghainese specialties, from Yulan cakes to shepherd’s purse dumplings, every dish reflects genuine care and craftsmanship.

For many longtime customers, this restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s a taste of home and a connection to cherished memories. The address may have changed, but the Shanghai flavor that people have loved for over ten years remains exactly the same.“

“They were not joking when they called this comfort food. I was sick, and it was raining, so I wanted something warm and hearty. This place seemed like the obvious choice, and far exceeded my expectations. Food came out fast and blistering hot, but still perfect temperature to eat right away. It was somehow nostalgic, even though it was my first time trying this dish. The tofu was extremely soft, but held its shape well, and very flavorful from absorbing the liquid. It really felt like it cured by illness.

Portion size was also very generous, which is always important. The menu was also pretty varied, I could imagine coming back multiple times and trying something new each time.“
