Bab N Banchan / 밥N반찬 (구 흥남면옥)

Old inside, funky smell. Extremely dry beef. Mediocre sides at best
They included a hot dog in our $139 combo meal. Sorry, but this place is outclassed and outperformed by every other kbbq in the area.
Service was minimal. One owner presumably, walking around doing nothing except sneezing, playing with his nose and pretending to look at tables. Not again for us.

The steamed cypress tree was so neat and delicious that it had the best light taste that was more Korean than Korea.

Vegetarian options: You can steam the abundant vegetables in a cypress wood steamer and dip them in the sauce. The brisket is especially thin and soft, so this is the best restaurant that anyone of any age can enjoy. Highly recommended!

Parking: Ample parking is available right in front of the yard.

Kid-friendliness: It's clean and the table itself has a private partition.

Ordered the box bbq set with army stew, beef is all high quality, grilled table side by the server. Army stew is decent, but I don't consider the stew traditional Korean food.
Spicy Marinated crab is excellent, very fresh crabs, the marinade sauce is so good, I had to mix it with rice with a light drizzle of sesame oil. Trust, Must try.
Grilled fish and seafood pancake is great no fishy smell at all.
Spicy cold noodles just like how mom makes it.
A variety of 10 Unlimited Banchan was all good.

Excellent service.
This is that place in the south bay for authentic traditional Korean food.

It’s worth including side dishes in the business name. The liver is not too spicy or bland and is really delicious! There has never been a place that offers so many side dish refills. You even make the cold noodles yourself. I thought the cypress tree steamed was just steamed and served in a cypress tree barrel, but I was surprised to see that the whole thing was put on the fire and steamed on the spot. It's a bit pricey, but it's really delicious.
Hidden gem in Torrance!!

Absolutely amazing. I’ve had plenty of korean food, but this restaurant is the only place where I literally could not stop saying “oh my god” after each bite.

My boyfriend and I ordered the soy marinated crab, spicy marinated crab, small size soybean stew, and it came with two rice! The spicy marinated crab was spicy but the kind of spicy where you can’t help but keep eating even when your mouth is on fire.

The soy marinated crab was amazing, I’ve tried the one in Crab House at ktown and I wasn’t too crazy about it, but I couldn’t stop eating the one here. I even ordered extra rice (the nutritious rice is a brown sticky rice) just to eat the leftover marinade with the rice. I’ve never eaten more than one cup of rice, so I swear it’s really that good.

The small size soybean paste stew was just something I was craving because I love soybean paste stew, but stop right there. It’s not just any soybean paste stew, it was super rich, filled with veggies, unlike any soybean paste stew i’ve ever eaten. In fact, there was GINSENG in it. I found a small piece in my stew! For a $6 stew thats the quality of a $15 stew, I just love it so much.

Not only is the food amazing, the staff are all wonderful. They all kept checking up on me and asking me questions, also with some small talk about the food. I loved it! The restaurant also had nice music and a relaxing modern and clean atmosphere. Definitely 10/10 would come again!!!! If you love Crab House in KTown, wait to try this place!!!!

Tip: When charging, you have to charge % from before Tex, but you don't have to charge after Tex. I hope that corner of that house goes bankrupt, even if it's just a penny.
Just a trick to get more tips. I will never go to a place like this again.
Live with your conscience. The food is not very tasty. Don’t go to this place. Guest bag.

Great service 11/10 서비스 너무 좋아요. They also have カンジャンケジャン (Raw marinated soy sauce crab). You squeeze out the organs/flesh and mix it with the rice with some sesame oil and salt. It makes a delicous dish.

Take your money elsewhere. We ordered the galbi and cold noodle combo along with the beef rib soup, and the total came to $80, including tip. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and overpriced. We chose this restaurant after seeing influencers post about their steamed duck, but $90 for just two servings in a casual restaurant, no way!

Let's just say it was great lunch, marinated crab, abalone, meats combo plate, steamed duck, and pork jowl! The meats quality is really good and the staff was very attentive. Banchan selection was good and fresh also. My favorite was still the crab, well worth the price of enty
