🇺🇸 Authentic Hidden Gem Korean Restaurant in LA | Gung Jung

Located in Walnut, very close to Rowland Heights (RH)! Saw so many recommendations online and finally went to try it out. 🧐👀 We ordered the Pig’s Trotters, Korean Seafood Pancake, Spicy Beef Intestines Hot Pot, Spicy Mix Buckwheat Noodles, and Buckwheat Ice Noodles. Here are my personal recommendations: 1️⃣ Pig’s Trotters 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 No. 14 – The plate was huge, I was totally shocked! 😲 The pig’s trotters are sliced thin. The marinade is light, letting the original flavor of the meat stand out. Served with spicy radish—perfect for cutting the richness! 🐷✨ 2️⃣ Korean Seafood Pancake 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 No. 17 – This seafood pancake is another must-try! It arrived as one big, sizzling, oil-fragrant pancake, and the staff auntie cut it into six pieces right at the table. The combo of seafood, onion, and crispy batter is super flavorful! 🦐🧅🌮 3️⃣ Spicy Beef Intestines Hot Pot 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 No. 27 – They have so many hot pot options, available in single or group servings. The beef intestines are cleaned very well. The base includes veggies, tofu, and mushrooms, topped with lots of perilla leaves. Paired with the spicy, savory broth—it’s a perfect match! 🍲🔥 4️⃣ Spicy Mix Buckwheat Noodles & Buckwheat Ice Noodles 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 No. 31 & 32 – How could we miss the cold noodles the owner highly recommended? We tried both the spicy and non-spicy versions. Chewy buckwheat noodles served over crushed ice, topped with thin beef slices, cucumber strips, and half a boiled egg. So refreshing, with or without the Korean spicy sauce—a summer essential! 🍜❄️ Price is around $40 per person—very affordable! Great for sharing with friends so you can try more dishes. Their side dishes are also worth mentioning—unique and tasty. Felt like I was in a Korean variety show! 📺💥 Have you been to Gung Jung? What’s your favorite Korean dish in LA?
