Brothers Gom Tang | 형제곰탕 | 兄弟 骨汤 Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in Buena Park

I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner at this charming, home-style restaurant recommended by my sister, who often orders takeout from here. Though the space itself is rather small and cozy, it has clearly earned a solid reputation among locals for its exceptional 곰탕 (Gomtang)—a traditional Korean beef soup that stands as the restaurant’s signature dish.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and served by an attentive and genuinely friendly waitress, whose thoughtful service set the tone for the meal. We can often gauge the quality of a Korean restaurant by small but important details—such as the presentation of the food containers, the freshness and flavor of the 반찬 (side dishes), and the careful curation of the menu—and this place passed on all fronts. The 반찬 were fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, offering the perfect complement to the main dishes. The highlight of my meal was definitely the 형제 곰탕 (Brother’s Gomtang). The broth was clean and rich, reminiscent of the classic 이북식 원반 (North Korean-style beef soup) with its deep, clear, and satisfying meat flavor. The slices of beef were tender and of high quality, and dipping them into the savory sauce provided by the restaurant added an extra layer of taste that I truly enjoyed. We also tried the steamed 김치만두 (Kimchi Dumplings). While they were a bit spicier than I typically prefer, the flavor was well-balanced and satisfying. There are still many other items on the menu I’m eager to try—especially with a glass of soju to complement the hearty dishes next time.

What makes this restaurant stand out is its dedication to authentic, home-style Korean comfort food, served in a clean, and welcoming environment. The friendly, attentive staff enhance the overall dining experience, making it a place I want to return to—not just for the food, but for the warmth and care that comes with every visit. I hope they maintain both quality and service to prolong their...

Food: The star of the show is, of course, the hot soup. The menu boasts a variety of options, each more enticing than the last. I opted for the classic boodae Jjigae, and it did not disappoint.

Okay, so I don’t leave reviews very often but I have to for this business. As of writing this review, I have been here twice and the food is really good. I mean really good. I found this place on google and decided to try it out because I love anything korean broth/tang. This place I must say is the best. The high quality of ingredients used and quantity of food given is definitely better than the many many other tang places I have been to. Plus the price is comparable. The galbi tang that I ordered had an ample amount of galbi and the meat was so tender, it just slid off the bone. I am not in any way associated with this restaurant and this is a completely honest, unbiased review. Just a heads up, if you order the brisket gom tang, try it first before you put salt in. Salt is usually added to gom tang to add flavor but I didn’t have to which tells me that this restaurant seasons their...
