My wife and mother in law was feeling a bit under the weather after a bridal shower so we're in the area and I found this place on Yelp. There's ample of parking as it's in a shopping plaza. We were able to park right in the front. When we got there around 5:30pm Saturday, there were only a couple other tables so we were seated right away. But as time elapsed, more people showed and it started to get packed but it's a fairly big restaurant so there's enough tables to accommodate.
We ordered the ginseng chicken soup w medicinal herbs and ginseng chicken and abalone porridge. They both felt the flavor was blend and lacking and ended up taking both entrees to go so they can make it better at home. My wife did ask about the chicken whether it was tender or dry and she felt the chicken was tender. The waitress did not bring the side dishes until the food arrived which we thought was odd considering all of the other Korean restaurants we've been to always bring it way before your main dish arrives but my wife and mother in law did not like any of them as they felt they were too salty.
Overall: the food was blend in a healthy way but if you want it tasty then this is def not the spot. We did see majority of the people ordering pork and chicken feet. As non-Koreans, we're not familiar with those dishes and they did not recommend or explain the...
Read moreDelicious "home cooked style" Korean food. They do not serve the typical Korean BBQ however they do make a delicious Kal-bi jjim (tender bbq short rib stew). It's huge and there's about 8 big chunks of meat along with onions, potatoes, carrots and dok (rice cake). It could serve 3-maybe 4 comfortably. Cost for this delicious stew is $42 but it was quite delicious. Their Mul Naeng myun (cold noodle in broth) was really good and refreshing. Portion size was more than enough for one person. Kim chi was delicious yet the radish kimchi was okay....my mom makes it better (sorry). Their short rib soup was flavorful with 4 tender shortrib chunks adorned with sliced radish slices. It was perfectly seasoned and my husband loved every slurpin' spoon of it. My mom ordered a spicy shortrib soup. Sorry, but I don't know the name of it. She said it was really good and hasn't had this soup for awhile. Overall, this place is really good. The only thing that may be challenging is that the waitresses are limited on English. Lucky for me, I had my mom. Also, don't come here if you want the typical Korean BBQ...wrong restaurant. But it is the RIGHT restaurant if you want to try other types of delicious...
Read moreRelatively new korean spot in town. This whole Buena Park scene turned into the second wave of ktown, first wave being LA's own ktown. Korean shops are opening and closing and the restaurants have to be better than decent to survive here. We tried their combination dinner with their bo ssam set (boiled pork shoulder w/ wrap), jok bar (pig feet), and korean miso. Their side dishes came out first. I can usually tell how good these korean restaurants are from side dishes. Dine passed that test. Every side dish were prepared well. Both bo ssam and jok bar are such specialized dishes that I almost never order from restaurants other than ones in LA that specialized in such dish. I was so impressed with their bo ssam knowing that how difficult to get this dish right. I especially liked the fact that they use plenty of oyster with that pickled radish to mixed it with your wrap. Their steamed egg that comes out as a set was fluffy and steamed up to the top. I liked how I can taste the minced shrimp with each bite. Very authentic Korean food with relatively good price. Other than the slow service that night I...
