Rice Meats Soup — Restaurant in Buena Park

Found an amazing Korean spot in Buena Park near Cypress. Place looks casual and simple outside but their food is amazing!

Their galbijjim is tender with perfect seasoning, not too spicy or sweet, and goes perfectly with their fluffy rice. Finally found a place that makes seafood pancake right! Most places serve soggy pancakes with barely any seafood, but this one's thick, packed with seafood, perfectly crispy outside and properly cooked inside. Makes for perfect rainy day takeout with makgeolli.

The bossam here is so good.....! The pork is tender with no weird smell, and comes with house-made ssam mu (radish wraps). The staff told us that the owner makes everything in-house, even all the banchan like the regular kimchi and green onion kimchi that come with the bossam. The green onion kimchi especially pairs perfectly with the pork.

Super friendly staff, free parking, and plenty of space in the lot. Too hungry to take pictures this time :(

Definitely my new go-to spot when craving...

These portions are amazing humungous without compromising quality! Came in for lunch with my family, glad we did! For a family of four we had so much food!

The King Donkatsu- kid approved with that dipping sauce! Perfectly crunchy outside, juicy meat inside!

Beef Bulgogi- marinated bulgogi beef is mildly sweet, savory and smoky.

Assorted Tofu soup- beef seafood and tofu soup mild spicy, warms your insides wonderfully!

The squid, pork, mussel bulgogi, is massive and perfect to share to a party of more than 4 for sure! This is a new fave! You need to eat one spoonful of the meats and veggies with rice and the explosion of texture and flavors is just chefs kiss!

Don’t forget to get the Peach Green Iced tea! This refreshing drink is needed to complete the meal for sure! Service is awesome, and we were absolutely taken care of!

Also The restaurant is located in a plaza across the cypress college, next to Chase bank, and there’s plenty of free parking so no need to worry...

I moved to the Buena Park area this year and are still trying to figure out our go-to spots for a casual lunch/dinner in case we're too lazy to cook. I saw Rice Meats Soup on Yelp and was intrigued by the fun name. During my first visit this past weekend, we were pleasantly greeted by staff and welcomed to a very clean interior. The vibes were giving comfort and casual, but when the food came out, we were truly in awe! The presentation was amazing. The beautiful braised short rib neatly stacked with pieces of veggies and rice cakes peaking through. Smelled equally fantastic! Seafood pancake was very cirspy, filled with real seafood, and huge.

Portions overall were very generous! We basically took home 2 extra servings although we only ordered 2 menu items. Can't believe I didn't visit this spot sooner! definitely going to be a...
