Wooga Sullungtang — Restaurant in Gardena

Lunch in Gardena today.

Parking: This gem is located inside Pacific Square plaza. There's a large parking lot. Finding a spot is easier on weekdays than weekends.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a medium sized space with a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. It's a very casual spot. Good for medium and small groups.

Service: I didn't catch anyone's name but the male worker was courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. The female workers were quick & efficient. They do have a heavy accent, but they speak and understand enough English to get by.

Foods:

1. Yangi Sullungtung - ox bone soup made with beef brisket w/ less fat. This is their specialty. The broth itself was very clean. I forgot the exact name of the oil (lol oops) that I added to give it more flavor. The noodles and beef brisket were cooked well.

2. Spicy Jjimdak - braised spicy chicken drumsticks. This was HUGE! Get your cameras ready because they torch the cheese in front of you! There was a generous amount of drumsticks! The drumsticks were coated with their special spicy sauce. Definitely flavorful. It also came with lots of chopped potatoes and carrots.

3. Korean corn cheese - Again, get your cameras ready because they also torch the cheese in front of you! The portion size was big. Can't mess up a simple dish.

Pricing: Definitely worth its price. The flavors, portion sizes, and experience made...

I am often in the Torrance area for work and adore trying out all the local food spots my friend takes me to. Though on the outside, it may seem like a simple hole-in-the-wall restaurant, Wooga Sullungtang is genuinely an authentic Korean experience. The menu is in Korean and English, though if you are unfamiliar with this style of cuisine, you may want to research it before ordering. We went there on a weekday during lunch, and the only other patrons were older Korean women and a group of university-aged friends while K-Pop music videos played in the background. The staff was very friendly and kind, and though my friend spoke Korean and I did not, they still made me feel included (including one of the older servers sliding me a fork without even having to ask!). I had the beef short rib soup, and my friend had the ox bone soup. I still think about how good it was, possibly being the best soup I have ever tasted. I have yet to find a better place or anything remotely close to hitting the spot here in Seattle. I strongly encourage you to drop in if you’re...

Wooga seolleontang in gardena is just as good, if not better, than any seollontang restaurant in koreatown. The restaurant is very clean and bright; the workers are kind and efficient; the food is amazing. It feels like food mother would make. So refreshing and comforting. The banchan is incredibly fresh and delicious and the mood of the restaurant is relaxing and calm even when the servers seem busy. My banchan is always refilled, the food is so good every time. From where I live, I could be in Koreatown in about 30 minutes ; but honestly , why bother when the food is amazing here and closer to home. Plenty of free parking as well which I can’t say for Koreatown. Definitely come here when you’re in Gardena, you won’t regret it and I’m sure you’ll be back it’s my favorite...
