Kang Euni Korean Restaurant — Restaurant in La Palma

One of the most authentic Korean restaurant I've been to in the U.S. The side dishes are so amazing and things that aren't usually served in other places (due to probably high costs or difficulty making) so I was already impressed. They are very hearty and delicious. We ordered braised mackerel with kimchi and it really hit the spot like my grandma made it. The flavor was deep and rich and everything you could ask for, salty, sweet, umami, spicy, tangy, deep. It's not too overpowering either. We got another round of rice because it was that good. Also items on the menu are priced right and pretty affordable to other Korean spots. We see a lot of older Korean moms, grandmas, and dads at this spot so it's really legit. I am coming back here to try everything else...

Arrived for dinner close to closing time (the couple who own the restaurant were seated for their own dinner and the few back tables were not cleared). Thankfully the gentleman said we could still get dinner served. Got the octopus bibimbap : hot stone pot, we let the rice and octopus sit to get a nice crisp bottom crust . The galbi tang soup came with a very tender spare rib bone in, plus clear noodles. Broth was a little bit thin. I enjoyed the kulkutsu dish: clear beef broth with thicker flat flour noodles, lots of sliced zucchini squash plus shredded carrots. It was very satisfying even without any meat. This spot used to be a poke bowl spot. Located in the plaza with a Walmart neighborhood store. Friendly people and family owned. Support small Asian...
