Jang Ga Nae Restaurant — Restaurant in Rowland Heights

I met with college friends for lunch. Our friend Linda picked the spot and Jang Ga Nae. She said she watched a Korean drama “Let’s Eat”, and the main characters had Gam Ja Tang so she wanted it, too. Her Korean husband found this restaurant, and it was one of the best Gam Ja Tang she’s had.

Banchan 반잔

Not too many banchan. I like the seaweed and bean sprouts. Oh and there’s a Yelp check-in special to get a free soda.

We ordered a Seafood Pancake to share. This is like a Korean pizza with tons of seafood in it. It was crispy on the outside, and very flavorful.

However I'll be back to try their bossam or their cold noodle dishes when the...

We have gone here a couple of times for their bossam which is on top of our list amongst the other bossam places within 10 miles around the area but we recently tried their marinated crab and I'll tell you now, it is top notch!! I would actually say it is the best we have had so far compared to the famous ones around the LA area.

This is a family owned business that says a lot about the place how each food they serve is from the heart. Give it a try. You'll probably come back over and over like us. Oh, and their side dishes...
