I had visited this restaurant before with friends and had fond memories, so I decided to revisit with my family. However, we had the worst experience during Sunday evening dinner.

We arrived a bit early for dinner, and there weren't many guests dining at that time. We were seated, ordered three dishes, and they set up the necessary utensils for the dishes we ordered. While we waited for the food, our family was in good spirits. However, after about 40 minutes, we could sense something was wrong.

Most other tables received their food within 5 to 10 minutes, and the dishes served were the same as what we had ordered. Even guests who arrived at the restaurant well after our family did were already enjoying their meals. During the 40-minute wait, neither the waiter nor the waitress came to our table.

We called the waitress to inquire about the status of our ordered food, and she claimed that our order had not been placed. However, this was a blatant lie because one of the dishes we ordered required a special setup, and the waitress had already set it up at our table immediately after taking our order.

They had assured us that they would prioritize our order, so we decided to wait, not wanting to ruin our dinner plans. However, the additional wait was extremely frustrating. The same dishes we ordered kept being served to other tables, and during the additional 20-minute wait, they did nothing for us.

Finally, we called them again, and the waitress asked if our food had not been served yet. Our patience ran out, and after an hour of waiting without receiving the food we ordered, we had no choice but to leave the restaurant. Despite ruining our family's Sunday evening dinner, they did not offer an apology.

Their customer service was undoubtedly the worst among all the restaurants I have...

This was my first time trying pork soup! I heard about Jinsol Gukbap in LA's Koreatown, but this location seemed to be bigger and had parking. From my experience, service was lacking. They had restrooms to the right the entrance door. There is a waiting list posted to the left of the entrance. I recommend checking that because the ahjummas are so busy they don't look at people coming in.

Parking - parking lot in the back, but can be full during peak meal times. Perhaps try the street or the next plaza over for parking. (or just leave if you are impatient hah)

Service - This location has tablets on every table. You can see pictures for every menu item and order from the tablet. You can even call for service by "ordering" the staff on the tablet. After my party of five got seated, it took them legit 20 minutes to acknowledge us and bring side dishes. We were so confused whether they got our order/if the tablet was working/what is happening??? We had to ask for water. One person at our table was given the wrong dish - and we had proof because it was on the tablet.

Food - The pork soup is indeed tasty. This is the perfect dish to get when it's cold and gloomy in southern California. It reminded me of seoullongtang because you have to add your own salt to taste. The rice that comes with the dish is also really good. With tip and tax, the dish...
