Gung Jung Restaurant — Restaurant in Walnut

Kimchi Hot Pot: This was served with a portable gas stove at our table. The waitress told us this can feed 3-4 people, since the pot was quite big. The big wok was filled with kimchi, beef on the bone, slices of pork belly, hot dog (yes, there was hot dog in there), mushrooms, and more kimchi. Once the pot started boiling, all the kimchi and meat flavors just came together in deliciousness! Perfect for a cold day!

Duk Mandoo (Dumplings with Rice Cake): The dumplings are the smaller kind, not the giant king dumplings you find at typical korean places. The dumplings were flavorful. The soup complimented the chewy rice cakes perfectly! This is great for those who want great flavors but don't feel like eating spicy food.

Yukejang (spicy beef and vegetable soup): This is your typical spicy beef and vegetable soup. There was some glass noodles in there. People usually eat this with a bowl of rice. It was delicious, but nothing special or different from other yukejang.

The menu also had a lot of other soups to choose from, which this place is known for. I'm definitely coming back to try the other things...

We just finished eating here (family of 4) they rejected to receive credit card payment because their POS was offline (did NOT mention this at the time of entrance). They required CASH payment of $47 and made us go out to use ATM which charged us for withdrawal. Then I walked back to the restaurant to pay, and I paid cash $60 expecting change. They gave back $12.something in change, 2 $1 bills and 1 $10 bill. I just wanted to leave $2.change because I went through the hassle of walking to the ATM and paid ATM fee because they rejected credit card payment. Then they asked at least 10% in tip saying it's MANDATORY. Again they said tip is MANDATORY. I did not see this anywhere in the establishment. I lived in DB for well over 20+ years and visited this place under the new management as well as old. The old was MUCH better. This place has gone DOWN for the WORST. My family and I will NOT be...

-2024 New Review- I am regular customer of this restaurant now. Since2020? I think? This restaurant ownership changed, and trying to change many things now. . Food Taste still good. They changed menu for more good deals. And their menu board is also renewed.

I love this place bc it feels like my home food in South Korea. Btw I highly recommend Cold Noodles, Dumpling Soup, n Soondae Soup.

. Couple months keep trying this place. Recommended Dumpling Soup, Cold Noodle, Spicy Cold Noodle could be little spicy for Americans. If you are original Korean, you can eat home food.

Customer service is also great but you need time to get used to...
