    I ordered on the phone, one pork bone soup, small order pork fried dumplings, and one spicy beef noodle soup. I guess they heard me wrong so I got my spicy beef noodle soup replaced with the old time soup. I really just wanted to try the noodles so I wasn't tripping. The pork bone soup was so huge and had a really good flavor!! The dumplings were crispy and the filling was flavorful. My soup was like whatever but the noodles were bomb. I would go again to try the spicy beef noodle soup for sure.

    Update: Ok my last review still stands but we need to talk about how the "small" or "not large" pork neck stew I got was a catering tray. Look at it! Those containers to the left were 32 oz deli containers that now look tiny. Was this a mistake? Did I win the stew lottery? I ate for a week! And it was absolutely delicious! I felt like I got the world's best deal combined with the very nice ladies who work there. They even had tables set up at the door so I didn't have to go in. Covid safe! Also seriously, don't miss out on the jar of kimchi or frozen dumplings. I've been going back primarily to stock the house with the best kimchi I've found in the area. Original review: So I was looking for jars of kimchi in the area. What, you don't regularly look up "kimchi jar" nearby? This is the best one I've found in the area. Yukdaejang is good, but it's sold whole and uncut. Miraku is Japanese style and sweeter than I like. So here's the fun part. Trying to order a kimchi jar. The lady on the phone was super patient with me as I tried to explain that I did not want a side, I wanted the whole darned jar. I also got a beef sujebi, which was delicious and HUGE (one and a half to two meals worth! A full quart container of just soup). I wasn't calling in just demanding jars. I finally asked when I went to pick up how to order in the future and she told me, "BIG kimchi!" It did come in a styrofoam quart take out container but I got some spare plastic jars at home. The included radish banchan was real fresh too. I wonder if they would sell me a jar of that?

    I have a client in Gardena so I'm here once a quarter. This was my 6th visit and certainly won't be my last. Their pork bulgogi is sooooo good. We call it 불맛 lol. [Korean Cuisine]

    Omg... very good bowl of noodle soup. Expensive but they give you quite a lot of food. Very flavorful and service is excellent. 😋

    Went for takeout and was very satisfied. Giant tub of gamjatang (pork bone soup) was flavorful. We were shocked at the size when we opened up the takeout bags and realized how big it was, we'd expected something more normal sized at $15.99. Not complaining at all! Definitely making this place a regular stop.

    The best Korean food served here!!!! Your kids will have their own tray for free Highly recommend BBQ beef ribs, it's freaking delicious. Thanks me later lol

    We used to go regularly and really enjoyed the food and service, ever since we returned recently after the pandemic the quality of both the food and service has gone down, we experienced some form a racial tension as were Latino, the customer service was lacking and the meat we chose was very rough. We hope the quality improve and can move past this.

    Great service, great food. Marinated Beef Ribs are a must. You can taste the freshness in the noodles. Will go back.

    I've wanted to try different foods. It was really good. The service was friendly and the environment was clean.

    Quite good! I had the Old Time Handmade Noodle Bowl..... noodles were tasty! The broth was good, but it could've been a little more layered with flavor. Great dumplings Also, accidentally had some Blood Sausage… Wasn't bad. Wasn't all that great… Or flavorful. But not bad… It had a good texture, surprisingly Service was excellent, and I really felt like I was taking care of even though they were busy I'd like to go back and explore more of the menu

    The LA Galbi was possibly the best I’ve had in many many years! So good! Char-grilled with perfect sweet and savory tender meat! The spicy cold noodles were made just the way I like! So tasty!!! Definitely our new go-to Korean restaurant! So happy with this discovery!

    One of the best meals I’ve had in my life. So fresh and tasty. Generous portions. Friendly. Affordable. We had the pork and potato stew as well as a lunch box. Both out of this world. Really comforting as well.

    Walk in and they will seat you right away. Portions are massive, so expect to share or take home leftovers. Kimchi and radish banchan are included with your order. The whole menu is good, freshly made and delicious. You can't go wrong.

    Very hospitable customer service and allowed my little Chiuahuah mix to be inside with me while I ate😊💗 I'm very appreciative with that. 🥰 they have such friendly and fast service. Fresh and hot and served with a genuine smile not to mention the occasional check ins to see how our stay was going and if we needed anything else to accommodate us💗🙏 I highly recommend this establishment to dine in or just take out. Hope to return again soon 💗💗
