Jang Mo Gip

I was supposed to meet by friend at Stereoscope for some coffee, but then we got hungry. So we hopped in next door for some beef soup! I felt a little uncomfortable since the restaurant only had a couple tables occupied during prime dinner time. But throughout the meal, I realized they were just regulars who went in and out.
We both ordered the same sulleongtang (without all the tripe and weird intestine stuff). It was good and exactly what I would have expected. I have no complaints, but it wasn’t extraordinary. I’d come back the next time I’m craving sulleongtang because I didn’t have to wait in line and the ajjumas were nice. Price might just be slightly on the higher side?
There’s plenty of parking here and it’s in the corner of the Rite Aid lot.

So hot today. But I’m craving my favorite comfort food! I’ll drive 30 miles to eat suhlungtang here! Worth every penny!

Great soup, yeah service is hit or miss. If you meet the demographics service is okay (meaning if you are korean, speaking the language and are over 50)
But as long as you know about the service the food is worth it. We usually get one sul lung tang (beef soup with noodle) and one spicy soup. Its our place to go for some comfort food. Pretty much the equivalent of chicken noodle soup to Koreans (don’t quote me on it though)

I thought it was good. So did my friends. Must of hit it at just the right time, because the service was the typical Korean borderline friendly, not rude.

It’s a gloomy day so I thought of having a simple soup that will suit the weather. Sullungtang is one of my favorite Korean soup dish. It’s plain, but I really like its simplicity. I also like that I can control how much salt goes into the soup. I give this place 4 stars because I wish they gave more banchan, but overall I enjoyed eating their sullungtang.

I wish I can give them no star. I don’t know what is wrong with the service. One Waitresses, she is always so rude to costumer. I know how it feel as working in restaurant I know it is stressful work to dealing with people. But she need to fix her attitude before surviving food to costumers. I am wondering if she even has or own food handler license. Omg I hate this place and I am never going back.

I’m so in love with this place, and you know it’s authentic when you have elderly Korean women in the back cooking.
I usually get the dak kal gooksoo (shredded chicken + potatoes + noodles in a yummy broth) and the boyfriend orders sullungtang with beef and clear noodles.
Their side dishes are 2 types of kimchi and seaweed which you can dip into a spicy yet sweet hot pepper paste, it’s super addicting. The quality of their kimchi is always good and pairs nicely with any dish.
I’ve also ordered the gamja tang (beef + potato broth) and it was delicious!
Really can’t go wrong here. It does get busy/​packed, so I recommend coming after lunch and before the dinner rush.

Rained hard today so why not some hot soup? (I secretly love soup in any weather just about). There’s an 80 year old man living inside me cuzz I’ve also always liked jazz since I was a little kid but that’s another story.
I’ve been looking for some gamja tang lately. I guess cuzz not too long ago I had some bomb gamja tang in K-​town and just wanted to relive my k-​town experience. :) … but of course I don’t expect to get k-​town quality Korean food outside of LA. I set my expectations accordingly. I’m no rookie about this.
So I browsed Unilocal and hit a couple spots. The most obvious spot appeared as if it only served it in a multi-​person jongol style instead of single serving variety so I couldn’t go there. The rest seemed all similar. So I just picked a spot and ended up here.
The place is typical smallish soup place you usually expect from Korean sulung tang shops. Simple kimchi side dishes but the radish one is SUPER BOMB. The napa cabbage kimchi is not bad. The gamja tang itself is pretty large. I thought I was done fishing out bone and meat from the bowl when what? There’s another one… wow…then yet another one right when I thought I was done. I think I had like 5 or 6 pretty large pieces of bone in my bowl of pork neck soup.
Overall it was ok. The meat was ok and at least it was mostly tender. The broth is what got me. Although it was edible and good enough, it just didn’t hit the spot. It just… wasn’t K-​TOWN! AHHHHHHHhhhhh. Man LA got some bomb food.

My favorite place to get sul lung tang, hands down! It’s a little hole-​in-​the-​wall place, but the food is good and their kimchi is great. I haven’t really tried anything else but the sul lung tang, so I can’t say for other items on the menu. However, if you’re feeling under the weather, or it’s cold and you want soup, or even if you just want some good Korean comfort food, this is the place to go.

Waited a full 30 minutes while everyone got served first.
My family were regulars here til the servers there completely ignored us. No food. No water. No side dishes until we complained to them.
We left the restaurant with an empty stomach sadly…

Decent food with decent price.
I’m giving it a 2 star because the servers are terrible here. Gave me attitude for asking many questions and took forever getting my food out.
Never coming back here again.

Very rude service. My Korean g.f. wanted soup cause it was cold last night. I’m Latin and willing to try new things. G. f warned me that good is good but service is pookie at best. Still we went. We sat down. Ordered. They didn’t have water. I was served tea. When I asked. They rudley said. «NO WATER».
Also we were instructed to pay up front. Which my g. f said. They never done that before.
Will. Return. «HELL NO»

I was there last night with my bf and we got the rudest service ever. My soup was really cold and I asked if they could warm it up for me she kept saying that it was warm enough and a dirty look. Then while we were eating she asked us to pay now in the rudest way ever. To make things worse I asked for ice water and she kept giving us cold tea… HELLO does she even know what ice water is?

I really like the food but the service is not the best. go to the one in La Palma! So much better!!!

I ordered a freakin Potato Stew and all I got was meat. There was a reason I ordered a potato stew and all they give me was one potato and rest was bones with meat. I know this might have been good for some people, but I wasnt in a mood for meat. I wanted potatoes, not meat.
I have visited this place for more than 10 years, but today was the worst. The soup was bland and no potatoes in a potato stew was disappointing.
In addition to the food, I have to say that the customer service differs if you are a teenager coming in with a parent or if you come in alone. My family come here a lot because its close to home. They give us pretty good service WHEN I COME WITH AN ADULT. I once went in to pick/​eat, I got my orders an hour after waiting for all the adults that came in after me to get theirs first. Then when I asked «when is my order coming out?» The waiter just glared and me and just straight up told me to wait and stop being rude. I was dumbfounded… I was sitting in the restaurant for more than an hour waiting for my order and when I ask, I get told that I am rude? And finally I get my order to find that they had hair in it. I was just done with this place and pick up my togo food for my parents and left.
This place is ok, but if you are young, just go with your parents or someone older than you. Cuz if you don’t, there is a high chance of you being mistreated.

Definitely one of the top Sullungtang place in Southern California! I’ve been coming here for a long time and have always enjoyed their broth! I mean, consistency is what makes the restaurant, and this place definitely kept up their flavor all these years!
Their sullungtang is rich and flavorful but also very clean at the same time! I also like how you can customize your soup — types of meat, types of noodles… etc.
Other soups on the list I’ve tried are also good from thier «dda-​ro-​gook-​bab» to ‘chicken kalgooksu’.
To top it off, they have great kimchi (both cabbage and radish) as well as simple yet delicious seaweed salad with spicy sauce.

My go to place when I need a cure for hangover or when I am sick. They have a variety of traditional Korea soups/​stews. They have also been around for a really long time.
My two favorite are hae jang gook and tha ru gook bap. They are both delicious and has a spice/​kick to it. I love how if you want it more spicy, you just have to ask. If you also want more soup and less «stuff» in whatever stew, you can do that, vice versa.
If you want to take an order togo, I recommend you call them right before you leave. They get it ready to go quickly, but it is more of a convenience to you if you call ahead.

One of my favorite Korean Soup houses. Jang Mo isn’t very fancy and I don’t know if they even have english menu’s however the soup is amazing! This place can get pretty busy too but luckily its in a huge shopping center with a ton of parking. They are well known for their Sulungtang (milky bone marrow soup.) Its the perfect cure for a hangover or if you have a cold. Darow Gook Bap is rich and delicious and is one of my goto’s. The service isn’t the best but if you are used to eating at Korean resturaunts you’ll figure out that service is, delivering your food on time, answering when you say Juhgiyo, and answering you when you push the button. If you can get past the service and just enjoy the food, this is an amazing little gem.

My parents enjoyed their haejang gook, but thought it was too salty. I got the pork neck potato soup and it was filled with pork neck bones with meat, and potatoes. Unfortunately, the soup itself was quite bland. For the price, the amount of food you get is great, but it wasn’t amazing.

This is like the La Palma location except I kind of like the La Palma one better because the ahjumas are more warm and friendly.
Legit sullungtang, better than that clear crap you get at Young Dong down the street. Lately every time I come here I’ve been ordering dda ro gook bap or chicken kalgooksu rather than their signature dish.
Ddarogook bap is pretty much similar to yookgaejang which is another spicy beef soup with glass noodles and veggies, except ddarogook bap has chunks of beef and radish with no egg… if I remember correctly. Even though it’s loaded with all those goodies I still like to toss in heaping spoonfuls of chopped scallions into my soup. This is a good dish when you want something a little more jazzy than your regular ol’ sullungtang.
Their chicken (dak) kalgooksu is pretty legit too, I think they make the broth from their chicken gomtang so it’s not a clear broth, but a nice meaty rich chicken broth. There’s shreds of chicken meat alongside some zucchini and potatoes with a bounty of handmade noodles. Again, I like to pack on ridiculous amounts of scallions and black pepper into this dish to kick it up a notch. The noodles come with dah dae gi to season the broth a little more, but I ended up using salt instead out of personal preference.
Back in the day Jang Mo Jip had really bomb ggakdugi (radish kimchi) it was always crunchy with the right amount of fermented sourness. As i got older though their ggakdugi became a little more sweeter than before, it’s not bad, but it’s also not as good as in the past. Still, their kimchi is good and when at a restaurant specializing in Korean soups especially like sullungtang you have to have good kimchi or else your whole experience doesn’t reach its maximum potential.
At the end they serve you shikhye, traditional Korean rice drink… always a great way to end a flavor heavy meal with a sweet and refreshing drink like shikhye. Any Korean spot that serves this at the end of the meal get extra points in my book!
Overall, this place is solid.
