This place was okay. The service was not very good, they weren’t nice. But overall the food was okay. I’ve had a lot better!

I’ve come here twice now, both times for their cheap breakfast menu. I ordered sullangtang the first time, and then the dogani tang the second. Both broths were delicious, and the meat was amazing! If they’re busy, you do need to grab their attention a few times; however, on a slow day, it’s fairly easy to grab their attention and ask for what you need. I wanted noodles in my dogani tang, and they added it on with no extra charge. Sullangtang was 7.99 I think, and the dogani tang was 6.99.

Having tried so many Korean restaurants, this is definitely my top choice of all time. I never really liked Korean food but this place changed my thoughts on Korean food. Their sullantang is a must-try! I ordered the spicy Beef neck soup and my girlfriend ordered the ox tail soup(2nd time in a row). We also ordered the seafood and leek pancake to share and it was bomb One thing I like about Korean restaurants is their side dishes. This place provides hella side dishes to costumes and on top of that, they also give you hot steamed egg. Last but not least, service is on point and 10⁄10 would come back again if you like hot soup and want some comfort food, put this on your to-go list

I come here for the Korean soup. This place will give you plenty of side dishes. These ladies will make you feel at home. The restaurant looks dark and not very cleaned but the food is amazing. I highly recommend this place for hot oxtail soup.

Get the gamja tang! It’s beef and potatoes hearty soup! It does have a spicy kick so if you can’t do spicy ask them to make it a little mild. I love their togo packaging, they give you your order in plastic tupperware. In the mornings they have togo soups until 10:30, I like their yuk gwe jang for 6.99, they charge a dollar to get it to go! But I think they still have great prices.

Came here because I was really craving mul naengmyun. I usually go to Yu Chun because they specialize in cold noodle but they close at 9! Checked this place and they closed at 11pm on a Friday. Got here and found out they stop serving cold noodle by 9pm! So disappointed. I had to choose a noodle soup that was hot instead. I ordered the Kalbi Tang($ 12.99) which has noodles in it. Since the server lady knew I really wanted cold noodle, she said she would give me extra noodles, which was nice. There is also a lot of meat that comes inside this dish too. IT was pretty delicious even though it wasn’t what I came here for. Overall, the service was really good. the lady who served us was really nice and friendly. She was very generous and didn’t hesitate at all when we requested refills on all the side dishes. There is free parking here btw! No need to valet or anything. There is plenty of parking behind the building in a lot.

They have great combos here! The price and the amount of food is pretty legit. The only thing I would suggest is to have more helpers but thats for most korean resturants.

I love this place! Its cheap and they offer some good korean food. Its a hole in the wall place. My roommate first introduced this place to me about 2 years ago and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since! They have banggaetang(half chicken soup… half chicken with rice, ginseng, chestnuts, and other nutritious items inside!). which is one of my favorites. They have good soups for hangovers too. Honestly, everything here is good. One bad thing is if you plan to togo, they only give kimchi and the radish kimchi for side. If you eat there, theres plenty of other side dishes they provide as well. Service can be a little slow. They also have complimentary shikkae for everyone to drink!

This is a true hole in the wall gem. The food is amazing. You can tell every meat, all the cooking is done by pure precision and cooking. I’ve been here more than once to try different items on the menu and it is consistent.

If you want legit authentic Korean food this is the spot. Got to try the galbitang which is beef rib soup, sulungtang beef bone or pork bone soup, and samgaetang which is chicken ginseng soup. Side dishes are amazing and the food taste like how your grandma would cook it. Service is amazing always catering to your needs. 5 stars overall. :)

My roommate and I had some late night cravings so we came to this place. The food was decent and the service was the best I’ve had in many years.(maybe because we were the only customers in the restaurant at that time). The stir-fried squid was good, lots of side dishes. The owner even gave us more seaweed salad when she noticed that we liked it so much. The complimentary drink that came at the end was the highlight of the entire meal. Would definitely come back again soon.

Was lead here after a tip that they had really good gamjatang. First, the interior; well its clearly a mexican restaurant. Until you come, you won’t know what a cactus chandelier is. I’m here for the food and well that was just okay. The gamjatang that we got was definitely the better of the two soups with more flavor and a richer broth. They also gave a decent portion of neck bones for you to gnaw on. The beef with cabbage soup was just plan boring soup; I wouldn’t recommend it. Service here was good even though the older lady’s english wasn’t the best but she seemed nice. They also give a sweetened drink instead of water at first but water is available upon request.

I ordered Muk eunji dewji galbi-jjim that comes not only 5 pieces of small bones & meat barely sticked with, but also uncutted and unboiled kimchi. I would pay 12.99 if i knew that comes like that BS. ITWASAROUND $ 33SHAKINGMYHEAD. 4ppl ate only each a small bone. For people who don’t recognize yet THEBONESIZE. The Bone is ASSMALLASAABATTERY. can you imagine? Id rather pay 33 for ordering pizza hut. Also, Uncutted kimchi was just amazing, they gave us another challenge. i’m boiling 4 ramens with my friend. we can just determine that the same as «Appetizer«. THANKYOUDON’T MAKEMONEYLIKETHAT ^^ i would have written in korean if i could, Unilocal can’t type it. about the amount. Neither i seen that kind of amounts in korea ever. im telling all my korean & american friends not to go eat there. Extremely expensive oh, furthermore, you gotta know this, the food taste is worse than any other soju bar in K town. i swear to god. i’m the person usually being generous and giving a great applause. This restaurant is The WORST ever i been in LA no, excuse me, in the US.

Service: Subpar. Both times that I’ve been here it’s taken nearly 15mins to get water and banchan. And they didn’t even bring them until asked. Food: Pretty good. I’ve tried the oxtail soup(kkori gomtang) and the chicken ginger soup(ban ge tang). The meat on the oxtail was delicious. It literally slid right off the bone and melted in your mouth. The chicken soup was pretty good too. I wish the ginger/prune/garlic flavor was a little stronger in the broth but besides that it was satisfying.

I’ve been here several times and every time it’s been great. I was a little intimidated at first because I don’t speak Korean, but everyone at Surawon is very friendly and some of the servers speak some english. I have yet to try a soup that is not delicious. The pork neck soup and the oxtail soup are two of my favorites, all the banchan dishes are great as well. I ordered the seafood scallion pancake once it was delicious, but HUGE; we had to take half of it home(there were only two of us). If you’re looking to get comfort food on a cold day, this is a great option.

I had no idea what to order. Not very familiar with all the beef parts lol and I am still not very sure what I ordered. The thing I do know is the stew was delicious! Service was very friendly. Though I don’t speak any Korean, we were able to communicate just fine. She was always smiling and very patient when I had no clue what I was doing. The beef stew was full of collagen. My lips were stick together after eating it. Also loved the spicy cold noodle and seafood pancake.

Not the easiest to find, the cleanest, or the most friendly, but a solid spot for authentic korean food. My boyfriend and I are both korean, but we both don’t know how to speak it. So, it’s pretty difficult when the waiters try to speak to us in korean, realize we don’t know what they’re saying and have to try their best to speak broken english. Despite all of this, we really enjoyed the food. We both got nengmyun and I got a korean pancake, and he got galbi. All of the food was outstanding, but the ambiance was kind of blah – I guess you can’t expect much with this hole-in-the-wall. There are so many options for korean food, you really have to make an impression. And while the food was good, I didn’t feel particularly comfortable or feel like things were clean so we probably won’t be back.

Perfect post-Korean spa meal! I ordered ox-bone & cow cheek meat soup, my mom ordered ox-bone soup. I think broth was the same in both and only the meat differed. Soup tasted great and they give a dipping sauce for the meat. Banchan was soo good I asked for refills. The purple rice was also delicious and the sweet rice drink they give you at the end was a perfect compliment to the meal. Will definitely be back!
