very good...

최고의 보쌈 강추 합니다 그리고 김치 와 보쌈속 30년 넘게 미국서 먹어본 식당중에 최고 였습니다 감사히 잘 먹고 갑니다 다음에 다시 뵙겠습니다

해물탕 포장해서 집에서 먹었는데요. 3인분이라고 하시는데 실제로 먹어보니까 6명도 먹을 수 있을 것 같아요. 국물도 시원하고 밥, 반찬도 많이 챙겨주시네요. 그런데 메뉴에 해물탕+보쌈셋트도 있는데 술때문에 포장이 안된다고 하네요. 술빼고는 포장가능한지는 모르겠네요.

전제적으로 한국음식 값이 많이 올라서 이젠 가성비 음식점은 없는거 같아요. 하지만 그중에서도 맛이 있는 음식점이 있죠. 해물탕이 대표일거 같지만 제 개인적으론 우와 하는 정도는 아니예요. 하지만 보쌈의 빨간김치랑 아구찜 양념은 정말 맛있습니다.

Very good food and sevice.

Always give us an excellent service.

Best place! They are here 20+ years and you will know why!

Great food. Love them Agujjims.

Loved the food, the employees were polite

Hwangsil Bossam is so good. I am definitely bringing my future date here.

I been here over 15 years still same taste nothing change that much that so why I like this place. Specially many good value side dishs.

Authentic korean dishes for decent price patronized by mostly koreans. The restaurant has been there for a while so inside is dated

We always come here after class is over. The staff is super friendly. The food is really authentic and tasty.

Very delicious authentic korean food. Everything tasted great and had great time there.

It was great service. I brought my own pot and it works!! Good taste and fresh seafood!!

I stopped by at this restaurant and enjoyed very good lunch.

Great food! Delicious hot clay rice bowl and very good seafood. 100%recommended!!!!

Bossam is better than ktown

Really good and great customer service. Alot of food for a really good price as well

해물탕 "Hae-Mool-Tang" is traditional Korean sea food stew consists of fish, mussels, shrimps, and veggies. Can be bit spicy, but best if accompanied with a shot of soju. They make you a fried rice at the end so don't miss out.

Best sea food stew in California, even better on a cold night. Also try the dish called a Kimchee BoSSahm...its a pork dish...best I ever tasted....service I do not even remember since food was so good...if you can handle little liquor try it with Sojoo..its even better. Five star on quality....I am so full and very happy

This is one of the best Korean restaurants in America. Even in Korea, it's not easy to find such a great restaurant. Whenever I have special guests even those who are from Korea, I take them to this restaurant, and they are greatly impressed. If you take your friends or guests to this restaurant, you won't be disappointed. Usually for korean guests, all menus are great. For American friends, I usually order meat menu such as Bulgogi, Bulgogi Ssambab either pork or beef, or fish Ssambab, or Emperor's Bossam (very good if you know jow to eat), or Aguzzim (I think, monk fish spicy stew with a lot of bean sprout),... You may try any menu there, and jt will be a venture. About 25 years ago, the restaurant was in Garden Grove. People lined up to eat there evey evening. When they mo ed away from that place, I was sad. Then when I found the same owners in the present location, I was overjoyed. I greatly recommend this restaurant. The greatest authentic korean restaurant in the world.

They have been open for over 20 years. Great seafood meals. Ask them to add the rice into the soup after to stir fry

If you are a fan of spicy traditional Korean Casserole(Jeon Gol) or steamed pork belly(samkyupsal). This place is the best in southern side of LA county.

This was the most authentic Korean restaurant I’ve ever been in in California! The staff were so lovely, so friendly and it reminded me of my grandparents 💗 They were taking care of us so well and were trying to teach us how to eat the food we ordered. They watched us enjoy the food and it was just a very heartwarming meal. This is what we ordered: ⭐️Boiled pork diced, soybean paste soup and a sorted vegetables $22.99: This was all so amazing. I was craving this so badly. The pork is cooked perfectly and love all the lettuce/perrila leaves/… that it come with. I of course made my wraps with their banchans as well and oml!!! They were the most authentic banchans I’ve never had!! It tasted differently from what I was use to, it more seasoned and all tasted so fresh ⭐️Spicy beef soup $19.99 : This has so much fillings, lots of vegetables and beef! My fiance loved it and it hit the spot after a night of drinking haha

From the outside, this restaurant looks old, and even inside, it feels like it could use some refurbishment. However, the food is absolutely delicious. In Korean cuisine, we use the expression "son-mat," which refers to the unique taste that comes from skill and experience. There’s a saying that the older the restaurant, the better the "son-mat." The food here is incredibly flavorful. Definitely coming back

Really good and authentic Korean food.

It seems there are a lot of old korean folks hanging out and having fun in the restaurant. I guess it's a good indication of authenticity, but at the same time it was intimidating my wife. Anyway, the food and the service was amazing though. We ordered bbq chicken (the only chicken in the menu for dinner), seafood Korean pancake, and stew Pollack fish. Whatever comes in the pollack stew tasted very good (my wife said it is the fish's intestines - see picture). Definitely will go back when I'm visiting the town again.

I love this restaurant. Korean seafood special soup and after eating make it fairies recommend. Most menus I like it and best👍 I miss sweet rice punch - free desert

A must visit to this hidden gem. My first bite took me right across the Pacific Ocean to South Korea. Don’t be fooled by the old exterior and interior of the restaurant as each dish brings you truly authentic Korean flavours. The beef bulgogi is the best I have tried. Regarding the poor customer service comments from other patrons, I can imagine this is due to the level of English that the owner and staff speaks. In fact, all I heard while dining is just Korean (including all other patrons). We managed to somehow communicate with each other but I can only imagine the language barrier is a sign of the authenticity of the dish itself.

I like the taste here. Very good services and prices.

Servers look busy, but kind and tried to make things faster

Super authentic korean meal. Really loved it. One of the best korean restaurants in LA, for sure.

Super authentic korean meal. Really loved it. One of the best korean restaurants in LA, for sure.

They have a good selection of lunch menu which are tasty along with fresh refillable side dishes. Fish soup is a must try item if you are a seafood lover.

맛도 좋고 친절하고 기분 좋아지는 식사

가격은 조금 비싸지만 맛만큼은 최고였다

점심에 쌈밥은 정말 가격도 맛도 모두 만족스럽습니다. 쌈추가도 가능하고 밑반찬도 모두 맛있습니다. 점심시간에 평일임애도 많은 분들이 찾아 조금 기다리는 상황이 발생할 수 있습니다. 하지만! 그만큼 양질의 음식이 있습니다. 돼지불고기도 생선구이도 소불고기도 모두 맛있었습니다. 밑받찬도 모두 맛이있었고 추가도 모두 되었습니다. 서빙을 하시는 분들도 친절하셔서 나쁜 기억이 없는 식사였습니다. 6번 방문하는동안 모두 만족한 식사였습니다. 해물탕집인데 6번을 가는동안 해물탕을 시켜본적이 없는게 이상하지만 점심시간 할인된 가격의 쌈밥을 보고 그냥 지나치는것은 너무나 힘든일입니다. 조만간 해물탕을 먹어보겠습니다. 이곳이라면 물론 맛은 보장될 것입니다.

겨울에 먹는 비빔 냉면 따뜻한 육수가 없어서 조금 아쉬웠지만 음식맛이 좋네요..옆에 함께 하는 울 신랑 은 보쌈김치 를 드시는데 돼지고기 육질이 부드럽 다고 맛있다고요... I'm definitely come back again thank you

Decent Korean restarant

Good price..

Ok

authentic korean food

Very good.

Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Casual. Service was on the slower side—food took a while to come out. Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • Codfish Soup ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very flavorful and satisfying. • Banchan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The side dishes were excellent—fresh, well-seasoned, and a great complement to the meal. Overall Thoughts A very authentic Korean spot with strong flavors. Will I come back? Yes.

음식맛있고, 서비스도 너무 친절해요! 그런데... 식당 내부 벽, 창틀, 등등 먼지가 너무 눈에뛰게 보여서... 그게 많이 아쉬워요... 밥맛이떨어져요

불고기 맛있움 해물탕도 평타 반찬 맛집인듯

Delicious and hearty seafood stew, my favorit

Like this place. . Service & food is good.

Delicious food, good price !

Good service and food

Good food, but somewhat pricey.

Foods pretty good, Servis is ok.

Food is really good but smells a bit like a seafood market inside🐟🐟🐟 I'm coming back for the food👍

Food tastes good, but place need to be little more clean!

Pork with kimchee was excellent. Seafood soup/casserole was so-so, nothing special, which was disappointing, cuz that was their specialty. Spicy octopus was pretty good. Potato pancake was pretty good, too. We sat in a large room in the back, so we were able to eat leisurely. Service was very good. Usual soju and beer available.

There was plenty of food! The seafood pancake is my favorite! We had the lunch special bbq beef n steamed rice bowl. First of all, that BOWL is probably STILL Hot!! Lol omg! The food inside said bowl was delicious and more then enough for lunch/ dinner. The staff was very friendly n helpful as well.

Small parking cause tent

So so

Like the food, not so much the service

So so..... not special that any regular resturant.....

Expensive but taste ok. Value taste price don't match.

This place was pretty good. The side dishes that they search for excellent. However the main courses were just kind of ho-hum. It's a decent place to go to but I'm not sure I would want to go again.

보쌈고기가 너무 말라 있었고. 반황실보쌈에 알탕하나.그리고 막걸리 한병 먹었는데 가격이 60불 나왔네요. 점심식사에 양도 많지 않은데 지나치게 비싼 가격이네요. 둘이서 일인당 30불씩 먹은 결론인데 그렇다면 다른곳에서 더 잘 먹을 수 있겠어요.

too much msg....

They are closed on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!

Not bad

Foods are just okay but seems quite pricey.

Never wants to go back

Hairs in the foods My received left over food from other table, reason I know is it shows teeth Mark on foods.

NEVER EVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!! I HAD FOOD POISIONING. THE SIDE DISH WAS SPOILED AND DISHES WAS VERY DIRTY.

Absolutely no taste, I was hungry and still didn't like the food. Waste of money try some where else!

I'm sorry old ladies but foods are no good and prices are way too expensive. I'm very disappointed

This is the best food I’ve had but the service is not the best and they mandatorily charged us 20% tip after taxes. I understand we should leave a tips but it should be optional not a mandatory 20% when service was not good. And notated in a post stick not on the actual bill.

We first tried this restaurant over a year ago. The food was ok, but the service was bad. We decided to give it a second try. Bad decision. Service has gotten from bad to worse. It was non-existence. Food took a very long time, and no, there were only two other families besides us. They practically dumped our food on the table and ignored us for the entire evening. We asked for a refill of hot tea. The waitress walked by our table three times, but no tea refills. We asked for water. The waitress pretended she didn't understand even thou we waived an empty cup in front of her. We repeated slowly, almost had to spell it out--W A T E R. She refilled one cup and ignored the other three cups. 🙄 Oh, our six plates of banchans were totally emptied. Dare she asked if we'd like refills? Not!!! Their motto must be NO REFILL of anything. NEVER again. There are plenty of other Korean restaurants in this area that serve great foods and customer service. Last, they were rather pricey for a run-down nondescriptive place. Definitely not worth your time or money.

This place used to have good food. Not anymore. Me and my wife visited this place lately and ordered Korean seafood stew(small size) $49.95 which was somewhat expensive. Worst Korean seafood stew I have ever had in my lifetime. Place is dirty, flies roaming around. Anyway I windup paying total around $62. I wouldn't go this place to eat even though they pay me to eat. This place is joke. Please save your time and money. DON'T GO!

I haven't been here for last year & 1/2. I ordered Bossam which used to be really good, my favorite dish here. I was here today & I was so disappointed. Meat was tough, special kimchee used have diced chestnuts but not anymore. Service was bad. Waitresses had attitudes in every aspect & when called, they make sure to be rude!!!

BAD EXPERIENCE, ordered their small Chilpo Hamul Tang and paid $54.99. It wasn't WORTH IT AT ALLL!! Totally Waisted money. They put 3 over cooked half blue crabs, 3 medium size shrimps, 3 pieces of monk fish (looks like they used frozen fish because it taste too fishy. If you use fresh fish you do not taste that and there are literally NO squids nor Small Octopus (Usually this one of the ingredients. Just LOTS of BEAN SPROUTS AND NO WATER PARSLEY, hardly NO vegetables. Also want it to mentioned that I also ordered Sea Food Pancake (haemul pajeon $19.99) that were suppose to be made with majority of Green onion (pajeon meaning Green Onion pancakes) but they tried to save money by minimizing Green Onion and instead they put so much yellow onion and they even tried to save money by using cheaper ingredients by using small squid Instead of large Squids. Again they tried to save money on ingredients. I know everything these days are higher price but if your going to charge customer higher price on their food we atleast deserves to have the right ingredients. This place used to be the Best Sea Food Soup place but NOT anymore. I will not go back again. Please make a change and start making honest FOOD instead. We as consumer trust restaurants like this one to their good practice when we go and spends our hard earn money at their restaurants. Thank you.
