The food at Gamja Gol is outstanding, with authentic flavors and well-balanced seasoning. The ingredients are fresh, and each dish is prepared with great care, bringing out rich aromas without being overwhelming. Their signature dishes are especially memorable, offering a comforting yet flavorful experience that leaves you wanting to come back for more.
came here several times to get gamjatang. one of the ultimate comfort foods in Korean cuisine. the portions are quite generous, and whether for just a night out with partner/spouse, or with a bigger group, would recommend to get some hearty comfort food.
Gamjatang was sooo flavorful and mouthwatering that I also had to try their sister restaurant in LA. Parking: They’re located in a very small plaza, so finding a spot can be difficult. We visited around 15:30, and got lucky with a spot. Ambiance/Environment: This spot is truly Korean. They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of seating. They weren’t as busy when we visited, but it started getting busier closer to dinner time. Service: I didn’t catch any of their names, but all the servers were attentive, quick, & efficient! They speak limited English, but they understand enough. Foods: 1) Gamja Tang - The portion size was LARGE! The soup was as flavorful as the gamja tang at their sister location. There were a generous amounts of meat and vegetable. 2) Vegetable Pancake - This tasted as expected. Its thinness and non-crunchiness made it stand out from other pancakes I’ve had. It was really soft, yet delicious. 3) Fried Rice - One of the servers offered fried rice. She packed the remaining gamja tang in a to-go bowl and took the pan away. When she came back with the pan, there was a thin layer of fried rice mixed in with the flavors of the soup! Yummm! 4) Banchan - I appreciate the amount of banchan they provide. If you want more of a specific side, simply ask. They didn’t provide purple rice, so I asked for some hehe. Pricing: Definitely worth it! Dishes can be shared between 2-3 people!
They’ve been dishing out authentic Korean food since 1994. Their gamjatang, or spicy pork bone soup, is an absolute must-try! The broth is super tasty without being too spicy, and the meat just falls off the bone. Plus, at the end of your meal, they use the leftover broth to make kimchi fried rice for you 🔥
Foods are great. ESPECIALLY the Gamja Tang as the large soup with ribs and potatoes. Remember to order and put ramen inside for the creamy taste. Pancake, grilled fish, Bibimbap are also good and worth a try. Might expected a long waiting time at weekends night due to the small area. The menu is hard to read while it's a little bit hard speaking English 🤔
I've been a loyal customer of Gamjagol for 22 yrs. The generous portions and good value have always kept me coming back, and I've consistently enjoyed my visits. However, during my recent visit on Saturday, I was quite disappointed. After finishing work, I brought two senior guests with me and ordered the small Gamjatang jeongol, as both guests were over 70 yrs old and wouldn't be able to eat much. When placing the order, the lady staff member responded in a very unfriendly manner likely because we ordered 2.5 portions instead of 3. Even after I poliety said "thank you" following the order, the server simply turned away without a word. Having worked as a waiter myself for 15 yrs, I understand that smaller orders can feel discouraging since the workliad is the same while sales and tips may be lower. But the attitude was disappointing nonethless. It truly felt as if the staff was questioning, "Is that all you're ordering?" Thank you, Gamjagol, for all the years of good meal but this experience left me quited disappointed. I'm also uploading a photo of the food. I'll let those reading my review decide whether this amount is really "too little" to warrant being treated that way, especially considering I was dining with two seniors over 70.
This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in modern times. On my first visit, a staff member (possibly the owner) aggressively confronted me over a rule that was never communicated: leftover bones must be placed in a specific container. There was no verbal explanation and no signage. Any reasonable customer would place bones near their bowl or plate. Instead of politely explaining, he publicly interrogated, mocked, and shamed me in front of my friends. His tone, facial expressions, and attitude were hostile, sarcastic, and demeaning. I was treated like a criminal for an innocent mistake. Basic standards of service were completely ignored: • If you have rules, inform customers in advance. • If a mistake happens, correct it respectfully. • Public humiliation and sarcasm toward customers are unacceptable. Despite this, I still left an 18% tip out of basic decency. That does not excuse the behavior. The experience felt like stepping back into an outdated, disrespectful era. Management seriously needs to address staff conduct and customer treatment. No one should be treated this way.
