⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very small mom and pop restaurant. Most dishes taste homemade and are delicious. The goat stew, soondae soup, gamjatang, and clam noodles were all good.

Small mom-and-pop Korean restaurant. Limited seating area.

I ordered Gamjatang- Pork Neck Bones and Potato Stew. The broth was very weak, not as rich as I would like. Very generous portion, very meaty but it was bland. It tasted like the bones and meat were not fresh, tasted old, and maybe frozen for a while. The banchans were not as tasty as I would like.

The old lady in the kitchen was nice, but one of the staff was too busy watching Korean drama.

For more a more traditional style of Korean food, can't go wrong here. The food is good and you can taste the seasoning but it's not over marinated. This is one place that actually specializes also in pig feet with different dishes and is quite good. This is a dish that is more towards the cold side also. Definitely recommend to try!

Soon dae as it is tastes a little too generic like ones from kmart store. But sauce and glassy noodles in the stir friend soon dae are tasty with hint of spicy.
Spicy pork potato stew meat is very tender and soup is rich.
Banchan was not as good as before.
Very friendly owners.

Amazing little Korean mom and pop shop in Gardena. The whole restaurant has maybe 4 tables, and when we got there for an early-ish lunch on Saturday, there were no other patrons. The auntie and uncle were very kind and brought us tea and banchan quickly, but the star of the show was the food. Delicious soup that came out quickly along with rice (choice of white or brown) and banchan. Portion sizes are huge!! Definitely get your money's worth here. The parking lot is pretty small and shared with a couple other restaurants. Heads up, the restaurant storefront signage is in Korean only. Will definitely be back to try some other soups!
