Good food considering that you are not in Ktown.

I think it's stupid that Yelp doesn't take characters (i.e. Korean or Chinese characters so we're all left to romanize dish names which gets all butchered). Whenever I'm craving sulrung tang (Korean beef soup with noodles), this place hits the spot. Not only is it just down the street from where I live, but it's actually really good. I've been coming here for over 10 years and the food has stayed consistently good. I honestly really haven't tried anything else besides for the sulrung tang though I do want to try their ggamjah tang (potato soup which is really mostly meat). The food isn't overly greasy and the soup is flavourful and not watered down. The radish kimchi is excellent here. One of the best in my opinion. My only real gripe is that they don't have brown/purple/healthy rice here as they only serve white rice which wasn't a big deal before until I decided to eat healthier. Their free dessert drink (sweet rice water) is so good here. Most other sulrung tang places usually give out the cinnamon flavored water which I don't like as much (probably because the sweet rice water reminds me of when I was in Korea younger). The food here will fill you up and many will not completely finish. Service is good but closer to closing time, they tend to be a bit rude (understandably since they're opened all day long) and it's usually the same lady that works the tables. Parking: Plenty on the lot Price: $8-$12 per person Wait: During rush hour can be 15-20 mins but afterwards, there isn't any

This is my go to place for sulungtang (beef bone soup) or ddarugokbab (spicy beef soup) if i'm craving something spicy.. They recently added donkatsu (fried pork cutlet) on their menu which is delicious. It comes with a sweet and savory sauce over it with a cabbage salad, macaroni salad, and peas and carrots on the side. The portions are HUGE(I guarantee you won't be disappointed). The best part of the meal is at the end when they give you a free refreshing cup of ssikhae (korean rice punch). My grandparents love going to this place and treating me and my sisters out. Everything is decently priced and this place has a very homely feel.

This is purely on service. The waitresses here are the very rude. If you do not speak old Korean style they will not serve you until they have finished serving speaking people first. With all the choices there are in area, you would think customer service would be a priority. Will be taking my business elsewhere.

I love sul-lung-tang! So good! Grew up on it. For those of you who don't know it's a simple broth and the kind of broth can vary but most common is a beef stock or it can also be made with ox bones as well. You can get two different kinds of noodles. Gook-soo which are thin flour based white noodles or dak-myun which are clear noodles (not sure exactly what they're made out of..buckwheat?) I really like gook soo! This is a very Korean place. The menus are in Korean and seems like the waitresses don't speak too much English, but I think maybe you can get by if you don't speak Korean...maybe...I do feel like the waitresses rush you a little bit. Wish they would slow down. I got suk-uh. The mixed kind. If I remember correctly, it has slices of beef, tripe, and liver (?). I'm sorry if I'm wrong, I wasn't really thinking, I was hungry. The nice thing about this soup is you add your own salt and green onions to it to adjust to your tastes. Feel free to add some kimchi liquid too for a spicy touch! Anywhoos, had a good time and some good food.

Okay, to start off, I must admit that their soel long tong soup is pretty good. But their menu is only in Korean, so be forewarned. BUT, not good enough to go back after arguing with the owner with how much noodle is provided. I can't believe the owner was willing to lose a longstanding customer over a half cup of noodles. UNBELIEVEABLE! At my last visit, it escalated to the point where I asked for my money back AFTER I returned to the restaurant because they had given me half a cup less in noodles. I had called them on the phone and then went back to the store. When I arrived back at the restaurant, the owner claimed that that is how much they usually give. But even after I explained that I normally got a full cup of noodles, not a half cup, he still claimed that I had been getting too much noodles. As a consolation he offered to give me a full cup to "keep me as a customer." I DON'T THINK SO! This place should be called Dang So Cheap or Dang So Jipped.

Reasons why I'm giving this place 2 stars: 1. I wasn't even close to finishing my food, when the waitress handed me my check and pretty much told to leave in a passive aggressive manner. -If I had to judge by the amount food left on my table, I would say I was closer to just getting started than almost finished with my food. --Took three bites from my rice bowl -- 3/4 of my soup was still remaining I just feel like the rude service was unnecessary. I was not rude, I asked for my water to be refilled ONCE, I was not obnoxious or anything! Granted, yes, I was there for about 45 minutes without having had inhaled my food all at once. But to be fair, --the grandpa who sat a table away from me walked in 10 minutes later than I did but got his side dishes and food before I even got my side dishes to start with. --And on top of that, they were not that busy and it's not like they had a line of people waiting to be seated. I could have understood if they were super busy or something, but heck--the restaurant had 4 other tables open!! --And I'm a slow eater. I'll admit to that. 2. The food was average. (I got the gam ja tang) It was not good enough to offset the rude service FOR SURE. --I feel like there are other Korean restaurants that have the same kind of bad service....but at least with REALLY good food. The Shikkae (sweet rice drink) was good though. Looked like it wasn't going to taste good, but surprisingly, it was almost better than the food. Would I go back for food? NOPE. Not worth it.

Wow. I found my #2 favorite su lung tang place. Han Bat Su Lung Tang is my no #1 su lung tang place. Jang Mo Gip Buena Park is my #2 place overall and #1 place for su lung tang in OC. The menu was fairly simple and written in Korean. Ask the worker for English menu. Su lung tang is their specialty but they do have other korean soups and even bibimbap. This place was crowded when I got there but I was seated right away. I didn't have to use too much salt and pepper to season my soup. My soup was creamy, delicious and satisfying. The noodle was good and my soup had generous amount of guts. Banchans were not bad either. Service was great. The worker checked on the customer regularly to make sure everything was okay. I went to this place because I didn't want to go to Tampopo next door. I was enjoying my soup when I realized Jayne L did tell me about this place for su lung tang. 4 stars!! I am a fan!! Jang Mo Gip is yummylicious!!!
(4)Nick H.
Do NOT order the bibimbap. It was not good. I tasted my friends Sulungtang and it was da shizzel bomb diggity. I also bumped into a colleague from work here. He lives no where near here and came for the soup. Great Su Lung Tang in the OC. No need to drive to Ktown for this one. Stick to what this place is known for. The hosts are warm and friendly. I felt right at home. I will be back just as soon as I can find someone to go with me. Su Lung Tang at Jang Mo Gip, Buena Park...another reason the OC is the best place to live.
(4)Jayne C.
It's a old school korean joint famous for their beef bone stew (sullong tang). I've been coming here since I was a kid and I love how it hasn't changed one bit. I highly recommend their gamjatang (translates to potato stew but there's more beef than potato in the stew).
(5)Robert L.
Hang over, you are over says I. Cause I found me a place where a tired liver-ed Korean-Korean man can go rejuvenate. Jang Mo Gip means Mother-in law's house. It symbolizes ultimate hospitality.. but your image may vary. Jang mo Gip is also probably one of the most common name used for meat / bone stock themed Korean eatery. Jang mo gip sells beef bone stock soups of different variations. Selection of boiled meats and tendons. Chicken soup using chicken bone stock. I ordered tendon soup. One of the more expensive soups weighing in at $9 and change. The stock was white in color without and hint of burnt taste(good sign) meaning that the bones were gently boiled for long time to draw out as much marrow (flavor) as possible. The tendons were cooked just right where the collagen coated my mouth (that lip smacking goodness you get eating ribs) and soft tender texture with little bit of firmness. Served with two different kimchi and pickled seaweed... It definitely hit the spot. Service was very Korean and food came out lighting fast. Happy eating - R

It's was the worst Tta Ro Kook Bap I had. The soup was blend. It appear they just added noodle and bean sprouts in the water. The soup had no taste and was terrible. I barely ate it. I finished my meal eating rice and kim chee I will not go back for a while until I forget the memory of how bad the soup was.
(1)Timothy K.
If you grew up eating traditional Korean food and have a motherland palate like a straight up Ahjussi (middle-aged man), then this place is the right fix. It's nothing fancy. Pretty simple and straightforward with banchan (side dishes) that synergize well with the different types of soup-based main dishes. Again, it's nothing to write home about, just a very quick sit-in-on-a-rainy-day type of place that gets the job done.
(4)Tiffany C.
Found a TOOTHPICK in my sulungtang. It was from a togo order. So ridiculous. NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN. They claimed it was because it was freshly made or whatever. Doesnt even make sense. I dont recommend this place. I threw away everything.
(1)Maria S.
We've been here a few times and really like it. I think the soup base of the duk mandu soup is really good. Believe me, I've had duk mandu for a long time, the soup is not always tasty, it's often watery, but not here....it's very delicious. We've also had the bibimbap and a few other things on the menu, it's pretty good! Still looking for other good places around this area...until then, this will be our place to go!
(4)Coby J.
I walked in with 3 of my friends and was greeted in a friendly manner. I said I'm not eating, just my friends and the waitress gave me the dirtiest look. I just smiled and she went to the back. Brought only two waters and still gives me this weird look. I just kept smiling. Guess my smile was making things worse and she then proceeded to throw the side dishes on the table and walked away. She finally brought out the food and was never seen again until she brought out the check (without the complementary traditional Korean dessert). Never going back.
(1)KeepitReal C.
Best sullung tang in this area! And it's only $8! I grew up in this neighborhood and they have been the only sulong tang restaurant around that has been up for all these years. Best meal after a long night of drinking.
(5)Arnold W.
Excellent service. They start you off of iced tea that's oh so refreshing. This place is legit, they only have 3 banchan. I had the bimbimbop, it was quickly made to order. So feeling, and looked really good too. They serve it with a delicious broth/soup, I love soup!
(4)Annie K.
Classic Korean Gook-bap... Had the Sul-lung-tang and it was yummy (: Along with the banchan... Tastes like home esp since my mom can't cook for me while im in college!! :(
(4)J.Anne Y.
Sullung Tang: Hot bowl of soup with meat and noodles. Topped off with green onions and salt. Delicious! Advice: Don't hesitate to ask for a few minutes if you don't know what you want yet. They tend to ask you to order as soon as you sit down. Advice: "Gook soo" = white noodles & "Dahk myun" = clear vermicelli noodles. I prefer the "gook soo" in my sullung tang.
(4)Gina K.
best sullung tang place in oc. their chicken kalgoogsoo & ddaroo gook bap is awesome too!!!
(5)Mic S.
never tried anything but sulluntang and ddarogook bap sullungtang is good but nothing spectacular, but the ddarogook bap, there's nowhere else like this place. so so good. ddarogook bap is a must try
(4)Aleyna L.
I JUST LOVE eating hot soup!! This is my favorite place whenever i'm craving korean food, or when i'm cold or sick just like Ashley blow said! I ordered Spicy potato soup once and it was okay, i've tasted better but it's still good when you want something different than Sul lung tang.. For me, i take out all the intestines and all from the soup but i never really tell the waitress to take those out because soup actually tastes better with those inside. But after few minutes i take it all out and only eat thin meats. So far, sul lung tang and the spicy potato soup are all i've tried and it's good! By the way, good service and good price! :D
(5)Maxine H.
Jang Mo Jip is always perfect for cold rainy so cal days. It's a chain so you can find one in any cities Koreatown. The food is simple. A bowl of rice and suhl lung tang (oxtail soup) and the occasional assortment of kimchis. I don't know what it is about it, but its just really comforting. There isn't much to do the soup at all. It doesn't have healing elements, or any other voodoo mumbo jumbo. It's just plain old simple oxtail soup. The soup itself comes with, well the soup, slices of beef, and noodles (your choice of glass or rice). Then you can add your own fixin's, chopped green onions, salt for taste, and or ddah dehgi (chili paste). Once your done mixing up your own concoction, mix all the rice in the soup and dig in.
(4)Khundaga K.
.. following my gps I got there but then, it was not super easy to find, it's in a smaller seperate unit of the shopping center. So I took a picture from outside and posted it here, to make it easier for others.. it bacame the first photo of this place on yelp.. soup was good. the dumpling plate was not worth it.. I think Young-Dong down the street is better than this one..
(3)Sarah K.
Great place to eat during a rainy/gloomy day. They are very generous with their servings. It's great whether you dine in or take out. I've come to depend on this place when all the family members are too tired to cook. I always get the sul-lung-tang () and a plate of dumplings (). For a family of 4, each getting their own dish, it should come about $37 ~ $40 or so. Of course, it depends on what you get but I'm assuming everyone is going here for their . I see quite a bit of people come in by themselves such as business men during lunch. It's an atmosphere that I wouldn't mind coming alone too.
(4)Julia C.
This was our go-to sul lung tang place for the past few years. I usually get the sul lung tang or ddah roh gook bap (slightly spicy red soup with vegetables and some meat) and my kids. They used to give sheek keh (sweet Korean rice drink) after the meal but they recently stopped!!! I swear it was half the reason I went to this place. FYI (like most other places like this) they have MSG in the soups (we asked). I would have given it 3 stars because of this but almost all sul lung tang places do the same.
(4)Ra K.
Good korean restaurant. I feel like their food has "home-made" flavor to it and has good portion for what you pay. I love their sulungtang and all the other warm soups they have! Service is good but only bad thing is they don't have naengmyun but like their soybean noodles! :)
(4)Rosemary Y.
Dogani tang is yummy. Small place, not so great service (typical of a korean restaurant) but food is good.
(4)Jerry C.
This place was good, I was originally headed to Yoko with my family, but it was too full so we decided to come to this place. Overall the food was good as well as the service. Definitely recommend the sul lung tang from this place. Would definitely go again if I'm in the area
(4)Diane K.
This was my second time eating there and I felt discriminated. My friend and I got there and no one acknowledged us for the longest time; mind you it's a hole in the wall joint ok... Finally get seated ON OUR OWN, in the meantime another group (korean peeps) walks in and gets seated and served banchan right away, get the drift? I thought that was really strange. It's sad because their food is good but the people who run the joint spoils it.
(1)Cindy A.
This was almost like a hole in the wall. Its a little hard to find unless your looking for it. This restaurant serves really yummy Auhentic Korean noodle soap. The only down side is that the Menu is only in Korean. The seaweed and Kim chi was very good. I'd definitely come back and probably just point to a number in the menu and hopefully I ordered correctly. Its better if you had a real Korean friend with you.
(4)Funny M.
I like the dumpling dishes here, WAY better than one at Garden Grove.
(5)John L.
This sul lung tang place is good. What's even better is that it was walking distance, like throw a football distance from my abode so i can walk there and run back and the food still hot in time to watch football and bball games... It's often crowded during peak times thus the to go. I must say, its one of the best suh long tang in northern oc and most of l.a.... Price is normal, service is korean style so if u no speakie engrish then hahaha to u. but it's good. Next door is a flip restaurant and that tastes like SHIT... (sorry pare's)...
(3)Sam K.
I would give it 10 stars if there is this option to it!
(5)Helen C.
We ordered: -SU LUNG TANG- it was good. I actually like Yong Dong much better bc their kimchee is soo much better. For me I base a SU LUNG TANG place on their kimchee. -CHICKEN KALKOOKSU- Surprisingly enough, their chicken kalkooksu is REALLY good. Again, it would've been so much better with good kimchee.
(3)Troy H.
The spoon. What is it with the damn spoon??? Came here with a friend to ck out the soluntang. It was definitely worth it! Still burpin up the garlic from the kimchi10 hrs later! The soup itself was full of meat. Great deal. The broth was delish. Rich n full of flavor. Almost as good as Jang Mo Jip in GG, but it Gip gives more meat! The panchan was limited, but of good quality! The kimchi was damn good. Radish kimchi was some of the best I've had. The seaweed with kochujang was tasty. No beer/wine, which is a downfall. Next time I want to try the dumplings. Ask for a english menu. I didn't see one. Luckily my friend reads Korean! I still don't understand the spoon thing!!! The spoon is tiny, probably holds around a 1/2 tbsp of soup. WTF? It takes forever to eat. Next time, I'm gonna bring one of those curved Chinese soup spoons so I can go to town n chow down! And I might even order a 2nd bowl!!!!!!
(4)Chris N.
Good food
(4)Mr M.
I need to go back...
(4)Rach C.
I love their sul-long-tang. but I love their chicken kal-gook-soo even more. Even though this place is known for sul-long-tang , try chicken kalgooksoo. Lots of shredded chicken in it and the soup is not greasy at all. Grreat place to go especially during cold weather.
(4)Caroline L.
This is the Go To and To Go place for Sollungtang (korean beef marrow/bone soup with thin slices of beef and tendon and tripe). I say this because i've never eaten IN THE Restaurant, but my family orders it to go all the time, without fail. ESPECIALLy when someone in the family is sick with a cold. Notice i write a lot of reviews about foods that are good for you when you're sick, cuz u always want something hot and tasty and healthy when you're sick, and frankly colds/flu's have been going AROUND! They give big portions, we can probably order two soups and 3 people can eat this for dinner, then breakfast and lunch the next day. We usually order it Sohkkoh (which means mixed, and includes the beef, tripe, tendons), but u can order it just w the sliced beef too. They package everything up for you, including their great rice, kinda sticky and plump the way i like it, clear noodles, two types of kimchi which are delicious! especially the kaktugi (spelling?) which is the square crunchy cut radish kimchi. the long, cabbagey kimchi (baechu kimchi), i suggest cutting w/ scissors before eating but u can just bite it...., sea salt, green onions... EVERYTHING u need. just get a large bowl and put some green onions and clear noodles, ladle some soup with meat/tendons/tripe, add sea salt and black pepper to taste, and then some rice, eat with kimchis and it is a very excellent, tasty, Healthy meal!
(4)Shin B.
If you enjoy Korean food, you must try this place. They are famous for their sulung tang but their gook bab is even better. And during summer, their specialty: kong guksoo. If you're a sulung tang lover, just bring your pot for take out, they will fill it up for you. Never seen that before. One more. They give you Shikhe for desert. It is so good, people just come by to buy their homemade shikhe. I love this place.

I was in the mood for a hot bowl of gamjatang (spicy pork bone soup). So we headed down the street to Jang Mo Gip. AND, for the second time I left disappointed and somewhat angry. If I've had a bad experience at a restaurant, I don't post any reviews until I go a second time. I don't want to give a premature review because I don't want to base my opinion on just one visit. But after today's bad experience, I now know that my first opinion was correct. The service is TERRIBLE!!!. When we walked in the door, no one acknowledged us. The servers just went about their business, totally ignoring us. It took awhile for us to be seated. After being seated, three other tables were seated right away and were served the usual banchan. We sat there waiting for a long while to be served. We were ready to walk out. Finally we got our banchan. And to make it worse, those other three tables that arrived after us were all served their meals before us! I was starting to feel like we weren't welcome and they were just being passive aggressive because we weren't Korean. Extremely rude behavior. It was pretty much the same experience as the last one. As far as the food goes, the gamjatang was watered down and bland. The pork bone tasted like it was boiled, frozen, and then defrosted. I make better gamjatang, and I'm not even Korean! I was extremely dissapointed. Our server did not even crack a smile. I noticed all the other servers were the same way. This place must not be a pleasant place to work, because all the employees looked like pissed off zombies. I love Korean food but hate bad attitudes. There are hundreds of Korean restaurants in this area that appreciate our business. Sadly Jang Mo Gip isn't one of those. I love yelp because it gives the customer an opportunity to rate restaurants based on their experience. It helps to warn other potential customers so they can avoid these places. In this economy, it isn't very smart to annoy your customers, because news of bad food and service spreads fast and will potentially ruin your restaurant. I would rather give my hard earned money to a restaurant that appreciates each and every customer that walks through their door. Sorry Jang Mo Jip (mispelled on purpose). You don't deserve our money.

After being pampered at Charlie Kang, I wanted something soupy and yummy to warm my inside too. We researched on yelp and found this restaurant nearby, and yeahhh for yelp! It's a small place but when we walked in we knew it's an authentic one because everyone was Korean. We couldn't speak the language (oh how we wish we could) though we look Korean so it was hilarious when they kept speaking Korean to us but we couldn't respond. Anyways, we sat down and had to ask for an English menu (the one on the table was in Korean.) We ordered the ox knee and tendon and dumpling with rice cakes and were both mouth-watering even just writing about them... I loved how you could add salt and green onions to your own taste. The ox knee and tendons were so tender and chewy that I felt my skin tighten as I eat them (they have a lot of gelatin which makes you prettttyyyy~) ;) The dumpling with rice cakes was delicious, too. Judging from the fact that hubby finished it so fast that I was not even half way through mine, yes, it was good. The service was friendly and efficient. Oh and they served chilled barley drink at the end to cool you off-i loved it! And the price was very reasonable for any Korean place. Hubby and I spent less than twenty bucks (include tip) and I had some take-home. They don't include tips on your credit card charge...so do bring some cash with you. It was overall a good experience, took off one star because having the soups alone was a little bit dull. We wished there was some korean bbq pork...we just missed our large pieces of meats...
(4)Olivia C.
yummmmm, soo good! Ive been coming here for years, it is excellent on coldy gloomy days! I do not speak any Korean at all so it is a little difficult to order sometimes, I usually just know which number I get. They do have an English menu, but the translation doesnt convey how delicious each dish is! Today I had the chicken kalgooksoo-HUGE stainless steel mixing bowl filled with shredded chicken, hand cut noodles and couple of pieces of mushroom. I swear my stomach is still trying to digest that enormous amount!! I usually get the tendon soup #7-dagonytong, yummy pieces of tendon in a very rich broth, soooo good! I always get it with rice noodles. #3, i have no idea what its called, spicy beef broth with large chunks of brisket and clear noodles and veggies. I usually see almost everybody order this around lunchtime! My friend usually orders just the sullungtong, she usually drinks all the soup right away and asks for an extra small bowl of soup, free of charge! Order the barley rice instead, delicious!! Plus I love their kimchi, I always eat the whole plate by myself, it is non-fermented and the seasoning is perfect!! Not too spicy, not too salty. Highly recommended!
(4)AJ K.
This place has had it's ups and downs. It was good in the beginning, then the kitchen staff changed and the quality went downhill. However, the kitchen lady has returned and all is well in sul lung tang land again :o) My family orders from here all the time. Sul lung tang broth is a "soup of cow bones and meat, simmered for several hours in a jumbo Korean iron pot until the soup is milky-white." And from what I can tell the broth looks and tastes genuine. (The real stuff tends to solidify when cold, whereas the fake broth is more liquidy. This solidified broth is the culmination of hours of simmering which extracts the essence of beef bone, for a lack of a better description.)* They let you pick sal go gi (meat only) or suk uh (mixed), and dang myun (clear potato noodles) or gook soo (white rice noodles). I also ask for dipping sauce (soy sauce w/ hot mustard or wasabi, other places it's soy sauce with jalapenos) for my meat, yummm. Their kimchi is the unripened kind, not my favorite, but it is often served with sul lung tang. However, the ggak du gi has the perfect crunch, spice, and ripeness. The dda roh gook bap (daily soup and rice) is OK. It's the usual spicy beef soup with bean sprouts, radish, and green onions but a little on the bland side. I like mine hot and flavorful, perfect for clearing the hangover haze hehe. They also have other items, sometimes seasonal, like: kong gook su (noodles in bean soup), yul moo bi bim bap (radish stalk kim chi and rice), or san che bi bim bap (mountain vegetables over rice) which comes with a dwen jang soup that's really good. It is a small place with about 10 small tables. Although it gets crowded, many are to-go/pick up orders. The most I've ever waited was about 5-10 mins, not too bad. * This is just my opinion, I could be totally wrong. But I'd like to think that it is still true, like the Tooth Fairy.
(4)Jazzlyn Q.
.legit, original sulungtang no one can copy. why this place last long when new ones keep opening and closing in this neighborhood??? what do you think?
(5)James K.
I really like this place. I'm not really a Korean food eater, but this place has one of the best soup bases by far. Almost like how mom makes. =) You can ask for regular noodles, or those clear white rubbery ones. If you dont like chewing, dont get that. Also, the wifey recommends this place to all of her friends. How can you really go wrong? ^_~
(4)Connie C.
The best side dishes especially the Kimchi. Everything is good here. Customer service is friendly as well!
(5)Bora K.
I used to eat the food from here at least once a week. My parents used to always bring back Suhl Lung Tang for me after church and I would dutifully eat it because that's what you do when people are considerate enough to bring you food. If the take-out food isn't always good, there are probably numerous factors to consider. Sometimes the food isn't hot anymore. Eating at home opposed to eating in a restaurant is a completely different experience and perhaps the lack of a restaurant atmosphere is making your food not taste so great. However, I've been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and I'm not really missing out as far as decor and service. So it must be the food. The food must not be so good. The Suhl Lung Tang is very very watered down. It doesn't even taste like beef broth. It just tastes like milky hot water. That's my biggest complaint. Everything else is OK, although the meat in the soup could be heartier. A lot of times it's so very thinly shredded it feels like you're getting the dregs at the bottom. They have a Kong Gooksoo (Cold noodles in a blended bean broth) in the summer that seems to be popular but I'm not a big fan of Kong Gooksoo so I'm not the best judge. I would say for Suhl Lung Tang, try Young Dong Restuarant down Beach Blvd. for a better experience.
(3)yo m.
Although I prefer Young Dong for the hot soups, Jangmo Jibs hot soups are ok too. However, what REALLY stands out for me is in the summer time when they have their "yulmoo bori bibimbap" and "kong gooksoo". For a few bucks you can get a very refreshing and satisfying meal on a hot summer day. If you order one or the other, you get a mini side of the yulmoo bap or kong gooksoo, which is PERFECT for indecisive folks like me! yulmoo or kong? mool nengmyun or bibimnengmyun? jjampong or jjajang? JUST GIVE US BOTH like Jangmo!!!! A+++

Don't be fooled by same name place in Garden Grove. They have no relationship whatsoever. It's edible..but compared with real Jang Mo Jip in GG ? Not even close.

i guess moms know the best. she called us (again my sister and bf) and made us to drive in illegal speed so we could all go eat sullungtang at jang mo gip. i didn't think sullungtang was worth a speeding ticket and 8 hrs of traffic school, but o boy, it was quite worth it!!! hands down, the best sullungtang place in o.c. (also one in garden grove and cerritos, probably the same owner too). well, i did NOT order sullungtang despite my mom's recommendation, but had bibimbap, and i regret this big time. after a numerous threats, my bf reluctantly gave up his bowl of sullungtang to me, and i am sure he regret this big time (i gave him my bibimbap, so a fair trade in my opinion). there were only 3 banchans, and the service was non-existent since it got really crowded. i give 5 stars for giving me a valuable life lesson; don't order bibimbap at jang mo gip just as you would never order seafood at ruth chris. p.s. - jang mo means mother-in-law and gip (sometimes spelled jip, zip) means house.

This is a very good example of a Korean fast/slow-food restaurant. The food they serve would take hours to prepare at home and if you are lucky enough to have someone make it for you at home you probably have no reason to like this place but for those of us who's moms are far and away it is a decent substitute. There's nothing fancy about this place, the menu is on the wall (only in Korean, I think), three types of ban chan, course salt and green onion slices on the table. Some people have noted that the soup here is a bit watered down, I actually prefer it this way. The really concentrated beef broth taste a little too gross for me, like drinking gummy heavy cream or something. I always get the suh lung tang or gam ja tang, both soups but very different and I like them both equally. Sometimes I have a really hard time deciding which one to get, it's like Sophie's choice! I think I eat here at least once every two weeks when I'm feeling tired or too lazy to cook: its close by, cheap, hearty and good. Really hits the spot.

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.
(5)Michael K.
think it means "mother-in-laws house" either way, it tastes like proper korean home cooking.
(5)Hyun Jung L.
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.

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.

Clean and good food. It's decent. I wish they give more sunji/blood cake in my HaeJangGook...keep on forgetting to ask!!! Although I have to add, don't expect to get the same quality from Korea. Don't know why but all restaurants that make sunji don't make it right. It's too spongy. It isn't smooth when you bite down. The banchan/side dishes are good. It's simple here. You pick a gook that you want, and they don't try to spiff it up and be creative. It's the old fashioned hardy Korean food. It's been here since I can remember. So obviously they know what they're doing!

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.

Good hearty korean breakfast. Love it! Pretty straightforward sul lung tang place. The order took about 2 minutes to come out and it was delicious. The service was good
(5)Geeyoung L.
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.

I have been coming here for years but went last Sunday and right when I walked in, the staffers just looked like they were at a funeral. I mean I know Koreans in general aren't always the happiest folks when it comes to greeting patrons at restaurants but man, did they look like someone passed away, either that or they might be North Korean? Even still, N. Koreans are happy because they love Kim Jong Un and revere him as a god. But I digress... I don't know exactly what was going on in their lives but really its none of my business. When someone passes away, denial sets in and people feel empty due to that person passing in their lives. Signs and symptoms of complicated grief can include: -Extreme focus on the loss and reminders of the loved one -Intense longing or pining for the deceased -Problems accepting the death -Numbness or detachment -Preoccupation with your sorrow -Bitterness about your loss -Inability to enjoy life -Depression or deep sadness -Trouble carrying out normal routines -Withdrawing from social activities -Feeling that life holds no meaning or purpose -Irritability or agitation -Lack of trust in others Despite the funeral dirge, the food was pretty good. If you do not mind being served by people who are in mourning over their dead loved ones... but love sulungtang, then definitely check this place out!
(3)Shirley K.
My aunt, mom, cousin, and I came here for breakfast before my cousin and I headed to magic mountain. The food was actually pretty good! I got the cold buckwheat noodles with water kimchi soup and my mom got the spicy beef soup () with bean sprouts I think. After I ate mine, I ate some of my mom's and it was so good! It made me wish I got that instead! If I come back, I definitely will order that next time!

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.

It's a great place for Korean comfort food like sulungtang. If you haven't tried it, you should. This is my favorite place in Buena Park by far.
(5)Dona H.
High turnover = fresh soups and ban chan.
(5)James L.
My favorite sulung tang and kaktogi in one place.. I almost always take it out but still so good for home eating.. you can even pass it off and say you ade it from scratch to impress someone!!
(5)Stella M.
This is the place if you are craving some Sul Lung Tang or Dah Ro Gook Bap! It's really good! Perfect especially if you're hung over and you're craving some Korean soup! Service is always good here whenever I come. No complaints!
(4)John P.
The service at this place suck wind. Unless your an old fart, don't expect any service, even if your there first... I was so disgusted had to walk out.
(1)Kristina Y.
This is my comfort food place. My favorite is the dogani-tang, which is ox knee or ox knuckle or whatever. The kimchi is on point too, with plenty of garlic to sauce. They also have non-spicy yukejang, which I never knew about until I came here. With a good amount of ooguhji (long cabbage) and plenty of kongnamul (beansprouts), i'm a happy camper.
(3)jay p.
Seriously???? They just deep the blue plastic scoop in to boiling hot soup!!! I don't know how much bad stuff from plastic will mix with the soup............ May be it taste good because of plastic?!?!
(1)Sandy K.
I must have driven by this place hundreds of times. Came in for dinner during the week after some errands. Parking is convenient due to it's located in a large strip center. The cooking here is so tasty and I'd say all of their clients were Korean with many orders to go. This place is a hole in the wall with only 9 tables. Ordered the Sul lung Tang and flavored my soup to my liking with the bowl of salt and freshly chopped scallions on each table. Next up the Bibimbop - generous portion, simple and seasoned perfectly. Service here was on the spot and friendly and they accept visa and MasterCard. When I'm craving home cooked Korean food at reasonable prices I'll remember this place for sure.
(4)Dan P.
Pretty good sullungtang and kaktugi. Heals the seoul! ;p
(5)Hanz L.
Good authentic korean foods with a nice quiet ambiance. I would have to say though, that I am not really a fan of most of the food, although I would certainly come back for the oxtail soup sullungtang at some point. Good clean taste and they can get it to you on the go quickly as well.
(4)Frank S.
Eh... to me, the sullungtang is just average. Not as good as the restaurant with the same name in Garden Grove and about the same as the one in Rowland Heights. Haven't been to the La Palma location. I'm not sure if they're actually related despite sharing the same business name... The soup could be a little bit more rich and not as watery. It's has the opposite problem of the sullungtang at Han Yang on Orangethorpe which has a broth that's too rich and creamy. PS - It should be Jang Mo "Jip" instead of "Gip" like the other locations...
(3)Bobo L.
Everytime I come here with my brother, we get the worst, crappy service. We don't get our food until everyone else AFTER us gets their's just because we are korean teenagers. Then when I come with an adult, their facial expressions and service changes into a more kinder hue. I believe that is so wrong and biased service. I wouldn't ever go here again.
(1)Randoll C.
As I experience more Korean dishes, I am beginning to embrace my feelings as it pertains to Korean food. I guess it was bound to happen as I moved to a place smack in the middle of the Korean community of Garden Grove. I really like Korean food. Saturday night, after a long day of terrorizing students on the motorcycle range, I wanted something hot and spicy. Also wanting to check off some of my Yelp bookmarks, I decided to try, Jang Mo Gip. Simple menu - makes it easy to choose and IMO, allows restaurants to perfect their dishes. That's how I felt as I was enjoying my Spicy Pork Neck Bone with Potato soup. When the dish is only $8.82 - for me, that's a bonus. The dish is listed as spicy and it will be to those sensitive to the heat. There's lots of meat if you don't mind getting in and picking the bones apart and or sucking the meat right off of them. Which is what I did. It didn't bother me if other diners were looking as I figure, I'm paying for it - why not eat it and enjoy it. Which is what I did. Excellent service even with the language barrier as I don't speak or read Korean (English menu helped big time). Refills on the cold tea and water came like there was a hose attached. Needed extra napkins would appear as it was noticeable how I had no apprehensions about getting my hands dirty, so to speak. To simply put it - Great food, great prices and great service!

Jang mo gip is a place I go to when (a) I'm sick (b) it's freaking cold or (c) i'm HUNGOVER usually it's because of c lol I always get 1 out of 4 soups: sul lung tang, hae jang guk, daro guk bap, or gamja tang 1. Sul lung tang: beef bone soup w/ noodles (you can pick either clear or white noodles) and you can get it w/ beef, tripe or combo. i always get the beef with white noodles and I always add the ggak dugi (radish kimchi) sauce in it w a lot of green onions 2. Hae jang guk (which literally translates to hangover soup lol): it's a yummy clear broth that's a bit spicy w/ a lot of cabbage, beef, and you can get the blood (EW not for me! but a lot of people like it) this one is yummy usually when I'm hungover or I get this...it's not as heavy as the sul lung tang and it's a bit spicy which I like 3. Daro guk bap: idk what the translation is but it's yummy and spicy! a clear broth with a kick and it has cabbage, radish, and meat w/ noodles! this is usually what I get because it has noodles and the veggies...and it's AMAZING when you're sick and hungover 4. Gamja tang: I always get this when I'm ordering to-go because it takes about 10-15 minutes to make and when I'm in the mood for gamja tang I cannot wait! lol it's pork neck soup w/ potatoes...yea I know doesn't sound appetizing, but it is! The pork meat is super tender and the potatoes are cooked to perfection. This soup is amazing when the weather is cold, but it is super heavy...it's a lot of food. the banchan is simple yet delicious the kimchi and ggak dugi are the best I've had in any other Korean restaurant (the jangmo jip in la palma is amazing as well). The service is good, but remember these people want you to order, eat, and leave bc it's usually packed so they're not being rude...it's just how they do things. Definitely check it out and get one of my 4 favorite items :D
(4)Christine C.
Best sullung tang in oc. Ive been coming here for over 20 years now and it hasn't changed. Just sad they don't have the their rice drink for dessert anymore.
(4)Andrew K.
This location is small and the menu does not have nearly the variety of dishes like the Jangmo Jip in La Palma: no pork ssam (lettuce wrap) dishes and samgyetang (chicken and ginseng soup). You, however, can expect the same quality seolleongtang (Korean beef brisket soup), fresh kimchi and good service here that people come to expect from the other Jangmo Jip chain restaurants. In addition to seolleongtang, their other popular soups or stews include dduk mandu guk (rice cake and dumpling soup) and gamjatang (pork neck bone and potato stew). The dduk mandu guk is another good option if you want a good hearty non-spicy meal. If you prefer something spicy, their gamjatang is savory, peppery and you get a sizable portion of meat and potatoes. The pork is tender and the large potato slices are firm but cooked all the way through. If you like meaty soups and stews, then neck bones and oxtail are the ideal parts. The cartilage, bone and tendons in these cuts give you a richly flavored stock, thick soup texture and extremely tender meat.
(4)Tiffany C.
I think I went in with greater expectations. From what I've heard is, this place is very famous for their Sullungtang, which is what I ordered. But it's actually...just basic soupbase, noodles, and very minimal amount of beef slices. You're supposed to add the salt and scallions by yourself (which is fine since I don't like a lot of salt in my food) I was disappointed becuase I think I expected more to be in the soup. Side dishes: there's only 3 kinds. If you don't like kimchi like I do, then it's only seaweed for you. I mean, it's a home-style kind of restaurant which is cute, but i think it's also overhyped.

Today I went to try this Korean Restaurant Jang Mo Gip for early lunch. When I walked inside the restaurant helping myself getting seated, and then I was looking at the wall and there was so many Korean Language sign. I didn't have any clue what it means and there wasn't NO English letters below the Korean sign. But the other hand there was a menu has English and you could order in the Manu. Anyway, I order this Beef soup white combination meat (Sul Lung Tang) Tongue, Liver, Tripe, meat. Kim Che, Spicy beets and sea weeds. The soup didn't have any season added inside the soup I order was plane. The soup wasn't that great and the white rice was very soggy and didn't taste to will. I was disappointed.
(1)Sam K.
I hope this place never closes. I need their gamjatang to live! Sad that they got rid of shikhae. I would pay additional dollar for it!
