Jangmo Jip Restaurant - La Palma, California

Solid Korean soup spot that I’ve been going to for the last 20 years. The kimchi is solid and they serve the Korean rice punch at the end of the meal.

When I think of a small mom n pop shop, Jang Mo Jip is the definition of it! This is my first time here, and I was immediately impressed by the food here. This hole in the wall shop offers a smaller selection of food with it specializing more in soup-and-rice dishes. Honestly, I appreciate a smaller menu because to me it means they hone in on perfecting their dishes and it prevents decision fatigue for the indecisive customer (like me).

We had to try the bossam because I was craving it very badly! I love eating boiled pork belly topped with kimchi, garlic, jalapeno and ssamjang sauce and then wrapped in lettuce It's so good! And the Sam Kye Tang was even more satisfying with it's rich and thick chicken broth flavor It melted in my mouth alongside with the purple rice we got. They also provided complimentary sides (aka banchan) which is why I love eating out at Korean restaurants because of their fermented veggies.

Everything about this mom n pop shop were good. The only 2 cons I had was that they do NOT let you take leftover side dishes (kimchi, radish & seaweed). Not sure why this policy exist but makes me sad that these sides gets thrown to the trash if you do not finish them during your meal there. And the menu had obscured prices so I didn't know how much they cost until they bought out the receipt.

Love everything about this place. The food is always great, but also the ladies taking the orders have always been so welcoming and accommodating.

Simple hardy Korean comfort food. It's great for when you are sick, on a hot day don't feel like cooking, fill your soul with good food. This is it! I've been coming here since 17 years old. My dad brought me here recovering from flu to re-energize. Still good 40 years now with same good prompt service and quick food delivered piping hot to your table. Now I come here just with my husband or with my grown kids for good seullungtang. I recommend it.

Don't know what some of these low reviews are on but this place was great. It's a restaurant known for their seolleongtang, an authentic oxbone based soup. They cook the bones for hours until the broth becomes milky white and rich and top it with meat and noodles. The table will have a jar of salt and a jar of green onions so that each person could season their own dish (this is normal in Korea) and each meal is provided with side dishes (approximately four, again normal for seolleongtang) and healthy purple rice (this is high quality and more expensive than your standard white rice). I don't normally eat Korean food outside of my home because most restaurants disappoint me but this one deserved five stars. Would come again the next time I am in Cali.

The process of making food is so ~ dirty. Now that I know, I can't eat it. I used to eat it several times a month. I want to throw it all up.

Best wholesome Korean food you can get. They've been consistently amazing for about the two decades that I've been coming to get food from here. Their dine-in is wonderful and they package their take-outs very securely. I'll never stop coming here when I need comfort food. <3
