This restaurant is said to be a branch from Korea, and the interior definitely feels authentically Korean. It’s very clean, and the walls are filled with photos of Korean celebrities, so it really seems like a place that’s also popular in Korea. The side dishes were delicious too—especially the potatoes. The seasoning was so good that we asked for extra several times! For the main dish, we ordered their signature pork bone soup. The broth was rich and flavorful, and you can adjust the spice level if you want it spicy. All the ingredients were very fresh. The pork bones were cooked until the meat was super tender, and the portions were huge—more than enough for two people. We couldn’t finish it and ended up taking the rest home. It was very satisfying. The staff helped with cooking and explained the dishes, making the whole dining experience really pleasant. Overall, it’s definitely worth a try! Great flavor, generous portions, and a must-visit spot for anyone who loves pork bone soup.

The broth had a deep, rich flavor, and the meat was cooked really well super tender and fell right off the bone. We added rice cakes instead of getting fried rice, and they were great. The service was also really good. They refilled the broth quickly, so we were able to enjoy even more. Overall, delicious gamjatang and friendly service. I definitely recommend it.

Despite having high expectations for the flavor, particularly the ox broth soup, the dish was disappointing. The Bulgogi is pretty good 👍

Appreciate the sweet service by the staff tonight. We are regulars here and the staff today was exceptionally considerate - he’d bring over more napkins (we have a toddler), and check if we wanted more side dishes BEFORE we asked 🥹 In the end, he packed up our leftover gamjatang FOR US! Forgot to ask for his name but thank you, young Asian male server!

Hot soup is generlly nice. Such a nice option for those who love Korean style tang menu. However, tonkatsu is not a good choice on the menu of Gamjatang place. It tastes a bit overcooked. They did kindly provide the new one, but it tasted slightly overcooked again. Maybe the oil was the problem. Anyway, I highly recommend this place for Gamjatang.
