Kang Seo Restaurant

This place ended up being our second choice, as the restaurant we initially planned to visit was undergoing renovations on that scorching summer day. Adapting to the situation, we decided to try their marinated goat meat hot pot (보양전골), which turned out to be quite satisfactory. The hot pot came brimming with an ample amount of goat meat, including the goat skin. However, the dipping sauce for the meat was a tad overly sweet, and the selection of fresh vegetables was somewhat limited. The presentation of the hot pot was average, neither exceptional nor disappointing. On the service front, we received good attention. The waitress visited our table a few times to replenish our side dishes. Familiar with the culinary traditions, we took the liberty to transform the remaining goat meat into a rice-based porridge after enjoying the meat itself. The restaurant was bustling, situated between the peak hours of lunch and dinner. It's evident that the establishment has garnered a reputation and seems to have established a stable presence in the dining scene. Update on 10/9/2024 We ordered braised Hail Tail (갈치조림) which is very famous in this restaurant and 공등어구이 and 된장찌게 combo. It was quite good and service was outstanding and attentive.

This spot has become a go-to staple for me and my wife whenever we’re craving good, solid, and healthy Korean food. Despite its popularity and the inevitable busy atmosphere, the quality of both the food and service never falters. The dishes, including the banchan (side dishes), are consistently top-notch—always fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The friendly staff adds to the experience, checking in regularly to ensure we have everything we need, even during the busiest times. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Korean food. It’s a gem we’re happy to return to again and again.

Always love to dine in this place! The food is great and staffs are attentive. Kang seo has variety options for a vegetarian. Since it is in the shopping center, sometimes, it has limited parking spaces but not that hard to find any. Clean atmosphere and clean restroom. They alway try their best to provide best service to the customer. Every visit was full of satisfaction. *I will update if anything changes*

I've dined here several times; the first being pre-COVID with a couple of older Korean men. They taught me a few things about warm, delicious soup/broth. It's a very reliable Korean restaurant with lots of traditional options. Soups are amazing, but also the LA Galbi and Octopus Stir-fry.

Recommend this seolruntang place. They have all bone soups and other Korean dishes. However, they are apecialized in bone soups. Their tendons soup was in great shape and all good sized. Very busy reataurant and many Older Korean people come here because it is authentic. Must try if you are a local or in town. However, do not order haemulpachun (mixed seafood pancake), it is $18 but disappointed priduct. Other places might give you extra soup broth, but here they want you to order another bowl.
