“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!”
Korean • $$
“It's a simple but very satisfying restaurant! As the name suggests, the main dish is a combination of rice and soup, and the gentle seasoning that brings out the flavors of the ingredients is appealing. We especially recommend the soup rice, which has plenty of ingredients and is perfectly balanced and nutritious. It's filling, but not heavy, and it leaves you feeling warm and warm even after you've finished eating. The inside of the restaurant is clean and has a calm atmosphere, so it's perfect for when you want to have a quick meal by yourself. This is a restaurant that can be recommended for those who are health conscious! Please try it!”

“I brought my sister here for her Bachelorette weekend. We booked the secret room for the evening. We decorated the room, lit some candles, and then one of the hot servers turned out to be the manager, and we had to blow out the candles. They did, however, try to keep our vibe going and brought over some electric candles ✨️
Staff is pretty here, they're all friendly. Bathrooms are interestingly decorated. Boys bathroom has only one room.
The food is WOW. We had steak tartare as a starter, super yum. The French onion soup isn't good. The bourguignon is AMAZING (don't expect it to have noodles). The chicken crepe 😍 The escargot was also delicious. All of the sweets we had were very good - both crème brûle flavors were incredible.
Decor was so cool & very witchy. I recommend having a witch themed-attire to really amp up the energy.
The drinks were creative and tasty. I drank Cerridwen's drink. I didn't realize I loved cherry until then. Their long islands are dangerous ! So watch out.
At some point in the night, Alyssa (our waitress) ran up to tell us that a tarot reader was there. He made the night very interesting and magical.
We made friends in the bathroom, sat down with others at the bar, made more acquaintances, and all the while staff was so much fun and brought the vibe. They made this one of the most memorable nights.
At the end, our responsible friend ushered us outside where we came face-to-face with the manager who had us blow our candles out. We challenged him to a battle... a dance-off. I don't know how many of us did it, but honestly it was ridiculous and amazing. When our Uber arrived, he ensured we were getting in the right vehicle and safe.
The whole night was amazing and we loved how involved/fun the staff was. The whole night felt playful like we were all already friends with everyone there.
Highly recommend. ✨️”

“Genuine Japanese Ramen with rich Miso taste. No other ramen shops serve this taste and only one in SoCal. It’s worth to spend your time to go to this place if you are Ramen Lover! Now they start serving Shio-Ramen (Clear Salt base soup) with Truffle oil flavor. This one is very good, too!”

“This is a place I often visit. The broth is truly delicious. It's prepared with fresh ingredients, and the sundae is beautifully plated. The kimchi is exceptionally delicious, and I love the variety of side dishes. The best part is the hospitality. I always feel delighted when I visit. When the owner is kind to his guests, everyone respects each other and enjoys the meal.”
Sushi • $$
“Food here was pretty good. Portions were quite large and not the typical Izakaya size. We got the Korean fried chicken which was really tasty. The crispy rice was ok. The regular size yakitori skewers gave quite generous portions. The decor inside is very nice.”

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)”

“The food here is delicious! Simply put.
I also like how there isn't a need for waiters here. They have a tablet at each table where you place an order of the items you want and they bring it to you (and rather quickly too). You don't pay on the tablet so it's more like your adding requests for items you want in real time and they bring it to you.
It's nice and peaceful inside and it made it easy to relax as I ate a meal by myself.”

Korean • $$
“If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food, Gamjagol is the place to be! We indulged in their signature Gamjatang—a hearty pork bone soup with tender meat that falls off the bone, rich broth, and perfectly cooked potatoes.
We also enjoyed the Bossam, which are pork slices boiled in a flavorful brine to perfection and served with cabbage. The combination of the tenderness of the meat and strong flavors was delightful!
The generous portions and authentic flavors combined with the amazing service truly made our dining experience memorable. If you’re in the Buena Park area, don’t miss out on this cozy hidden gem!”

Breakfast • $
“it was a Sunday morning and before getting there before stepping inside, we could see that there was a line. We came to find out how long the wait would be the attendant said it would be 510 minutes. It ended up being more like an hour for a party of two. very disappointed at the fact that they said five or 10 minutes but it’s understandable food here is better than average, and the service is the best part. They are very friendly and took care of everything quickly. Besides the wait time everything else was better than average. I do recommend this place when they do not have a line. The location is small and it seems like often times it’s always overpacked. This is a four star location. In my opinion I will eat here again if I don’t have to wait so long.”
Fast Food • $
“Just left this location. Staff is great service is good. Even when they have an ignorant as customer demanding them to have their stuff ready the instant it’s ordered &when it’s not the customer wants to negotiate getting more than what they paid. The staff definitely has patience.”

Coffee Roasteries
“(Translated by Google) It is coffee that the boss, who is a coffee taster, carefully selects green beans from each production region, and delivers them with love and maturity with freshly roasted beans. This is a cafe you can trust.(Original)커피 감별사이신 사장님이 생두를 각 산지애서 선별해서, 항상 신선하게 로스팅한 원두로 사랑과 장성 가득담아 정성스레하 내려주시는 커피입니다. 믿고 마시는 카페예요.”

Hot Dogs • $
“The prices are very affordable, making it a great option for a full meal. It was packed with people—especially lots of kids—so it can get a bit loud while waiting. Despite how busy it was, the staff stayed friendly instead of being snappy, which I really appreciated. I ordered four hot dogs and ended up waiting about 20 minutes to order and another 15 minutes after that, but honestly, they were well worth the wait. 👍🏻”
Korean • $
“Hidden gem in Buena Park.
One of the best Korean beef bone broth soup in town. Price is reasonable ($16.55) and all the side dishes tasted homemade. It gets very busy during lunch hour. Service was excellent.
Parking is free is the shared parking lot.
Highly recommend.”
American • $
“My party cost about $80+ between the 5 of us, and it was well worth it. I personally ordered their chili omelet, and when I say I couldn't finish it because of the big portions, I mean it, I'm a big person, I can eat A LOT, and I couldn't finish it all. 10/10 on atmosphere, flavor, and portion size”

“Man, after a long, exhausting day at Knott's Berry Farm, Pho QT was a lifesaver. It was exactly the comfort food we were craving. The people there were so awesome—super friendly and accommodating from the minute we walked in. They were even able to make a smaller bowl of pho just for my son, which was perfect.
We got the Pho Dac Biet and the Pho Suon Bo, and both were delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meat was tender. Was it the best pho I ever had? No, but my family enjoyed it.”

We ordered 3 combos, and people of all ages really enjoyed them!”

Everyone LOVES it! Freshly made to order, with what I call their secret red sauce. I do not usually like red sauce, but I love theirs.
Great family owned business, with excellent personal service.”

“VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT THEY ONLY OFFER THREE ASSORTMENT OF VEGGIES (BROCCOLI, CABBAGE, CARROT) FOR THE VEGGIE PHO. IT WOULD BE IDEAL AND EXCELLENT IF IT CAME WITH MUSHROOM AND BOK CHOY. ALSO, DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY DON'T OFFER VEGGIE SPRING NOR VEGGIE EGG ROLLS (GROUND TOFU WOULD BE NICE). OTHER THAN THAT EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AMBIENCE.”

“I visited on Saturday, May 17, 2025, just after 5 PM to buy donuts. I was disappointed that my favorite flavor was sold out, but the young employee’s warm smile and kind service convinced me to buy other donuts. The girl wearing a hat, who looked like a student, greeted every customer with a smile, which was wonderful to see. If the owner reads this, that employee deserves a raise!”

Chicken • $$
“Customer service sub par, waiter seemed too distracted and was not too attentive. Food was brought out all at once, famous fried chicken dinner was ok, ordered white meat but it really lacked flavor. Chicken and dumplings were better. Boysenberry lemonade was too tart, not sweet enough. Had to ask for silverware and napkins twice, there was none at our table. I had to get up at one point and get my table napkins and knives. Was not offered refill for my drink. just not the level of service I expected.”
