I walked in around 12:30pm on Sunday. I was seated in about 5 minutes. There's a bell that you can ring to get the server's attention. They responded very quickly. I ordered gukbap and it was very flavorful and rich. Surprisingly, banchan was also very good. Often times Korean restaurants make their banchan too sweet or too bland. But here all the food was very satisfying. I am very picky about Korean food, but I highly recommend this place. Staff were nice and food came out relatively fast.

Good restaurant with great service. They gave variety of bonchon and their kimchi was bomb. Always came here for oxtail soup. Best comfort food for rainy day.

Yelp find. It was close to the hotel that I was staying at and it was cold and rainy and soup sounded good. It is in a shopping center with a Japanese market and other restaurants. They have a nice menu with various kinds of soups and combos. I went with the beef bone soup. The soup was bland as most of the beef bone soups I've had but they give you salt and green onions so you can season to taste. Once I put some salt it was great. The pieces of brisket were tender. Yum.

Been wanting to try this place for a while and picked a cold day to get some hot soup. It was good but not as great as I had hoped. Menu is limited for what most would consider affordable options. Pay attention to not accidentally order something that would lead to a surprise bill because my partner pointed out what I almost ordered. Highly recommend the naengmyeon if you like cold spicy noodles

Spicy Braised short ribs is delicious especially with the added cheese. A little bit pricey but definitely worth it for us.

We love Woomiok for their authenticity and atmosphere it's a great place for traditional stews and their banchon is fantastic too. Definitely someplace to check out if you're in the area
they are known for the spicy braised short rib in stone pot with cheese. fantastic and short rib melts in your mouth and marinated over night in vegetable stew. everything is made from scratch.

Came here for lunch with a girlfriend a few weeks ago and everything was SO good!! From the food to the service, we will definitely be back. The restaurant was very clean and our server was super friendly and helpful. There was no wait for lunch on a Thursday but it seems like they get pretty busy for dinner. They are located in a shopping center with tons of parking but as I said earlier, they probably get busy in the evening. I ordered the spam and kimchi with cheese in a hot stone bowl and my friend had bulgogi over rice in a hot stone bowl. Both were very good. The perfect umami flavors mixed with the hot rice that gets a little crispy at the bottom!! Totally hit the spot.

came here for their seolleongtang and it didn't disappoint! my first seolleongtang experience was with SND in Ktown, so I had pretty high standards and Woomiok did not disappoint. the restaurant was very clean and open, and the service was quick and attentive. our food was delivered to our table within 15 minutes of us ordering, which was very impressive. their banchan is definitely one of their strengths, and we particularly enjoyed the japchae and cubed radish. we ordered the #2 seolleongtang and the tofu bibimbap (hot stone). of course, they provided self serve green onions and sea salt to add to the seolleongtang, along with sauces for both dishes. we were all impressed with the freshness and quality of the food - we will be back for sure!

Came in at 7pm and was seated within 15 minutes. Our order was taken within another 5 minutes of being seated & our food came out less than 10 minutes later. The waitress warned my companion that the pot is really hot & that he needed scissors and the extra bowl to cut up his entire chicken. Overall, the food is good and the banchan is fresh! Customer service is excellent! Cons: they don't give you a jug of water to refill on your own right away, so you'd have to ask for it if they don't offer it.
