Flavorful Soups at H-Mart Food Court
My experience at this food court spot was fantastic, especially for anyone craving Korean soup! Located inside H-Mart, it offered a great variety of soups, including pork gukbap and soondae guk, which are hard to find elsewhere. The service was very friendly; you order and pay, then wait for a beeper to find a table.
The food was exceptional. The Pork Gukbap was a 5/5, boasting incredible flavor depth and tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork. You can even season it to your liking.
The Spicy Soondae Guk was also a 5/5, a flavor bomb that was just the right amount of spicy, with a decent amount of meat and soondae. The Soondae & Pork Sampler Plate was a bit of a letdown at 3/5, with overcooked soondae and mixed quality pork, some tender and some dry. Overall, the soups definitely won me over!

Spicy Soondae Combo - Great Early Bite!
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially for an early meal. I tried the Spicy Soondae Combo and it had a good taste. The restaurant opens early, which is a plus.
A small suggestion for future visitors: bring your own water bottle. Otherwise, you'll need to buy one for $1 or serve yourself. Overall, a satisfying experience with delicious food.

Absolutely Delicious Korean Soup!
If I could give 6/5 stars, I would! The service and food were absolutely awesome. I always order the number 9, which is the beef back rib soup (갈비탕), and I add tendon to it.
It is worth the extra cost every time! A must-visit spot for people who like Korean soups!

Excellent Service Turns Disappointment Around
I visited the restaurant again today after a previous issue with my takeout order. The owner sincerely apologized for the mistake, clearly explained what had happened, and handled the situation very professionally. They were incredibly kind and immediately prepared the same dish we had ordered before (of course, free of charge!).
I had been quite disappointed before, but their thoughtful response completely changed my impression. It really showed that they care about their customers and are willing to correct and improve when something goes wrong. I’m very satisfied with the food this time and will definitely come back again.
Thank you for the great service!

Missing essentials for my Sundae set
I ordered the Sundae set online. Everything else was fine—packaging was neat, and the food looked good. But they didn’t include chopsticks or a spoon, and they also left out the spicy paste, salted shrimp, and salt.
Are you kidding me? Am I supposed to eat the soup without the paste or salt, and the sundae without any seasoning, using my hands? Completely unacceptable.

Flavorful Pork Soup, Generous Portions
My experience at this restaurant was great, largely thanks to a recommendation from a Korean friend. I ordered the pork soup, which was incredibly flavorful. It came with plenty of pork, onions, and noodles, all swimming in a yummy broth.
The portion size was very generous; I even took half of it home for dinner. The staff were friendly, and I would definitely go back to try other dishes.

Soondae Gookbap in SD
My experience at this restaurant was centered around trying their soondae gookbap. I found the dish to be not bad. Given the limited options for this specific dish in San Diego, it was a notable find.

Clean and Flavorful Korean Hot Pot Delivery
I had a great experience with this restaurant through Uber Eats. I ordered both the sundae-guk and galbi-tang. The broth for both dishes was remarkably clean and tasty.
Each soup was priced around $20 and came with a generous amount of meat, leaving me feeling very full. While the sundae pieces were a bit small, I was satisfied considering it's in the U. S.
The accompanying kimchi was also sweet and delicious. The basic condiments provided were sufficient, and the delivery arrived on time without any issues. Although I haven't dined in, the food court-style setup seems good for a quick meal, though it can be a bit noisy.

Flavorful Beef Backbone Soup
My experience at the restaurant was quite enjoyable, particularly the beef back bone soup with glass noodles, which was recommended by the cashier. The soup itself was flavorful, and the meat had the perfect texture – not too soft and not too chewy. While the price was a bit high compared to other food court options, the cashier was nice and the service was quick.
I would definitely come back to try other dishes.

Hearty and Delicious Spicy Pork Soup
My experience at this restaurant, located inside a HMART food court, was decent. I ordered the spicy pork soup and found it to be hearty and delicious for the cost. The meal was filling, accompanied by a small selection of banchan, which included two types of kimchi and rice.
However, I felt the dish was lacking something I couldn't quite pinpoint, leaving me wanting more after the meal. Despite the great taste, there was an indefinable element missing.
