“ Hidden gem in Buena Park Korean homemade and soul food. They open early 7:00am and have soup specials for $11.99. Tried the rice and beef stew and dried pollack soup. All their food is delicious and they also offer catering. This place is a must try and they change their side dishes often which I appreciate. This place is my go to spot especially early in the morning. ”
“ I have yet to visit the place myself, but I've tried their food twice as my parents church catered from here. I've tried their kimbap and assorted mini Korean pancakes (jeon). The kimbap was good, I would suggest to always get the one with the burdock as it adds more flavor. My mom said their teokbokki was also very good. The mini jeons were all really good. I think these come out as part of side dishes at the restaurant versus being sold on its own when I skimmed through their menu. Just know their pancakes are good!:) I also tried their fried shrimp, which didn't taste too oily. Their menu seems to have a ton of options for Korean food lovers, so I do want to try their main menu items soon. ”
“ Traditional Korean early morning food with all the hearty broth based dishes that fills you up. Service was good and bathroom was clean. Hole in the wall. We got there at 9 AM and it got packed quickly. Food came out piping hot. Great variety. Few ban Chan. Portions were generous. ”
“ New owner new menu new taste Breakfast/lunch special $11.99 7-2 pm. They now offer catering too. ”
“ Best bossam I've had in the oc so far! I placed my order about 25 min before arriving and went I got there everything was all packed and ready to go! The women helping me with my Togo order were so nice and even included extra banchan in there for me. Love the service here! They give you everything you could ever want with bossam: lettuce, radish wraps, salted cabbage, seasoned radish, samjang, salted shrimp, raw garlic, raw jalapeños, soybean paste stew, different banchans, and rice. Perfect dinner on a hot summer day! ”
“ I love bossam so came here to try the Bossam And it was yummy indeed Very friendly ahjummas in quiet plaza It is squid game themed according to the name and colors. But a nice mom and pop food restaurant ”
“ I was craving Bossam and this place really hit the spot. My bf and I also got the Gamjatang, which was very flavorful. The workers were also kind and attentive. I will be coming back with more friends for sure. Plus, the squid game theme was cool. ”
“ Exactly what I was craving!!!! Absolutely excellent preparation and execution across the board! I'm so full and happy :) I also got Samgye-tang, of course. It's not pictured because it's allll mine Kkanbu is very close so delivery service was extremely fast and everything arrived piping hot and so fragrant! I have never had to complain or write a bad review for any Korean restaurants in Fullerton and I've been to them all. One really cannot beat the Korean food, culture, and energy that we have in Fullerton, CA. Love, love, love! ”
