Jang Ga Nae - Rowland Heights

The food was excellent, but it was quite noisy. The atmosphere was filled with lively conversations from local Korean speakers, which just goes to show how popular it is among Koreans. I'm not sure if it was just the time I visited, but it took quite a while to receive service, and then it took some extra time to get the subsequent dishes.

I can't really explain how they manage their hours, as their lunch service is supposed to last until 3:00 PM, but when we arrived at 2:20 PM, the kitchen was already closed.

This restaurant is a hidden gem located in the same plaza as Family Hanmi Bank and Cham Soot Gol. The staff are incredibly friendly, but what truly stands out is the delicious food. My family has been coming here for birthday celebrations and gatherings since they opened in 2003. We recently visited again for some gambjatang, and it did not disappoint! I realized just how much I've missed this place. I ended up returning a second time in a very short period; my fiancé and I ordered naengmyun and both the broth and bibim versions were fantastic. One great feature is that the lunch combo on the menu is also available at dinner! My fiancé opted for bibim naengmyun with galbi, while I had the mul naengmyun. The food arrived super quickly, and the banchan was refreshed almost immediately after we finished them!

I ordered kartoffel pancakes and spicy pork bone onepot with kimchi(m.) the potato pancake was very thick, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. it was the most delicious potato pancake I've ever eaten. for the pork neck bone stew the meat was tender, plentiful and moderately spicy, very tasty. the beside dishes such as fish cake, agitated vegetables and kimchi were all delicious. the whole food was so good! I mean, trust me to try.

I love gamjatang normally but here it was just okay. I liked that the place was smaller but not loud. Did not enjoy finding a chicken foot at the bottom of my soup though.
