I highly recommend this restaurant in the old town. The naengmyeon is really refreshing and all the banchan dishes are delicious. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! View all feedback.
What User doesn't like about Somunnan Korean:
The lunch experience at this restaurant feels like a one-man show, where orders are taken and food is served quickly at the counter. The Bibimbap was generous with meat and came with rice served in separate containers. I particularly enjoyed the miso soup and side dishes, and appreciated that they served water themselves. Unfortunately, they did not offer barley tea. The noodle bowls looked appetizing from what I obs... View all feedback.
My friend introduced me to this place, food was very delicious. All u can eat side dishes with Gamjatang which is a pork neck soup n bulgobi. Each one was very tasty, worth the self service we had to do. I am certainly going back.
Probably more 4.5 stars, but will round up until I can try them again and see how consistent they are. The good: Service is very friendly and helpful Self serve banchan bar love that you don’t have to wait, but it is hard not to fill up too much as they were all very good. Food food food! Cold noodles some great flavors and huge servings Galbi jim again, great broth and lots of lean meat Kalbi add as a combo and save some money. Delicious and much less fatty than many other places nearby Purple rice!!! Plenty of parking! No language barrier spoke perfect Korean and English. Some Spanish too from what I heard. Needs improvement: They ran out of the dish I went there for, which is the Jajangmyun, so that’s a bummer. Will try again. Parts of the self serve concept. Utensil box was empty at our table and they do expect that you take your dirty dishes back to the front. The place isn’t expensive, but not cheap either. I always get confused with how much to tip in places like this. Still tipped 18%, but not going over that for self serve like i would at full service places. Not a deal breaker, but food for thought.
I found this place because I was working in the area and looking for good Korean food. I was NOT disappointed! I tried their bibim naengmyeong, super flavorful! I didn’t have to add extra vinegar or mustard. Some places the cold broth is bland or flavorless but not here. They have a self serve banchan bar, highly recommend the fish cakes. Coming from Riverside County, my trip was well worth It.
I had better experience before. Today's order 우거지 갈비탕 was very disappointing. Only 1 meat on bone plus some slices of beef is NOT acceptable for given price. Soup was not exceptional at all to compensate such a small portion.
First try Korean cuisine from this restaurant. Very impressive. Taste great. :
