감자골 감자탕 부에나팍 (Gamjagol Gamjatang Buena Park)

This place is in a little strip mall, parking lot is on the smaller side, and there is a dance school, so just be a little patient, but trust me, it's worth it. Inside it was one of those comfortable small restaurants, ya know, the kind where you know you're going to get that good comfort food? Service was great, they were friendly, and even made sure that all our banchan and tea was filled. Oh, tea, that was such a great complement to the meal. It's earthy, and just bursting with flavor, no mods needed. First we ordered the Gam Ja Tang, which is the spicy pork bone soup with potatoes. This had that perfect amount of kick. The meat was so tender and amazing, then I had a potato which was just amazing together with the pork and the broth. Add a little of the sauce it comes with, *chef's kiss* Next thing up was the Maeun Sam Gyub Bulgogi, spicy pan-fried pork belly, oh my goodness, that was just so good. Getting that with a little bit of rice and maybe some of the banchan, bursting with flavor. I could go back just for this. Last thing was the Yi Meon Soo, pan fried atka mackerel. I love me some good mackerel, it was that perfect pan fry, and the butterfly on it was so great. I love me a good mackerel, and this was no exception. Overall this place is wonderful and if you love a good place for Korean Comfort food, I do highly recommend this spot.

Gamjagol Gamjatang in Buena Park is a gem for authentic Korean cuisine! We tried the lunch specials and ordered the pan-fried mackerel – perfectly crispy and flavorful, the bold cheonggukjang stew with its deep fermented richness, refreshing mug-sa-bal (acorn jelly cold noodles with kimchi), and the crispy yachaejeon vegetable pancake that was pure comfort. Everything tasted homemade and true to Korean flavors, with generous portions and great value. Service was friendly and quick. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Korean home-style cooking!

We had dinner here last week. The parking lot is small but we had no trouble finding parking. The restaurant itself is quaint but charming. We ordered several dishes. The bachan is delicious and they will keep refilling it. The cucumber and daikon kimchi were my favorites. We ordered the pan-fried mackerel. It was light, flaky and perfectly cooked. Next, the spicy pork belly bulgolgi was amazing. Not too spicy and the pork belly literally melted in my mouth. We also got a gam ja tang. The spicy pork bone soup was so delicious. The broth is addicting and I couldn't stop drinking it. The pork on the bones was falling right off. The service was warm and friendly. The comfort food is perfect all year round.

This place is amazing and authentic Korean spicy beef soup calls Gamjatang 👍 love it. Thanks to my Korean friends who took me here. Will go back again for sure. 👍

Awesome!! We tried 감자전골 and 야채전 👍 Staff was nice and very kind. If you want real 감자전골 in Korean style, I highly recommended!!

The side dishes were delicious, and the owner and staff were all friendly. If you're craving Korean food, I highly recommend this place!

If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food, Gamjagol is the place to be! We indulged in their signature Gamjatang—​a hearty pork bone soup with tender meat that falls off the bone, rich broth, and perfectly cooked potatoes. We also enjoyed the Bossam, which are pork slices boiled in a flavorful brine to perfection and served with cabbage. The combination of the tenderness of the meat and strong flavors was delightful! The generous portions and authentic flavors combined with the amazing service truly made our dining experience memorable. If you’re in the Buena Park area, don’t miss out on this cozy hidden gem!​
