Moobongri Soondae (무봉리 순대), San Gabriel

We had an excellent experience at Moobongri Soondae in San Gabriel! The food here is truly outstanding, and the service is exceptional—every staff member is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. Their house specialty, the soondae (Korean blood sausage), is a must-try. It’s rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, and you can tell they put real care into crafting each dish. Along with their specialty, they offer a great variety of classic Korean comfort foods—everything from hearty soups to sizzling stir-fries—and each one is delicious, generous in portion, and very reasonably priced. It’s the kind of food that keeps people coming back. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, with a clean, modern interior and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. They also have outdoor seating, which is a huge plus if you prefer some fresh air while dining. Even the washrooms are well-maintained, which says a lot about how much they care about their customers’ experience. And the free parking right in front of the establishment makes visiting incredibly convenient—no stress, just good food. We also requested a refill on our soup broth and ask for extra noodle and they did not charge us extra for that and we are grateful. They also top up our water whenever we are running low and they are always attentive to respond to our every need. Kudos guys for a job well done. If you’re looking for authentic Korean cuisine, great value, and warm hospitality, I highly recommend Moobongri Soondae. With their big portions, great prices, and consistently tasty dishes, it’s a wonderful place to dine whether you’re a first-timer or a regular. Definitely worth a visit!

This place is great! What is better than good food, good service with it! The servers were quite nice, even though they may sometimes forget certain things that may come with certain dishes, they were quick to help and get whatever we needed. We tried the bossam boiled pork, seafood pancake, bimbimbap, and seafood soon tofu. I didn't know if they had a pan fried Bossam, I swear I thought I saw another table order it. Quite pricey for the seafood pancake but it was quite good. The place is clean and there is plenty of seating. They have an underground parking lot shared with all the neighbor shops. I would definitely stop by again for some more Korean food! Until next time !

The broth is flavorful and not too salty (perfect if you like to season to taste). The seafood pancake is super crispy, and their pickles are addictive 😆 . Friendly staff, and we even got free samples on the way out.

I recently visited this Korean restaurant, and to my surprise, as a Latino, the staff spoke Spanish — which made the experience even better! I tried their $11.99 lunch special, and it was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive; they even let you know up front that the soup might need a little salt to suit your taste, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this place to our Hispanic community — you won’t be disappointed! Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

I didn’t expect to find such authentic Korean comfort food in San Gabriel! The soondae soup here is amazing — rich, hearty broth with tender meat and flavorful soondae. The portions are generous and the staff are super friendly. Definitely one of my new favorite spots for a cozy meal.

Visited Moobongri Soondae in San Gabriel for an authentic Korean meal. The Blood Sausage and Pork Platter was flavorful, with tender pork and perfectly cooked blood sausage. The Cold Noodles were refreshing with a tangy broth. Both the Pork Soup and Beef Bone Soup were rich and hearty. The Seafood Pancake was crispy and filled with fresh seafood. The Grilled Short Ribs were tender and juicy, with a sweet-savory glaze. Moobongri Soondae delivers a true taste of Korea—a must-try for Korean food lovers.

Great tasty Korean food. Their soup and Korean sausage is unique and good. Food took about 25 mins to come out. They serve your 4 different side dishes too, which you can request more for free. We order a combo and 1 extra dish, cost about $50. Plenty of food for two people. Overall a unique experience to try something different from the usual KBBQ.
