Si Gol Korean Restaurant

another favorite family-​run restaurant.
this place is basically known for their mudfish stew, stir-​fried squid, and pig trotters.
there aren’t too many places in the 15 – 20 mi radius that will fill your craving for these three yummy delicacies. if you don’t know how to eat any of these three, i highly advice you not to come here and just go to your fake american-​korean restaurants.
banchan is fresh and delicious. most of their veggies are from their garden and you can taste the quality of fresh ingredients.
service is great and food is definitely on point.

Mediocre meal in an unassuming location. Came here because a restaurant a few doors down was closed for Sunday. Even though we were hungry, we probably should have opted to check out a different restaurant.

Top quality korean food right here. The restaurant is kind of hidden so its not as busy as it should be. Kbbq quality is great

Si Gol Chueotang is a small hole in the wall Korean place with a small and affordable menu. I was greeted in Korean and luckily after living in Korea for a year I am no longer intimidated by this! If you aren’t familiar with korean food than this place is probably going to be an adventure for you, but they do have staples like bulgolgi and dumplings. My friend ordered the Chueotang which is what they are known for, he specifically wanted to try mudfish stew and was not dissapointed. I had the cold Kong guksu which is a creamy soy bean noodle soup. I loved their fresh kimchi and banchan (side dishes). They even had an eggplant dish, which is not common in most popular korean restaurants. We also ordered a plate of mandu (meat dumplings) they were fresh and delicious as well. I will definitely be back if my friend ever gets a craving for mud fish stew again.

My mom and my favorite place to go for hearty Korean. We love the choo err taang so much. Probably the best choo eer taang you can find in CA. My mom has a North Korean background and she says it taste just like how my grandma made it.
They also pick their own squashes and other veggies in their own garden. so so yummy!
How to eat the soup: put lots of vegetables and put lots of wild seseme grounded (I put a big spoonful) and very small amt of dried herbs. Enjoy with finely diced garlic and jalapeño.

A couple of days I had come to eat at Jangkumyine but they were so busy that even at 1 pm. they had a 30 minute wait so I decided to try out Si Gol Korean Restaurant which was a couple of doors away in the same strip mall. Upon entering Si Gol I found that it was about 40% full which I took as a good sign. Unlike Jangkumyine at Si Gol you have to order at the counter and then take a seat at an open table where your food will be delivered. This took a little bit of figuring out via sign language with the server/​runner which was cool as I’ve come to expect some amount of confusion when going to new Korean restaurants.
I think I got the mud fish stew which was around $ 8. Like all other Korean restaurants this is served with about 5 – 6 side dishes (banchan) and a bowl of rice. The stew lacked the intensity of soon dubu and turned out to be pretty mild yet off-​putting at the same time. I feel that the taste for this dish could be acquired if it is eaten a couple of times but is avoidable if you are easing into Korean food. The banchan were not even close to the quality of what you can expect in Jangkumyine. They were not bad, it’s just that the bar has been set so high by Jangkumyine that they fell short.
Overall I was satisfied with what I ate, but I’m not sure if I would come back as there are much better options available in the area.

1^st time here looking for more traditional korean food. The chu uh tang tasted really good. The side dishes were also good. Will definitely go back n try something else too.

This place is decent. I get the kings pig feet. Its good with beer and soju. The choo uh tang is an acquired taste. Not my cup of tea.

I came here with the recommendation of my parents and I loved it. The main attraction here is the «Chu Uh Tang» which is a soup made with grounded mudfish, apparently its very nutritious for you (lots of calcium or something). It was around $ 8 and a good size so you probably won’t finish all of it if you’re eating rice and the side dishes. As a Korean, I loved it but not sure I would recommend the soup to first timers (maybe google it before trying it)
Make sure you add the seasonings if you do try it (on the table in tin containers).
Also, had the pork bulgogi, it was good. Someone else ordered the «bean noodles» (translated from Korean) and I liked it but that dish is also something that might be disgusting to first timers. The broth is made with grounded beans.
All in all, its a good restaurant with good prices that has my picky Korean parents’ approval. Will come again.

I traditionally stay in my comfort zone for food. Mexican, American, Japanese. Tried Korean for the first time at this hole in the wall spot. Servers were very frienldy despite our language barrier. Ordered beef bulgogi. Delicious. Meat came on a sizzling pan, side of black beans/​rice an plenty of crisp vegetables. Great place to convince your Korean newbies to eat.

Wow love this place… I was there when it first open the food is great especially the dumplings it’s bomb … I go here every other weekend to get food here :) if u go I recommend u trying the dumplings :)

Great place. They grow all leafy veggies and hot peppers. Extremely nice.
We ordered choo-​er-​tang. (Not sure what its called in English.) so tasty! The owners also gave our children korean yogurt drinks. They were very helpful and kept checking if we or our children needed anything (plates, forks, extra rice etc.) would definitely go back once we are around!

It’s an ordinary korean restaurant with variety of food. The vegetables that came along on the side of our food was fresh, as well as the side dishes. The food (soup) that we ordered was $ 7.99, and it was really good. They have a fairly good customer service.

I’ve been meaning to try this place out for a while since I live right next to it and they seem to have a large clientele especially over the weekends. I only did take-​out so I’m not sure how service/​cleanliness/​etc is when dining in. But the prices are pretty good, take out was ready on time, the portions are big, and the food is very tasty.
I did notice that the place needed some touchups here and there so that it would look nice and feel comfortable to eat in but still in decent shape.
They accept credit cards. Be sure to have a designated korean speaker handy when calling in!

nice small restaurant with a very simple Korean food.
fast and freindly service.
home grown organic vegetables are a plus!
