"Nestled into the Source in Buena Park, Gangnam House takes a more sleek and swanky approach to Korean barbeque, hence its name that recalls one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Seoul. The restaurant serves prime-grade meat and dry-aged beef for the most flavor, with customers most frequently ordering the bone-in short rib. The best deals, however, can be found with their barbecue combos— cleverly named after the biggest districts within Gangnam — and come with various cuts of beef and pork, a stew, and brisket fried rice to end meals on a high note." - Cathy Park

It was a nice peaceful lunch celebrating my birthday and father's day. It was not busy so we were able to enjoy the food.

Conveniently located in The Source, Gangnam House can be found on the 3rd floor (rooftop). Location was very spacious and clean. We were pleasantly surprised to see that you can enjoy both KBBQ and homestyle Korean food all at one place. We had some delicious brisket (server grilled for us), beef tartare bibimbap, LA galbi, and of course a steamed egg for good measure 🥚 Our servers were very friendly and attentive in making sure the meat wasn’t burnt. Overall, we had a lovely meal and would come back again!

Gangnam House is a great spot in Orange County for Korean BBQ. The atmosphere is clean and chic. And the service is friendly and prompt. You'll be given tools to cook your own meat. However, if you are not inclined to cook yourself, your server will cook the meat for you. This will free you up to focus on just eating. The cuts of meat are very good and do have a premium feel. They also keep your sidedishes replenished. I recommend.

Food was okay, just like regular kbbq.. but the service was actually terrible, and the servers were very rude. We actually found a piece of plastic in our sauce, and when we asked for it to be swapped, they took it in and didn’t bring another one, until we had to ask 2 more times. we ordered the combo b, which comes with 3 rice, they didn’t give it to us until we asked about it, which they responded with “oh you want it right now..?” (we were in the middle of our meal btw). they gave us 2 spoons for 4 people, and when we asked for 2 more, they said ok and didn’t bring it. we asked 4 different servers for a spoon. we were not given one until our 5th time asking. They told us to not grill the meat ourselves, but when they put the meat on the grill, they left for long periods of time, making it impossible to eat without us grilling. Why would you tell us to not touch the tongs and stuff when ygs are also not gonna do it for us? I also want to add that they never gave us the banchan until the middle of our meal, when we asked about it. food was fine, but terrible experience.

The premium short rib is really really delicious. Highly recommend! The bbq meat also has a great quality. The only thing is there wasn't enough staff working there on weekday, so the service is a bit slow.

Parking structure 4A is closest to the restaurant. The dry-aged prime ribeye wasn’t worth $58.99. The marinated bone-in short rib was delicious and our toddler liked it a lot. We got complimentary seaweed soup which our toddler liked as well. I personally liked the side dishes that went well with the meat. Their service needs improvements. Compared to other KBBQ places like Kanghodong and Quarters, they don’t have servers being responsible for certain tables. It’s hard to get the servers attention cause they are so busy.

CLEAN KBBQ SPOT IN SOURCE OC MALL⭐️ came here during lunch and was seated right away! went with their gangnam style beef special combo for $39.99 (included brisket, ribeye, bulgogi, along with a variety of other sides and soups) they offered so many side dishes - i kept getting refills! my favorite was the hearty galbitang which came with a big piece of meat! the bibimbap is also a must try!! i love their interior! super clean work spacious seating. perfect for big groups as well~ the service was amazing and the workers were so accommodating

My family and I met here for dinner tonight to celebrate our father's bday since we couldn't meet at our parent's graves we met for dinner. We have been here quite a few times. My Dad's step son used to work here a couple years ago too. It's a nice restaurant it's always busy, the food quality is really good. You can cook in front of you or ask them to cook in the back, which is what we did tonight. There were 8 of us for dinner so we ordered 2 orders of Bulgogi and Beef Brisket. They give you a good amount of banchan too for side dishes. We also ordered Kimchi-jjigae my sister and I shared that, it's our lifelong favorite growing up. A lot of seating in here, but sometimes it gets totally filled up. Our server's name was Kaitlyn, she was really nice. She was her server the last time we came here as well. I just didn't take pictures the last time we came. She's really sweet and got everything we asked for thank you so much, she actually overheard our conversation about my sister and her kids telling us their story about their experience in the fires and how terrifying it was, she felt so bad, asked if we needed anything else she was just really empathetic and kind thank you so very much. It was pretty empty so they were able to hear our conversation easily which we didn't mind. It was really nice of her to ask if we were all OK. What my family went through and what everybody has into during the fires is truly devastating and heartbreaking so our heart goes out to everyone affected by the fires. All the employees here are friendly. It wasn't very busy tonight so we got seated right away. It's very nice restaurant. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you haven't already. The food is delicious they are pretty quick with getting you everything you need. My one only thing I wish the barley tea was hotter, everything else amazing! Thank you so much for our delicious meal, and excellent customer service. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha

I'm both amazed and thankful that they accepted a reservation for our party of 20! We were all watching a 7:30 pm movie at CGV Cinemas on the opposite end of the Source and had enough time to order and eat at a comfortable pace with our 5 pm reservation. They seated us in four tables of 5 next to each other and allowed us to split bills as each table did a group order, with no extra automatic gratuity tacked on. Friend and I wanted to try several things, so we split the cold buckwheat noodles, seafood pancake, and galbi. I forgot to ask if they can cook the pancake extra crispy, but it was still good nevertheless. All the food we ordered were yummy. Definitely nice to be able to split with a friend to try more items! Parking is very easy in the structure for the Source.

Gangnum house has good quality food and it hit the spot when me and my friends went. The pork belly kimchi stew was a good choice especially with egg and rice. Server Kevin was fun to talk to and ensured us of our needs, definitely made gangnum house rememberable.

Great service, and super clean and nice setup. Banchan includes kimchi, pickled cucumber, japchae, mashed potato, bean sprouts, rice paper, and pickled radish. + Happy Combo ($33.99/pp): includes brisket, ribeye, and marinated bulgogi. Comes with kimchi stew or steamed egg. Egg was fluffy, stew was deliciously sour. Brisket was our fave, cooked crispy. Ribeye was pretty thin, but very tender. Bulgogi was standard. Liked that they also throw in some oyster mushrooms, onions, and tteok!

This place was clean and the food portions were quite huge! I loved my galbitang. It was so clean and the broth had a deep flavor to it. Usually the beef pieces are also quite hard to chew, but these were sooo soft. I'd highly recommend getting this meal! The service is also quick, and they offer all the things you need!

2 person beef combo. Beef was good quality. Banchan was good. Just need to ask server to put on meat slower because they are so fast.

A la carte KBBQ meat at the source not AYCE Kbbq in the OC source structure. Located on the top floor. Interior is so spacious and there are plenty of dining seats. If you're in the mood for quality kbbq meat but don't want to feel too stuffed, best place to come. Service was fast and attentive. At the end you also get to choose your ice cream bar!

Jenny L.

Yelp
Happy combo is $33.99 for brisket, ribeye, bulgogi and a steamed egg or soup. WHAT A STEAL!! The meat quality is decent and the sides are delicious. I came with 4 people and we were so full by the end of the meal. They seemed a bit understaffed... but shoutout to our server Brian youre the best :)

I LOVE this place. First, the service is super friendly and helpful. I've been here a couple of times and every time they have been really kind, helpful and attentive. Second, the food is really good. The flavors are all really nice and everything tastes fresh. The portions are worth every penny and I love the depth and complexity of overlapping taste. The ambiance is a mix of Korean bbq house which are usually big and Smokey, but also of a cleaner higher end restaurant. The tables are clean and it's all pretty comfortable yet simple. Overall I love this place. I do wish they would but an over easy egg on the bibimbap, but I can live with the fact that the didn't. Until next time!

Vivian H.

Yelp
Nice ambiance with great food and services. The server really honest. I ordered a lot and she offered cutting down as she said we wouldn't finish'em. Turning out, it's so true. We have 5 persons. And we only ordered the combo 3-4 with another beef tongue. Definitely we will back!

This is my second time here. My first time was mediocre as the food and service didn't impress me. I think it was because it was a busy Saturday night. But this second time around, I came during lunch hours and the service was much better! Friendly staff as well! Before coming here, I saw on Yelp that they did "half" meat portions for Korean bbq, but they no longer do that. So I had to opt in to ordering "full" size meat plates. I got the beef tongue ($35) and marinated beef ($29) and two rice ($1.5 per bowl). My bill came out to be $71 + the tips. I really enjoyed the meats as Kbbq is my favorite. The servers were also so kind and friendly as they would be attentive and helped us cook the meats! This restaurant is also big and spacious but it does get crowded during their peak hours

Yelp
This place isn't all you can eat, but if you bring friends and order one of the combos, it's more than enough food for everyone, and a perfectly reasonable price if you all chip in. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the kimchi stew is one of my favorites!

Rey D.

The meat here is tender and juicy, if feels like the meat is somewhat not a meat but a marsmallow, yeah because it is too tender, I think you can eat it with your lips, you do t need a teeth lol.

This has fast become one of our fave KBBQ spots. We came here for the first time years ago when they first opened and it was okay. We thought at the time they were overpriced for what you get. However, NOW it's a different story. They have great options, especially their combinations. You get so much with your order and everything tastes great. The marinades are all good and everything cooks so well. The staff and their service is on point and they are very attentive. We highly recommend this spot!

Steven M.

Yelp
This place is hard to describe unless you've been to Korea and eaten in a bar. This is setup like those Korean joints where business men and friends go to drink and have a little food with their booze We got a combo plate of meats that were DELICIOUS! But not marinated like most Korean meats. The sides were awesome and tasted handmade so if you grab your steak with some kimchi and lettuce and a sliced radish you'll have your "Korean taco"...IYKYK Service is almost too good! Everyone that walks by stop to turn the meat on your grill. Anyway, super helpful and very attentive! I would definitely return but in my mind I would think of it more like a steak house ... and maybe this time order some soju! Enjoy

We visited this kkbq spot for the first time with my family and friends on a Sunday evening around 5pm. We had a party of 9 without any reservations. They do take reservations and highly recommended during their peak hours. This was located at The Source in Buena Park on the 3rd floor towards the end of their food court. When we arrived it was not that busy, which was great because we didn't want to wait. The customer was great and the waitress was so sweet and attentive. Since it was our first time there, she recommended the preset menu B and C for our large group. It was just about right! This is not AYCE KKBQ! It was a bit pricey for the amount of meat you get, but the quality of meat was great. Their banchan they offered were pretty good too!

So you're at the Source- deciding which KBB option to have lunch or dinner at..... M KBB? Or Gangnam House.... Can't decide? Don't let the lines and the Yelp review stars fool you. I've had both options, on multiple occasions, lunch and dinner. Price is similar, food quality.... My opinion is I prefer Gangnam House.... As I'm here with my family- I enjoy the Atmosphere- at Gangnam house because it's nice and relaxing, no loud club music blasting while I'm eating and I can have a nice conversation with the people I'm with without yelling. Less wait time and the servers are very attentive and nice and also cook your food for you and because they're not helping 10 tables at the same time, don't seem as rushed and always are available to help. My pick is the G House!

Jennifer N.

We came across Gangnam House while we were walking around The Source and decided we wanted to try it for lunch! We came around 12pm on a Friday and it was pretty empty. We ordered a combo B for 3 people and we were so stuffed after! The meat quality was really good, good selection of banchan, and comes in decent sized portions. I didn't care much for their stew though, it was on the saltier side. I also wish they did the fried rice earlier on in the meal instead of at the end cause I was too full to eat it. Will definitely be back!

Nico C.

Yelp
Service was fairly fast and attentive to cooking the food. They did forget some of our orders and had to repeat it a few times to get everything. The banchan was probably the best thing for me. The japchae and kimchi were tasty. We got the combo B and it was alright, the cuts were a little tough. The dolsot octopus bibimbap was also a little bland and was just spicy rather than savory. The place itself is nice and clean. Staff were very nice and changed the grill often.

I finally went back to have lunch today since the covid pandemic. Wow! Nothing was changed almost same ambiance, but the menu was quite changed. They don't offer lunch menu on weekend so we ordered the bulgogi a la carte for $29 and 2 kimchi stews w korean beer. I noticed the kimchi stew hot pot called ddukppaki was a little smaller than before. I don't see much kimchi either. They put a lot more green onions than kimchi. They changed the quality. And no more pre-cooked bulgogi was served on the table. You need to order the bbq combo or a la carte. The beef was not tender. Not much flavorful, so disappointed. I liked the different side dishes today. Cucumber pickles were so crunchy, fresh, and flavorful, chapchae called silver noodle was tasty, the kimchi was 5 stars, dark, well seasoned. Service: 2 out of 5. Very slow, not attentive, not too friendly Ambiance: 3 out of 5. Open, comfy, casual Price: lunch menu is affordable but not available on weekend. To be honest, I don't like their BBQ grill. Doesn't look like the korean BBQ grill. My hubby and I missed their kimchi stew for years so we tried today but I got dissapointed about the service and quality.

Gaetano S.

I went to have the kimchi stew w bulgogi for lunch today. The menu was quite changed and it looked so slow during Saturday lunch time. I expected the cooked bulgogi w kimchi stew but the server said, lunch menu is for only the weekdays so we decided to order the bulgogi BBQ. I like the beef not too tender but my wife likes tender rib eye, filet mignon, and short rib. My wife didn't like the bulgogi meat, but she liked all the side dishes, which were kimchi, chapchae, cucumber pickles, seasoned bean paste for bbq. I really liked the hot kimchi stew. Loved the rich flavors w chunky pork, tofu, and green onions. Service was not too attentive. Seemed so slow. Not so many customers today. We both expected the lunch simple menu, hopefully they serve the lunch menu on weekend in the future. They can have more customers like before. Ambiance is casual, little noisy. Qualities of foods are 4 stars. I love the kimchi here. So flavorful. I can't find the same taste at other restaurants. I give 5 stars. Overall, this is BBQ and korean traditional restaurant. I'd like to suggest if they change the BBQ grill, it improves the flavors for sure.

The Food and Service was wonderful!!! The regular and Marinated Pork Belly was Delicious

This is one of my go to spot if I do not feel like eating all you can eat Korean barbecue. They use higher quality cuts of meat that is worth the extra cost to enjoy premium bbq! We enjoyed everything from the melt in your mouth brisket, short ribs, tongue, pork jowl, steak and so much more! The extra kimchi fried rice was a perfect compliment to all the Bbq meats we were eating and the banchan was delicious too! Must order the soju since beer makes you feeling full and bloated. The servers are really friendly and will grill all the meats for you. We order the largest size to feed five people but also got the tongue and pork jowl. Those were not included as part of the combo and it is something that we always eat at a KBBQ restaurant. Their doenjang jjigae is so good and the steamed egg was made perfectly and extra fluffy! The server told us to grill the kimchi and bean sprouts together. It was the perfect bite eating with the grilled pork jowl. Overall I like coming here and the quality of their food never seems to disappoint me. Highly recommended! Tag me on IG: Missfoodaddict if you see my review and happen to visit here!

I'm glad this restaurant is on the top level because I definitely needed to do some walking after eating a decent sized meal here! My friends and I spontaneously chose to try this place since we were nearby. Parking was easy to find in the multi-level parking structure. Using the directory, locating the restaurant was no problem at all. As we entered the restaurant we were greeted and seated immediately. There was actually only one table taken when we got there. Plenty of seating was available during that time. We ordered a plethora of meat and honestly the only one I remember was the brisket, which was quite tasty. All of the other meats we ordered was good as well, but I forgot what they were. The side dishes were also good, especially the daikon radish and the pickled cucumbers. Service was good from all of the staff. We felt very welcomed.

Sara T.

Yelp
Had such a good dinner here with my friends on a weeknight! We got the big combo and had a variety of beef and pork items. The beef was such good quality! The brisket was delicious, and my favorite was probably the aged boneless short rib! Both marinated and unmarinated short ribs were so good! They also had a variety of vegetables as well (corn cheese, oyster mushroom, onion, cabbage). One of the meats also had some rice cakes too that tasted pretty good when grilled! I really liked their kimchi! It tasted a little sweet and spicy but also not super sour. We also grilled the kimchi with the bean sprouts we got as a side dish and my oh my that was so good!! It tasted so good on its own but also so good with the grilled meat as well. I'll take a bowl of rice now. Had such a good experience here and can't wait to come back again soon! PS. They're on the third floor of the Source!

GANGNAM HOUSE - BUENA PARK 9.09/10 -- Review: not an all you can eat, but really really good KBBQ. the meat here is what u expect when you're not paying an all-you-can-eat price. it has that nice pink color with marble, solid steamed egg, solid cold buckwheat noodles, solid everything. I came here after graduation and a birthday dinner with family. W place and always did us well. they also got very nice servers that are so kind. W place, W location, and I swear i've came here when it first opened. it was back when The Source opened and there was like nothing there except the top floor. Never downgraded since then. Classic W

Kathy X.

Yelp
Really filling meal and fair price! Even though it's not AYCE, I feel like they give you a lot of food. The meats are high quality, the soybean paste had the perfect amount of spice, and they give you so many different sides!

Susan M.

Yelp
Highway robbery for low quality kbbq meat. There were 5 of us and we ordered the large combo. The chadol was probably the most disappointing. If we're paying $350 total for a combo then I expect the meat to be at least above average. My uncle and aunt said this was their 3rd time giving this place a try and they failed all three times all due to various reasons each time. Every single time they mentioned the food was bad quality but the first two times were due to terrible attitude and service by the staff. If you want to thrive in Orange County as a kbbq restaurant you need to step up your service and food quality.

MinaLucia M.

The Spicy Octopus Dolsot Bibimbap, served in a hot stone pot, was absolutely delicious. The cold noodles were also quite good, adding a refreshing balance to the meal. Highly recommend trying Gangnam House.

Food was ok. Server was so rude and splashed water on me. had to cook our own meat and even ran out of water and they never served us more. Wouldn't recommend.

Yelp
This was my second time eating here. The first time was during lunch hours on a weekday and my husband and I really enjoyed it. The second time was over the weekend during dinner hours. We decided to come after the other KBBQ spot at the Source had a long wait. I was not impressed by food or service. Flavors were lacking. We had to remind the servers multiple times about bringing the side dishes and rice. This place also is supposed to cook the meat and at one point we realized they weren't coming to flip and the meat was overcooked. I'd like to point out that the first time we were here and tried cooking ourselves the server looked at us a little annoyed LOL so I was trying to avoid making it awkward. They never refilled our waters. I honestly felt like I was bugging them the entire time even when I asked for rice paper! There were 3 adults with us and for a nearly $200 I expect a bit more. Maybe an off night but enough for me not to return

Yelp
Excellent food, excellent service, easy location, free parking, mall convenience for coffee dessert walking. I highly recommend the kimchi chigae (it's like my grandma's and mom's who are both gone so it's nice to have) with the beef combo and gae-ran chim. Competes with Agashi Gopchang and Kang Ho Dong without the headache of L.A.

unpleasant. I've dined at Korean BBQ restaurants before, and the waitstaff has always been helpful with grilling the meat. However, at Kangnam, they placed us in the back of the restaurant and didn't pay any attention to our table until we asked for assistance. Even then, it took a while for anyone to come over and help us grill the meat. When I asked for some rice from the waitress Regina, I spoke to her politely in the respectful form that's customary in Korean culture when addressing an older person. However, she responded with a rude tone, making me feel disrespected and frustrated. I also asked her if it was usual for customers to cook their own meat, and she responded with irritation, telling me that they could help but it was also possible for customers to do it themselves. What bothered me even more was that while other tables had waitstaff actively grilling meat and chatting with customers, our table was completely ignored. We were at the end of the hall, and no one came to check on us or ask if we needed anything. I even had to wait for 28 minutes before anyone came over to give us the check. It was such a disappointment to pay over $200 for such low-quality service. I used to be a regular at Kangnam, but this experience was nothing like my previous visits. It felt like they didn't care about our table because we were dressed casually and had two young kids with us. I would have given this place a negative rating if I could

Erin B.

Yelp
Excellent fresh food. Superb service. We ordered the set A and it was more than enough beef BBQ for two. The side dishes were so delicious and plentiful refills. Would highly recommend.

Mandy T.

Very attentive service throughout our dinner, always refill the small dishes proactively, this is a big plus! Free AYCE ice cream for all customer to bring customer a very satisfied experience !

Yelp
The quality of the meat is amazing here!!! I was really surprised by how good the quality was- you can tell by how the meat isn't chewy. So many bbq places lately have been using lower quality meat and u can always taste it but the theirs wasn't chewy and the marbling was really nice on some of the cuts. The Banchan/side dishes were nice and clean. The moment we sat down, the waitress provided kids plate and utensils for my son- which was really nice since I hate when they serve giant metal spoons even for kids at some places. Service was excellent! *the kimchi stew and the soybean stew definitely good and must try with rice. It tastes so much better than other restaurants who serve it as a main dish! Chunks of good quality meat as well! Definitely recommend!

J L.

Yelp
We visited with a happy mindset and ordered Combo C, which is supposed to be sufficient for four people. The meat came out first, and the server cooked it for us. We asked if the combo included stew and egg dishes, and we were told it did. However, Combo C clearly states that it should come with two stews and two egg dishes. The male server insisted on only one of each, without checking or confirming, and acted as if it was a given. When we pointed out that we ordered Combo C, his demeanor changed, and he became noticeably displeased. After that, the service was not very good. Although a female server later came and provided friendly service, the overall experience was still disappointing. I would give it 2 stars.

My dad loves this place and it's one of his go-to KBBQ spots, so I was really excited to finally try it out. It's located on the top floor of the Source and I have to say that it's one of the most solid dining options they have there. Gangnam House is an upscale KBBQ experience, so it's not as loud and smokey as your typical Korean BBQ restaurant. But this spot stands out for so many other reasons too. Firstly, the quality of the meat is next-level. From the marbling to the presentation and the flavor of the meat, it's almost unmatched, especially for the prices that they offer. I also LOVE that they offer half orders, so you have the option to try more things! My mom, sister and I got their Boneless Short Rib, the Bone-In Short Rib, Pork Belly, Pork Jowl, the Brisket Fried Rice, Soybean Stew, and some Naengmyun (Cold Buckwheat Noodles). Safe to say that we were stuffed and satisfied by the end. For the meat, the Bone-In Short Rib (unmarinated) was my favorite, as the meat quality really came through on this one. But as with the other meats we tried, every single cut was juicy and tender. For the other non-meat orders, I liked the Brisket Fried Rice, and it had a subtle smokey flavor to it. The Cold Buckwheat Noodles were also a refreshing end to the meal. Our server (I think her name was Soona) was amazing. So attentive, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere here was lively but still very calm and collected, which I think is the optimal vibe for a KBBQ spot of this caliber. Already looking forward to coming back during my next visit to the Source.

Ended up visiting this place in The Source mall due to a place called M bbq not having any interest in serving us. Gangnam bbq was fatty and good. The servers also have a sense of knowing what people need. We had received some noodles as an appetizer which were so amazingly good and the waiter replaced the empty dish without us asking!

Had an impromptu lunch with a friend and decided Korean BBQ. This place is on the top level at The Source. The meat quality was great and the banchan was good! Friendly staff and bright and airy interior. No frills, just good reliable BBQ with all the sauces, and both rice paper and radish wraps. Will definitely bring entire family back!

Olivia Y.

Yelp
Good service, quality meat and side dishes - rice paper, marinated radish and salad to make ssam! Ordered combo B. Brisket, aged boneless short rib (kkot sal) and marinated boneless short rib were all delicious. Roast gui was replaced by rib finger (not our request; they changed but not updated on menu). Rib finger was juicy and tender. Pretty fatty or marbled. Soy bean stew was too watery - more like soup than stew. And fried rice wasn't very good.

Visit this place with a group of friends and I love it! Fresh meat with great quality, servers are very friendly, they also cook the meat for us too and shows us how traditional Korea ppl way to enjoy the bbq. Having grilled cabbage the very first time and I wanna tell you I enjoyed it very much! I need to ask for more of that cabbages. Will definitely coming back soon again.

Good quality, yummy Korean bbq! We came in with a group of 8 and were seated right away. Service was okay. The quality of the meat is really good. It was pretty expensive though for the amount you get. Lots of different sides, good variety. My favorite is the brisket and short ribs. Overall expensive for what you get, but good quality and delicious meats!

Just went to this place for lunch with my brothers and Newphew, we meet for lunch every Friday. This place has the worst service or they don't like serving non Koreans. We sat for about 20 minutes without anyone coming to take our order, even with my Newphew trying to flag down a server down, no one came. We got tired of waiting and left to go to another restaurant. Will never go back or ever recommend this place.

Had a dinner meeting here & tried their Galbi soup (yukgaejang not available for dinner). I was pleasantly surprised how delicious the soup was. It was not fatty with tender rib meat & tasty broth. They give u scissors to cut the meat off the bones. Their kimchi was also very delicious! Very fresh banchan. I will be back to eat this soup again. Free ice cream too in the cooler just ask. Their BBQ also looked good. Nice friendly service too! Check it out on the top floor of the Source OC.

Gangnam House is located on the third floor of The Source so it may be slightly harder to find. My family and I got the Set B and we found it to be a perfect amount for 3 people. The waitresses were very attentive to our grill and regularly checked up on us to refill our banchans and cook our meats.

We didn't even get to try this place because of how rude the front desk lady was. I grew up with Korean ahjummas so I know they can come off as blunt or rude but it usually means no harm. Not this one thoughhhh This cashier just sat us in the most weird, awkward table away from everyone and she didn't even seem like she wanted us to dine in. I decided to not dine here because her attitude was so disgusting. Like please, if you hate ur job, go work elsewhere and don't take it out on customers who just wanted to eat
