Outstanding food and service. I've ordered numerous dishes here from soups and pork dishes and everything is always wonderful.

My Korean friend took me to this restaurant. It has a casual, diner like atmosphere, making it an easy place to stop by. I've been here many times, but this was my first time trying the bossam. The meat was super tender and so good. The yukgaejang had just the right amount of spice, perfect for a cold day. I was bummed to see that their galbi jjim, which used to be amazing, is no longer on the menu really hoping they bring it back! Also, they close early, so if you're coming for dinner, I'd recommend going early.

I ordered spicy squid and Gam ja tang. Both were so yummy and good portions as well. People who work there also very kind and generous.

This K-food hole-in-the-wall spot is a hidden gem in Gardena. It's located inside the plaza right next to Honda dealership. It's kind of hidden. In the plaza, it's one over the Smoking Tiger Cafe at the corner end past Love Letter restaurant. See my restaurant photo for your visual reference. There's plenty of free parking on the main level and the bottom parking structure as well. We usually park behind the restaurant. Beware... when it's busy, parking is limited. The Food: It's customary for me to try yook gae jjang (spicy beef soup) at different Korean restaurants if available. Yook gae jjang at "Yook Dae Jang" restaurant in Gardena used to be my favorite go-to until they'd changed management. Then the quality just went south. Haven't been back since. Anyways, I'd recently discovered Gu Jip. Something about the yook gae jjang here just blew me away. The spices and ingredients tasted and smelled similar to how my mom and wife cooks it at home. It was authentic. You taste the love that's put into this dish with dopamine-releasing flavors. The portion was very generous. I love how they bring it out in a traditional brass bowl. My wifey tried cold noodles and spicy cold noodles. For the cold broth noodles, the broth was amazing. The beef slices were tender. They use the traditional slushy ice, which takes me back to when I had cold noodles in Korea. Spicy cold noodle is a spicy mix noodles with spicy (gochujang I.e. chili) sauce. This is one without the broth. It's spicy but all the flavors just come together. Both are refreshingly great on a hot summer weather. If you're craving meats, order the bulgogi (Korean-style marinated sliced beef) and kalbi (Korean-style marinated short-ribs). The soy sauce marinate is sweet but savory. The meats are juicy and tender. Both are delicious. The Service: Based on observation, I think this place is run by group of Korean ladies that just knows how to cook good traditional Korean foods. The service is prompt and food came out promptly. No complaints here. The Ambiance: The inside looked like a typical Korean restaurant. Not modern, more old school look and feel. The table seatings were spacious. All in all, if you're craving good traditional Korean foods prepared by ladies who know how to cook them, check this place out. Pricing was reasonable based on quality and quantity. It's actually cheaper than most other Korean restaurants imho. The food is excellent and authentic. I would definitely come back to try other dishes or end up resorting back to my favorite, yook gae jjang. Great place for group of family and friends. You're welcome.

Always craving Korean (authentic) food after watching my Korean drama. This is a restaurant I have never tried before. OMG! The pig leg meat (jokbal) is so good. They are meaty and chewy, lots of collagen! The kimbap is a kids favorite for sure. Large portion to share. The (spicy) cold buckwheat noodles definitely hit the right spot. I like to cut the noodles with scissors first because the noodles texture is kind of chewy. The sotteok (rice cake & sausage) is a very popular street food.

My wife and I have ordered from Gu Jip multiple times now and it's quickly become our go-to for local Korean fare. The kimbap, soondubu, and kalbi have all been consistently derricious. Whether it's the kimbap's freshness and construction, the soondubu's ample spice and plentiful meat/tofu, or the kalbi's fatty goodness, we've enjoyed them every time. Looking forward to delving further into the menu soon. 4.5 rounded up!

The Place Gu Jip should not be overlooked even though it is tucked away in the corner of the shopping center. Gu Jip has been a staple in my husband and my regular restaurants rotation for quite some time now and we have never been disappointed. They specialize in traditional Korean soups which is my all time favorite to warm up the soul. We love the soy bean paste stew with beef brisket, burdock kimbap, and tofu soup. I also love their bulgogi stew which is a lighter, sweet and savory soup with glass noodles and lots of bulgogi. Hot tip: Ask for the kimbap menu which isn't listed on the printed paper table mat menu! You'll find an assortment of delicious kimbap to order. My favorites are the burdock and bulgogi.

Came here on Monday at 11am for lunch with my mom! First off I'll start with the food: me and my mom had ordered bulgogi with veggie wraps as well as makerol. I really really enjoyed the bulgogi and wraps which included cabbage, lettuce, and seaweed to wrap the meat in. The makerol was cooked very well and you have to squeeze lemon in it as well to make it complete. All in all Everything was pretty good, very standard Korean meals. Ambiance: clean inside, standard restaurant Service: everything came out in a nice and timely fashion, no problems with servers however we were the only ones inside at the time. Could be different if it's a full house! All in all: good food! Definitely will be back and will update the review
