Gaenali Bon Ga - Korean restaurant in Garden Grove - 8757 Garden Grove Blvd, USA

Delicious and authentically made Korean food. I can taste that they actually use the right base of anchovies for their broth and I'm happy that even their fermented bean soup on side was flavorful. Everything was done well. I liked that there were lots of options for fish dishes that aren't offered in every Korean restaurant. The banchan refills are nice. Prices range around $15-20 for most soups and even hot stone dish. Was pleased with this place, despite a bit if a long wait when ordering because they were busy.

* This restaurant looks really clean!!! * servers was all nice and friendly, very attentive. I was having a hard time to choose the menu and the lady bring out the paper menu that has picture on it for me, and it so much easier to see from the picture. * prices was really good for the portions. Big portions * Side dishes was fresh and all good. * clean restroom * easy parking * food was really good as well. Bimbimbap was so good, they bring a bottle sauce out for you to mix it yourself. Other restaurant usually only put some little portions of the sauce to mix inside the bimbimbap. The bimbimbap also comes with the tofu soup. * Seafood pancakes was super good as well. Really big portions, usually me and my husband cant finished the pancake anywhere. But here we both finished it all. It was so good. Full of flavor and top it up with the sauce. This place definetly a 5 stars restaurant!!! Definetly would come back next time !!!

Good Korean food, try their seasonal spicy sweet marinated raw crab, it's a treat!

I am not sure why somebody said the people here are not friendly. I had a great customer service experience with the server Jay Kim and even the cook/owner Christina Cho ! I ate around 1:30 pm. The last of the lunch crowd was clearing up. I was the only customer left by 2:15 pm. The staff in the back was beginning to eat their lunches and they were so friendly. 4 ladies had lunches. 3 cooks and 1 server. They even gave me more sides when I said I loved the vegetables 😋. The place is clean and the server cleaned the tables as the customers left the tables. The food quality was A for amazing. I ordered the Bulgogi Dolsot or Hot Stone w/Bulgogi, Vegetables & Spicy sauce. The flavors were not overwhelming. There was enough spice on the kimchi but not too much. It is a combination of spice, savory, tangy, and smoky flavors on the hot stone bulgogi. It arrived piping hot and the stone was sizzling for over 20 min. I was here for more than an hour and the hot stone is still warm as I write this review! The soup! It was also served in a small hot stone container and it was a nice starter. On the outside, it looks like a little hole-in-the-wall place. But boy, this is a gem! It is a diamond on the rough. If I can rate this place as a 10, It more than deserves it.

My first time eating authentic Korean food and I loved it!! The servers are helpful & polite. The food is delicious 😋 It was an awesome experience! I look forward to eating more Korean food!!

Tasty food but the restaurant itself is very stuffy with poor ventilation. It's noticeable right when you walk in.

We love gaenali! Most dishes are great, especially bossam

This place is so consistent and good! I love the hole-in-the-wall, authentic nature of this place. They're probably most known for their bibimbap but their other dishes are also amazing. I personally like ordering their bossam and haemul pajun (seafood pancake). My only negative is that the service is a tiny bit slow. If I'm in the area, this place is one of the first places on mind if I am craving homey, authentic Korean food!
