Woomi Oak

Clean, authentic and richly complex flavors of love filled with Korean Uncles catching up on life. I couldn't ask for more. Portions were all family style and HUGE.I don't know why this place doesn't have lines completely wrapped around the block bc it's the most incredible food I've enjoyed since living in Ktown Los Angeles.Kalbi Jjim had incredible depth of flavor and didn't skimp on quality.Ugeoji Galbitang- Korean short rib, cabbage was the ultimate highlight. Rich broth filled with monster bone-in ribs and plenty of cabbage. I ate more than half and needed to save the rest to look forward to eating again in the morning. I couldn't sleep thinking about this soup which goes to show how good it is.Bossam was fresh.Pork Katsu was very lightly dusted in crispy panko and juicy pork. Kids didn't save us any outside of 2 bites.Saw lots of people order shared stews, squid and noodles. Seafood pancake was just okay. Not much seafood and heavy on white onions, green onions and filler batter. Suggest to skip, I've had better. Overall, I'm counting the days until I return. Don't sleep on this place. May feel a bit intimidating not being Korean but the food is out of this world and worth every dollar PLUS.

Hidden gem-level deliciousness! Friendly service and super-yummy kimchi. 10/10 recommend! The bossam entree was super gelatinous and soft. The side dishes added to the experience -- the pickled and fermented items were incredible. So satisfying!

If you are looking for Korean food outside of AYCE, Woomi Oak should be on your radar.My wife and I decided to try this place even with 8 reviews. The food looked good and my wife read that it changed management.Located inside a pretty dead plaza, it's sort of a hidden gem on the corner. You walk in and it's lit with plenty of seating for parties of 4-10.The menu screams unique. I'll be honest, I didn't know what half of the items were. All my wife and I knew was that we wanted to try the steamed pork with napa cabbage. At $45, the meal was plenty for two people as it came with refillable sides.Yes the prices may deter you since you can get your fill from AYCE for the same price, but after watching Jinny's Kitchen and seeing how much effort it takes to prep the work, I think the price if totally warranted.The waitress was also very kind. I raved about the kimchi since I love the kimchi at restaurants instead of the store bought ones. I wanted to take this one home. She gave me a to go kimchi for free. So nice.We'll be back.

Delicious food! Let's start there! The kitchen cooks everything fresh and one at a time so be patient when ordering. Portions were good size and service was friendly and as fast as possible based on the kitchen. Typical inside with regards to ambiance. I'd say fairly small as far as number of seats but we were seated right away. If this review causes them to get busy... you may have to wait? But worth the wait imo.

Used to be called Gaon but changed name and ownership. Solid Korean restaurant that offers a variety of traditional dishes like soups and noodles.They are currently running a lunch special from 11-2pm where their bean sprout soup, galbi tang, and their Korean "hangover soup" is only $12.99! It gets quite busy during those special hours just FYI. Portions are ok but not as big as the normal entree when it's full priced. My FAVE dish is their stir-fried squid! It's pretty spicy yet super flavorful with a ton of squid and veggies. Portion is big enough for 2 people.Their banchan is fresh with a variety as well!!!

Best Korean Food Combo: Part 1LA Galbi Ribs & Cold Spicy NoodlesPerfect Combination and Flavors so Satisfying that you can't stop eating esp in this ultra hot weather! The perfect spot for this is at WooMiOak that just opened a few weeks ago in Hawaiian Gardens, CA! This spot serves authentic Korean flavors. The little English spoken may appear as intimidating but don't worry! Show them my reel and they will know what's up!

Good authentic Korean food. New owner. Small business. Plenty of indoor seating located in a business plaza. Had no complaints on the side dishes, the leek pancake, and croaker fish. The galbi tang was also good. Service as expected with any korean restaurant (do not expect american service.. like regularly checking up on you and such.. haha). Would recommend.

I Finally found a good Korean restaurant. I love their all kinds of soup and braised beef ribs tastes amazing!Prices are very reasonable and orders were ready quickly. I liked it so much. The manager and the staff are super nice and friendly! I'll visit again.

Terrible. The galbi-tang ribs were all gristle with only bits of edible meat. I wouldn't pay $10 for it but it's almost 20, for a soup. All the prices are atrocious. I took a picture of the braised ribs price so I can share it as a meme. Forget inflation, this place dabbles in extortion.

Great tasting Koreans food at a good price. I'm happy to recommend this place. I am Korean if that matters to you.
