King Chang - Buena Park

★★★★★ 4.8 (761) • $$$

"First time at King Chang, and I can see why my Korean girlfriend loves this place. The lively ambiance, upbeat music, and attentive staff were definite highlights.Food: * Banchan: Great variety--Japchae noodles, broccoli, candied peanuts, fish jerky, salad, and bean sprouts were all solid. The kimchi, however, was pale and bland. * Couple Combo: My boyfriend and his daughter, who lived in Seoul for years and is quite picky, loved the pork belly but found the Galbi a bit too sweet. The soybean paste stew was good but not the best she's had. * Seafood Pancake: Our favorite! Packed with seafood and perfectly crispy--if you love pancakes, this is a must-order. * Spicy Octopus Rice in Hot Stone Pot: Absolutely delicious! I wished for more octopus and less rice, but it was so good I happily took leftovers home. * Buckwheat Noodles in Chilled Broth: Served mid-meal, though it felt more like a dessert. It was okay but not something I'd reorder. * Corn Cheese: Simply delicious.Overall, we had an amazing experience. There's a reason this spot is a favorite among K-pop and K-drama stars. Just a heads-up--you will leave smelling like KBBQ, so come prepared!"

"This is a nice little neighborhood place to pick up a sandwich. It has grown an appendage which is 3rd&Loma. Repainted, it has a new and bright exterior. Thankfully, we were able to get a Italian sandwich to round out the spring roll linner that was begun next door. Quite hungry. Were we to want something at this location again I think that I would try another sandwich here rather than 3rd&Loma fare. Bf pointed out that that ratio of bread to sandwich innards was perfect."

Sushi Hama

★★★★★ 4.7 (81) • $$$

"I visited this restaurant this past weekend with my cousin as we were craving sushi. The staff were all very friendly and our food came pretty quickly. We ordered a few salmon rolls, and crispy rice roll. Everything was good except the crispy rice roll that was cold and super hard as if it had been sitting out for a while. It tasted old. Other than that I would definitely recommend. Location is nice where you can enjoy a walk on the pier after. Place was small and quaint and clean. Will go back again to try something different."

"Great range of tequilas and mezcal. Appearances can be deceiving: from the street this looks like a typical neighbourhood liquor store. Inside: huge chiller full of beers and whites. Racks of gin, whisky, vodka and the best range of tequilas and mezcals I've seen in LGB. Worth a drop in for sure."

Happy's Liquor

★★★★☆ 4 (43) • $

"I used to frequently visit this spot when it was under previous ownership and called" Pauls". That was in my twenties when I drank the cheapest I could find like thunderbird and mad dog 20/20. It is so much nicer now. The signage is even an upgrade. I buy most of my liquor from Costco now. But, this is a good quick buy."

Naples Wine and Spirits

★★★★☆ 4 (35) • $$

"If you like wine, this is the place to go! Even if you don't have the money to buy one of the super expensive $4,000 dollar bottles of wine, go ahead and browse the aisles to find a reasonable bottle of red that's more in your price range, whatever that price range might be. They have inexpensive bottles staring under $10 that are not only respectable, but will more than satisfy your wallet and pallet. But red wine isn't all they stock. They have a fine offering of white wines, hard alcohol, hard to find accoutrements, cheeses, and other alcohol-based odds and ends that will have you wandering the store like a kid in a candy shoppe. You will find yourself oohing and ahhing at all of the interesting and delicious goods.They also have wine samplings, tasting days and evening boat cruises where you can talk with reps and distributors while rubbing elbows with other local residents.The Bottle Shoppe has a plethora of goodies for pickiest wine snob or the average Joe who just wants a great shopping experience. Mosey on in and have some fun!"

Craft Beer Kings

★★★★☆ 4.3 (27)

"Been wanting to try 450 north brewing . Never had a sour in my life. It doesn't taste like the normal beer or ale. Very light carbonation. I like the fruit and beer combination. $8-13 varying per can. Nice staff"

"This is my local liquor store, walking distance, and I love it. Frank is as awesome as the craft beer selection."

Marc's Liquor

★★★★☆ 3.8 (24) • $

"Marc's Liquor is easily my favorite liquor store in the Long Beach area. They have a fantastic selection, are always adding new products, and everyone who works there is friendly and knows their stuff. Their selection of bourbon, whiskey, and wine is fantastic! Not to mention, they have an array of snacks and other goodies available, which I appreciate. If you're ever in the area and want to try something new, it's definitely worth stopping by!"

Loma Liquor

★★★★☆ 3.8 (23) • $

"This is our go to corner store. They're always so good he is always available and has everything you could want. Always clean and every type of alcohol you can think of. They have everything for food anything you might be missing in your kitchen. Anything for cleaning your house. They have an ATM they literally have everything. Very friendly men who run the store."

Belmont Heights Market

★★★★☆ 3.8 (17) • $$

"Wow, I'm the first to review this place???Love this place for the simple fact they offer bottles of independent drinks. Mainly iced teas, juices, and lemonades. Since I've stop drinking soda regularly, I've been stopping in here from time to time to try some new drinks. Loving the Calypso Lemonades...tried the tropical mango lemonade...so f'in good! I always love to see stores carry non-mainstream brands that usually put better care into making their products...I'm big on kickin' the HFCS habit with more organic drinks and juices. I've also experienced nothing but super friendly and nice service here. They've also got a killer hard liquor selection too."

Marina Liquor Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (13) • $$

"Your friendly neighborhood liquor store. Good prices and selection, plus they will happily special order most anything for you. It's a bit cluttered near the counter but it doesn't bother me. I just wish I lived closer. If you're in the area, don't bother going to the overpriced competitors in town. This is the place. And it has plenty of street parking. I honestly wish there were more liquor stores like this one."

The Beverage House

★★★★★ 4.5 (11)

"This is a very tiny local liquor store. But I can see it being invaluable in a pinch . They have booze of course and some picnic items . Candies. , chips, cheese a few staples . I like the location on 62nd street on the peninsula . The thing about a place like this is that it can become a 5 star if you really need something and live close by. Say you don't want to get in your car . Or your car is being fixed this place is a rescue stop. Definitely not a 7-11 ! It reminded me of a few of the corner markets in SF. Only it's not on a corner .I missed the sign and had to ask the guy behind the counter what the name was. They do sell Lotto tickets. And I meant to buy a winner here . Next time for sure. I was satisfied as the did have my M n M peanuts."

Bay Liquor

★★★★☆ 4.1 (10) • $$$

"I usually stop in here on my way to Huntington Beach to grab some beers prior to going to my friends house. They have a pretty good selection of beers and are priced reasonably. The clerk is always friendly and greets you with a smile and ask me how my day is going :)"

Eddie's Liquor Center

★★★★☆ 3.7 (9) • $$

"One of my favorite liquor store in my area! Maybe because it's walking distance from my house and its big! But Eddie's Liquor Center, you are good to me! Doesn't matter the time or day, the workers are friendly and helpful. Even though it's located on PCH and across from a motel. It's not as ghetto as it seems. The store is always clean and fully stocked. Bright lights and clean floors! The alcohol are always reasonable priced. Sometimes I can even get it cheaper here than at Food 4 Less! Sometimes when I'm short a few cents they even let me slide!Thank you Eddie's Liquor Center, you're the best! :)"

US Liquor

★★★★☆ 3.9 (7) • $

"The prices are great. They keep a good inventory of all your alcoholic and tobacco smoking needs. They have many different brands of blunt wraps which is always a plus.One time when I went in here they were giving away samples of this alcoholic cognac flavor ice cream. The stuff sucked, but it definitely was a pleasant surprise.Creepy location with creepy people always creeping around. Creep."

Big John's Liquor & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.7 (6) • $$

"I have been living directly across the street from big john's for 3 years now. That being said, I have been there more times then I can count and never realized they were on yelp! The guy with the dreads is Mike. Super cool laid back dude who basically lives there. You can find almost anything you need in this little place and they're mostly reasonably priced. They are usually open by 730am and close at 10 on weekdays and 11 on weekends. Everyone is really nice and helpful. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is cuz it's so small and sometimes hard to find things though the building is protected by the city so there is never a chance of expansion."

Rossmoor Gourmet Liquor & Delicatessen

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (8) • $$$

"What better way to finish off a visit to the doctor's office than to head over to the liquor store next door? Clean bill of health? Celebrate with a drink! Bad news? Drown you sorrows in a bottle of your choosing...okay, maybe not.This place is located near the corner of Katella and Los Alamitos Boulevard. It's in the same strip mall as the Original Fish Company, Fio Rito's, and Charo Chicken...and it's across the parking lot from the Center for Family Medicine (my li'l girl's doctor's office). Following a checkup, the family and I headed over here looking for cough drops. Unfortunately, they only had Halls (the wife wanted Ricola).Basically, this liquor store is pretty much like most of the liquor stores you've probably visited - assorted spirits, snacks, candy, over-the-counter drugs, and Lotto tickets. Though I found nothing really 'gourmet' about this place, it's actually a slight step above some liquor stores I've visited (cleaner and friendlier). I suppose since this place is in Rossmoor, they needed to put the word 'gourmet' in their name. Either way, f you're looking for some booze and/or happen to be in the area, this place is a good choice for your alcoholic/snack/sweet fixes."
