Radish kimchi
Salt or MSG? Whatever it is, it tastes great. Probably MSG.

Bulgogi. Seems overpriced for what we actually got.

The place was gorgeously decorated! Even though it was 11pm, the place was packed. The restaurant is open 24/7 and the smell of cooking food hits you once you walk in. The waiting staff is nice but they speak minimal English. Bone broth with tendon: it wasn't for me. There isn't much flavor with bone broth but there was a lot of tendon! I was hoping for some dipping sauce with the tendon but there was none. I tried adding salt and pepper but the salt was a bit chunky and much more salty than table salt. I liked that it came with a side of rice and had noodles in it. 4/10Braised beef: this was really good! Full of flavor and had veggies, rice cake, noodles, and plenty of tender meat. 9/10The kimchi had a much more sour flavor than other kimchi I've had and I wasn't a huge fan. I did like the pickled radish though. I'm not sure if it was a misunderstanding but the server told me I couldn't take the left over kimchi home but then later gave me a takeout box for it. Overall the service was nice and the food price was average. It was a cute place and it was great that it's open 24/7.

This place is consistent and you know what you'll get every time you come. Expect to spend around $20 at the minimum per person. I found the portion to be perfect whenever I did a takeout. It may be different when you dine-in(?).I'm sure you can get really nice soups elsewhere, but if you want something that's soothing and know what you specifically want, this is the place. A familiar aged restaurant with the same servers. Plenty of parking every time.

I love how this is 24/7. It's like a wall in hole and been around for a while. It's this old Korean grandma that served us. It's very cozy.They have this big soup bowl that they stir and make sure to scoop out the fat. They serve their food with msg. We got kimchi jjigae it wasn't the best but it was pretty good. The ox tail soup (wang galbi tang) you eat with putting salt and black pepper and rice and kimchi in it. The bossam was interesting because it felt fresh and steamed vs smoked and crunchy flavor.

A hidden gem that's open 24/7! My friends and I stop by Gom Tang E weekly, and the service is always warm and welcoming, thanks to the hardworking ladies who run it all night. The food is consistently great--highly recommend the Bulgogi Deopbap if you're in the mood for a rice dish, or the Wang Galbi Tang if you prefer soup. Every meal feels like a comforting home-cooked dish. The vibes here are laid-back and cozy, like a classic Korean pocha. I definitely suggest giving it a try!

Stopped by this place after work for a family dinner and the place was not crowded. We got seated right away and we ordered our food pretty quickly. The seafood pancake was hot and it tasted okay with lots of seafood, that was my favorite part of this meal. We ordered some cold noodles and beef broth soup. This is the traditional beef broth soup so it is BLAND (note for those 1st timers trying korean traditional soup). They do have salt and pepper for you to seasoned yourself. The intestine, and beef tripe still have a strong smell to it. I didn't like it much because of the strong smell. The cold noodles was good. Large bowl and lots of pickled radish. Seasoned right too. At the end of the meal, my brother gave some cash to pay and as the lady walked back to the register, he was half way pulling out more cash for tips while waiting for change. The server came back to the table asking us so theres only $4 for tips and demanded more tips. We were telling her we are in the middle of pulling iut more cash to tips. She asked us several times why tips were only $4 and wouldn't leave until she see us put the extra money on the table. I think service could 100% be better! This was my first time here and would not come back here again eventhougj it was close to our house!

The pork neck soup at Gom Tang E is another one of those unique tastes that you must experience to understand. I couldn't compare it to anything else and to give you a nice analogy to help you get it. You just have to try it if you haven't. I brought a few friends here just for that purpose. They were feeling iffy at first because it's a 24-hour restaurant. They were concerned the food may not be fresh. I was like, yo, trust me on this. I know my food. They had their first spoonful and their eyes lit up like eyyyyyyy, this is the shit. They be talking about who else to bring back here lol So now, this is their signature dish. I tried other stuff on their menu but nothing else clicked like the pork neck soup. The seafood pancake maybe my second favorite. This soup is constantly cooked in a giant pot (like a 4-foot diameter pot). The meat is so tender from this slow, constant cooking and the spices in this soup just make your soul feel good. Because it's on the giant pot for 24 hours, it comes out quickly too. Not to mention the staff works fast. With Korean staff, mostly Korean customers, and decor, it feels like you're in Korea. VERDICT: If you've never had pork neck soup at Gom Tang E, set a time to try it! I believe it's called "Ppyeodagwi Haejangguk" on the menu. Ask the waiter. They have a personal-sized bowl and a giant pot that feeds 4 people. GO!

We got the Somuri gookbap, Seol Leong Tang, and Budae Jigae.The budae jigae was the best of the three soups. The stew is thick and had great flavor. There was pork slices, spam, and ramyeon.The somuri gookbap and seol leong tang didn't taste fresh. And the meats that came in those soups tasted VERY not fresh. The meat was also very tough. It's almost as though they've had these soups leftover for a long time and reheated it. Would not recommend these.

Solid! I went in at 8am and was slightly worried that given this place is 24/7, it'd be more of a late night spot but I was happily mistaken. Within minutes several people other people came in.I ordered the gomtang and was so glad I did so. It reminded me of my childhood and the radish kimchi was absolutely on point. Prices were very reasonable as well!As I was paying I noticed the caldron of gignormous soup. Wow!

If you know you know. This is real food.For the reviews complaining about service.The problem isn't always elsewhere,Look within... Really try to reflect on why you're on yelp leaving a 1 star review. You feel powerful? Is this the one moment in your life where you get to exert influence upon the world? Are you frustrated that you haven't experienced love? They were here when I came to America 20 years ago. And I hope they outlive your whiny assAnyways food is great

Checked out this place after relaxing at Spa World that is basically next door. This place was quite busy and the tables were full. We were able to snag the last free table.There is a lot of options on the menu, so it was a little overwhelming to choose what we wanted. We ended up getting the Bossam Jongshik (small order of Bossam with the cabbage wrap and sides, with a bowl of rice and small bowl of rich beef bone broth), a small order of Jokbak (pigs feets) and Ppyeodagwi Haejangguk (pork neck bones soup).The portions were fair for the price. I really liked the bossam and the wraps were a good complement to the fattiness of the meat. The jokbal is sweeter than I was expecting, but the meat was tender. The pork neck soup had a different flavor than we were used to, so we didn't care too much for it. It was still warming on a chilly night. I can't forget the banchan! It was delicious and not too spicy. It went really well with the meats.Service was good. The lady took our order in a timely manner and our food came out hot. We asked for refill on the hot tea a couple of times, but were easily forgotten amidst the busy dinner rush. I ended up getting up to the front counter with our cups to get refills. Other than that, it was fine.There is ample parking in the lot, but if it is a busy night, you might have to just a little further away from the front door.
