Jinsol Gukbap Buena Park (진솔국밥 부에나팍)

This is one of the newest Korean eateries specializing in traditional dishes, particularly soups served with rice. I had already sampled their Kukbap (국밥) on a previous visit, so I decided to treat my friends to a rejuvenating meal after a night of indulgence before their long drive home. Arriving an hour before closing, we had a limited selection from the menu. Nonetheless, we were impressed by the restaurant's architectural design and ambiance. The side dishes arrived promptly and looked appetizing. Opting for the pork soup (돼지국밥), I found the broth to be authentically flavorful with generous portions of pork. However, I noticed that the sauce typically served for dipping the pork was missing. Whether it was an oversight or not included with the dish, I recommend adding it to enhance the flavor of the soup. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience, but the addition of the sauce would make the 국밥 even more enjoyable.

Good filtered water. Came around 11am. Wasnt crowded at the time but by the time I left around 12pm on a Monday, it was fully packed with a line out the door and parking lot was full! I ordered the pork soup, #1, and it was great. Tons of pork slices and added the noodles on the side. Kimchi was great too. I was so full when I left.

I heard that Jinsol Gukbap restaurant was opened in Buena Park, so I came here to try their food.
There was a parking lot behind the restaurant, but parking was not easy because most spaces are already taken.
The inside of the restaurant was very clean, perhaps because it was newly opened.
Gukbap is mainly a favorite food of Korean seniors, but I was surprised to see full of people who looked like Generation Z and customers of various races eating gukbap at Jinsol Gukbap.
The pork soup and boiled pork belly slices I tried all tasted great, and they went very well with the makgeolli I drank with it.
The staff were friendly and I had a very satisfying meal.
I will come back soon and try other foods soon.

I've been to Jinsol at another location and was completely satisfied with the taste there. However, at this location, the flavor was noticeably different. Despite the similar menu, price, and side dishes, the distinct taste made it hard for me to believe they belong to the same restaurant chain.

I came here because the weather was getting cold and I wanted to eat hot soup. I ordered pork soup and the side dishes were very good. The soup came out quickly and I could adjust the spiciness myself, so I just added the hot sauce prepared at the table to suit my taste. There was a lot of meat and it was delicious. it was good
