Sodam Korean Kitchen

My mom wanted Korean food for Mother’s Day so we went here and we absolutely loved everything we ordered! The sides were plentiful and the entree portions were good. My mom especially loved the japchae. I liked the texture of the tteokbokki. Kimchi tasted like how my cousin made it (not store-bought). Beef bulgogi was a big pile of meat! Staff was very friendly and attentive. The stainless steel cups & water pitchers were a nice touch. The place was very clean.

I was craving seolleoungtang but didn’t wanna drive to LA. Found this spot and it did not disappoint. Food was great, banchan was fresh, and the service was incredible. Ordered the seolleongtang, bibimbop, and kimchi mandu. All very tasty. They also had a whole wall of alcohol and other Korean drinks that I’ll definitely check out next time. Overall great experience and will definitely be coming back.

As a Korean, I love Korean cuisine and visit many restaurants, but this place truly impressed me with its delicious banchan and cleanliness. The service is excellent and everything is timely. Dirty dishes are never left on the table for long — they are cleared away right away. Thank you very much for the high level of service.

This Korean restaurant instantly reminded me of my mom's home-cooked meals! The quality of the food was so fresh and clean, and I loved that it wasn't heavily salted. I'm so happy I found this amazing spot. I honestly don't mind driving about 40 minutes just to eat here. We ordered the Galbitang, a comforting short rib soup with tender galbi ribs, noodles, and a rich, flavorful broth. It was absolutely delicious. But the standout for me was the Seolleongtang a nourishing ox bone soup with noodles, topped with chadol brisket and fresh green onions. It was light and healthy! The sides and kimchi were also superb so fresh and full of flavor, just like my mom's cooking. On top of the amazing food, the service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance felt cozy and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes from this wonderful Korean restaurant!

This is our second time visiting, and both times the food and service were amazing. We usually order the Yukgaejang, and this place truly serves one of the best around. The broth is thick, the meat is flavorful, and every bite feels comforting. Their fish pancakes were also delicious and perfectly cooked. Sodam really lives up to its name by offering a satisfying and memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Korean soups in SCV. It is a must-visit and has become our favorite spot from now on.
