MaDangGol in Rancho Cucamonga

This is the best Korean food Ive ever tasted!! Dont let the aesthetics get to you if you want to eat the best Korean food! Make sure to get their seafood tofu soup - its the best! They used to give complimentary pancake before COVID, and its so goooooood... especially when you dip in the sauce that comes with it. Its on the menu, so make sure to try the pancake as an appetizer. The sides are the best sides Ive ever had anywhere. Although it is a bit pricey, BUT its so worth it. Their hours are different, so I recommend calling first. Lastly, you have to drink the complimentary tea they provide. I am not over exaggerating about how aaaaamazing the food they serve here. You just need to try it for yourself 😀

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I recently had the pleasure of dining at MaDangGol, and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped in, the authenticity was palpable. The fact that everyone else entering the restaurant was Korean spoke volumes about its genuine Korean flavors. The strip mall location might be unassuming, but dont be fooled – this is where culinary magic happens.The standout dish for me was the Bulgogi, which we shared as a family. The meat was tender, flavorful, and came with a side of perfectly cooked rice. The Mul Naeng Myung was a refreshing surprise, ideal for a hot day. Despite the simple plastic cups for panchan, the flavors were anything but simple – a true testament to the chefs expertise. The owners insistence on no tipping, along with the laid-back, traditional vibe of the place, added a unique touch to the experience. MaDangGol is a hidden gem that offers an authentic Korean dining adventure, and I cant wait to return for another culinary journey.

This place is always awesome. The food and service are great. I love that while you wait, they have free teas for you to choose from and enjoy. I always enjoy my dish + banchan. Its very authentic here.

First and foremost, the food is ridiculously tasty. I am a fan of Korean bbq and this place ranks amongst the best. Their focus and efforts very clearly go solely towards the food. The atmosphere is not geared towards dine-in and there isn’t much service, but that’s okay because they strongly promote No tipping so I actually prefer the set up. Ultimately if you want amazing Korean BBQ go here, if you want to a place with top class service and atmosphere go elsewhere.

Im writing this in my car because I had to leave, if you are not Korean I believe you will be treated exactly how I just was. First and foremost, the tofu soup is 16.50, and the 7.99 gimbap that with 7.75% of tax is 26 and some change, I was charged 28.75? Anyways I came in with a smile, immediately was greated with a blank look okay cool thats just how this person is, looking over the menu no help Ive never been here, okay whatever Ill do it myself. I sit down at a table, customers come in and immediately greats them warmly,, they get help with the menu,, told that white people just come here to eat and thats it, but with his own people they understand good food, or something along those lines, after that I couldnt even take a bite in this establishment, I think he noticed my attitude change because I asked for to go asap and then he was trying to be kind letting me know how soon to eat my roll,, stop it, would highly avoid.

The food was amazing. I got the spicy pork soup. The owner was friendly and helpful. The broth had a light flavor and plenty of meat. The banchan (side dishes) were amazing, too! I have definitely found my new go-to Korean spot!

Incredibly delicious food every time i order for pickup or come here! This is my favorite restaurant for authentic korean food in the area. They are very generous with portion sizes and the side dishes, so the price is worth it. I am a big fan of the mul-naengmyeon here too.

Absolutely delicious. There are a lot of all you can eat Korean BBQs in Racho, but if you want authentic Korean cuisine that doesnt limit your seat time and a restaurant that serves you amazing food, you are at the right place here. I came here alone and they still gave me all the side dishes with generous refills. My meal was under 20 dollars but it was like eating a 30 dollars worth of food. Come here to eat and you wont disappoint.

Glad I stumbled into this joint! Was not expecting to be introduced to one of my new Korean BBQ spots. Food Delicious, Customer Service Attentive, what more can you ask for. 🥢

Good place to have authentic Korean food in the area. I come into Ontario airport and this restaurant is close, clean and many side dishes. The guy serves may look intimidating but he is very kind and nice :)Update on 6/16/2022Now all foods are served on plastic containers.Water is self-service and you pay first when you order$17.78 plus tax is what you see on the picture
