29 Best Korean Restaurants in Gardena

“The cleanest broth I had ever tasted in my life. Typical Korean restaurant that serves different kinds of soups. Great service, food was out quickly and the staff was attentive. Everything was delicious.Parking: Lots of parking in non peak hours.“

“Omg! Authentic sul lung tang (traditional korean bone broth soup) is deliciously amazing at Jun Ju. Soup is served pipping hot, broth is rich flavored & served with salt, green onions & black pepper on the side. Speaking of side, their side dishes are exquisite & authentic. You'll enjoy the unlimited fresh ban-chan (side dishes). We also ordered korean seafood pancake- served crunchy with loaded seafood. Absolutely heavenly. Service staffs are friendly & well attentive. Place is clean & seating is limited. You'll see tons of elderly Koreans as delightful customers who are enjoying their meal. Parking is plenty in the front lot. Hope you get to dine at Jun Ju and experience authentic korean cuisine. Bon appetite!“

“I do not have to drive to LA anymore when I can satisfy my cravings for Galbi-jim here! I absolutely love this place from food and service. The food is so delicious, we had a party of four, and we ordered the soy sauce galbi-jim and it was enough for all of us. Our host was splendid too, he was like the chill uncle in the family LOL. Absolutely coming back here soon with more people.“

“This is probably the most popular place to get your lunch at from students and faculty at El Camino College. Every meeting I'm at around lunch time I see someone eating from Mr. H. I really love their spamasubi and their miso soup. It reminds me of my high school days when people would sell spamasubi from their backpacks. The place has a few tables and chairs to sit on if you are looking to dine in or wait for your food. Cool thing about their service too is they have a buzzer for when your food is ready. Sometimes it takes a little long to get the food to come out but it's always hot and ready to eat when they do.“

“Sweet Potato Pizza is awesome and Frisx Chicken with Korean Sauce is really delicious! Two Thumbs Up!“

“Galbi, Corn Cheese, and Soju just make the perfect night out ! Kko Kko Yang is literally the hidden gem for amazing Korean BBQ in Gardena! I can't believe I only found out about this place recently and I've lived in Southbay LA all my life! We got their brisket and galbi which was so tender and delicious. They have so many good sides such as their steamed egg, soybean soup, kimchi pancake, and banchan, and we even ordered some refreshing cold noodles on the side. My favorite part was pouring the corn cheese in the galbi and letting it sizzle on the grill! This place is known for their gopchang, aka intestines, but they have so many unique cuts of meat here to grill! We tried their gopchang, daechang, abomasum and beef heart as well, and the staff really knows how to cook these cuts! Nothing was overly chewy and it's hard to find places that can do this right. Definitely recommend checking them out the next time you want a delicious and different KBBQ experience!“

“Found this place by accident! We went to another place for Korean bbq but the menu didn't look great so we did a quick google search and found this hidden gem! The service was great and everything came out do quickly! I got the soup & my partner got the galbi that came with a small soybean soup. Everything was super flavorful and I think we both agreed that we must visit this place again of we're craving a comforting meal.“

“Husband and I went out for a late night snack while lodging at a nearby hotel. Food was good and atmosphere quite alright. They had all kinds of stuff on the menu. Restaurant was clean and the folks serving us were super nice. If you need anything just press the button. It’s the Korean way. We look forward to being back.“

“This place is a gem, I am so glad to have finally tried their food. There are lots of scrumptious options to choose from and right when I think I've made up my mind on what to get I spot the daily specials board. Mind you I did get in late for dinner so they were mostly sold out of their specials but I did not leave disappointed. The staff is friendly and very attentive, they make you feel like family. The chili is DELICIOUS! I loved it, I even took a pint of it home. Their poke is good, it was marinated with sesame oil and green onions. I also ordered a bento box and the somen salad and brocolli medley were the best parts. Overall a solid place to have a satisfying meal.“

“The dining experience at this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a delightful evening. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors that left me craving more. Additionally, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met promptly. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food and service.“

“For the ultimate Korean-Chinese dining experience in South Bay, look no further. Dive into authentic Jja Jang Myeon and Jjam Ppong at this must-visit establishment. Whether you're new to Korean cuisine or a seasoned foodie, it's the perfect starting point. Don't miss out on trying the Gan Jja Jang--it's a rare find with its smoky wok flavor, generous portions of diced onions and squash, and a less oily consistency compared to traditional Jja Jang Myeon. Highly recommended!“

“A hidden treasure. If you like eating at tofu, house, this place beats the food in every category. Stir fried spicy pork is the best I have ever had and the spicy cold Gochujiang noodles were outstanding. A little hole in the wall with an older couple tuning out some of the most authentic Korean food in the city. Limited seating but eat in if you can. Fresh is best!“

“This was an excellent find for some fantastic wings. They are something special. Only thing is… I crave and cannot live without extra extra spicy hot wing sauce and they had not one recipe of Buffalo sauce!!! NOT ONE. So… instead on cancelling my order I shimmied over to Wing Stop and ordered a couple sides of atomic sauce and what a combo. Bomb chickens crispy chicken wings paired with the atomic sauce was so perfect. I had the white rice and cabbage. The cabbage which is like an Asian inspired Cole slaw was bomb too. The crispiness of BOMB Chickens Crispy wings that are delicious through and through dipped into the atomic sauce were a marriage made in heaven!!! Bomb chicken if you’re reading this MAKE SOME SPICY BUFALO SAUCE IN A MILD AND HOT OPTION WITHOUT ANY SWEETNESS! It’s illegal to sell fried wings without HOT SAUCE. Wth“

“I lived in S Korea for two years and lived for my next meal in that beautiful country. Eating at Hwang's was like being back in Korea. if you have never had Korean food, this is the place for you to start. If you love Korean food this is one of your best choices.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“Great service, atmosphere was upbeat and plenty of great food to cook up! Get there early s because place was packed when I left.“

“Love their menus.. spicy.“

“muy bueno, se los recomiendo y el personal es muy amable.“

“Ordered 3 combo specials, the (#55) bimbimbap with vegetable in a hot pot and LA Galbi, (#56) bimbimbap with vegetable in a hot pot and beef bulgogi, and (#64) grilled fish and kimchi stew. The bimbimbap was an ideal portion if you have an average appetite, delicious and served hot in clay pots. If you have a larger appetite, I would recommend adding other dishes. I would recommend filling up on all the banchan (side dishes) as there are a diverse amount of dishes served. The galbi was well seasoned and marinated with the right amount of chewiness. The bulgogi was a bit dry so add some of the optional spicy sauce to give it an extra kick. The location is moderately busy during lunch on weekends, parking is plenty in the plaza area. Service is really nice and quick.Parking: Not a large plaza but plenty of parking available for your visit“

“Probably the best sulungtang place in South Bay. We loved JinKook Sulungtang but it closed down couple of years ago. This is the best place we found since~ The only negative is that their radish kimchi is inconsistent in taste.. one day it's sour, one day it's sweet.. Other than that, great service and love the soups~“

“Love all this good, green beans are the best“

“Venturing into the Korean noodle restaurant was an absolute delight for noodle enthusiasts like myself! From the moment you step inside, the tantalizing aroma of simmering broths and savory spices fills the air, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu boasts an impressive selection of noodle dishes, from the classic kimchi to the fiery and flavorful kagooksoo. Each dish is a work of art, expertly crafted with attention to detail and bursting with authentic Korean flavors. The noodles are cooked to perfection - springy yet tender - and the broths are rich and deeply satisfying. The restaurant's ambiance is both vibrant and cozy, making it the perfect spot to indulge in a comforting bowl of noodles. With friendly staff and efficient service, the Korean noodle restaurant is a true gem for anyone seeking a taste of Korea's rich culinary tradition.“

“We went there today for lunch.Omg.. this place is absolute must try!I am born and raised in Korea so I know the difference between just regular Korean restaurants to an authentic home-made restaurant. This place rocks!Just like the taste I remember how my grandma used to make!!I already see so many Korean people here. They must know like I do!!“

“Great sandwich, friendly staff“

“The food and service was very good“

“I went here for a late Latino/Hispanic Mother’s Day as my grandma and mom wanted to try a Korean BBQ and I have never been either. After we were sat, we explained we had never been and what they recommended. They were excited to help us out with recommendations and brought a little of a lot of food. They were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon!“

“First time back since the remodel. Prices have gone up. They used to be like $12 a person but now they are $23.99 a person. Food wise it is still delicious and simple. We always get the brisket, beef bulgogi, and beef belly. Easy and simple choice with rice paper. So, if you are around the Gardena area looking for a quick bite and craving kbbq then Furusato might be a good option for you!! #AndrewApproved ????“

“This is my absolute favorite place to come eat for my lunch break with my boyfriend.The lunch special Galbi with the seafood Soon tofu is our favorite, it comes with the hot black stone rice and all the food is fresh ans sizzling out of the kitchen.Our waitress is attentive and courteous always making sure we have enough kimchi and side dishes.“

“Was really craving bossam and came across Yuk Dae Jang which had great reviews for it! We came around 6pm on a Friday night and was seated right away. The location is pretty small so I can imagine it getting pretty busy with a wait on the weekend. Staff was friendly and attentive, no complaints here.Hubs and I ordered a medium premium bossam with icy naengmyeon noodles, and it was SO SO DELICIOUS! Loved the banchan served with the meal, especially the chives. Their kimchi was the perfect addition to the meal. We also ordered their pork and chive dumplings that you could definitely tell were made from scratch. The size of the meal was perfect split between two people. But I do have to say that I wish I skipped on the noodles and just did a large order of the bossam instead. It was that good!Definitely a must try spot for their bossam and soups!“
