Korean Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose

“Cute place. Lovely staff. Neat atmosphere. When you walk in through the humble entryway, you're immediately greeted by a welcoming smile and a hello. We were asked if we wanted to dine or order takeout. Dining in offers you seating options up the stairs into the the room you can see to through the open wall at it's floor level. I found it quite enjoyable being able to see into the room above. Very cool style. You order, then you eat. You pay at the end. My friends and I were treated well and wished a happy holiday. So thoughtful!If you're looking for something new, try here!“

“Just tried their Yang Ji Seolleongtang and it was delicious, with generous servings of broth and meat. Nice that I can find great Seolleongtang in my hood without having to go all the way to Ktown for it! The ahjuma who waited on us was nice and professional, and told me to be sure to try their do ga ni (ox knee) soup next time, which I definitely will. FYI the hours say they open at 10:30 but actual food service does not start until 11. Definitely recommend!“

“Good food! Good people! I highly recommend!!! I will definitely come again~“

“I got the Breathtaking Beef Galbi box - the meat is flavorful, the rice is cooked well & the perfect portion, and it also comes with a little salad which was also great. I also ordered a side of roasted kimchi (because kimchi is a must for me lol) which tastes amazing with some meat and rice. Gotta get the perfect bite :) Overall, I had a nice experience here - the food was great & the employees were very friendly!“

“Finally got the chance to try this dessert place after always passing by. I got the pure milk soft serve and 3 pieces of taiyaki in custard and red bean. The soft serve is a nice texture and it's very soft. The milk is a bit too sweet, in my opinion. And you can self serve on several toppings for the soft serve. The taiyaki is very good, just wish that it is a bit more crispy. They give a generous amount of filling inside the taiyaki. Inside is a small place. They only have a bench and a couple of stools. Overall, a great dessert place!“

“Joseon is an excellent choice for a great date night in Silverlake, Los Angeles. The "less is more" ambiance is favorable, the music is not loud so conversations come easier, the staff is attentive, and the food is pretty special. The name gives the impression of a golden era of Korean dining, and an experience designed for royalty, and we definitely felt that throughout the night. My partner and I started with a cocktail/mocktail because they sounded unique (and they were). We ordered a 7 course and a 5 course, thinking that we could try to get a good variety when there were two options for some of the courses. We opted for wine flight pairing as well, and were surprised how well selected the options were. I'd recommend that a party of 2 orders the same number of courses, however, because we didn't always both get a course. We shared about everything though, so it ended up being fine. Also, knowing the process to expect for a 7 course meal will make a difference in how you appreciate the timing. Courses are spaced out by anywhere from 15-25 minutes, so expect to be in the restaurant for at least 2-2/12 hours, or more. We were at our table for just short of 3 hours, but we also talked with the staff a bit while enjoying an espresso with dessert. This kind of timing, in this context, is a good thing, because it means that the kitchen doesn't have a bunch of plates being pre-made then waiting to be delivered by wait staff who also have other tables to attend to. The chef freshly prepares each dish for your specific table, and then it's presented immediately. That makes for a top quality dining experience, where each of these dishes was not only a work of art but also presented for enjoyment, just as the chef and their team intends. We enjoyed the 7 courses! I think our favorite was the Braised Stew with Sea Bass, and the Rice Cake dish with Zucchini Blossom. The Sea Trout Tartare was also a nice way to start the meal. The aromas coming off many of those dishes was memorable. The dessert they brought wasn't on the menu, and came complementary for us, I don't know if they typically charge for dessert. One was some fresh cantaloupe with a special sweet sauce (they called it a palate cleanser), and one was an amazing rice pudding creme brûlée, it was an outstanding way to finish our evening. We will be back, next time we'll make it a double date!“

“I love this place - everything from the 90° seats, to the timeless Christmas decor (cuz they surve ice so it kinda works) . Their shaved ice was NIIIIice to say the least (pun intended). Super funsies texture and the mint on top was extra tasty. Unsure if it was washed but def still top notch. - my friend B3N“

“The reviews are not wrong. For a nice break from the Walk of Fame this place is perfect! Had a poke bowl and a green jasmine iced tea w/ mango and they were delicious and hit the spot! The host at the counter was nice too and the music is relaxing.“

“We ordered our food TO GO * phone order - already ready by the time we got there * friendly service * food was delish * love the packaging One thing that's difficult of this location is ample parking for the space of customers inside. Ordered: - two soondae soup - two galbi soup The food was delish! It was hot even when we arrived home with the food. One thing we loved about this location was their packaging! Everything was sealed (like boba drinks) heat sealed. From the soup to all the ban Chan - side dishes were all sealed. This really was amazing to secure all food from spilling and smell reeking out in the car Loved the service here - the workers all spoke English so it's easily accessible for all customers. Will definitely come again!!“

“Visited Cafe Jane on a Tuesday around noonish. There was ample seating available and the wait time for our food to come out was very minimal. The americano was deliciously bold and my mom was delighted by their mocha. We shared two entrees: the breakfast sandwich and the orange french toast. The breakfast sandwich had really fluffy soft scrambled eggs and the brioche was a nice bite. The French toast was OuT oF tHIs WoRLd! - loads of citrus and balanced with the subtle sweetness of fried bananas. Will be back to try their rice bowls. Overall score: ?/?.“

“Love their food. And I am picky about my Korean food... everything is good, but if I had to pick a few- their tuna kimbap, beef bulgogi, and spicy pork. I've never eaten in the restaurant- always picked up to go. Support small family businesses! (Sorry I didn't take any pics...we dug in too fast)“

“Food was good but heavy! This is a loud restaurant and is good if you're wanting a bar style environment with food and drinks. Hence the name - pocha. One of the owners or managers was walking around checking on customers which was so nice. Overall, I enjoyed the food and service was decent but it was a little too heavy for me so I probably won't return.“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“AMAZING service!!! The meat was so fresh and delicious! We are visiting from Chicago and this impressed us so much!! Come for the food stay for the service!! Thank you so much SOH Grill house!“

“No frills teriyaki spot. The entrance was confusing. It looks like a glass storefront but it's an automatic sliding door that isn't very sensitive or quick. So you need to stand there and then it will open after a short delay. Service was quick, food was decent. Price is fair for Pasadena.“

“OMG! Soooo Gooodddd! Don't go anywhere else, this place is legit, and it's tasteful. 100 percent quality teriyaki done right, not over cooked, or undercooked. No scrappy meat, or odd ball rice and noodles. Very good tasting and very delicious from beginning to end.I am definitely saving this spot and will be coming back for many more! Parking is a challenge, so order ahead or plan it right to get your food. Other than that, the lady this morning was extremely helpful and courteous for a 1st time visit that superseded my expectations!Thank you!!“

“We were recommended to try their wings.. We love wings and always looking for some juicy savory wings. WELL THIS IS IT!! The wings are deep fried and that crispy fried OMG! Last week was our first time trying and I tried the Hot wings!!! Omg y'all they were amazing!! The sweat and sour sauce!!! Ohhhhh yes! Well anywho.. you must try them... you will not be disappointed! I see why they kept insisting or us to come. I needed more wings in my life and decided to go today. I had spicy galbi wings! Great flavors and again fresh and crispy!! The Lichee Black Tea is my favorite as well. The service is great, very helpful and very nice service. All is clean and neat. Love it and will continue to visit to keep trying all flavors!! Give them a try they will not disappoint!“

“I have eaten the pho here twice and have been impressed both times. The food is fresh, delicious and the portion is good. This is one of my favorite pho places in this area. They are never too crowed when I visit for lunch and the atmosphere is wonderful. It is privately owned and the service is great! Definitely recommended!“

“The best Korean food I've ever had in LA. The food portions are extremely generous and the galbijim came with a ton of meat. The flavors of the soups are amazing. Really great service and super clean place overall. Had no problem finding street parking.“

“This establishment came highly recommended by our Korean friend who had lived nearby awhile back. Excellent food and large portions!!“

“Ohana BBQ is my comfort Hawaiian food spot on Ventura Blvd. They stand out among the others because it's Hawaiian dishes with Korean BBQ. Every time my wife and I go , the gentleman who takes the phone orders is also the one ringing us up and he's so pleasant each time. My favorite item on the menu is the japchae with short rib. They're also very generous with the teriyaki and hot sauce which is a plus. Also the wall of celebrities who've dined there is such a great touch!“

“WE LIKE SPICY!!! And now we found a Myung Ga even closer to us. FELT LIKE A WINNER as soon as we walked in!!! Same no frills, chill vibe as their Arcadia location. Just all about the food. Bubbly, spicy cauldron of ribs and glass noodles in their spicy galbitang. Huge, meaty chunks of pork in their gamjatang. And their KIMCHI!!! Plus all the utensils, napkins and even toothpicks are in this convenient drawer at each. Condiments, water and tea ready at the table. We already want to come back!!!“

“Good food! Good people! I highly recommend!!! I will definitely come again~“

“Stood the test of time! Was in their neck of the woods and swung by to see if they're still serving up teriyaki goodness and was pleasantly surprised they still have the same friendly cook and setup as it was in the 90's. Somehow salt and pepper have found its way up on top of his head as it has mine, and it hasn't lessened the tasty consistency of the food he delivers. Generous portions of their staples with rice and noodles is as good as ever! The only sour thing about the place are their prices. Of course they won't survive should they have kept their fees in the $4/5 range. Quite reasonable to this day.“

“Definitely unique and a class of it's own. The pizza was delicious. The Chef's know what they are doing. Service was on point and great hospitality. The place was nice and clean. Great vibe! Small and awesome! My little human loved the pasta!“

“In Hollywood for the night and I searched TikTok for food nearby. MGD was the first place that popped up and it happed to be walking distance from where I am staying. Great service, great meat selection and one of the best appetizer sections I’ve seen at a KBBQ spot. Definitely would come back!“

“Five stars for the pork chop, it was crispy and delicious! Another five stars for the tender brisket! Five MORE for the quick seating! Five more stars for the quick food (only took seven minutes) and five more stars for the big portions! This is Angelo, Anjela's son who is reviewing. Overall, I would give this one hundred stars if i could!“

“Go-to and favorite sushi place in and around LA! The ?? citrus salmon roll is just perfect and I love the spicy tuna crispy rice too. Staff is always super nice and orders always come out consistent and on time. Will definitely visit more and can't wait to try everything else on their extensive menu!“

“Very good food! After eating millions of Korean barbecue family decided to try something different and it’s totally worth it. Only complaint is the chopsticks, which is very flat and heavy, makes it very hard to use. And I’ve been using chopsticks since I was born ?“

“Was in the area and wanted to eat some Korean but didn’t want to spend too much and randomly found Chicken Day. Their menu prices looked reasonable so gave it a try. Really happy with our decision to eat here. The kimbap was made fresh and if only have eaten the refrigerated kimbap, there is no comparison to fresh. The potato wedges were surprisingly delicious as well and of course the main course was crunchy on outside and juicy inside. So overall the food was exactly what we were looking for…good comfort food and decent prices. We did eat inside but seemed like many people order for take away. But there is ample seating inside of you want to eat your food fresh ?“

“I really love the place today! My mom have been really wanting to come here for awhile so we finally took her here for mothers day and it was amazing!!! All the meats we got to try were perfect, which is great cause she has the worst luck with food but it went really well here! Servers kept checking up on us and refilling even did small talk with my mom in korean. Overall 10/10. Definitely would come back here!“

“If you like the style of cooking then this spot is for you. Pricey but big sized pieces. Cooked after ordering so there is a little wait. Good variety of flavors that I wish I could try more of but alas, the style of cooking/ food is not for me“
