9 Best Korean Restaurants in San Gabriel

“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!“

“My former colleague from Daycare job and I met up here to dine in on Dec/5/23 on my day off. What delish treats these Korean Rice Plates are!!!! Customer service was topnotch and right off the bat when we were having a hard time deciding if we wanted to fetch their Holiday Korean Dumpling deal at $29.99 for a frozen bag and 4 packs of mixed and matched dumplings. I had to get me a set so my mom and I can reduce cooking time this holiday month of Dec/23. Anyways, I ordered their Korean Rice (Beef) plate to go, and that was huge and delish, good enough for 2 meals. I was only able to chow down half of it. This was our first time here, and we both had a fabulous time here. We will meet back here again next time visiting 'Manduyo,' Authentic Korean Cuisine. Even your side salad dish that was included in the plate was all fresh: there was nothing bitter from any piece of salad veggies I ate. I'll be back on my next shift!!!!W2G, 'Manduyo,' of San Gabriel, CA. You had me at Hello.“

“I can't believe that I didn't write a review for A Ri Rang Tofu House because I've been there many times. It's still my go-to for Korean tofu soup. It's located in a busy strip mall so parking is an issue. Luckily we got a space downstairs at busy dinner time. It was windy and chilly that night so the restaurant was full when we got there. We waited about 10 minutes and we got our table. Their prices are not cheap and they increased a lot in recent years. We ordered the combo C8 (rice with assorted vegetables and beef in the hot stone pot plus a seafood tofu soup ($28.99), S4 Grilled teriyaki chicken ($26.99), and S8 Rabokki (rice cake, fish cake, ramen noodles, vegetables with spicy sauce) for ($18.99). The restaurant also offers side dishes (banchan) for free and you can ask for refills. The banchan was very addictive and we all liked the potato dish, broccoli, seaweed, and kimchi, etc. Service was okay that night maybe they were too busy. The Grilled teriyaki chicken was tender but the portion was smaller than before and the chicken meat was cut into small pieces. I still like my bibimbap hot stone rice but I wish the seaweed was more crispy and the beef was not cut into those tiny pieces though. My daughters like their rice cake dish but they could not finish it. Overall it was delicious and it was satisfying to have hot Korean food on a chilly night.“

“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 ?“

“Imma get straight to the point if u go here and u ain't in the soup mood this is what you get -- the expensive ass shareable sizzling boiling pot of all sorts of different types of meat that will melt in your mouth layered with seasoned soft potatoes and carrots and onions and most importantly tteotboki and probably more stuff. Cheese is an add on and costs more but worth it! They said it feeds 2-3 ppl but nah there was 5 of us and we still didn't finish it!!! Split amongst 5 people it was like 25 bucks per person worth it! Restaurant is small but cozy and kinda transports you to a village I like it! Service was fast and so friendly totally worth it. Also not to be weird the dude with the tatted arm was hot.“

“This place has great service, the parking isn't crowded, the atmosphere is pleasant and enjoyable to have dinner.The portions are huge as well. I was very surprised. A small would feed 2 people easy, cost is $59. Comes with pork rib soup, steamed egg, and dessert.“

“Awesome experience! Davey, our server was great, friendly and attentive! He was always nearby and whatever we needed, he was there to help with a smile. I have gluten, dairy n egg allergies, super hard to eat out especially at Asian restaurants. Davey patiently listened to me and asked the kitchen what i could eat! I am so grateful for his attentiveness! The food was great but i will go back just for the service!“

“A pretty solid ayce Korean bbq place with quality meat and side dishes. Everything was flavorful and delicious! I have not seen an ayce place that does the scallion pancake as a side dish, so seeing this here for the first time is definitely different. Service was pretty quick and the inside is also nice!“

“I absolutely love there boneless chicken wings. I got the half & half with Korean bbq & yangyeom sauce. I feel like it’s almost necessary to get extra sauce which is an additional charge added to the chicken but well worth it.Their draft beer is a good price with some great options. I look forward to ordering this again, it was delicious“
