50 Best Korean Restaurants near Carson

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“First, I notice it's not flame brolier.
The portions are bigger. However, you can get your own sauce. They gave 2 small tiny teriyaki for a works bowl. Then, I was charged for extra sauce. The 2 she gives is not enough. You usually can put the sauce on yourself. Not here they give 2 per bowl.“

“muy bueno, lo recomiendo al 100, comida koreana.“

“🔥 5 stars 🔥

Tried the Bulgogi Burrito at Marinate Korean BBQ and it was seriously 🔥! The beef was super tender and packed with flavor — savory, a little sweet, and really satisfying. Loved that they use fresh veggies 🥬 and gluten-free grains 🌾, so it feels lighter but still really filling.

The marinade is on point 👌 and you can tell they use good quality ingredients. Plus, it’s such a fun twist on Korean BBQ — perfect for grabbing on the go 🚶‍♂️🌯.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for something tasty and different. Can’t wait to come back and try more! 😋“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“I was really craving the jokbal I used to eat in Korea, and this place delivered exactly that taste! The meat was tender and chewy, perfectly seasoned—just like back home. The kind and considerate service from the staff made the experience even more enjoyable. The kongguksu (soybean noodle soup) had a rather mild flavor, not particularly rich, but it was decent and ordinary.“

“I have been going here for a while. Food is consistently good. The owners are very kind. Food is not salty but flavorful but just in case you want it salty they do have salt and pepper on the table. My girlfriend and I love to choose number two and number three in the menu.“

“Must visit this place. I had half and half fried and marinated chicken with Tteokbokki, pasta and fried dumplings etc. I was not able to find a good korean fried chicken place for a long time and this place is the best. Also try the pasta and spicy rice cake as my teenage girls loved them. Must visit again soon to try the other menus as well such as the Army soup as that is also one of my favorite korean dishes. The owner is really nice as well!“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“This BBQ chicken is great, especially the Honey Garlic. So crispy and the garlic bold flavor and smell is really delicious, you will want more. I personally prefer boneless over the wings, but the two options are great and totally worth it. Enjoy your visit and you'll come back for more. There is enough parking spots around“

“Best Korean restaurant in the LA or South Bay area if you’re looking for authentic home style Korean cooking! Menu has a good variety of dishes that are cooked so good 😋 Small place but food and service is fantastic. They have the best banchan(side dishes). Check it out when in Gardena you won’t be disappointed.“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“Me and the family came here during the week to try something new. Saw the food and menu and thought let’s do it.

Came in and got seated right away. Inside looks great with a lot of room and the staff was very friendly.

After looking over the menu, we picked more items than we thought we could handle. But all of it was amazing.

We ordered TTEOK BOKKI with ramen and cheese. Tasted great. Great texture and taste

Come with the Korean Style Spicy chicken. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and a hint of spice that gives it a great flavor.

Lastly we ordered the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. Just as the chicken, amazing. Spicer than the chicken by a tad but amazing taste

We ordered rice with it which probably why we didn’t finish half of the portions of each dish. The employees felt we didn’t like it but we took it home to eat again the following day!

Must try in the Gardena area. :) thank you!“

“We got the duck combo plus the table-side fried rice and it was quite hefty. Can probably feed a good 4-5 people. The duck is grilled with potatoes, rice cakes, mushrooms, garlic & chives and the combo of everything works well and takes away from the usually gamieness associated with duck. The bean paste dipping sauce was probably my fave. The kimchi fried rice was pretty serious as it even had japchae in it. Combo also includes kimchi pancake, steam egg, corn cheese, bean paste soup. Definitely not your typical Kbbq spot, in a good way, and I dig that they specialize in things like duck and intestines, which I'll be trying on my next visit. Bonus points too for being close by in the South Bay where I live.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“Best Korean chicken in the area hands-down. More of a bar vibe. Snow cap is a must. Fried chicken, but not oily. It’s the best. Sweet potato fries, waffle fries so awesome. Bluemoon pitcher and we called it a night.Weekday happy hour specials. Sorry forgot to take a pic.Can’t wait to go back!

Parking: Parking on side instead of in front has more options“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“I was thrilled to discover this restaurant, especially after all the Korean sashimi spots in South Bay closed down. I’ve visited multiple times and sampled a variety of dishes—including my absolute favorite, the halibut sashimi. Every dish I’ve tried has been packed with quality flavor, making it hard to choose just one favorite.

They specialize in Korean traditional comfort food, and it’s a treat to explore the different offerings. The owners—a husband and wife duo—cook and serve everything themselves, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like visiting family. They genuinely enjoy chatting with customers and always make sure you’re satisfied.

The halibut sashimi stands out not only for its taste but for its freshness—they catch it live from the tank right before serving. The restaurant’s name, “Jagalchi,” is meaningful too: it’s named after the famous fish market in Busan, South Korea, and symbolizes marine life, especially fish.“

“Stopped by here from LAX craving Korean food and was very impressed. This place has authentic, delicious Korean food, and their side dishes are amazing! We ordered their bossam combos with kimchi jjigae and soybean soup, which was a great value. Highly recommend!!“

“Love to eat here . People are friendly. Hit the spot ! Thank you“

“I had an amazing experience at this family-owned Japanese restaurant! The chicken bowl I ordered was incredible. The meat was perfectly cooked, savory, and juicy. You can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere made the meal even better. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!“

“Stopped by Jang Su Jang in Torrance and the place was bustling, with only a few tables open for dine-in.

Ambiance (4/5): Lots of natural light mixed with warm-toned lighting creates a cozy and homey feel. The restaurant has plenty of space, with tables for both small groups and larger parties of up to 8. It was lively and loud inside, but in a good way—exactly the kind of noise level you’d expect at a thriving Korean spot. Beautifully decorated and welcoming.

Food (4/5): I ordered the Jangsu Bossam, which came with rice and two portion sizes of banchan. Everything was well-seasoned, with the cucumbers being the standout—crisp, fresh, and addictive. The bossam itself was flavorful and generously portioned (marketed for 2 but easily feeds 3). We also tried the bibimbap, which was satisfying and nicely done. Overall, both dishes were good, though not quite unforgettable.

Service (4/5): Since we ordered to go, I didn’t get the full dine-in experience, but ordering was quick, friendly, and efficient. I’ll update if I get the chance to try table service next time.

Overall: Solid Korean food in a cozy, busy setting. Worth returning to, though maybe not a place I’d find myself craving often.“

“We've been here a few times. We have enjoyed it and feel the staff is good and take care of you.

Parking: The parking lot is large but this restaurant is busy and Scardinos, another popular place, restaurant is in the same strip mall. I've had to drive a loop a couple times each time we've come.“

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

“Portion sizes here are undefeated. You get so much chicken in the small bowl. The grilled chicken is juicy and hot with a unique teriyaki sauce that steals the show. I really like their short grain rice as well. Great post-workout meal.

I used to frequent the Long Beach location and this spot tastes exactly the same thankfully. Area is a little rough but the store itself is clean and inviting.“

“This is an excellent place to get restaurant quality katsu at a very reasonable price. I had the tonkatsu combo. It came with soup, cabbage salad, steamed rich, and a delicious katsu sauce. The cutlet was perfectly cooked, and the breading was light and crispy, as it should be.“

“Came here last night with My Family and all I can Say the Owner or Server we had there was amazing she genuinely gave us the greatest customer service we can ask for and all the food we ate was so delicious...I Will recommend this place 100% ☺️🙏❤ #MayGodBlessthisbusiness #littlefamilyowned ☺️❤“

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

“A Refreshing Change from Korean BBQ

This Korean restaurant offers something different—delicious noodle soup with seafood instead of the usual BBQ.

The taste is absolutely on point—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

Highly recommended to try!“

“Korean BBQ all you can eat. Pretty good, haven't been here in awhile...... used to be very cheap, now it's $25/person. Kids 5-7, $10. 8-11, $16. But most places have gone up since covid. No galbi here, just bulgogi, brisket, spicy pork, pork belly, chicken, and beef belly (thin sliced short rib). Not a whole variety but these are the main meats.“

“I can honestly say this barbecue chicken was perfection from the first bite to the last. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked all the way through without losing any of its natural flavor. The smoky aroma hit me before I even took a bite, and the sweet-tangy BBQ sauce clung to every piece like a delicious glaze. It had just the right balance of char on the outside for that satisfying grill taste, without being overdone.

Every bite was a mix of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet, making it clear that whoever prepared it knows their way around a grill. Paired with a side of fresh cornbread and coleslaw, it was the kind of meal that makes you want to come back for seconds… and thirds.

If you’re looking for barbecue chicken that’s flavorful, tender, and cooked to absolute perfection, this is it.“

“(Translated by Google) The catering overall was delicious and neat. Especially kimchi and fruit salad. Japchae. Tricolor is the best!!?(Original)캐더링 전체적으로 맛있고 정갈했습니다. 특히 겉절이 김치와 과일 사라다. 잡채. 삼색전 최고에요!!?“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“I’ve had kimbap before, but I bought the prepackaged ones from grocery stores. I thought they were okay. Then I watched Kpop Demon Hunters and saw Rumi sniffing and swallowing a whole roll, and was like, “Am I missing something?” So my search for freshly made kimbap landed me here.

I was hesitant to go to the Ktown location, and made the 90 minute drive to the Torrance location. At first glance the kimbap looked like any other kimbap. Just with a slightly nicer presentation. But the smell radiating from my to-go bag was permeating my car. The scent of roasted sesame oil. I had to try one before making my long drive back home. It was, in short, very delicious. I can see why Rumi was shoving it down her throat.

I bought the beef and tuna kimbap. The beef had a nice savoriness. While the tuna had a creaminess to it. Both were delicious, but I liked the beef more.

I also just finished my order of tteokbokki, as I’m writing this review. It was spicy, umami, chewy, and paired well with the adobo rice I made. Yes, we are expert big backs over here.

Overall, I really liked their kimbap. Next time I’ll go to their Vermont location since it’s closer 🤤“

“Haven’t reviewed in a while but these place deserves a really good one 💜the food was delicious and the staff are really friendly from someone that has been discouraged for having a family of 6 they made us feel really welcomed”
Hope to come back soon !!!“

“Highly recommend this Catering Place!
The taste is way beyond great! I also want to THANK "JOY" Catering for delivering all the way out to City of Industry and our staff are looking forward to LUNCH everyday! We are very fortunate to find "JOY" Catering!!!“

“I travel far ... just to have my pre birthday lunch.. thank you so much for such courteous attention and most delicious food 😋“

“A nice restaurant for Korean comfort food. The bibimbap was good. It feels less Americanized than most restaurants, which was a good thing. We were a bit sad that the samgye tang didn’t have ginseng in it. I think it might be in the broth when they cook it but we usually get the real ginseng our dish too when ordering this. Overall, the taste was good.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Amazing little Korean mom and pop shop in Gardena. The whole restaurant has maybe 4 tables, and when we got there for an early-ish lunch on Saturday, there were no other patrons. The auntie and uncle were very kind and brought us tea and banchan quickly, but the star of the show was the food. Delicious soup that came out quickly along with rice (choice of white or brown) and banchan. Portion sizes are huge!! Definitely get your money's worth here. The parking lot is pretty small and shared with a couple other restaurants. Heads up, the restaurant storefront signage is in Korean only. Will definitely be back to try some other soups!“

“Wonderful experience! I have been very satisfied with Hansol Noodle.
The staff are very friendly, and the food is high quality. Each and every soup has its own unique variety of flavors, smells, textures, and styles. There's so many different things to try, you won't soon get bored here! The food comes out hot and carefully made to provide you the best experience possible! There's plenty of seating, plenty of parking, and a wonderful grocery to shop at before or after you eat! I encourage you to give it a try!
10/10 would recommend, I will return!“

“Amazing service. Their food is hit or miss. The tofu kimchi is amazing. I definitely didn’t like their chicken feet though. Still, the lighting is very nice. They don’t charge extra for rice, so you can order rice to have along with your dish.“

“This place is insane value. The sandwich ingredients are fresh and the chicken is very crispy. My second time going and it’s just as good as the first time.
If you like spicy the sauce is perfect numbing flavor. I already want to go back and can’t wait to try the other menu items.
Also if you like purple yam the Goguma latte is very creamy/rich and refreshing.
The owners are so nice and friendly- I’m surprised this place isn’t packed. Look forward to trying again soon.“

“We ordered 2 jalapeno kimbap and 2 beef bulgogi kimbap and they gave us 4 little spicy soups that I thought was miso at first but it's not it's a delicious bean sprout jalapeno soup. So good and spicy 😍 The owners were so nice and asked our daughter if she wanted to take a book home 💚 definitely have to go back for a date night with hubby and try their other items“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“So happy to find this Korean restaurant in Long Beach! The fried chicken is truly amazing! My favorite is the original, but the sweet and spicy is also really good! And the bulgogi had a totally authentic flavor; goes great in the burrito, bowl, and on fries. The workers are also always very friendly. Will definitely be back many times!“

“Nice selection. Good quality“

“After just one week, I am eating so much food...
I loved the skin scuba trip we had together in La Paz, Mexico... We stopped by a Korean restaurant while waiting at the airport. The atmosphere and service were great...
Thank you, boss. I had a good time... haha“
