11 Best Korean Restaurants in Chino Hills

“전반적으로 한국의 죠스떡볶이와 바르다 김선생과 같이 퀄리티와 위생에 신경쓰시는 노력이 너무 잘 보여지네요! 김밥과 떡볶이 분식들 모두 만족하고 먹고 갑니다. 더 대박나시길 바랄게요 :)“

“The food here is absolutely delicious. They serve truly authentic Korean cuisine, and the overall food quality is top-notch. You must try the Mul-Naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), and especially the LA Galbi. The short ribs are cut thick, cooked to perfection, and the quality is noticeably better than other places. If you want to experience authentic Korean food in Chino Hills, I highly recommend this spot!“

“I was really hyped about this place opening to add to the variety of Korean food around Chino Hills. Soonheene is very popular in South Korea which led me to add this place to my must try list of restaurants, they're known for their amazing street food and it didn't disappoint at all.

Staff were incredibly quick, attentive, and were very friendly in all aspects. Parking is plentiful, clean restroom, and a moderate amount of seating inside the restaurant. The interior is well maintained and just has good vibes when entering, there's also a TV on the wall that plays many variety shows to express just how popular this place is in South Korea.

1. We ordered their signature Tteokbokki and it comes in a decent amount of portions, a great shareable dish and very flavorful when it comes to the mix of sauce, rice cake, and fish cake. There's also a rose version which I also recommend. The Tteokbokki were savory and also not hard to crunch on, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable and addicting.

2. Another must try item is the Mayak Gimbap, comes in 8 pieces, another shareable dish. It's also very well made, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a decent appetizer to the main course.

3. The Oden Fish Cake Soup is also a classic street food signature dish to try. Highly recommend if you're a fan of fish cake, comes in a stick form which is a easy pick-me-up type food. Not too salty and is flavorful as well.

4. The Roasted Kimchi Pork Belly was the main dish we had as a shareable. I cannot fathom how well made this dish is made. The pork belly is super savory, chewy, and flavorful, mixes well with all the side garnishes and sauces.
Overall, Soonheene is definitely a good place for many occasions, dates, take out, and moderate size groups.

Decent prices for amazing quality food. They will always be my go to spot for amazing South Korean street food.“

“The food and the service are all very good! The server was very nice to us and our dog, oh yes they are super pet friendly restaurant.

The food not only taste are good also the potion are very big. It’s better to have 3-4 ppl to dine with!“

“We ordered a tofu soup and a pork cutlets. This place has an amazing spread for the amount we paid! The banchan was plentiful and hearty. The tofu soup was much heartier and thicker than a typical one - for me, this was a good thing (I like thick soup). The flavor was really good as well! Very fast about the service too. My partner and I were very full. If you want something much cheaper and probably healthier than all you can, come here!“

“food was good. so happy to find a Korean spot that's good around to SGV!“

“very good food with good price. The service is also good“

“I have been having love letter since high school like around Covid!! Love their sweet potato pizza! I’m not a pizza person but this is TOTALLY DIFFERENT!! It’s on the expensive side so I used to have to save up to get it but now I’m working so I get to eat as much as I wanttt!!!! Definitely worth it!“

“The food was amazing.
The service was on another level.
The vibes were immaculate.

First off, their menu is on definitely top notch. It's hefty, but they have an index in the back which shows all the pictures/descriptions of the food (amazing for any first timers). We ordered the dynamite steamed egg, kimchi cream pasta, cheese buldak chicken, and chicken gizzard stir fry. The steamed egg is definitely an upgrade from usual steamed eggs. It's super fluffy and is the perfect start to any meal. I've been craving some korean pasta recently and couldn't find a decent place. Yet, this place does it right. Although I wish there was a bit more, the cheese buldak is that silent creeper in terms of spice but super delicious (tip: ask for rice so that you can mix it with the leftover sauce). The chicken gizzard stir fry is that perfect balance between chewy and savory. Definitely a fan.

The service was amazing. The owner/servers are super attentive and accommodating beyond words. We were sitting near the door and people were smoking outside, so he ended up constantly closing the door and opening to let our dining experience not be negatively affected. Unmatched. They really care about their diners.

It's a smaller place, so during events (WC) and weekends, it can fill up rather quickly. So, make sure to plan accordingly. It's definitely worth it. It's located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items. A+++!“

“I am obsessed with BB.Q Chicken! Their Olive Fried Wings and Kimchi Fried Rice bowl are simply perfect. Every dish is hot, fresh, made to order, and never left sitting. The customer service is outstanding! I always look forward to my next visit. Thank you, BB.Q Chicken—you are truly the best!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gen Korean BBQ is one of my favorite places to enjoy Korean BBQ. The price is reasonable, the meat is always fresh, and I find myself coming back regularly whenever I’m craving good beef.

One thing I especially appreciate is that they upgraded their chopsticks. They’re much more comfortable to use and don’t have the rough edges or splinters that some disposable chopsticks have. It’s a small detail, but it definitely improves the dining experience.

The only area that could use some improvement is the lunch service speed. Food can take a little longer to arrive during busy hours, but it’s understandable when a single server is handling a large number of tables. Hopefully they can schedule a few more staff members during lunch rushes to help speed things up.

Overall, great value, quality food, and a restaurant I will continue to visit.“
