Korean Restaurants near City Of Industry

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“I'm munching on their Crispy Ban Ban chicken with signature sauce as I type this. First time here tonight and Kayla took care of me. The options are many and I was too hungry to make any decisions so I just asked her to hook me up, and she did not disappoint!! Wish I knew of this place sooner, I'll be coming back over and over. Thanks Kayla“

“Picked up dinner for hubby. For a chain fast food restaurant it was consistent food wise. The gentlemen behind the counter were friendly.

Vegetarian options: You can order just veggies or add Tofu to the meal

Kid-friendliness: Smaller portion available for kidlets“

“First time to my sound chicken with friends the service was excellent , she (the Manager) is very friendly and helpful. The fired chicken are so good crunchy and the french fried so tasty. Definitely will come back highly recommend . A+++++“

“Yangmani Korean BBQ delivers an incredible dining experience with its high-quality meats and flavorful tofu soup. The marinated short ribs are tender and delicious, while the tofu soup is rich and perfectly spiced. The fresh banchan and attentive service make the meal even more enjoyable. For a cozy and satisfying Korean BBQ experience, Yangmani is a great choice!“

“A place where I could soothe my stomach with Korean food when I felt tired of American food.
There is a 90 minute time limit
You can freely order from the menu during any given time. However, the menu may be limited depending on the type of set requested.
While we were eating, we had birthday parties at 4 tables (including ours haha).
You can hear Kpop and taste a variety of meats in a lively atmosphere.
The waiting line may be long during meal times, so be sure to make a reservation before visiting.“

“GREAT food!!!! They're fairly new, so I hope they don't compromise on flavor later down the line. First, I had their small chicken katsu box. The second time, I had their new sweet chili shrimp katsu, and that was even better!!!!! Employees are always so friendly and for the quality of the food the price and turnaround time is worth it. Highly recommend“

“I am a first-generation Korean who visits Korea often. This place has become our go-to spot for Korean food (my husband who is 5th generation Californian).
- Tasty: Even my picky 80 years old uncle loves their food.
- Fresh ingredients: No frozen, no old ingredients
- They don't cut corners. For instance, one of favorite Korean dishes is stir-fried squid (calamari), which HamaHippo makes exceptionally well (try it with noodles if you can take gluten) - tasty and generous with the portion of squid. They close on Sunday but I needed to go out for a dinner, so I went to my former go-to Korean restaurant and ordered the same dish. Most of the dish was noodle with very little, not-well thawed squid. After visiting my former go-to Korean restaurant, I appreciate the food quality of HamaHippo even more. Another example, when you order Bibimbap, you will get variety of fresh, generous portion of vegetables.
- Super reasonable prices, especially considering how fresh the ingredients are.

Vegetarian options: I am a pescatarian. The owner says they can make any dish vegetarian-friendly, even vegan. For example, in my case, when I ordered Bibim Naeng Myun in a hot day, I asked if it was vegetarian. They usually use beef broth for the sauce but accommodated my dietary choice by bringing the beef broth separately, which my friend enjoyed. The dish was delicious.“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 5*

Stopped by here with a colleague. We ordered the $19.99 lunch special. He offered to give us a mix of all the different meats on this menu so we could try them. There are specific ban chan you can get like Kimchee, fish cake, potato salad etc. The service was great, very attentive, helpful and friendly. I will return with a larger appetite.“

“Shawn, the actual business operator is very professional, with a positive personality.
Every time I come to visit his establishment, he makes the chicken tender to its perfection, and his chicken is amazing...
He's got a home-style Cole Slaw that you'll love...
His menu has a large variety, and I guarantee you that the seasonings and the quality will be to your expectation!!!

Thank you Shawn...“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Oden soup is super delicious & not spicy which is original style- i am Japanese/Korean - because LA chef came this location??
Fried chicken smaller than LA Hanshin pocha so more good & yammy - in old Korean / Japanese style we prefer Hen rather than chicken. DIY rice ball so so good !! Tomato Eggs is also good( hard to make it in Home)but always tomato sauce side is better. I can’t eat spicy foods because Paik’s spicy foods r really spicy so not try with me.

Vegetarian options: Many Seafood menu but spicy

Parking: Lunch time weekday is ok
But dinner time & weekend crazy parking“

“The beefy gamjatang and the aged gamjatang are both delicious, so I always have a hard time deciding what to order. The bossam is very delicious and the side dishes, especially the garlic-flavored kimchi, are very delicious!!! It's a restaurant with delicious and healthy food :)“

“I came to hungry bull dog restaurant in diamond bar and it was soo good. I ordered a few dishes like the k style corn dog with pepper jack cheese and sausage, katsu with side of curry, bulgogi beef bulldog bowl, and lastly.. the kimchi fried rice. It was so much food and I loved eating inside their cute restaurant.“

“Ib is an incredible server and always is attentive to my table. He’s super friendly and made the night a good time. Food was great and soju was great as always. The vibe here is amazing and everyone should try it for sure! 100% recommend!“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“tasty!

A traditional Korean family restaurant, the side dishes can have a homemade flavor that is different from other restaurants.

The food was served slowly, and there was unlimited rice for free. I ordered two extra bowls of spicy fried pork rice! Delicious and filling“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“Great experience, for their soft-open! Very friendly and kind staff, clean dining area and restroom, & affordable menu. Staff is very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful

Vegetarian options: Tofu, fried rice, shiitake mushroom, egg, fries

Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“This is inside a food court with 3 Chinese food places, 1 Japanese, and 1 Korean place. Theres also a dried food place, a jeweler, and Coway and a slew of other strip mall stores. There’s plenty of seating to dine in. Theres also plenty free parking. The food is very good, healthy, tasty, fresh, and made to order for spicy levels. You get a raw egg to break into the bubbly hot soup and it cooks. And they add a lot of clams to the tofu soup if you ordered the clam one. This tofu clam soup is the best I’ve had because of the number of clam pieces (even when I ate most of the soup, there were still 10 clam pieces) and the soup base. For $15 for most of the hot tofu soup bowls w side dishes it’s a great meal and deal. I could eat here everyday! I appreciate food that tastes clean and fresh and Oma’s is it. They also give free cold and hot water (barley tea).

Vegetarian options: I love the vegetarian and seafood options and the side dishes are all vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: They will make it not spicy or less or more to taste

Parking: Free open parking“

“Nice little hidden lunch gem!

Popped in here for lunch on a Monday right about noon. One other person was waiting for their food so I was helped right away.

I ordered a spam musubi and the spicy chicken plate.

Musubi was up front hot and ready to go. Delicious as usual and not too much rice which I prefer!

Spicy chicken plate was delicious and actually had some kick. And it was so aesthetically pleasing!

Service was quick and friendly, too. Can’t wait to return here for lunch again!“

“The taste of the food in this place is really delicious, I have returned too many times and I never tire of trying the tofu soups that offer without a doubt the best place for you to choose to go to eat alone or with your family, the service is super nice I give it 10/10“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“This place has good Korean food. It's a good place to bring your family or friends. Your mother or grandmother will not complain about the food. They give large portions and the side dishes are really good. Services quick and very friendly. Not many people seem to know about this place which is kind of nice because you don't have to wait in line to get a table. There's plenty of parking in the back. Definitely I will come here again especially with my mom.“

“Food was good. It is the usual traditional broths and dishes (beef or pork). Pairs well with soju. Felt like a Korean restaurant with a 2k-ish vibe. I would prefer this over a combo anything at fast food places. By the way, if you are not familiar with Korean restaurants, check the side of the table for a drawer. Utensils are inside. If utensils are not brought to you, it is normally at the table.“

“Our family loves to eat Korean foods. This place is a good one because you have many choices to choose from. The portion is pretty big so you can share it. Good service, very clean and most of all the foods are delicious. I highly recommend it.“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant ever. The only thing I order, however, is the dumpling sundubu with added enoki mushrooms, extra spicy. I've never brought someone to this restaurant without them begging me the following week to take them again. Highly recommend. They also have another location in Chino Hills.“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Really, really good food. The pork ribs were amazing.“

“Soonheheene has amazing food! Every dish I’ve tried has been delicious, and the flavors are always on point. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a meal. However, I was a bit disappointed to find out they no longer make taiyaki. It was one of my favorites, and I always looked forward to it! I still love the food here, but I hope they bring back the taiyaki sometime soon.“

“Although the food menu is not extensive, the restaurant is famous for its delicious food. Korean hangover soup is probably the best in the OC area. It may be a very simple food, but it has a rich taste and a good feel. In Korea, having soup and a glass of soju with friends is a small culture.“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“If you want to drink Korean soup, this restaurant is definitely the first choice. It tastes very good. Although there are only four side dishes, they all taste good. The purple rice is also delicious. The highlight is definitely the big pot of beef bones, potatoes and Rice cake, tastes very good, but the price is a bit expensive“

“Just my daughter-in-law and me, spent our quality time well and satisfied. They were so delicious, except the pickles. We both planned to be back again.“

“Taste goodThis is one of the delicious Korean food restaurants. My favorite dish in this restaurant is the young radish kimchi. The young radish kimchi and soybean paste stew that are served as side dishes and complimentary throughout the year bring me here.Personally, I find various items on their menu tasty, including kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), grilled hairtail fish, and braised hairtail fish. Today, I enjoyed the pork bossam, and I would rate it three stars. It was rich and satisfying.One thing that disappointed me was that the jjanchi guksu (banquet noodles) I ordered for takeout two weeks ago, which I thought was on the menu, turned out to be a different dish. It was more like somyeon (thin wheat noodles) in kalguksu broth, not what I expected. It started with my misunderstanding, and I appreciate them trying to accommodate my request, but I was completely disappointed as it was a different dish. In my opinion, it would be better if they informed customers that what they requested isn't on the menu.This has been my favorite kalguksu place for a long time. Despite the name changing several times over 23 years, a five-star rating is more than enough.

Parking: The packing lot is always available.If, full paking lot. Use the back side parking lot.“

“This cute little place is amazing, authentic Korean BBQ and so much more! Tofu soup, banchan, various meats like Bulgolgi and boiled pork belly for wraps with lettuce, Napa and other lovely vegetables. Kalbi was so amazingly delicious! Complimentary seafood pancake served as an appetizer. You must try this! Oh and raw spicy marinated crabs. Exotic!



Parking: A small lot next to the restaurant, but a huge lot right next to the small one. We had plenty of great parking for our family.“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“Located on a less visited side of the plaza, there's this Korean restaurant that has fair prices food and portions.

Standard to all Korean restaurant, we were served with various side dishes which were pretty good flavor breakers for the food that was coming in.

We ordered a cold noodle dish, a Tripe/Brisket Glass noodle dish, and the premium bossam.

The staff was kind enough to inform us how to eat the premium bossam, providing lettuce to create a mixture wrap.

Alternating between the bossam and brisket was a easy break of flavor between the two, and you would quickly devour both in no time.

I wouldn't say there was anything in particular that stood out from this place, but sometimes you don't need a WOW place to eat at, and instead a quickly seated restaurant for some comfy food is all you need.“

“My go to everytime I visit my mom in Buena Park!! Fried chicken and Tteok-bokki are also VERY good!! I love the kimchi, cucumber kimchi, raw marinate crab, and pretty much the whole store. Customer service is always excellent!! The best and most wonderful family owned Banchan place. ❤️“

“Saemaeul Sikdang is a well-known franchise restaurant in Korea, and it also has a location in Buena Park. The quality of the meat is excellent, and the staff's attitude and service are outstanding. However, you should be careful as the restaurant floor can be a bit slippery due to the grease from the meat.

Parking: The mall is very crowded at night. Hard to find a parking“

“My favorite Korean restaurant that I recently discovered. Recommend the No. 1 spicy pork neck bone soup combo, the pork neck bone is stewed very soft. If you have never eaten soondae, you can try the No.41 sampler combo. This is my first time trying it, the taste is very special.“

“Come on Now! I hurt my mouth so the only thing I can eat was porridge. But where can I find porridge? I found it here after googling porridge… And it was fantastic. Not “the best” in terms of the fancy restaurant style of rice porridge (juk) but definitely more homey vibes version. Like how your mom or granny would make it.

The banchan (side dishes) were really fresh and a lot of variety. I’m going to try more menu items once my mouth heals.

This place has great comfort foods and classic korean foods most other places don’t have! More authentic. Not your basic trendy Korean spot.

Also, the lady who runs the register and serves is so kind. She is like the best Korean auntie. Just a kind soul.

I will bring my wife and our families (Lord willing)!

9/10“

“The food is plentiful, comes out quickly, and the taste is average.
But I think it’s only open in the afternoon.

The free popcorn was so soggy that I couldn't eat it, the tofu kimchi was too salty and sour, and the seasoned whelk seemed to have been under-mixed to the point where the sugar was chewy.
Still, it was plentiful because there were a lot of sea bream and dried dried pollack.
Altang is okay.“

“Had a great first experience dining at Lucky Pig. Food was amazing! We tried a variety of dishes from Hire Katsu, Ball Katsu, Omurice, and Katsu Sando. All items were outstanding! Service was great, and the restaurant was clean and well kept. We will be back! Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Looking for a late night AYCE KBBQ spot in OC? Gangnam Station is the one for you! From their amazing customer service to their quality meats! They have a wide selection and variation to choose from, not to mention their side & meat bar!! This is the perfect spot for late night grubs! Bring your friends and come hungry! ?“

“The food was really good, especially the spicy pork belly. It was the best meat I think. And their cilantro onion salad is really tasty too.

Staff is very kind and helpful and it doesn’t take long to get the attention of a server and get help as well which is awesome.

The only bad thing is ventilation. It gets really smoky eventually when it’s busy and the smoke stings your eyes a lot so it eventually got really uncomfortable. We asked if it was ok to open the back door we were next to in order to clear the smoke. They should just have the back door always open since their ventilation is having some issues unsure if it’s unable to keep up or what exactly but they should just keep the back door open and it completely solves the problem. I’d rather deal with my legs being chilly from time to time than my eyes burning and stinging and being unable to see

Kid-friendliness: I really appreciated that there are high chairs available and the staff was extremely kind and even though my baby made a mess throwing food on the floor when I went to go pick it up they told me it was ok that they sweep the floors anyway and I don’t have to do that. So it’s very family friendly and they have lots of food options that my 11 month old could eat too which was awesome since sometimes it can be difficult to find something that is baby friendly since he doesn’t have all his teeth“

“1. Chueotang is not as thick as in Korea, but it seems to be the best here.2. Loving pig's feet and even lettuce. However, it is not a jokbal full of scent of herbal medicine, octagonal or cinnamon. A kind of succulent-like, unscented feeling.3. The owner and the server are very kind.4. To be honest, I've never seen a Korean restaurant with this level of sound quality at this price.“
