49 Best Korean Restaurants near Claremont

“I drove all the way from LA for this AND IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT!!! the nice family working there was having dinner together and it was cute. They helped me save money by suggesting a combo instead. There arent any seats or public restrooms but the chickens so good i couldnt even be upset. Im happily eating this in my car right now“

“Wow! We came here to check out the ramen wall but ended up getting some bowls off the main menu instead. Tried the beef bowl and the wing bowl with spicy noodle and lemon pepper wings -- the rice was perfectly cooked and the meats and noodles where incredible. The servings are very generous as well, we both left stuffed.

The wait wasn't too bad considering everything was cooked fresh but apparently there's an order ahead option if you don't want to wait as long. They were playing good music and the noise level was such that we could hear each other but didn't feel like everyone was listening to our conversation.“

“I ordered from for the first time today and I must say that it was the greatest decision I made today! I ordered their Katsu sandwich and fries and it was delicious!

The bread was soft, the Katsu was crispy and full of flavor and most of all the coleslaw on the middle was sweet and tasty! The fries were the perfect side to it, they were cooked just right and they complimented the sandwich so well.

They also have a variety of drinks that can cater to everyone's tastes. Even though it ordered a coke today next time I will try the tea.

Hungry Bulldog House you have got yourself another customer that will be returning hungry for more on a different day!“

“Our Boss buys lunch for our monthly goal met. And this month he had the opportunity to try Soonheene. Highly recommend their Rice water is tasty and perfect sweetness. Like a verson of Horchata without the dairy. Thier chicken was super crispy as it should be n very flavored. Will definitely come with Family“

“I came here since I saw on their menu that they sell cheonggukjang ($15.99) and not alot of restaurants sell it since it has a strong fermented smell and taste, similar to natto according to the lady. I saw a video of a Korean vlogger eating it in a restaurant and I was curious. I had asked the lady for one and she strongly recommended me to get something more basic since I'm not Korean and the smell can be off-putting. I never grew up with this stew but I was willing to try. It got to the point another lady came out of the kitchen to see me eat the stew.

The wait time was not long, the lady gave me several banchans like kimchi, bean sprouts kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fishcakes, stir-fried potatoes, braised tofu, and purple rice. The stew came out piping hot, it was filled with chopped tofu, onions, and zucchini; super thick and chunky. It did have a strong smell and taste but it didn't bother me as I expected.

Place gives off old-school vibes, lots of older Korean people dining inside. The lady was nice, she was trying very hard to explain the stew to me. The parking lot can get packed, I went during the weekday so it was easier to find parking.“

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

“This side dish shop is the best I've ever been to. It tastes more Korean than Korea, and the quality of the kimbap in particular is sky-high. Keto kimbap without rice is new and healthy. This place has become a place I must visit every time I pass by.“

“This is a soondubu (spicy silky soft tofu soup) restaurant like BCD chain. You can order combo menu with a meat or fish entree with a version of soondubu soup. You can select the spicy level and toppings for the soup. I thought the soup is really good but the meat dishes except for the LA rib were too sweet. Ban Chan (side dishes) were just average. For Diamond Bar I think this outlet is fine. There is plenty of parking in the shopping mall lot.

Parking: Plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor with wheelchair ramp.“

“This is the place we went to have a quick bite when we moved to Diamond Bar 8 years ago and then we found so many other places to eat and almost forgot this restaurant. Recently we visited this place again, the menu is same except price a little higher. The quality of food are same but now they gave you disposable chopsticks instead of re-usable ones in the past. Other than that, not much change, always busy but the waiting time is tolerable. I like this beef BBQ rib combo with seafood tofu soup and they are good. They don’t have steak knife but so provide a pair of scissors and a small pair of tongs so that you don’t have to eat BBQ beef with just chopsticks.“

“Love it yummy food 🥘 good place to relax too 🍰💕“

“ATOYUBU Diamond Bar is my new favorite spot! The yubu pockets are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made every bite tastes amazing. The spicy tuna and bulgogi were standouts, and the presentation is top-notch. Staff are friendly, the space is clean and modern, and everything feels high quality. Perfect for a quick meal or takeout. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I share a meal, the hot stone bibimbap and tofu soup is our goto. The food is delicious. There are many popular dishes we see people eating. There is typically a wait at dinner time. Lunch is a little less crowded but busy too“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and every bite was packed with flavor. The ambience was warm and welcoming.

The staff were super attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed.

This restaurant is a must-visit if you crave Korean food!“

“✨Who knew that seaweed rice balls would be the star of the meal?✨ You can expect every table to order that @yupddukdiamondbar amongst the many incredibly comforting dishes here🫶🏼

First time trying Korean comfort food or don’t know what to get? Order this lineup and thank me later:

🥚Omelette Rice
🐷Pork Cutlet
🍗Chicken feet
🍙Seaweed Rice ball
🍲Beef bulgogi stew“

“Best duck in the Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills area. We always order duck served 3 ways - soup, sliced peking duck with thin wrap and green onions, and deep fried duck bones. While you’re there get some of the crispy pork belly too .“

“Almost identical to Young Dong Tofu. A lot more variety with side dishes. Pork cutlet was huge for $20. Everything was tasty and service was excellent. Not sure if tofu soups normally come with egg. Ours didn’t. Definitely go here if you want to avoid waiting at Young Dong Tofu. They also have jajangmyeon 14.99 (didn’t try not on menu but posted inside on the walls)“

“Great addition to the food court! I'd been to other two hands and was worried it wouldn't be as good here since it's a food court location but it was very good. Service was unenthusiastic at best but the food was great, their potato dog is very enjoyable and the sauce is one of my favorite condiments. Will definitely be coming back 💪.“

“It’s a really cute and homey atmosphere. Imma take my friends here someday. They got a few good ramens and they got vegan options as well. They got good dessert options too. Some steamed custard buns that look like little piggies. Come give it a try and give them some business.“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“

“I really love eating at this store because when you dine in, you can have as much sauce as you want. And I love their sauces. I saw someone review for being stingy with their sauce. I didn't understand it. But I was thinking may be it was for "to go". I never order had "to go" here so I don't know. But for dine in, I come here all the time and it is great.“

“Second time eating here when I stop by the super H Mart. Food always comes out fresh and tasty. Only positive things to say about this establishment. Steam buns and dumplings are my go to choice. Definitely be back again to try other dishes.“

“The Flame Broiler is a simple fast-food chain in Rancho Cucamonga. They prepare and serve Korean-style meat and rice bowls with no dairy, trans-fat or frying. Their bowls are always fresh and consistently good. Customer Service is always quick, staff is nice and friendly. This place is always clean and well-decorated. You will get 20% off your next order (except catering) if you check in to The Flame Broiler on Yelp.“

“Love Letter Chicken is amazing! I’ve loved it since I was a kid!
Having Korean yangnyeom fried chicken in the U.S. is something I’m honestly grateful for — it’s like a SoCal pride thing for me! 😄
And hey… if you haven’t tried it yet, my bad~ 🤣“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“Always one of our favorite places to eat, all the staff are great and the owner/chef Jay is always willing to customize our food preferences and knows exactly how we like it.“

“food is delicious, service is typical korean. but they never open on time!!

today [4/15/2025] i was there until 11:45 waiting for them to open and finally gave up waiting for them to open. it's extremely disappointing they cannot open open on time or anywhere near the time they say they open. they should change the time they open to noon because opening at 11 is clearly too difficult for them to do.“

“Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Parking: There is currently some barricaded construction which has blocked some of the parking spots (Dec 2024), making it difficult to find parking. There was also broken glass in one of the stalls which raised concern about cars being broken into recently. Turn on your car’s camera if you’ve got one.“

“We had Gamjatang and the seafood pancake, and the pancake was so good with a lot of actual seafood, and the gamjatang soup was just amazing! The flavor of the soup didn't feel artificial or sharp, and instead had a very deep but smooth flavor that I appreciated a ton. Me and my wife easily finished the meat in the gamjatang, and brought the soup back home to make fried rice and that also tasted amazing! Will be back again for more“

“This is truly a secret gem in the city. I'd recommend anyone from Pomona or anyone passing through to try this place at least once. Food is great the people are nice the vibe excellent. I love how they decorated the inside to give a unique authentic feel. My favorite go to dish here is the spicy seafood Ramen, the sushi are great as well. 😄👍“

“Good comfort food. The stone pot was delish and came out so so hot. It was still steaming at the end of the meal. I had a lot of leftover and the side dishes were fresh and tasted good.The two ladies were patient with me on all my questions about the menu and the sauces. I was expecting them to be mean since so many reviews said they were but they were really nice and I came within the hour of closing and didn't feel rushed.I ordered the stone pot galli and the galbi combo. Both were good and the meat was not over cooked. Total for both dishes came out to almost $80“

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

“This is our go to place for Korean food. Love the Kpop vibe, service are friendly, their food is amazing, specially love their crispy Seafood pancake, kimchi pork belly, rose spicy pasta, fried chicken.... basically everything is delicious!!! Highly recommend“

“Have visited location numerous times picking up customer ordersOn the Northeast corner of Mountain Avenue and Eighth Street in UplandIn the Upland Village Shopping MallBusy locationCleanPleasant staffHaven't tried any of their menu items so I'm unable to give any recommendationsHowever, I may return on personal time someday

Parking: There is plenty of free parking in the shopping mallHowever, it can be a challenge to find parking at times since there is a Dollar Tree and Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in the mall“

“Located right next to Cal Poly college, Jinza Teriyaki is a great spot to eat after classes, my all time favorite is the Loco Moco bowl. The people are incredibly nice and especially early the place is a nice quite area to eat in. My only wish is that they would open earlier as someone who's out n about by 7am, but I understand not wanting to open at the crack of dawn.“

“Very good!! 🤗 and excellent service!! 🤤“

“It is a nice eatery, located in downtown area of Pomona! I have been here several times. The meals were fairly priced. Furthermore, they were delicious. I really enjoyed those meals, while being a patron of this establishment. Also, these meals are quite healthy, and it is a good alternative to fast food. The place, when I visited, was quite clean. So definitely, if anyone visits downtown area of Pomona, I would recommend a visit to this eatery!“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“Korean fried chicken is just the best! Non greasy and a light batter. The plain wings are perfect and the flavored ones are even more delicious. I recommend the Honey Garlic variety“

“The Flame Broiler Was Very Popular In The Early 90's But With Waba Grill Now!! It's Popularity Has Deminished. Food Is Good But Out Dated Service Is Minimal Many Have Closed Down!! Atmosphere Sucks!! If U Want Some Early 90's Version of Waba Grill Than This Is 4 U But Food Presentation Is Boring.“

“I gave them 5 stars because this is one of the best places to have korean jampong (the spicy kind). The food is great, I took 1 star off because honestly they have a huge menu and over 70% of the stuff are not available and never will be (why bother keeping it ?!?).

The service is great as long as you don't complain or ask for detailed ordering such as I can't eat this leave it out of the dish or such as can you NOT wash the noodles with cold tap water. Use filtered water instead.

The eatery is a small counter inside a supermarket. So atmosphere is like whatever. Expect lots of aunties and uncles and others around you watching you eat while talking in loud korean.“

“If you want good customer service, go to the flame broiler in Luverne and see David. He is awesome I drive all the way in from Upland just because of his good customer service..“

“Best sushi in Upland Highly recommend“

“First timer here always heard good reviews from friends so i had to come out and try! I had the pleaser of meeting the owner Alley whom is a delight and gave us excellent service and detailed ingredients on the flavors of wings.
I ordered honey garlic wings, spicy gobi wings and a bulgogi bowel.Always love coming to to support family owned businesses thank you :)
The chicken is perfect never had chicken like this before 10/10
Also please note that all orders take up to 15 mins as they make it fresh and never pre fried!!!“

“Bbq always delivers in terms of flavor. The only reason I didn't get five stars is because at this location the cook that works in the the morning afternoon shift is far superior to whoever they have cooking in the back at night... 😂“

“the best food ever. and the owners are so nice“

“MY FAVORITE KIMBAP PLACE SOOOO FAR! Since we've tried it, we always look forward for Sundays and having them for lunch. The beef kimbap is soooo great that I'll say it's the best tasting kimbap I've ever had. The portions are great for the price too! This place won't disappoint.“

“We came in really hungry and ended up waiting… and waiting… and waiting. Unfortunately, our server never let us know how long the wait would be, and we ended up sitting there for nearly two hours before our food arrived.

That said — when the chicken finally came out, it was phenomenal. The flavor was absolutely out of this world — totally worth the hype. The music inside set a nice vibe, and overall, it was a good visit.

Just a heads-up: be prepared to wait a long time. If you’re patient, the food will definitely reward you.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“
