41 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.“

“Tofu Chon is a great spot for Korean BBQ and comforting tofu soups. The banchan selection is fresh and flavorful, and the dishes come out hot and tasty. The customer service is prompt and attentive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you're craving Korean BBQ or a hearty tofu soup, this is definitely a place worth visiting.“

“I really need yall to know I don’t do reviews unless something actually moves my soul. This is by far, the BEST katsu sando I’ve ever had. I finished and sat in my car and just contemplated life, completely forgetting the taro ice cream I had bought. I wish I could eat this again for the first time. 15/10 food, the service was amazing and prompt. Come on an empty stomach.“

“This is my absolute favorite spot after a round of golf. Honestly, almost everything on the menu is delicious, and even the side dishes are top-notch. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the '19th hole' with friends. Highly recommended for any golfer in the area.“

“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“

“the fishcake udon and the knife cut noodles (kalguksu) were so good, and the prices were very reasonable! the owner was super friendly as well and complimented my plushie and treated it well, which is the first time i’ve had someone do that while eating at a restaurant :)“

“First tried this chain in Buena Park and was so excited to see them open in my home town! Literally searched for similar options in SGV but closest seemed to be Kingyubu in ktown that I didn’t like as much. Now this is a go to when I visit the parents. Have always loved inari as a guilty pleasure (so basic, I know..) and this concept takes them to the next level. Spicy options have a good kick and the toppings are plentiful. Im usually passing so I order online via toast and pickup no problem.. but then I can’t even make it out of the parking lot before I give in and gobble them up. Popping spicy salmon and garlic butter crab are my go tos.“

“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.“

“Love it yummy food 🥘 good place to relax 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)“

“This weekend, I took my little dog to Chino for a walk. After seeing the cows, I randomly searched for a highly-rated Korean restaurant nearby. I never expected it to be so amazing; it's even better than those in K-town! 😋 This place used to be a chain brand, and the one in Chino is a new store. It's very popular among Koreans.
The white-cut meat was served and it was completely different from what I expected! It contained beef, tripe and tendons, and was paired with onions and bean sprouts. The plus point was the fragrant garlic, which, when combined with their sauce, was so delicious that I couldn't get enough of it. The tendons were so tender and I loved it so much 😍
The spicy pickled crabs 🦀 are so deliciously seasoned. Who wouldn't love a sweet and spicy seafood ice cream? Once served, it's gone in no time, with people taking one bite after another. Even my friend who doesn't like crabs had his first taste and couldn't stop eating so much.
The spicy octopus 🐙 rice bowl is really fragrant. The octopus is so chewy and bouncy, and it's so delicious. I also ordered the combo of cream soup and grilled steak, which is very cost-effective. The cream soup goes perfectly with the sticky rice bowl. There's even a recommendation on the napkin for how to enjoy the cream soup. The soup is so creamy and rich.
?? Here, you can also find the same style of Sunnongdan's pork ribs stew, but at a more affordable price. There are two sizes to choose from, and even the smaller one is enough for two people. Once you take a bite, the meat just falls off the bone, tender and flavorful. 😋
The staff are all very nice. It's a place I'll definitely come back to. The Korean food here really suits my taste and there are many side dishes. This is the most satisfying Korean meal I've had recently, without a doubt. Recently, many people have been coming to Chino Hiking to see the cows 🐮. You really should give it a try.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Great taste of duck dishes with both Northern Chinese and Southern Chinese style roast ducks. Awesome value for its lunch special bento, considerable portion of duck and side dishes, and competitive price. The only limitation is the restaurant is closed on Tuesday so that it is not convenient enough for me as I need to go to office nearby on Tuesday but cannot have food at that days.“

“✨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“

“The buns here are stuff to the brim with filling with chives, glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, and pork. Its a great quick meal to have after a long day because of how large the bun is. The frozen dumplings from here are also very generous in filling and are best boiled as soup or pan fried. The taste is meaty.“

“I got the whole crispy fried chicken with sauce. The chicken is juicy and crispy. The size of each individual chicken pieces are well quite large in size. And the portion size is quite a lot, so its price is very reasonable. The sauce flavor I got is hot and spicy and it does got some spiciness to it, but extremely enjoyable if you’re into spice. In addition, it is sweet, smoky, and each pieces is perfectly covered in the sauce. The service was friendly and I got my food within like 10-15 minutes. I will be definitely be going here often whenever I’m craving Korean Fried Chicken.“

“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 💪.“

“Myung Dong Tofu House & BBQ is simply a hidden gem for the Korean cuisine enthusiasts in Rancho Cucamonga. Located on Base Line Rd, this Korean restaurant is simple in decor, but it delights with warm service and mouthwatering food. Last Monday, we came here for dinner. The place was empty when we got there. It seems most people prefer takeout or delivery here, likely because of the restaurant’s casual, no-frills atmosphere.

We ordered Topokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake) and Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone Bibimbap. Their service was fast and we received our food within 15 minutes. The dinner was served with a variety of appetizers, such as Kimchi, Pickled Cucumber, Salted Fish Cake, and Bean Sprouts - a dazzling array of Korean small plates, that made the meal even more tempting.

The food was excellent. The Topokki was spicy and rich in flavor. The Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone Bibimbap was tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Even though the price was a bit expensive, the food justified the cost. We had a great dinner at Myung Dong Tofu House & BBQ and can’t wait to come back.“

“The Kowaiian Pizza was very good. Nice and cheesy. The crust tasted really good and very homey.
The sweet and Mild had a good breading. Very good, not too spicy and very sweet hit. This was a good meal.
The environment was quite nice. Very quiet and chill environment. Great place to bring some friends and share a large pizza! Drink options is also quite great.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“The food portion is large, even though each dish is $15+, but with the side dishes, soup, and rice they give you can definitely split it into two portions. The bimbibap wasnt too salty and the texture of the veggies were fresh. The broth is just beef broth...a little salty but its a nice hot side.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Spending time with Mr. Oh of Diamond Bageloo, who puts philosophy and soul into every bagel he makes.
For dinner, we went for the locally famous sundae soup. Wow—no off-flavors at all, just a hearty bowl filled with assorted sundae, perfectly arranged in the pot, accompanied by crisp, refreshing radish kimchi.
Seeing the walls adorned with celebrity-signed frames, it’s clear this place isn’t just any ordinary spot—you can truly feel its quality after tasting it firsthand.“

“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.“

“Seoul BBQ is a solid spot if you’re craving AYCE Korean BBQ 🔥
Great quality meats, quick refills, and that fun grill-at-your-table vibe that never gets old. Perfect for group hangs, meat lovers, and anyone who wants to eat a lot without stressing the bill.
Why it’s worth it:
🥩 All-you-can-eat meats (beef, pork, chicken)
🔥 Grill at your table = always hot & fresh
🥬 Banchan + sauces to mix & match“

“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. 😄👍“

“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.“

“Went on a Sunday night. Was looking for places to eat and we didn’t know what to eat. Found this spot as we were in Chino Hills. The service and ambience is so fun and chic. Big screens playing KPOP. The menu is so cute - it’s like an encyclopedia style book with descriptions of each food. We ordered the Kimchi fried rice, spam rice balls (we made it ourselves), crispy pork belly, and citron soju. The food is so good- great Korean comfort staples. I don’t like pork but love pork belly. One of the most tender and crispy pork belly dishes I’ve tried. It came with some kimchi salad. It was sooo good. I’m going back this weekend“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“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“

“First time here around 4:30pm on Sunday. It was really amazing and the quality is greater than all you can eat. We ordered a combo $79, and the staff was very nice and we learned a little bit Korean from her! Thank you so much for your service and we highly recommend!“
