50 Best Korean Restaurants near Compton

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

“I got the chicken and beef plate. I waited for about 5 minutes and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size when it came out. Everything was fresh and tasted great! Definitely one of the best budget friendly Asian fusion spots I’ve been to. Worth its money big time!“

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

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“I absolutely love this place. The pork belly is always some of the best in town. Today we also got the French fries the tteok galbi (Korean meatballs) and it was so good with the kimchi and sauce, wow. Everything on the menu is great, the alcohol is very tasty (try the fermented rice wine and the black raspberry wine, they are incredible) and the staff is so fun. This is an incredible little hidden treasure in Gardena, come try it!“

“We came here because we were craving gopchang and makchang, and everything was so good! The side dishes were fresh and nicely prepared, and the gopchang, makchang, and daechang were all absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back. 100% recommend!“

“I am so surprised this place is not more popular. Almost happy this is the case, because there hasn’t been a line every time we have come in, but the food is THE best Korean food. Their Bossam is on point! Highly highly recommend . Super fresh and delicious and all their side dishes and sauces are made in house and absolutely delicious!“

“A clearly family run delicious soup restaurant that have been several times. The seollungtang rivals that of hanbat without having to go all the way to korea town and they serve other things which i always wanted from hanbat. Their bossam is great with raw nappa which i love and the haegaengguk which also has saved me post a hard night. Highly underrated korea restaurant“

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

“This place is small and tuck away in a shopping corner, but the services was the best, seen like a great mom and pop place. Forgot what I order but it was all delicious, when with a group of 4 and we family style the meal, best way to try all the amazing dishes.“

“Nahhh… this place actually lived up to the hype. 😭🔥 The chicken was CRAZY crispy without being dry, and every bite was juicy. Soy Garlic is hands down my favorite flavor. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the sauce is so good I could eat it every day.

The sides were solid too, everything came out fresh and hot, and the staff was super chill. The place was clean and the whole vibe was a W.

Definitely one of the best Korean fried chicken spots I’ve had. If you’re debating whether to try bb.q Chicken, just go. The Soy Garlic is a must. 10/10, I’m already thinking about my next order.“

“We came here craving a hearty, authentic meal, and it completely exceeded expectations. We ordered their signature Gamjatang and it was phenomenal. The broth is deeply flavorful, rich, and simmered to perfection with tender pork bones that practically fall off the bone.“

“I kid you not, this is some of the best food I've ever had, full stop. The mala xiang guo is a must try, it is so perfect, I've already had it twice in the past week! Also highly highly recommend the dakgangjeong, pork ribs, and guo bao rou. Truly every single thing on this menu is a hit, and the owners are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. This place is the best!!!“

“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...“

“The pork katsu was amazing, but the macaroni and the salad need some improvement. I hope it was just an off day, but the macaroni had a strange taste, and the salad was bland. I really hope those two items are improved because the pork katsu itself was excellent.“

“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.“

“Got a to-go spicy beef stew (#2)... And it's WONDERFUL!!! The soup part is full of flavour and the beef just sucks in that flavour which melts in ur mouth!!! The lady is very wonderful and nice as well!!:) I recommend this place a lot!! 👀👀“

“Stopped by because I wanted to try the rose mala Tteokbokki, IT DID NOT Disappoint!! It was sooooo good. We also go the bulgogi bowl, bomb. Also got the sweet & spicy wings, also super good.
Server was super friendly!! 10/10 coming again :D“

“Great food priced right! One of our favorites places to eat at’“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“This place is an absolute gem! It’s a cozy, smaller spot, but the food is incredibly authentic. The ginseng chicken soup was so comforting, flavorful, and traditional. But the absolute highlight of the night was the Tofu with Kimchi Pork, it was completely mind-blowing and delicious! If you’re looking for genuine, high-quality Korean food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“The food is really good and cheap, plus its a really good portion of it. The atmosphere is pretty welcoming and feels good to be there. The most remarkable thing its the service, it is a really nice and good service in every way, best service I've had so far and will definitely go back.“

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

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

“My hand was for a size reference. This place is so good! I've been going often for lunch and the quality is consistent! I ordered the spicy bulgogi bento. It comes with a side salad, kimchi, pickled radish,cucumber,noodles, gyoza(1), rice and miso soup for $20. Can't beat a fresh meal (-:<“

“The food is delicious. Once I received my bowl, I was blown away by the portions. My bowl fed two large individuals lol. The kimbap was also delicious. The musubi was fire. The price was right. Overall, I will be coming back when I’m working out here, once a week lol.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“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.“

“the sweet older woman who works here and who i presume is the owner is SO SWEET. her food is delicious, homestyle, and HUGE portions!! definitely worth the price. her energy is so warm, kind, and fun!! she asked if i spoke spanish and then proceeded to do her best to say thank you to us when picked up our food 🥰 i did my best to say thank you in korean to her and i will be coming back for sure to get food to go!! if u still eat out at restaurants then make sure to pay her a visit inside for a personal and sweet experience!!“

“We’ve visited twice and both times we were happy with both the food and service.
It’s a casual and relaxed Korean restaurant that is open late. Service is friendly with the staff making rounds to check on you. We ordered cheese Tteokbokki, SHRIMP Tempura, SHRIMP FRIED RICE, SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP, ROSE PASTA, BIBIMGUKSU, FRIED WINGS 10Pcs, Galbi. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Tteokbokki, rose pasta, shrimp tempura, and wings.“

“They were not joking when they called this comfort food. I was sick, and it was raining, so I wanted something warm and hearty. This place seemed like the obvious choice, and far exceeded my expectations. Food came out fast and blistering hot, but still perfect temperature to eat right away. It was somehow nostalgic, even though it was my first time trying this dish. The tofu was extremely soft, but held its shape well, and very flavorful from absorbing the liquid. It really felt like it cured by illness.

Portion size was also very generous, which is always important. The menu was also pretty varied, I could imagine coming back multiple times and trying something new each time.“

“I've been going to Maria'a since I was a kid. My parents, when they arrived to the US from Mexico would go there and so did my aunts and uncles and cousins. Now I take my kids to eat there. The restaurant has always been the same with great quality food and great service. Maria's restaurant is a gem in the community and will hopefully be there for many more generations. Don't sleep on this place, give it a try.“

“It was seriously so good. My friends and I were looking for a place that was open late after playing cards, and this place hit the spot! It was 116 for five of us, and they kept refilling our sides whenever we ran out. Honestly, we've decided this might be our weekly spot to go to! A real gem“

“Pollo & Boba Cafe - varieties of the korean gimbab, Tteokbokki Korean hot rice cake and more delicious foods 😋
Check this out this restaurant at San Pedro street near Fashion district in Downtown Los Angeles. 👌 Strongly recommended 👌 👍“

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

“Jang Su Jang is a rather popular Korean restaurant in Torrance, Los Angeles. The main dining room is spacious and bright. However, the washrooms are not that clean. Staff is efficient. The authentic Korean cuisine is delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the hot and flavorful Yukhae Dolsot Bibimbap (USD 26).“

“The Crispy Chicken wings were juicy and delicious!! I paired them with their potatoe salad which was soooo good!! They make wingstop look real sad. I can't wait to try their other flavors. I've finally found my new wing go to home!!😋“

“Just had some of the best chicken wings I’ve had in a long time. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. The waffle fries were perfectly seasoned, the onion rings were crispy and delicious, and the shredded cabbage with dressing was absolutely amazing. Everything paired together so well and made the meal even better.

The service was amazing, and the overall experience was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this spot 10 out of 10, and I’ll definitely be back!

If you want some amazing chicken wings, definitely go here.“

“A large group of us just had dinner there. The food was amazing and the staff were great. So happy with our choices. The yam fries are phenomenal! All the food was!❤️“

“I’ve been going to Golden Bowl for a long time, and it’s always been a great experience. The atmosphere is good, the food is consistently delicious, and the service is always kind and welcoming.

I really like the teriyaki chicken and shrimp—honestly, everything I’ve tried there has been good. I’ve been going since my firstborn was little, and now he’s 23, so I’ve built a lot of history there.

They always treat you well, the service is sweet, and the free refills are a nice touch. It’s just a solid spot to sit down, relax, and grab a quick bite. Definitely worth it, and I recommend it.“

“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...“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Run by an older couple and the restaurant matched their charm. Felt super comforting and the food tasted like what you got when visiting your grandparents. I've tried soondaegook all thru the south bay and this was my favorite. 8th Street soondae in ktown is still my #1 but this is def my #2.“

“Cherrystones catered my brother's celebration of life memorial last Sunday at the Toyota Meeting Hall in Torrance. We were about 120 people. The food and presentation was excellent. We opted for the Kalua Pork and the Teriyaki chicken, both delicious. Loved the broccoli salad and Mac salad. Our guests raved about the food. Cherrystones catered my dad's memorial in 2016 and the food was excellent then. I would not hesitate to use them again if I needed a catering service. Thank you Cherrystones for doing my brother proud.“

“We will definitely be back. Stumbled across this place and had Korean army soup for the first time. Delicious! The kimchi fried rice delicious!!! Pork belly delicious!!!! 10/10 and well the drinks 🤩🫶🏼🤩 can’t wait to try everything in the menu.“

“Sooo yummy!! I always love coming here for Korean fried chicken. It just takes a while, but at least we know it’s fresh! Love the soy garlic flavor! It’s sweet, savory, garlicky, crunchy, juicy and overall just the #1 pick. Come give it a try!!“

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