5 Best Korean Restaurants near Costa Mesa

“Absolutely amazing! This is the spot I’ve been taking everyone. Place inside is kinda small but super cozy and cute. You order at the kiosk and it’s super easy/convenient. They make the food in the front and it definitely adds a personalized touch. My favorites are the seared salmon and unagi yubu! They look small but 3 of them is the perfect amount for meal for me

Dietary restrictions: They prepare the food by the kiosk and you can ask them any questions directly“

“Came here over the weekend and the food court was packed! We were lucky to have been able to get seats. Food came nice and hot and each with a set of banchan and really fast.

I highly recommend the eel rice bowl, egg tofu, and galbi. If you’re in the mood for Korean comfort food, k soul food is a solid choice“

“I recently visited bb.q Chicken in Costa Mesa and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, which made for a welcoming atmosphere. The portions were just right, and the food arrived impressively fast. I found the fries especially unique – they had a powdered cheese coating with a slight sweetness, adding an interesting twist.

The star of the meal was, of course, the chicken. It was juicy and flavorful, with a marinade that didn’t overwhelm the crispiness of the batter underneath. Since this is Korean cuisine, there’s a subtle hint of sweetness in most dishes. While sweet flavors aren’t usually my preference, I knew to expect it with Korean flavors, and it worked well here. The prices were reasonable, making it all the more worth it.

Overall, a solid place to get flavorful and well-prepared Korean fried chicken.“

“I usually go to flame broiler but didn’t know there was one down there street from my office. I was greeted by Fransisco, super friendly and welcoming.
Very friendly staff, the place was super clean, and food came out in a timely manner.
Will go again“

“This place shows up last in Google searches, and it shouldn't. The food was good, the guy serving was helpful, generous with sauce and the store is in a great plaza with a Stater Bros. Great place to treat yourself before shopping for groceries.“
