50 Best Korean Restaurants near Culver City

“This is the best Korean bbq I have ever had! We stumbled upon this place 30 minutes before it closed for the day, and ordered 3 different items on the menu: sweet and spicy chicken, soy and garlic chicken, and beef bulgoki. All three were amazing! I cannot stress how good and flavorful the food was. Highest quality! My only regret is that I didn't have time to go back again. Highly recommend the 3 dishes above and highly recommend having it there instead of bringing it back. Asim(owner) is a very friendly and welcoming guy. All the food is halal! Keep it up!!“

“Been familiar with Chef Celsie for some time. What is so imperative to highlight is the fact that when you have a true fusionist of tasteful delicacies; then you know you are just about to experience culinary heaven in your mouth. That is Chef Celsie, her deep knowledge of so many different kinds of culinary cultures makes her as force to be reckoned in La La Land. So in other words, you truly are in for a real treat!! #simplydelicious“

“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...“

“I came here 2 days ago and ordered a hot Cheetos corndog and a sweet potato corn dog & a potato corn dog, the service was amazingly fast and the food was spectacular and made fresh and warm, and most importantly the place was really clean, staff were really understanding and nice, I will definitely be coming back soon!!“

“This was my first time ordering from moonbowls and I will definitely be coming back! I did a build your own steak bowl, with the spicy kimchi, sweet potatoes and mushrooms - solid 10/10!

I had the spicy house sauce, the gochugang sauce, and the chili crunch sauce and they were all good! My only complaint is they use Canola oil but I did give them feedback in hopes that they will make a change down the line, unfortunately so many restaurants still use seed oils, so until it becomes the NORM to be seed oil free, I feel like I can’t really complain all that much.

If you’re in the area I would highly recommend you try this place out! The pickup experience is different as well, they have a tablet that scans your order confirmation and assuming the order is ready already, it’s placed into a self serve locker that will open for you upon you checking in.

Ps. You DO have to buy your own utensils, which they charge $0.25 for, not the end of the world but definitely something to note, as i don’t think most people are accustomed to paying for their utensils.“

“I am so thankful that there is a Flame Broiler in Culver City. I’ve been going here for years, and the staff is always friendly, the prices are so affordable, and the quality of food is great. I have a severe dairy allergy and this is one of the only fast casual places that I can safely eat at. Please support this business! Also, love the app and rewards program. Get a free bowl every few hundred points. Well worth it!“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“Hardly a wait before 1pm 5-10. The entrance of the place is where the parking lot is, not on the corner of 5th street were I entered from 😅 they are very quick at clearing tables to let in more guests for dine in.

Ordered the brisket and it was delicious. Light and flavorful. Like others have stated, add your green onions and salt pepper or chili to your liking. Their radish and kimchi banchan were fresh and flavorful, my favorite being the radish! The milky smooth bone broth tasted delicious. Not heavy at all and so comforting!“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“My husband and I found this gem on one of our K town adventures. The food is phenonmenal, the staff was out standing they cook the meat right in the table for you. My husband who is not a big steak eater absoultly loved it. We have told several friends and we are definitely coming back.“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“Very kind and attentive server who seemed to be handling half the restaurant by himself.

Tofu soup was good, but nothing mind-blowing. They're generous with their bonchon (sides), but I didn't like how watery the kimchi was. Bulgogi was fine.

I'm interested in seeing what other Korean restaurants LA has to offer, but based off this experience, I've had better Korean food for cheaper in Vancouver and Dallas.“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“I love it so much . That was so yummy . Service good and so friendly.“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“amazing food and good for family“

“Was visiting LA, stopped by Soowon Galbi for KBBQ dinner per friend’s recommendation and it was delicious! Had to be on waitlist but was so worth the wait! Good quality meat, generous side dishes, and quick and fast service! Clean restaurant!“

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“Fantastic Korean food I brought a group of guys for a bachelor party here because many of us like high-quality street food and are more interested in the food than the atmosphere. It was perfect. A couple of the guys, who have lived abroad in Asia, said the spicy pork tacos were phenomenal. I loved the Bulgogi bowl. The service was great too! I sent a text to the owner the day before to see if they would be open the next day and because I mentioned it was for a bachelor party they made sure there was a large table set up for us in the shade. Even the little space on the sidewalk was fun. I highly recommend!“

“Marvin and the team were amazing, so was the food! Been there in January and it was great, saw they had a dine LA deal going with an updated menu, so here we go! Everything was amazing, delicious, good portion sizes and the team was highly accommodating! Definitely will be back soon!“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The menu is very small (5 options as of right now) and they have clearly perfected their food. I never had mudfish before, and I was curious to try it. The server patiently explained to me and my party how to eat it and it was so delicious! The mudfish Korean BBQ, banchan, and kimchi were also very yummy. The server was very polite and attentive, coming over to refill the water cups and banchan. I would definitely come back!“

“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.“

“Nice place very good to eat“

“Good food and fast service.“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“Amazing food, so worth the price as well! The 대창 is so delicious!! I have twin babies and the restaurant was very accommodating to my family & I with our stroller. We really appreciated it since we previously came from a way more spacious outdoor restaurant that gave us horrible service due to us having babies with us. So we left and decided to come to Yangmani instead to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Will be back for the amazing food and wonderful welcoming service from the staff! Thank you!“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“An incredible Korean BBQ restaurant with exceptional food and even better hospitality. The service makes you feel as though you’re dining in someone’s home, with genuine warmth and attention to detail. The meal comes with nearly 18 different banchan, each one fresh and delicious. Every part of the experience was outstanding—I highly recommend it.“

“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!“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Busy and noisy -- but very tasty. I like a place that takes you at your word when you say you like spicy food.“

“Stopped by Tofu Chon La for dinner while in town on a work trip, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The soondubu had a rich, flavorful broth with great depth, and the kimchi was among the better versions I’ve had. The panchan was fresh, and they were happy to provide refills without having to ask.

The kalbi was grilled nicely with just the right amount of char, tender, and well-seasoned. Ordering was simple and efficient, and the service was attentive throughout the meal, even though I was dining alone.

A very satisfying meal and a place I’d gladly return to the next time I’m in the area.“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“I found my new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. PZK BBQ on Beverly Blvd in the Fairfax neighborhood is it.

My daughter took me there for Father's Day, 2026. My go-to order at Korean restaurants is galbi, marinated beef short ribs. At PZK BBQ you can get all you can eat at a reasonable price. It's delicious. Service is quick because you grill it at your table. It's delicious.

The typical Korean side dishes, also all you can eat, are also delicious.

Our server was pleasant and efficient. The ambiance is pleasant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. The way the restaurant is set up, I couldn't see any way for a party of more than six could eat together. We were a party of five, my daughter, her family, and me, so we were fine.

There's a valet parking station out front, or there's street parking. The restaurant is kid friendly as long as your kids like Korean food.“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“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.“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“We have a friends gathering tonight at Jeju restaurants. The fish are very fresh here. It's a Japanese food but Korean style. I don't think they have sushi. Just sashimi. Lots of banchan plates. Again Korean style. My Korean friend is the one that ordered the food. We just here to enjoy. Service is very attentive.
Parking is tough. It's like a strip mall. The do have additional parking behind but also tough to park.“
