10 Best Korean Restaurants near El Cajon

“I had a pretty good corn dog from this Korean Fry House at the Parkway Plaza Food Court. I ordered the Premium Beef Corn Dog or the #2 for $5.29 plus tax.

The corn dog was good. The beef dog inside was tasty and the batter on the outside was crispy, although the inside of the batter could have used a little more time in the fryer. You can add a variety of toppings and sauces to the corn dog. I went with just mustard and garlic powder. It was a good flavor combination.

The older gent running the counter was friendly.“

“First time trying Korean hotpot and it was very good. We liked it so much we came back the next day and tried a different item from the menu but the pork bone soup is the best.
I guess the service varies, the night we were there everything went well (Riley is awesome) but the next day we came back for lunch with a different staff was kind of off and don’t feel like serving us. But overall still recommend to try it!“

“Was going to get my normal chicken next door but saw there was now line and decided to take a chance on their food. Glad I did, spicy chicken was delicious, came with steamed rice, glass noodles, corn and cabbage mix. Will definitely be getting this again, especially for 8.99.“

“Delicious food and great atenttion“

“Visiting family from the East Coast and my daughter took me here today. I was stationed in Daegu South Korea for 2 years while in the Army. we used to get bb.q chicken almost every weekend. The kids loved it and so did I. This was my first time having it in 8 years and it immediately brought me back to being in Daegu. The food was amazing and brought us right back to being there. I highly recommend you check them out, you won't regret it!“

“bb.q is a bit expensive, but it’s worth the money. It’s absolutely the best Korean fried chicken I’ve had. We always get some Rose Ddeok-Bokki too. The rice cakes, fish cakes and sauce are delicious. Inside the store they always have multiple TVs on with some Korean shows and K-pop music show performances (the kind you find on Samsung TV). The staff is always great.“

“Our fave Korean Boneless Fried Chicken in National City.

Ordered our regular Crispy Boneless Chicken. Crispy, tender, juicy and perfectly coated boneless chicken. Freshly out of the fryer so be careful. With free honey mustard and sweet chili sauces.

Microwaveable rice is sold/served here (Bibigo Korean brand).

Highly recommended if your craving for Fried Chicken and Korean dishes (Ddeok-bokki and corn dogs). Got our orders after 10 mins (1045am).“

“Food already great here 💕 🍣 🍱“

“Favorite place to eat Korean fried chicken in San Diego on Mondays and Tuesdays for their $1 wings dine in deal. The deal is up to 12 wings per person which is great because after 6 wings - dipped heavily in ranch sauce - I'm full. Deal doesn't come with any sides like radish or rice and costs extra.

My go to spicy wing sauce is yangnyeom. The Littles (who normally don't like very seasoned or saucy things) surprisingly liked the 3 non spicy flavors.

Bulgolgi fries is overall crispy and tasty but has little Bulgolgi in it.

Japchae was underwhelming.

Parking sucks but it never takes me more than 2 minutes to find parking.

I've never had to wait for seating but I've seen that wait times can be from 30 minutes - 1 hour at peak times or with large parties.

Service so far has been slow because they have a full restaurant. Easier to ask for anything you need at the bar (napkins, utensils, water refills, the check). It also sucks when the server is clearly sick and coughing and handling your food.“

“ohana Hawaiian island BBQ is the best in town I've been coming here since my son was one and a half he's seven now and it has become his favorite food I bring him here as a reward when he's a good kid thank you ohana you have become part of my family 🙏❤️“
