“Nice little gem we recently found. Place was clean & inviting and one of the cooks did a great job explaining the menu to us. We ordered the cheese Katsu meals and the portions are perfect! Really enjoyed the salad and dressing that topped it. Bowl of miso and rice were the perfect touch to complete the meal. Cheese katsu was amazing and the food was hot and fresh and the service was great. Definitely going to put this on our list of "places to return to"“
“Omma’s is solid for a quick bite. They’re always on point and will throw in the potato salad if you ask. This is a once a week visit for me and my family. If we don’t go in person at Ari Rang Tofu House, this is the place to go when we do takeout.“
“As per....always fuegs...the galbi w/cheese. Muah!!! Can't go wrong. Also had tteok (rice cakish?) , potatoes , carrots, onions and a few other things lol. For 3 ADULTS lol we were full!. Also banchan was fire. Kimchi is on point for us. 2 other ones as well. Some kind of slightly spicy/sweet scallions and I think radish kimchi both were yum as well. We're definitely gonna get it hotter next time. We only got medium?!“
“On my way to Big Bear, we stopped by this restaurant. It's my first time having Korean BBQ and all I can say is that I am blown away!They give you side dishes that are delish, I really enjoyed this place and wish I lived closer to here!The service was outstanding even on a very busy night.“
“This place was amazing. We came it with a group of 10, and we got set up with a table right away. They got our orders quickly, and then appetizers and food came out just as quick. However, the food was probably the best Korean fried chicken I have had in a long time. The sauce flavors were delicious, chicken was crunchy. Definitely have to try Korean BBQ , Lemon Pepper (dry), and the Sweet Chili Wings. Even the Bulgogi Pizza was great. Great little hole in the wall spot. Will have to come backWheelchair accessibility: It's a dive in location off the strip of the downtown location. Entrance is level with sidewalk, so wheelchair can roll right it, and there are a couple tables that can be set up with wheelchair seating. I can not vouch for the restroom as I did not check.“
“Finally got the chance to try this dessert place after always passing by. I got the pure milk soft serve and 3 pieces of taiyaki in custard and red bean. The soft serve is a nice texture and it's very soft. The milk is a bit too sweet, in my opinion. And you can self serve on several toppings for the soft serve. The taiyaki is very good, just wish that it is a bit more crispy. They give a generous amount of filling inside the taiyaki. Inside is a small place. They only have a bench and a couple of stools. Overall, a great dessert place!“
“This place is so underrated, I've only ever gotten in on doordash, but this place slaps. Spicy pork and the side dishes that come along with it are all you need but you can also venture into the beef short ribs. Won't be disappointed. One of the best things left in Montebello.“
“Great coming back to our new fave KBBQ spot. Prefer it much more than Gen. Love the “butcher style” vibes and how they cook for you. Great cuts of meat!!! Gio, Calvin, Devin were great hosts. Super consistent across diff locations. Highly recommend this place.“
“My former colleague from Daycare job and I met up here to dine in on Dec/5/23 on my day off. What delish treats these Korean Rice Plates are!!!! Customer service was topnotch and right off the bat when we were having a hard time deciding if we wanted to fetch their Holiday Korean Dumpling deal at $29.99 for a frozen bag and 4 packs of mixed and matched dumplings. I had to get me a set so my mom and I can reduce cooking time this holiday month of Dec/23. Anyways, I ordered their Korean Rice (Beef) plate to go, and that was huge and delish, good enough for 2 meals. I was only able to chow down half of it. This was our first time here, and we both had a fabulous time here. We will meet back here again next time visiting 'Manduyo,' Authentic Korean Cuisine. Even your side salad dish that was included in the plate was all fresh: there was nothing bitter from any piece of salad veggies I ate. I'll be back on my next shift!!!!W2G, 'Manduyo,' of San Gabriel, CA. You had me at Hello.“
“Finally came on the recommendation of a K-Town Cowboy Buddy and happy I made it out! Solid Kbbq non-AYCE option in Rowland/Eastern SGV. Went with a college buddy and family and ordered the premium combo with mega galbi! More than enough meat for a party of 4 adults and 4 young kids! Solid value and great quality.“
“The rose spicy rice cake is indeed very pasta-like, very fragrant and delicious?? The kimbap is very refreshing and small, but the portion is sufficient. The best thing is the sauce that comes with it. The mustard flavor is super refreshing, and I am amazed at one bite. My husband and I are both Love it ~ Recommend it~ The fried chicken is crispy and the sauce is rich, the portion is larger than other restaurants, overall it’s great value“
“After success with the jajiang noodles, I had to try the stall right next door. Inside the fantastic Hmart market, is Kazu Mori. I’d say Katsu is there specialty with pork and chicken. I had the pork tonkatsu with curry. Huge portions and so good. I actually thought I was a bit pricey bit after I saw the quality and portions, I reconsider. Also, not a Bricks and mortar saves a bit.I think the key is to get a bunch of people and order two or three items from each stall. The choice are fantastic.“
“This is probably one of the best Korean fried chicken spots I’ve ever been to and the garlic sauce is the best!I ordered two large drumsticks with the sweet & sour/garlic sauce on the side. The chicken pieces were very tender and juicy with a profound crispness. Overall a really delicious fried chicken meal and the garlic sauce took it to the top.The sweet potato fries were descent but wish there was some type of creamy sweet sauce to dip with it. The corn cheese was also delicious, very cheesy and sweet which complimented the fried chicken flavor.The fried squid was also good and a little too chewy for me but the flavor was there. The coleslaw was pretty good and subtle. It matched well with the fried chiefs and overall it was a great lunch.Customer service was great and super friendly. I’d definitely come back here again and probably try their wings instead.“
“Food was good but heavy! This is a loud restaurant and is good if you're wanting a bar style environment with food and drinks. Hence the name - pocha. One of the owners or managers was walking around checking on customers which was so nice. Overall, I enjoyed the food and service was decent but it was a little too heavy for me so I probably won't return.“
“Came down to Walnut to visit my family...and we were wondering what to eat .. In n out ? Happy wok? Casa Alvarez? McDonald's ? No more Colima Burger :( So I looked on yelp and scrolled down till I came upon Country Chicken & Taco Frank was nice and explained the menu... I would say pre order is best because it takes about 15-20 minutes ... they're delicious , we got the buffalo , garlic sauce, tacos , mozzarella sticks , Fries .. my family loved it all. Fed 5-6 people. Would go again.“
“Hidden gem in Monrovia. If you're looking for some good Korean food in the 626, look no further! KBop is located in a small shopping plaza on Huntington Drive. I recently saw a food blogger on IG post about KBop and I had bookmarked them as a place to try.I've been tricked by IG reviews before, so I decided to do some homework on Yelp before trying it and the reviews were good.So, I placed my order via their website for pick up. I got food for me and my parents. The food was ready when I got there and the staff was friendly. Condiments and utensils were in the bag and ready to go. I ordered 3 KBop bowls with different proteins/rice for each person, an order of the KBop fries with the spicy pork and an a la carte order of the boneless wings (Soy Garlic).The bowls are huge and can pass for multiple meals. The chicken/beef was nicely flavored and very tender. The egg on KBop bowls didn't travel well - the yolk cooked all the way thru by the time I got back home.The fries also didn't travel well. The spicy pork had a nice kick to it, not too spicy, but just enough.A couple days later, my mom asked "Can you go get that Korean Chicken for dinner again?" She must've REALLY liked it to ask for it again. Can't say no to mom right? So this time around, I the 3 KBop bowls and 2 orders of the a la carte wings (Soy Garlic & the Sweet Chile).Both flavors are very good. Will be making this spot a regular on the rotation -“

“Food is good. Boba more like less authentic. Everything good just you make sure they don't go wrong on your order. My Boba had a peace of plastic. Hopefully they get better.Parking: It's always almost full because of subway or Dennys but pretty sure you'll find parking .Kid-friendliness: A small place.“
“This place was amazing for an inexperienced KBBQ'er. It was me and my partner (Chinese and White). The staff were so friendly and helped explain what dishes were and how to eat them. They also cooked the meat and sides for us so we didnt have to stress over that part for our first time. The owner ended up serving us due to the flow of people and Chris/Kris was amazing. She let us try the house made Lemon Soju and really solidified that we would be coming back.Our other server was amazing and she took care of us majority of the night, I didnt catch her name but I also forgot my card there and she caught up to me like half a block to give it back. So sweet and above and beyond.We got a plate of Brisket and Bulgogi with two Soju bottles peach and strawberry. The house lemon one was my favorite though and we will be getting it next time we go.We street parked and payed $1.25 until 8pm hit and didnt have to pay anymore.“
“Very cute place! Great food and amazing service. There is music, you can pick the music, the portions are very generous. There is also the option for full and small portions. You'll feel like a grandparent insisted on feeding you during a visit. Limited seating but a great place for pick up or delivery. They open early at 7am and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Korean drinks, Mexican drinks and soft drink/juices available. Delicious deserts are also available at full and half portions.Parking: Plenty of free parking.with spots designated for the restaurantKid-friendliness: Music, small portions for children or those using portion control.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide sidewalks and close free parking right in front of the restaurant“
“Their soy garlic is real good here. We ordered the group meal, which came with wings and drumsticks, and 2 sides. Only the wings come with sauce but you can dip the crispy drumsticks in the extra sauce for more soy garlic goodness.Service is great. Seating is limited inside and outside. There’s free parking in their lot and on the streets.“
“The food is good and I recommend to go here with friends cause the food portions are pretty big. They also serve ice cream after, and the waiters/waitresses are very kind. One thing to keep in mind is that you're not allowed to bring outside drinks/food. The interior has a rusty yet cozy feel to it, and they play K-pop music on speakers even though it isn't that audible. This place is still enjoyable though.“
“The black sesame shaved ice was a standout, boasting a rich and robust flavor that satisfied my cravings for something bold. However, the green tea flavor fell short of my expectations. It leaned towards the sugary side rather than capturing the authentic essence of green tea that I had remembered.The mochi on the side was a letdown, as it turned out to be disappointingly hard. It lacked the soft, chewy texture that would have complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Despite the inconsistency in flavors and the mochi misstep, Oakobing still has potential with some improvements. If you're a black sesame fan, it might be worth a try, but be cautious if you're expecting the same excellence across all flavors and toppings.“
“This take out place has huge potential to grow. Ordered the pork belly rice box and it was ono. Like that onions and bell peppers were stir-fried with the pork belly sauce and poured over white rice. Really added great flavor to this dish. Also like the kim chee in separate container so uneated portion can be refrigerated. Love Kim chee and theirs were just right not too spicy. Its a shame their hours are limited but all the reason to stop by when they are open. Will be returning to try the other Korean dishes.“
“They have so many yummy dishes here! Way more than expected at a cafe.Highlights of the menu:1. Mini hot pot: Mongolia lamb and Satay beef2. Pork belly skewers3. Lamb skewers4. Beef aorta skewers5. Spicy wonton6. Eel bibimbap7. Short rib with quail egg and tofu8. Stirred beef with quail egg and rice9. Beef bulgogiDrinks:10. Mango pomelo sago11. Oreo brulee matcha12. Mango coconut smoothie“
“For the record, this place is not all you can eat. Price is definitely on the higher side of Korean BBQ. However, the food and the service you get are definitely worth the trip. The food is cooked by your server, and they will ask you how you want your meat cooked. The side dishes are delicious. My favorite is the sauce they give you for the BBQ. The only thing that may deter you from going to this restaurant is the long line during peak hours.“
“This place serves a very decent bowl of protein, rice and veggies. I appreciate that the chicken is not drenched in an overly sweet and goey sauce, instead, it has a light teriyaki flavor that you can accentuate with additional sauce served on the side. There is a charge for veggies, but the broccoli was cooked perfectly al dente and the green onions added a nice fresh crunch. I did wish there had been more green onions. The portion was big enough for me to share with my child. Big plate was around $13. Customer service was polite and service prompt. The place is small, however, it was not crowded during my visit. I will definitely return.“
“We love Cham Sut Gol. The people are so nice!!!!! The quality of the beef was so nice and the bonchon were flavorful and they were always ready to refill it. Our eyes were hungrier than our bellies so we took quite a long time finishing dinner but the people never rushed us out. We will be coming back next time we need a kbbq fix.“
“This place definitely should have over 5 stars! Absolutely delicious and the service by Michelle was way over the top. She was very delightful and very helpful. And my girlfriend and I both had our meals that were way better than any average Korean restaurant. We really enjoyed our experience here and we highly recommend anyone to come try a very tasty Korean food with awesome service. Thank you!“
“No frills teriyaki spot. The entrance was confusing. It looks like a glass storefront but it's an automatic sliding door that isn't very sensitive or quick. So you need to stand there and then it will open after a short delay. Service was quick, food was decent. Price is fair for Pasadena.“
“Food was amazing, it was quiet and mostly empty when I went. There was a moment nearing the end of my meal when a Karen came in and sat herself, and started to hassle the server over mistranslation of words (from Japanese to English) so she yelled at them and stormed out. Either way, dinner and a show. And a complimentary miso soup would go back again for sure. Service 10/10“
“OMG! Soooo Gooodddd! Don't go anywhere else, this place is legit, and it's tasteful. 100 percent quality teriyaki done right, not over cooked, or undercooked. No scrappy meat, or odd ball rice and noodles. Very good tasting and very delicious from beginning to end.I am definitely saving this spot and will be coming back for many more! Parking is a challenge, so order ahead or plan it right to get your food. Other than that, the lady this morning was extremely helpful and courteous for a 1st time visit that superseded my expectations!Thank you!!“

“I'm munching on their Crispy Ban Ban chicken with signature sauce as I type this. First time here tonight and Kayla took care of me. The options are many and I was too hungry to make any decisions so I just asked her to hook me up, and she did not disappoint!! Wish I knew of this place sooner, I'll be coming back over and over. Thanks Kayla“
“As a non-Vegan(I eat everything), I absolutely love this place! The work staff is so kind and they always make me want to come back! Everything is always cooked and seasoned to perfection! 10 out of 10 stars! I had a death in the family and they went out their way to write me a heartfelt note and slipped it my bag along with my order! That was so sweet and I will never forget it!“
“First is their spicy pork belly with cheese is their best dish. Don’t worry it’s more on the sweeter side than spicy for all my non spice humans. Next is their huge steamed egg. This is the largest pot of steamed eggs iver ever seen and they’re so fluffy and simple but delicious nonetheless. I also tried their Tteokbokki but I felt that the rice cakes were overcooked but I like that they had beef belly on top. Portions are large.“
“I highly recommend this restaurant! The Grilled Pork Ribs were outstanding! The quality of the vegetable dishes exceeded my expectations-fresh, crisp and tasty. When looking for a simple but delicious meal Fork Over Pork is the place to be!!! Customer service-stellar.“
“I did not really eat Korean food during my 2 weeks in Japan, so I was craving Korean food. I've known of the bb.q Chicken chain for a while now, and I saw they had a branch in Alhambra. I cannot eat a ton of fried chicken on my own, but I saw that this restaurant had other dishes as well. I decided to come here and give bb.q Chicken a try.They had a free soda with Yelp check in. My wife got a diet coke, and I ordered water. The restaurant gives complimentary pickled radishes. The staff are very nice and friendly.My wife ordered the tteokbokki, whereas I got the kimchi fried rice. I was torn between the fried rice and the bulgogi poutine, but I also knew I wanted rice, so I got the kimchi fried rice. My wife and I shared our dishes. The tteokbokki was good, sweet and spicy. The rice cakes were a nice texture. The kimchi fried rice was also solid, but a bit spicy for me.Given how close it is to me, I will definitely come back in the future to try their fried chicken.“
“My favorite place to get jjajangmyeon!! I got separate orders of the jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk and the tangsuyuk plate was huge!! I'll stick to the combo next time but it can definitely feed two hungry people and great amount for the price.“
“We have gone here a couple of times for their bossam which is on top of our list amongst the other bossam places within 10 miles around the area but we recently tried their marinated crab and I'll tell you now, it is top notch!! I would actually say it is the best we have had so far compared to the famous ones around the LA area. The only difference is you have to call in advance to order their marinated crab, usually 2 weeks, I believe, after the beginning of the month, making it extra special. This is a family owned business that says a lot about the place how each food they serve is from the heart. Give it a try. You'll probably come back over and over like us. Oh, and their side dishes are to die for!“

“Wow, Bonjuk and Bibimbap is awesome! My only regret is not knowing about this place sooner. I can see why it’s one of the most popular chains from Korea. The restaurant was clean and modern looking inside, and the food was phenomenal. It was a healthy, lighter option compared to some other spots in the area. Our server was also super nice.We ordered the mushroom + bulgogi bibimbap and seafood pancake. Both were absolutely delicious, and I look forward to coming back again soon.The chicken ginseng soup was also very healing and tasty! There was some dates, rice and green beans in it which was a nice touch.“
“So many customers visiting to A Ri Rang Tofu House. I visited it for the first time with my family. The food tasted delicious, satisfying & happiness. My parents liked it alright but I liked it very much. As busy as always. Great service & the atmosphere looks perfect. So noisy. Great amount of parking inside the garage. My stomach can’t fit anymore because I ate the entire food. I should definitely come & take my friends for lunch & dinner.“
“First visit today. First review: 5 of had lunch after church today. My friend picked this place and I was eager to try.PORK CUTLET. One of the best pork cutlets I've ever had! The pork cutlet was flakey and crispy on the outside, yet juicy and tasty on the insides. Tender, not tough. It's definitely one the 3 top dishes to order. So many different sauces. One of my favs.The most popular was the JOKBAL: Pork feet and hock slices. It's a large dish. Very unique. Must try with a large group (4 to 6 people.)And lastly 2 different soups. Galbitang: Beef short rib soup with glass noodles. The noodles were nice snd chewy. And the other one was the milky one. Also good on a cold day.The service staff spoke fluent Chinese and English. Interesting that I didnt hear any Korean spoken. Im sure the staff are multilingual at this Korean restaurant. Good service.Parking: Limitrd street parking on Baldwin, but plenty of free parking behind the restaurant.“
“Yesterday was Good Friday. My family and I had originally planned to go have dinner at Grab Crab, but the wait was outrageously long. I believe that when I checked in, we had 18 people ahead of us. So, instead, we decided to go Sosom Ramen Bar & Bossam. Luckily, when we got here, it was nice and empty. We got seated right away, and the order was taken really quickly. This was our second time coming to this place. The first time we came, I dont remember much, but we decided to come back anyway. This round was much rememberable. The waiter was on top of everything, making sure we had refills on our water and gave us extra sides. He checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else. Honestly, the food was just perfect. Like 10 min into our dinner, the restaurant started to fill up. The vibe with the customer everyone enjoyed their food. If you want to try Bossam, this is going to place. I don't think they will let you down. Meat is super tender, and the sauce is yummy. Just writing this makes my mouth water.“
“Parking: easy (parking lot) Wait time: No wait (once during 2PM, another time for 8:30PM dinner) Food ordered: 1. Beef and seafood tofu soup 2. BBQ short ribs, tofu soup combo Best tofu soup in SGV comparing to A Ri Rang and Young Dong. Everything was perfectly seasoned especially their side dishes. Although I've had better kimchi (yukdaejang's), I enjoyed their seaweed salad most. Like many Korean restaurants, they refilled all side dishes. I very much wanted to try new dishes here, but what I've ordered previously were so good I couldn't help but order the same thing my second time. Lunch combo did not come with a salted croaker like dinner combo. 10/10 would recommend and come back. My Recommendation to the restaurant: 1. Offer rice cakes in tofu soup (add-ons?) 2. Make a bibimbab+tofu soup combo“
“Solid Korean fried chicken and kimchi fried rice. Order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. Chicken pieces were large and exterior was crispy, soy garlic sauce was good. Shared parking lot with a lot of other interesting restaurants.“
“After losing the 50/50 twice during the HSR collab, I drove here in the hopes that I could guarantee the ticket I wanted. I'm so glad I did.The people here are really nice and the building is clean with a nice atmosphere. There's even a little parking out back. The food, of course, is excellent (Signature sauce gang)“
“Absolutely love this place. Located in the heart of Alhambra and on the corner of the intersection. Large parking lot located in the back, but it can fill up during busy hours. The meat was terrific and the self serve items were numerous. I really liked that the drinks and soft serve ice cream were self serve as well. Plenty of tables inside and kept clean. I really wish they were open a little later. I’m sure they have bathrooms, but I didn’t see where they were. I’ll definitely be going back as often as I’m in the area.“
“Imma get straight to the point if u go here and u ain't in the soup mood this is what you get -- the expensive ass shareable sizzling boiling pot of all sorts of different types of meat that will melt in your mouth layered with seasoned soft potatoes and carrots and onions and most importantly tteotboki and probably more stuff. Cheese is an add on and costs more but worth it! They said it feeds 2-3 ppl but nah there was 5 of us and we still didn't finish it!!! Split amongst 5 people it was like 25 bucks per person worth it! Restaurant is small but cozy and kinda transports you to a village I like it! Service was fast and so friendly totally worth it. Also not to be weird the dude with the tatted arm was hot.“
“Very good food! After eating millions of Korean barbecue family decided to try something different and it’s totally worth it. Only complaint is the chopsticks, which is very flat and heavy, makes it very hard to use. And I’ve been using chopsticks since I was born ?“
“I got the Mozz & Potato Corndog. Personally i never like corn dog breading but I love panko bread crumbs which they used and the fried potatoes were delicious and mozzarella and such a big cheese pull. The person that took our order wasn't that nice I think she was just trying to get her work done. The stand looked really cool and colorful.“
“Plenty of parking in the plaza. We got the pink lemonade fish bowl and personally I would've liked more alcohol in it because most of my friends and I were completely fine and didn't taste like it had alcohol . We didn't order any food but will definitely come back again to try some. Overall our server was nice and the vibes were great. They had some games to play while drinking and tvs all around playing kpop music videos.“
