50 Best Korean Restaurants near El Segundo

“Great good and friendly staff🎉🎊“

“I enjoyed it! I got the Korean spicy chicken bowl with green onion only, and I thought it was very flavorful and spicy for sure! I took my meal to go, but the space was very small so if you wanna sit down make sure there isnt a big group of you.“

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

“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.“

“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!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“The best quality Korean BBQ I've ever had! We had the butcher's pride 1 and it was the perfect amount of food for two people. It includes short ribs, finger meat, wagyu, and marinated short ribs. There are also numerous side dishes from kimchi to green onion jeon. You may also ask for rice if you'd like some to go with the marinaded short ribs.

With tax and tips, we ended up paying about $100 per person. Is it on the pricey end? Yes. Is it overpriced? Slightly. Is it a good food experience? It was. Would I come back again? Depends on who I'm with.“

“Amazing experience at Corner Place! I forgot to ask for our server’s name, but all of the ajummas (아줌마) working there were incredibly kind and welcoming. The food was amazing and there was SO much of it!

Our server kept taking care of us throughout meal, bringing us more food, cutting things for us, and getting everything ready so we could just eat and enjoy. It really felt like being taken care of by Korean aunties. 😂❤“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

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

“amazing food and good for family“

“For the quality, taste, price, and portions, you can’t find a lot of places better than Soowon Galbi. We got the Combo D (Unseasoned Prime Short Rib, Soowon Galbi, Prime Rib Eye Steak, Kkot Sal, Joo Mul Luk, Chadol, Bulgogi), which was filling even for 7 people! I usually don’t love non-marinated meats in KBBQ but tell me why the ones here were so tasty.

The servers were friendly and cooked the meats very nicely for us. I liked the Seafood Pancake, Galbitang, and complementary soups, though the Jap Chae was not my favorite. They were very generous with the rice, too.“

“This place was fantastic! It was me and some friend's first time in LA Koreatown, and they made my day! The place itself is very clean with a cozy atmosphere, and when you order they come out with generous appetizers of kimchi, fish cake, seaweed salad etc that are all very good. They come out with food very fast and it is delicious, and Jay was super kind.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely phenomenal duck KBBQ. Never had duck for KBBQ and it was decadent. All of the ducks cooks and smothered in duck fat and in the garlic. At the end they made fried rice with banchan and duck fat. It was heavenly. It was perfect for a large group of 10 with their semi-private dining in the back. A must try.“

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

“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!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“Nice place very good to eat“

“great Korean chicken dish. beef good too. friendly and wines allowed“

“I love this place! I used to live nearby and i stumbled in right at opening time my first day. they have a wait if you're going at popular times. Small strip mall parking.

wow, i became a loyal fan of the cheonggukjang, which i never had before. The owner is kind, and it feels like we're being taken care of like I'm at their home.

i am not korean, and especially at that early time 10 years ago I was often the only non-korean... but when they saw me eating cheonggukjang not bbq, i got some nods of approval 🤣 One korean man came up to my table after i ate once and asked me how i know this soup because it's controversial with even koreans.

But i loveeee fermented foods. and honestly, anytime i was sick this soup made me better in a day. I miss living so close to it, i have to make special trips to go now.

I tell all lovers of korean food to go here!“

“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.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Oh wow! They updated their menu and it got so busy today.
This place has always been a favorite of mine and my boyfriend whenever the seasonal flue or friends visit.
#3 is always been very nutritious, clean, and fulfilling.
Has lots of parking, makes you feel like your home, and the owners are very personable even when it’s busy. The servers may not talk much but they mean well and efficient,“

“This place is such a hidden gem. Everything is handmade from scratch daily, and the ingredients are fresh and high quality. The staff is friendly and answered my questions about the menu, since I had never been there before. Will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“New restaurant with amazing ambiance and creativity in the Korean-Italian fusion. We had a Galbi meatball plate, Clam oil pasta, claypot carbonara pasta, and super-addicting plate of fries with galbi mayo and furikake To us it’s better than Korean food by itself or Italian food by itself. Selfishly hesitant to write a review to draw more people, but they deserve it - it’ll attract long lines over time anyway.“

“6/10 napa wrapped bossam.
Light 7/10 radish bossam
Bossam is reasonably priced.

Kimchi Jiggae light 6/10 better than expected.
Bonchan typical. Still sadly don’t like kimchi
4/10 seafood pancake. Undersalted and generally bland.
3/10 Veg pancake also undersalted and bland.“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“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!“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“The food is really awesome and tasty“

“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.“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“This Korean restaurant is absolutely fantastic and deserves full marks. The side dishes are freshly made and full of rich flavors. The food we ordered tastes amazing. The staff are warm, attentive and quick to refill our plates. The dining space is clean with a cozy Korean vibe. Portions are generous for the price. It was such a wonderful meal, and I will definitely come back to try more dishes soon.“

“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.“

“Used the app to order and it was ready by the time I drove over to pick it up. Parking was an issue and I had to park on the street and walk over to the restaurant.

Glad to receive points as the closer location doesn’t provide points which is odd because you can order on the app from that location and the app even says “you’ll receive points for this order” and you don’t.“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“Hole-in-the-wall place specializing in simple soups and soondae (Korean blood sausage). It’s run by an older Korean woman who doesn’t speak any English but is super sweet. It makes me sad that I hardly see anyone in there but I don’t know why since the food is good and affordable. It may confuse people that the sign says Golmok Restaurant. I’ve ordered the spicy soondae soup and the small soondae plate. I prefer the soondae plate because I think the soup makes the soondae a bit soggy and the plate is a bigger portion.“

“Whether you visit with family, friends or colleagues, this restaurant is proud to provide you with an outstanding dining experience.“

“Compared to other Sullungtang places around K town, their Sullungtang meat is more gamey and pungent, especially tripe mix soup. But a lot of OGs may prefer it that way for being more true to the traditional taste. It was still enjoyable but it's just that I perfer more clean and distilled taste, e.g. Jin Sullungtang in Cerritos/Cypress or maybe Sulga. Personally this was not for me.

Also summer radish Kkakdugi has a bit of strange flavor too, a bit dish-soapy. That's a thing with summer radish but this one was a bit strong.“

“It's a place that sells side dishes and Korean snacks. It's a side dish shop, the interior is clean, and there's only staff, but they help me when I buy side dishes. The side dishes feel a bit expensive, but it's a place worth visiting occasionally.“

“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“

“Town Hof & Thanks Chicken in Koreatown, Los Angeles is a fun and casual Korean fried chicken spot that’s great for dinner, drinks, and late‑night bites, known for its crispy, flavorful fried chicken with sauces like habanero‑garlic, sweet spicy, and soy garlic that many diners rave about. The menu also offers interesting pairings like rosé mala tteokbokki and other Korean pub‑style dishes, and people often enjoy the laid‑back atmosphere with beer, soju, plenty of seating, and TVs for game nights. While it gets crowded on weekends and service can be a bit slow at peak times, the friendly staff, generous portions, and good parking in the plaza make it a solid pick for satisfying Korean fried chicken and drinks with friends.“

“This place is like a Korean convenience store but upgraded and it's right by UCLA. Fresh kimbap, banchan, warm meals, snacks, drinks, ice cream, frozen meal kits and so much more.

What I tried:
- Tteokbokki
- Sweet Chili chicken
- Beef kimbap
- Bong Bong (Korean grape drink with real grape pieces inside)
Total came out $30.86

The price-to-quality ratio is seriously 👌 Affordable, and you can just taste the effort they put into the food. Authentic flavors but elevated quality. The kimbap is so fresh! Thinly sliced ingredients, generous filling, light on the rice. perfect bite every time.

Staff was super friendly, the storefront is clean and easy to spot, and there's public parking available. Already eyeing the egg-only kimbap for next time!“

“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...“

“We ordered a set each and the seafood pancake to share. The seafood pancake is always a standout dish, very delicious and crispy, it's fried but not oily at all and packed with seafood! Definitely a good dish to share. I ordered the soybean paste stew with the boiled pork combo and the pork was so tender and soup was very flavorful!

The side dishes are also so good, the kimchi is always the perfect amount of fermented and sides are the perfect amount of seasoned.

We always come to this restaurant when we are in town, been coming for a couple years now and will happily continue to patronize this establishment. You should try it if you are looking for an authentic, homey, korea food restaurant and there is usually no wait, the aunties serving you are very kind and offer fast service!“
