10 Best Korean Restaurants near Encinitas

“loved the salad and dessert i ordered, half-a cado salad and strawberries and cream custard,“

“Best korean in New Hampshire! authentic korean. this is not korean bbq, though they do have kalbi. my favorite is soondubu soup, stone pot bibimbap, and japchae. I get it without egg and no meat. i enjoy dining in for the stone pot that crisps the rice, but also enjoy take out. everything is wrapped up good and safe. my family manages a severe nut allergy and eat here safely weekly.“

“Pay attention everyone. THIS is how you operate a sushi restaurant.

We were greeted by the sushi chefs from across the room as we entered the front door. Seconds later, the wait staff guided us to a table. Water arrived lickity split, and our waitress patiently checked on us a couple of times until we were ready to order.

Miso soup and a side salad came with our entrees; they came out quickly and were delicious. The sushi didn’t take long, either. Before we knew it, our plates were empty and the owner herself came by to see how we enjoyed our meal. And we weren’t big spenders like the table next to us, but we were treated as if we were.

This is how you run a restaurant. It’s really not a high bar, but it’s astonishing how so few restaurants “get it.”“

“Being aware of the 20 minute wait for the chicken, we ordered our sandwiches in advance and picked them up. The sandwiches were well worth the wait. The chicken is cooked up fresh and juicy and coated with a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. Easily the best fried chicken sandwiches in the area. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but with chicken this good, it does not to have to be. We will be back to explore the interesting menu!
Edit: Back again to try the kimchi fried rice. Another WOW!“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“Happy Hour is such a good deal - pretty much everything is 50% off - apps, sushi, special rolls, entrees. Only sashimi, drinks and a small section of the rolls are not on sale.
the yellowtail nigiri I had was super fresh.
Crispy rice was excellent!
Rolls are huge! But not in a good way. I like traditional size that fits nicely in your mouth in one bite, but they have american size rolls, oh well.“

“Great place! The best rice bowls ever. Everything is so fresh.“

“Amazing Korean fried chicken with amazing tasting sauce and authentic picked radish that Koreans must eat with chicken- :)“

“The server was extremely nice and helpful. The chicken was really crunchy and big, but also really oily, but that's to be expected, it is deep fried afterall. The flavor of the original chicken was really good. We also got tteokbokki and it was soft and the flavor was sweet. The cheese balls were a good size as well. The kimchi fried rice is also oily but I think that is expected, it is fried. Overall I think the flavor of the food was good. I specially want to highlight our beautiful server for being such a lovely person.“

“I got the strips and radish as the side. Order half spicy half garlic. OMG it was tasty 👅 AF. The price was a bargain compared to the quality and quantity of food I got. The hostess was 🔥🔥🤘. Great customer service.“
