18 Best Korean Restaurants in Fullerton

“Good Korean fried chicken. The gim ballad and honey luv rap provided a crunchy crisp exterior while the flesh remained quite juicy and tender. Large portions make this restaurant very worth it. We would like to try the spicy flavors next time.

The loaded fries were a hit as well. The potatoes were coated with flour to make them extra crispy then drizzled with kimchi and cheese.“

“I love wings! So when a Coworker brought me to this place and I was a bit skeptical but was ultimately blown away. They didn't have the flavors I'm used to but the ones they did have were terrific!
First time trying sweet and spicy and first time trying Mango Cart beer. The mix was delicious can't wait to go back.

Parking: Shared Plaza parking, had no issue finding a sopt right in front on a Friday evening.“

“I am a first-generation Korean who visits Korea often. This place has become our go-to spot for Korean food (my husband who is 5th generation Californian).
- Tasty: Even my picky 80 years old uncle loves their food.
- Fresh ingredients: No frozen, no old ingredients
- They don't cut corners. For instance, one of favorite Korean dishes is stir-fried squid (calamari), which HamaHippo makes exceptionally well (try it with noodles if you can take gluten) - tasty and generous with the portion of squid. They close on Sunday but I needed to go out for a dinner, so I went to my former go-to Korean restaurant and ordered the same dish. Most of the dish was noodle with very little, not-well thawed squid. After visiting my former go-to Korean restaurant, I appreciate the food quality of HamaHippo even more. Another example, when you order Bibimbap, you will get variety of fresh, generous portion of vegetables.
- Super reasonable prices, especially considering how fresh the ingredients are.

Vegetarian options: I am a pescatarian. The owner says they can make any dish vegetarian-friendly, even vegan. For example, in my case, when I ordered Bibim Naeng Myun in a hot day, I asked if it was vegetarian. They usually use beef broth for the sauce but accommodated my dietary choice by bringing the beef broth separately, which my friend enjoyed. The dish was delicious.“

“Mr BBQ is probably one of the best All You Can Eat Korean BBQ spots you can eat at in Southern California. The whole place has an upbeat and fun vibe. It's a great place for celebrating or having a party, or just as a fun place to go. All of the portions and sides are generous and high quality. The servers are attentive and make everyone feel welcomed (especially on their birthday)

The beef brisket is thin sliced, and unbeatable. Bulgogi is exceptional here, also. They also have a fantastic selection of drinks, especially the craft beer selection they offer.

There is a free parking lot, but at peak hours, it can be hard to find parking. It's not really a problem since you can park on a nearby street and walk over. Can't say enough good things. Its also just extra fun that they always keep up with the seasonal decorations throughout the year.

Vegetarian options: Its possible to make a vegetarian meal here. There are vegetables and other side dishes that can be grilled to make a pretty filling meal.

Dietary restrictions: Its easy to be selective about what you want since you cook it yourself.

Parking: Sometimes parking can be hard to find at peak hours. There is residential parking near by.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family-friendly atmosphere

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking and access.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“Food was good. It is the usual traditional broths and dishes (beef or pork). Pairs well with soju. Felt like a Korean restaurant with a 2k-ish vibe. I would prefer this over a combo anything at fast food places. By the way, if you are not familiar with Korean restaurants, check the side of the table for a drawer. Utensils are inside. If utensils are not brought to you, it is normally at the table.“

“This cute little place is amazing, authentic Korean BBQ and so much more! Tofu soup, banchan, various meats like Bulgolgi and boiled pork belly for wraps with lettuce, Napa and other lovely vegetables. Kalbi was so amazingly delicious! Complimentary seafood pancake served as an appetizer. You must try this! Oh and raw spicy marinated crabs. Exotic!



Parking: A small lot next to the restaurant, but a huge lot right next to the small one. We had plenty of great parking for our family.“

“I love there rice wing. I don’t come here often but when I do come down to Fullerton. I always try to order the wing because it so crispy and so good. It’s one of the chicken place I would die for. Sooooooo delicious“

“I wake up 30 minutes early every morning to eat kimbap here ^^ It’s really delicious. Be kind. However, it's a pity that they sell out so quickly that if you go late, there won't be enough kimbap. If you go before 8 a.m. on a Saturday, you can try almost all of the menu items ^^ Highly recommended!“

“I bought old-fashioned sausage, spam kimbap, and tofu sushi, and it was really delicious haha. It's a dish that my father approved of ??!!! For reference, my father is the person in charge of in-flight meals at Korean Air. This is the first time my father approves of food??“

“(Translated by Google) This place sells really good agricultural and marine products and the owner is very kind. I went to buy a bag of pancakes and then bought a box.(Original)이곳은정말좋은농수산물을판매하고주인아저씨는참 친절하다.팽떡한봉지사러갔다가한박스사온 ..정말 입에서 살살 녹는다“

“Super fast and friendly service. It's always so yummy eating at this place with my two girls and their cousins. Super easy access to the restaurant! Noodles and their mandu are so good - actually all their menu items are so delicious! Can't wait until we try again next time.“

“Wow~ After L.A. Hanta Jingogae, there won't be a restaurant more delicious than this one. If you think of goat meat with preconceived notions, you are mistaken. It doesn't contain any meat and is perfect for beginners. It's friendly.“

“Came here on Saturday night since we were shopping at Kohls and needed a quick dinner.My kids were hungry.Was greeted by a gentleman associate.Easy to order & received my Angus Steak plate pretty fast.I had the option of brown rice & weither I’d like full plate of the protein or with veggies.Having veggies doesn’t make your protein options much less.Food was good. The plate comes with half a slice orange fruit.There is a magic sauce along w hot sauce dispenser at the counter.Prices has gone up. Understandable due to inflation.It’s just like any other Flame Broiler restaurant.Located right next to Acai Republic, same plaza as Kohls near Ralphs super market.Lots of parking available.“

“Food and service are all good, but the surroundings are not so good. There is no parking, and there is a laundry and liquor store next to it, so the environment is not very good and there is not much parking. The egg kimbap was generous, soft, and delicious.

Parking: It's not very nice to have Liquor and Laundry next to it.“

“The few times I've had Flame Broilers have always been good, healthy choice of food. Simply flavored protein with blanched veggies and rice with a little raw green onions on top for freshness. I mean it's nothing to rave about, but solid healthy option when you haven't packed lunch. If you eat it rationally, you shouldn't be left feeling like it lacked in any category of meat, veggie flavor, or carb. Solid all around healthy fast food.“

“Food was DELICIOUS, at a great price, great variety and well served. I highly recommend ordering a variety of food and sharing in a group.
I LOVED their chili oil wontons!! That was definitely my favorite but all other foods were just as delicious- I need to return and try more variety.

When I went, they were a bit short staffed but staff was still very attentive and kind. I found it funny and considerate how before we paid they informed us that there was no need to tip as it is always added to the bill; they were great so we still added a bit extra to the tip.

I will definitely be coming back with my family. They tasted the leftovers I brought home and are hooked so now they need to have it hot and fresh.“

“I came before closing so the restaurant was quiet. I ordered the half and half bowl and it was more than satisfying. The beef and chicken were equally delicious. For added flavor you have to add the magic sauce.. Not spicy - just flavorful. I would like this place more if they had a location near Chicago. Very good restaurant. Very good food. Come check them out.“
