24 Best Korean Restaurants in Garden Grove

“One of my favorite places to get naengmyun. Mo Ran Gak is a name that is widely known to have reputable cold noodles.
When you get a meat dish with naengmyun, they give you a small side dish of the spicy one as well. Or vice versa if you got the spicy, you'll get the broth one as a side.
There is a small parking lot here and usually a line even right when they open.
I would advise on coming early or putting aside enough time to wait 1 hour before being seated on a busy day.“

“Awesome“

“This place was amazing. Great service from the staff, beginning to end, made sure we were well taken care of. Then there is the food, and it did not disappoint. Very healthy portions and the flavor profiles were next level. Safe to say everything that hit the table was delicious. My friend and I spend a lot of time going to different food places and doing reviews, and this is one of those places we will be referring our own family and friends to. So if you have not checked it out, I highly suggest that you do. It's worth the while and the prices are more than fair. You definitely get the bang for your buck here.“

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“1 year ago I went here for the 1st time, ordered noodle #2, black bean, fried rice and a soup. The beef noodle #2 is the only item I order after that. I grew up eating so many ramen and Chinese noodle plates in San Gabriel Valley area and at little tokyo, Jeong 's noodle is my top 1 or 2. I invited my family and friends over to try it,they all liked it. The business next door has people lining up all the time, but I wasn't impressed by their food. Jeong 's Noodle deserves that long line.“

“Kind of a hidden hole in the wall spot a bit off of the main Garden Grove Koreatown strip.

Good set of 반찬 (side dishes) and the portions were large. I ordered the 갈비탕 (rib soup) and it had large pieces of meat that fell off the bone.“

“My friend and I got their spicy marinated crab and it was soooo good. The perfect texture and flavor. It wasn’t too spicy and it paired so well with rice and seaweed. We also got the beef soup with dumplings and rice cake which was also amazing as well! The workers here are so kind too“

“Simple Korean comfort food set in a cute little restaurant setting-

Got the Korean katsu meal which comes with soup , along with a roll of bulgogi kimbap and my husband got their combo set with ddukbokki and kimbap, which came with two dumplings.

Simple, fresh and delicious with kind and welcoming servers“

“Have been coming here for years! Their jokbal is so chewy and full of collagen. And I can't speak enough about their soondae gookbap, it is very delicious with full of flavors. If you are at H mart for grocery shopping I recommend stopping by at this place to try their food. I high recommend!“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“I’ve eaten here about a dozen times over the last six months and the quality is consistently high and the service is great! I love 92 Chicken and like it more than bb.q chicken.

The fried chicken is juicy inside and crisp outside. The fries and onion rings are superb and the pizza is generous.

The lady who serves is super friendly and generous with drinks and sides!“

“Excellent food. 👍. Will come back again.“

“The kalguksu here is absolutely delicious, with rich and comforting broth and chewy handmade noodles. The barley rice served on the side is nutty and wholesome, making the perfect pairing. Generous portions and heartwarming flavors — I’ll definitely be back!“

“It's not bad I like it. If there were more selections I'd give it a 5 star“

“This spots food was really good. Had the spicy pork stew, on point. Could've had a few less bones and more meat. I filled up a plate with them. A nice selection of little side dishes to go along with the meal. The stew broth was awesome.. looking forward to making some rice 2moro and throwing the broth on it.. im gonna go there again and try it for a 2nd time..“

“Extremely good crab dish for about $40 but you get a whole fresh (raw) crab and they show you how to eat it so I was quite happy about it. The server opened up the crab and squeezed the meat out right there for you. I didn’t expect this awesome food performance from the food court type restaurant. Other Korean dishes are very good too. My favorites are the seafood pancake and the tofu soup. Totally worth a stop! One of the not many places I want to be back!“

“I like the big portion of this restaurant. I went 2 people so we ordered 2 dishes. We tried: 1. Pork Back Bone Stew: very huge portion. The meat is soft and you can feel the broth has been well cooked that gives you the sweet and rich taste. 2. Stir Fried Squid (because I love squid!): very good. This dish can be eaten with rice (if you want to be full) or will paired good with a taste of Soju. The portions are big so don't over ordering or you will have some food to go. The food is a little plaint and there's salt to add (if you are a salty food fan) to assure you don't leave the broth behind. You will feel healthy as you leave the place. Will be great to have for hangover or when you are sick. I went on a weekend night for dinner and the restaurant was a little quiet. I think this place is most suitable for lunch. I would definitely come back to try their other stews and pork belly!“

“This place is about 8 miles from where I live but is always worth the drive. Food is delicious and is served right away. The price is cheaper compared to other Korean bar/restaurants. The army soup was slightly bland, but still hot the spot. Seafood pancake had enough seafood - they didn’t just put a ton of dough. The music was very loud though - I felt like I was at a club.“

“A little hidden gem in Garden Grove. They're under new ownership as of about a month ago. I've had the pleasure of trying out their bento boxes, sushi rolls, and their chicken sandwiches, all of which are super delicious!
Definitely worth a try. :)“

“All the 1-star reviews are from people who got lost and couldn’t find the place. It’s really not that hard, just drive a little bit further down Fern and you’ll see the signage and gate as the entrance is in the back-lot of the business plaza where Lux Spa is.

The host was extremely nice and the food tasted great. Planning on returning to try more of the menu and the extensive drink selection.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant for a while now, and it's honestly one of my favorites for Korean food. So far I've tried the jajangmyeon, bibimbap, ramen, tteokbokki, galbi (beef ribs), bulgogi (beef), and gimmari (seaweed vegetable rolls). Everything I've gotten off the menu so far is so delicious! My favorites are the bulgogi, jajangmyeon, and galbi! The food is always fresh and hot when you pick it up. Aside from the food, the staff is always so kind and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking to try Korean food.“
