35 Best Korean Restaurants in Gardena

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I kid you not, this is some of the best food I've ever had, full stop. The mala xiang guo is a must try, it is so perfect, I've already had it twice in the past week! Also highly highly recommend the dakgangjeong, pork ribs, and guo bao rou. Truly every single thing on this menu is a hit, and the owners are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. This place is the best!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“The food is delicious. Once I received my bowl, I was blown away by the portions. My bowl fed two large individuals lol. The kimbap was also delicious. The musubi was fire. The price was right. Overall, I will be coming back when I’m working out here, once a week lol.“

“Solid, reliable Korean eatery specializing in stews. This is nearly a trusty stop for lunch after an evening of drinks and staying out later than usual. I’m a fan of the spicy beef broth w noodles (pasta) - it looks volcanic spicy but it’s more on the savory side.

Have been coming here for some time now and the food is consistent and the service always quick/efficient. Recommend giving it a try if you’re in the mood for a stew/soup. The dumplings are solid as an app.“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“We’ve visited twice and both times we were happy with both the food and service.
It’s a casual and relaxed Korean restaurant that is open late. Service is friendly with the staff making rounds to check on you. We ordered cheese Tteokbokki, SHRIMP Tempura, SHRIMP FRIED RICE, SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP, ROSE PASTA, BIBIMGUKSU, FRIED WINGS 10Pcs, Galbi. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Tteokbokki, rose pasta, shrimp tempura, and wings.“

“Great intestines and love the ban chan that came with the meal! We also got beef brisket as a staple kbbq item.

I personally prefer the daechong but it's nice to get the variety. The intestines also came with mushrooms, garlic, green onion, white onion, rice cakes, potato and probably more that I missed identifying.

The stew was great and the kimchi pancake was nice as well. The glass noodles had great mushroom flavor to it, so pleasantly surprised.

We probably ordered enough for 3-4 people but it actually was just two orders, one of the intestines and beef brisket so bring more people or take home the yumminess.

Highly recommend!“

“My parents and I go to this restaurant whenever I visit them in Gardena. This is one of those restaurants that the local Koreans go to for good food. You know what I mean. We had sullungtang - I chose meat while my mom chose mixed. Excellent food and good banchan. The people around kept on asking for more radish kimchee - I didn’t think it was that good - we preferred their fresh cabbage kimchee.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“It was seriously so good. My friends and I were looking for a place that was open late after playing cards, and this place hit the spot! It was 116 for five of us, and they kept refilling our sides whenever we ran out. Honestly, we've decided this might be our weekly spot to go to! A real gem“

“Just had some of the best chicken wings I’ve had in a long time. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. The waffle fries were perfectly seasoned, the onion rings were crispy and delicious, and the shredded cabbage with dressing was absolutely amazing. Everything paired together so well and made the meal even better.

The service was amazing, and the overall experience was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this spot 10 out of 10, and I’ll definitely be back!

If you want some amazing chicken wings, definitely go here.“

“Sweet Potato Pizza is awesome and Frisx Chicken with Korean Sauce is really delicious! Two Thumbs Up!“

“A nice restaurant for Korean comfort food. The bibimbap was good. It feels less Americanized than most restaurants, which was a good thing. We were a bit sad that the samgye tang didn’t have ginseng in it. I think it might be in the broth when they cook it but we usually get the real ginseng our dish too when ordering this. Overall, the taste was good.“

“Run by an older couple and the restaurant matched their charm. Felt super comforting and the food tasted like what you got when visiting your grandparents. I've tried soondaegook all thru the south bay and this was my favorite. 8th Street soondae in ktown is still my #1 but this is def my #2.“

“We will definitely be back. Stumbled across this place and had Korean army soup for the first time. Delicious! The kimchi fried rice delicious!!! Pork belly delicious!!!! 10/10 and well the drinks 🤩🫶🏼🤩 can’t wait to try everything in the menu.“

“This was actually a Brazilian Steak house prior to this restaurant taking over and was really run down. I have never seen so many customer before until they opened up. Now the place is renovated and has the most awesome mural inside. The staff is so kind and the portions are so large. I love coming across authentic food places that stay true to their passed down recipes. They are incorporating new Togo lunch boxes and they are absolutely perfect to take on the go. Yes the place is hard to find, not their fault, the parking does get packed, and that is because they are so good and authentic. The manager is absolutely such a sweetheart and the owner honestly cooks the food himself with his staff and always has a huge beautiful smile on his face. Do not skip out on getting a cafe to top off your meal. Of course prices are high, you can thank our government for that, quality products are not cheap.“

“Cherrystones catered my brother's celebration of life memorial last Sunday at the Toyota Meeting Hall in Torrance. We were about 120 people. The food and presentation was excellent. We opted for the Kalua Pork and the Teriyaki chicken, both delicious. Loved the broccoli salad and Mac salad. Our guests raved about the food. Cherrystones catered my dad's memorial in 2016 and the food was excellent then. I would not hesitate to use them again if I needed a catering service. Thank you Cherrystones for doing my brother proud.“

“Came here for the first time. The soup is soo goood! We got the beef soup with bone in and it was amazing. So flavorful and rich. One of the best soups I've tasted. Very authentic Korean soup. The people that work there are very nice. I like the decor. From the outside you couldn't tell how nice it is. But inside is super cute. I definitely recommend this place. We will definitely be back.“

“After just one week, I am eating so much food...
I loved the skin scuba trip we had together in La Paz, Mexico... We stopped by a Korean restaurant while waiting at the airport. The atmosphere and service were great...
Thank you, boss. I had a good time... haha“

“We ordered 2 jalapeno kimbap and 2 beef bulgogi kimbap and they gave us 4 little spicy soups that I thought was miso at first but it's not it's a delicious bean sprout jalapeno soup. So good and spicy 😍 The owners were so nice and asked our daughter if she wanted to take a book home 💚 definitely have to go back for a date night with hubby and try their other items“

“I love banchan. I love the variety of vegetables that accompanies the order. This restaurant gave us TEN banchan! I went to this restaurant with my mom. She used to come here often but it was my first time. We ordered pork kimchee soontofu and a combo soontofu with kalbi. They advertise their meat is angus. I like my kalbi more cooked but the meat was soft and good. The soontofu was excellent as well with rice cooked in rock bowl. Loved it.“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“muy bueno, se los recomiendo y el personal es muy amable.“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this Bull BBQ restaurant spot. The meat was incredibly flavorful and high quality, and everything tasted delicious. The service stood out too, our server she was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend & I will definitely be coming again very soon!“

“A small but solid no-frills Korean barbecue restaurant. All the basics one would expect are there. Quality meats, good service, and standard banchan options. But the atmosphere is pretty average.

It's still a great option to experience ayce Korean food at an affordable price. I recommend it.“

“Great service, atmosphere was upbeat and plenty of great food to cook up! Get there early s because place was packed when I left.“

“🙂👍 Great food and delightful people!“

“Great sandwich, friendly staff“

“I came here to get my son some boneless golden original chicken and fries. After paying I thought “man this was expensive” but after receiving the food and seeing how much was given it was definitely worth the price. You can feed 2 persons with the amount of fries and the size of the chicken. And the chicken was extremely delicious. The breading was so crunchy and the chicken was very juicy. I’m not a fan of fried chicken because of the uncertainty of the kind of chicken texture I could get but this was really delicious! We would definitely be coming back again.“
