Korean Restaurants near Hacienda Heights

“The best Chinese vegan restaurant around here!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience at Soo Ra Sang! The Al Jji Gae was exceptionally flavorful, the Kalbi was wonderfully tender and juicy, and the Bulgogi was absolutely perfect. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was very friendly. We are certainly looking forward to returning!“

“DINE IN SPACE REALLY SMALL. I RECOMMEND PLACING YOUR ORDER ON THE APP AND PICK UP. Owners and workers don’t speak English, but are very nice. Food is AWESOME. Everything was cooked perfectly. Everyone at my party really enjoyed it. I should have ordered more.“

“I can’t believe I just found out about this place! The fact that you can make your own teokbbokki is crazy & all the toppings/sauces/everything is so good!!
I also LOVE their fried soondae & their mini bungeopang is so cute/good!
Cannot recommend it enough!
Service is also excellent 😊“

“First time to my sound chicken with friends the service was excellent , she (the Manager) is very friendly and helpful. The fired chicken are so good crunchy and the french fried so tasty. Definitely will come back highly recommend . A+++++“

“The quality of the meat here is seriously amazing 🥩
I highly recommend ordering the beef combo platter! The beef short ribs and Ribeye were both incredibly delicious — juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The beef tongue is also a must-order, sliced to the perfect thickness with a great texture after grilling✨

The steamed egg and cheesy corn that come with the combo were surprisingly good too, definitely not just side dishes 🌽🧀

What made the experience even better was that the staff grilled everything for us the whole time, so we could just relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, such a great dining experience 👍🏻“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“Came here after reading the reviews, not too far from home. Absolutely hit it out of the park. Delicious food, I'll definitely go back. There’s a lot more on the menu I’d love to try. Kimchi fried rice 10/10, fried dumplings 9/10, cucumber kimchi 10/10, radish kimchi 10/10, Beef Bulgogi Sandwich 9/10, six-piece wings with sweet chili 10/10.“

“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.“

“A fantastic spot with a great atmosphere—perfect for all kinds of gatherings. There is a huge selection of drinks and a wide variety of food options. The service is excellent, even when it’s bustling. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“

“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Tried the Curry Katsu Cup and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. Price was beyond reasonable and portions were generous. I also met the owner who was extremely nice and he recommended other dishes for next time. Will definitely come back.“

“Wow! I stopped here on a whim on my way to gas station. So glad I did! Portions are huge, so much flavor and chicken is juicy & delicious. The service made me feel so welcomed and appreciated. One of my new favorite spots!!! Thank you!“

“I tried 3, the spicy eel, butter garlic crab and spicy tuna. The crab was a little disappointing, I dont know why I was expecting real crab but I obvious went in not doing a lot of research. Imitation crab, not favorite, didnt think it was worth the $. The spicy tuna was the best one! Its actually spicy, I would come back for it. This is also the first time I've been here since theres never any parking. Small lot, its probably my least favorite thing about the place. Other than that, not bad!“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“There wasn't a lot of Korean options I could find in SGV for a weekend lunch that included the regular tofu house kind of fare and that wasn't a place that BF and I were not returning to anymore. What caught my eye at Omma Tofu House was their cold buckwheat noodles, a perfect item to order on a hot summer day.

I knew I didn't have enough appetite to finish their combo of galbi and cold buckwheat noodles, so I opted for the cold buckwheat noodles only ($14.99). BF ordered the bulgogi and beef tofu soup combo ($22.99). Everything really hit the spot.

We've been back multiple times to try other things on their menu like their dolsot bibimbap, jajangmyeon, galbi, spicy pork, spicy grilled chicken, and seafood pancake. All were pretty solid. Our usual go-to now would be a solo order of tofu soup and a tofu soup combo with whatever protein we are in the mood for that meal. They refill banchan, so just bring back the empty plate to the counter for some more. The counter also has a self-serving water/tea machine so you can refill your cup too.

Plenty of parking in the plaza. They close at 8 pm for all 7 days of business, so don't stop by too late, as the food court also tends to shut down around that time.“

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.“

“love this place! i’ve been here a few times and the food never disappoints. the prices are very reasonable as well. i’ve had the curry udon, sausage udon stir fry, korean corn dog and kimchi fried rice in the past and they all were very delicious. the family who runs the restaurant are very nice and the restaurant is decorated with lots of bulldog decor.“

“My family and I love your food. There are only two things I don’t like. The first is that the rice is very sticky, to the point that it’s difficult to separate when eating. The second is that they put too much cabbage, which honestly doesn’t have much flavor. My recommendation is to replace it with something else.
Other than that, the food is very tasty. This is just a suggestion, made with all due respect.“

“Hidden gem, great for lunch and they do catering. I ordered multiple items for catering for a party, and my guest kept telling me how amazing the food was. Three of my guests went to eat at the restaurant the next week and again told me how amazing it was.“

“This is THE spot for gamja tang in the OC. The soup base here is spot on. It's just so savory and smooth and flavorful. The steamed pork cabbage wraps are to die for. And our family's favorite dish is their potatoe pancakes! It's one off the most delicious thing you'll ever eat! I love that the had Sunkist grape soda today, which was the cherry on top!“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“The quality of food and service at this place is amazing! Definitely a hidden gem but I’m glad I found it and have been back multiple times! Mrs. Sunhwa, always greets me with a smile and prepares everything so well! Can’t wait for the next time I’m in the area for another awesome bowl! 😋“

“Love Gangnam Kimbob so much. Very laid back atmosphere. Service is always hospitable and upbeat. Food options are plentiful and delicious. You also get a lot for your dollar here imo. The kimbop is very filling and always leaves me feeling good about my choice to eat out given the portion of veggies contained within. I usually cycle between the tonkatsu, tempura shrimp, ssam and spicy ssam kimbops, while my wife loves to order their shin ramyun. They also have some interesting combos for lunch and dinner I’ve yet to try, but come with a variety of food that seem like a great option when you don’t only crave one thing. I can’t recommend this place enough.

P.S. they do discounts during their happy hour“

“This is #1 Korean Food restaruant in LA hands down, it is the only restaurant I have seen that gives MORE food than the photos.

Pork Belly wrap is so authentic in taste I thought I was in Korea, and you can tell every item is super delicious. Plus it was big enough for 2- 3 people👏

I plan to try every single item this place offers.“

“Best best best Korean bbq in Fullerton Brea placentia Yorba linda area. After da Rae went out of business I had to find a new favorite spot. I love the Galbi. The cold noodle soup is top ranked number 1. And the bibimbap hot pot is great too.“

“Not only the gomtang (beef bone soup) but all the other dishes here are delicious, too. We ordered the budae-jjigae (army base stew); the portion was generous, and it tasted great.
And the server was so friendly. We had an even better time thanks to the server who took care of us.“

“Traditional Korean food at its best. They have a great variety of dishes, and I liked that the food wasn’t overly salty. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The service was fast and attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The meat dishes were excellent, and the cold noodles were clean, refreshing, and full of flavor. I’ve tried many Korean restaurants, and this is definitely one of the better ones. I will be coming back again.“

“Drove 1 & half hours to eat here & I highly recommend you make the drive too!!

It's delicious
Pictures do it no justice.
Service was excellent.
And the vibes were just right. Small family owned & ran business Roxy was great Chef is awesome.

Stop by & thank me later!“

“I stumbled upon this gem and soooo happy to have found. The service is beautiful and the food is to die for. I was offered a delicious pumpkin drink that blew my mind. Grabbed a couple of items, including kimchi to reduce my cooking this week. On my list of gems now 🫶🏽🔥“

“My boyfriend and I came here today because we kept seeing TikTok creators recommend this place, and we wanted to try it for ourselves before believing the hype. We are so glad we did!

The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. We were both genuinely surprised and impressed by how tasty everything was.

The service was also outstanding. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made our experience even better.

If you’re thinking about trying this place, definitely give it a chance. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

❤ Thank you for the amazing food and great service!“

“Tang was exactly what we were craving after a night out. The portions were generous, and the side dishes complemented the meal well. Since the soups already include rice noodles, I skipped out on the extra rice.

We ordered the soondae guk and the galbi tang. The galbi was rich and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the soondae (blood sausage). The texture was different, filled with a mixture of pork blood and noodles.

Overall, it was a great dining experience and a perfect choice for a morning comfort meal. Definitely a spot worth returning to.“

“All the side dishes and main menus here are hands-down the best among all Korean restaurants in Orange County.
The neat and heartfelt side dishes,
and the main dishes made without skimping on any ingredients, are all truly delicious.
Our family is sincerely a loyal regular at Hanmi Restaurant.“

“Overall decent place for Korean Home Food. The Bibim Nangmyeon was good. But the namesake Yuk Gae Jang is just OK. Not bad. Not great. It happens to be one of my fave Korean dishes. So I try it everywhere. Hodori / Myung Ga / Gamjagol ranked higher for me.“

“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“i like the food, big serving & it’s worth the price, i hope they willnot increase the price or lessen the service.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“Finally we came to this Korean restaurant tonight and knew that we had made the right decision. We tried their Bossum and Seafood pancake and it turned out they were really delicious. Our server was very friendly and professional. Their pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant!“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“The seafood pancake was incredibly delicious. Such fresh ingredients. The green onions were crunchy and thick. The octopus, fish, and shrimp flavors were the right combination of salty and sweet. The egg batter just perfectly seasoned. And that outside crunch...it spoke to my soul.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“I am not Korean but I love this restaurant. They serve true comfort food. The galbi tang is so tasty as well as the braised beef. Now that they started serving rice cake soup with dumpling, all of my Korean comfort food is in one place. Yay!“

“Absolutely phenomenal ! And the food is absolutely delicious I couldn't believe I spent under $20 for such a wonderful design of takeout box it was beyond expectation like seriously, the only problem is probably the portion is not as much as I want . But overall it is worth it ! I would definitely coming back soon“

“Moved from Pomona to Vegas and I miss this place... I'm having a hard time finding another place that rivals it. Everything I've ever ordered is amazing. Their soy garlic wings, full fried chicken, bossam, fire chicken, Korean army stew, the sojuritas... Will be coming back whenever I visit home.“

“We went here on Saturday for dinner for the first time and found the place to be very nice, cozy and food is very good. We ordered the Hand Pulled Dough Soup and the spicy squid with sides of rice noodles. Both were very tasty. I especially love the hand pulled dough soup. The soup is just right. Not salty, not spicy. I think it's one of the best soup we ever had.
The place is clean and service is very friendly. We just surprised this place is not all packed because the food is ready good.
Highly recommended this special Korean food restaurant and we marked this as one of our favorites.“

“I used to live in Buena Park and came here at least once a month. Way better than bcd imo and the side dishes are what make me come back. I was a little sad that I couldn't pack the side dishes to go, but other than that very good experience. My son and daughter loved the robot waiter. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area“
