50 Best 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!“

“Bro the food is phenomenal it was so bomb but the store was like not the cleanest or it didn’t look nice but the workers are so amazing cuz like I actually couldn’t wait anymore my big back butt literally couldn’t wait so I was waiting outside and the lady literally walked out to hand it to me but I thought that was pretty sweet the food was so good imma always buy my chicken here“

“Tteokboki like you never had before

If you're a fan of tteokbiki then this place elevates that experience.

From the customization and selection, it was a delicious experience .

If I had a choice between fried chicken and tteokbiki ( they sell both) i would normally eat more chicken.

But in this instance, I kept going back for tteokbiki more and more, completely forgetting the chickens existence.

This isn't do downgrade the chicken, the chicken was absolutely delicious, but I kept going back for more rice cakes.

Would visit again“

“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+++++“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“It's a little restaurant and it's wheelchair accessible. Even though it's small there's enough space for families to eat there or a party. The food is really good. The place is clean. The only complaint I had was it was a bit warm in there. The people that work there are very nice and knowledgeable about their menu. Service was fast and friendly! We spent under $40 for two people to eat with drinks.“

“Hey guys, don’t miss out on this place especially the tacos. They soft and crispy like no other place I’ve ever tried ,and my dad is a cook. sorry Dad, but the food speaks for itself like he taught me👌🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🌮🌮“

“One of the best inari sushi spots I've tried! Everything tasted amazing, the portions were generous, and the prices were hard to beat. The staff made us feel so welcome with their friendly service. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“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!“

“Bibimbap was okay 7/10.
The OG kimbap was really good 9/10
And the free broth they serve is amazing as well. The foods portion is also pretty big.
Will definitely stop by again soon.

*update 9/13
Came here more than three times now, getting the og kimbap everytime, so delicious.“

“My family and I come here pretty often, and today we came to celebrate grandpa’s birthday. I was actually the one who suggested Yangmani since we’ve always had a good experience here.
We ordered two Chef’s Cut Combos and one Variety Combo for the table. If you’re a big meat eater, the portions might feel a little small, but for us it was plenty and we left pretty full. The meat quality is always really good, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back.
The staff is also always really nice and friendly. There are so many new Korean BBQ places opening up these days, but somehow we still end up coming back to Yangmani in Rowland Heights.
I wish I had taken more pictures though! I only took a picture of the first round of meat, and after that we got too busy eating and I totally forgot. 😂“

“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.“

“Had a great experience at Eighty Eight Q! The food was really good, but the service from Hermione was what really stood out.

She was super attentive and somehow always knew when we needed more meat, sides, or dessert. She would check in at just the right time without us having to flag her down or ask. It made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.

You can tell she really pays attention to her customers and takes pride in her service. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve had at a Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“We ordered the #1 combo for five people that had jokbal, bossam and spicy noodles. We loved how moist and tender the jokbal and bossam were. Seasoned perfectly. Veggies (lettuce and napa cabbage) that came with them were fresh. We thought the amount of food was generous and the banchans had good variety. The owner lady was nice and attentive. Great experience!!“

“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.“

“some of the best korean food there is, with reasonable prices! so far i’ve tried the galbi tang and gamja tang and they’re both heavenly. the side dishes, especially the kimchi were so good as well! it’s a family run restaurant, and the staff were really nice. they have lunch specials that are worth checking out as well. plenty of parking in the parking lot. the portions are huge as well. please check them out!“

“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…“

“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.“

“We came here craving a hearty, authentic meal, and it completely exceeded expectations. We ordered their signature Gamjatang and it was phenomenal. The broth is deeply flavorful, rich, and simmered to perfection with tender pork bones that practically fall off the bone.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“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.“

“The pork katsu was amazing, but the macaroni and the salad need some improvement. I hope it was just an off day, but the macaroni had a strange taste, and the salad was bland. I really hope those two items are improved because the pork katsu itself was excellent.“

“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.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“My family and I had a great and amazing experience here. Not only was the food tasty but Sun, the lady at the register, is really sweet and was very kind to my daughters. I would definitely come back again and try the other items they have on their menu.“

“Food was amazing and service was too“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This Korean shop features kimbap, box lunches, and a range of pickled delicacies. We ordered a box lunch that includes chicken, vegetable omellete, dried baby fish, and two kinds of pickles, a serving of rice, and cup of soup. All of this for $15! The combo is a mixture of sweet, tart, hot, chewy, crispy flavors for a refreshing lunch.“

“I ordered the $39 lunch course. Unfortunately, the portions were quite small, and the food itself was honestly underwhelming.

The braised short ribs came with about one piece of meat per person, and they were way too sweet for my taste. The brisket soybean paste stew was also very greasy. The gujeolpan was delicious, but the portion was extremely small.

That said, the service was top-notch. The atmosphere was also beautiful—it’s hard to find a Korean restaurant with such a nice ambiance. I just wish the food and portions were better for the price.“

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

“One of my favorite spots for lunch in Downtown Fullerton. Spotlessly clean mom and pop spot, with friendly, helpful staff.

No frills. Just good food at a good price, served fast. Perfect spot for local employees to grab lunch and get back to the office in a half-hour.

If you haven't tried the Ubu, or you're weirded out by it, it's time to dive in and give it a try. Soft tofu skin, nice cool rice, and a heaping pile of your favorite filling. Honestly, they give you enough filling for two Ubus, easily. And it's delicious.

If you just want to pop in for a bowl of instant Ramyun, you cook it yourself on an EZ Cook, which is kinda fun. Plus, instant Ramen with an Ubu on the side for $10 is an unbeatable deal, right now.“

“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 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!“

“A large group of us just had dinner there. The food was amazing and the staff were great. So happy with our choices. The yam fries are phenomenal! All the food was!❤️“

“The food was great. We asked for a lot of salad refills. Our server Madison was very friendly. Chicken was great. It's all baked. I love Korean chicken. Every time I come back to Buena Park, I always come here. Best chicken in town. Gobble chicken forever!“

“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.“

“I visited a Korean sushi place in Buena Park, CA, and tried their assorted sashimi combo, it was incredibly generous and offered excellent value. The combo featured several types of fish, including tuna, salmon, halibut, and two white-fleshed varieties perfect for dipping in Korean gochujang sauce. The dish was served with crisp perilla leaves and an assortment of sides. To top it off, I enjoyed a delicious fish roe egg soup (al tang) and a bomb abalone porridge.

Also, the servers were incredibly sweet and attentive, which only enhanced the dining experience. Plus, if you're in the mood for drinks, they offer alcohol, making it a fun spot to join friends for a night out (although I didn't partake).

Overall, I’d rate this place a solid 10/10 for its food quality, service, and ambiance.

Note: Unlike Japanese sashimi, which is typically flash-frozen, Korean sashimi (hwal) is often served with live fish, ensuring an exceptionally fresh taste. Enjoy!“

“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!“

“This is the place we went to have a quick bite when we moved to Diamond Bar 8 years ago and then we found so many other places to eat and almost forgot this restaurant. Recently we visited this place again, the menu is same except price a little higher. The quality of food are same but now they gave you disposable chopsticks instead of re-usable ones in the past. Other than that, not much change, always busy but the waiting time is tolerable. I like this beef BBQ rib combo with seafood tofu soup and they are good. They don’t have steak knife but so provide a pair of scissors and a small pair of tongs so that you don’t have to eat BBQ beef with just chopsticks.“

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

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

“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.“

“Love this restaurant. The food is very delicious. Their radish and kimchi is very seasoned and delicious. I love their beef gogi sulungtang and the intestine sukmgeh sulungtang. Everything is probably good om the menu but I only tried these 2. They habe been around for many yea so I trust them. Its perfect when ur sick!! The soup warms ur body and nourishes u!!“

“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“
