50 Best Korean Restaurants near Huntington Park

“I've been going to Maria'a since I was a kid. My parents, when they arrived to the US from Mexico would go there and so did my aunts and uncles and cousins. Now I take my kids to eat there. The restaurant has always been the same with great quality food and great service. Maria's restaurant is a gem in the community and will hopefully be there for many more generations. Don't sleep on this place, give it a try.“

“Let me just start off by saying the service here it’s outstanding!! It was my first time trying ramen and the cashier was very friendly and helped me with choosing my first meal. The food was very tasty and fresh! I will definitely come back again!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Akai Asian: A Must-Try 5-Star Experience!
​[Disclaimer: This review is brought to you by a self-made professional food critic reviewer!]
​From the moment I stepped into Akai Asian, I knew I was in for a treat. The warm, inviting ambiance and the sight of happy, cordial diners immediately set a fantastic mood. I felt genuinely welcomed by the staff, who guided me through their extensive menu—and wow, was I blown away by the selection!
​For my first visit, I ordered the Chicken Bento Box, and it was easily a 5-star dish. It was a well-balanced masterpiece!
​The box featured a delightful salad with corn, which was perfectly topped with a nice sesame seed oil dressing—it was incredibly savory and very tasty. It also included four delicious California rolls. Alongside these were some fried veggies and fried shrimp. They were very pleasant; not overwhelmingly greasy or heavy, but perfectly fried right to the bite. Lastly, the star was the delicious chicken served on top of fresh veggies and rice. Everything was perfectly prepared, showcasing the high quality and fresh flavors of Asian cuisine.
​Akai Asian is a delightful setting with stellar service and truly exceptional food. I highly recommend it!“

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“One of the most iconic spots in Koreatown!
The soup arrives with customizable add-ins like green onions, red pepper paste, and minced garlic, letting you tweak the savory depth to perfection. Sides of banchan (kimchi, pickled radish) keep the table lively and flavorful.“

“If you’re chasing premium Korean BBQ in the heart of K-Town, this spot is one of the more elevated experiences in the neighborhood. 🇰🇷🔥 Jeong Yuk Jeom translates to “butcher shop” — and that’s exactly the vibe you get: hand-selected, dry-aged and wet-aged beef cuts cooked over charcoal that deliver rich flavor and juiciness worth savoring.

The restaurant’s interior is sleek and spacious, perfect for groups or date nights, with good ventilation so you don’t walk out smelling like a grill.

Upscale, flavorful, and memorable Korean BBQ in LA.
Would go again? Absolutely — especially for the dry-aged beef and unique dishes you don’t find everywhere. 🍷🥩“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“Ordered the seafood and leek pancake with the assorted mild tofu soup combo and mild wasn't really spicy which is great since I cannot handle too much spice. My friend got the cold noodle jjol myun and it was quite spicy. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious and we asked for refills!“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“Hanu K-BBQ was a highly rated place in LA's Koreatown, so we decided to try it. Clearly review inflation. 4.7 on Yelp and Google. Big focus on getting 5 star yelp reviews. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and its own parking lot.
3.5% credit card fee. Their menu has the typical expensive a la carte meats, but lacks tofu stew.
Lunch Specials 11am-3pm/7days are a great bet.

Meal was fine but not super. Service was drop and go. Probably should have went back to Soowon Galbi or Parks BBQ.

Safety Pluses - Online menu, Delivery services available, online ordering.

Food Review:
Marinated Beef Short Ribs + Buckwheat cold noodle soup ($34.99) lunch special was cooked at our table and consisted of 3 pieces. No BBQ smell at least. Decent quality and reasonable quantity. Huge bowl of cold noodles. Only 4 types of banchan. 8.5/10

Beef brisket soybean paste stew with tofu ($14.99) lunch special is not a big dish and was the closest thing to tofu spicy stew. Very spicy. 8/10

Overall - Good
Food - Good
Decor - Good
Service - Fair
Value - Good

Would we come back - No“

“amazing food and good for family“

“Excellent banchan. I refilled four times. Best kimchi I've ever had. Galbi is superb. Bulgogin is excellent. Angus short rib is superb. Spicy pork is OK. Chicken is surprisingly very good. $140 combo will for sure feed four. They say it's for two but you have to be truly oinkers to eat that much meat. And I am far from vegetarian.“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“KOREAN COUNTRY DINER
Loved this new find in K-Town that serves great Korean Home Food. Reminds me of the countryside restaurants with “mom food”. Everything was good. Special shout out to their Yukgejang, one of my faves. The White Bean Noodle Soup was ground fresh. The Cutlass Fish. The bottomless Ban Chan and Kkak Doi Gee is good!!! Can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to try more of their dishes.“

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

“The food and service were amazing. The meats and options they have here are very unique and delicious, up to 32 different options. The person who gave us our meat was nice and caring. As some side notes, if this is your first time going to Korean BBQ place, you cook your own food so make sure you know how to cook meats, also the music they played here is pretty good!“

“I’ve heard about this place before and all the lore that came with it being one of K-towns gems. I had to come and try it out for myself, what I can say is that truly and honestly it’s one of my favorite spots to eat at. You don’t come here for the frills or the fancy seating you come here to eat good home cooked food. I ordered the combo mudfish and soup meal and boy was I in for a treat the fish was perfectly cooked and all the banchan was perfectly prepared. The Kimchi brewed in house daily and the soup to perfection.

I will for sure be coming back soon!“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“Good food and fast service.“

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

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“Really good kbbq i loves their marinated kalbi and yukhoe, they also had really good banchan and good sake; the ambiance is also really nice since they keep the place bit dim its a great place for date night, taste wise its just as good as many of the ktown kbbq’s that Ive tried, the staff was super friendly as well, highly recommended“

“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.“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“Attended this restaurant for a late lunch. I enjoyed my time dining, very clean, they play Korean music. Definitely a place to bring friends or family to share food portions, I feel as if the price is justified due to the portion. Food + Drink about $40 per person. Soju berry highball is the perfect sweetness. Will come back to show my family this place 😄I really liked the kimchi! Below attached photo of bulgogi hot dish, as you may observe it's served in a traditional stone pot.
- from a Latina lol“

“I know chef KI from meteora restaurant way before and now he have his own .
Dine restaurant KI few times and always Love it .
Great service
Tasty food
Nice atmosphere.
Thank you Chef KI for one more excellent restaurant in our city“

“This place is the coolest, yummiest hidden gem 💎 in ktown!! My waiter was fast and attentive. My favorites were the Rigatoni, honey butter chips, tuna dip was fire and the soju selection blew my mind because I’ve only ever had the flavored green bottle.

The fried chicken was very tasty too! Next time I need to try the beer and other menu items. I found metered parking nearby but there is valet service in the back!“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“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“

“It’s funny to me when people complain about things like not being allowed to split portions for one person, not being able to take food home, sushi being ‘too big,’ or even time limits lol. I think the sense of entitlement is real among some of us. I genuinely love the food, the variety, and the soju—this is honestly one of the best places to enjoy Korean BBQ.

Maybe some people are just used to getting free passes and special treatment elsewhere, but here everyone is treated equally. That’s all it really is.“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“I had dwaeji-gukbap, and I highly recommend it.
There was no unpleasant pork smell, and the thickly sliced meat was very tender.
The pickled perilla leaves served as a side dish were especially delicious—I recommend placing them on the meat and eating them together.“

“JunTong SulLungTang is a cozy Korean restaurant in Los Angeles known for its authentic sullungtang (beef bone soup) and other traditional soups like galbi tang and haejangguk, served with house‑made kimchi and rice that many diners find comforting and flavorful. Customers often praise the rich broth, generous portions, and friendly service in a relaxed, no‑frills setting that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any day of the week. While it’s a simple spot, the hearty soups and classic Korean comfort food make it a go‑to choice for warming up on a chilly day or satisfying cravings for traditional flavors in Koreatown.“

“Town Hof & Thanks Chicken in Koreatown, Los Angeles is a fun and casual Korean fried chicken spot that’s great for dinner, drinks, and late‑night bites, known for its crispy, flavorful fried chicken with sauces like habanero‑garlic, sweet spicy, and soy garlic that many diners rave about. The menu also offers interesting pairings like rosé mala tteokbokki and other Korean pub‑style dishes, and people often enjoy the laid‑back atmosphere with beer, soju, plenty of seating, and TVs for game nights. While it gets crowded on weekends and service can be a bit slow at peak times, the friendly staff, generous portions, and good parking in the plaza make it a solid pick for satisfying Korean fried chicken and drinks with friends.“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

“It's a cool place to enjoy Korean sashimi with different sorts of soups and spicy Korean chowder. They serve Soju, which is a Korean rice alcohol & beers 🍻 as well. The services are really good. The waiters and the waitresses are very nice. It's little expensive, but it's worth it. Gotta check it out!“

“Busy and noisy -- but very tasty. I like a place that takes you at your word when you say you like spicy food.“

“Absolutely phenomenal duck KBBQ. Never had duck for KBBQ and it was decadent. All of the ducks cooks and smothered in duck fat and in the garlic. At the end they made fried rice with banchan and duck fat. It was heavenly. It was perfect for a large group of 10 with their semi-private dining in the back. A must try.“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“It was late in the evening (past midnight) and we waited for over 45 minutes for our food, but the order came out wrong. The older lady with short curly hair was very rude and disrespectful. The only reason I am giving it a 5 star 🌟 is because of Jerome. He was very sincere, apologized and made it right.“
