50 Best Korean Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

“I think this is a really legit Korean diner! Staff seems great and place is clean and simple like you would find in Korea. For the first time, I tried cold bean noodle soup. It has such a thick and creamy soymilk broth, a very filling treat on a hot day. The super flavorful banchan complement really nicely. Exceptional quality.“

“Like the food clean place the waiter and waitress are courteous“

“Best place ever!!! Great service, great food, great people!!!!“

“바삭바삭한 후라이드, 매콤한 양념치킨과 입맛을 확 당기는 간장치킨. 중학교 시절 나에게 첫 치느님의 문을 열어준 건 치킨데이였다. 치킨데이 왕자님의 인맥을 통해 가끔씩 공짜로 얻어먹던 닭들은 나에게 있어 얘기치 못한 즐거움, 마치 공원에 누워 네잎클로버를 찾는 행운이었다. 하지만 10년이 지난 지금 난 깨달았다. 치킨데이는 네잎클로버가 아니란걸. 한국에 와서 내노라하는 네네 스노윙, BHC 뿌링클, 굽네 고추바사삭 치킨을 먹어봐도 내 마음속 한 구석엔 늘 채워지지 않는 공허함이 자리잡고 있었다. 맛은 있지만 정이 없는, 뒷마당에서 키우던 강아지를 보신탕으로 먹으면 이런 맛이었을까? 그래서 이 리뷰를 통해 치킨데이에게 사과의 말을 전하고 싶다. 너가 최고라는 걸 깨닫기까지 10년이나 걸려서 미안하다고. 너는 행운의 네잎클로버가 아닌 항상 내 발밑에 자리잡고 있던 행복의 세잎클로버라고.“

“You absolutely must try their wings! The original spicy and honey garlic flavors are delicious, but the whole chicken flour is weird to me—it’s not good at all. One of the employees here is incredibly friendly and makes me feel like I should tip him every time I order, while the others aren’t as nice.“

“Love this place! The food is very authentic and high quality meat. The servers are also very tentative. We ordered the small beef combo. The soup at the end is very tasty but we are way too full. It can serve at least 3-4 ppl. Def recommended!“

“Our favorite (non AYCE) Korean bbq (thanks to our friend Heny for the recommendation) Great quality of meat, great service, and great ambiance. So many other options if you’re not feeling Korean Bbq, we like to order their soup and spicy cold noodle. And we love that it’s located in our favorite Madang plaza in Ktown.“

“I brought my grandmother, aunt, and husband here and they loved it! The quality of the beef was amazing.
We got the A combo (medium) and it was so much food! We got cold noodles and 육회 as well. Our server was amazing too!! So nice and very clean :) will come back again!“

“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~♡♡♡♡♡“

“Good food and fast service.“

“全世界最好喝的牛骨湯！拜託一定要嘗試，大火久燉絕不馬虎！太喜歡了！
The best soup ever! And the rice is really good as we’ll even take-out. My friend said their kimchi is authentic and surprisingly delicious(I don’t eat kimchi so.)The staffs there are welcoming. There are only sells the beef bone soup, after you tried you’ll know why. Because they just want to make a product the best, but they do it! Even though i don’t have soup often,this time i finished it all. It’s really worth visiting again!“

“Tonight we were blessed by the presence of Royce 🙏 He greeted us with care and was super nice. We purchased the Ahgassi combo and everything was super delicious because it was cooked well by Royce. We also ordered the Dae Gopchang and the Yook Hwe (raw meat) which were also delicious. The meat was well attended to and the atmosphere was very chill. The music playing in the background was great because the playlist was FIRE 🎶🔥 If you want a good experience at this restaurant, you should definitely request Royce to cook for you! He made our first dinner in Los Angeles an unforgettable one! 🫶“

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

“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.👍🏻“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“I came here with my family to eat and everything was perfect. The lady greeted us with a smile as soon as we walked in and we were seated immediately. We ordered EunDaeGoo Jorim and Gajaemi and they were delicious. Definitely recommend this place and became one of my favorites.“

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

“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. ☺️“

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

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

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

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

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

“The amazing short rib dinner, the drinks, dessert, the impeccable service from reservations, table side service, and management, all made the most perfect Valentines Day dinner. Thank You!! 🙏🏼💖🔥“

“Located in the Blossom Food Hall, this was the former Workaholic that made Korean fusion dumplings.

I'd recommend their Manduyu Special since their Rice 2 Meet You is pretty good, but consists of mostly meat and a lot of rice (great portions!) Their Mandu is definitely the best that they would have.

Food is prepared quickly“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

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

“Absolute top notch Korean comfort food. They have a large selection of tofu soups, as well as other “Omma Specials”, or a combination if you have trouble deciding. The food is wonderful and perfectly made with high quality ingredients and tasting delicious. They have 5 side dishes which are all amazing. The staff are friendly and the food court is very clean.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Tucked away in a plaza in the heart of Los Angeles, HanEuem is the quintessential authentic Korean food serving comfort food and good vibes.

As one of the better places to get raw marinated crab, HanEuem already gets my appreciation and approval. Keep in mind they often run out of the soy sauce marinated crab (bummer, I know!) but their spicy crab isn't bad either.

Their food portions are generous and it truly does taste like comfort Korean food, retaining the authentic flavors while also giving them their own personality.

The place is cozy with sufficient seating for a good amount of people given the size of the place. Being in a plaza, for better or for worse, yes this is yet another valet spot in Ktown.

The service is good, the staff is friendly, and they help you out if needed.

Overall, HanEuem delivers on the promise and is a great spot to grab a meal. Solid 4.5 stars.“

“Absolutely amazing! The owner is so so sweet. Food comes out fast in the Korean corndogs are lightly battered to perfection. Highly recommend going here and getting all their different Korean corn dogs but also they’re soddeock.“

“A Perfect Harmony of Warm Broth and Spicy Tang! (Odeng Soup & Golbaengi Muchim)
Craving a warm, comforting broth and a spicy dish, I recently visited Han Shin Pocha in LA. As expected, it didn't disappoint and I had a wonderfully enjoyable time!
On this visit, I ordered the 'Odeng Soup' and 'Golbaengi Muchim' – an excellent choice indeed!
First, the Odeng Soup boasted an exceptionally deep and refreshing broth. Its warmth was perfect for a chilly evening, truly warming the body. Plus, the generous variety of fish cakes offered a delightful pick-and-choose experience. Each spoonful of the broth practically begged for a shot of soju – it was such a perfect pairing that I almost overindulged!
Then there was the Golbaengi Muchim, the epitome of spicy and tangy flavors. The fresh vegetables combined with the chewy sea snails were simply artful. The seasoning wasn't overly aggressive but still managed to tantalize the taste buds with just the right amount of kick, perfectly balancing the mildness of the Odeng Soup. Mixing it with the somyeon noodles made for an even more satisfying and filling meal!
Overall, LA Han Shin Pocha is an excellent spot to enjoy delicious Korean pocha food in a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend it for a night out with friends or when you need to de-stress. I'll definitely be trying other menu items on my next visit! It was a great meal!“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“This is my favorite seolleongtang restaurant in K-town. I’ve been coming here for years, and the taste has remained always same. Hanbat Seolleongtang is known for more thick flavor, this place stands out clean taste. The sliced meat in the soup is also outstanding quality. If you’re looking for seolleongtang in K-Town, this is my top recommendation.“

“Considered yourself warned. Very tasty food but on the spicy side even when you opt for mild. If you like spicy Korean food, you will love it.“

“2024.11.17 \First visit/

For the first time in life, unlock the achievement of raw pickled crabs. Ten years ago, I watched "My Love from the Star" and I always wanted to try it, but I never knew where it was delicious. I didn’t expect that my first try would be in LA.

Although it’s my first time and I don’t have a benchmark for comparison, this raw pickled crab is really great! good! eat! Not what I'm saying. The kind of delicious food that I would be willing to return to a thousand times. Paired with Sou Beer, it is heaven.

We ordered regular and spicy, and I prefer the regular pickled crab more! From now on, you will definitely have to eat one per person to make your trip worthwhile. It has been included in the pilgrimage list that family and friends must bring when visiting LA!

I sincerely recommend raw pickled crabs 10,000 times! The crab soup is also delicious, but the pork belly can be omitted! I ordered a lot, but I carefully wore gloves to eat the crabs, and I didn’t take pictures of other dishes at all.

Recommendation: Raw pickled crab“

“This place is about 40 years old, I'm told by this serving lady qho's been here 27 years. Same owner, same server, same location.
Old wooden log table tells the age.
My mother and I had seafood kalguksoo, dak doritang, and bibimbop.
The food taste of old, unpretentious, clean, flavor with a lot of depth.
Bibimbop namul was good with perfect egg.
Banchans were simple & clean.
This place is a must revisit place. I only regret I didnt know of this place until now.“

“Tasty food, great atmosphere!“

“AMAZING.
I ordered delivery and it was perfectly packaged, still the right temperature and so delicious.
The banchan was very good I loved the fish cakes and the kimchi was perfect.
The gimbap was nicely textured and had good flavor.
The kimchi soup had a good ratio of everything and was flavourful.
Over all, so worth it!“

“콩나물국밥 얼큰돼지국밥 너무 맛있어요~“

“Wow, so delicious. I wanted some good food for lunch before studying at M3 nearby and this place is tucked into the corner of the same strip mall. The woman was very nice and recommended the Beef Galbi-Tang, which was so delicious and had a perfectly rich broth. It came with good portions of kimchi and radish kimchi, rice, and a dipping sauce for the meat in the soup. I will definitely be ordering here again on chilly days.“

“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.“

“Quality food and service. Authentic Korean food. The servers are really helpful and serious about making sure we get the best dining experience.
It's much more delicious and has better service than Myung Ga, a famous hangover soup nearby. Myeongga is not very tasty, has few side dishes, and is unfriendly. I highly recommend Mubongri.“

“Loved it here! Easy to make a reservation over the phone. Staff was very attentive, helpful, and kind. I was able to enjoy their premium AYCE meats for free because of their monthly giveaways. My review comes from honesty, not for the sake of it being free. I really liked the brisket and the marinated bulgogi. The brisket was soft, the bulgogi had a great flavor. Side dishes were nice, I especially enjoyed the cucumbers and the fish cakes. I honestly could eat a whole bowl of just the fish cakes. The kimchi was crunchy and flavorful. The spicy pork bibimbap was good, had a generous serving of pork, and is a big enough portion to share between two people. I appreciated the casual atmosphere, there was music, but it was playing softly enough that I didn't have to shout to be heard around our table. Whoever made the playlist has good music taste. There was a decent number of TVs as well playing the NBA playoffs. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and I recommend it to anyone looking to try it! :) Thank you for the great experience.“

“Great for groups so you can order a lot of dishes and share. Their kimbap is super delicious - get the smoked beef one!!
The service is friendly but maybe they need one or two more people working because for awhile it seemed like only one guy was taking orders and serving the entire place.

Portions are big - the kimchi pasta was definitely meant to be shared as was the grilled mackerel.

Their fried chicken is what dreams are made of.“

“is very good in the best restaurant it made me feel like I was at my own kitchen“

“店內服務一流，令我心情愉快。“

“전반적으로 한국의 죠스떡볶이와 바르다 김선생과 같이 퀄리티와 위생에 신경쓰시는 노력이 너무 잘 보여지네요! 김밥과 떡볶이 분식들 모두 만족하고 먹고 갑니다. 더 대박나시길 바랄게요 :)“

“Had to get my Squid Game fix before Season 3 drops, and what better way than trying the same grilled intestines that Lee Byung-hun’s character would approve of! 😆

Before we even ordered our mains, I was absolutely HOOKED on the honey-glazed pumpkin banchan (side dish). I’m not even kidding - I went through FIVE plates of this stuff and couldn’t stop myself. I’m officially declaring that KingChang has the best banchan game in LA’s Korean food scene! 🥇

The beef intestine set was absolutely incredible! The combination of caramelized onions + melted cheese was pure genius. Picture this: perfectly grilled, crispy-edged intestines dipped in gooey cheese with those sweet caramelized onions on top. Each bite was so good it felt like I had anime sparkles and dramatic background music playing (if you know, you know 😉). This is basically the Korean BBQ version of In-N-Out’s Animal Style, and I am HERE for it!

The intestines were grilled to perfection - crispy exterior with that perfect chew, no weird smell or texture that sometimes puts people off. The cheese wasn’t overpowering, just the right amount of richness to complement the meat.

Big bonus - they’re open until 2AM, making this the perfect late-night spot when you’re craving some serious Korean comfort food after a night out. Finally, a place that understands LA’s night owl culture!“

“My favorite place for traditional korean soups and stews. You can tell all the sides are home-made and can taste how rich the broths are. The portion sizes are also great for the price. Would highly recommend as one of the best Korean spots in the SGV.“
