50 Best Korean Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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~♡♡♡♡♡“

“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.“

“One of those rare spots. The broth is rich, clean, and deeply comforting with being heavy, and the flavors taste honest and balanced. Service is good, and the atmosphere is simple but welcoming, making it perfect for both a casual solo meal or sharing with friends. It's the kind of place you keep coming back because the food is consistent and hits the spot.“

“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!“

“Good food and fast service.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“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.“

“The lunch special is so delicious and affordable. My friends took me here after walking around in the 90 degree heat. We needed something hefty so we ordered the chicken bbq, kimchi fried rice, and the beef tofu stew. There is no tipping here but we just pick up the food when its ready and bring it back when we're done. Its only 9.95 which is insane in this economy. The tofu stew was delicious and piping hot. The chicken was much needed protein.“

“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.“

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

“店內服務一流，令我心情愉快。“

“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.“

“Great experience! Food was delicious - ordered soy marinated crab, spicy crab, cockle bibimbap, and the pork belly kimchi pancake.
There was only 1 server today and he was doing the most bussing and serving all the tables with a positive attitude. I’ve never seen someone work so hard without rest, maintain composure, and treat customers with so much respect.
He deserves a raise!!!“

“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!“

“Being around this area you expect late night food after walking all day at Universal and avoiding bad food at the Hilton . WHAT A GEM 💎 THIS PLACE IS !!!!!! ( sᴏʀʀʏ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ sᴄʀᴇᴀᴍɪɴɢ) like an oasis in the middle of the desert accompanied with friendly service and meals out straight from heaven. Forgot to mention …. Don’t skip the cocktails“

“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.“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“The best marinated crab I’ve had in the States - both spicy and soy sauce. They ship the crabs from Korea! The staff are so kind, personable, and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and to bring my family and friends. 너무 맛있게 먹었어요~“

“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.“

“Cindy is honestly one of the best bartenders I’ve ever met. She’s super chill but also on top of everything. She remembers faces, makes you feel welcome, and somehow knows exactly when to crack a joke or just let you breathe. The drinks are always solid but it’s really her energy that makes you want to stick around. If she’s behind the bar, you just know you’re about to have a good night. 😌“

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

“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.“
