50 Best Korean Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

“My boyfriend and I split the the yukgaejang or the spicy galbitang. They’re big bowls of soup and it’s pretty filling for two people if u get extra noodles and extra rice bowl. The ladies that work there are really kind and attentive. Unlimited kimchi, fish cake and radish so it’s a diverse dinner even if you only order one thing, which we do. I don’t see how one person could finish a large bowl all by themselves. With the soup and a beer the total sums up to 30 bucks which feels really cheap. I eat there when I feel sick or just want really healthy nourishing food. Super nice place!“

“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!“

“Hanu BBQ is fantastic. I've been here three times and each time the food is great. They take reservations for large groups and there's a karaoke place right next door, for an easy night out. There are cute little robots that bring you your food too.

Nina and Mark were both amazing- very attentive and even taught us how to make somaek. Would definitely recommend this place as a great option for a group outing.“

“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly 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~♡♡♡♡♡“

“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!“

“The meat quality here was absolutely outstanding, and the service was impressively fast. Every staff member we encountered was kind and professional, but I have to give special recognition to Royce, who took care of our table. He grilled the meat to absolute perfection and made our experience even more enjoyable with his thoughtful and friendly conversations.

If you plan to visit, I highly recommend asking for a table in Royce’s section—you won’t be disappointed. His explanations and recommendations were by far the best I’ve experienced in any restaurant during my time living in the U.S.

For full transparency, we have no personal connection to him. We simply walked in on Mother’s Day without any expectations and left completely satisfied thanks to the exceptional service.

All the meats, including the tripe, were incredibly fresh—definitely not frozen—and grilled to perfection. We had such a wonderful experience here and will gladly return.“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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. ☺️“

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

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

“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!! 🙏🏼💖🔥“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

“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“

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

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“This is inside a food court with 3 Chinese food places, 1 Japanese, and 1 Korean place. Theres also a dried food place, a jeweler, and Coway and a slew of other strip mall stores. There’s plenty of seating to dine in. Theres also plenty free parking. The food is very good, healthy, tasty, fresh, and made to order for spicy levels. You get a raw egg to break into the bubbly hot soup and it cooks. And they add a lot of clams to the tofu soup if you ordered the clam one. This tofu clam soup is the best I’ve had because of the number of clam pieces (even when I ate most of the soup, there were still 10 clam pieces) and the soup base. For $15 for most of the hot tofu soup bowls w side dishes it’s a great meal and deal. I could eat here everyday! I appreciate food that tastes clean and fresh and Oma’s is it. They also give free cold and hot water (barley tea).

Vegetarian options: I love the vegetarian and seafood options and the side dishes are all vegetarian.

Dietary restrictions: They will make it not spicy or less or more to taste

Parking: Free open parking“

“I eat so much Korean food that it is super rare to find an authentic Korean dining experience that feels luxurious yet homemade at the same time. HanEuem genuinely surprised me and my party with the quality of food, with a special shoutout to the seafood pajeon/pancake. One of the best in flavor and crispiness that I’ve ever had in my life! So good! Although on the pricy side, everything we got was delicious and service was great. They are known for their seafood, so looking forward to trying that out next time!

What we ordered:
🥞 Seafood Pajeon / Pancake
🥩 LA Galbi
🌶️ Yuksoo Tteokbokki (Spicy Ricecake Stew)
🦪 Cockle Bibimbap

Parking Tip: Park at California Mart and walk over!“

“An unassuming storefront but their meats and banchan were top-notch. We had the prime sirloin steak. It was substantial, super tender, and very tasty. Also tried their famous marinated pork ribs, which were perfectly seasoned, with a balanced sweetness to bring out the flavour of the meat… don’t forget to dip it in the sesame oil and sea salt!

The service was excellent. Our server was very kind, efficient and made sure we had all that we needed while she helped us grill our meats with a practiced hand. The banchan was fresh, with crunchy seasoned vegetables that held their flavour and vibrancy. My personal favourites were the pickled white onions and marinated beansprouts. Authentic and on-point.

On top of that, we came on New Year’s Eve and they were accommodating, patient and made it an occasion to remember with the best KBBQ we’ve had, ever. Quality we appreciated.

Parking is valet at $4 as of NYE 2024.

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly“

“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.“

“I love the owners and the staff!!! They make the best Kimbop I have ever tasted!!! The bibimbop and kimchi fried rice are incredible!!! I eat there once a week. I bring their kimbop as a gift for all my Korean friends who are always impressed with how beautiful it looks and the flavor!!! Thank you for the delicious food!!!“

“We had so much good food here! We ate the kimchi fried rice, the meat jeon, pork bbq. The portions are massive and the service was great. Their soju is also pretty cheap compared to other places ive been. We will definitely come back to try the outdoor patio and some more food!“

“It's been a while since I posted it and ate it. It turned out like garlic bossam and green onion bossam.
You~~~~ I enjoyed eating the radish. It was so delicious because I wrapped it with the ssam (ssam) you gave me and the perilla leaves and jalapenos I had at home.^^
It was the happiest lunch I've had in a long time. I was impressed haha. Isn't garlic bossam the only flavor you get at Mr. Bossam? I haven't seen it anywhere else yet. I recommend it.

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture haha.“

“Ordered ox knee soup for take out. The order was ready quickly and the soup was rich and delicious and plenty pieces of ox knee. Comes with rice, noodle and side dishes! The lady at the store was sweet. The soup was and healthy. Will be back!

Parking: Small parking lot“

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

“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“

“Tasty food, great atmosphere!“

“A cute little Korean place. Food is pretty decent, I’d recommend the braised cod fish, which is very tender and has a very large portion. Seafood pancakes are pretty decent too. Would not recommend the cold buckwheat noodles, which don’t taste of much other than vinegar, and the texture of the noodles was nothing special. Service was fantastic; a super friendly Korean lady who didn’t speak much English was our server.“

“I came here on Tuesday night after work for happy hour with my co-workers. I can't speak for the weekends, but it wasn't busy or crowded on Tuesday night. This was my second visit, and our server, Sang (I believe), definitely made our "Happy" enjoyable hour with great food and excellent service. I also got to watch the Dodgers game. The Asado and green onion chicken were really good. I usually avoid boneless chicken because it’s often too salty and lacks flavor, but their chicken was delicious—probably the best I’ve had in Ktown. Super crispy! Just a heads up, though—watch out for mosquitos!

I highly recommend green onion chicken here! Among the chickens I've eaten in Hanta, I give it a thumbs up! Very~~ crispy. Asado meat was cooked really well and I enjoyed it. There are mosquitoes in the evening, be careful of mosquitoes~~“

“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.“

“This place is authentic. But this is not your average Korean restaurant. This places is for the adventurous: the daredevils who enjoy organ meat.

I got the soondae mix platter for $40 (so it's far from $22.99 shown on the menu here in Google). My friend paid ? But nowadays we are all paying the price for the covid-flation. So I want to focus more on food.

The amount and quality of food is great for the price. I can't say that there aren't better deals in K-town. But I won't go wrong here ??

I won't recommend this place to vegetarians.“

“The pork bone soup was one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever tasted! I ordered spice level hot and it was not spicy but had a good flavor to it (I eat a lot of spicy chiles and foods). The pork bone had a lot of meat on it and the broth was full of flavor. Would recommend coming here and trying any of their dishes - they are all very tasty.“

“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.“

“Amazing experience. My mum and I went today and we were not disappointed. It’s a little more expensive than a regular AYCE spot but the price difference is certainly made up for by the quality of meat and the service- 10000% worth it . I shall most definitely be back. Our server Jarek was amazing and gave us some great recommendations . Thank you !“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, glad I wasn’t disappointed! I’ll definitely come back to try more of their dishes since I only got to try the kimbap. The food was good and the side dishes were really good as well. The prices were very affordable as well! We went around 4-4:30pm on Sunday 3/23, the staff member at that time was very nice!“

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

“The food was good, and I like the little hole-in-the-wall vibe. I wish the interior was a bit nicer and/or funky. I guess it just needs a bit more personality? Tasty, though!“

“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 :)“
