50 Best Korean Restaurants near La Habra

“Everything was just SO good. The food came out so fast too. The portions are HUGE so be sure to order less than the headcount. They are famous for the pork ribs sour kimchi stew so be sure to try it. The summer fish are came with 3 crickets and it was cooked to perfection and not too salty. This place is must try.
The servers used to be rude, but I didn’t notice it anymore“

“Delicious kbbq at a reasonable price! Staff is very nice and attentive always offering to switch grills and helping to cook meats

La marinated Galbi (the best l've ordered)
Marinated rib finger
Kimchi fried rice
Marinated pork belly
Pork jowl
Soy marinated rib
Ok (not to right home about)
The rib steak (meat was pretty chewy but the portion is very big
Also enjoyed the self serve bar which has some hot items like fried rice,, calamari, dumplings, etc There are also some cheaper cuts of meat like pork belly/jowl/chicken plain and marinated too if you can't wait for the servers to bring you the meats
Overall I would be back and I'm very satisfied on my meal here“

“Outstanding chicken recipes and boba milk tea is to die for !“

“We got the beef curry and an avocado salad. It was pretty yummy, and I liked the vinagrette for the salad. It was simple and clean and the avocados were fresh and creamy. I like that they had silverware instead of plastic utensils, and everything feels homey and thoughtful. There's silver cups for water, and a lid for the trash. The trash is the sort that does not originally come with a lid, they made one out of wood so flies don't fly in and bother everyone.“

“Loved the crispy chicken wings, cheese corn and the two different pizzas that we ordered.“

“The chicken teriyaki was absolutely delicious. I would recommend asking for extra teriyaki sauce just in case you want to add more flavor to the dish. The food, service, and atmosphere are all 5-stars! I would highly recommend this Japanese restaurant!“

“I can’t believe I just found out about this place! The fact that you can make your own teokbbokki is crazy & all the toppings/sauces/everything is so good!!
I also LOVE their fried soondae & their mini bungeopang is so cute/good!
Cannot recommend it enough!
Service is also excellent 😊“

“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+++++“

“We had a great experience at Yangmani KBBQ! The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of high-quality meats and plenty of options to choose from.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and our server, Alex, was especially attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Alex’s great service really made the experience even more enjoyable.

We highly recommend Yangmani KBBQ to anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ, great selection, and outstanding service. One of my favourite spots for KBBQ.“

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

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

“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!“

“I love the Korean build-your-own bowl concept, similar to Chipotle's style! The variety of ingredients and flavors offered is impressive, and the quality of the food is top notch. I was bummed they change their meats but it taste even more delicious. Their pork belly is really good. The portion was generous, and the price is reasonable. It's a great option for a quick, delicious, and healthy meal. Can't wait to go back and try new combinations. The service is the best!“

“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.“

“What a wonderful surprise! This small, quaint spot is serving up some seriously delicious food. I came specifically for the Baja-style fish tacos, and they did not disappoint. The fish was perfectly crispy, lightly battered, and served in generously sized tacos topped with fresh cabbage and flavorful toppings that brought everything together.
I also tried the burger, which was packed with flavor and cooked just right. The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming, making the entire experience even better.
From what I understand, this is a family-owned restaurant, and that personal touch really shows. Be sure to check their website for menu updates, as they have some exciting new items coming soon. I'll definitely be back to see what's next!“

“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.“

“A fantastic spot with a great atmosphere—perfect for all kinds of gatherings. There is a huge selection of drinks and a wide variety of food options. The service is excellent, even when it’s bustling. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“

“I tried 3, the spicy eel, butter garlic crab and spicy tuna. The crab was a little disappointing, I dont know why I was expecting real crab but I obvious went in not doing a lot of research. Imitation crab, not favorite, didnt think it was worth the $. The spicy tuna was the best one! Its actually spicy, I would come back for it. This is also the first time I've been here since theres never any parking. Small lot, its probably my least favorite thing about the place. Other than that, not bad!“

“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…“

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.“

“I wasn't sure what to expect driving out to Acton, but saw this spot had good reviews and I'm glad I stopped. Got the crispy fried chicken and a bowl of japchae to split with a friend, both came out hot and fresh. The chicken was just salty enough on its own without needing the sauce, definitely the highlight for me. Only thing is the parking arrangement is a little awkward, it shares a lot with a laundromat so it can feel crowded. We sat at one of the outdoor tables because it was nice weather, felt very low key and casual. I'd probably just order takeout next time instead of dealing with the seating, but the food is solid.“

“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 food and prices, service was awesome“

“My family and I love your food. There are only two things I don’t like. The first is that the rice is very sticky, to the point that it’s difficult to separate when eating. The second is that they put too much cabbage, which honestly doesn’t have much flavor. My recommendation is to replace it with something else.
Other than that, the food is very tasty. This is just a suggestion, made with all due respect.“

“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.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“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!“

“The quality of food and service at this place is amazing! Definitely a hidden gem but I’m glad I found it and have been back multiple times! Mrs. Sunhwa, always greets me with a smile and prepares everything so well! Can’t wait for the next time I’m in the area for another awesome bowl! 😋“

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

“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 #1 Korean Food restaruant in LA hands down, it is the only restaurant I have seen that gives MORE food than the photos.

Pork Belly wrap is so authentic in taste I thought I was in Korea, and you can tell every item is super delicious. Plus it was big enough for 2- 3 people👏

I plan to try every single item this place offers.“

“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.“

“I stumbled upon this gem and soooo happy to have found. The service is beautiful and the food is to die for. I was offered a delicious pumpkin drink that blew my mind. Grabbed a couple of items, including kimchi to reduce my cooking this week. On my list of gems now 🫶🏽🔥“

“My kids and I had dinner at Kyung Bok Kung Korean BBQ in Buena Park tonight. Needless to say, the quality of the meat and the food were outstanding.

What truly made our evening special, however, was the exceptional service we received from our server, Ben. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our meal.

I wanted to leave this review to thank Ben once again for helping make our family dinner such an enjoyable and memorable experience. We truly appreciate his excellent service and look forward to coming back!“

“Excellent and authentic food. Very friendly and informative service. Casual atmosphere. The restaurant was empty at lunchtime on a Saturday, but service was quick and attentive. Meat came out sizzling on cast iron platters. Banchan were very tasty. Refreshing cold chewy buckwheat noodles.“

“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!“

“My boyfriend and I came here today because we kept seeing TikTok creators recommend this place, and we wanted to try it for ourselves before believing the hype. We are so glad we did!

The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. We were both genuinely surprised and impressed by how tasty everything was.

The service was also outstanding. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made our experience even better.

If you’re thinking about trying this place, definitely give it a chance. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

❤ Thank you for the amazing food and great service!“

“The lunch special caught my eye as I was walking by. Walked in was greeted so warmly. Kiki attended me and she was great and provided the best hospitality. It’s family owned, so I’m glad I was able to help support their business!!!“

“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.“

“Tang was exactly what we were craving after a night out. The portions were generous, and the side dishes complemented the meal well. Since the soups already include rice noodles, I skipped out on the extra rice.

We ordered the soondae guk and the galbi tang. The galbi was rich and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the soondae (blood sausage). The texture was different, filled with a mixture of pork blood and noodles.

Overall, it was a great dining experience and a perfect choice for a morning comfort meal. Definitely a spot worth returning to.“

“I recently visited Ma’s Banchan and was honestly impressed. The banchan tasted just like homemade food—fresh, balanced, and not overly salty. You can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. The portions were generous for the price, and the staff was very friendly. It reminded me of the side dishes my mom makes at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I come here almost every Friday for my lunch and the manager Miguel & Betty the cook are very nice, welcoming and kind. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Great portions, quick service, and clean. Highly recommend. 👍“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!“

“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!“

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

“Legit Chuncheon-style Dakgalbi.

When I go to Korea, I love eating dakgalbi. Specifically, Chuncheon-style, where the meat is cooked in a spicy sauce with vegetables and other items that you can often choose (e.g. rice cakes, ramen, udon noodles, cheese, etc). I've tried to find the best dakgalbi in Seoul, and I feel like I've only scratched the surface.

In the US, I've only had dakgalbi a few times, and before Mhat, I'd been consistently underwhelmed. But Mhat has changed what I think dakgalbi can be in the US. Mhat serves up a version that is excellent, much like the better spots that I've found in Seoul. I didn't get a cheese version, but then again, I'm not really into the Korean trend of putting cheese on everything, so things like dakgalbi and galbi jjim usually go without cheese.

In short, my favorite dakgalbi in the US so far.“

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

“Voted North OC’s favorite neighborhood Korean spot for decades, we are at Soy Tofu in La Palma. Yes, that one Korean restaurant next to Han Nam Chain aka Super1 in La Palma, CA. It feels like a secret because it’s as cozy and comforting as grandma’s house. This is a spot where everyone goes to for Sundubu (Korean Spicy Tofu Soup served boiling hot), or if they want Naengmyeon (Korean Buckwheat Noodles in a icy tangy broth) on hot summer day, or Bibimbap (Stone-pot Korean mixed rice filled with vegetables and meat with a spicy gochujang sauce and sesame oil)—just something comforting, and what they’re used to. This place has been there forever, and it’s under the same owner who wants to spoil us with her Korean recipes. Beyond the great service, delicious made in house banchan aka Korean sides , fresh ingredients and all the menu favorites, you can scoop your own free ice cream in a cone! I recommend Soy Tofu as a solid spot for anyone who is new or super critical about Korean food. It’s a guaranteed delicious spot.“
