Restaurants in La Palma

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!”

“Delicious food, fantastic staff. Love the specials and the killer desserts!”

“Mhat Korean Restaurant may be a small spot, but it delivers authentic Korean flavors and a really satisfying meal.

We ordered the Dak Galbi (Stir-fried Spicy Chicken) with a side of mozzarella cheese, along with an order of fried dumplings. The dak galbi was packed with flavor, and we appreciated being able to adjust the spice level to something a little milder. Adding the mozzarella was definitely the right call, it melted into the spicy chicken, making the dish even richer and creamier while balancing the heat beautifully. The fried dumplings were crispy, flavorful, and made a great side.

The best part of the meal was saving room for the fried rice at the end. They cooked it right in the leftover dak galbi sauce, soaking up all of the rich, spicy flavors. It’s definitely the way to finish the meal and something I highly recommend ordering.

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but the food is authentic, the portions are satisfying, and everything came together for a great dining experience. If you’re craving dak galbi, this place is well worth checking out.”

“I really love Panda Inn in La Palma, California for dinner forever!! ☺️☺️🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💞💞💞💞💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💗💗💗💗💗💗💗🥡🥢”

“amazing food and customer service 👍”

“The ladies are very nice and the food excelent I personally will recommend the beff tendon soup and the soup that has a little ckicken with ginseng the best soups. My apologies but I forgot to take photos.”

“This is a truly authentic Korean restaurant. I knew this is not a typical K-restaurant in the area after I tasted banchan on my first visit. Went again a week later for pork ribs and jungol, and surprised more. Glad I found my new fav.”

“Pleasant surprise delicious Thai fried rice. Spice to your level. Clean no odd smells and the service was awesome. Bang for the Buck 10 out of 10. Definitely going back.”

“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.”

“Love coming here in the morning..also..the Lady in the morning, (the mother, wife, of the owners,) she has the best hospitality ever :)”

“Great food, service, drinks and ambiance.”

“Wife and I enjoyed our first Korean style shave ice, or Bing Soo. We ordered small size, one each of black sesame and mango cream flavors. Both were delucious, but at $13 each, it is a pricey dessert. It might be better to share, if you can agree on one flavor. Bing Soo house is actually located within the Korean supermarket of the strip mall. There are several restaurants in the strip mall, not shown on Google maps, including shops serving: Korean bbq, K broth, K noodles, & Pho.”

“Great lunch specials! My son loved the food. The owner is so nice and checked on us to make sure we liked it. It’s very filling and the sauces are great.”

“Yummy sushi! It is pricey though. You get what you pay for!”

“I love this place! One of the servers is great, she always fills my plate. However, today at about 12:30pm I went to pick up lunch and the server, short lady, not the one who is normally there. Was literally talking on the phone the whole time I’m ordering my food. What bothered me is that I asked for sauce on the side but being she’s on the phone she apparently didn’t hear me and poured the sauce on the food. I lacked to check and once I get back to my destination my sweet and sour chicken is all soggy. Get off your phone be professional so you can pay attention to what is being asked from the customer.”

“I’ve been making my way through all four locations, and I love that each one has its own vibe while keeping the same quality and menu across the board. This one is the larger one I’ve been to so far. During lunch hour on a week day… boy does it get busy!

The drinks are consistently good, especially if you’re into matcha, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. You can tell there’s intention behind the menu. My friend got the espresso tonic both times and loved it.

What stood out to me is that many of the baristas rotate between locations and are students from local colleges, which gives the whole place a really genuine, community feel.

It’s one of those spots that’s easy to come back to, whether you’re meeting a friend, getting work done, or just stopping by for a quick drink.”

“Great food and wonderful service. The couple who owns this place is very sweet and always friendly. My favorite is their spicy pork bowl. It includes cabbage and pineapple, super delicious!”

“Found this hidden gem in La Palma. The food was amazing, so fresh and great flavor. The service was fast and attentive. Very reasonably priced, hope this place gets the attention it deserves.”

“Great food and great service. This my go to spot for catering sushi. The owner usually just needs an hour notice to get your order going. I’ve gotten this catered on thanksgiving and today for Christmas. The food is fresh and presented with care.

It is open on holidays just call in advance to be sure. Thank you Sakai!

You get a discount for cash”

“Ribs are fatty, succulent and well seasoned. Cucumbers are refreshing and crunchy with a little spice! Wish they would give rice included in the ribs and not separate. Would recommend!!!”

“This was such a great experience at Boba Time La Palma! I ordered the X-Large Brown Sugar Milk with Boba and egg pudding—absolutely delicious. Perfectly sweet, creamy, with soft chewy boba and smooth egg pudding that made it even better. Definitely a 5-star drink, I’ll be coming back for more!”

“Very nicely conditioned temperature inside especially on a warm day and the employees were nice and productive was delicious. It’s next to an Auntie Anne’s pretzels which seems to be a duo together.”

“My favorite is the spicy veggie noodle salad. It's perfectly delicious. Everyone is so nice and accommodating at this restaurant.

Vegetarian options: They will do their best to accommodate for vegetarian patrons.”

“DO NOT GET THE SANYEACHO (MOUNTAIN TEA) IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS.

other than that everything is great here, love the interior and food. recommend the taiyaiki and the red bean and fruit bingsoo”

“Service was great. Try the beef brisket, marinated beef belly, and beef bulgogi.”

“Great dive bar! Apparently, the only bar in La Palma, it meets all dive bar qualifications yet is surprisingly very clean. Karen was awesome, very engaging and attentive. Can’t wait to be back in the area and stop again!”

“I live this location. The management and crew are great. There are only two very small issues. One is an employee that does the GenZ stair and appears to be detached from reality, and second it needs to be properly cleaned more often. By this i mean to wipe down the tables, walls, all surfaces. Are these issues a problem? Not really. The quality and fantastic crew easily make up for such little concerns. Even when it's super busy they are on it and make no mistakes. Its really something.”

“Clean place good food , great customer service from the young lady’s , but horrible customer service from a older lady name Elvia , I ask for a straw a she gave it to me with a rude face ask for ketchup n she look bother I’m spending 50 dollars here ! Rude lady mean face!”
