9 Best Korean Restaurants in La Palma

“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.“

“Highly recommended. The galbi short rib, kimchi pancake, soon tofu (especially the mushroom broth), and the banchan were all delicious. There was even a bonus ice cream, how delightful! The ambiance feels elegant and distinctly European with a chill vibe. Service was great. Will be returning!“

“The food was amazing the broth had a really spicy flavor the noodles were perfectly cooked and all the sides tasted perfect everything felt authentic and homemade. The older lady there was incredibly sweet and welcoming she honestly reminded me of my mom with how kind and caring she was. That warm hospitality made the whole experience even better. My only wish is that there was a little more beef in the bowl, but overall everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I was going back to the yard to part my semi and I thought I’d get something quick to snack on at the corner store but it wasn’t open. The next thing open beside it was LUCKILY Tokyo Grill! I was hungry and I was going to wait til I got home but I decided to get the chicken bowl because I saw it was 9 bucks. I didn’t expect much as I took it to my truck and man was I blown away. The flavor of the chicken was so delicious and the amount of ingredients they put into the bowl is unbelievable. It had green beans pineapple carrot slices cabbage and some other vegetables. I was amazed for how much food they gave me for the plate only being 9 bucks and they put a lot of chicken in there which was a big plus. I didn’t have to dig around for any chicken.That’s why I’m writing this review, hopefully it helps anyone thinking coming to eat here. Oh and I also had really dirty hands and the lady at the cash register which I believe was part owner, gave me some wipes and was really nice. I’m pretty sure their other dishes are great too. I didn’t take a picture of my food because I was really hungry but it’s worth each penny I wasted.“

“If you want the kind of Korean comfort food that wraps you in a big cozy blanket and whispers, “You’re home now,” Jang Mo Jip is the place.

Nothing flashy, no Instagram gimmicks — just steaming bowls of hearty soup, beautifully chewy dumplings (I LOVE their dumplings, they’re my ride-or-die here), piles of fresh kimchi, and honest, satisfying flavors.

The atmosphere is no-frills but exactly what you want when you’re craving soul-warming sul lung tang or a healing haejang guk.

The banchan? Solid, classic, and plentiful. You leave full, happy, and with the kind of quiet joy only a truly good meal can give.

Not trying to impress, just trying to feed you well — and that’s what keeps me coming back.

Comfort food at its finest.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“I live in LA and whenever I come down to visit friends, I keep coming back here to see their sign saying Temporarily Closed ? They had a small fire happen not too long ago unfortunately, so they will be reopening up again in the future once they fix everything. This spot here has been around for years. I love their tuna kimbab (I usually order 2) which comes with soup! Can't wait until I get my Korean kimbab fix from this place soon.“

“everything is fresh. tasty chicken and vegetables over brown rice.“

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