“A Cozy Slice of Korean Flavor in Azusa—Bulgogi Town Delivers!
I recently had the pleasure of dining (or ordering) from Bulgogi Town in Azusa and left genuinely delighted.

“The best korean BBQ i've tried ever ! The meat is perfect and not too much fat, the ambience is catchy, the service is 5⭐️! Very fast to bring the meat, change the grill plate and to refill the side dish either! How lovely this place, i hope they can open at lunch... for sure i will recommend this place and be back asap!“

“I came here on a rainy Saturday night needing something to warm my belly and I did not leave disappointed. The restaurant we wasn't too busy on Saturday but that's good for me since I hate waiting outside for anything longer than 20 mins for food. Got the neck bone OG gamja-tang and it came with plenty of meat on the bones, rice and some classic side dishes. The soup itself was tasty and just spicy enough. The meat was tender and fulfilling. Service was solid and everything was chill. Plus they had the dodgers on which is a good sign in my book. No frills or thrills here, just a good meal at a solid spot in a plaza I rarely frequent. However I'll be back to try their bossam or their cold noodle dishes when the weather warms up.“

“If you're on the lookout for an exceptional dining experience that feels like a warm embrace, this charming family-owned gem is a must-visit. The owners are not just figureheads; they're genuinely involved in the day-to-day operations, which adds a personal touch that’s increasingly rare in the restaurant scene today.

One delightful revelation I uncovered is that they prepare all the Banchans—those delightful small side dishes—right from their own kitchen. This homemade approach really shines through in every bite. I had the pleasure of trying their Bibimbap, Galbi beef, and the seafood tofu, and I can honestly say that each dish was a revelation.

The Bibimbap was a colorful medley of textures; the fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked rice harmonized beautifully with the delectable sauce. The Galbi beef was succulent and bursting with flavor, and you could tell it had been marinated with care. The seafood tofu was simply outstanding—rich, creamy, and generously packed with fresh seafood, making it a highlight of my meal.

What really struck me was the freshness of the ingredients. Everything tasted sumptuous and made with love, which is becoming a rarity in today's fast-paced dining environment. It’s clear that this restaurant values quality and authenticity, making it a standout option for anyone craving delicious Korean cuisine.

Without a doubt, this will be my go-to tofu house from now on. If you're in the mood for a home-cooked meal that feels both comforting and elevated, don't miss out on this fantastic culinary experience!“

“Our Boss buys lunch for our monthly goal met. And this month he had the opportunity to try Soonheene. Highly recommend their Rice water is tasty and perfect sweetness. Like a verson of Horchata without the dairy. Thier chicken was super crispy as it should be n very flavored. Will definitely come with Family“

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

“I ordered from for the first time today and I must say that it was the greatest decision I made today! I ordered their Katsu sandwich and fries and it was delicious!

The bread was soft, the Katsu was crispy and full of flavor and most of all the coleslaw on the middle was sweet and tasty! The fries were the perfect side to it, they were cooked just right and they complimented the sandwich so well.

They also have a variety of drinks that can cater to everyone's tastes. Even though it ordered a coke today next time I will try the tea.

Hungry Bulldog House you have got yourself another customer that will be returning hungry for more on a different day!“

“This small family owned restaurant is take out only. We usually order crispy, korean bbq and soy garlic with the pickled radish. It’s a bit pricey but it tastes delicious and flavorful. They now serving lunch special for $10.95, if you want soda just add $1.“

“Moved from Pomona to Vegas and I miss this place... I'm having a hard time finding another place that rivals it. Everything I've ever ordered is amazing. Their soy garlic wings, full fried chicken, bossam, fire chicken, Korean army stew, the sojuritas... Will be coming back whenever I visit home.“

“This is a soondubu (spicy silky soft tofu soup) restaurant like BCD chain. You can order combo menu with a meat or fish entree with a version of soondubu soup. You can select the spicy level and toppings for the soup. I thought the soup is really good but the meat dishes except for the LA rib were too sweet. Ban Chan (side dishes) were just average. For Diamond Bar I think this outlet is fine. There is plenty of parking in the shopping mall lot.

Parking: Plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor with wheelchair ramp.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“I came here since I saw on their menu that they sell cheonggukjang ($15.99) and not alot of restaurants sell it since it has a strong fermented smell and taste, similar to natto according to the lady. I saw a video of a Korean vlogger eating it in a restaurant and I was curious. I had asked the lady for one and she strongly recommended me to get something more basic since I'm not Korean and the smell can be off-putting. I never grew up with this stew but I was willing to try. It got to the point another lady came out of the kitchen to see me eat the stew.

The wait time was not long, the lady gave me several banchans like kimchi, bean sprouts kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fishcakes, stir-fried potatoes, braised tofu, and purple rice. The stew came out piping hot, it was filled with chopped tofu, onions, and zucchini; super thick and chunky. It did have a strong smell and taste but it didn't bother me as I expected.

Place gives off old-school vibes, lots of older Korean people dining inside. The lady was nice, she was trying very hard to explain the stew to me. The parking lot can get packed, I went during the weekday so it was easier to find parking.“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“This side dish shop is the best I've ever been to. It tastes more Korean than Korea, and the quality of the kimbap in particular is sky-high. Keto kimbap without rice is new and healthy. This place has become a place I must visit every time I pass by.“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“ATOYUBU Diamond Bar is my new favorite spot! The yubu pockets are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made every bite tastes amazing. The spicy tuna and bulgogi were standouts, and the presentation is top-notch. Staff are friendly, the space is clean and modern, and everything feels high quality. Perfect for a quick meal or takeout. Highly recommend!“

“Love it yummy food 🥘 good place to relax too 🍰💕“

“Just my daughter-in-law and me, spent our quality time well and satisfied. They were so delicious, except the pickles. We both planned to be back again.“

“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.“

“My family and I are loyal regulars at Young Dong Tofu House—it’s hands down our favorite among all the tofu houses we’ve tried!

The restaurant is always clean, and comfortable, and the service is consistently excellent. The staff are attentive and often check in to see if we’d like more side dishes, which we truly appreciate.

Among the side dishes— the kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake are my top favorites—fresh, flavorful, and always satisfying. The tofu soup paired with brown rice is simply perfect. And the best part? The rice that gets crispy at the bottom of the hot stone pot can be softened with roasted barley tea to make a comforting scorched rice soup—it’s such a delightful way to end the meal.

Every visit leaves us full and happy. It’s not just a meal—it feels like comfort in a bowl. Can’t wait for our next visit!“

“Hanshin Pocha opening in Rowland means I no longer have to drive all the way to K-Town when I’m craving Korean bar food. I’ve been to the original location many times, so I’m really glad they expanded.

For me, the must-orders are the spicy squid and the cheese hot plates. The rice was fun to mix and tasted decent, nothing mind-blowing but still satisfying.

The fried chicken was just okay — a little on the dry side IMO— but still makes for a solid bite, especially when you’re drinking. I also really appreciate that their beer mugs come pre-chilled. It's the little things.

Overall, a fun and casual late-night spot that brings the K-Town vibe to the SGV. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!“

“Second time eating here when I stop by the super H Mart. Food always comes out fresh and tasty. Only positive things to say about this establishment. Steam buns and dumplings are my go to choice. Definitely be back again to try other dishes.“

“Almost identical to Young Dong Tofu. A lot more variety with side dishes. Pork cutlet was huge for $20. Everything was tasty and service was excellent. Not sure if tofu soups normally come with egg. Ours didn’t. Definitely go here if you want to avoid waiting at Young Dong Tofu. They also have jajangmyeon 14.99 (didn’t try not on menu but posted inside on the walls)“

“Best duck in the Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills area. We always order duck served 3 ways - soup, sliced peking duck with thin wrap and green onions, and deep fried duck bones. While you’re there get some of the crispy pork belly too .“

“We had Gamjatang and the seafood pancake, and the pancake was so good with a lot of actual seafood, and the gamjatang soup was just amazing! The flavor of the soup didn't feel artificial or sharp, and instead had a very deep but smooth flavor that I appreciated a ton. Me and my wife easily finished the meat in the gamjatang, and brought the soup back home to make fried rice and that also tasted amazing! Will be back again for more“

“✨Who knew that seaweed rice balls would be the star of the meal?✨ You can expect every table to order that @yupddukdiamondbar amongst the many incredibly comforting dishes here🫶🏼

First time trying Korean comfort food or don’t know what to get? Order this lineup and thank me later:

🥚Omelette Rice
🐷Pork Cutlet
🍗Chicken feet
🍙Seaweed Rice ball
🍲Beef bulgogi stew“

“I recently dined at Sun Nong Dan on a Sunday for lunch. Although it was quite busy, there was no wait time at 1:30! The koh galbi jjim with cheese was absolutely delicious - savory and flavorful. We had a large group and were worried about the serving size not being enough, but ended up having way more than enough food, which is definitely a good problem to have. Our server, YH, was super attentive and helped us navigate the menu, making the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend Sun Nong Dan for great food and service!“

“Great addition to the food court! I'd been to other two hands and was worried it wouldn't be as good here since it's a food court location but it was very good. Service was unenthusiastic at best but the food was great, their potato dog is very enjoyable and the sauce is one of my favorite condiments. Will definitely be coming back 💪.“

“It’s a really cute and homey atmosphere. Imma take my friends here someday. They got a few good ramens and they got vegan options as well. They got good dessert options too. Some steamed custard buns that look like little piggies. Come give it a try and give them some business.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and every bite was packed with flavor. The ambience was warm and welcoming.

The staff were super attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed.

This restaurant is a must-visit if you crave Korean food!“

“Love this place.

Service isn't great. Almost nonexistent if you sit in one of the two outside tables.

The atmosphere is very casual. No money spent here.

But the food? Fantastic. So worth it.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“This is my favorite Korean restaurant!“

“I really love eating at this store because when you dine in, you can have as much sauce as you want. And I love their sauces. I saw someone review for being stingy with their sauce. I didn't understand it. But I was thinking may be it was for "to go". I never order had "to go" here so I don't know. But for dine in, I come here all the time and it is great.“

“Yuk Dae Jang never disappoints. This was probably my 7th or 8th visit and the food and service continue to be excellent.

Tonight my fiancée and I ordered a small bossam and the yuk dae jang ramyun. Both dishes were flavorful, well balanced, and paired really nicely together. We also enjoyed the free refill side dishes. I went for the fish cakes while she loved the kimchi. A bowl of purple rice rounded things out perfectly, especially with the leftover ramyun broth.

Big plus, they finally serve alcohol now. The ambiance was comfortable and even though it got busier toward the end of our meal, it never felt overwhelmingly loud. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish.

Highly recommend this spot if you are craving solid Korean comfort food in Rowland Heights.“

“Nice clean restaurant offering a great menu.

Service was so attentive. I was being helped even before I knew I needed help. It’s like they could anticipate my desires!

This restaurant has a great alternative to Korean bbq as this is made with an amazing broth! Seng Bulgogi combines the grilling flavor with a comforting soup element and I am here for it!

They use a mountain of fresh,raw beef slices cooked right in front of you in a broth with onions, mushrooms and veggies!

While this dish is the one to come for they also have a menu full of favorites including seasoned wagyu beef tartare, crispy seafood pancakes, seafood casserole, hot stone bibimbap and cold noodles. They even offer lunch specials Mon - Sunday.“

“The chicken wings are amazing! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, definitely one of the best chicken wings I've ever had! The sauce is also superb, slightly spicy with a little sweetness, very layered.

🍕 Pizza is not inferior! The crust is crispy, the cheese is full, and every bite has rich ingredients and rich flavor. Whether it's the classic flavor or the store's special flavor, it's worth a try!

The overall dining experience is very satisfactory, and the service is also very enthusiastic. I will definitely come again next time!“

“A legit Hawaiian food spot, I haven't had a good garlic shrimp plate in CA until now (it reminds me of Giovanni's shrimps). Also, I tried their crunchy Gojujang fried chicken and beef ribs and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend these dishes as a first timer here and wash it down with Dole pineapple slushy.“

“I recently visited Imangu Gyodong Jjamppong and tried their Cold Jjamppong and Kkanpung Shrimp. Both dishes were absolutely delicious.

The Cold Jjamppong was super refreshing with just the right amount of spice—it had a cool, clean flavor that still packed a punch. The broth was nice and chilled, which made it really enjoyable, though I personally think it could’ve used just a touch more vinegar to really brighten it up.

The Kkanpung Shrimp was another highlight. The shrimp were perfectly cooked—plump, juicy, and had that satisfying “snap” when you bite into them. The sauce was sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy, which made it really addictive.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something flavorful and satisfying!“

“분위기짱 안주맛도 일품 ...“

“This is our go to place for Korean food. Love the Kpop vibe, service are friendly, their food is amazing, specially love their crispy Seafood pancake, kimchi pork belly, rose spicy pasta, fried chicken.... basically everything is delicious!!! Highly recommend“

“Small place, great service !!! Super great authentic Korean dishes!!! Come & try it’s 24hrs dinning !!!“

“Mixed bag. The fried pork (탕수육) was really good and came in a generous portion. But the jjajangmyeon (짜장면)—despite being pricier than other places—was no better, maybe even worse.

I would recommend this place for family event or meeting after golf or something“
