50 Best Korean Restaurants near Lomita

“Must visit this place. I had half and half fried and marinated chicken with Tteokbokki, pasta and fried dumplings etc. I was not able to find a good korean fried chicken place for a long time and this place is the best. Also try the pasta and spicy rice cake as my teenage girls loved them. Must visit again soon to try the other menus as well such as the Army soup as that is also one of my favorite korean dishes. The owner is really nice as well!“

“At first didn't think much about the place due to the store front and name bbq chicken, figure it was just a regular chicken spot but I was in a mood for wings. While viewing the menu I was intrigued by the flavors offered. Once entering location it's was refreshing to smell and see the cleanliness and aroma of something that immediately caught my attention which had me anticipating greatness.. and thats not all, the service was to the Capital T. The gentleman at the register answer all my questions with plenty of recommendations based on my taste. I was more then pleased and I didn't even order yet. Once I ordered I couldn't wait for my honey garlic wings with a side of pickled radishes. After my order was completed I was handed a buzzer to inform me when my order was ready. Now I waited in the car not sure if there was seating in the back cause I didn't ask nor venture I just wanted to head to the car and express my opinion to my spouse.. no more than 10 -15 mins later give or take food was ready. Now let me tell you i very impressed by the smell. Plus the container was perfect fully closed with air pockets so the 🐔 could breath. Now this always makes a difference no matter how the food smell. Maintaining that crispyness I look for.. now let me get to this chicken. Boy/ Girl let me tell you, chicken sooooo good make you wanna slap your momma. Flavor 10, texture 10, plus the service 10, this a perfect game for me. Triple doubles. me and wifey was licking each other finger fighting for the last drip. Been a while since I had something this good in Cali. And I'm a new York wing head.. with this said I'll be back so I hope to see all y'all in there tomorrow, cause I'm definitely coming back, so lock me in for a lifetime membership. Was great to meet y'all at Bbq chicken in lomita“

“Such an adorable kimbap shop — cute both inside and out, and I’m so happy it popped up in the neighborhood! As someone who’s always loved kimbap, I’m seriously impressed. The shrimp kimbap is my absolute favorite — fresh and flavorful, especially with their delicious sauce. The veggie kimbap was super fresh too, and paired perfectly with the tteokbokki.
They also have a little corner with daily side dishes that feel just like something mom would make, and a fun selection of drinks in a Korean convenience store-style fridge. Definitely worth checking out when you visit!

Pro tip: the kimbap sells out quickly, but if you call ahead, they can hold some for you — that’s what I did, and I’m so glad I didn’t miss out. Highly recommend reserving in advance!“

“muy bueno, lo recomiendo al 100, comida koreana.“

“The BBQ combo was great! I recommend all menu. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic Korean barbecue or is looking to try something new and delicious.“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“I was really craving the jokbal I used to eat in Korea, and this place delivered exactly that taste! The meat was tender and chewy, perfectly seasoned—just like back home. The kind and considerate service from the staff made the experience even more enjoyable. The kongguksu (soybean noodle soup) had a rather mild flavor, not particularly rich, but it was decent and ordinary.“

“Ordered the Galbi-jjim and it was so tender and flavorful! The ribs were fall off the bone. Add cheese for extra flavor and a fire show. The side dishes were tasty. Service was good.

Will be back to try the soup and other dishes!“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“Best Korean restaurant in the LA or South Bay area if you’re looking for authentic home style Korean cooking! Menu has a good variety of dishes that are cooked so good 😋 Small place but food and service is fantastic. They have the best banchan(side dishes). Check it out when in Gardena you won’t be disappointed.“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“Me and the family came here during the week to try something new. Saw the food and menu and thought let’s do it.

Came in and got seated right away. Inside looks great with a lot of room and the staff was very friendly.

After looking over the menu, we picked more items than we thought we could handle. But all of it was amazing.

We ordered TTEOK BOKKI with ramen and cheese. Tasted great. Great texture and taste

Come with the Korean Style Spicy chicken. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and a hint of spice that gives it a great flavor.

Lastly we ordered the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. Just as the chicken, amazing. Spicer than the chicken by a tad but amazing taste

We ordered rice with it which probably why we didn’t finish half of the portions of each dish. The employees felt we didn’t like it but we took it home to eat again the following day!

Must try in the Gardena area. :) thank you!“

“We got the duck combo plus the table-side fried rice and it was quite hefty. Can probably feed a good 4-5 people. The duck is grilled with potatoes, rice cakes, mushrooms, garlic & chives and the combo of everything works well and takes away from the usually gamieness associated with duck. The bean paste dipping sauce was probably my fave. The kimchi fried rice was pretty serious as it even had japchae in it. Combo also includes kimchi pancake, steam egg, corn cheese, bean paste soup. Definitely not your typical Kbbq spot, in a good way, and I dig that they specialize in things like duck and intestines, which I'll be trying on my next visit. Bonus points too for being close by in the South Bay where I live.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“Tried the shrimp Tempura (5 pcs) very fresh and good cook too order you can tell. 🍤 Waffle Fries really good as well not oily. 🍟😋 Tried Honey Hot and Garlic Spicy both (10pc) which were both so fresh and food. 🌶️🍯🍗 Down the meal with a Strawberry Lemonade and the Chum Churum Soon Hari both Peach and Strawberry soju so good get it everytime at these restaurants 🍑🍓🍶😋“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“I was thrilled to discover this restaurant, especially after all the Korean sashimi spots in South Bay closed down. I’ve visited multiple times and sampled a variety of dishes—including my absolute favorite, the halibut sashimi. Every dish I’ve tried has been packed with quality flavor, making it hard to choose just one favorite.

They specialize in Korean traditional comfort food, and it’s a treat to explore the different offerings. The owners—a husband and wife duo—cook and serve everything themselves, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like visiting family. They genuinely enjoy chatting with customers and always make sure you’re satisfied.

The halibut sashimi stands out not only for its taste but for its freshness—they catch it live from the tank right before serving. The restaurant’s name, “Jagalchi,” is meaningful too: it’s named after the famous fish market in Busan, South Korea, and symbolizes marine life, especially fish.“

“Stopped by here from LAX craving Korean food and was very impressed. This place has authentic, delicious Korean food, and their side dishes are amazing! We ordered their bossam combos with kimchi jjigae and soybean soup, which was a great value. Highly recommend!!“

“Love to eat here . People are friendly. Hit the spot ! Thank you“

“I had an amazing experience at this family-owned Japanese restaurant! The chicken bowl I ordered was incredible. The meat was perfectly cooked, savory, and juicy. You can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere made the meal even better. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!“

“Stopped by Jang Su Jang in Torrance and the place was bustling, with only a few tables open for dine-in.

Ambiance (4/5): Lots of natural light mixed with warm-toned lighting creates a cozy and homey feel. The restaurant has plenty of space, with tables for both small groups and larger parties of up to 8. It was lively and loud inside, but in a good way—exactly the kind of noise level you’d expect at a thriving Korean spot. Beautifully decorated and welcoming.

Food (4/5): I ordered the Jangsu Bossam, which came with rice and two portion sizes of banchan. Everything was well-seasoned, with the cucumbers being the standout—crisp, fresh, and addictive. The bossam itself was flavorful and generously portioned (marketed for 2 but easily feeds 3). We also tried the bibimbap, which was satisfying and nicely done. Overall, both dishes were good, though not quite unforgettable.

Service (4/5): Since we ordered to go, I didn’t get the full dine-in experience, but ordering was quick, friendly, and efficient. I’ll update if I get the chance to try table service next time.

Overall: Solid Korean food in a cozy, busy setting. Worth returning to, though maybe not a place I’d find myself craving often.“

“Great service, atmosphere was upbeat and plenty of great food to cook up! Get there early s because place was packed when I left.“

“This is an excellent place to get restaurant quality katsu at a very reasonable price. I had the tonkatsu combo. It came with soup, cabbage salad, steamed rich, and a delicious katsu sauce. The cutlet was perfectly cooked, and the breading was light and crispy, as it should be.“

“Sweet Potato Pizza is awesome and Frisx Chicken with Korean Sauce is really delicious! Two Thumbs Up!“

“Came here last night with My Family and all I can Say the Owner or Server we had there was amazing she genuinely gave us the greatest customer service we can ask for and all the food we ate was so delicious...I Will recommend this place 100% ☺️🙏❤ #MayGodBlessthisbusiness #littlefamilyowned ☺️❤“

“A Refreshing Change from Korean BBQ

This Korean restaurant offers something different—delicious noodle soup with seafood instead of the usual BBQ.

The taste is absolutely on point—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

Highly recommended to try!“

“Overall, the dining experience was highly satisfactory. While the pricing continues to increase, a trend which reflects current industry dynamics, we hope the management will prioritize maintaining the quality of the cuisine and the established high standard of service in the long term.“

“Korean BBQ all you can eat. Pretty good, haven't been here in awhile...... used to be very cheap, now it's $25/person. Kids 5-7, $10. 8-11, $16. But most places have gone up since covid. No galbi here, just bulgogi, brisket, spicy pork, pork belly, chicken, and beef belly (thin sliced short rib). Not a whole variety but these are the main meats.“

“(Translated by Google) The catering overall was delicious and neat. Especially kimchi and fruit salad. Japchae. Tricolor is the best!!?(Original)캐더링 전체적으로 맛있고 정갈했습니다. 특히 겉절이 김치와 과일 사라다. 잡채. 삼색전 최고에요!!?“

“Lately, I’ve been very into kimbap. However, I can be pretty picky about it in terms of what’s inside. There’s sooooo many options for what kind of kimbap you want. For me, I’m really into the beef kimbap. Kimbap Paradise has the best beef kimbap, in my opinion.

The restaurant is located in Torrance, super close to my home. It’s in a busy shopping center so there’s plenty of parking. I easily just call in my order and pick it up. It’s usually ready within 10/15 mins depending on how busy they are. I never dined in, but there’s lost of seating inside to do so. If you’re not a kimbap fan, they have many other Korean dishes to choose from.“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“Haven’t reviewed in a while but these place deserves a really good one 💜the food was delicious and the staff are really friendly from someone that has been discouraged for having a family of 6 they made us feel really welcomed”
Hope to come back soon !!!“

“I travel far ... just to have my pre birthday lunch.. thank you so much for such courteous attention and most delicious food 😋“

“Amazing service. Their food is hit or miss. The tofu kimchi is amazing. I definitely didn’t like their chicken feet though. Still, the lighting is very nice. They don’t charge extra for rice, so you can order rice to have along with your dish.“

“A nice restaurant for Korean comfort food. The bibimbap was good. It feels less Americanized than most restaurants, which was a good thing. We were a bit sad that the samgye tang didn’t have ginseng in it. I think it might be in the broth when they cook it but we usually get the real ginseng our dish too when ordering this. Overall, the taste was good.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Amazing little Korean mom and pop shop in Gardena. The whole restaurant has maybe 4 tables, and when we got there for an early-ish lunch on Saturday, there were no other patrons. The auntie and uncle were very kind and brought us tea and banchan quickly, but the star of the show was the food. Delicious soup that came out quickly along with rice (choice of white or brown) and banchan. Portion sizes are huge!! Definitely get your money's worth here. The parking lot is pretty small and shared with a couple other restaurants. Heads up, the restaurant storefront signage is in Korean only. Will definitely be back to try some other soups!“

“Wonderful experience! I have been very satisfied with Hansol Noodle.
The staff are very friendly, and the food is high quality. Each and every soup has its own unique variety of flavors, smells, textures, and styles. There's so many different things to try, you won't soon get bored here! The food comes out hot and carefully made to provide you the best experience possible! There's plenty of seating, plenty of parking, and a wonderful grocery to shop at before or after you eat! I encourage you to give it a try!
10/10 would recommend, I will return!“

“First, I notice it's not flame brolier.
The portions are bigger. However, you can get your own sauce. They gave 2 small tiny teriyaki for a works bowl. Then, I was charged for extra sauce. The 2 she gives is not enough. You usually can put the sauce on yourself. Not here they give 2 per bowl.“

“We ordered 2 jalapeno kimbap and 2 beef bulgogi kimbap and they gave us 4 little spicy soups that I thought was miso at first but it's not it's a delicious bean sprout jalapeno soup. So good and spicy 😍 The owners were so nice and asked our daughter if she wanted to take a book home 💚 definitely have to go back for a date night with hubby and try their other items“

“This place is insane value. The sandwich ingredients are fresh and the chicken is very crispy. My second time going and it’s just as good as the first time.
If you like spicy the sauce is perfect numbing flavor. I already want to go back and can’t wait to try the other menu items.
Also if you like purple yam the Goguma latte is very creamy/rich and refreshing.
The owners are so nice and friendly- I’m surprised this place isn’t packed. Look forward to trying again soon.“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“Nice selection. Good quality“

“After just one week, I am eating so much food...
I loved the skin scuba trip we had together in La Paz, Mexico... We stopped by a Korean restaurant while waiting at the airport. The atmosphere and service were great...
Thank you, boss. I had a good time... haha“

“Their organic tofu bowl is delicious. Veggies cooked just right. Consistent quality, I get takeout from this location a couple times a week when I need something healthy and satisfying. Chicken and beef bowls also delicious. Great low key neighborhood lunch spot with a few tables for dining in, clean and welcoming. Closed Sundays.

Vegetarian options: Organic tofu, fresh veggies (carrot, cabbage, broccoli), brown rice. Mini bowls available.“

“Moon Bowls in Long Beach is a total gem! I ordered a custom veggie bowl during my all-fruits-and-veggies cleanse, and it was exactly what I needed—fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. I love that they offer customizable options so you can stick to your goals without compromising taste. As Ms. Long Beach, I’m always on the lookout for healthy and delicious local spots, and Moon Bowls is now at the top of my list. Highly recommend for anyone looking for clean, plant-based eats in Long Beach!

“This Authentic Korean Restaurant is a gem for anyone craving a true taste of Korea! The menu boasts an impressive variety of traditional Korean dishes, each bursting with bold, authentic flavors. Their Galbi BBQ (short ribs) is hands-down the best I've ever had—perfectly marinated, tender, and grilled to juicy perfection. The smoky, savory-sweet glaze is unforgettable!

What sets this place apart is their incredible selection of banchan (side dishes), which elevate every meal. The pa kimchi (green onion kimchi) is a standout—crisp, tangy, and perfectly spiced, it’s one of the best I’ve tasted. The fact that you can purchase their banchan to take home is a huge bonus for recreating the experience at home.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're a Korean food enthusiast or a first-timer, this restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend for the Galbi BBQ and pa kimchi alone—though everything else is just as delightful!“

“muy bueno, se los recomiendo y el personal es muy amable.“

“I don’t understand why there are so many bad reviews. I was actually worried about the undercooked meat comment because I am pregnant. Everything was perfect and i didnt have to ask for anything different. I asked for extra sauce and he just gave it too me happily. Also the restroom was available to use which was great for me. I got the half and half plate with extra extra avocado. Highly recommend !“
