50 Best Korean Restaurants near Long Beach

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

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

“Moon bowls are my go-to delivery food. Healthy, great care taken with meal prep and a perfect portion for me. Affordable and nutritious. They also have great customer service and are very engaged, patient and responsive to text messages. I don’t think they have a physical location and this is more like a ghost kitchen, which took a minute for me to understand at first. But since then I have ordered from them at least a dozen times and introduced them to other locals who also love their food. Hope they stay with us in LBC forever!“

“i love crispy food here with their boba drink also yummy and fresh.“

“Just picked up my food from the nicest, most kind, wonderful young woman that helped me. In fact she took my order over the phone and it was a very confusing order and she helped me straighten it all out. Made suggestions just helped me and I was so happy my order was wonderful when I picked it up exactly what I wanted. Thank you. I didn’t get her name but thank you very very very much. It was perfect. The food was wonderful. We got everything we needed.
I was telling her that the FB closer to me closed and I was very disappointed, but you know what it all works out because this FB is actually better. She did make a suggestion that I could use the app so I could get points and get free items. I’m gonna be honest with you. I didn’t know there was an app. Thank you so very much. Now I need a nap cause I’m full with my super delicious Flame Broiler meal. Yummalicious!!!“

“Fast service and exelent food I love it, es uno de mis favoritos .“

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

“I absolutely love this place. The pork belly is always some of the best in town. Today we also got the French fries the tteok galbi (Korean meatballs) and it was so good with the kimchi and sauce, wow. Everything on the menu is great, the alcohol is very tasty (try the fermented rice wine and the black raspberry wine, they are incredible) and the staff is so fun. This is an incredible little hidden treasure in Gardena, come try it!“

“It just has that KBBQ vibe. The servers are so friendly and super accommodating. They suggest, recommend, and chat you up. Super cozy.

As for the food, get the signature dish: gobchang (intestines). For a medium, you get to choose three of the four choices: abomasum (stomach), tripe, large intestines, and small intestines. Additionally, you get side dishes, a choice of a stew (kimchi or fermented soybean), corn cheese, steamed egg, and salad. They cook the intestines for you before bringing it out to your table, so that it says warm as you eat. They stir fry the intestines with potato slices, onions, garlic and mushrooms. They really do 곱창 right. We also ordered the beef tartare, since they had posters of it around the restaurant. The beef tartare is definitely in the top 3 of the ones I've tried around OC, NY, and SD. The cuts are thicker than normal and the seasoning is perfect. They don't include a lot of ingredients like other places do, but it just hits better.

It's within a plaza, so there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. This place has become one of my go-tos for gopchang. A++!“

“A clearly family run delicious soup restaurant that have been several times. The seollungtang rivals that of hanbat without having to go all the way to korea town and they serve other things which i always wanted from hanbat. Their bossam is great with raw nappa which i love and the haegaengguk which also has saved me post a hard night. Highly underrated korea restaurant“

“The food here was absolutely amazing! If you are planning a visit, the blood sausage and the fish pancake were the absolute highlights of the meal—both were packed with incredible flavor and cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend checking this place out. I will absolutely be coming back for more!“

“This place is small and tuck away in a shopping corner, but the services was the best, seen like a great mom and pop place. Forgot what I order but it was all delicious, when with a group of 4 and we family style the meal, best way to try all the amazing dishes.“

“Nahhh… this place actually lived up to the hype. 😭🔥 The chicken was CRAZY crispy without being dry, and every bite was juicy. Soy Garlic is hands down my favorite flavor. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the sauce is so good I could eat it every day.

The sides were solid too, everything came out fresh and hot, and the staff was super chill. The place was clean and the whole vibe was a W.

Definitely one of the best Korean fried chicken spots I’ve had. If you’re debating whether to try bb.q Chicken, just go. The Soy Garlic is a must. 10/10, I’m already thinking about my next order.“

“We came here craving a hearty, authentic meal, and it completely exceeded expectations. We ordered their signature Gamjatang and it was phenomenal. The broth is deeply flavorful, rich, and simmered to perfection with tender pork bones that practically fall off the bone.“

“I kid you not, this is some of the best food I've ever had, full stop. The mala xiang guo is a must try, it is so perfect, I've already had it twice in the past week! Also highly highly recommend the dakgangjeong, pork ribs, and guo bao rou. Truly every single thing on this menu is a hit, and the owners are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. This place is the best!!!“

“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...“

“I wish I had found this place sooner! This is easily one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve been to. The menu has a great variety of dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Everything about the experience exceeded my expectations, and I can already tell I’ll be coming back often. This has officially become my new favorite Korean restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“Stopped by because I wanted to try the rose mala Tteokbokki, IT DID NOT Disappoint!! It was sooooo good. We also go the bulgogi bowl, bomb. Also got the sweet & spicy wings, also super good.
Server was super friendly!! 10/10 coming again :D“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“This place is an absolute gem! It’s a cozy, smaller spot, but the food is incredibly authentic. The ginseng chicken soup was so comforting, flavorful, and traditional. But the absolute highlight of the night was the Tofu with Kimchi Pork, it was completely mind-blowing and delicious! If you’re looking for genuine, high-quality Korean food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

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

“My hand was for a size reference. This place is so good! I've been going often for lunch and the quality is consistent! I ordered the spicy bulgogi bento. It comes with a side salad, kimchi, pickled radish,cucumber,noodles, gyoza(1), rice and miso soup for $20. Can't beat a fresh meal (-:<“

“Dawa never disappoint me. I went to the one on Harbor a few times and to this new place recently and I like it. The food is good, and the place is clean. I just don't like the wait, it takes too long for them to make the food even though there was no customer except my party of 3 at that time.“

“The food is delicious. Once I received my bowl, I was blown away by the portions. My bowl fed two large individuals lol. The kimbap was also delicious. The musubi was fire. The price was right. Overall, I will be coming back when I’m working out here, once a week lol.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“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.“

“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.“

“the sweet older woman who works here and who i presume is the owner is SO SWEET. her food is delicious, homestyle, and HUGE portions!! definitely worth the price. her energy is so warm, kind, and fun!! she asked if i spoke spanish and then proceeded to do her best to say thank you to us when picked up our food 🥰 i did my best to say thank you in korean to her and i will be coming back for sure to get food to go!! if u still eat out at restaurants then make sure to pay her a visit inside for a personal and sweet experience!!“

“We’ve visited twice and both times we were happy with both the food and service.
It’s a casual and relaxed Korean restaurant that is open late. Service is friendly with the staff making rounds to check on you. We ordered cheese Tteokbokki, SHRIMP Tempura, SHRIMP FRIED RICE, SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP, ROSE PASTA, BIBIMGUKSU, FRIED WINGS 10Pcs, Galbi. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Tteokbokki, rose pasta, shrimp tempura, and wings.“

“It was seriously so good. My friends and I were looking for a place that was open late after playing cards, and this place hit the spot! It was 116 for five of us, and they kept refilling our sides whenever we ran out. Honestly, we've decided this might be our weekly spot to go to! A real gem“

“Delicious food, fast service, friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere…all in all definitely a great place to eat at. I’ve been there twice and have left both times fully satisfied by the food and planning to return.“

“Jang Su Jang is a rather popular Korean restaurant in Torrance, Los Angeles. The main dining room is spacious and bright. However, the washrooms are not that clean. Staff is efficient. The authentic Korean cuisine is delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the hot and flavorful Yukhae Dolsot Bibimbap (USD 26).“

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

“The Crispy Chicken wings were juicy and delicious!! I paired them with their potatoe salad which was soooo good!! They make wingstop look real sad. I can't wait to try their other flavors. I've finally found my new wing go to home!!😋“

“Just had some of the best chicken wings I’ve had in a long time. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. The waffle fries were perfectly seasoned, the onion rings were crispy and delicious, and the shredded cabbage with dressing was absolutely amazing. Everything paired together so well and made the meal even better.

The service was amazing, and the overall experience was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this spot 10 out of 10, and I’ll definitely be back!

If you want some amazing chicken wings, definitely go here.“

“A large group of us just had dinner there. The food was amazing and the staff were great. So happy with our choices. The yam fries are phenomenal! All the food was!❤️“

“We will definitely be back. Stumbled across this place and had Korean army soup for the first time. Delicious! The kimchi fried rice delicious!!! Pork belly delicious!!!! 10/10 and well the drinks 🤩🫶🏼🤩 can’t wait to try everything in the menu.“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Run by an older couple and the restaurant matched their charm. Felt super comforting and the food tasted like what you got when visiting your grandparents. I've tried soondaegook all thru the south bay and this was my favorite. 8th Street soondae in ktown is still my #1 but this is def my #2.“

“Cherrystones catered my brother's celebration of life memorial last Sunday at the Toyota Meeting Hall in Torrance. We were about 120 people. The food and presentation was excellent. We opted for the Kalua Pork and the Teriyaki chicken, both delicious. Loved the broccoli salad and Mac salad. Our guests raved about the food. Cherrystones catered my dad's memorial in 2016 and the food was excellent then. I would not hesitate to use them again if I needed a catering service. Thank you Cherrystones for doing my brother proud.“

“one of the best korean food in town
the service was amazing
surrounded by older koreans ppl
we ordered two dishes and both of us are extremely full
their sidedishes were really goood
soup using ginsheng and whole chicken, heart warming
i love their cold noodles and kimchi“

“Best place to get authentic cheonggukjang in Orange County. I've been coming for what feels like over a decade and the taste never changed. The restaurant does have a strong fermented bean paste smell but if you want authentic cheonggukjang, it has to smell like this. If a place that sells cheonggukjang does not have a smell, it you will get tasteless 'watered down' version of the soup.

Plus is the smell is not as over powering as it used to be way back when but the taste is still the same.“

“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.“

“Inside Hmart is everything !Order the bibimbab & the price was everything ! ? 6 bucks special! Really delicious!My brother ordered the beef ramen and that was also really good!10 bucks for the ramen ! Coming back for sure if I have to run to hmart ♡“

“Sooo yummy!! I always love coming here for Korean fried chicken. It just takes a while, but at least we know it’s fresh! Love the soy garlic flavor! It’s sweet, savory, garlicky, crunchy, juicy and overall just the #1 pick. Come give it a try!!“

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