50 Best Korean Restaurants near Long Beach

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

“I was visiting the area and decided to check out the LBX Hangar. I was in the mood for something different and saw Marinate. I was told the bulgogi burrito is popular, so I tried it. And it was the best burrito I have ever had ... ever. The meat was so tender and flavorful. I love that it had vegetables so I could pretend it was healthy. I don't live in the area but every time I am in Long Beach, I plan to stop by.“

“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!“

“Love this Asian drinks and hotdog. yummy.“

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

“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!!!“

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

“New restaurant with amazing ambiance and creativity in the Korean-Italian fusion. We had a Galbi meatball plate, Clam oil pasta, claypot carbonara pasta, and super-addicting plate of fries with galbi mayo and furikake To us it’s better than Korean food by itself or Italian food by itself. Selfishly hesitant to write a review to draw more people, but they deserve it - it’ll attract long lines over time anyway.“

“I am so surprised this place is not more popular. Almost happy this is the case, because there hasn’t been a line every time we have come in, but the food is THE best Korean food. Their Bossam is on point! Highly highly recommend . Super fresh and delicious and all their side dishes and sauces are made in house and absolutely delicious!“

“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.“

“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 ???“

“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.“

“We came here because we were craving gopchang and makchang, and everything was so good! The side dishes were fresh and nicely prepared, and the gopchang, makchang, and daechang were all absolutely delicious. Definitely coming back. 100% recommend!“

“Used the app to order and it was ready by the time I drove over to pick it up. Parking was an issue and I had to park on the street and walk over to the restaurant.

Glad to receive points as the closer location doesn’t provide points which is odd because you can order on the app from that location and the app even says “you’ll receive points for this order” and you don’t.“

“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“

“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 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 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!!!“

“We ordered a set each and the seafood pancake to share. The seafood pancake is always a standout dish, very delicious and crispy, it's fried but not oily at all and packed with seafood! Definitely a good dish to share. I ordered the soybean paste stew with the boiled pork combo and the pork was so tender and soup was very flavorful!

The side dishes are also so good, the kimchi is always the perfect amount of fermented and sides are the perfect amount of seasoned.

We always come to this restaurant when we are in town, been coming for a couple years now and will happily continue to patronize this establishment. You should try it if you are looking for an authentic, homey, korea food restaurant and there is usually no wait, the aunties serving you are very kind and offer fast service!“

“My wife and I aren't Korean but we've tried quite a few restaurants in our years living in socal. Overall a very solid place. I got #5 the beef rice soup and it was pleasantly rich with a touch of spice. Sides were excellent and fresh. If we lived in LA and not SD, I'd probably make this a regular place for a cheap good soup noodle“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Solid, reliable Korean eatery specializing in stews. This is nearly a trusty stop for lunch after an evening of drinks and staying out later than usual. I’m a fan of the spicy beef broth w noodles (pasta) - it looks volcanic spicy but it’s more on the savory side.

Have been coming here for some time now and the food is consistent and the service always quick/efficient. Recommend giving it a try if you’re in the mood for a stew/soup. The dumplings are solid as an app.“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“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.“

“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 🥪🥪.....“

“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 (-:<“

“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.“

“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.“

“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’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.“

“Great intestines and love the ban chan that came with the meal! We also got beef brisket as a staple kbbq item.

I personally prefer the daechong but it's nice to get the variety. The intestines also came with mushrooms, garlic, green onion, white onion, rice cakes, potato and probably more that I missed identifying.

The stew was great and the kimchi pancake was nice as well. The glass noodles had great mushroom flavor to it, so pleasantly surprised.

We probably ordered enough for 3-4 people but it actually was just two orders, one of the intestines and beef brisket so bring more people or take home the yumminess.

Highly recommend!“

“one of the best korean food in town

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

“Highly recommend this Catering Place!
The taste is way beyond great! I also want to THANK "JOY" Catering for delivering all the way out to City of Industry and our staff are looking forward to LUNCH everyday! We are very fortunate to find "JOY" Catering!!!“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“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.“

“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“

“My parents and I go to this restaurant whenever I visit them in Gardena. This is one of those restaurants that the local Koreans go to for good food. You know what I mean. We had sullungtang - I chose meat while my mom chose mixed. Excellent food and good banchan. The people around kept on asking for more radish kimchee - I didn’t think it was that good - we preferred their fresh cabbage kimchee.“

“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!❤️“

“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!!“

“Absolutely amazing, I wish I could remember the name of the girl up front she was so welcoming and let me know I was the first person ordering their new short rib, which by the way was amazing and so soft, and the kimchi cucumber was perfectly sweet with a hint of spice. I very much enjoyed this bright meal, and the brightness of the conversation from the girl up front. She was by far the friendliest server I’ve encountered and I love coming to this location for the quality! I came around 11:40 am in 7/14. So good!!!“

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

“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 ♡“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!😋“
