50 Best Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“Hardly a wait before 1pm 5-10. The entrance of the place is where the parking lot is, not on the corner of 5th street were I entered from 😅 they are very quick at clearing tables to let in more guests for dine in.

Ordered the brisket and it was delicious. Light and flavorful. Like others have stated, add your green onions and salt pepper or chili to your liking. Their radish and kimchi banchan were fresh and flavorful, my favorite being the radish! The milky smooth bone broth tasted delicious. Not heavy at all and so comforting!“

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“My husband and I found this gem on one of our K town adventures. The food is phenonmenal, the staff was out standing they cook the meat right in the table for you. My husband who is not a big steak eater absoultly loved it. We have told several friends and we are definitely coming back.“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“Very kind and attentive server who seemed to be handling half the restaurant by himself.

Tofu soup was good, but nothing mind-blowing. They're generous with their bonchon (sides), but I didn't like how watery the kimchi was. Bulgogi was fine.

I'm interested in seeing what other Korean restaurants LA has to offer, but based off this experience, I've had better Korean food for cheaper in Vancouver and Dallas.“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“Was visiting LA, stopped by Soowon Galbi for KBBQ dinner per friend’s recommendation and it was delicious! Had to be on waitlist but was so worth the wait! Good quality meat, generous side dishes, and quick and fast service! Clean restaurant!“

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

“Despite accidentally making reservations online for the following evening, the gentleman behind the entry table found a way for my family of 4 to enjoy a top notch Korean BBQ dinner. We were so grateful! The food was excellent and service first rate. Highly recommended!!“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Hands down one of my favorite Korean restaurants for years. The food just tastes amazing. Well known amongst Koreans for a reason. I always get the bulgogi and dongchimi noodles. The dongchimi noodles are a must when coming here, it’s what it’s best known for. Paired with their bulgogi, the experience just gets better. I’m not one who likes sweet, soy based marinated meats, but this place does it so well. Their marinade is not too strong or sweet, the meat is soft. Dip it into their nutty and savory sesame oil? Game over. The combination is just amazing. Please try these two together! Highly recommend. Yes, the bulgogi is a bit pricey, but it hits and the meat is so soft.“

“Marvin and the team were amazing, so was the food! Been there in January and it was great, saw they had a dine LA deal going with an updated menu, so here we go! Everything was amazing, delicious, good portion sizes and the team was highly accommodating! Definitely will be back soon!“

“Amazing authentic Korean food! The kkakdugi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and all of the side dishes were excellent. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the service was warm and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're craving authentic Korean comfort food. I'll definitely be back!“

“This place is a hidden gem! The menu is very small (5 options as of right now) and they have clearly perfected their food. I never had mudfish before, and I was curious to try it. The server patiently explained to me and my party how to eat it and it was so delicious! The mudfish Korean BBQ, banchan, and kimchi were also very yummy. The server was very polite and attentive, coming over to refill the water cups and banchan. I would definitely come back!“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Nice place very good to eat“

“Good food and fast service.“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“Amazing food, so worth the price as well! The 대창 is so delicious!! I have twin babies and the restaurant was very accommodating to my family & I with our stroller. We really appreciated it since we previously came from a way more spacious outdoor restaurant that gave us horrible service due to us having babies with us. So we left and decided to come to Yangmani instead to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Will be back for the amazing food and wonderful welcoming service from the staff! Thank you!“

“An incredible Korean BBQ restaurant with exceptional food and even better hospitality. The service makes you feel as though you’re dining in someone’s home, with genuine warmth and attention to detail. The meal comes with nearly 18 different banchan, each one fresh and delicious. Every part of the experience was outstanding—I highly recommend it.“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Busy and noisy -- but very tasty. I like a place that takes you at your word when you say you like spicy food.“

“I know chef KI from meteora restaurant way before and now he have his own .

Great service

Thank you Chef KI for one more excellent restaurant in our city“

“Stopped by Tofu Chon La for dinner while in town on a work trip, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The soondubu had a rich, flavorful broth with great depth, and the kimchi was among the better versions I’ve had. The panchan was fresh, and they were happy to provide refills without having to ask.

The kalbi was grilled nicely with just the right amount of char, tender, and well-seasoned. Ordering was simple and efficient, and the service was attentive throughout the meal, even though I was dining alone.

A very satisfying meal and a place I’d gladly return to the next time I’m in the area.“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“Food is great yet it takes awhile so order ahead.“

“I found my new favorite restaurant in Los Angeles. PZK BBQ on Beverly Blvd in the Fairfax neighborhood is it.

My daughter took me there for Father's Day, 2026. My go-to order at Korean restaurants is galbi, marinated beef short ribs. At PZK BBQ you can get all you can eat at a reasonable price. It's delicious. Service is quick because you grill it at your table. It's delicious.

The typical Korean side dishes, also all you can eat, are also delicious.

Our server was pleasant and efficient. The ambiance is pleasant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. The way the restaurant is set up, I couldn't see any way for a party of more than six could eat together. We were a party of five, my daughter, her family, and me, so we were fine.

There's a valet parking station out front, or there's street parking. The restaurant is kid friendly as long as your kids like Korean food.“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

“We have a friends gathering tonight at Jeju restaurants. The fish are very fresh here. It's a Japanese food but Korean style. I don't think they have sushi. Just sashimi. Lots of banchan plates. Again Korean style. My Korean friend is the one that ordered the food. We just here to enjoy. Service is very attentive.
Parking is tough. It's like a strip mall. The do have additional parking behind but also tough to park.“

“Chi Chi never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff is friendly, attentive, and creates such a welcoming atmosphere every time I visit. The portions are generous, the restaurant is clean, and the overall experience is consistently excellent. Sean and Kenya are the best!!!! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Big portions and good food! We ordered the kimchi pancakes, beef bulgogi with crystal noodles, and the tteokbokki noodle dish. I really enjoyed the pancakes, they were delicious and flavorful. My second favorite dish was were the tteokbokki noodles, they were thick and the mix of veggies and sauce all together really made the dish great.
The beef bulgogi and crystal noodles were good, but I feel that the bulgogi maybe could've had more flavor or seasoning. We also had some pork belly (not pictured), and this was my least favorite dish because of the flavoring.“

“This is my go to place for Korean BBQ, love their banchan. Service is so-so as I always notice suttle discrimination when I come to eat at this place. Servicer lady was a bit rude today when I went to pay my bill as she reminded me that bill doesn't include tip.“

“Whether you visit with family, friends or colleagues, this restaurant is proud to provide you with an outstanding dining experience.“

“I came in an hour before the store closed. As soon as I walked in, the waitress was very nice. She let me know that it was self seating.I've never been to a ramyun place and honestly, I would recommend it. I got everything. The waitress recommended the rice cakes and a bowl of creamy ramyun with pork belly. It was so good the broth is very delicious and the seasonings were all perfect.I would definitely be coming back here“
