50 Best Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Another ktown classic which I’m so glad I finally got to try. Sul lung tang is such a comforting dish for me with the warm hearty soup. I got the mixed which came with brisket, flank, intestine, tripe, tongue etc, although you can customize it however you want. I topped mine with a generous helping of spring onion, seasoned with salt and paper, poured in my bowl of rice and proceeded to slurp the bowl till I could lick the bottom. Thinking about it makes me drool. Highly highly recommended!!
We got lucky and there was no wait when we arrived but by the time we were done eating, the line was out the door! Service is quick they only serve cabbage and radish kimchi for banchan.“

“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.“

“Their spicy beef and leek soup was really not that good. That beef was super tough and the soup was incredibly spicy even after I’ve asked the man in the back for it to be little spicy as possible. Their other soup won gi tang was amazing, packed with plenty of beef and it wasn’t too salty. Their big soup plate won gi soo yook was really great too! The two servers in the front were super nice and the welcoming. Very nice atmosphere and we got seated right away and served with water.“

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

“Ordered the seafood and leek pancake with the assorted mild tofu soup combo and mild wasn't really spicy which is great since I cannot handle too much spice. My friend got the cold noodle jjol myun and it was quite spicy. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious and we asked for refills!“

“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!“

“OK, there are a lot of Korean barbecue place with all different price point and meat quality.
This place, definitely deserve a five star because
First, their price point is good, we order a combo for six people ($200) and we were really full, the combo came with the steam egg and soup that’s a great value. The meat is not exceptional but I think it’s great for the price.

Second, they have their own private parking, how awesome is that?, I hate looking for parking in LA or some places force you to do valet parking!

Third, they cook for you , the services post office how may I help you? Hello oh hello Terrence yeah what happened? Oh yeah yeah yeah sure OK got it. OK no worries. Bye were great. The waiter was very polite.“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“amazing food and good for family“

“I stopped for lunch Monday 22nd 2026 around 11:30 am, my plan was to order cold noodle(냉면) but changed plan after checking the menu,beef short rib soup (갈비탕) was only $17
I was by myself, I was seated big table for 4 people, 6 side dishes were served with cold water(I eas asked if I want cold or hot water)I said cold and they served cold water and 6 side dishes, I accidebtally droppes the cup with ice water, made a mess on table, server asked me if I am ok and cleaned the table also refilled ice water, had enough beef short ribs and all the side dishes were delicious“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Jilli is just a really good spot. The food is solid, the makgeolli is so addicting, and the risotto is surprisingly soooooo gooood. But the staff is honestly the highlight. They’re genuinely friendly and fun without being over the top about it, not to mention very knowledgable about the selections. The kind of place that just has a good vibe and makes you want to come back.“

“The food and service were amazing. The meats and options they have here are very unique and delicious, up to 32 different options. The person who gave us our meat was nice and caring. As some side notes, if this is your first time going to Korean BBQ place, you cook your own food so make sure you know how to cook meats, also the music they played here is pretty good!“

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

“Good food and fast service.“

“I’ve heard about this place before and all the lore that came with it being one of K-towns gems. I had to come and try it out for myself, what I can say is that truly and honestly it’s one of my favorite spots to eat at. You don’t come here for the frills or the fancy seating you come here to eat good home cooked food. I ordered the combo mudfish and soup meal and boy was I in for a treat the fish was perfectly cooked and all the banchan was perfectly prepared. The Kimchi brewed in house daily and the soup to perfection.

I will for sure be coming back soon!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I was a little hesitant when I first entered and saw all of the employees were clearly not korean

But this elevated KBBQ experience was absolutely incredible and worth the price

There was so many more banchan that you’d normally see, with a few items I’ve never even had before, like their seaweed noddle salad, which was REALLY good and had a texture similar to jellyfish.

The japjae was kind of underwealming tho. Would rather have it just be replacable with fried rice or something.

The meats were all exceptional, the seafood was cooked in the kitchen and brought out and was also delicious, and the steamed egg is really good too.

Genuinely will come back next time in in LA.“

“Food was absolutely amazing. Great quality and freshly hot when you receive it. The only thing that really bothered me was the waiter tapping 20% tip automatically without asking us, or anywhere at the restaurant stating gratuity is automatically 20% … Very weird. Prices are already on the higher end, so him essentially taking a $20 from us is not appropriate.“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“I know chef KI from meteora restaurant way before and now he have his own .
Dine restaurant KI few times and always Love it .
Great service
Tasty food
Nice atmosphere.
Thank you Chef KI for one more excellent restaurant in our city“

“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. ☺️“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“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.“

“The best korean bbq i ever tasted“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

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

“JunTong SulLungTang is a cozy Korean restaurant in Los Angeles known for its authentic sullungtang (beef bone soup) and other traditional soups like galbi tang and haejangguk, served with house‑made kimchi and rice that many diners find comforting and flavorful. Customers often praise the rich broth, generous portions, and friendly service in a relaxed, no‑frills setting that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any day of the week. While it’s a simple spot, the hearty soups and classic Korean comfort food make it a go‑to choice for warming up on a chilly day or satisfying cravings for traditional flavors in Koreatown.“

“Town Hof & Thanks Chicken in Koreatown, Los Angeles is a fun and casual Korean fried chicken spot that’s great for dinner, drinks, and late‑night bites, known for its crispy, flavorful fried chicken with sauces like habanero‑garlic, sweet spicy, and soy garlic that many diners rave about. The menu also offers interesting pairings like rosé mala tteokbokki and other Korean pub‑style dishes, and people often enjoy the laid‑back atmosphere with beer, soju, plenty of seating, and TVs for game nights. While it gets crowded on weekends and service can be a bit slow at peak times, the friendly staff, generous portions, and good parking in the plaza make it a solid pick for satisfying Korean fried chicken and drinks with friends.“

“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!“

“Im going to miss this place once i move to the bay area. This place was walkable from my place and alot of my friend would park at my joint and would walk there. Only downside which is upside is its packed all the time but its amazing vibes“

“Definitely one of the best sushi items in LA. It's sushi made from live fish. Like depending on the fish, sometimes the fillet moves/squirms on the dish. Located in a place I would not expect high quality sushi. Can't judge sushi based on its cover.“

“Absolutely phenomenal duck KBBQ. Never had duck for KBBQ and it was decadent. All of the ducks cooks and smothered in duck fat and in the garlic. At the end they made fried rice with banchan and duck fat. It was heavenly. It was perfect for a large group of 10 with their semi-private dining in the back. A must try.“

“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“
