48 Best Korean Restaurants near Los Gatos

“This Korean food is absolutely delish! A lot of these foods seem good to eat if it’s cold, but they are tasty anyways. We got the hot stone pot with the mozzarella cheese (which should probably have been shared by two people), seafood pancake, ramen, and the galbitang. The beef is well stewed, the hot stone pot is super cheesy, and the ramen is good quality for its price. This completely changed our view of Korean food, and we came here because we watched a Korean cooking show called “culinary class wars” and wanted to try some Korean food. Will definitely come again, and they have milk drinks and Korean sodas that the children really liked. Jipyeong rice wine was served with traditional bowls and also gets a thumbs up!“

“This place is so yummy!! Everything we ordered was delicious . The leftovers tasted even better the next day. The service was great. He attentive but not bugging us every few minutes.
It's a bit loud but that's because it's always packed with people.
The one bummer about this place is the bathrooms. They are always gross. They are wet and dark. But I'm still going to keep going there.“

“An amazing karaoke experience!

I came here with a group of friends, and we had an absolute blast. The private rooms were super clean, comfortable, and had great soundproofing — we could sing our hearts out without feeling self-conscious. The song selection was huge, with both English and Korean options (plus plenty of recent hits). The sound system was crisp, and the mics actually worked perfectly the whole night — which isn’t always the case at karaoke spots!

Highly recommend. I will be coming back often.“

“I dont even know where to begin... the moment i walked in, was met with the most incredibly bubbly and friendly host(Austin) who immediately let gave me the confidence i picked the right spot to try out. We almost talked for 20 minutes before i remembered i came for food so asked his rec. I promised on my return trip to try the bulgogi which he said was the most popular but i was intrigued by the kimchi infused fried rice so got that and i was not dissapointed! Starter was a salad that had a dressing i thought was a hint of peanut butter but he let me know the secret sauce 😅 but i cant ruin there secret recipe but its weird to say...its a salad you HAVE TO TRY. Literally every dish was fresh ingredients and exploding with flavor. I cannot so enough good things to convince you all to try this spot even if just one time!“

“My fiancé visited this location to today and it was wonderful l. The atmosphere was great, the food, absolutely delicious, and the service was great! Such a nice guy! Didn’t catch his name unfortunately but he was really nice. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.“

“Excellent food and exceptional service! Hwan (Hope I got his name right) provided attentive, customer-oriented service and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

The King's Menu is a must-try—an incredible culinary experience from start to finish!“

“Tobang delivers a classic Korean BBQ experience with generous banchan, quality meats, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The staff keeps the table stocked, refreshes side dishes without being asked, and checks in at the right moments, which makes the meal feel smooth and well‑paced. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the team moves with a steady rhythm that keeps the grill active and the table organized. It’s the kind of place where the grill becomes the center of the table and everyone naturally gets involved.

The food itself is flavorful and satisfying, from the sizzling cuts of pork galbi, cha dol baegi, and short ribs to comforting dishes like seafood tofu soup and kimchi fried rice. The seafood pancake is crisp and generous, and the Yakult at the end adds a fun, nostalgic touch. The variety of banchan keeps the meal balanced, and the mix of marinated and non‑marinated meats gives everyone something to enjoy. It’s a great spot for groups, casual dinners, or anyone craving a hands‑on dining experience with plenty of shareable dishes.

Overall, Tobang offers a dependable and enjoyable Korean BBQ outing. The atmosphere is warm, the portions are generous, and the service keeps everything running smoothly without rushing you. Whether you’re coming with a small group or a larger party, the experience feels communal in the best way, and the food delivers consistent flavor and comfort.“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Don Blanc! If you’re looking for a good place in Santa Clara, this is the spot. The quality of the wagyu and beef short ribs is unmatched. You can really tell they don't skimp on the grade of meat. Even the side dishes were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. Took the work from us bbq the meat ourselves they took the time to do it for us.“

“Very Good quality of meat barbecue. But service is bad.“

“Pro: Food was actually very good! my mother in law, husband, kids, father in law all love it!
if you can eat spicy, I recommend the spicy seafood jiang jiang noodle.
Con: Music was very very loud, not suitable for kids or babies.“

“🎉🎊🍻🍹🍗🥘🥗💪 Congrats!!!“

“When I first walked in, I wasn't sure what to expect, because it looks a little dated, but not bad, but then I received my delicious meal, very well prepared, everything was delicious, and the service just as good, will definitely be returning....“

“All Von's Chicken are franchises so therefore not all Von's Chicken are the same. Von's Chicken on Saratoga in the Strawberry Center stands above many of the Bay Area locations with their cleanliness and high food standards. Beer and Alcohol pricing here is so good, it is like Happy Hour every hour they are open. The best part of this restaurant will have to be the owner/chef/cashier/doordash window pickup/bathroom cleaner/kind hearted person, Dominique (cool name for a Korean guy). I'll be back to order more chicken and rip more packs. Thank you for the food and hospitality.“

“I can always trust the side dishes (banchan) here. The seasoning is always spot on—they taste exactly as I expect, or even better! These side dishes have been a total lifesaver for my daily meals. Thank you so much for the delicious food!“

“This place just opened. It's not clear what cuisine this is from the photos and description, and for some reason it's classified as Diner but it's doing brunch.

Anyway this is a Korean fusion cuisine restaurant and it's trying to mimic the success of the japanese fusion Soho in Milpitas. Its interior is modeled for fine dining and it has a comprehensive drinks menu. Food though is quite good, the bulgogi cream pasta has the right amount of cream and taste, it's not too heavy, and the bulgogi used high quality beef/steak pieces and not your run of the mill regular beef. The fried chicken is almost perfect, crispy outside, the crunch is just right, not too hard and not soggy. The uni rice pot is good but the cream doesn't have enough uni taste unfortunately. The service is excellent as well.“

“I had a wonderful dinner at Enjoy Seoul! The food was absolutely delicious — authentic, flavorful, and fresh. On top of that, the service was excellent; especially Suah she’s amazing, the staff was very welcoming and attentive.
What surprised me the most was the price — it’s very affordable for such high-quality food and great service. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience without breaking the bank, I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back“

“Very nice ambiance and great service. All staffs look professional and prompt.“

“The aunties here are so sweet and are so very attentive/kind! Food-wise, they make a lot of their banchan from scratch and you can tell the food here has so much heart put into it. Maybe it's a good thing after all that we had an issue with our reservation tonight at that... other restaurant that starts with B and rhymes with pong... Found our new fave mom-and-pop kbbq spot! We will most certainly be back.“

“I have been going to this wonderful Korean restaurant for 18 years, and I have never been disappointed. The food is excellent, staff are friendly, and it is our go to place for comfort food. Totally love it 🤗🤗🤗“

“We did a pick-up order at bb.q chicken Apple Park today but decided to just eat it at the restaurant instead because we were so hungry. The person who was in charge of the cashier graciously offered us cups of water and service even if we had a take-out order. This location has always been amazing and the chicken itself (spicy original is our usual order) has been consistent throughout the 5+ years we've been coming here!“

“Highly recommend Restaurant Gish. We had a lovely time. The food is excellent, and the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. They have a rotating menu so the food changes each month. I will definitely be back here again and am recommending this place to people I know.“

“We booked this for an important family dinner that I really needed to get right, and the venue absolutely came through for me. From the moment we walked in, the staff made the whole evening feel a bit special without ever overdoing it. They'd given us a beautifully set table tucked away enough to feel a bit private, our server was warm and engaged throughout, and the food was honestly some of the best we've had in months. Every course came out perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and beautifully presented. We worked through a starter each, mains, and a shared dessert at the end, with the staff quietly bringing out a little candle for the birthday in the middle of our group without us having to ask. That gesture absolutely made the evening for the person it was for. The pacing of the meal was textbook — never rushed, never forgotten — and we had plenty of time between courses to actually talk to each other. The bill at the end was very fair for the quality of the whole experience. The family has already agreed it's our new go-to for any kind of special occasion. Lovely place.“

“Was staying at Townplace across the street. For background I am from Texas and we don’t have much Korean food down there :(

The onion rings were a great flavor! Mandu ramen was great but would get it spicier next time. Kimchi was spot on!!“

“Good food. Family run with friendly service“

“Understanding, that we went during rush hour and didn't really sit long (maybe 20 mins) to almost finishing up our food. The hostess asked us to hurry up and pay the bill that they brought out early. For sure they were rushing us out. There was 2 people waiting at the door.“

“food is so good! happy tummy! service staff are awesome.“

“I became a fan of Woomihome after the second visit! Friends recommended Woomihome and I finally got to try it. I saw that they have meal kits, pre-made hearty soups, and side dishes. So far we have had spicy and sweet chewy noodles, steamed shishi peppers, yeolmu kimchi and braised beef in soy sauce. Everything we tried was tasty and did not disappoint. Woomihome has excellent customer service and it looks like it has a great system in place. The side dishes might be a tad bit pricier compared to Korean markets, but I can see that their quality and freshness speak volumes!“

“Crispy seafood pancake not too greasy, great for sharing. The kimchi tofu soup lacked kimchi so I wouldn't get it again, but the dumpling soup looked better. A good place for a quick tofu soup in a rainy day. Nothing fancy. Just basic meal when you want good tofu soup.“

“This is the best authentic Korean style bbq i have ever had! Sun hee is the best chef around town for all bbq and Korean style food Me and my family had the Egg wrapping with fried rice and it was the best!!“

“Indoor and outdoor dining. Great food, friendly service. Kimchee chige, bbq short ribs, ban chan and purple mixed grain rice was delicious. Plus the tofu is non GMO. 👍🏻“

“Such a hidden gem of a spot in Sunnyvale! A unique food experience compared to the more popular Korean food (bbq & tofu stews).

I love the kimchi pork rib dish & definitely get the fried rice afterwards. That fried rice changed my life! Yummy yummy

The seafood pancake is also delicious.

It can get quite crowded/busy on Friday & Saturday. The aunties may take your order before you are seated and the food will come out promptly after being seated.

For a more relaxed experience, come Mon-Thurs in my opinion.“

“My wife and I ordered the tofu combo that comes with Kalbi on a sizzling plate. About 30$+. It was very delicious as my wife compared it to my mother’s. The bon chon was great as they had at least 6 sides. However, they forgot to put in the seafood tofu my wife ordered. When we asked about it they actually gave us a refill on the sides and gave us complimentary gyoza, at least 12 pieces. They definitely made up for their mistake. I would definitely recommend and will be back.“

“TLDR: Pricey but worth it for delicious Korean food. Service can be hit or miss, ambiance varies, but the dishes are flavorful. Favorites include the Kimchi Bossam and Tteokbokki.

I’ll be honest, this place is on the pricey side, but the food is consistently delicious every time I visit. The only downside is I can’t come as often as I’d like since the cost is higher than most Korean spots. Still, it’s worth it, so just a heads-up if you’re planning to come.

The service can be hit or miss. Sometimes attentive, other times you’ll need to flag someone down. The ambiance is usually laid back, though it depends on the day and crowd size.

Here’s what I’ve tried:
Kimchi Bossam (19 or 21) – Hell yes!
Seasoned Raw Crab in Spicy House Sauce (25) – Messy and complicated, but not the main event.
Tteokbokki – Delicious.“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!“

“Solid music and solid service! Haesoo and hayoung were so very sweet and very kind! They gave us great service and great food (fries!). Reach out to them for the best service! They gave us a good farewell🤩. We’d definitely come back here again!“

“Bibimbap hot pot with spicey pork, yum. lots of great vegetables and and the pork with egg over rice.“

“As soon as I got into the restaurant I can tell if this is a great place and a great atmosphere. It was just right and perfect. The staff members treated us like family. My mom for Mother's Day spun the wheel and we got $30 off our next item, and the owner I believe gave my dad a free spin and we got a free item also as well. My dad said he loved this place so much that he's going to be here for Father's Day. Highly recommend this restaurant to enjoy with your family or maybe just a few co-workers or friends. The funny thing is that when my mom first spin it says a free alcohol drink which nobody drink. But of course she re-spin the wheel again. Food was delicious, also was there non caffeine hot teas.“

“Honestly, this place is a total gem. We went in with high expectations and they still managed to blow me away.

Everything we ordered was a 10/10. The Galbi was super tender and had that perfect smoky, charred flavor from the grill. Even the Banchan (the little side dishes) were fresh and flavorful—I think I asked for three refills of the kimchi because it was that good. You can tell they aren't cutting any corners in the kitchen. You also have to order the seafood pancake and japchae 😊“

“Seafood pancakes serve as an appetizer/ side dish... Baebimpop is a winner for me DELICIOUS FOODS👌“

“It's an amazing and conducive place.. i like all the foods � very delicious and affordable price.. so, to all people out there try it!!“

“Rachel and her team are AMAZING, the food is so delicious. I hired the truck for a work event and everyone enjoyed the choices, some folks came back for seconds and thirds! Rachel is reliable and super friendly, from booking the truck to the end of the event everything was seamless.“

“You ever watch Kdramas? If so, have you seen their restaurants there in Korea? Its literally the same vibe you'd get from this place. We've been going to this spot since before covid hit. And their food hasnt changed one bit. Everything you order would hit. Whenever you order KBBQ they would cook it for you too. Dont forget to order a bottle or two of soju.“

“가격대비 맛이 좋아요.“

“This is honestly the best korean barbecue I've ever had. I went here about a year ago with a friend, and we truly had the best time. The gentleman serving us was kind enough to help us pick out some items, warned us not to fill up on the really tasty rice (because everything else we had was equally tasty), and we were not disappointed! The food was made by his family and he explained that they had extremely high quality meats, and you could tell. Our server even cooked the meats for us because it was a slower time of the day.

Then when his family went to eat dinner in the middle of the restaurant, as they do presumably every day, he even shared his own dinner with us, so we could try it. I honestly have never been so impressed with someone's service, that me and my friend (who have been servers ourselves) tipped him excessively and he deserved every bit of it.

Please support this small family business, they clearly put a lot of love into what they do, and like us- you will not be disappointed.“

“I’ve tried quite a few places around here, and Moonbowls is easily the healthiest bowl option I’ve found. I’ve become a regular customer because the food is fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced.

My personal favorite is the tofu bowl — it’s satisfying, and doesn’t feel heavy at all.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something clean, healthy, and delicious!“

“This place is cozy, comfy, and has pretty good food. The sides are plentiful and flavors are fresh. If you want a refill on something, dont be hesitate to ask the aunties who are the sweetest. The food is great and the amount is perfect. My go to is the ramen tofu soup where you have a perfect balance of ramen AND tofu. Medium is perfect where its not too spicy but you get a kick. Love this place.“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Jang Su Jang! We kicked things off with the Wang Mandoo those massive king dumplings were juicy and packed with flavor plus the crispy Haemul Pajeon seafood pancake loaded with goodies. For my main, I went with the LA Galbi short ribs, and they were tender, perfectly marinated, and grilled just right. The banchan sides were fresh and addictive too. Great authentic Korean food and friendly service!“
