6 Best Korean Restaurants near Monterey

“Super tasty Korean meat heavy dishes. The short ribs are out of this world. The spicy chicken is flavorful and quite spicy, a rarity around Monterey. I also got the squid tentacles which were large and meaty unlike other calamari. Great experience“

“Husband and I had a great meal at Korea House! We went on a Wednesday evening but it was not too packed. The waitress and owners were very kind and friendly as they greeted us.

We ordered the soondubu jjigae, tofu stew, and 2 bowls of rice, since we both like sharing our meal.

The stew came with many delicious side dishes that were all authentic and well seasoned. The jjigae came not too hot, but warm. Take note that if you want an egg in it, request for it while you're ordering and ask them to make the soup a bit hotter so it'll cook the egg once you crack it in.

They have regular white rice but it was well cooked.

According to the owner, they have a jazz band playing every Friday night (or first Friday?), we were so sad to miss it! Hope to stop by next time.“

“You need to try a seaside brand new Korean restaurant when I went. It was a soft opening and I thought I would give it a try and I was not disappointed. All of the food was delicious recently priced, and the server that gave me the food to go was very sweet. It was an overall wonderful experience

Parking: Parking is not a problem because it’s in a spot where there are lots of stores all around. It is free parking. Weed“

“My husband and I want to try something different so we decide to go to this restaurant. We ordered the spicy pork and the Korean Fried rice in the pot. They are pretty good but a little bit pricy. It’s a small cozy family owned restaurant. There were a lot of people coming in during dinner hours. The Parking is limited but we didn’t have problem since we came in earlier.“

“Was amazing chicken and fried chicken rice !!! You won’t be disappointed and the staff is so helpful and kind … will go again !!!“

“Yummy 😋, great experience“
