50 Best Korean Restaurants near Orange

“Overall solid value for the price and although the sauces lacked flavor I will say the beef was smoky and tasty! The spicy pork wasn’t bad, I felt the plate portions were ok for the price. If the sauces got a bit better flavor and less vinegary for the spicy one I would’ve been more pleased. But it’s a great atmosphere and awesome friendly service. Easy to do for a quick lunch!“

“Fast service. Love the chefs touch. Warm and golden brown chicken. I always go here after the gym for meal prepping bowls-3- plus a discount. They always have deals and give the best prices. They always give more. I love it here definitely going always. Been busy more often. Overall they are getting popular“

“Hello, last week I went to get my free food from the coupon that you offer to customers but the manager has no activity or personality towards customers. He was rude to me. Apart from me, I have always bought my food with you for a long time regularly. I always go 4 to 5 days a week. I have already seen it on a few times but he always treats you in a rude way and I am paying for my food. I am not asking for things for free. I will always go shopping with you because all the people who work there are very friendly and the people who work in the kitchen are also very friendly. They greet me because I know everyone and they are all very good people and the reason I am complaining is because Mr. Miguel denied me the plate of tofu he said I could only grab the chicken plate and it's okay I understand but he should not be rude to customers and the truth is that I don't like the way he treats you“

“Service was friendly and quick, and i got food.“

“Absolutely loved this place so good I forgot to get a snap of the food, I went for the lemon pepper and it does taste like LEMON I love lemon so the taste was perfect for me the chicken if juicy and soft, then wings and popcorn chicken were great but the wings are my favorite“

“This is the best flame broiler i have ever been to. The flavor of their meat and chicken is beyond amazing! I highly recommend coming here to grab lunch or dinner! Also the customer service is top notch!! You won't find a friendlier staff anywhere else!“

“First time to my sound chicken with friends the service was excellent , she (the Manager) is very friendly and helpful. The fired chicken are so good crunchy and the french fried so tasty. Definitely will come back highly recommend . A+++++“

“One of my favorite places to get naengmyun. Mo Ran Gak is a name that is widely known to have reputable cold noodles.
When you get a meat dish with naengmyun, they give you a small side dish of the spicy one as well. Or vice versa if you got the spicy, you'll get the broth one as a side.
There is a small parking lot here and usually a line even right when they open.
I would advise on coming early or putting aside enough time to wait 1 hour before being seated on a busy day.“

“Awesome“

“Went for something different in Fried Chicken, and I was not disappointed. The chicken is crispy outside and tender inside. I got a half chicken with the Secret Sauce. Enjoyed it greatly. I had it with curly fries, a pretty good large portion. There was enough for two. I tried to finish all the chicken and failed.
The value is good.
I'll have to come back and try some more of their menu.“

“Lunch Bang is a Gem! Killer Burgers & Korean Food!
This Santa Ana spot is a true mom-and-pop gem. I came for the smashed burgers, which are genuinely to die for, but was pleasantly surprised to see they also offer authentic Korean dishes! While I haven't tried the Korean food yet, based on the quality of the burger, I will definitely be back to try the bulgogi or bibimbap.
A heads-up: don't expect a fancy establishment. The focus here is clearly on the food, and the simple setting is reflected in their great prices. It's a trade-off I'll happily make for a meal this good. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been here twice now and it’s so good. The staff is very friendly, especially to my mom who is new to Korean food. The appetizers, mains, and desserts are very yummy and affordable. It also has my favorite kimchi so that’s a win for me! Highly recommend“

“Stop in on a work trip. Sayen served us and did a great job explaining our options and how everything worked. Service and food were fast, portion was more than enough and very tasty. They make the hot sauce there and the spiciest was perfect heat level and very good.“

“This place was amazing. Great service from the staff, beginning to end, made sure we were well taken care of. Then there is the food, and it did not disappoint. Very healthy portions and the flavor profiles were next level. Safe to say everything that hit the table was delicious. My friend and I spend a lot of time going to different food places and doing reviews, and this is one of those places we will be referring our own family and friends to. So if you have not checked it out, I highly suggest that you do. It's worth the while and the prices are more than fair. You definitely get the bang for your buck here.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“The quality of the pork belly was excellent, and the service of having the staff grill the meat for us made the experience very comfortable. The variety of pickled side dishes was impressive and paired perfectly with the meat. Both the doenjang-jjigae and kimchi-jjigae were absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself was spacious and very clean. One thing I wish was that the staff could have been a bit friendlier, but overall, if you’re looking for authentic Korean-style pork BBQ, I’d definitely recommend this place.“

“We were having a family get-together so I ordered from Cham. The atmosphere is a food court - nothing fancy, but I was ordering to go. My favorite dish was the spicy chicken skewers with the Korean style white rice (short grain). It had a nice cabbage side dish with it also. So good! I also enjoyed the Soondubu. I tried the rice cakes and I've had better elsewhere. The Korean fried chicken was yummy - crunchy and light. The day before, I also tried their Korean mozzarella corn dog - that was great, fresh and crunchy, and had a matcha boba tea which was really nice - not too sweet. I'd love to go back and try their ramen soups. The lady was very helpful and nice. I would definitely recommend Cham!“

“1 year ago I went here for the 1st time, ordered noodle #2, black bean, fried rice and a soup. The beef noodle #2 is the only item I order after that. I grew up eating so many ramen and Chinese noodle plates in San Gabriel Valley area and at little tokyo, Jeong 's noodle is my top 1 or 2. I invited my family and friends over to try it,they all liked it. The business next door has people lining up all the time, but I wasn't impressed by their food. Jeong 's Noodle deserves that long line.“

“Stopped by Yup Dduk in Irvine and it was definitely a solid spot. We got the Yup Dduk Tteokbokki, Yup Dduk Chicken Stew, Tuna Mayo Rice, and a Potato Cheese Corndog. The tteokbokki and chicken stew were the real standouts — full of flavor, good heat, and just the right kick to keep things interesting. The tuna mayo rice and corndog were solid sides that paired well without stealing the show. The spot itself is casual and unassuming, and the food definitely delivers. If you’re into Korean street-style dishes with bold spice and flavors that actually hit, this place is worth carving out time for.“

“I got BiBim Nangmyeon (Spicy Cold Noodles) and Soondae (Blood Sausages). The sides were great. My favorite were the fish cakes since it was peppery (something I’ve never tried the way they made it). The tomato and cucumber salad was great, sour and refreshing. Kimchi tastes homemade, more on the gingery side of flavor. The only thing I would have preferred would be a stronger cold noodle broth. Prices were reasonable.“

“My friend and I got their spicy marinated crab and it was soooo good. The perfect texture and flavor. It wasn’t too spicy and it paired so well with rice and seaweed. We also got the beef soup with dumplings and rice cake which was also amazing as well! The workers here are so kind too“

“Kind of a hidden hole in the wall spot a bit off of the main Garden Grove Koreatown strip.

Good set of 반찬 (side dishes) and the portions were large. I ordered the 갈비탕 (rib soup) and it had large pieces of meat that fell off the bone.“

“My family & I love this place! The food is delicious & they have kim chi fried rice & other items some place don’t offer. The staff is also super nice & you get free delicious ice cream! We’ve eaten at other places & it doesn’t come close to here . The price is so good in comparison too!“

“Annie’s Table feels like a hidden gem with homestyle cooking done right. The dishes tasted fresh and comforting, almost like a home-cooked meal. The staff was warm and welcoming, creating a family-like atmosphere. The desserts were especially good and worth saving room for. A wonderful place for a relaxed meal.“

“Very tasty! I got the soy sauce fried chicken and soon tofu soup with dumplings. I would eat another plate of chicken right now if I had it. I got medium spicy soup but it was pretty mild, someone else at our table got very spicy and said it was mild as well. I'll probably try it a level or two spicier next time, but your mileage may vary.“

“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!“

“Simple Korean comfort food set in a cute little restaurant setting-

Got the Korean katsu meal which comes with soup , along with a roll of bulgogi kimbap and my husband got their combo set with ddukbokki and kimbap, which came with two dumplings.

Simple, fresh and delicious with kind and welcoming servers“

“The seafood pancake was incredibly delicious. Such fresh ingredients. The green onions were crunchy and thick. The octopus, fish, and shrimp flavors were the right combination of salty and sweet. The egg batter just perfectly seasoned. And that outside crunch...it spoke to my soul.“

“If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food, Gamjagol is the place to be! We indulged in their signature Gamjatang—​a hearty pork bone soup with tender meat that falls off the bone, rich broth, and perfectly cooked potatoes.

We also enjoyed the Bossam, which are pork slices boiled in a flavorful brine to perfection and served with cabbage. The combination of the tenderness of the meat and strong flavors was delightful!

The generous portions and authentic flavors combined with the amazing service truly made our dining experience memorable. If you’re in the Buena Park area, don’t miss out on this cozy hidden gem!​“

“We ordered the bulgogi and the galbi dosirak boxes which were like large deluxe bento boxes.

Each box included the main meat selection, a large serving of rice (which they graciously offered to split 1/2&1/2 with salad), 2 of their meat/noodle fried dumplings, 3 small servings of banchan/veggie pickles, and a scoop of japchae/glass noodles.

This box was a generous serving of food. As pictured, the fork is extra large... It's lots!

I want to go back to try the Kimpap. We especially liked their dumplings and galbi was tender and delish!“

“Food was amazing and service was too“

“Everything is great! Love the food, service & atmosphere! Strongly recommended good restaurants!🙏🥰“

“Moobongri Soondae is one of those Korean comfort food restaurants that people in the area seem to really like. It offers hearty soups, rich broths, and dishes that are filling and authentic. It’s especially popular among those craving soondae (Korean blood sausage), hotpots, and various soups. It tends to draw a crowd, especially in the evening.“

“I came here for lunch because I thought they had kimbap, but they don't have it anymore lol. Instead of kimbap, they sell yubus. It's also one of those places where you can pick a pack of instant ramen and cook it there. It's pretty cool tbh and places like this where you cook instant ramen and eat there are trendy now. I think it's because those videos where people eat at Korean convenience stores are going viral haha.

At first, I was only going to try the yubus. They were really good - I'm glad they had these instead of kimbap. I had the crab meat ubu, the creamy spicy tuna ubu, and the fresh salmon ubu. The fish was very fresh and delicious. And they pile the fish on so much too. I liked all three so much that I can't choose a favorite. The prices are a little higher than at Atoyubu, and they have less variety. But I think that Ubu Ubu yubus are just as good if not better. If anything, I like the sashimi ones better than at Atoyubu because Ubu Ubu gives you more fish. Also there's much less of a wait.

I couldn't resist also trying an instant ramen too. I picked out a Cream Carbonara Buldak ramen with a raw egg as a topping. The lady working there was so nice and helped me use the machine to cook my ramen. She gave me advice on how to best cook the carbonara and even drained the water for me. The cream carbonara Buldak ramen was very yummy. It was spicy and creamy and the raw egg made it even creamier. I will say that all the ramen packets are $7 here, which I think is high because you can go to Hmart or any store and buy the same thing for like $1-2. I don't think eating it in the store really added much. Sure, you can add toppings but you have to pay extra for the toppings too hahaha. It was fun though, so maybe that's the appeal? And they did give me a free drink on the house so maybe it was kinda worth it. I lowkey might pay for it again though hahaha it really was fun. And the yubus are really good.“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“The best Gob Chang restaurant in the Buena Park area. Food comes out already mostly cooked and is kept hot on small burner, so no bbq smell after eating. Meat quality is great, and their side dishes are the best combination of the meat. Their pork belly is great also. And definitely try their cold noodle.“

“Staff are friendly. Place is clean and wait time was very minimal“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Great service, really premium meat, family friendly, we tried Halal lamb and it was vey delicious, tender and perfectly marinated with great spices.
This place is definitely GoTo when you want to Try Korean BBQ style.
Homemade desserts worth the try“

“I come here almost every day during lunch, and the staff is always welcoming and kind. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy. Great portions, quick service, and a clean, healthy option I can count on during the workday. Highly recommend.“

“I I had the tteokbokki squid and the 1/2 tempura. Was very tasty. Tteokbokki was just the right size for one person and there was a good balance of the ingredients. Next time I would get just the tteokbokki by it self. I didn’t like the tempura.“

“Have been coming here for years! Their jokbal is so chewy and full of collagen. And I can't speak enough about their soondae gookbap, it is very delicious with full of flavors. If you are at H mart for grocery shopping I recommend stopping by at this place to try their food. I high recommend!“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“We got the combo and all of it was delicious. Love the beef kimbap, my man loved the beef spicy soup. The portions are pretty sizeable, had to take the tteoki-bokki home because we got full. For sure will return again and try their fried chicken.“

“Great lunch special priced at $22.99 (available 7 days a week which is pretty rare) and they have a DIY taco station! The taco station is so unique and definitely worth trying to elevate the meal! Good vibes, decent service, and you can queue via yelp waitlist. There are two locations La Habra + Rowland Heights!“

“This Korean spot in Irvine is a fantastic destination for satisfying comfort food, particularly excelling in its flavorful chicken wings and spicy rice cake dishes (Tteokbokki). The menu features a strong variety of Korean staples, including excellent kimbap and hearty noodle soups, making it a great place for sharing. Portions are generous, and the overall quality is consistently high, making it a reliable favorite among locals for a casual and tasty Korean fix“

“I’ve been to this restaurant several times.
Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been delicious, and the portions are generous.
The servers are generally friendly, although the place tends to get very crowded.
I usually try to visit outside of peak dining hours to avoid the rush“

“I’ve eaten here about a dozen times over the last six months and the quality is consistently high and the service is great! I love 92 Chicken and like it more than bb.q chicken.

The fried chicken is juicy inside and crisp outside. The fries and onion rings are superb and the pizza is generous.

The lady who serves is super friendly and generous with drinks and sides!“

“Excellent food. 👍. Will come back again.“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“
