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!“

“I was staying in a hotel nearby and saw this restaurant on google maps so I wasn’t sure how it would be. But honestly, this place was really excellent. One of the better Korean BBQ experiences I’ve had. All of the food was very fresh and tasty. They gave us a huge variety of dishes and I ate until I was very full, but I still felt great afterwards. On top of that, the staff were very nice. Great experience.“

“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+++++“

“Came with a friend as a play date with our kids my and we had so much food we couldn’t finish! Got the dooki combo. The ddukbokki was served on a heating dish so it would stay hot throughout the meal. My kids devoured the dooki rice and cheese balls. The chicken was the sleeper hit though... So crispy and piping hot and perfectly seasoned.“

“There is no other substitute. The bone in Wings of Fire are exactly what they advertise. I am a rare person that has principles. I demand that my food puts up a good fight. Wings of Fire never lets me down. With pickled radishes and Soju you can’t go wrong. The other flavors are always great. Don’t you sell out on me BB.q“

“Awesome“

“As a Korean, I would give it a 3.5-4 stars for flavor. The vibe is great for a friend’s gathering. It is pretty loud like a pub. The service was great. They check up every 10 minutes. Very friendly. They give you free soda if you write reviews too.“

“Love this spot

We come into town for this food

It taste great

We get the half and half bulgolgi bow

Their kimchi is awesome their flavors are awesome and actually spicy“

“The food was delicious and made to order! I love the refreshing ingredients! It's a little hole in the wall restaurant, bit some of the best foods come from places like these. Would highly recommend giving Lunch Bang a try. Just note, the place is small and it doesn't accommodate a lot of people.“

“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.“

“Food - ***** Service - ***** Atmosphere - **** Highly Recommend“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. I had the tofu beef stew medium spice with all the fixings on the side. I also had an ice cold Cass beer which I have had before. Bohye was very attentive and gave me great recommendations. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.“

“All the banchan tasted fresh and tasted like it was made by a korean mom. The food was good, clean and simple. The seafood pancake was crispy and on point. The beef soup with the glass noodles was delicious 👌 pair with lemon Jinro sochu. You'll thank later. The portions of food they serve are out of control but the quality and taste is by far worth the price which is very reasonable. I would recommend of you are visiting from oit of town, must try. Service is above and beyond and the attention to detail is incredible as well.“

“Everything about this place was amazing, the lady at the counter is really sweet and super nice. The food was bomb, generous portions and every single bite I took was amazing; even reheated the food tasted 10/10. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to have a wonderful lunch.“

“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 had such a great lunch at Annie’s Table in Irvine! It’s one of those hidden local spots that feels warm and welcoming the minute you walk in. The atmosphere is clean and relaxed — a perfect place to grab a delicious meal without any fuss.

The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From the comforting bowls to the tasty sides and drinks, it all hit the spot.

It’s also cool that they have fun drinks like boba, and smoothies if you want something extra with your meal.

Annie’s Table is definitely worth checking out — we’ll be back!“

“I tried Haesintang for the first time, and it was such a revitalizing experience that I can confidently say this will now be my go-to nourishing dish. The flavors were vibrant and energizing, truly awakening both my senses and appetite.

The generous combination of octopus, abalone, short ribs, chicken, and mushrooms was impressive from the moment it arrived. Each ingredient tasted exceptionally fresh. The octopus was tender and pleasantly chewy, the abalone delicately cooked, and the short ribs and chicken were simmered until the meat fell effortlessly off the bone.

What stood out most was the broth. Rather than relying on heavy seasoning, it seemed to be crafted from natural ingredients, creating a deep yet clean flavor that beautifully tied everything together from start to finish.

The staff were warm and attentive, kindly refilling side dishes throughout the meal.

The highlight came at the end — rice cooked in the remaining broth to create a rich, comforting porridge. Even though I was already full, I couldn’t stop eating. Paired with crisp kimchi, it was the perfect finish. Despite the generous portions, the meal felt wholesome and easy to digest.

In every aspect — quality, flavor, and service — it was outstanding. I would gladly return and enjoy this dish with my family again.“

“Their Jjampong and Jajangmyeon are truly excellent. I ordered the Beef Brisket Bean Sprout Jjampong and the Jajangmyeon, and both dishes exceeded my expectations. I am definitely looking forward to revisiting this place! The only downside is the waiting time, as the restaurant is frequently crowded and has limited seating.“

“Very good food & service.
Packed house even though we missed the Sunday dinner rush--we were seated smack in front of the wall & painted-over outlets, etc., very odd, do not recommend that table.
Wish it were closer to us.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“This Korean BBQ is seriously one of the best I’ve ever tried. The meat quality is amazing—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. Every bite tastes fresh and smoky in the best way, especially when wrapped with lettuce, garlic, and spicy sauce. The side dishes are also on point, and you can tell everything is made with care. The staff is super friendly and helps cook the meat just right, so you don’t have to worry about anything. The vibe is cozy, lively, and perfect for hanging out with friends. 10/10 would come again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“The gamjatang was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the pork was tender and full of flavor. It was the perfect comfort food, especially on a cool day. I would definitely order it again.
And JJol noodle !!!“

“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“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“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“

“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!!“

“The galbi beef here is excellent. Presentation also well done. Fast casual Korean food that really hits the mark.

Looks like it may be family owned or run. Authentic Korean food prepared by authentic Korean ladies. Not too much seating inside though and the chairs are hard, not comfortable.“

“Food was amazing and service was too“

“We were starving after a long walk and luckily found this amazing Korean spot nearby. From the moment we walked in, Chris made us feel welcome and took the time to explain everything since it was our first visit. The service was truly outstanding.

The food exceeded our expectations — all three dishes were absolutely delicious! The portions are generous, and we loved the variety of side dishes that come with the meal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great Korean food!“

“I love this ZIP BBQ in Tustin, Its small placed but it well management the store are very clean the services are great and fast the foods are excellence. Thanks will coming back and recomend“

“Cute place. The eel ubu was fantastic, very tender. The bulgogi and pork teriyaki ubu were also very good. Inari is a really fun form factor for these classic Korean and Japanese ingredients (it was new to me). I thought it would be messy but it stayed together very well.“

“Everything was delicious for the price! I got the Menu B and the quality of the meats were superb, they gave us a good portion too. The side dishes were just as good! Love the self serve area cause they had sushi as well! Staff were friendly and quick with changing our grill! The restaurant itself was clean and the environment was not too loud so it was easy to talk in there. Totally worth the try!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Food was pretty good and the service was great. We went around noon on a weekday and it wasn't busy at all. Our food came out quick and hot.
We got the tteokbokki with fried squid and another order with beef brisket. I ordered mine spicy and my wife wanted mild but we couldn't tell the difference between the two. The spice level wasn't too hot for me (I like it really spicy) but my wife thought hers was too hot.
I also had the soondae, which was pretty good. The skin around it was a bit crunchy for me but some may prefer it that way.“

“This was my first time visiting I Can BBQ, a Korean all-you-can-eat BBQ restaurant. The location is great, the restaurant is very clean, and the interior design is really nice. The price is reasonable, but the quality of the meat is excellent. On top of that, the service was very good. I would definitely come back!“

“We've eaten here a few times, both inside and takeout. Each time the food has been delicious! 🤤 We usually get the bulgogi pizza and some wings. The lady working the counter and serving the food is super nice and is like a mother making sure you're taken care of. I always try to get some food here when I'm in the area and highly recommend it!“
