6 Best Korean Restaurants near Pacific Grove

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

“This place is pretty different from most of the other restaurants on Alvarado for all the right reasons. First of all, the place is very small in a good way. It has a weirdly cozy atmosphere in the same way that a understairs room does. The menu is small, but all of it was good. The kalbi was the standout to me, but the spicy chicken and pork were also great. The service was excellent; it was just one lady running the front of house and it's apparent she wants all customers to enjoy their time there. The prices were the main drawback; our bill came out to around $120 for 3 of us.“

“We live in San Francisco and were visiting Monterey when we searched for a good Korean restaurant and decided to give this place a try. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived, and we were so happy to see such a wide variety of Korean dishes on the menu.

The three of us really enjoyed the food, especially because there were many dishes that are not easy to find in the U.S. Everything was generous, flavorful, and tasted homemade, just like Korean food should.

My mother especially loved the kimchi and said it was much better than the kimchi we usually buy at the market, so we even purchased some to take home. Honestly, the food was so delicious that even compared to what we would eat in Korea, we had absolutely nothing to complain about.

Everyone who worked there was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our meal even more enjoyable.

And I have to give a special thank-you to the staff for going out of their way to safely mail back the cardigan I accidentally left behind. I had only recently bought it, so I was really worried that I might lose it. I was so relieved and grateful to receive it back. Thank you so, so much! ❤

We were extremely happy with our experience and will definitely be coming back again! Thank you for the wonderful food and hospitality! 😊“

“awesome place for date or any occasions“

“A very nice Korean and Japanese restaurant alongside broadway Ave! They have Korean side dishes if you order from the Korean side of the menu such as kimchi and fish and others. On the Japanese side, there’s an extensive sushi menu and ramen too. I loved their 49ers roll with the crab and tempura inside and tuna outside. The Korean short ribs were nice too on the hot plate but stuck sometimes and the bones were a bit difficult to get off the bone. All with really nice service and getting water pretty often!“

“Yummy 😋, great experience“
