8 Best Korean Restaurants near Pasadena

“Teri & Yaki is such a hidden gem! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The teriyaki chicken was tender with the perfect balance of sweet and savory sauce, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better.“

“I've tried many different Kbbq's, mostly in OC and IE, and I gotta say this one here hit the spot! The meat was delicious, but what got me even writing a review was their spicy cucumber. Amazing! The best that I ever had! Can't stop thinking about it so much that it draws me to go back again for more. The service was incredible. She was super helpful and informative as well. Let us know they make everything there and don't buy by bulk (like the spicy cucumber). Definitely going back!“

“Great place for Korean BBQ“

“This is a super tasty dessert featuring a generous serving of fluffy, finely shaved ice that melts delightfully in your mouth. I love how the light, airy texture complements the sweet, flavorful syrup drizzled on top, making it incredibly refreshing and satisfying. I highly recommend trying this treat for an enjoyable cooling experience.“

“Tasty food. I ordered the angus beef bowl. Not fatty or chewy. Goin back soon“

“I came here on a packed Sat night. The place was dim and spacious. I loved the setup; ordering on the electronic pad reminded me of Korea!
I tried the chicken gizzards with soju. The gizzards were so good! I loved how they were prepared. The service was good, too.“

“Under new ownership and already such a difference. I stopped by last night and had a FANTASTIC meal. I ordered the snapper and catfish meal with two sides. The fish was tender and perfectly seasoned and the colored greens and string beans were amazing. Perfectly seasoned and nice and hot. They give you two sauces and two slices of bread as well if you want to make a sandwich. It’s inexpensive and the customer service was excellent. I can tell lots of love has already gone into this place and will as the new owners settle in. Looking forward to stopping here regularly!“

“I like this place for simple chicken salad. It has romaine lettuce pieces, shredded white chicken (no dark meat), and fried wonton, with sesame seeds and almond pieces (no peanuts!!) They also serve teriyaki chicken, which I had the last time and that had great flavor as well. 5 stars🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for delicious simple salad and great service!!

Fyi: parking is at the back of the restaurant, use the back entrance, off from Locust Street, although the front door is open from Lake Ave, there is no parking on Lake Ave!!“
