Korean Restaurants near Placentia

“I had a good experience here. The food was fresh, the portions were solid, and everything tasted clean and simple, which I really liked. The service was quick and the staff were polite, so the whole visit was easy and smooth. The place is casual and convenient for a quick meal. Overall I enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.“

“What is surprisingly fun place. First time, we've been to a make your own ramen place. The worker was so friendly in helping us pick out the noodles we wanted, how to heat it and the toppings and everything. They had a great variety of different types of ramen.

What a very novel idea and all around fun, place to go.“

“Health eating option with friendly service.

The food is what you would expect from any Flame Broiler. Served just at the right temperature. Didn't have to wait too long. Cooked fresh.

This is one of the largest Flame Broilers I have been too. Plenty of seating indoor illuminated with plenty of natural light. Bathrooms were clean. However during our visit there was somewhat of an interesting odor that didn't really belong in a dining area. The dining area could benefit from ventilation.

Service was friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking.

Parking: Plenty of parking. Conveniently located right off Orangethorpe.

Kid-friendliness: Kids will like the food options.“

“So sad to go back to Dallas where there is NOTHING that compares to the quality of food & service at Mo Ran Gak. This was the best meal, truly. Authentic, high quality, delicious, generous portions, attentive and kind service - I could not have been happier with my experience here! I cannot wait to come back.“

“I can’t believe I just found out about this place! The fact that you can make your own teokbbokki is crazy & all the toppings/sauces/everything is so good!!
I also LOVE their fried soondae & their mini bungeopang is so cute/good!
Cannot recommend it enough!
Service is also excellent 😊“

“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+++++“

The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the food was amazing. We had a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We had a great experience at Yangmani KBBQ! The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of high-quality meats and plenty of options to choose from.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and our server, Alex, was especially attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Alex’s great service really made the experience even more enjoyable.

We highly recommend Yangmani KBBQ to anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ, great selection, and outstanding service. One of my favourite spots for KBBQ.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“One of the best inari sushi spots I've tried! Everything tasted amazing, the portions were generous, and the prices were hard to beat. The staff made us feel so welcome with their friendly service. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“Great meat and Gukbap selection. Staff are friendly and kind. A well run family business. I highly recommend it. If one is not Korean and want to experience Korean traditional cuisine without going to Korea this is the place. Come and try why I’m raving over this restaurant!!!“

“I was in the area and had missed my lunch so I decided to give it a try.
I got a build your own mini bowl with Beef and Dalcom (spicy&sweet) sauce. As a Korean, I knew this place was going to be good because they use actual kimchi and Korean gochujang sauce. But they also have other toppings and sauces.

The mini bowl felt like Regular size bowl. I am full and satisfied~“

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

“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.“

“Had a great experience at Eighty Eight Q! The food was really good, but the service from Hermione was what really stood out.

She was super attentive and somehow always knew when we needed more meat, sides, or dessert. She would check in at just the right time without us having to flag her down or ask. It made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.

You can tell she really pays attention to her customers and takes pride in her service. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve had at a Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Tried the Curry Katsu Cup and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. Price was beyond reasonable and portions were generous. I also met the owner who was extremely nice and he recommended other dishes for next time. Will definitely come back.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“love this place! i’ve been here a few times and the food never disappoints. the prices are very reasonable as well. i’ve had the curry udon, sausage udon stir fry, korean corn dog and kimchi fried rice in the past and they all were very delicious. the family who runs the restaurant are very nice and the restaurant is decorated with lots of bulldog decor.“

“This is THE spot for gamja tang in the OC. The soup base here is spot on. It's just so savory and smooth and flavorful. The steamed pork cabbage wraps are to die for. And our family's favorite dish is their potatoe pancakes! It's one off the most delicious thing you'll ever eat! I love that the had Sunkist grape soda today, which was the cherry on top!“

“We got tangsuyook and jjajangmyun. To be honest, I didn't expect too much of tangsuyook, but from my first bite, it was really really good. I would definitely go back for that. Jjajang wasnt impressive, not too bad. I just couldn't eat spicy food that day so couldnt try jjampong.
The lady working in the front is very pleasant, and she went around passing around aprons to people wearing light colored clothes!“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“The quality of food and service at this place is amazing! Definitely a hidden gem but I’m glad I found it and have been back multiple times! Mrs. Sunhwa, always greets me with a smile and prepares everything so well! Can’t wait for the next time I’m in the area for another awesome bowl! 😋“

“Honestly surprised this place isn't rated higher! Came at like 6:30 pm seated right away, menu is very straightforward. The quality of the meat is phenomenal and they cook it for you. The kimchis and pickled vegetable array is unreal I literally would eat here over and over again. It's a very straightforward experience but 5/5 stars!“

“This is #1 Korean Food restaruant in LA hands down, it is the only restaurant I have seen that gives MORE food than the photos.

Pork Belly wrap is so authentic in taste I thought I was in Korea, and you can tell every item is super delicious. Plus it was big enough for 2- 3 people👏

I plan to try every single item this place offers.“

“Not only the gomtang (beef bone soup) but all the other dishes here are delicious, too. We ordered the budae-jjigae (army base stew); the portion was generous, and it tasted great.
And the server was so friendly. We had an even better time thanks to the server who took care of us.“

“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“

“Best best best Korean bbq in Fullerton Brea placentia Yorba linda area. After da Rae went out of business I had to find a new favorite spot. I love the Galbi. The cold noodle soup is top ranked number 1. And the bibimbap hot pot is great too.“

“My kids and I had dinner at Kyung Bok Kung Korean BBQ in Buena Park tonight. Needless to say, the quality of the meat and the food were outstanding.

What truly made our evening special, however, was the exceptional service we received from our server, Ben. He was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our meal.

I wanted to leave this review to thank Ben once again for helping make our family dinner such an enjoyable and memorable experience. We truly appreciate his excellent service and look forward to coming back!“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“

“Drove 1 & half hours to eat here & I highly recommend you make the drive too!!

It's delicious
Pictures do it no justice.
Service was excellent.
And the vibes were just right. Small family owned & ran business Roxy was great Chef is awesome.

Stop by & thank me later!“

“My boyfriend and I came here today because we kept seeing TikTok creators recommend this place, and we wanted to try it for ourselves before believing the hype. We are so glad we did!

The food was absolutely delicious—every dish we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. We were both genuinely surprised and impressed by how tasty everything was.

The service was also outstanding. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made our experience even better.

If you’re thinking about trying this place, definitely give it a chance. We will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

❤ Thank you for the amazing food and great service!“

“Nice and cozy place to grab a bite to eat. Service was easy and helpful, and I enjoyed my experience here. Even though their food is not necessarily something I would go out of my way to get, it tasted pretty good. The menu was a little vague, and some of the options seemed a little pricey, and perhaps we could've ended up getting better dishes. The restaurant itself smells pretty good once you walk in, and while the food tastes pretty good too, its taste doesn't seem to be on a par with its aroma. In other words, the smell is deceiving; make sure you know what you are ordering. The sides were pretty good and substantial. Beware: the Dawa Chicken tastes very sweet. Might recommend this place to another person, and might come back if I'm in the close area.

P.S. Public Restrooms are available.“

“The lunch special caught my eye as I was walking by. Walked in was greeted so warmly. Kiki attended me and she was great and provided the best hospitality. It’s family owned, so I’m glad I was able to help support their business!!!“

“I was really hyped about this place opening to add to the variety of Korean food around Chino Hills. Soonheene is very popular in South Korea which led me to add this place to my must try list of restaurants, they're known for their amazing street food and it didn't disappoint at all.

Staff were incredibly quick, attentive, and were very friendly in all aspects. Parking is plentiful, clean restroom, and a moderate amount of seating inside the restaurant. The interior is well maintained and just has good vibes when entering, there's also a TV on the wall that plays many variety shows to express just how popular this place is in South Korea.

1. We ordered their signature Tteokbokki and it comes in a decent amount of portions, a great shareable dish and very flavorful when it comes to the mix of sauce, rice cake, and fish cake. There's also a rose version which I also recommend. The Tteokbokki were savory and also not hard to crunch on, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable and addicting.

2. Another must try item is the Mayak Gimbap, comes in 8 pieces, another shareable dish. It's also very well made, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a decent appetizer to the main course.

3. The Oden Fish Cake Soup is also a classic street food signature dish to try. Highly recommend if you're a fan of fish cake, comes in a stick form which is a easy pick-me-up type food. Not too salty and is flavorful as well.

4. The Roasted Kimchi Pork Belly was the main dish we had as a shareable. I cannot fathom how well made this dish is made. The pork belly is super savory, chewy, and flavorful, mixes well with all the side garnishes and sauces.
Overall, Soonheene is definitely a good place for many occasions, dates, take out, and moderate size groups.

Decent prices for amazing quality food. They will always be my go to spot for amazing South Korean street food.“

“I love this place! Its low-key, it's clean and the lady that opens is just absolutely amazing! Been here a few times already. My goto is The Mul Naengmyun (Korean cold noodle with icey beef broth) . Absolutely delicious! The banchan varieties are tasty and they always as k to refill you up.. All the soups (hot) are very flavorful, hearty, and tasty!!!!!! Highly recommend. Fullerton location by amerige heights is very delicious too!!here is my preference though😀“

“Tried this place for the first time today and the quality is unreal! I got the ear, tongue, and stomach pork soup. Broth was silky and so much flavor, which can only comes from hours of cooking. All the side dishes compliment the soup really well too especially the salted shrimp! The service was incredibly nice, fast and welcoming. 10/10 definitely coming back soon“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“The food was great. We asked for a lot of salad refills. Our server Madison was very friendly. Chicken was great. It's all baked. I love Korean chicken. Every time I come back to Buena Park, I always come here. Best chicken in town. Gobble chicken forever!“

“I recently visited Ma’s Banchan and was honestly impressed. The banchan tasted just like homemade food—fresh, balanced, and not overly salty. You can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. The portions were generous for the price, and the staff was very friendly. It reminded me of the side dishes my mom makes at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“i like the food, big serving & it’s worth the price, i hope they willnot increase the price or lessen the service.“

“Love this restaurant. The food is very delicious. Their radish and kimchi is very seasoned and delicious. I love their beef gogi sulungtang and the intestine sukmgeh sulungtang. Everything is probably good om the menu but I only tried these 2. They habe been around for many yea so I trust them. Its perfect when ur sick!! The soup warms ur body and nourishes u!!“

“The food and the service are all very good! The server was very nice to us and our dog, oh yes they are super pet friendly restaurant.

The food not only taste are good also the potion are very big. It’s better to have 3-4 ppl to dine with!“

“Everything was just SO good. The food came out so fast too. The portions are HUGE so be sure to order less than the headcount. They are famous for the pork ribs sour kimchi stew so be sure to try it. The summer fish are came with 3 crickets and it was cooked to perfection and not too salty. This place is must try.
The servers used to be rude, but I didn’t notice it anymore“

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

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“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.“

“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.“
