50 Best Korean Restaurants near Placentia

“Wow ! This is my regular stop for Flame Broiler they are always solid. But tonight they went above and beyond. I pulled up at 7:58 thinking they were open until 9pm. There was a sign posted with then new hours showing a closing time of 8pm, so I figured they would be shutting down for the night . But checked the door anyways and told yes no problem I could Still place my order. I was stoked , i had my mind set on flame broiler and they came through big time. Big shout out to Angel for being super helpful and willing to stay open past closing time .“

“Mulnaengmyeon was much more delicious than nonnaengmyeon. I think it was closer to regular naengmyeon rather than Pyongyang naengmyeon. One order of naengmyeon (naengmyeon) costs almost $20, so I think it's a bit expensive, but since it comes with one sari, it's almost like 1.6 servings. The ribs were delicious, but the portion was surprisingly small. Even though it was a weekday evening, I waited for over an hour to get in. When you're feeling a bit hectic, there's a Yelp waiting line, so be sure to check it out and wait.“

“This restaurant was fantastic. I ordered the jjampong and it was genuinely one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The noodles were excellent and the broth was incredibly flavorful. The wait staff was very kind and helped by giving great recommendations. The Golbi beef was also very good.“

“Nice little gem we recently found. Place was clean & inviting and one of the cooks did a great job explaining the menu to us. We ordered the cheese Katsu meals and the portions are perfect! Really enjoyed the salad and dressing that topped it. Bowl of miso and rice were the perfect touch to complete the meal. Cheese katsu was amazing and the food was hot and fresh and the service was great. Definitely going to put this on our list of "places to return to"“

“I came to hungry bull dog restaurant in diamond bar and it was soo good. I ordered a few dishes like the k style corn dog with pepper jack cheese and sausage, katsu with side of curry, bulgogi beef bulldog bowl, and lastly.. the kimchi fried rice. It was so much food and I loved eating inside their cute restaurant.“

“My husband and I tried dolsot bibimbob and gamjatang, and they were excellent!!! Service was great and very friendly. Ambiance is good very clean and well laid out. We're so glad we came and will definitely return regularly and will bring friends!!“

“I ordered the Garlic Edamame, Double Crunchy Roll, and Mango Tango. Absolutely everything was delicious. It’s a nice little mom and pop restaurant that you cannot pass up. This was probably one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried in a while!“

“The food was amazing and presented with a good value. I was most impressed by The Galbi-jjim as well as the banchan with the dotori muk or acorn jelly noodle. Very fresh meat, good portions for sharing. I loved the bright lights, colors, and the giftshop.Dietary restrictions: Please note that some of the soups have shellfish in addition to the listed ingredients.Parking: The parking lot is completely free behind the gas station and there won't be no problems.Kid-friendliness: Sharing is not a problem the kids also can share from the combo grill plates. Plenty of non-alcoholic drinks are available to order.“

“Had an amazing night at Hanshin Pocha, exploring modern twists on Korean street food. The cheesy Mandu and spicy Tteokbokki were highlights, alongside the crispy Yangnyeom chicken. The Tomato Sauce Gyeran Mari, a fluffy omelette in tomato sauce, was a standout. Paired with cold beer and soju, it made for a memorable experience. Definitely a spot worth visiting for a fun and flavorful evening! Join me on IG @hotbuthungryasianguy for more delicious finds! Until next time, cheers!“

“This has got to be some of the best fried chicken wings I have tried! These oven baked wings beat out some of the best fried wings I've tasted. Their flavors pack a punch in a delicious way. I really enjoyed their volcano (decently spicy), soy garlic and sweet spicy. All of the flavors were pretty fantastic. I'd skip over the fries as they have an interesting after taste. Their baguette bowl is a sweet garlic cream cheese filled bread bowl. Overall, it is a fantastic new wings spot with a lot of good options. I'd definitely come back for more.“

“Amongst all the korean fried chicken places I've been to, this one was among the better ones. The seasoning was on point neither too salty or too sweet. The quality of the chicken itself was just regular, so that is probably what prevented this from being higher scored. As an additional note, because they use sugars in the sauces, it doesn't reheat as well as some other places.“

“Was heading to The Habit Burger for dinner when stumbled across this place and decided to try it out. We ordered the tikkudak garlic soy tenders, Cole slaw and corn cheese. Everything was so good. The wings still maintained some crisp despite the sauce, and the sauce wasn't too overpowering. The Cole slaw was one of the best I've ever had. Corn cheese had maybe onion or some sort of spice cooked along with it that gave it a unique flavor and some dimension. Will be coming back!“

“the korean food here was amazing all three items were delicious! one of the best boneless korean fried chicken ive had! the chicken was so juicy and flavorful and amazing with the rose sauce. breading is a little much but besides that chicken was good. not pictured was the kimchi fried rice but that was perfect too! it was busy since it was a late saturday night but we ended up getting seated outside and it was so fun! music and service was amazing and chris and dana were so nice! it was our first time but me and my friends will definitely be back! the photo booth was a great addition!“

“Happened to visit this new spot on our way back from Las Vegas. A group of friends (6 adults) ordered a mungbean pancake, kimchi mungbean pancake, kimbap, odeng soup, ramen teokbokki, and a pork belly stir. Overall this was a satisfying meal to end the weekend!“

“As per....always fuegs...the galbi w/cheese. Muah!!! Can't go wrong. Also had tteok (rice cakish?) , potatoes , carrots, onions and a few other things lol. For 3 ADULTS lol we were full!. Also banchan was fire. Kimchi is on point for us. 2 other ones as well. Some kind of slightly spicy/sweet scallions and I think radish kimchi both were yum as well. We're definitely gonna get it hotter next time. We only got medium?!“

“On my way to Big Bear, we stopped by this restaurant. It's my first time having Korean BBQ and all I can say is that I am blown away!They give you side dishes that are delish, I really enjoyed this place and wish I lived closer to here!The service was outstanding even on a very busy night.“

“It's been 6 months since I came to America...I really wanted to eat soy sauce..Although it was recommended by many Koreans, I had never eaten it in Korea.It's on my tongue! I couldn't find the cold soybean paste.In the United States, you can't eat freshly made soy sauce.After becoming a fait accompliYongmunru arrived at the end of Susomun Gate without any expectations...Even though I visited at 1pm, it was crowded with people.It's just famous and the taste is so-so...?Half worried...half excitedOrdered [Ganjajang, Samseon Jjajang, Jjambbong, Kkanpung Shrimp, Green Onion Beef].As soon as I saw the amount of sauce and meat mixed into the soybean paste, my mouth watered!As I am from Gangsangdo, I was very disappointed that there were no eggs in the soy sauce.Other than that, it was a Chinese restaurant with a fantastic combination of sauce, vegetables, and meat.From now on, that damn thing from Ganjjajang!If you miss the taste of cold sauce and noodlesI definitely plan to go and eat there...If there was just one thing that was disappointing...If the noodle is a little thinnerWouldn't it have been a bit awkward? Yongmunru, which I thought was...It would be difficult to find this quality soybean paste in LA.Thank you for existing at Yongmunru.The combination of fried shrimp and sauce is so bad.In the other world, Reveru...You can't find it often in KoreaGreen onion beef is a must-have menu item at Chinese restaurants in the United States...Did the incense of the fire really bring hellfire?Crazy green onion beef that won't stop you from chopping with chopsticksYongmunru is not only good at Jjajang.It's a restaurant with amazing sides.I appoint you as the Gatmunru of the LA Ganjjajang world.This concludes Jjajang Diary.“

“If you know you know! The food is good! My husband and I ordered two bowls. We got a beef bulgogi bowl and a chicken bulgogi bowl. You can choose a bunch of toppings to cover your side. (Choose one: white rice, brown rice, lettuce) You can put all the toppings or a few. I put all the toppings except cheese and sour cream. I chose medium hot sauce. You can have the sauce drizzled on top or ask for it on the side. There were two workers. They were very nice and welcoming. The place is small. It was easy to find parking. See pictures and check out the menu.“

“King Chang left an indelible mark with its exceptional service and culinary prowess. The dedication to customer satisfaction was evident from the moment we stepped in, even amidst the Saturday night rush. The servers went above and beyond, exhibiting attentiveness and kindness that elevated the entire dining experience. It's rare to find such a perfect balance of efficiency and warmth.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the large intestines, surpassing the small ones in both flavor and texture. The meticulous preparation showcased a culinary expertise that set King Chang apart. Each bite was a journey through rich and savory notes, leaving an undeniable impression. The smaller combo, designed for 2 to 3 people, proved to be ample, catering to varying appetites.The variety of Korean side dishes provided a delightful symphony of flavors, and the soybean paste stood out as a star among stars. Its depth of flavor added a distinctive touch to the meal. As a connoisseur of Korean cuisine, I can confidently say that King Chang serves the best intestines in town, a true gastronomic delight. I eagerly anticipate my return to savor more culinary treasures from their menu and to bask in the warmth of their impeccable service. King Chang is undoubtedly a gem in the realm of Korean dining, deserving of accolades for its outstanding offerings and commitment to culinary excellence.“

“1. The bibimbap and stew were comforting and filling! 2. The spot has casual-cozy vibes! 3. There are only indoor tables! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking lot is small, but street parking is available as well! Note: There are separate restrooms for men and women! Photo: Oyster Bibimbap, Gochujang Stew, Side Dishes“

“Came on a weekday night for dinner, walked in with no wait. There were two to three other parties in the restaurant through the night. We had the bossam and short rib soup and both were spectacular. I've had bossam before and wasn't impressed but having it here, I'd definitely recommend. The soup was perfect as well: 3 ribs in there, large chunks or radish, and the clear noodles in a perfectly seasoned broth. The bossam came with two sides of purple rice and fermented soybean soup as well. The purple rice is the most unique one I've had in all my years of eating a K-town as it comes with a plethora and variety of beans in it. A deviation from the norm but not bad at all. We were just a party of two so there was loads of leftovers available for the meal the next day. The portions here are typically Korean so meant for a party of four or more I'd say. I had originally bookmarked this place to try the raw marinated crab and am looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu... although that bossam will be so tempting to get again.“

“My favorite chicken place in OC! Perfectly fried every time to an absolute crisp on the outside but juicy on the inside. Loved everything I've tried here- even their new pork cutlet! It's inside of the Arirang market, but don't underestimate! It's so good~“

“4/18/2024 = 4 Star = this is my 2nd time here and we have the best server this time , just celebrate my son birthday and they love it , the big problem here are the parking lot , so hard to park, some people park across the street and very dangerous. The street are busy too, be careful when parking across the street . The rest are 5 star exept parking lot .“

“Great food. Great service. Parking lot present, not the biggest but there is street parking. There was a line, but I would say it was worth it :) they also provided gloves, soy sauce, wasabi packets and wipes !! Seating available but hard to grab when popular. Got the myungnam crab, salmon and bulgogi. Likes the crab best, then salmon. Then I would probably get something else instead of bulgogi but it was still good.“

“It was our first time eating at Love Letter and we enjoyed the food. We tried some items we haven’t seen before like bulgogi pizza and bulgogi fries, both were delicious and would definitely recommend.We also tried their corn cheese and extra crispy wings, I’ve always seen videos of people wrapping the wings in the corn cheese and the combination was real good.The staff was very nice and attentive and we enjoyed how all the TVs were playing KPop music videos.We will definitely be coming back here“

“Great dining experience. The interior is large, and clean. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Plenty of menu selection varying from typical Chinese menu offerings; veggies, seafood, chicken, beef, etc. Menu is very easy to read. Excellent spot for Chinese/Korean dine-in experience. Definitely recommend!“

“Great coming back to our new fave KBBQ spot. Prefer it much more than Gen. Love the “butcher style” vibes and how they cook for you. Great cuts of meat!!! Gio, Calvin, Devin were great hosts. Super consistent across diff locations. Highly recommend this place.“

“Fun pocha in OC! Haus is our go to spot for a night out. The wait time can be hit or miss. They have a lot of tables so its usually not too bad. Service is always great and food is decent. They have a lot of cute decorations and even a photo booth with props. The servers are super nice and and they even have a label maker to make personalized soju bottles (not sure if they still have this)!They give a little boat of popcorn as a snack when you sit down. Our favorites to order are the watermelon and friend squid legs. The watermelon is super refreshing and balances out the greasiness of the squid. Great choice for a night out!“

“The food was delicious. We ordered the knife cut noodle soup and the spicy pork sizzler. Both were super fresh and you could taste the high quality ingredients! The bonchon were perfect too. Service from Ken to top it all off was excellent. Definitely coming back :)“

“Finally came on the recommendation of a K-Town Cowboy Buddy and happy I made it out! Solid Kbbq non-AYCE option in Rowland/Eastern SGV. Went with a college buddy and family and ordered the premium combo with mega galbi! More than enough meat for a party of 4 adults and 4 young kids! Solid value and great quality.“

“I have NO problems with this place. The only issue is I eat so much until I'm literally like a stuffed sausage. ??? my favorite KBBQ place to go to. You won't be disappointed✌???????Parking: The place gets packed, get there when it opens. It fills fast. ✌???“

“I have been going here for as long as I remember. Korean style Chinese food usually doesn’t taste the same in the US compared to Korea, but this place tastes the same or even better. Our family enjoys the classic dishes which include Jjajangmyeon, Jjampong, and Tangsuyuk. I highly recommend eating here. You will not regret it.“

“Old place but I guess the ownership was changed 2 yrs ago.They serve very nice crispy donkatsu, not slim meat and serve Korean old fashioned cream soup.Not too long wait but Tasty Dinkatsu!Not too expensive but enough portion and nice sevice.“

“Small, clean, and well organized store. Sheer variety of items available Is impressive. Cannot overstate the quality of this selections. Value and pricing are very reasonable also. I just wish this place was closer to me. What a hidden gem. Local businesses like this deserve your business because they do it right. Such a great place for Korean takeout food. Please keep in mind that this is not a restaurant take away catering is more apt. Make rice at home and everything else you can get from great business“

“Finally made it here!! My husband and I went here for date night recently and we ordered the two kinds of meat, the creamy udon, and the cheese tonkatsu. We happen to come on a Friday night a little after they open and luckily it wasn't busy just yet. The service was really fast and the quality of the meat was amazing! The cheese tonkatsu was a bit heavier so by the time we finished grilling our meats and eating some of the udon, we were too full to finish the cheese tonkatsu. The creamy udon is a beef curry udon with a topped layer of this special cream that has this grainy texture similar to mashed potatoes. It was good to try, but I wouldn't get it again. I'll probably try the other noodles that they offer. I really enjoyed the concept of grilling the meat in front of you to your liking. It comes as a set so it was a perfect meal. Will be back with some friends!“

“Excellent service and great food! Had made a reservation for a large party, greeted us by name and tables were prepared with side dishes when we arrived. Waiter went above and beyond, was attentive and accommodating. Great quality food as well!“

“Actually really surprised at the quality of the food and how pleasant the service is. Definitely doesn't feel like a bar outside of the look and the music. Oddly enough, my kids love the whole Korean fried chicken and asked to eat it again lol. The bulgogi fries are fr fire though. We've also ordered the squid legs (which my kids love as well) and the seafood pasta which is a generous portion and pretty darn good.“

“There are several platters available. Beef and Pork. The plate for two includes so much food and is plenty for two as indicated. Refills of banchan are available. Their kimchi is a MUST. They offer cilantro which I don't see in most KBBQ spots and it surprisingly pairs well with the rest of the food. The staff grills your food and their menu indicates for patrons not to tip.“

“The food is good and I recommend to go here with friends cause the food portions are pretty big. They also serve ice cream after, and the waiters/waitresses are very kind. One thing to keep in mind is that you're not allowed to bring outside drinks/food. The interior has a rusty yet cozy feel to it, and they play K-pop music on speakers even though it isn't that audible. This place is still enjoyable though.“

“Came down to Walnut to visit my family...and we were wondering what to eat .. In n out ? Happy wok? Casa Alvarez? McDonald's ? No more Colima Burger :( So I looked on yelp and scrolled down till I came upon Country Chicken & Taco Frank was nice and explained the menu... I would say pre order is best because it takes about 15-20 minutes ... they're delicious , we got the buffalo , garlic sauce, tacos , mozzarella sticks , Fries .. my family loved it all. Fed 5-6 people. Would go again.“

“Dakgalbi, tteokbokki, and pork cutlet are delicious!I think I will use it often!Add rice and mix the chicken ribs at the end.If you eat it with seaweed powder and cheese,It's really delicious!Pork cutlet meat is soft and seasoned.It's so perfect... I really recommend it.It's better than Beach Yoko...The thickness of the meat is just right.Anyway, give it a try!“

“Walked in on a Saturday night - it wasn't too busy and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Choose 3 Combination (M), Kimchi Cold Noodle, and Beef Tartare. Service was fast and the staff were great! The Kimchi Cold Noodle was super refreshing and cuts the fattiness of the intestine. The beef tartare was also very fresh and a generous portion. There were only 2 of us so we had a lot of leftovers to take home haha. A solid gobchang spot!“

“I was yelping for KFC options and found this place by my house and decided to check it out. I placed a an order for 50 wings for a party and decided on soy garlic, kfc and snow cheese. I chose three but I believe they allow you to choose up to 5 flavors. It took about 15 minutes and the order was ready. Soy garlic and KFC are typical flavors that I normally see and have tried and they're pretty good here. I've never tried snow cheese and it didn't disappoint. It has a slightly sweet flavor and was my favorite. Overall tasty wings at good prices. I would definitely come back.“

“The servers r nice but the guy was meh. However the food is just so amazing it makes up for everything. The Banchan thick 10 day age samgyupsal and vibes are amazing!!! The line is super long so get there at a weird hour highly recommend!! Kimchi jjigae is so good and gogi melts in your mouth ?“

“Amazing flavor from the chicken and pork. Friendly service. Small parking lot. They had a news channel playing on a T.V.. Owner was super friendly and happy that I stopped by. Chicken was tender, and teriyaki sauce had a nice sweetness to it that cuts through the chicken and pork really well. Rice was cooked well. Green onion was crisp. If I'm in the area, I would stop by again.“

“Wagyu for such a low price seemed outrageous, though it is obvious it's not A5, it was so soft to chew on I wouldn't mind it for the quantity/ quality/price 10/10, staff are chill and fast paced, the place is normal on the inside great seating areas.“

“Great late night place during the week. It's open late. It has great wings. I love the salt & pepper wings that are covered in garlic and jalapeños. The pitchers are reasonable, too. They have sports on too, if you like. If it's your birthday, request the birthday song.“

“The best place to eat if you are craving ssam! It’s a bit pricey but so worth it. If you have a large party coming in def reserve because we waited like 30 mins. (worth it)The shop is a bit run down and small but it’s not hard to find parking.“

“BBQ Chicken in Rowland Heights is the best Korean fried chicken spot of all the franchises in the area! Their wings are so big, so juicy, and always served fresh out of the kitchen! I tried out this other chicken spot off Instagram that left me disappointed so I had to come here to properly fix my cravings. The cheesling fries are to die for! I also like how bb.q chicken has interesting flavors that other places don't offer such as their Gangnam style, Galbi, or secret sauce. Yes, their prices are a little higher than competitors but it's well worth it in my opinion. Come to bb.q Chicken Rowland Heights if you love chicken!20/25“
