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.“

“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 😊“

“You know this place is good when you see all the ahjummas queued up LOL. Honestly some of the best bibimnaengmyeon I have had in the US. Also the banchan was insaneeeeely good and free refills. One thing though is that the meat was good but for the 3 person combo the portion size is pretty small. But I would definitely come back! Get here early so you don’t wait in line.“

“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+++++“

“I first came here with a friend and loved the food so much that I came back today with my husband. Once again, everything was delicious! 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!“

“The quality of the meat here is seriously amazing 🥩
I highly recommend ordering the beef combo platter! The beef short ribs and Ribeye were both incredibly delicious — juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The beef tongue is also a must-order, sliced to the perfect thickness with a great texture after grilling✨

The steamed egg and cheesy corn that come with the combo were surprisingly good too, definitely not just side dishes 🌽🧀

What made the experience even better was that the staff grilled everything for us the whole time, so we could just relax and enjoy the meal. Overall, such a great dining experience 👍🏻“

“I love the Korean build-your-own bowl concept, similar to Chipotle's style! The variety of ingredients and flavors offered is impressive, and the quality of the food is top notch. I was bummed they change their meats but it taste even more delicious. Their pork belly is really good. The portion was generous, and the price is reasonable. It's a great option for a quick, delicious, and healthy meal. Can't wait to go back and try new combinations. The service is the best!“

“Awesome“

“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.“

“A fantastic spot with a great atmosphere—perfect for all kinds of gatherings. There is a huge selection of drinks and a wide variety of food options. The service is excellent, even when it’s bustling. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“

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

“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.“

“I tried 3, the spicy eel, butter garlic crab and spicy tuna. The crab was a little disappointing, I dont know why I was expecting real crab but I obvious went in not doing a lot of research. Imitation crab, not favorite, didnt think it was worth the $. The spicy tuna was the best one! Its actually spicy, I would come back for it. This is also the first time I've been here since theres never any parking. Small lot, its probably my least favorite thing about the place. Other than that, not bad!“

“I've been a regular for years, I used to drive all the way to Garden Grove just for their jokbal. I’m so thrilled they finally opened a branch nearby! The taste is so authentic and delicious that I’d crave it even if I were back in Korea“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“This restaurant was a really good one! The service here was very friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was lively and extremely clean! I felt like my food had room to improve, but overall it was a delightful experience. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area wanting Korean food.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“Traditional Korean food at its best. They have a great variety of dishes, and I liked that the food wasn’t overly salty. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The service was fast and attentive, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The meat dishes were excellent, and the cold noodles were clean, refreshing, and full of flavor. I’ve tried many Korean restaurants, and this is definitely one of the better ones. I will be coming back again.“

“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!“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“

“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!“

“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.“

“A hidden gem in a Korean market in Fullerton. They serve up fresh poke salads, Korean rice bowls and sushi for pretty cheap! I think nothing was over $15 and everything came with a mini udon. Got the crunchy poke salad which was so vibrant and colorful. Super fresh ingredients. The salmon and tuna was soooo tasty. Also tried the spicy pork bulgogi cupbap which I could probably eat daily and never tire of it. Also got the Hawaiian shrimp roll which my kid loved.

Highly recommend a visit!“

“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.“

“Tang was exactly what we were craving after a night out. The portions were generous, and the side dishes complemented the meal well. Since the soups already include rice noodles, I skipped out on the extra rice.

We ordered the soondae guk and the galbi tang. The galbi was rich and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the soondae (blood sausage). The texture was different, filled with a mixture of pork blood and noodles.

Overall, it was a great dining experience and a perfect choice for a morning comfort meal. Definitely a spot worth returning to.“

“Delicious korean bbq with great service!! Although some of the staff aren’t the most talkative, they still got the job done and provided us with everything we needed. For this kbbq, the staff cooks the meat for you, so if you’re worried about cooking your own meat, there is no need to. There was a constant flow of customers as well, and the staff did a great job with keeping that flow efficient.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“I come here almost every Friday for my lunch and the manager Miguel & Betty the cook are very nice, welcoming and kind. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Great portions, quick service, and clean. Highly recommend. 👍“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“The food was incredible. There’s a touch of homemade love to it. I appreciated the attentiveness of the servers gamsahabneda. A beloved mentor friend had treated me here and I never ever want to forget this place because of the good company and the tang that just hit the spot! The place is like a warm hug. The variety of banchan is also breathtaking and well worthwhile.
Thank you all so much and God bless you all+“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“
