50 Best Korean Restaurants near Pomona

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“

“This is truly a secret gem in the city. I'd recommend anyone from Pomona or anyone passing through to try this place at least once. Food is great the people are nice the vibe excellent. I love how they decorated the inside to give a unique authentic feel. My favorite go to dish here is the spicy seafood Ramen, the sushi are great as well. 😄👍“

“It is a nice eatery, located in downtown area of Pomona! I have been here several times. The meals were fairly priced. Furthermore, they were delicious. I really enjoyed those meals, while being a patron of this establishment. Also, these meals are quite healthy, and it is a good alternative to fast food. The place, when I visited, was quite clean. So definitely, if anyone visits downtown area of Pomona, I would recommend a visit to this eatery!“

“Located right next to Cal Poly college, Jinza Teriyaki is a great spot to eat after classes, my all time favorite is the Loco Moco bowl. The people are incredibly nice and especially early the place is a nice quite area to eat in. My only wish is that they would open earlier as someone who's out n about by 7am, but I understand not wanting to open at the crack of dawn.“

“I drove all the way from LA for this AND IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT!!! the nice family working there was having dinner together and it was cute. They helped me save money by suggesting a combo instead. There arent any seats or public restrooms but the chickens so good i couldnt even be upset. Im happily eating this in my car right now“

“I ordered from for the first time today and I must say that it was the greatest decision I made today! I ordered their Katsu sandwich and fries and it was delicious!

The bread was soft, the Katsu was crispy and full of flavor and most of all the coleslaw on the middle was sweet and tasty! The fries were the perfect side to it, they were cooked just right and they complimented the sandwich so well.

They also have a variety of drinks that can cater to everyone's tastes. Even though it ordered a coke today next time I will try the tea.

Hungry Bulldog House you have got yourself another customer that will be returning hungry for more on a different day!“

“The best korean BBQ i've tried ever ! The meat is perfect and not too much fat, the ambience is catchy, the service is 5⭐️! Very fast to bring the meat, change the grill plate and to refill the side dish either! How lovely this place, i hope they can open at lunch... for sure i will recommend this place and be back asap!“

“Our Boss buys lunch for our monthly goal met. And this month he had the opportunity to try Soonheene. Highly recommend their Rice water is tasty and perfect sweetness. Like a verson of Horchata without the dairy. Thier chicken was super crispy as it should be n very flavored. Will definitely come with Family“

“I came here since I saw on their menu that they sell cheonggukjang ($15.99) and not alot of restaurants sell it since it has a strong fermented smell and taste, similar to natto according to the lady. I saw a video of a Korean vlogger eating it in a restaurant and I was curious. I had asked the lady for one and she strongly recommended me to get something more basic since I'm not Korean and the smell can be off-putting. I never grew up with this stew but I was willing to try. It got to the point another lady came out of the kitchen to see me eat the stew.

The wait time was not long, the lady gave me several banchans like kimchi, bean sprouts kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fishcakes, stir-fried potatoes, braised tofu, and purple rice. The stew came out piping hot, it was filled with chopped tofu, onions, and zucchini; super thick and chunky. It did have a strong smell and taste but it didn't bother me as I expected.

Place gives off old-school vibes, lots of older Korean people dining inside. The lady was nice, she was trying very hard to explain the stew to me. The parking lot can get packed, I went during the weekday so it was easier to find parking.“

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

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

“This side dish shop is the best I've ever been to. It tastes more Korean than Korea, and the quality of the kimbap in particular is sky-high. Keto kimbap without rice is new and healthy. This place has become a place I must visit every time I pass by.“

“This is a soondubu (spicy silky soft tofu soup) restaurant like BCD chain. You can order combo menu with a meat or fish entree with a version of soondubu soup. You can select the spicy level and toppings for the soup. I thought the soup is really good but the meat dishes except for the LA rib were too sweet. Ban Chan (side dishes) were just average. For Diamond Bar I think this outlet is fine. There is plenty of parking in the shopping mall lot.

Parking: Plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor with wheelchair ramp.“

“Moved from Pomona to Vegas and I miss this place... I'm having a hard time finding another place that rivals it. Everything I've ever ordered is amazing. Their soy garlic wings, full fried chicken, bossam, fire chicken, Korean army stew, the sojuritas... Will be coming back whenever I visit home.“

“Love it yummy food 🥘 good place to relax too 🍰💕“

“This is the place we went to have a quick bite when we moved to Diamond Bar 8 years ago and then we found so many other places to eat and almost forgot this restaurant. Recently we visited this place again, the menu is same except price a little higher. The quality of food are same but now they gave you disposable chopsticks instead of re-usable ones in the past. Other than that, not much change, always busy but the waiting time is tolerable. I like this beef BBQ rib combo with seafood tofu soup and they are good. They don’t have steak knife but so provide a pair of scissors and a small pair of tongs so that you don’t have to eat BBQ beef with just chopsticks.“

“ATOYUBU Diamond Bar is my new favorite spot! The yubu pockets are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made every bite tastes amazing. The spicy tuna and bulgogi were standouts, and the presentation is top-notch. Staff are friendly, the space is clean and modern, and everything feels high quality. Perfect for a quick meal or takeout. Highly recommend!“

“I recently dined at Sun Nong Dan on a Sunday for lunch. Although it was quite busy, there was no wait time at 1:30! The koh galbi jjim with cheese was absolutely delicious - savory and flavorful. We had a large group and were worried about the serving size not being enough, but ended up having way more than enough food, which is definitely a good problem to have. Our server, YH, was super attentive and helped us navigate the menu, making the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend Sun Nong Dan for great food and service!“

“We have cravings for Korean food, but not the typical Korean BBQ. So we checked out Hanshin Pocha for the first time. Very down to earth setting. In the middle there's a big article and picture of the famous Korean chef (Chef Jong Won Paik) who also founded this chain of restaurants.

We told the server this is our first time so he was very helpful to explain the tradition and the type of food and what are their specialties.

We listened and ordered the whole fried chicken, the whole octopus, and the chicken feet stew!

We had such a good time! The food were exceptional! So tasty and fresh! You really have to try this place out and get the chicken!

Parking was very tigh as there are so many businesses and restaurants in this complex.“

“My wife and I share a meal, the hot stone bibimbap and tofu soup is our goto. The food is delicious. There are many popular dishes we see people eating. There is typically a wait at dinner time. Lunch is a little less crowded but busy too“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and every bite was packed with flavor. The ambience was warm and welcoming.

The staff were super attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed.

This restaurant is a must-visit if you crave Korean food!“

“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.“

“✨Who knew that seaweed rice balls would be the star of the meal?✨ You can expect every table to order that @yupddukdiamondbar amongst the many incredibly comforting dishes here🫶🏼

First time trying Korean comfort food or don’t know what to get? Order this lineup and thank me later:

🥚Omelette Rice
🐷Pork Cutlet
🍗Chicken feet
🍙Seaweed Rice ball
🍲Beef bulgogi stew“

“Best duck in the Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills area. We always order duck served 3 ways - soup, sliced peking duck with thin wrap and green onions, and deep fried duck bones. While you’re there get some of the crispy pork belly too .“

“Yuk Dae Jang never disappoints. This was probably my 7th or 8th visit and the food and service continue to be excellent.

Tonight my fiancée and I ordered a small bossam and the yuk dae jang ramyun. Both dishes were flavorful, well balanced, and paired really nicely together. We also enjoyed the free refill side dishes. I went for the fish cakes while she loved the kimchi. A bowl of purple rice rounded things out perfectly, especially with the leftover ramyun broth.

Big plus, they finally serve alcohol now. The ambiance was comfortable and even though it got busier toward the end of our meal, it never felt overwhelmingly loud. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish.

Highly recommend this spot if you are craving solid Korean comfort food in Rowland Heights.“

“Almost identical to Young Dong Tofu. A lot more variety with side dishes. Pork cutlet was huge for $20. Everything was tasty and service was excellent. Not sure if tofu soups normally come with egg. Ours didn’t. Definitely go here if you want to avoid waiting at Young Dong Tofu. They also have jajangmyeon 14.99 (didn’t try not on menu but posted inside on the walls)“

“Great addition to the food court! I'd been to other two hands and was worried it wouldn't be as good here since it's a food court location but it was very good. Service was unenthusiastic at best but the food was great, their potato dog is very enjoyable and the sauce is one of my favorite condiments. Will definitely be coming back 💪.“

“I really love eating at this store because when you dine in, you can have as much sauce as you want. And I love their sauces. I saw someone review for being stingy with their sauce. I didn't understand it. But I was thinking may be it was for "to go". I never order had "to go" here so I don't know. But for dine in, I come here all the time and it is great.“

“Second time eating here when I stop by the super H Mart. Food always comes out fresh and tasty. Only positive things to say about this establishment. Steam buns and dumplings are my go to choice. Definitely be back again to try other dishes.“

“The Flame Broiler is a simple fast-food chain in Rancho Cucamonga. They prepare and serve Korean-style meat and rice bowls with no dairy, trans-fat or frying. Their bowls are always fresh and consistently good. Customer Service is always quick, staff is nice and friendly. This place is always clean and well-decorated. You will get 20% off your next order (except catering) if you check in to The Flame Broiler on Yelp.“

“It’s a really cute and homey atmosphere. Imma take my friends here someday. They got a few good ramens and they got vegan options as well. They got good dessert options too. Some steamed custard buns that look like little piggies. Come give it a try and give them some business.“

“Delicious soups and recommend here hot pot“

“If anyone likes noodles, try Kalgooksu jungle. They only serve for lunch and it's for two people. It's cooked on the table. Lot's of mushrooms and veggie. The stew tastes very pure. Once you're done with noodles, the server will make porridge using the remainder of the stew. No words can describe it. Simply try!“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“Love Letter Chicken is amazing! I’ve loved it since I was a kid!
Having Korean yangnyeom fried chicken in the U.S. is something I’m honestly grateful for — it’s like a SoCal pride thing for me! 😄
And hey… if you haven’t tried it yet, my bad~ 🤣“

“Always one of our favorite places to eat, all the staff are great and the owner/chef Jay is always willing to customize our food preferences and knows exactly how we like it.“

“We had Gamjatang and the seafood pancake, and the pancake was so good with a lot of actual seafood, and the gamjatang soup was just amazing! The flavor of the soup didn't feel artificial or sharp, and instead had a very deep but smooth flavor that I appreciated a ton. Me and my wife easily finished the meat in the gamjatang, and brought the soup back home to make fried rice and that also tasted amazing! Will be back again for more“

“Good comfort food. The stone pot was delish and came out so so hot. It was still steaming at the end of the meal. I had a lot of leftover and the side dishes were fresh and tasted good.The two ladies were patient with me on all my questions about the menu and the sauces. I was expecting them to be mean since so many reviews said they were but they were really nice and I came within the hour of closing and didn't feel rushed.I ordered the stone pot galli and the galbi combo. Both were good and the meat was not over cooked. Total for both dishes came out to almost $80“

“very good food with good price. The service is also good“

“Shhh…hidden gem! This ayce kbbq restaurant is outstanding! I’ve been to many kbbq places over the years and Seoul BBQ is top notch. Everything came out quickly, including the fried potstickers, water refills, meat refills, and grill changes. It was a laid back atmosphere, not a bunch of announcements or loud music. It had a good vibe for talking and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed several rounds of meats from the A and B menus, multiple grill changes, some peach flavored rice wine, and a fun time with friends and family. The beef bulgogi and beef brisket were excellent; everyone else in the group also enjoyed several other cuts of meat including garlic pork belly, flying tiger beef, short rib, beef belly, and others. The parking lot was a bit rough so beware. Everyone that went into the restaurant seemed well dressed and happy to be there.

Parking: There is currently some barricaded construction which has blocked some of the parking spots (Dec 2024), making it difficult to find parking. There was also broken glass in one of the stalls which raised concern about cars being broken into recently. Turn on your car’s camera if you’ve got one.“

“Mixed bag. The fried pork (탕수육) was really good and came in a generous portion. But the jjajangmyeon (짜장면)—despite being pricier than other places—was no better, maybe even worse.

I would recommend this place for family event or meeting after golf or something“

“This is my favorite Korean restaurant!“

“Gui Gui is a hidden gem in the SGV!

The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and the meat is goooood.

We got menu A which includes Premium cuts of meat and they did not disappoint. The soy marinated rib was my favorite! Other cuts that we loved were the brisket, marinated LA beef rib, and the rib eye.

They have a bar with cuts of pork, bulgogi, and hot foods.

Their lunch special is $22.99 and that's a steal! Definitely coming back again.“

“This is our go to place for Korean food. Love the Kpop vibe, service are friendly, their food is amazing, specially love their crispy Seafood pancake, kimchi pork belly, rose spicy pasta, fried chicken.... basically everything is delicious!!! Highly recommend“

“Have visited location numerous times picking up customer ordersOn the Northeast corner of Mountain Avenue and Eighth Street in UplandIn the Upland Village Shopping MallBusy locationCleanPleasant staffHaven't tried any of their menu items so I'm unable to give any recommendationsHowever, I may return on personal time someday

Parking: There is plenty of free parking in the shopping mallHowever, it can be a challenge to find parking at times since there is a Dollar Tree and Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in the mall“

“Came here after a round of golf. The owner was very nice and welcoming. She answered all my questions well. I got the garlic noodles and wings and added a drink and fries.

The garlic noodles and wings were great. I really enjoyed the flavor of both. The garlic noodles had plenty of garlic. I got it spicy and enjoyed the type of spice that it came with. The wings were well seasoned and very large. After frequenting Wingstop, their quality had drastically dropped in quality and size. I found it nice that the wings here were fantastic. I ordered the Soy Garlic and the Korean Spicy. The fries were also great. They had a great crunch to them and taste.

Overall, I enjoyed all of the food, but enjoyed the spicy garlic noodles even more so. I noticed that they also had a ramen setup with different korean ramens. The owner also recommended the dirty fries that comes with different types of fixings. I'll definitely come back to try those the next time.

You can park inside the parking structure and walk over conveniently.“

“Very good!! 🤗 and excellent service!! 🤤“

“The Kobe stakes is so testy . Assassins was as“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“This was a really great place, with the food being aweome for a few reasons:
1. The employees and owner were super cordial and very professional.
2. The food was very excellent; with the powered cheese fries being so creative, and I couldn't get over them. Its like powered popcorn, but potato fires, super weird, super creative. I loved it. The chicken was also very awesom, I recommend the secret sauce.
3. The place was clean, had cool shows and music broadcasting with aesthetics that fit for this establishment.
Overall, This place is a Must Be when passing by. You will not be disappointed.

By the way, not sure why some people are giving this place low star's; I've grown up in bad, to good area's, so I know a thing or two, and know that this must be down bad people with a bit of money, or bad attitudes, and just want a free meal or hate on people doing good. You still keep rocking BBQ Chicken. Cheers!“
