50 Best Korean Restaurants near Pomona

“100% recommend! So good and a cute little place to eat at as well. Drinks are good and the donuts are unlike anything else I’ve ever had!!!“

“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.“

“Cute and cozy spot for some good sushi! The owners are kind as well. ^_^ I came here a couple years ago with my friend for dine in and we loved it. I decided to get some sushi togo and remembered this spot! I got sushi combo #2. It’s so good :) Definitely will come back. I included a pic of what I got and something I thought was cute in the restaurant hehe.“

“Authentically delicious Korean food with the BEST banchan around! Had the beef intestine soondoobu and croaker combination but I am sure everything on their menu is probably amazing. We will definitely be back and I am already thinking about what I’ll order next time 😋“

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

“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!“

“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 little small Korean wings spot surprise me. I got the Korean barbecue spicy wings with fries. And the wings came out super crispy and flavorful. The fries that look really mid surprise me as well with this spices which again was very flavorful. I was looking for a new wings location and this is by far the best I’ve been to in all of I.E. I highly recommend this place if you love Korean wings.“

“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 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 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!“

“We went here on Saturday for dinner for the first time and found the place to be very nice, cozy and food is very good. We ordered the Hand Pulled Dough Soup and the spicy squid with sides of rice noodles. Both were very tasty. I especially love the hand pulled dough soup. The soup is just right. Not salty, not spicy. I think it's one of the best soup we ever had.
The place is clean and service is very friendly. We just surprised this place is not all packed because the food is ready good.
Highly recommended this special Korean food restaurant and we marked this as one of our favorites.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The food is amazing, and I instantly get full after only having two. Even though it takes a bit long for the food to come, it is worth the wait. The atmosphere is kind of small with only a few tables, but they supply chairs for larger groups.“

“Went on a Monday night, ample seating no wait.

Got their bossam and a beef stew. Got the smallest bossam. These two dishes was enough for four adults. So ample portion size. Purple rice was also really tasty. Everything was pretty good, bossam especially. Would say the banchan were just ok tho.

Overall a solid place for some stews and bossam.“

“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 am not Korean but I love this restaurant. They serve true comfort food. The galbi tang is so tasty as well as the braised beef. Now that they started serving rice cake soup with dumpling, all of my Korean comfort food is in one place. Yay!“

“Such a great Korean restaurant in Chino Hills! Seoul Haus has a spacious, clean dining area and a huge parking lot, which makes it perfect for family dinners or group gatherings.

We tried several dishes and really enjoyed everything. The braised short ribs were tender, flavorful, and such a great value for the portion. I also loved the dried napa cabbage pork rib soup—the broth was rich and comforting without being too heavy. The spicy stir-fried baby octopus was tender and chewy with a delicious sweet and spicy sauce, and the sizzling beef was also very flavorful.

They also serve a nice variety of Korean side dishes, and you can ask for refills. The combo options are especially convenient if you want to try both a soup and a meat dish without ordering too much.

The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about the food, cleanliness, and overall dining experience.

Definitely a hidden gem for Korean food in Chino Hills. We’ll be back!“

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

“I was not expecting much just from looking at the place from the outside but I should know by now to not judge a book by it's cover. These Korean fusion pizzas were an incredibly delicious surprise. It is very spacious as we went with a pretty big party. This is definitely the new go to spot in this area. I can't wait to go back“

“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.“

“I was in Diamond Bar for work and was craving Korean BBQ, so I decided to check out SEOUL BBQ after seeing all the great reviews. Let me tell you… this place did NOT disappoint!
If you can make it for lunch, their $24.99 AYCE lunch special is one of the best deals around. The banchan came out first, and everything was fresh and delicious, but the glass noodles were my favorite. I could’ve eaten those all day!
Then the meat started rolling out… game over. The prime rib, beef belly, and brisket were all fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Add a little salt, throw it on the grill, and wowww… every bite was amazing.
We also ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and spicy tofu soup, and every side dish hit the spot. The service was quick, the staff kept checking on us, and they never let the grill get too crowded.
For $24.99, the quality and variety are hard to beat. If you’re looking for a solid AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Diamond Bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Soooo good… let’s go!“

“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)“

“The food was good. Not as great as the flame broiler on Milliken in Ontario. Service good. The cashier was friendly and he had great customer service skills. He was hardworking. Made sure our order was correct.

Bathroom was dirty. Tables needed to be wiped down.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing.
The service was on another level.
The vibes were immaculate.

First off, their menu is on definitely top notch. It's hefty, but they have an index in the back which shows all the pictures/descriptions of the food (amazing for any first timers). We ordered the dynamite steamed egg, kimchi cream pasta, cheese buldak chicken, and chicken gizzard stir fry. The steamed egg is definitely an upgrade from usual steamed eggs. It's super fluffy and is the perfect start to any meal. I've been craving some korean pasta recently and couldn't find a decent place. Yet, this place does it right. Although I wish there was a bit more, the cheese buldak is that silent creeper in terms of spice but super delicious (tip: ask for rice so that you can mix it with the leftover sauce). The chicken gizzard stir fry is that perfect balance between chewy and savory. Definitely a fan.

The service was amazing. The owner/servers are super attentive and accommodating beyond words. We were sitting near the door and people were smoking outside, so he ended up constantly closing the door and opening to let our dining experience not be negatively affected. Unmatched. They really care about their diners.

It's a smaller place, so during events (WC) and weekends, it can fill up rather quickly. So, make sure to plan accordingly. It's definitely worth it. It's located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items. A+++!“

“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 💪.“

“This is our first time here we enjoyed the flavors a lot the spicy pasta, the garlic chicken, the house chicken the garlic chicken was I think the best they’re crispy. Chicken was very good as well, but I must say the spicy pasta was the best. They do. serve a nice slaw with everything which gives you a nice texture change. They did make 2 mistakes they forgot our fried rice and gave us a whole chicken instead of wings, but got on it right away with some cheese balls.“

“I've never heard of Seng Bulgogi before but after seeing a few videos on it, I needed to try it. You have to order 2 orders of it, which I thought was a little off-putting as it was a little on the pricier side, HOWEVER the 2 portions combined was a lot. Lots of meat & veggies with that wonderful rich broth.

They even helped us out with cooking and it was really good. The meat tasted so fresh, the veggies balanced it out and the broth was just a stand out.

Tons of seating, and lots of older folks hanging out here and eating so you know its legit.

parking can be a hit or miss since its in a pretty big plaza with lots of other things attached.“

“food was good. so happy to find a Korean spot that's good around to SGV!“

“The buns here are stuff to the brim with filling with chives, glass noodles, wood ear mushrooms, and pork. Its a great quick meal to have after a long day because of how large the bun is. The frozen dumplings from here are also very generous in filling and are best boiled as soup or pan fried. The taste is meaty.“

“The food portion is large, even though each dish is $15+, but with the side dishes, soup, and rice they give you can definitely split it into two portions. The bimbibap wasnt too salty and the texture of the veggies were fresh. The broth is just beef broth...a little salty but its a nice hot side.“

“​When we pulled up, the parking lot was completely packed, which we took as a great sign for the food! Luckily, we found a spot nearby. Since there were only two of us, we got seated right away, but bigger groups definitely had a bit of a wait.
​The black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) were incredible, the noodles were so chewy and had the perfect texture. The sweet and sour pork was really good, too. Honestly, I’m just thrilled I don’t have to drive all the way to Koreantown for great Korean-Chinese food anymore! So happy to find a spot close by that completely hits the spot.“

“It’s a place I’d love to visit often, but since I live far away, I always stop by whenever I’m in the area. They make excellent stews the goat tripe hot pot is especially delicious. I’ve heard they make their sundae in-house as well. Truly a fantastic spot.“

“Chicken is very tasty. Fresh and flavorful and wings size are huge. Suggestions from staff were spot on. Tried cajun dry rub wings and they are great. Onion rings and our loaded fries great too. Will return soon. guy there is so friendly and works hard to get food out quickly and order correct. Prices are great too.“

“356 Korean BBQ & Bar is such a vibe. The interior is modern, sleek, and super cool, definitely not your typical KBBQ spot. The lighting, layout, and overall design make it feel elevated but still comfortable enough to hang out and enjoy your meal.

What really stands out is the variety of food. From high-quality cuts of meat to all the different sides and options, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re going classic with brisket and short rib or trying some of their other specialties, everything feels thoughtfully curated and fresh.

Great atmosphere, great selection, and just an overall fun place to dine. Definitely coming back.“

“Very good food and me and my family absolutely love taking it home“

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

“We usually order a whole duck to take home so I’m not sure how they are at the restaurant, but this place has DELICIOUS duck. Some of the best I’ve ever had. Savory, moist, and extremely flavorful.

My family also adores the soup here; we always add extra to our order. While their cold dishes leans more pricey, we INHALE the tofu skin cold dish!

Highly recommend getting duck from here!“

“This is my favorite Korean restaurant!“

“We always get the spicy pork bowl, soy garlic wings and spicy korean wings; never been disappointed. The tacos are also great! I think this place is better than BBQ Chicken and Pelicana with their wings, couldn't get pictures because it's always gone before I know it,too good to resist“

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

“This is where you can find $23 all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ that might be one of the best deals in SoCal.

You get a choice of 18 different kinds of meat, including the self-serve bar where you can grab your own marinated meats, like spicy beef bulgogi and pork jowl, and all the amazing sides, for as many times as you want. You can even make KBBQ meat tacos!

This $23 deal is only available during lunch, but weekends are included! ;)

But if you're feeling bougie, definitely get the premium AYCE menu A at $49.99, which includes a giant dinosaur bone-looking rib that was just melt-in-your-mouth tender, spicy Korean cold noodles, ramen, and steamed egg.

Thanks for reading! ^-^“

“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“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“food was wonderful and delicious great service“

“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.“

“Im new around the walnut CA area and i decided to give this spot a try. i asked for recommendations and the 2 young ladys were really helpful and patient with me. The food was amazing my favorite was the rose pasta! I definitely will be returning“
