25 Best Korean Restaurants near Rancho Cordova

“i’m normally too lazy to post reviews, but this place absolutely deserves the hype. i’d give it 5 stars for the service alone, but the food was so good on top of it. we got the pan fried mackerel, bulgogi, and tofu dolsut bibimbap. the mackerel was juicy and the bibimbap had the perfect crust at the bottom. great choices of bonchon too!“

“Seoul 1979 was a great find. The service was quick, welcoming, and efficient, and the food tasted fresh and made with care.

I ordered the Bulgogi Cupbap and thoroughly enjoyed it. The beef was tender and flavorful, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion was satisfying without feeling overly heavy. The kimchi on the side was a nice added touch.

I can’t speak for the Japanese offerings, but based on the Korean food alone, I’d happily come back.“

“Steak & Rubs were fantastic.“

“Outstanding! True Top-Chef Level Quality

I recently tried Young’s Teriyaki in Rancho Cordova, and it completely blew me away. The food here is genuinely top-chef level quality.

I ordered both the regular Teriyaki Bowl and the Spicy Chicken Bowl. Both were absolutely outstanding. The chicken was perfectly grilled, incredibly tender, and not dried out at all. The classic teriyaki sauce has the perfect balance of sweet and savory without being overwhelming. The spicy chicken had a fantastic kick to it that kept me coming back for more.The portions are generous, the ingredients taste incredibly fresh, and the flavors are spot on. If you are in the area and craving high-quality teriyaki, this is the absolute best spot in town. I will definitely be a regular customer here!“

“I had an excellent experience at Vons Chicken Rancho Cordova. The chicken wings were absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The customer service was exceptional, attentive, and welcoming throughout my visit. I was also pleasantly surprised by their radish, which was remarkably fresh and complemented the meal beautifully. Highly recommended!“

“I’ve been to Doma three times and every time it gets better! I can’t wait to go back. My kids, the wife and I love the food and the service is quick, mellow and attentive. Great prices too. We’ll be back soon“

“Very good food. Friendly staff“

“We had a 33rd birthday party for our son, his band and groupies, party of 11. The mgt Kien/Kenny was very accommodating with our reservation, running a slide show in our private room and the lobby while our guests arrived. The seafood pancakes, desert, and spinning the prize wheel were unexpected treats. Some may think it's pricey but when I consider that for the price I would pay for a basic Rib Eye dinner elsewhere, I can have as much Rib Eye, as well as a variety of other meats, chicken, shrimp, sides as I can possibly eat, it's very reasonable. Most of our group were 1st timers, so the cultural experience of new foods, cooking at your table the way you like, made for a unique experience. Our group of 20 something yr old punk rockers had a lot of fun, the service and food were excellent. We'll be back...ps. call ahead to gauge the crowd and bring an appetite.“

“Once again Oz knocks it out of the park. We took 30 of our Black belt class for our 16th annual Korean dinner. Managers Phillip and Sean insured that everyone was taken care of. The service was fantastic and the food was Great can't wait till next year Tony R.“

“By far the best KBBQ I've been to. This is my comparison to several in Sac like OZ, and in San Francisco. It is pricey but if you can eat, it's well worth it. Sides are the best here but careful not to eat too much of it haha. The Meat were of the best quality compared to the other places.“

“We discovered this restaurant last February 2025, and after that me and partner became a regular customer, to the point that even the server knows what we will order without asking😂 I love the hospitality and the service on this restaurant, the food is superb! everything taste authentic! must visit!!!💗“

“Living in Carmichael for about year and a half, after living in Chicago (.a place that knows a little bit about chicken wings), this is my go to place for chicken wings. Not whole like Chicago.“

“Hands down the best authentic Korean restaurant in the area, and it will always be my favorite! Their banchan (side dishes) are absolutely amazing—they bring out so many dishes. Normally, when a restaurant serves this much variety, the quality drops, but not here. Every single side dish is fresh and high quality. On top of that, all the main food items are incredible. Staffs were very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!“

“I've been to this place many of many a times and I will continue to come here it's an amazing Vibe and the food is absolutely phenomenal the staff is always super positive and welcoming I recommend this place to anyone and everyone with a sense of good taste buds.“

“The owner is incredibly sweet and genuinely happy to serve every guest, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you receive.

Everything we ordered was delicious--from the bulgogi, fried chicken wings, and spicy tofu soup to the raw marinated shrimp. Every dish was flavorful and satisfying. The spicy raw marinated crab was $50 for an order, and while it looked like an excellent value with a generous portion, I was simply too full to try it that evening.

I will definitely be back just for the marinated crab. They also happily refill the banchan as needed, which is always a nice touch. This place is truly a hidden gem in the neighborhood, and I highly recommend giving it a try.“

“Pricey but delicious, super polite staff. Probably won't be back though in all honesty.“

“food and slushies 10/10!!! The only downside was the wait it took 30 minutes to get food.“

“Amazing food and kind service! The environment is quiet and peaceful, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. I highly recommend the crispy garlic and Yangnyum drumsticks—they were absolutely delicious! However, I would say the prices are pretty expensive, but considering it’s a small business, I’m happy to support!“

“The food is good with strong flavors (very spicy, salty) - some will like others not so much. More importantly, they're open late which is rare for Sacramento. Plus, the place has a unique aesthetic - sort of a hole in the wall but it's memorable and I definitely recommend going once - for the experience.“

“I've been coming here for over 16 yrs. I'll be very honest the only thing I order is the Bibimbap #17, no spicy. I just love the sesame sesame seed oil. The vegetables are gently sauteed in the sesame seed oil, chicken is char grilled for the prefect touch of smoke..they have some traditional items that look fresh and delicious.“

“We arrived at 9 (closeing at 10) and we're greater so kindly! And the food was amazing the rice was on point making the sushi rolls so delicious even tho we arrived later in the night at all tasted so fresh and delicious 10 out of 10!!<3“

“food place for family and hang out“

“Hello, I’ve come and ordered take out a few times now including last night, usually I enjoy their food but I made a mistake last night when I ordered. I ordered Tobiko Dolsot Bibimbob and misread it as Ddukbokki because one I didn’t know how it was spelt and two my brain kept making me pronounce the word as so. I ended up finding out when they were already closed so I tried it but I ended up not liking it and can’t bring myself to eat it. I can’t get a replacement and don’t expect it to be since it was my mistake but it’s just upsetting I spent 24 dollars on it and wasn’t able to enjoy the food.

But the meal I usually order is good, I’ve never eaten in but the inside looks nice, the food is always piping hot when I come pick it up which I love, and the woman who is always there giving me the food is relatively nice. It’s unfortunate that this time around I wasn’t able to enjoy the food and it’s too expensive(since I’m not paid much) for me to order again 2 days in a row but maybe next time in a couple to a few months

Edit: also presentation of meals are always so good, always pretty and organized since I usually get Bibimbob, next time I will make sure I know what it says and I will just get the usual meal I get“

“Gotta try this place. The pork buns were an unexpected delight 💕“

“Just tried GEN at the Tukwila, WA SouthCenter mall location. It was great and we loved it. Our server, Christian, was the best, always prompt and ready to serve. The food was excellent and tasted great. We will definitely be back!! 😃“
