34 Best Korean Restaurants near Rancho Cucamonga

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“Myung Dong Tofu House & BBQ is simply a hidden gem for the Korean cuisine enthusiasts in Rancho Cucamonga. Located on Base Line Rd, this Korean restaurant is simple in decor, but it delights with warm service and mouthwatering food. Last Monday, we came here for dinner. The place was empty when we got there. It seems most people prefer takeout or delivery here, likely because of the restaurant’s casual, no-frills atmosphere.

We ordered Topokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake) and Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone Bibimbap. Their service was fast and we received our food within 15 minutes. The dinner was served with a variety of appetizers, such as Kimchi, Pickled Cucumber, Salted Fish Cake, and Bean Sprouts - a dazzling array of Korean small plates, that made the meal even more tempting.

The food was excellent. The Topokki was spicy and rich in flavor. The Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone Bibimbap was tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Even though the price was a bit expensive, the food justified the cost. We had a great dinner at Myung Dong Tofu House & BBQ and can’t wait to come back.“

“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.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was! The restaurant was clean, and the cashier was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the steak bulgogi bowl while my husband got the plate version, both were delicious. I also tried one of their refresher drinks, and it was so good! Everything was fresh and flavorful. I’d definitely come back for lunch again sometime.“

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

“the best food ever. and the owners are so nice“

“We came in really hungry and ended up waiting… and waiting… and waiting. Unfortunately, our server never let us know how long the wait would be, and we ended up sitting there for nearly two hours before our food arrived.

That said — when the chicken finally came out, it was phenomenal. The flavor was absolutely out of this world — totally worth the hype. The music inside set a nice vibe, and overall, it was a good visit.

Just a heads-up: be prepared to wait a long time. If you’re patient, the food will definitely reward you.“

“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!! 😃“

“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“

“This is my absolute favorite spot after a round of golf. Honestly, almost everything on the menu is delicious, and even the side dishes are top-notch. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the '19th hole' with friends. Highly recommended for any golfer in the area.“

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

“This weekend, I took my little dog to Chino for a walk. After seeing the cows, I randomly searched for a highly-rated Korean restaurant nearby. I never expected it to be so amazing; it's even better than those in K-town! 😋 This place used to be a chain brand, and the one in Chino is a new store. It's very popular among Koreans.
The white-cut meat was served and it was completely different from what I expected! It contained beef, tripe and tendons, and was paired with onions and bean sprouts. The plus point was the fragrant garlic, which, when combined with their sauce, was so delicious that I couldn't get enough of it. The tendons were so tender and I loved it so much 😍
The spicy pickled crabs 🦀 are so deliciously seasoned. Who wouldn't love a sweet and spicy seafood ice cream? Once served, it's gone in no time, with people taking one bite after another. Even my friend who doesn't like crabs had his first taste and couldn't stop eating so much.
The spicy octopus 🐙 rice bowl is really fragrant. The octopus is so chewy and bouncy, and it's so delicious. I also ordered the combo of cream soup and grilled steak, which is very cost-effective. The cream soup goes perfectly with the sticky rice bowl. There's even a recommendation on the napkin for how to enjoy the cream soup. The soup is so creamy and rich.
?? Here, you can also find the same style of Sunnongdan's pork ribs stew, but at a more affordable price. There are two sizes to choose from, and even the smaller one is enough for two people. Once you take a bite, the meat just falls off the bone, tender and flavorful. 😋
The staff are all very nice. It's a place I'll definitely come back to. The Korean food here really suits my taste and there are many side dishes. This is the most satisfying Korean meal I've had recently, without a doubt. Recently, many people have been coming to Chino Hiking to see the cows 🐮. You really should give it a try.“

“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“

“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 💪.“

“Who knew that our little town could draw an authentic Japanese Sushi restaurant. High quality fresh fish with some surprisingly exotic items make for some delicious sushi. From the udon to the black cod misoyaki, and everything else I've tasted. This place is the best.“

“I got the whole crispy fried chicken with sauce. The chicken is juicy and crispy. The size of each individual chicken pieces are well quite large in size. And the portion size is quite a lot, so its price is very reasonable. The sauce flavor I got is hot and spicy and it does got some spiciness to it, but extremely enjoyable if you’re into spice. In addition, it is sweet, smoky, and each pieces is perfectly covered in the sauce. The service was friendly and I got my food within like 10-15 minutes. I will be definitely be going here often whenever I’m craving Korean Fried Chicken.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“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.“

“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~ 🤣“

“We decided try this place after picking up our sister from the airport. Atmosphere was clean. Food was decent. They made a mistake on one our orders but quickly rectified it. Person who took our order was very friendly, customer service was outstanding. Will be back whenever we are in the area. Thank you“

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

“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“

“Ube Ice cream taste amazing. I love that they put Nutella on the inside of their cones. It is so delicious.“

“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“

“Delish!! Totally Love them Oyster Shooters. They are the Best🍹“

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

“Wow! We came here to check out the ramen wall but ended up getting some bowls off the main menu instead. Tried the beef bowl and the wing bowl with spicy noodle and lemon pepper wings -- the rice was perfectly cooked and the meats and noodles where incredible. The servings are very generous as well, we both left stuffed.

The wait wasn't too bad considering everything was cooked fresh but apparently there's an order ahead option if you don't want to wait as long. They were playing good music and the noise level was such that we could hear each other but didn't feel like everyone was listening to our conversation.“

“Korean fried chicken is just the best! Non greasy and a light batter. The plain wings are perfect and the flavored ones are even more delicious. I recommend the Honey Garlic variety“

“I've been coming here since a teenager. I recently started coming regularly though for my new diet. Let me tell you, I've lost about 30 pounds from eating this healthy food right here ! The food is top notch, healthy 100% as well, but I like to say it starts off with the customer service. Their service here is amazing, and the people here are genuine. The young lady with the glasses always helps me and she is such a kind and full spirited individual. I will continue to come here and will continue to eat their good chicken and veggies !“

“Best sushi in Upland Highly recommend“

“First timer here always heard good reviews from friends so i had to come out and try! I had the pleaser of meeting the owner Alley whom is a delight and gave us excellent service and detailed ingredients on the flavors of wings.
I ordered honey garlic wings, spicy gobi wings and a bulgogi bowel.Always love coming to to support family owned businesses thank you :)
The chicken is perfect never had chicken like this before 10/10
Also please note that all orders take up to 15 mins as they make it fresh and never pre fried!!!“

“I went here to have a take out at the very last minute before the store closes, but Diego and Brandon are so nice they let me in and still served me. These two have a great attitude, they’re already tired but they still smile and give me a little chitchat while serving me. Diego and Brandon are very great server. I wish we have people like these two in all restaurants. 10 stars ? for both and also the restaurant.“

“This was an amazing experience I’ve been to a lot of KBBQ and this is up there one down side is the paying fir drinks no refills except water which is ok overall great experience don’t let the negative reviews confuse you try it our for yourself“
