50 Best Korean Restaurants near Redondo Beach

“Great Korean Fried Chicken chain! If you are fans of Crash Landing on you, this is the chain featured in the show! Not much of a sit down place but there are a couple of tables.

The chicken and all the sauces are great. It is actually tough to choose at times. My favorites are the Secret Sauce, Garlic and original.

Other Korean food we have ordered are the Rose Ddeok-Bokki, Fries, Sweet Potato Fries and cheese sticks. They are all good but the highlights are definitely the chicken.“

“Great little neighborhood spot with good breakfast, excellent burgers, and some Mexican as well as Asian selections which are great options to add variety to the typical burgers and chili fries. I personally love the steak sandwich and they make an excellent breakfast burrito. Prices are reasonable and there is plenty of free parking in the center lot or street parking on Torrance Blvd. They also continuously post specials and bundles which they really discount to provide a nice savings. The guys who work here are really nice and I have seen them clean at the end of the night and they do a great job. I have eaten here so many times I can't count... no fancy, not expensive.. honest tasty food quickly and affordable. Highly recommended.“

“Food was delicious. great customer service, great price“

“We had the spicy fish stew, large steamed shrimp, steamed fresh abalone, soju and beer. Really great typical seaside Korean spot in the informal style like you might find around Jeju or Busan. Focused on ingredients and execution not plateware 😊“

“Fresh lobster was delicious!“

“I came here with my three kids, and we all had an amazing experience. The quality of the meat was outstanding so fresh and flavorful! The service was great, and the atmosphere made our meal even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I have been going here for a while. Food is consistently good. The owners are very kind. Food is not salty but flavorful but just in case you want it salty they do have salt and pepper on the table. My girlfriend and I love to choose number two and number three in the menu.“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“The chicken is always BOMB-TASTIC from this place, & they are speedy quick, too! I placed a pretty good sized order, less than an hour before their pick up "window" closed, & they still had it ready to go in plenty of time! They are always so sweet when I go to pick up, too, & will always give me extra pickled radishes! YUMMM! The savory aroma of their amazing chicken filled my car on my short drive home, & I couldn't wait to dive in like a,SAVAGE! :-P Thank you, b.b.q. chicken, for satisfying this cavegirl's craving tonight!

Parking: It's in a strip mall with other restaurants, on a busy corner, & I have seen the lot packed during the day. Parking is tight there during the day, & due to the busy corner, it's tough to get in & out of. However, I normally do my b.b.q. chicken runs in the evenings after half of the businesses in that strip mall have closed, so parking isn't an issue!“

“The food is was too DIE for!! First time coming here and it won’t be the last. If you’re looking for a taste of Japan this is the place. The staff was so kind and made sure to help us out. Everything was just such a nice experience, do recommend for anyone in the area.“

“Wow! The store was spacious and clean, so my first impression was good. I tried the hangover soup that was recommended to me, and it tasted similar to what I used to eat in Korea. In Korea, people eat a lot of hangover soup or soup with rice to ease their stomachs the day after drinking. It was delicious.

The haejangguk had a broth base with just the right amount of cabbage and meat, so it was spicy and not too spicy.

This is a restaurant where you can eat the Seonjihaejangguk and Sundae that you saw in Korean dramas. Go and try it once!! I always want to visit again.

I got the feeling that the store was clean, and as expected, the food was also prepared cleanly and well.“

“My friends and I are visiting and wanted to try a good Korean place. This place was amazing! The service was great, they checked on us regularly and helped cook our food. The amount of food we got with how much we paid was worth it. Definitely recommend and would come back the next time we visit!“

“The spicy brisket soup was satisfying. Not too salty and not too spicy. The glass noodles were the perfect chewy texture. The purple rice was amazing as well. The side dishes were fresh and crispy. I especially liked the kimchi. Highly recommend the dumplings. Hard to find this quality.“

“One of the best Jajangmyeon I've ever had!Jajangmyeon is a Korean-Chinese dish of thick noodles covered in a rich, fermented black bean sauce and served with vegetables and pork. The savory, salty, and slightly sweet dish is a cultural icon in Korea, often associated with childhood memories and special occasions. The noodles are made fresh which makes it extra special. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic sauce is a perfect accompaniment with it's tangy crunchy chewy spicy taste! This is the type of place that
will be your go to for Korean Chinese dishes! Nothing fancy on inside but super clean and super friendly staff!“

“I arrived home late after picking up the chicken, so it was all cold, but it was so delicious even when it was cold, and when you look at the flesh, you can tell that they used good chicken. You can feel the generosity of the owner who pays great attention to the ingredients and does not skimp on them. The chicken was crispy on the outside and very moist and soft on the inside. The seasoning was rich in flavor and very delicious. I think I will only eat thankschicken from now on. For chicken, I highly recommend this chicken restaurant?“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“Sweet Potato Pizza is awesome and Frisx Chicken with Korean Sauce is really delicious! Two Thumbs Up!“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“Honestly it felt like Korea - clean, modern, everything delicious. Really good portions, too! We got the mille feuille beef thing and it was really fun and the dipping sauce was delicious! Dolsot bibimbap came in a low, wide stone pot providing a lot of surface area to make crispy rice and keep it warm. Banchan was good! Kiddo crushed the fish cakes and japchae which are usually bland and left aside. Will come back!

Kid-friendliness: High chairs, booster seats and ajumas who get you ?“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“We've been here a few times. We have enjoyed it and feel the staff is good and take care of you.

Parking: The parking lot is large but this restaurant is busy and Scardinos, another popular place, restaurant is in the same strip mall. I've had to drive a loop a couple times each time we've come.“

“Best Korean chicken in the area hands-down. More of a bar vibe. Snow cap is a must. Fried chicken, but not oily. It’s the best. Sweet potato fries, waffle fries so awesome. Bluemoon pitcher and we called it a night.Weekday happy hour specials. Sorry forgot to take a pic.Can’t wait to go back!

Parking: Parking on side instead of in front has more options“

“Amazing little Korean mom and pop shop in Gardena. The whole restaurant has maybe 4 tables, and when we got there for an early-ish lunch on Saturday, there were no other patrons. The auntie and uncle were very kind and brought us tea and banchan quickly, but the star of the show was the food. Delicious soup that came out quickly along with rice (choice of white or brown) and banchan. Portion sizes are huge!! Definitely get your money's worth here. The parking lot is pretty small and shared with a couple other restaurants. Heads up, the restaurant storefront signage is in Korean only. Will definitely be back to try some other soups!“

“Came here last night with My Family and all I can Say the Owner or Server we had there was amazing she genuinely gave us the greatest customer service we can ask for and all the food we ate was so delicious...I Will recommend this place 100% ☺️🙏❤ #MayGodBlessthisbusiness #littlefamilyowned ☺️❤“

“A Refreshing Change from Korean BBQ

This Korean restaurant offers something different—delicious noodle soup with seafood instead of the usual BBQ.

The taste is absolutely on point—fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

Highly recommended to try!“

“muy bueno, lo recomiendo al 100, comida koreana.“

“Me and the family came here during the week to try something new. Saw the food and menu and thought let’s do it.

Came in and got seated right away. Inside looks great with a lot of room and the staff was very friendly.

After looking over the menu, we picked more items than we thought we could handle. But all of it was amazing.

We ordered TTEOK BOKKI with ramen and cheese. Tasted great. Great texture and taste

Come with the Korean Style Spicy chicken. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and a hint of spice that gives it a great flavor.

Lastly we ordered the Spicy Pork Bulgogi. Just as the chicken, amazing. Spicer than the chicken by a tad but amazing taste

We ordered rice with it which probably why we didn’t finish half of the portions of each dish. The employees felt we didn’t like it but we took it home to eat again the following day!

Must try in the Gardena area. :) thank you!“

“No frills and authentic Korean food. Love that they are open early in the morning. Came here after a night out, and their sogogi gukbap (beef soup with rice) hit the spot. Side dishes, banchan, reflected various types of kimchi and they were all excellent.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“I’ve had kimbap before, but I bought the prepackaged ones from grocery stores. I thought they were okay. Then I watched Kpop Demon Hunters and saw Rumi sniffing and swallowing a whole roll, and was like, “Am I missing something?” So my search for freshly made kimbap landed me here.

I was hesitant to go to the Ktown location, and made the 90 minute drive to the Torrance location. At first glance the kimbap looked like any other kimbap. Just with a slightly nicer presentation. But the smell radiating from my to-go bag was permeating my car. The scent of roasted sesame oil. I had to try one before making my long drive back home. It was, in short, very delicious. I can see why Rumi was shoving it down her throat.

I bought the beef and tuna kimbap. The beef had a nice savoriness. While the tuna had a creaminess to it. Both were delicious, but I liked the beef more.

I also just finished my order of tteokbokki, as I’m writing this review. It was spicy, umami, chewy, and paired well with the adobo rice I made. Yes, we are expert big backs over here.

Overall, I really liked their kimbap. Next time I’ll go to their Vermont location since it’s closer 🤤“

“Let's be real, sometimes restaurant names escape me. But when my wife says "Korean soup place with all the Korean senior citizens," I instantly remember she means Tofu Village in Gardena.

Here's the thing: if you walk into a Korean restaurant and it's filled with Korean senior citizens, you know the food is legit. And Tofu Village? It's always bustling with them, which is a testament to the authentic, soul-warming dishes they serve.

Their specialty is Soon Tofu, and it's honestly the best value on the menu. A bubbling hot stone bowl filled with flavorful broth, silky tofu, and your choice of protein (I'm a beef guy, through and through)? It's pure comfort food.

But the real star of the show, in my opinion, is the banchan. Those unlimited vegetable side dishes? They're a feast in themselves! Fresh, flavorful, and constantly refilled. And even when you order to go, they don't skimp. They pack up little aluminum foil containers with the best of the bunch, which is a thoughtful touch.

Tofu Village isn't fancy, and it doesn't need to be. It's authentic, delicious, and makes you feel good from the inside out. It's a 5-star experience, and I'll keep coming back for that warm, comforting bowl of Soon Tofu. And those banchan, of course!“

“Great service, atmosphere was upbeat and plenty of great food to cook up! Get there early s because place was packed when I left.“

“Amazing service. Their food is hit or miss. The tofu kimchi is amazing. I definitely didn’t like their chicken feet though. Still, the lighting is very nice. They don’t charge extra for rice, so you can order rice to have along with your dish.“

“The steamed cypress tree was so neat and delicious that it had the best light taste that was more Korean than Korea.

Vegetarian options: You can steam the abundant vegetables in a cypress wood steamer and dip them in the sauce. The brisket is especially thin and soft, so this is the best restaurant that anyone of any age can enjoy. Highly recommended!

Parking: Ample parking is available right in front of the yard.

Kid-friendliness: It's clean and the table itself has a private partition.“

“A nice restaurant for Korean comfort food. The bibimbap was good. It feels less Americanized than most restaurants, which was a good thing. We were a bit sad that the samgye tang didn’t have ginseng in it. I think it might be in the broth when they cook it but we usually get the real ginseng our dish too when ordering this. Overall, the taste was good.“

“As someone who likes korean food this was a place I wanted to go and try. I want to find a restaurant that feels reminiscent of good ol' home style cooking. You know those places that locals go to, that's what I found here. We went for dinner in the middle of the week and were seated right away. We were the only 2 that looked "out of place". Our server greeted us right away and let us know she would be happy to answer any questions we had or would be glad to give a recommendation on what to order. We got a combo of hot stone bibimbap and galbi. I also got us an order of bossam with kimchi. The banchan they served was delicious, my favorite was the cucumber. My only complaint would be that it was too warm inside and I was sweating throughout the whole meal.“

“It was hard to find the restaurant because it was in the back corner of a business complex. It's very easy to miss, but there's plenty of parking at least. Me and 2 friends ordered from the kiosk and waited about 15m for 3 sandwiches and fries. Inside it's quite small with only a table and bar with 4 seats each.

I got the Signature Sandwich with LVL 2 sauce. The sandwich was massive, and the chicken was so thick, incredibly juicy, and perfectly cooked. The breading and cabbage were crunchy too. The mayo was a creamy complement to the chicken without being overpowering. The spicy sauce was served on the side, and it was so deliviously flavorful and not only spicy. My only complaint here is that I wish there was more spicy sauce and that it was spread inside the sandwich, because I kept forgetting to drizzle sauce on between bites and still ran out.

The salt and vinegar fries tasted exactly like the Lay's flavor but with more potato from the fries, of course. Honestly the fries were nothing special but they gave so much that the box was overflowing.

I tried my friend's Kimchi Egg Sandwich too. The ham was pretty forgettable or missable, but the egg was delicious. The egg was incredibly moist, sweet, and delicately salty, and it paired well with the mild acidity of the kimchi.

We chatted with the owner a bit when we picked up our food and she was very sweet and kind. She made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. I hope more people check this place out, because it's unfortunately very missable in its current location. I'm going to come back but will definitely share a sandwich next time.“

“After just one week, I am eating so much food...
I loved the skin scuba trip we had together in La Paz, Mexico... We stopped by a Korean restaurant while waiting at the airport. The atmosphere and service were great...
Thank you, boss. I had a good time... haha“

“(Translated by Google) The catering overall was delicious and neat. Especially kimchi and fruit salad. Japchae. Tricolor is the best!!?(Original)캐더링 전체적으로 맛있고 정갈했습니다. 특히 겉절이 김치와 과일 사라다. 잡채. 삼색전 최고에요!!?“

“Love to eat here . People are friendly. Hit the spot ! Thank you“

“Wonderful experience! I have been very satisfied with Hansol Noodle.
The staff are very friendly, and the food is high quality. Each and every soup has its own unique variety of flavors, smells, textures, and styles. There's so many different things to try, you won't soon get bored here! The food comes out hot and carefully made to provide you the best experience possible! There's plenty of seating, plenty of parking, and a wonderful grocery to shop at before or after you eat! I encourage you to give it a try!
10/10 would recommend, I will return!“

“I had an amazing experience at this family-owned Japanese restaurant! The chicken bowl I ordered was incredible. The meat was perfectly cooked, savory, and juicy. You can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes. The cozy, welcoming atmosphere made the meal even better. I can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!“

“i had their bowls and it was delicious and affordable for all that they put on there!! huge size and flavor.. 5* for me i highly recommend them...yummmmmm///. yo. comi sus bowls y les doy un 5* por tanta comida como buen sabor...buen precio por tanta comida...“

“First, I notice it's not flame brolier.
The portions are bigger. However, you can get your own sauce. They gave 2 small tiny teriyaki for a works bowl. Then, I was charged for extra sauce. The 2 she gives is not enough. You usually can put the sauce on yourself. Not here they give 2 per bowl.“

“Nice selection. Good quality“

“I don’t understand why there are so many bad reviews. I was actually worried about the undercooked meat comment because I am pregnant. Everything was perfect and i didnt have to ask for anything different. I asked for extra sauce and he just gave it too me happily. Also the restroom was available to use which was great for me. I got the half and half plate with extra extra avocado. Highly recommend !“

“Old man, restaurant owner, food
It's the kind of food my mom made ^*^
When I feel sick, I eat hot seolleongtang soup and kimchi * After eating sikhye, my body feels happy and healthy.
It reminds me of the food I used to eat when I went to my grandmother's house.
I always submit because I have a lot ^*^
And is it Grandma Shangak?
I'm getting healthier ^*^

The price is cheap too
It's delicious too
The old days when I ate my grandmother’s food
I remember memories and my body feels happy.
Even if the boss eats plum syrup?, he sells it and buys it.

Thinking about Korea
Come out hahahaha“

“Portion sizes here are undefeated. You get so much chicken in the small bowl. The grilled chicken is juicy and hot with a unique teriyaki sauce that steals the show. I really like their short grain rice as well. Great post-workout meal.

I used to frequent the Long Beach location and this spot tastes exactly the same thankfully. Area is a little rough but the store itself is clean and inviting.“

“Korean BBQ all you can eat. Pretty good, haven't been here in awhile...... used to be very cheap, now it's $25/person. Kids 5-7, $10. 8-11, $16. But most places have gone up since covid. No galbi here, just bulgogi, brisket, spicy pork, pork belly, chicken, and beef belly (thin sliced short rib). Not a whole variety but these are the main meats.“
