50 Best Korean Restaurants near Redondo Beach

“
(Cozy place)
(Friendly staff)

Last weekend, I was looking for a quick bite in Redondo Beach and came across this place right on my way to the beach. Decided to grab some take-out, and it was absolutely amazing!

The chicken was perfectly cooked all the way through(which is rare these days since a lot of places leave it undercooked inside) but here, the meat was still incredibly juicy and tender, not dry at all.

I ordered the regular wings, and they had a nice little kick to them, but definitely not too spicy. Honestly, this is hands down the best take-out food to grab before heading down to the beach

+ Plenty of parking spaces!“

“Fresh lobster was delicious!“

“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.“

“The crab and seafood are fresh, but compared to other Korean restaurants, the service is less friendly.

If you want to order crab, it’s better to place your order at least 30 minutes in advance so you can enjoy it sooner. If you order after arriving at the restaurant, the spicy fish stew usually comes out first, and you may have to wait longer for the crab.“

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

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

“A clearly family run delicious soup restaurant that have been several times. The seollungtang rivals that of hanbat without having to go all the way to korea town and they serve other things which i always wanted from hanbat. Their bossam is great with raw nappa which i love and the haegaengguk which also has saved me post a hard night. Highly underrated korea restaurant“

“It just has that KBBQ vibe. The servers are so friendly and super accommodating. They suggest, recommend, and chat you up. Super cozy.

As for the food, get the signature dish: gobchang (intestines). For a medium, you get to choose three of the four choices: abomasum (stomach), tripe, large intestines, and small intestines. Additionally, you get side dishes, a choice of a stew (kimchi or fermented soybean), corn cheese, steamed egg, and salad. They cook the intestines for you before bringing it out to your table, so that it says warm as you eat. They stir fry the intestines with potato slices, onions, garlic and mushrooms. They really do 곱창 right. We also ordered the beef tartare, since they had posters of it around the restaurant. The beef tartare is definitely in the top 3 of the ones I've tried around OC, NY, and SD. The cuts are thicker than normal and the seasoning is perfect. They don't include a lot of ingredients like other places do, but it just hits better.

It's within a plaza, so there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. This place has become one of my go-tos for gopchang. A++!“

“The food here was absolutely amazing! If you are planning a visit, the blood sausage and the fish pancake were the absolute highlights of the meal—both were packed with incredible flavor and cooked to perfection. I definitely recommend checking this place out. I will absolutely be coming back for more!“

“This place is small and tuck away in a shopping corner, but the services was the best, seen like a great mom and pop place. Forgot what I order but it was all delicious, when with a group of 4 and we family style the meal, best way to try all the amazing dishes.“

“Nahhh… this place actually lived up to the hype. 😭🔥 The chicken was CRAZY crispy without being dry, and every bite was juicy. Soy Garlic is hands down my favorite flavor. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the sauce is so good I could eat it every day.

The sides were solid too, everything came out fresh and hot, and the staff was super chill. The place was clean and the whole vibe was a W.

Definitely one of the best Korean fried chicken spots I’ve had. If you’re debating whether to try bb.q Chicken, just go. The Soy Garlic is a must. 10/10, I’m already thinking about my next order.“

“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...“

“Food: Ordered Malatang and Street Squid to share, and both were great. The Malatang, which feeds two people, had a nice heat to it (take caution, those who are heat intolerant) and a nice assortment of ingredients. The Street Squid was addictive and tender. Overall, great first impression. Who knew this little gem was sitting in our backyard!

Service: No complaints! We were waited on by two guys, who checked in on us a few times.

Ambiance: Casual, modern, retro.

Parking: Limited parking. Street parking available.“

“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.“

“So happy to find my favorite K-town chicken spot right here in Lomita 😋
I used to crave Thank You Chicken in K-town all the time, but since moving far away, I hadn't been able to have it. Luckily, I randomly discovered on Google Maps that there is a location in Lomita, and I immediately drove over!
My baby fell asleep in the car, so I originally placed a to-go order. However, while the owner was packing up the food, my baby woke up. I asked if we could switch to dine-in instead, and the owner was incredibly sweet and welcoming about it, saying it was absolutely no problem.
The chicken tasted just as amazing as I remembered, and the service was top-notch. I’m so glad I don’t have to drive all the way to K-town anymore. I will definitely be a regular here ☺“

“Everything was excellent from start to finish. The soup is very tasty, and the broth tastes pure, clean, and comforting—you can really tell it’s well-made and not overpowering.

The price is reasonable, and the serving size is just right. Overall, everything is good: great flavor, good portions, and fair pricing.

If you’re looking for a simple but delicious soup with a clean, rich broth, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I would happily come back again.“

“It was about that time again 4 lunch and I was around the area of Gardena and I found this gem sups chicken OMG one of the best chicken sandwiches tender combos and drink I've seen in a while you definitely must come and support because 👁️ will be coming for their once a month breakfast sandwich 🥪🥪.....“

“I love the BBQ, BUT they were slow to replenish the free condiments. Whether it's two or five people, the condiments, salad, and noodle were the same portion. I wondered why. I asked and they seemed to brush it off. I want more salad and kimchi!!!“

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

“My hand was for a size reference. This place is so good! I've been going often for lunch and the quality is consistent! I ordered the spicy bulgogi bento. It comes with a side salad, kimchi, pickled radish,cucumber,noodles, gyoza(1), rice and miso soup for $20. Can't beat a fresh meal (-:<“

“The food is delicious. Once I received my bowl, I was blown away by the portions. My bowl fed two large individuals lol. The kimbap was also delicious. The musubi was fire. The price was right. Overall, I will be coming back when I’m working out here, once a week lol.“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“We’ve visited twice and both times we were happy with both the food and service.
It’s a casual and relaxed Korean restaurant that is open late. Service is friendly with the staff making rounds to check on you. We ordered cheese Tteokbokki, SHRIMP Tempura, SHRIMP FRIED RICE, SEAFOOD NOODLE SOUP, ROSE PASTA, BIBIMGUKSU, FRIED WINGS 10Pcs, Galbi. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Tteokbokki, rose pasta, shrimp tempura, and wings.“

“It was seriously so good. My friends and I were looking for a place that was open late after playing cards, and this place hit the spot! It was 116 for five of us, and they kept refilling our sides whenever we ran out. Honestly, we've decided this might be our weekly spot to go to! A real gem“

“We got the duck combo plus the table-side fried rice and it was quite hefty. Can probably feed a good 4-5 people. The duck is grilled with potatoes, rice cakes, mushrooms, garlic & chives and the combo of everything works well and takes away from the usually gamieness associated with duck. The bean paste dipping sauce was probably my fave. The kimchi fried rice was pretty serious as it even had japchae in it. Combo also includes kimchi pancake, steam egg, corn cheese, bean paste soup. Definitely not your typical Kbbq spot, in a good way, and I dig that they specialize in things like duck and intestines, which I'll be trying on my next visit. Bonus points too for being close by in the South Bay where I live.“

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

“Having grown up in Korea and Koreatown, I miss that authentic Korean flavor. This place comes the closest in the South Bay area, and the service is really good, surprisingly good. The side dishes that come out before your food is a good indicator of how the main dishes will be and everything is good. Highly recommend.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“Just had some of the best chicken wings I’ve had in a long time. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. The waffle fries were perfectly seasoned, the onion rings were crispy and delicious, and the shredded cabbage with dressing was absolutely amazing. Everything paired together so well and made the meal even better.

The service was amazing, and the overall experience was top-notch. I would definitely recommend this spot 10 out of 10, and I’ll definitely be back!

If you want some amazing chicken wings, definitely go here.“

“I’ve been going to Golden Bowl for a long time, and it’s always been a great experience. The atmosphere is good, the food is consistently delicious, and the service is always kind and welcoming.

I really like the teriyaki chicken and shrimp—honestly, everything I’ve tried there has been good. I’ve been going since my firstborn was little, and now he’s 23, so I’ve built a lot of history there.

They always treat you well, the service is sweet, and the free refills are a nice touch. It’s just a solid spot to sit down, relax, and grab a quick bite. Definitely worth it, and I recommend it.“

“Stopped by here from LAX craving Korean food and was very impressed. This place has authentic, delicious Korean food, and their side dishes are amazing! We ordered their bossam combos with kimchi jjigae and soybean soup, which was a great value. Highly recommend!!“

“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...“

“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!“

“Cherrystones catered my brother's celebration of life memorial last Sunday at the Toyota Meeting Hall in Torrance. We were about 120 people. The food and presentation was excellent. We opted for the Kalua Pork and the Teriyaki chicken, both delicious. Loved the broccoli salad and Mac salad. Our guests raved about the food. Cherrystones catered my dad's memorial in 2016 and the food was excellent then. I would not hesitate to use them again if I needed a catering service. Thank you Cherrystones for doing my brother proud.“

“(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!!?“

“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.“

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

“Truly my new favorite Korean restaurant in LA area. Everything, from the banchan starters to the service, was perfect. I ordered their mushroom tofu soup, beef bibibamp, seafood pancake, and mackarel — every dish was flavorful and steaming hot. So comforting, I felt like I was in a halmeoni’s kitchen! Already can’t wait to return to try more of their extensive menu :)“

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

“Run by an older couple and the restaurant matched their charm. Felt super comforting and the food tasted like what you got when visiting your grandparents. I've tried soondaegook all thru the south bay and this was my favorite. 8th Street soondae in ktown is still my #1 but this is def my #2.“

“Lately, I’ve been very into kimbap. However, I can be pretty picky about it in terms of what’s inside. There’s sooooo many options for what kind of kimbap you want. For me, I’m really into the beef kimbap. Kimbap Paradise has the best beef kimbap, in my opinion.

The restaurant is located in Torrance, super close to my home. It’s in a busy shopping center so there’s plenty of parking. I easily just call in my order and pick it up. It’s usually ready within 10/15 mins depending on how busy they are. I never dined in, but there’s lost of seating inside to do so. If you’re not a kimbap fan, they have many other Korean dishes to choose from.“

“Food is very delicious. Very good portions as well. I would say it tastes better and more portions than waba grill. I ordered extra rice instead of salad and fruit. you can turn a plate into two meals for the same price of a plate at waba grill. I'll be back again for sure.“

“This was actually a Brazilian Steak house prior to this restaurant taking over and was really run down. I have never seen so many customer before until they opened up. Now the place is renovated and has the most awesome mural inside. The staff is so kind and the portions are so large. I love coming across authentic food places that stay true to their passed down recipes. They are incorporating new Togo lunch boxes and they are absolutely perfect to take on the go. Yes the place is hard to find, not their fault, the parking does get packed, and that is because they are so good and authentic. The manager is absolutely such a sweetheart and the owner honestly cooks the food himself with his staff and always has a huge beautiful smile on his face. Do not skip out on getting a cafe to top off your meal. Of course prices are high, you can thank our government for that, quality products are not cheap.“

“Casual dinning atmosphere“

“Really enjoyed my visit to this Bull BBQ restaurant spot. The meat was incredibly flavorful and high quality, and everything tasted delicious. The service stood out too, our server she was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend & I will definitely be coming again very soon!“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“Been familiar with Chef Celsie for some time. What is so imperative to highlight is the fact that when you have a true fusionist of tasteful delicacies; then you know you are just about to experience culinary heaven in your mouth. That is Chef Celsie, her deep knowledge of so many different kinds of culinary cultures makes her as force to be reckoned in La La Land. So in other words, you truly are in for a real treat!! #simplydelicious“

“We ordered 2 jalapeno kimbap and 2 beef bulgogi kimbap and they gave us 4 little spicy soups that I thought was miso at first but it's not it's a delicious bean sprout jalapeno soup. So good and spicy 😍 The owners were so nice and asked our daughter if she wanted to take a book home 💚 definitely have to go back for a date night with hubby and try their other items“

“I love how ethnic markets: Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Mexican supermarkets in So. Cal included a food court where everyone can sample ethnic dishes. At this H Mart, I ordered Hot Stone Bibimbap. It arrived with three sides, and two sauces. Yummy doesn’t even begin to describe this dish. All the raw vegetables were freshly sliced, warmed by the heat of the stone and rice. The cooked vegetables were perfectly cooked-maintaining their bright green color. I prefer low salt, so I just poured in a little bit of the sauce. While sitting down to eat my lunch, I thought about groceries to pick up from H-Mart. I’m a little surprised that this food court with 4 eateries wasn’t busier during the week. Bring your appetite.“
