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!“

“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.“

“Fresh lobster was delicious!“

“The food looked and tasted really good. We paid for premium but it all came in plastic. I was disappointed that premium was just plastic but the food was still great but the atmosphere was not. Spicy soup and live dungness crab tasted and looked great though I felt sorry for the crab 🦀. Quite a bit of noise with the mallets cracking the crab. I really liked to see the catfish and lobster. Really comfortable place and great food. 😊“

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

“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“

“We had a truly delightful experience at your Korean barbecue restaurant. The quality of the meats was exceptional, and the variety offered was impressive. Our server was attentive and provided excellent recommendations throughout the meal. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making for a very pleasant evening. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a fantastic K-BBQ adventure.“

“I had dwaeji-gukbap, and I highly recommend it.
There was no unpleasant pork smell, and the thickly sliced meat was very tender.
The pickled perilla leaves served as a side dish were especially delicious—I recommend placing them on the meat and eating them together.“

“Baek Am Korean Restaurant (백암순대) is an absolute hidden gem! If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food, this place delivers in every way. The 순대 (soondae) is incredibly flavorful and perfectly prepared—rich, savory, and super satisfying.

The soups are the real highlight though—deep, hearty, and packed with that authentic homemade taste that warms you up instantly. You can tell they don’t cut corners with ingredients or preparation.

The staff are friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe feels casual and welcoming—just like a true local spot in Korea.

Definitely one of the best places around for legit Korean food. I’ll 100% be coming back!“

“I had a really enjoyable dinner at Thanks Chicken. My favorite was the original crispy fried chicken. It's amazing especially if you get right from kitchen. Next one is the garlic soy chicken was crispy, flavorful, and clearly made fresh, and even the simple sides hit the spot.
It did get busy, but the staff stayed friendly and worked hard to keep things moving.
Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood spot for Korean fried chicken, and I’d happily come back again.“

“At first didn't think much about the place due to the store front and name bbq chicken, figure it was just a regular chicken spot but I was in a mood for wings. While viewing the menu I was intrigued by the flavors offered. Once entering location it's was refreshing to smell and see the cleanliness and aroma of something that immediately caught my attention which had me anticipating greatness.. and thats not all, the service was to the Capital T. The gentleman at the register answer all my questions with plenty of recommendations based on my taste. I was more then pleased and I didn't even order yet. Once I ordered I couldn't wait for my honey garlic wings with a side of pickled radishes. After my order was completed I was handed a buzzer to inform me when my order was ready. Now I waited in the car not sure if there was seating in the back cause I didn't ask nor venture I just wanted to head to the car and express my opinion to my spouse.. no more than 10 -15 mins later give or take food was ready. Now let me tell you i very impressed by the smell. Plus the container was perfect fully closed with air pockets so the 🐔 could breath. Now this always makes a difference no matter how the food smell. Maintaining that crispyness I look for.. now let me get to this chicken. Boy/ Girl let me tell you, chicken sooooo good make you wanna slap your momma. Flavor 10, texture 10, plus the service 10, this a perfect game for me. Triple doubles. me and wifey was licking each other finger fighting for the last drip. Been a while since I had something this good in Cali. And I'm a new York wing head.. with this said I'll be back so I hope to see all y'all in there tomorrow, cause I'm definitely coming back, so lock me in for a lifetime membership. Was great to meet y'all at Bbq chicken in lomita“

“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...“

“Atto has amazing authentic Korean food, outstanding service, and old school charm that really stands out from the crowd. The army stew was such a cool dish.. ramen noodles, sausage, spam and all sorts of great ingredients in a delicious broth. The spicy pork with tofu was perfect.. not too spicy but great flavor. The sweet and tangy pork loin was friend perfectly and the sweet and tangy sauce is a must try.. it is perfectly balanced with very bold flavors. The chef came out to chat with us and gave us the history of the army stew which was quite interesting. The dining room is cozy and comfortable with plenty of seating. We have tried so many Korean restaurants in the South Bay and Atto stands out for incredible food and a unique experience. Very highly recommended.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food, the spicy seafood soup was sectacular“

“We met up with some friends when visiting Marina Del Rey and enjoyed a premium experience. They cooked up everything right in front of us, switching out the grill plates between meats and keeping things fresh.

Our group of 4 shared:

🥩 Set A - brisket, boneless shortrib, signature bulgogi

🍗 Namoo House Chicken

🥟 Dumplings

The set was for 2 people, but it comes with sides like salad, corn cheese, veggie pancake and typical bonchon. They even make ramen at the end, so coupled with the chicken and dumplings we ordered, this was more than enough food.

Excellent service, gorgeous clean interiors, generous portions and perfectly seasoned meats - this spot ticks all the boxes 😋“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“One of my rules is to eat at Asian restaurants where Asian people work and dine, and this place was exactly like that. All the staff and most of the customers were Asian, which is usually a great sign of authenticity.

I’m always looking for high-quality food, and I feel lucky to have found this restaurant. The bibimbap was delicious, and the complimentary side dishes were excellent.“

“Tried the shrimp Tempura (5 pcs) very fresh and good cook too order you can tell. 🍤 Waffle Fries really good as well not oily. 🍟😋 Tried Honey Hot and Garlic Spicy both (10pc) which were both so fresh and food. 🌶️🍯🍗 Down the meal with a Strawberry Lemonade and the Chum Churum Soon Hari both Peach and Strawberry soju so good get it everytime at these restaurants 🍑🍓🍶😋“

“I had creamy perilla acorn noodles( 들깨도토리국수) and pork n potato dumpling. They both were really good and I enjoyed talking with the owner whose service was nothing but great, personable and friendly. Their to go box was impressably nice and fancy which kept the food as was. I am going back for those two dishes that I know no Korean restaurant in the South Bay offers.“

“Late night Korean vibes. This place is legit!
Open room with ambiance lights but not dark with awesome authentic Korean vibes and plenty of space for large group to sit together.
The service is super friendly and inviting, we ordered so much food it barely fit in our table and when we ordered soju, they gave us the soju for free to enjoy it with our meal.
Shout out to our server for making our meal experience a great one, we’re absolutely coming again soon!
Each dish was delicious and their prices are very fair, I dare to say not expensive at all!
If your near Gardena and it’s late your options for good food are limited, this place is your salvation from boring food late at night.
Definitely a must try with your family and friends!“

“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“

“Stopped by Jang Su Jang in Torrance and the place was bustling, with only a few tables open for dine-in.

Ambiance (4/5): Lots of natural light mixed with warm-toned lighting creates a cozy and homey feel. The restaurant has plenty of space, with tables for both small groups and larger parties of up to 8. It was lively and loud inside, but in a good way—exactly the kind of noise level you’d expect at a thriving Korean spot. Beautifully decorated and welcoming.

Food (4/5): I ordered the Jangsu Bossam, which came with rice and two portion sizes of banchan. Everything was well-seasoned, with the cucumbers being the standout—crisp, fresh, and addictive. The bossam itself was flavorful and generously portioned (marketed for 2 but easily feeds 3). We also tried the bibimbap, which was satisfying and nicely done. Overall, both dishes were good, though not quite unforgettable.

Service (4/5): Since we ordered to go, I didn’t get the full dine-in experience, but ordering was quick, friendly, and efficient. I’ll update if I get the chance to try table service next time.

Overall: Solid Korean food in a cozy, busy setting. Worth returning to, though maybe not a place I’d find myself craving often.“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“My 1st time Here
& I Must Say It Was Very Delicious.
And Im A Picky Person.
I Got A Chicken Plate That Came With
Salad Rice And Cut Up Chicken With Teriyaki Sauce & Green Onions.
I Paid Under $20 And The Portion Size Was
More Than Enough Nice Hefty Amount Of Food.
Its Was So Tasty Chicken Cooked Perfectly As Well As The Rice And The Salad Was Fresh As Well No Brown At All. I’ll Definitely Be Back And I Also Highly Recommend.“

“This is an excellent place to get restaurant quality katsu at a very reasonable price. I had the tonkatsu combo. It came with soup, cabbage salad, steamed rich, and a delicious katsu sauce. The cutlet was perfectly cooked, and the breading was light and crispy, as it should be.“

“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!“

“Hidden gem in Torrance! The food here is delicious and literally tastes like your grandmother cooking. Their galbi is one really good and they have this homemade bone broth that comes with the cold noodles and it’s one of the best I’ve had. I would definitely come back again!“

“(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.“

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

“Overall, the dining experience was highly satisfactory. While the pricing continues to increase, a trend which reflects current industry dynamics, we hope the management will prioritize maintaining the quality of the cuisine and the established high standard of service in the long term.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 picked here because it was open late and glad I made that decision. I like the menu because it split into prices. Super affordable because the portion is sooo huge. On top, full of flavor and delicious.
I got the combo B with chicken and pitcher of beer. Chicken was crunchy and tasty.
The Sausage platter was sooo huge has a hint of kick but for people who can't eat spicy can still enjoy.
Service was awesome and I think the owner was there and he made sure everybody was happy, felt welcome and enjoyed it here.“

“Casual dinning atmosphere“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“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.“

“Growing up with granny making corn dogs, always have been a favorite.

I tried their fried chicken corn dog —CHEFS KISS, TO THE MOOOOOON!

Off thee CHAIN.

The fried chicken pieces are SUPER SAVORY, UMAMI INDEED.

I get it with the full mozzarella as is the BEST version of it to get —mozzarella is PREMIUM with that QUALITY STRETCH you ONLY find at quality, REAL pizza restaurants, not that cheap stuff at little Caesar’s and Pizza Hut.

The owner of this place really took initiative to make their food taste GREAT.

I will try the seaweed corn dog next time aka the Oreo one, or maybe I’m lying and I will get the fried chicken one again. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅“

“I'd like to announce you all are sleeping on Old Time. Your Korean noodle based dreams will come true here. Special note on availability of cold noodles, hard to find. Operated by a few caring folks with good recommendations. The atmosphere inside is quaint and absolutely perfect, since it seems to be the result of many years of cumulative decoration.“
