49 Best Korean Restaurants near San Dimas

“I really love eating at this store because when you dine in, you can have as much sauce as you want. And I love their sauces. I saw someone review for being stingy with their sauce. I didn't understand it. But I was thinking may be it was for "to go". I never order had "to go" here so I don't know. But for dine in, I come here all the time and it is great.“

“Yangmani Korean BBQ delivers an incredible dining experience with its high-quality meats and flavorful tofu soup. The marinated short ribs are tender and delicious, while the tofu soup is rich and perfectly spiced. The fresh banchan and attentive service make the meal even more enjoyable. For a cozy and satisfying Korean BBQ experience, Yangmani is a great choice!“

“A place where I could soothe my stomach with Korean food when I felt tired of American food.
There is a 90 minute time limit
You can freely order from the menu during any given time. However, the menu may be limited depending on the type of set requested.
While we were eating, we had birthday parties at 4 tables (including ours haha).
You can hear Kpop and taste a variety of meats in a lively atmosphere.
The waiting line may be long during meal times, so be sure to make a reservation before visiting.“

“I got Tteok-bokki to go at this establishment a few weeks ago. The inside is very nicely arranged and clean. The music playing was great.
The Tteok-bokki was very good. The rice cakes were chewy and spicy but not overbearingly spicy. They had just the right amount of flavor.
Overall I'd recommend this place.“

“I tried their BOSSAM and Seafood Pancakes. Both were delicious!! The side food was so good too. Especially the kimchi. I feel like their foods are very tasty and fresh. I want to come back soon again.

The service was okay, there was only one person handling the hall. And we had to wait a little. Not saying it was bad but it could be better if there was another person helping.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Oden soup is super delicious & not spicy which is original style- i am Japanese/Korean - because LA chef came this location??
Fried chicken smaller than LA Hanshin pocha so more good & yammy - in old Korean / Japanese style we prefer Hen rather than chicken. DIY rice ball so so good !! Tomato Eggs is also good( hard to make it in Home)but always tomato sauce side is better. I can’t eat spicy foods because Paik’s spicy foods r really spicy so not try with me.

Vegetarian options: Many Seafood menu but spicy

Parking: Lunch time weekday is ok
But dinner time & weekend crazy parking“

“Ib is an incredible server and always is attentive to my table. He’s super friendly and made the night a good time. Food was great and soju was great as always. The vibe here is amazing and everyone should try it for sure! 100% recommend!“

“This small family owned restaurant is take out only. We usually order crispy, korean bbq and soy garlic with the pickled radish. It’s a bit pricey but it tastes delicious and flavorful. They now serving lunch special for $10.95, if you want soda just add $1.“

“I came to hungry bull dog restaurant in diamond bar and it was soo good. I ordered a few dishes like the k style corn dog with pepper jack cheese and sausage, katsu with side of curry, bulgogi beef bulldog bowl, and lastly.. the kimchi fried rice. It was so much food and I loved eating inside their cute restaurant.“

“tasty!

A traditional Korean family restaurant, the side dishes can have a homemade flavor that is different from other restaurants.

The food was served slowly, and there was unlimited rice for free. I ordered two extra bowls of spicy fried pork rice! Delicious and filling“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“The taste of the food in this place is really delicious, I have returned too many times and I never tire of trying the tofu soups that offer without a doubt the best place for you to choose to go to eat alone or with your family, the service is super nice I give it 10/10“

“This is a soondubu (spicy silky soft tofu soup) restaurant like BCD chain. You can order combo menu with a meat or fish entree with a version of soondubu soup. You can select the spicy level and toppings for the soup. I thought the soup is really good but the meat dishes except for the LA rib were too sweet. Ban Chan (side dishes) were just average. For Diamond Bar I think this outlet is fine. There is plenty of parking in the shopping mall lot.

Parking: Plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor with wheelchair ramp.“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“I have ordered takeout from Seoul Haus multiple times. Takeout orders are consistently packaged well with all the expected items, such as banchan (side dishes), utensils, and napkins. The food was also very good. I do order a variety of menu items, but one of my main go-to dishes is their sul-long-tang (oxtail bone soup). It is one of their best soups. It may not be a well-known Korean dish like Kbbq or Korean fried chicken, but in my opinion, it is one of the best Korean comfort foods.

There aren’t many restaurants near my home that have sul-long-tang, so it’s really nice to have a restaurant that does it well just down the street from me. The soup broth has a rich, deep flavor. The color of the broth is a clear indicator of its quality. The meat in the soup, which seems to be brisket, is always good quality.

One of the main indicators of a superior Korean restaurant is the variety and freshness of the banchan (side dishes) they provide. Takeout orders generally only have a couple of standard banchan (unless you ask), but if you eat in the restaurant, a few more banchan come with your meal.

Seoul Haus is by far the best and most authentic Korean restaurant in Chino Hills. The service is also consistently good. Whether I’m getting takeout or eating in, the staff are always polite and welcoming. The restaurant serves great food at good prices in a very clean environment.“

“This side dish shop is the best I've ever been to. It tastes more Korean than Korea, and the quality of the kimbap in particular is sky-high. Keto kimbap without rice is new and healthy. This place has become a place I must visit every time I pass by.“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“This restaurant is truly delicious. All the side dishes and main dishes are incredibly tasty and generously portioned. The servers are friendly, but it took almost until the end of the meal to get the rice bowl we requested. In terms of food, it's top-notch, but service-wise, it's average.“

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

“My husband and I usually buy homemade kimchi, today we ventured to buy in this restaurant and we came back a second time this same day to buy more kimchi because it is delicious and we also stayed to eat there 2 amazing kimchi-jjigae.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for such wonderful original Korean food. Please don't change!
We loved it, so we will be back soon!
Infinite blessings ?“

“If you want to drink Korean soup, this restaurant is definitely the first choice. It tastes very good. Although there are only four side dishes, they all taste good. The purple rice is also delicious. The highlight is definitely the big pot of beef bones, potatoes and Rice cake, tastes very good, but the price is a bit expensive“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“Just my daughter-in-law and me, spent our quality time well and satisfied. They were so delicious, except the pickles. We both planned to be back again.“

“Located on a less visited side of the plaza, there's this Korean restaurant that has fair prices food and portions.

Standard to all Korean restaurant, we were served with various side dishes which were pretty good flavor breakers for the food that was coming in.

We ordered a cold noodle dish, a Tripe/Brisket Glass noodle dish, and the premium bossam.

The staff was kind enough to inform us how to eat the premium bossam, providing lettuce to create a mixture wrap.

Alternating between the bossam and brisket was a easy break of flavor between the two, and you would quickly devour both in no time.

I wouldn't say there was anything in particular that stood out from this place, but sometimes you don't need a WOW place to eat at, and instead a quickly seated restaurant for some comfy food is all you need.“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“Best duck in the Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills area. We always order duck served 3 ways - soup, sliced peking duck with thin wrap and green onions, and deep fried duck bones. While you’re there get some of the crispy pork belly too .“

“This is a traditional Korean style restaurant. It specializes in goat soup. I also recommend the sundae assortment. All the Korean dishes here are worth trying. The owner is pretty and takes great care of her customers. The restaurants in this commercial complex have been in business for a long time and are steady. There is also a boba place right next door where you can go for dessert.“

“Second time eating here when I stop by the super H Mart. Food always comes out fresh and tasty. Only positive things to say about this establishment. Steam buns and dumplings are my go to choice. Definitely be back again to try other dishes.“

“Went on a lunch date with my cousin. Thanksgiving left overs weren’t enough for us lol!

Parking: They’re located in the corner of a plaza. Free parking lot. We couldn’t find a spot within their area, so we parked near the grocery store.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a very casual, warm, & welcoming environment. They also have a small space. There’s a decent amount of seating.

Service: Once you walk in, you’ll be greeted and asked whether you’d like to dine in, take out or pick up. We decided to dine in. Shout out to Jesse & James! They were very knowledgeable about the menu, courteous, and attentive! We ordered via the tablet and paid at the register in the end.

What we ordered:

1) Combo B - We decided to share the Yupdduk (jjajang spice level). This came with boiled eggs and veggie fries and sweated rice balls on the side. The veggie fries had the perfect crisp, the rice balls tasted as expected, and the boiled eggs were cooked well. The sauce was absolutely flavorful! The rice cakes were very fulfilling! Make sure to immediately mix the cheese!

2) Boneless Chicken Feet (appetizer) - We were told this was one of their popular appetizer. We ordered this mild. Their special sauce was also flavorful! The chicken feet were cooked well. Although I’m not sure what makes this boneless bc I bit into small pieces of bone .. lol.

3) Spam Mayo Rice Bowl (appetizer) - Another popular appetizer recommended to us. We really enjoyed this! Can’t go wrong with a classic dish!

4) Fish Cake Soup - My cousin wanted something soupy. The soup wasn’t too salty. It came with a generous amount of fish cakes. Perfect for the cold weather.

5) Salted Caramel Milk Tea w/ boba (100% sweet) & Mango Green Tea w/ Lychee jelly (0% sweet) - I really enjoyed my drink! The boba was okay .. some pieces were chewy and some were hard. We were told the Mango Green Tea already has syrup, so she didn’t want anymore sugar. It was still a bit sweeter than she’d like, but she did enjoy the lychee jelly!

Pricing: The prices are fair $$, especially for the amount that you get. Everything was so flavorful, rich, and fulfilling.“

“Love this place.

Service isn't great. Almost nonexistent if you sit in one of the two outside tables.

The atmosphere is very casual. No money spent here.

But the food? Fantastic. So worth it.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“The food was really good, especially the spicy pork belly. It was the best meat I think. And their cilantro onion salad is really tasty too.

Staff is very kind and helpful and it doesn’t take long to get the attention of a server and get help as well which is awesome.

The only bad thing is ventilation. It gets really smoky eventually when it’s busy and the smoke stings your eyes a lot so it eventually got really uncomfortable. We asked if it was ok to open the back door we were next to in order to clear the smoke. They should just have the back door always open since their ventilation is having some issues unsure if it’s unable to keep up or what exactly but they should just keep the back door open and it completely solves the problem. I’d rather deal with my legs being chilly from time to time than my eyes burning and stinging and being unable to see

Kid-friendliness: I really appreciated that there are high chairs available and the staff was extremely kind and even though my baby made a mess throwing food on the floor when I went to go pick it up they told me it was ok that they sweep the floors anyway and I don’t have to do that. So it’s very family friendly and they have lots of food options that my 11 month old could eat too which was awesome since sometimes it can be difficult to find something that is baby friendly since he doesn’t have all his teeth“

“This is my favorite Korean restaurant!“

“Good comfort food. The stone pot was delish and came out so so hot. It was still steaming at the end of the meal. I had a lot of leftover and the side dishes were fresh and tasted good.The two ladies were patient with me on all my questions about the menu and the sauces. I was expecting them to be mean since so many reviews said they were but they were really nice and I came within the hour of closing and didn't feel rushed.I ordered the stone pot galli and the galbi combo. Both were good and the meat was not over cooked. Total for both dishes came out to almost $80“

“We had the Spicy Blue Crab Stew and Seng Bulgogi. Our waiter cooked the Seng Bulgogi right at our table. Don’t miss out on wrapping the bulgogi in rice paper or pickled radish—it adds an extra layer of deliciousness. The portions are generous, and the banchans are amazing!“

“You can see the boss's persistence and attentiveness everywhere: from the water cup to the button instructions for hot and cold water; from the cleanliness of the toilet to the placement of paper towels; the store is really clean, the materials and seats of the dining tables and chairs... …marvelous“

“This place is located in the plaza where Tokyo Central Market is located. The lunch special menu was very extensive. I tried the pig hock rice dish and it was decent, but the lean portion of the pork was bit tough to chew. Each dish came with a salad, but no dressing?!? There were also a good variety of hot pots for $15, which nowadays is reasonable. The service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it was a good lunch and we will return to try other items.

Parking: Inside of the Tokyo Central Market plaza.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair here.“

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

“A nice place for Korean comfort food. Their food was delicious. I particularly liked jajjangmyeon. The seafood noodle was not very spicy and it’s good for me! It comes with seeet and sour pork as combo. My server speaks English well and I didn’t have cold sweat when trying to communicate with servers like most Korean restaurants I’ve been to.“

“A legit Hawaiian food spot, I haven't had a good garlic shrimp plate in CA until now (it reminds me of Giovanni's shrimps). Also, I tried their crunchy Gojujang fried chicken and beef ribs and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend these dishes as a first timer here and wash it down with Dole pineapple slushy.“

“I discovered Namu Kitchen on accident and I’m SO glad I did. This was my first time having Korean breakfast and it’s now one of my all time favorites. For my first visit, I had their breakfast plate, a delightful and balanced meal, featuring fluffy scrambled eggs with savory mushrooms, a fresh mixed greens salad, crispy kale, sweet strawberries and blueberries, and a satisfying sausage. The whole grain toast with tangy orange jam ties it all together. Paired with the cozy atmosphere and friendly service, this thoughtfully prepared plate makes for a wholesome and enjoyable breakfast experience. Highly recommended! And shout out to Juan for the great service! Thank you!!!“

“Yong moon lu is the best. I would go everyday if I could! The yangjang pi was the best I’ve ever had with just enough spice from the mustard. It was delicious as leftovers too (the portions were huge - we had leftovers for days). The fried chicken was really good too. Even better than the sweet and sour pork, which is typically my favorite. We were so full but still enjoyed the jjajangmyeon and jjampong. The candied sweet potato they gave at the end as a free dessert was absolutely delightful. I wish they sold it! It’s so good. Not too sweet (the best Asian compliment). The staff are extremely fast, helpful, and very hard working. We got great service. Can’t wait to go again! Try to go early because they have a huge wait but.. it’s also worth the wait. Parking lot is small-ish so find parking elsewhere on the street“

“Best Korean street food restaurant in Chino Hills!! It's our favorite spot!! Chef Kenny's cooking is always on point. Servers (I'd name everyone but some of them are sadly gone) are always so attentive and welcoming, including the owner Jack who also acknowledges us when he is there. It makes us feel special when they remember their regulars. Love the vibe here and would at least come once a week with no regrets!! See you soon again ya'll :)“

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

“분위기짱 안주맛도 일품 ...“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“
