10 Best Korean Restaurants in San Gabriel

“Located in the Blossom Food Hall, this was the former Workaholic that made Korean fusion dumplings.

I'd recommend their Manduyu Special since their Rice 2 Meet You is pretty good, but consists of mostly meat and a lot of rice (great portions!) Their Mandu is definitely the best that they would have.

Food is prepared quickly“

“Came here recently and really enjoyed the hearty, flavorful soup—it had the perfect amount of spice and richness, with fresh ingredients like tofu, green onions, and tender shredded meat. It felt like true comfort food and was definitely the highlight of the meal for me.

I also tried the bossam (steamed pork with tofu and veggies). While it was presented beautifully and came with generous portions, the pork itself was on the dry side for my taste, so it didn’t quite hit the same level as the soup.

Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. I’d definitely come back for the soup again!“

“My favorite place for traditional korean soups and stews. You can tell all the sides are home-made and can taste how rich the broths are. The portion sizes are also great for the price. Would highly recommend as one of the best Korean spots in the SGV.“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“My plant friends shared a birthday lunch here at Young Dong Tofu. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great lots of parking. We will come back again. We highly recommend this place.“

“Pretty good Korean BBQ spot with an all-you-can-eat option in LA. I really enjoyed the food here. The meat was good, high quality, well-marinated, and cooked up perfectly on the grill. Everything we tried had great flavor. Personally, I really liked bulgogi and cow tongues. They were sweet and flavorful. The side dishes and sauces were good too. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

The restaurant itself is beautiful. There are lots of tables, and the vibe is pretty cool, without being too loud. I really enjoyed it. We arrived around 8 PM and ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a table, which is okay since we just walked in. There is also pretty nice area for waiting. The grill in the restaurant worked perfectly.

The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. They came by our table often to check in, refill sides, and ask if we wanted to order more meat, which I really appreciate. They also took the time to explain the different menu options, which was great.

It costs around $50 per person, and I would say it’s definitely worth it for the quality of food and service you get.

Overall, it’s a great spot for Korean BBQ. I’ll definitely come back if I will be in that area and will be craving for some Korean BBQ. Very good nice!!!“

“Our family loves to eat Korean foods. This place is a good one because you have many choices to choose from. The portion is pretty big so you can share it. Good service, very clean and most of all the foods are delicious. I highly recommend it.“

“All you can eat for $40👏🏽👏🏽“

“This Taiyaki + Ice Cream place is at the level of other giants such as SomiSomi. The soft serve has a perfect texture (I tried the Pure Milk flavor with a Taiyaki on top, the Taiyaki being filled with Nutella), the service is quick and efficient, and the store was crowded when my two friends and I went on a Saturday evening. The ambiance is great too, there are so many pictures showing what the options are like, and there are clearly-illustrated menus spread throughout the restaurant. The toppings are available for the customers to grab and add to their ice cream as they wish, and everything, from the Oreo crumbs to the Banana chips are great. You can truly feel that every single item in this store is, indeed, made With Love.“

“Place is awesome!! Our waiter Peter gave us some great recommendations, made us feel really welcomed and remembered us on our second visit a month later. Great neighborhood “goto” place a good meal and drinks!!“
