12 Best Korean Restaurants near San Marcos

“Festejando el cumpleaños de mi hijo súper rico todo!! Las ensaladas riquísimas“

“We've been here a couple of times and did is good, they have substantial sized dogs and we like the variety that they have in coatings. My husband likes spice and I don't so there's plenty to offer for both. The Kimchi fries are good. The pineapple slush is really good. Only one guy working and he was very efficient, maybe the owner, not sure. The only down side for us is that we like eating at a place and don't do "to go" orders and there's a couple or so tables but that's it. It is not very inviting for dine in. So once in a great while for lunch maybe but to go out for a fun dinner, not so much.“

“The manager was very kind and the food was so so delicious ? We got to try out several dishes from the menu for lunch (we had mild, soy garlic, and gold sparkling chicken strips, spicy rice cakes, kimbap (new on menu), and a hot dog. We could tell they were all fresh and we just LOVED the quality and taste of the foods. Padadak is probably my favorite restaurant in SD and I'll be coming back whenever I crave the food again ?

(I would attach pictures of the lunch we had but we were busy digging in, sorry!??smelled too good)“

“I liked this place! It's OK as far as price goes and a better option of mall food compared to the other places here. Owner is nice and menu is just the essentials as far as Korean food goes. We got the Bulgogi tacos which were really good and the fries were decent. Potstickers were freshly made and tasted good too. Would recommend this place for a quick bite!“

“Reviewers note: This review is ONLY on the fries.

Good fries to split with others.

The fries were nice and crispy when they came out.

The texture of the fries was good, and so was the warmth of the fries,

8.5/10 fries.“

“These are the best wings around!! Always made fresh to order and are so crispy and tasty. The staff is helpful and verify you have placed an order when picking up so no one but you gets your order. If wings are your thing, you gotta get them here!“

“Service was excellent. I came with my son we’d gone to another bbq place but felt ignored and lost even when it was early here we were attended to got to choose more meats at a time than the other place which allowed us to eat as we pleased. The very polite young lady serving our table was Amazing. Overall awesome experience and great food!“

“Last week was the first time we visited this fine restaurant. But It is definitely not the last. We enjoyed the evening very much with the good service, with the exceptional dishes and fine drinks and with the decent price. We will surely go back there again.“

“The fish here is definitely fresh. We had a great experience. In terms of sushi, I actually feel it can be hard to find a spot that I really like in socal. This spot just does it for me. The rolls are bigger than many places I’ve been which reflects the price point but you get what you pay for. We shared just two rolls and some edamame and I’m full. Each bite is pretty massive.“

“I have been going to this restaurant for five years, not once has it ever disappointed absolutely love it. Whenever someone asks me for a sushi restaurant or really any restaurant this is where I always say to go.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly waiters and waitresses. never encountered foul language from anyone ever. But a bit pricey for young children. I do believe forks are available upon request, if not they have chopstick helpers that allow anyone to use chopsticks with ease.“

“Casual gem with amazing food, lots of options and reasonably priced!

Vegetarian options: Lots of options and diverse vegetables

Parking: As with any main location, peak times would be more challenging, we got there 5:30 and found a spot 2 blocks away“

“On the search for the best korean barbecue around and this place is definitely on the top of my list! Love the variety of meats and also sides. The meat was really flavorful and the sides were amazing. Only flaw I had with the place was their lack of good sauces. Place is very clean and was ran smoothly. Would definitely see myself coming back soon!“
