40 Best Korean Restaurants near San Pedro

“Four of us ate dinner at Flame Broiler. We had the chicken and beef bowls, everyone agreed that the food was great. I will definitely come back and eat again.

Parking: This location is in the Park Plaza shopping center with plenty of shared parking. We had no problem finding a parking spot close to the front door.“

“If you’re craving authentic Korean BBQ in the South Bay — especially Korean-style grilled beef intestines (gopchang) — this is the place to go.

One thing that really stands out to me is how clean and well-prepared the gopchang is. Korean-style gopchang is known for its thorough cleaning and careful preparation, and I truly felt a sense of safety and quality here. That attention to detail makes a big difference.

All of the side dishes were excellent as well — everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced.

I’d definitely love to come back here often with friends!“

“The food here is Top Notch! My favorite is the #13 Gamjatang and #16 Wooguji Galbitang. Soups are flavorful and loaded with lots of meat! They don't skimp on the ingredients here! Love their kimchi!

Restaurant is clean and spacious with bright lighting.“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Just visited for the 1st time, seen the items they had posted on the window, it looked so good I decided to try it out and man I dont regret it. I ordered a bowl with spicy chicken and kimchi and man that dish was so good better then I had in mind that I am forsure going to come back. Just got to find parking tbh because its next to the court house but the food is delicious“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I travel far ... just to have my pre birthday lunch.. thank you so much for such courteous attention and most delicious food 😋“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I can honestly say this barbecue chicken was perfection from the first bite to the last. The meat was tender, juicy, and cooked all the way through without losing any of its natural flavor. The smoky aroma hit me before I even took a bite, and the sweet-tangy BBQ sauce clung to every piece like a delicious glaze. It had just the right balance of char on the outside for that satisfying grill taste, without being overdone.

Every bite was a mix of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet, making it clear that whoever prepared it knows their way around a grill. Paired with a side of fresh cornbread and coleslaw, it was the kind of meal that makes you want to come back for seconds… and thirds.

If you’re looking for barbecue chicken that’s flavorful, tender, and cooked to absolute perfection, this is it.“

“(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!!?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🥪🥪.....“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“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.“

“Moon Bowls in Long Beach is a total gem! I ordered a custom veggie bowl during my all-fruits-and-veggies cleanse, and it was exactly what I needed—fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. I love that they offer customizable options so you can stick to your goals without compromising taste. As Ms. Long Beach, I’m always on the lookout for healthy and delicious local spots, and Moon Bowls is now at the top of my list. Highly recommend for anyone looking for clean, plant-based eats in Long Beach!

“I don’t understand why there are so many bad reviews. I was actually worried about the undercooked meat comment because I am pregnant. Everything was perfect and i didnt have to ask for anything different. I asked for extra sauce and he just gave it too me happily. Also the restroom was available to use which was great for me. I got the half and half plate with extra extra avocado. Highly recommend !“

“I was craving the black bean noodles but didnt want to drive all the way to KTown. This place hits the spot. Good quality and flavor. Fresh ingredients. Not too salty or oily. We also tried the Shrimp Fried rice which was 10/10. The sweet and sour pork was served separate from the sauce which is perfect because then it doesnt get soggy. The pieces were perfectly fried in clean oil (you can tell if its been sitting around...these were made FRESH!). And best of all, the gentleman at the counter is always SO friendly! Definitely worth a trip even though its in a food court, don't knock it.“

“I feel ashamed for not trying this spot out earlier! Finally got bored of our local lunch staples, and ecstatic that I can bring this one to the group! The sweet & spicy wings were amazing, and the kimbap was delicious! Ingredients tasted fresh and service was quick, especially for lunch! No complaints here, will definitely be returning!“

“It was nice to visit the Flame Broilerrestaurant in Carson. And I had a good experience.When I entered the restaurant, It wascrowded. I had to wait for orderingmy foods.I ordered a chicken bowl with white rice and vegetables for takeout.After that, I waited for 15 minutes, and my order was ready.Then, I tried a chicken bowl. I couldtasted Asian flavor sauce, which wastasty meal. I loved vegetables, which were broccoli, carrots, green onionand cabbage. They were delicious. And the steamed rice was just cooked right.I really enjoyed the chicken bowl.I recommend everyone to Flame Broiler restaurant in Carson.They have the best chicken ?!!!“

“Their organic tofu bowl is delicious. Veggies cooked just right. Consistent quality, I get takeout from this location a couple times a week when I need something healthy and satisfying. Chicken and beef bowls also delicious. Great low key neighborhood lunch spot with a few tables for dining in, clean and welcoming. Closed Sundays.

Vegetarian options: Organic tofu, fresh veggies (carrot, cabbage, broccoli), brown rice. Mini bowls available.“

“Nice selection. Good quality“

“Working from out of town and was craving some good chicken. Found this place and will be a for sure place I go to when I am out this way. I got the spicy original wings since it was my first time I got 8 just to see how i would like them and they did not dissappoint. The size of the wings were big I filled up on 5 and normally I can eat a lot. I got a side of fries with some ranch and their secret sauce (wasn’t my favorite) as well the hot spicy sauce (was delicious). Can’t wait to try more on the menu. First time having Korean chicken. Totally recommend this place.“

“I've been coming here for decades, a tradition every year around Christmas/New Years my family would come out here and feast! The food never disappoints and there isn't a single place I've been across the states that compares to the meat we get here. Wishing the new owners a very happy new year, I already can't wait to come back again.

Definitely recommend putting in a reservation if you're planning on stopping by, it can get very busy!“

“불맛 짬뽕 맛집~~“

“Amazing customer service!
We ordered all you can eat and everything was really delicious.
They even have offer a vegetarian all you can eat for a special price. We thought it was really considerate.
Plenty of side dishes as well.“

“Local Favorite. Excellent Customer Service and Delicious Food. Fast turn around. Owner ran / present. *completely different experience from Pho Hana on Hawthorne (Torrance) All staff are helpful, polite and friendly. Highly recommend. My pho craving was satisfied without having to drive all the way out to Gardena / Westminster.“

“I got the chicken and beef plate. I waited for about 5 minutes and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size when it came out. Everything was fresh and tasted great! Definitely one of the best budget friendly Asian fusion spots I’ve been to. Worth its money big time!“
