50 Best Korean Restaurants near Sherman Oaks

“They have a great $16 lunch special. Portion on the bowls are huge for the $16. I was the only customer and they made my food fresh. The beef in the beef bowl didn’t have much flavor, I added sriracha on it myself and it got more flavor. I’d probably come back, but the food needs more flavor.“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“Our favorite (non AYCE) Korean bbq (thanks to our friend Heny for the recommendation) Great quality of meat, great service, and great ambiance. So many other options if you’re not feeling Korean Bbq, we like to order their soup and spicy cold noodle. And we love that it’s located in our favorite Madang plaza in Ktown.“

“The all you can eat lunch special is amazzzzing! For $3 more you can upgrade to premium beef sirloin 👌🏽 Honestly, we found this restaurant on a random search and didn’t know what to expect. My friend and I truly enjoyed our lunch here today. Irene was so welcoming. Thank you!“

“全世界最好喝的牛骨湯！拜託一定要嘗試，大火久燉絕不馬虎！太喜歡了！
The best soup ever! And the rice is really good as we’ll even take-out. My friend said their kimchi is authentic and surprisingly delicious(I don’t eat kimchi so.)The staffs there are welcoming. There are only sells the beef bone soup, after you tried you’ll know why. Because they just want to make a product the best, but they do it! Even though i don’t have soup often,this time i finished it all. It’s really worth visiting again!“

“I went to CheongGiWa with my family of four and ordered raw sirloin, raw galbi, and cold noodles. Ssam vegetables and various Korean side dishes were served as basic, and all the food we ordered was delicious. Both the owner and the staff were kind, and the atmosphere was bright and good because it was remodeled.“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“Was a really fantastic experience. The wait staff was extremely courteous, nice and friendly. The food was delicious- the meat and banchan was extremely fresh- was definitely a fan of their kimchi! Also, they were generous with time. Will definitely be visiting again soon! 감사합니다!“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

The banchan (side dishes) are simple but tasty. The kimchi is just … yum! Whether you are under the weather, feeling like eating something homey, or looking for your next authentic Korean meal, JunTong SulLungTang will most certainly satisfy your cravings!

Overall, JunTong SulLungTang is a not-so-hidden gem for authentic Korean food that won’t disappoint!“

“Nice little spot tucked away in a strip mall. Plenty of parking. Great value items! I had the Ra-Bokki Rice balls. The ramen was very flavorful. Loved dipping the rice balls in the sauce! I will definitely be back to try the other items in the very varied menu.“

“One of the few restaurants that stays open late!

The food is delicious and offers a variety of options. I ordered the 닭도리탕(chickenstew?) combo with 알밥 and soju. The price was $5x, which I think is a great value.
They also served free popcorn and free ice cream !!!

The staff provides good service and super friendly!!! ✌🏻
The atmosphere is great, and they play K-pop music! It feels just like being in a bar in Korea.

There is parking available behind the restaurant, but it's very tight.
- street parking is recommended

My new regular spot ! Highly Recommended 🫶🏼“

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“K-Stop knocks it out of the park, every time. From the friendly welcome to the delicious food, this is a must visit place. I particularly am obsessed with their Bulgogi Kimbap and Iced Coffees. It’s the perfect solution for catering a business lunch or a quick and healthy grab and go to fuel the rest of the day. I HIGHLY recommend!“

“We we looking for something new in the valley and found this spot. We had such a good dinner at K Food Village the other night. It was one of those meals where everyone at the table was happy with what they got. I ordered the bulgogi, and it was exactly how I like it — tender, full of flavor, and not too sweet. My daughter had the bibimbap and really liked it. My wife went for the short rib soup, which came out bubbling hot and was so comforting, especially after a long day. Our other daughter wasn’t super hungry, so she just had the dumplings… crispy on the outside, juicy inside. She polished off the whole plate.

What really stood out, besides the food, was how welcoming and helpful the staff were. They were kind, checked in on us just enough, and made us feel completely at home. The place was clean, laid-back, and had a nice, relaxed vibe. The side dishes were great too — lots of variety and full of flavor.

It’s just nice to find a spot like this in the Valley where the food’s great, the people are nice, and the whole experience feels easy. We’ll definitely be back.“

“loved Sun Ha Jang and their simple menu of duck korean bbq!!! the duck is soo good with the picked sweet onions and salad and the fried rice they make in the leftover duck fat is the perfect ending to the meal. service was warm and can’t wait to go back.“

“They came to Clovis and had amazing service and even better food and drinks!! The two workers were extremely friendly and gave us great things to try for our first time! The tuna mayo bowl and their iced coffee were THE BEST!! Hope they make more visits down here :)“

“The restaurant is such a good vibe. It brings the true Korean culture out within the restaurant and the food. I really enjoyed every single bite. I took eating here at this restaurant. I recommend to everyone that lives in Los Angeles or anyone coming to visit Los Angeles if they want to experience Korean culture in LA.“

“This place is known for their galbi jjeem and I should have tried it. But (a) the portions are huuuge, as in for more than 1 person, maybe up to 4 people, and (b) at $100 it is expensive. I should return with a large group so we can order and share it. There is an option for cheese which the waiter will use a torch at the table to melt and toast it. I've never had galbi jjeem with cheese. Maybe it tastes like a cheeseburger? I'd be willing to try is there was an option to have it on the side, vs fully committing by covering everything with it.

So for this visit I had the sollung tang with tendon. It hit the spot, very creamy and flavorful, and the tendon was soft & tender. I would definitely return for this alone.“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“Came for lunch alone, it was fairly busy around 12:00 to 1:00 pm and got a table. Order the combo dumplings along with fried pork cutlets. The Dumplings were ok, nothing to specials, Loved the pork cutlet comes with barbeque sauce, small salad, and dark rice. The server was nice and polite even though there was a language barrier we managed to easily commuincate. I'll order from here again, but take out only.“

“This is where Koreans eat. We’re not Korean. Authentic, absolutely delicious Korean foods, and the best kimchi we have had on the planet. We don’t usually like kimchi, but this kimchi was good enough to bottle and sell on its own. Sooo good. The soft tofu kimchi dish was divine. The squid was perfect. The galbi was excellent. The kimchi pancake was new to us and absolutely yummy. it was enough for 3 with leftovers, and the perfect accompaniment to the protein dishes. The spicy chickens feet was delicious, though could have used another 20 min of cooking. I don’t recall the many dishes we ordered, and everything and leftovers the next day was scrumptious. The best beer was the gingko, so good. The service was friendly, helpful, attentive, and just the right amount of proactive helpfulness for my party. Parking is in the back, immediately after the front door entrance. The restaurant is dark, with very high, thick booths for privacy. The music was for a young 20-30-something crowd. We would make this a regular hangout if it were nearer our home. We will bring all of our visitors to L.A. here in the future.“

“Pork belly heaven. This place is your go to for 8 varieties of pork belly.“

“The food is really awesome and tasty“

“Tucked away in a plaza in the heart of Los Angeles, HanEuem is the quintessential authentic Korean food serving comfort food and good vibes.

As one of the better places to get raw marinated crab, HanEuem already gets my appreciation and approval. Keep in mind they often run out of the soy sauce marinated crab (bummer, I know!) but their spicy crab isn't bad either.

Their food portions are generous and it truly does taste like comfort Korean food, retaining the authentic flavors while also giving them their own personality.

The place is cozy with sufficient seating for a good amount of people given the size of the place. Being in a plaza, for better or for worse, yes this is yet another valet spot in Ktown.

The service is good, the staff is friendly, and they help you out if needed.

Overall, HanEuem delivers on the promise and is a great spot to grab a meal. Solid 4.5 stars.“

“Foods solid, not much selection.
Recommended for ppl who are feeling a lil sick and need something warm to feel you up 😉

I got the hanbang chicken soup.

Super sizzling hot just like me 😅

Food: 7/10, would come back for occasions when i need something to heal
Atmosphere: no complaints, it’s a restaurant nothing fancy
Service: 👏👍“

“Pardon the pun but you must GO to gogobop. The Korean bowls are delicious, the atmosphere is fun and the location rocks in the center of Westwood.

There's a nice amount of seating, as well as a patio.

Service was awesome and fast by the friendly staff. I enjoyed making my own custom bowl and finishing it off was even better.

Highly recommended.“

“Maru Bowl is the quite frankly the best rice bowl spot in the SFV, maybe even all of Los Angeles. From their bulgogi to their fried tofu, their selection is top-tier quality all across the board. From the first bite, it’s undeniable that each bowl is made with so much love and attention. The owners, Joy and Daniel, are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet and demonstrate the upmost hospitality to all their guests. As a regular for almost 5 years, I will always consider Maru Bowl as my absolute favorite place to eat. Thank you Daniel and Joy for creating such a wonderful and forever-impactful eating establishment. ❤️“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“Traditional, Quality, & NEVER Disappoints! Always satisfied with the food (chicken noodle soup, crab marinade, and dumplings).

Been going here since I was a little kid with family & always filling/satisfied ?

“Ordered a 2 item combo (half and half chicken plus rice cake in rose mara sauce with ramen add on), a half and half chicken order, and a seafood pancake. Our group picked a total of 4 chicken flavors, their original fried chicken, sweet and spicy, habanero garlic chicken, and honey. All of these flavors were very good, the original had a great fried exterior and you could add some of the rose mara sauce from the rice cake to spice it up. The Sweet and spicy chicken was a very light spice, moreso sweet with a syrupy coating on the chicken. The Habanero garlic chicken was spicier if you had a piece of the habanero pepper on it but otherwise, this was an alright choice. The honey chicken was sweet and the syrupy coating was very nice. The rice cake in rose mara sauce with ramen was a mouth watering plate of rice cake, fish cake, glass noodles, and the ramen coated with their creamy and spicy rose mara sauce. This was a big plate to share with a small group. The rice cake and fish cake were chewy and the glass noodles were fun to slurp up. Adding ramen was a good choice as there was plenty of rose mara sauce left to soak up, even some leftover to add to the fried chicken. The seafood pancake was notable for small bite size pieces of calamari and other seafood. It fell apart a bit easily because of the green onion slices that were holding it together. Service was fast, and they were quite patient taking our order. There is a call button installed on the table if you need their attention. The interior is very retro 90s South Korean with brick walls, oversized bench seats and kpop playing in the background. Parking is also adequate with enough above ground parking places. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy a meal with friends together craving Korean style fried chicken.“

“This place is about 40 years old, I'm told by this serving lady qho's been here 27 years. Same owner, same server, same location.
Old wooden log table tells the age.
My mother and I had seafood kalguksoo, dak doritang, and bibimbop.
The food taste of old, unpretentious, clean, flavor with a lot of depth.
Bibimbop namul was good with perfect egg.
Banchans were simple & clean.
This place is a must revisit place. I only regret I didnt know of this place until now.“

“Friendly staff and servers. Good selection. Good meat . They seated us right away . Good parking. First time and if I am in the area again, will definitely eat here again.“

“Tasty food, great atmosphere!“

“Love their food. We had the Stone Pot Bulgogi (nr 15) and Kimchi Fried Rice (nr 20). Hot, delicious, tasty and great portion size. Great value.

The lady working at the counter, I guess she is the owner, is so sweet and friendly.“

“Food was good and for the amount you get, it was a good deal. For 4 adults and 2 children, we were all pretty stuffed. We got combo D that included a wide variety of dishes, which at first we thought wasn't going to be enough, but then it just kept on coming. 2 of my essential banchans were there: a potato dish (salad in this case) and cucumber kimchee. They also had raw shrimp, which was a first for me, it was pretty good.

Seating seemed private with tall dividers, parking wasn't bad at the time I visited. They use table bells for service, which is nice.

Only negative would be at the end, I felt a little rushed to leave, but to be fair, a line was forming and we were mostly done.“

“Wow, so delicious. I wanted some good food for lunch before studying at M3 nearby and this place is tucked into the corner of the same strip mall. The woman was very nice and recommended the Beef Galbi-Tang, which was so delicious and had a perfectly rich broth. It came with good portions of kimchi and radish kimchi, rice, and a dipping sauce for the meat in the soup. I will definitely be ordering here again on chilly days.“

“콩나물국밥 얼큰돼지국밥 너무 맛있어요~“

“Hello! The Trekking Pawns here!
We got the veggie bibimbap and was hoping for a bit more flavor. The sides were nice and we rice cooked very well. Added more of the Korean red spice sauce provided for flavor. Very nicer ladies that helped us!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere“

“I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for 3 years, eating only kimchi sujebi.
I'm posting this because I saw the malicious comments and felt like they were ignoring my favorite restaurant, Kimchi Sujebi.
I eat this soft sujebi in a rich soup because it's refreshing on the inside, and it's the best kimchi sujebi I've had in LA.“

“The best grilled BBQ seafood I ever had. The $80 dish could easily feed 4 people. The grilled jumbo clams, mussels, oysters was the best and have to try 2 dripping sauces. But stayed with one (In red bottle) sauce.“

“店內服務一流，令我心情愉快。“

“Food is always delicious here. We came for an early dinner because I was craving some Soontofu. They give you the usual Korean sides and a little fried fish, you get an egg and crack it into the soup, a bowl of rice and we usually order the beef or spicy pork bulgogi. Craving satisfied! When it is really busy here, service can be a bit stretched but they lve always taken great care of us.“

“Decent all you can eat Korean BBQ in the valley. I ate the premium menu for about 35ish dollars per person and enjoyed the ribeye, brisket, and beef tongue. If you're picky about meat quality there's none all you can eat places in the valley, but this one is decent for all you can eat. I also like the clean and bright atmosphere“

“We were craving Korean fried chicken and discovered Witch's Chicken hidden away inside Galleria Korean grocery store with delicious KFC. They have a cute store front and brand highlighting the location as your mom's favorite fried chicken place. It was not wrong. I noticed while we were waiting there were customers young and old, couples, friends, single people that would either dine there or get take out chicken. They focus on chicken wings, drumsticks and tenders but there are also sides like fries, potato salad or Mac and cheese. We got the wing combo which includes 5 wings, side of fries and potato salad and a soda. We also ordered two drum sticks that were huge. The food was delicious. We got original flavor for the wings and the garlic soy spicy for the drumsticks. It was spicy. All in all, a good recommendation to satisfy your Korean fried chicken crave. Note the dining area is really small as there were maybe 8 tables adjacent to the storefront in a food court type setting inside the grocery store. One major plus, parking is free and convenient in this plaza.“

“I had a great lunch with my family“

“What a wonderful experience. I knew this was gonna be awesome as soon as I walked in. We were quickly greeted and seated. They were playing the kpop demon hunters album....bonus points! Our server Gia gave us wonderful recommendations such as the sweet and sour crispy pork (life changing). We also had seafood noodles with shrimp, squid, and pork! Finally a small bowl of a spicy seafood soup. The flavors were insanely good and food came out quick and hot. Will forsure be back!“
