Korean Restaurants near South Gate

“Delicious and nutritious and we got a chicken bowl and Thanks to Jaime the manager for helping us.“

“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.“

“Love this place! The food is very authentic and high quality meat. The servers are also very tentative. We ordered the small beef combo. The soup at the end is very tasty but we are way too full. It can serve at least 3-4 ppl. Def recommended!“

“GREAT FOOD ALWAYS~ BEEN COMING TO THIS RESTAURANT FOR DECADES~ MAMA'S COOKING IS THE BEST!!!! Pollack Casserole Steamed Cod Fish Seasoned Pork W/Veggie Seasoned Oysters must try~♡♡♡♡♡“

“Hanu BBQ is fantastic. I've been here three times and each time the food is great. They take reservations for large groups and there's a karaoke place right next door, for an easy night out. There are cute little robots that bring you your food too.

Nina and Mark were both amazing- very attentive and even taught us how to make somaek. Would definitely recommend this place as a great option for a group outing.“

“There were a lot of reviews saying the service was bad, expensive, etc., so I was wondering whether to come or not, but when I came, I tried the meat and it was delicious.
It's not expensive, the soybean paste stew and steamed egg are very delicious, and the cold noodles are highly recommended!! ?“

“Delicious all you can eat Korean barbecue!! Will be back!“

“Such friendly staff and one of the best hot sizzling Bibimbap dishes i could wish for!

They server it with a complimentary set of korean starters that are incredibly good.
I am always excited to come back to la for this Restaurant!“

“The smell of fire is amazing. The raw meat is fresh. Even though I had leftovers, I wrapped them up and ate them slightly warmed the next day, they still tasted fresh. However, if you don't get there early and get a seat, you may have to wait a long time.“

“Good food and fast service.“

“This is a place I have been frequenting for a long time. The meat quality is good, and I recommend the tripe hotpot as it is the most delicious.
The parking lot is small, but there is plenty of street parking space in the neighborhood.“

“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!“

“Tl;Dr: Kid friendly and delicious food (kid approved!). This may be our new spot now - jinsol is good but we've gone too many times and it feels a bit too heavy (we always feel thirsty/bloated after eating there). The combination of naengmyeon + gukbap here helps cut the heaviness.

Waiter was sooooo nice to our toddler. He brought out flashing toys and a hand fan for him and gave us an extra white rice on the house since we said he would eat that over purple (he recommended the purple rice for us). Our son ate so much of the galbi tang with cabbage. We enjoyed it a lot too, but maybe we enjoyed it even more because he ate so well. The naengmyeon was also delicious. Overall a great experience. we will definitely be back.“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“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!“

“The OG. the tastiest. the smokiest. the best. don't wear your favorite new sweater. ladies tie your hair back. and get down.“

“The best AYCE Korean bbq restaurant. Meat quality is top-notch. They grill the meat for you but still allow you to enjoy the food at your own speed. I tried almost every meat and my favorite is the marinated beef rib with bone. It melted in my mouth. I love it and will come back.👍🏻“

“This place is a gem! I was craving something with a little bit of everything so I got the bibimbap, and beef plate with shrimp tempura and spicy cucumber. Needless to say I was blown away by how great the quality was - the owners are a kind and welcoming couple. Definitely making this spot a go-to!“

“This is the K town classic. It first opened in 1982. Since then it became the place to get authentic Korean BBQ and signature dongchimi noodle. I still remember the first time I tried their noodle and I was so blown away. When it comes to dongchimi noodles, they are on the top tier.“

“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.“

“We came here very earlier and it was just open. We never tried this before, the owner is very friendly and introduced everything to us. We tried the intestine combo, and we very recommend the combination of abomasum, mountain chain and large intestine. The texture of abomasum and mountain chain are very chewy, and combine with the large intestine, it is very oily smooth. It is definitely worth a try!“

“amazing food and good for family“

“In winter, it’s loach stew! I came here to eat loach stew, which was plentiful and good for body health. I come here every year before winter to eat it, and the ladies and uncles were all friendly and the service was good! Eating it with neat side dishes and neat kimchi is the icing on the cake, and it's great for warming up in cold LA :) Instead of loach stew, I personally recommend loach bulgogi :)“

“First time here my family like it especially unlimited brisket“

“I'm a 27-year-old From Busan Jinseong soup lover.
It's quite clean and delicious here.
Kimchi and kkakdugi are the basics of a soup restaurant, and the basics are solid.
10 pieces of meat in soup? More than half of the soup and rice bowls were covered + Speaking of service, I guess the owner couldn't stand the water cups and side dish bowls being empty so he kept refilling them.
(However, note that there is no onion, pepper, garlic, and ssamjang sauce)
The prices are the same as other Korean restaurants in the US.

I’m from gookbab city Busan

i’m not this owners son swear to god
this is place is real“

“This spot is within a food hall and I love these setups because of the amount of food options available.

I ordered their bulgogi burrito with no rice along with their Korean spicy popcorn chicken. The burrito was phenomenal and one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. A bulgogi bowl but put into a wrap and the popcorn chicken was solid. Overall both items were delicious.

I’d definitely come back to try their other menu items and overall it was an excellent lunch!

***update***
I also tried their make your own salad bowl with salmon, chicken and bulgogi. It was excellent and overall delicious bowl with a great sauce.“

“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!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“GREAT food!!!! They're fairly new, so I hope they don't compromise on flavor later down the line. First, I had their small chicken katsu box. The second time, I had their new sweet chili shrimp katsu, and that was even better!!!!! Employees are always so friendly and for the quality of the food the price and turnaround time is worth it. Highly recommend“

“Great qualities of meat selection and a bunch of other types of excellent qualities of food. Definitely a place to go to celebrate and for special occasions. The beef, especially the galbi, the shrimp, takoyaki, and everything is fantastic. We can grab most of the food and the premium food came out very fast. Will definitely come back.“

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

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“I came here with my family to eat and everything was perfect. The lady greeted us with a smile as soon as we walked in and we were seated immediately. We ordered EunDaeGoo Jorim and Gajaemi and they were delicious. Definitely recommend this place and became one of my favorites.“

“Don't come to JunTong expecting something fancy. Instead, it is a casual restaurant which serves up comfort food like pork rib noodle soup (galbitang). The flavor of the soup is very balanced and tasty. I also liked the kimchi and the radish appetizers; they were high quality.

Location is hard to find parking, but anyone can take the bus!“

“Ordered Package #1 & it was more than enough for two people especially with all the banchan. Everything was super tasty & the staff was very friendly. Would come back here & order dishes a la carte if just with one other person.“

“The chicken is always BOMB-TASTIC from this place, & they are speedy quick, too! I placed a pretty good sized order, less than an hour before their pick up "window" closed, & they still had it ready to go in plenty of time! They are always so sweet when I go to pick up, too, & will always give me extra pickled radishes! YUMMM! The savory aroma of their amazing chicken filled my car on my short drive home, & I couldn't wait to dive in like a,SAVAGE! :-P Thank you, b.b.q. chicken, for satisfying this cavegirl's craving tonight!

Parking: It's in a strip mall with other restaurants, on a busy corner, & I have seen the lot packed during the day. Parking is tight there during the day, & due to the busy corner, it's tough to get in & out of. However, I normally do my b.b.q. chicken runs in the evenings after half of the businesses in that strip mall have closed, so parking isn't an issue!“

“I recommend bossam here. It has a buttery flavor and softness.
It's really delicious ? It's the best combination with makgeolli
The atmosphere is good, the food is delicious, the servers are very friendly, and the owner is also very nice. This is my favorite bar??“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“excelente Servicio.. Satisfecha 👏❤️“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“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...“

“I want to say that I have found another authentic and delicious Korean restaurant. Everyone of us had a great time eating here. and parking was convenient with options next to the plaza. The food quality is very good! The service is great! I also appreciated the staff's honesty; I had forgotten my jacket, and when I returned two days later, they had kept it safe for me. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.“

“It was the most delicious cheonggukjang I've ever tasted. What's a bit disappointing is that I wish there was a menu that younger children would like. For example, if there is something like bulgogi or pork belly, I think I will visit that place more.“

“Wow! The store was spacious and clean, so my first impression was good. I tried the hangover soup that was recommended to me, and it tasted similar to what I used to eat in Korea. In Korea, people eat a lot of hangover soup or soup with rice to ease their stomachs the day after drinking. It was delicious.

The haejangguk had a broth base with just the right amount of cabbage and meat, so it was spicy and not too spicy.

This is a restaurant where you can eat the Seonjihaejangguk and Sundae that you saw in Korean dramas. Go and try it once!! I always want to visit again.

I got the feeling that the store was clean, and as expected, the food was also prepared cleanly and well.“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“The spicy brisket soup was satisfying. Not too salty and not too spicy. The glass noodles were the perfect chewy texture. The purple rice was amazing as well. The side dishes were fresh and crispy. I especially liked the kimchi. Highly recommend the dumplings. Hard to find this quality.“

“Honestly it felt like Korea - clean, modern, everything delicious. Really good portions, too! We got the mille feuille beef thing and it was really fun and the dipping sauce was delicious! Dolsot bibimbap came in a low, wide stone pot providing a lot of surface area to make crispy rice and keep it warm. Banchan was good! Kiddo crushed the fish cakes and japchae which are usually bland and left aside. Will come back!

Kid-friendliness: High chairs, booster seats and ajumas who get you ?“

“Busy and noisy -- but very tasty. I like a place that takes you at your word when you say you like spicy food.“

“Absolutely enjoyed this restaurant. Every time I have come it has been slow. However they do get a good amount of pick up orders.

Delicious Mandu or dumplings. I ordered shrimp and sweet pork mandu. They were pan fried and so good. I’ve also had their kimchi mandu. You get some yellow pickled daikon and a container of water, but they also offer soft drinks.

Some of their tables are really cute. They have butterflies. They have a central communal table and some booths as well.

Usually they play really good K-pop but since there aren’t usually many customers eating in they really don’t have much to offer if you’re looking for great ambiance.

Meter parking and parking in a structure available. The structure is underneath the shopping center.“
