50 Best Korean Restaurants near Stanton

“Great meat and Gukbap selection. Staff are friendly and kind. A well run family business. I highly recommend it. If one is not Korean and want to experience Korean traditional cuisine without going to Korea this is the place. Come and try why I’m raving over this restaurant!!!“

“Great food, great service! I was confused with the menu at first, but the guy came out and explained everything thoroughly and helped make my decision! Very nice. He helped me pick a keto friendly meal, and it was sooo good! I got the Galbi-Bulgogi plate and the meat was great, nice variety of sides.“

“My parents, who love loach stew, always stop by and eat it when they come to Calico. My parents admit that it is a restaurant that is thicker and better than most loach stew restaurants in Korea. The side dishes are prepared well and with sincerity, and everything is delicious. The servers are all friendly and I don't know if it's the owner, but there is a man there who is really friendly and makes me feel good every time I come.“

“So sad to go back to Dallas where there is NOTHING that compares to the quality of food & service at Mo Ran Gak. This was the best meal, truly. Authentic, high quality, delicious, generous portions, attentive and kind service - I could not have been happier with my experience here! I cannot wait to come back.“

“I can’t believe I just found out about this place! The fact that you can make your own teokbbokki is crazy & all the toppings/sauces/everything is so good!!
I also LOVE their fried soondae & their mini bungeopang is so cute/good!
Cannot recommend it enough!
Service is also excellent 😊“

“First time to my sound chicken with friends the service was excellent , she (the Manager) is very friendly and helpful. The fired chicken are so good crunchy and the french fried so tasty. Definitely will come back highly recommend . A+++++“

“This place lives up to the name. Double smash, fries, spicy pickles -- an absolute knockout. Crispy-edged patties, juicy center, fries that don't quit, and those spicy pickles are a genius touch. Simple menu, done exactly right. My new go-to smashburger spot in OC. Get the double.“

“We love the beef bulgogi, spicy chicken/pork and tofu bowls. The food always tastes great and they’re open until 9 pm. Update. We’ve now have been here once or twice a week since they’ve opened. It’s taste fantastic and travels well to eat at home. I’m sitting here now waiting for my order“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“Wow! I stopped here on a whim on my way to gas station. So glad I did! Portions are huge, so much flavor and chicken is juicy & delicious. The service made me feel so welcomed and appreciated. One of my new favorite spots!!! Thank you!“

“One of the best inari sushi spots I've tried! Everything tasted amazing, the portions were generous, and the prices were hard to beat. The staff made us feel so welcome with their friendly service. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!“

“I was in the area and had missed my lunch so I decided to give it a try.
I got a build your own mini bowl with Beef and Dalcom (spicy&sweet) sauce. As a Korean, I knew this place was going to be good because they use actual kimchi and Korean gochujang sauce. But they also have other toppings and sauces.

The mini bowl felt like Regular size bowl. I am full and satisfied~“

“I’ve been eating at this location for a couple years now and the food is always good. However, today the food was prepared exceptionally well and we loved everything that we had. There were also some new items which was a nice surprise. The employees were very friendly and helpful. St the last minute, I added some additional items and the items came out quicker than expected.“

“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“We came here craving a hearty, authentic meal, and it completely exceeded expectations. We ordered their signature Gamjatang and it was phenomenal. The broth is deeply flavorful, rich, and simmered to perfection with tender pork bones that practically fall off the bone.“

“Hidden gem, great for lunch and they do catering. I ordered multiple items for catering for a party, and my guest kept telling me how amazing the food was. Three of my guests went to eat at the restaurant the next week and again told me how amazing it was.“

“Just had the full spread at So Moon Nan Jokbal in Fullerton, and it was outstanding! The jokbal was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Every dish that came out was fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. The banchan, soups, and sides complemented the meal perfectly, making it one of the most satisfying Korean dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The hospitality was just as memorable as the food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean jokbal done right.“

“I wasn't sure what to expect driving out to Acton, but saw this spot had good reviews and I'm glad I stopped. Got the crispy fried chicken and a bowl of japchae to split with a friend, both came out hot and fresh. The chicken was just salty enough on its own without needing the sauce, definitely the highlight for me. Only thing is the parking arrangement is a little awkward, it shares a lot with a laundromat so it can feel crowded. We sat at one of the outdoor tables because it was nice weather, felt very low key and casual. I'd probably just order takeout next time instead of dealing with the seating, but the food is solid.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Love Gangnam Kimbob so much. Very laid back atmosphere. Service is always hospitable and upbeat. Food options are plentiful and delicious. You also get a lot for your dollar here imo. The kimbop is very filling and always leaves me feeling good about my choice to eat out given the portion of veggies contained within. I usually cycle between the tonkatsu, tempura shrimp, ssam and spicy ssam kimbops, while my wife loves to order their shin ramyun. They also have some interesting combos for lunch and dinner I’ve yet to try, but come with a variety of food that seem like a great option when you don’t only crave one thing. I can’t recommend this place enough.

P.S. they do discounts during their happy hour“

“This is THE spot for gamja tang in the OC. The soup base here is spot on. It's just so savory and smooth and flavorful. The steamed pork cabbage wraps are to die for. And our family's favorite dish is their potatoe pancakes! It's one off the most delicious thing you'll ever eat! I love that the had Sunkist grape soda today, which was the cherry on top!“

“I wish I had found this place sooner! This is easily one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve been to. The menu has a great variety of dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Everything about the experience exceeded my expectations, and I can already tell I’ll be coming back often. This has officially become my new favorite Korean restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“Not only the gomtang (beef bone soup) but all the other dishes here are delicious, too. We ordered the budae-jjigae (army base stew); the portion was generous, and it tasted great.
And the server was so friendly. We had an even better time thanks to the server who took care of us.“

“We got tangsuyook and jjajangmyun. To be honest, I didn't expect too much of tangsuyook, but from my first bite, it was really really good. I would definitely go back for that. Jjajang wasnt impressive, not too bad. I just couldn't eat spicy food that day so couldnt try jjampong.
The lady working in the front is very pleasant, and she went around passing around aprons to people wearing light colored clothes!“

“The quality of food and service at this place is amazing! Definitely a hidden gem but I’m glad I found it and have been back multiple times! Mrs. Sunhwa, always greets me with a smile and prepares everything so well! Can’t wait for the next time I’m in the area for another awesome bowl! 😋“

“1. The chicken was meaty! The stir fried noodles have a nice smoky flavor!
2. The spot has fun casual vibes as it is part of a food court! The food court has high ceilings!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with our order! It was ready after 10 mins!
Note: There is a restroom area!

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

“Honestly surprised this place isn't rated higher! Came at like 6:30 pm seated right away, menu is very straightforward. The quality of the meat is phenomenal and they cook it for you. The kimchis and pickled vegetable array is unreal I literally would eat here over and over again. It's a very straightforward experience but 5/5 stars!“

“The best food in town! we love this place and Chloe!!!“

“My friend and I got their spicy marinated crab and it was soooo good. The perfect texture and flavor. It wasn’t too spicy and it paired so well with rice and seaweed. We also got the beef soup with dumplings and rice cake which was also amazing as well! The workers here are so kind too“

“This Korean shop features kimbap, box lunches, and a range of pickled delicacies. We ordered a box lunch that includes chicken, vegetable omellete, dried baby fish, and two kinds of pickles, a serving of rice, and cup of soup. All of this for $15! The combo is a mixture of sweet, tart, hot, chewy, crispy flavors for a refreshing lunch.“

“Best best best Korean bbq in Fullerton Brea placentia Yorba linda area. After da Rae went out of business I had to find a new favorite spot. I love the Galbi. The cold noodle soup is top ranked number 1. And the bibimbap hot pot is great too.“

“I ordered the $39 lunch course. Unfortunately, the portions were quite small, and the food itself was honestly underwhelming.

The braised short ribs came with about one piece of meat per person, and they were way too sweet for my taste. The brisket soybean paste stew was also very greasy. The gujeolpan was delicious, but the portion was extremely small.

That said, the service was top-notch. The atmosphere was also beautiful—it’s hard to find a Korean restaurant with such a nice ambiance. I just wish the food and portions were better for the price.“

“One of my favorite spots for lunch in Downtown Fullerton. Spotlessly clean mom and pop spot, with friendly, helpful staff.

No frills. Just good food at a good price, served fast. Perfect spot for local employees to grab lunch and get back to the office in a half-hour.

If you haven't tried the Ubu, or you're weirded out by it, it's time to dive in and give it a try. Soft tofu skin, nice cool rice, and a heaping pile of your favorite filling. Honestly, they give you enough filling for two Ubus, easily. And it's delicious.

If you just want to pop in for a bowl of instant Ramyun, you cook it yourself on an EZ Cook, which is kinda fun. Plus, instant Ramen with an Ubu on the side for $10 is an unbeatable deal, right now.“

“Excellent and authentic food. Very friendly and informative service. Casual atmosphere. The restaurant was empty at lunchtime on a Saturday, but service was quick and attentive. Meat came out sizzling on cast iron platters. Banchan were very tasty. Refreshing cold chewy buckwheat noodles.“

“Nice and cozy place to grab a bite to eat. Service was easy and helpful, and I enjoyed my experience here. Even though their food is not necessarily something I would go out of my way to get, it tasted pretty good. The menu was a little vague, and some of the options seemed a little pricey, and perhaps we could've ended up getting better dishes. The restaurant itself smells pretty good once you walk in, and while the food tastes pretty good too, its taste doesn't seem to be on a par with its aroma. In other words, the smell is deceiving; make sure you know what you are ordering. The sides were pretty good and substantial. Beware: the Dawa Chicken tastes very sweet. Might recommend this place to another person, and might come back if I'm in the close area.

P.S. Public Restrooms are available.“

“The lunch special caught my eye as I was walking by. Walked in was greeted so warmly. Kiki attended me and she was great and provided the best hospitality. It’s family owned, so I’m glad I was able to help support their business!!!“

“Mhat Korean Restaurant may be a small spot, but it delivers authentic Korean flavors and a really satisfying meal.

We ordered the Dak Galbi (Stir-fried Spicy Chicken) with a side of mozzarella cheese, along with an order of fried dumplings. The dak galbi was packed with flavor, and we appreciated being able to adjust the spice level to something a little milder. Adding the mozzarella was definitely the right call, it melted into the spicy chicken, making the dish even richer and creamier while balancing the heat beautifully. The fried dumplings were crispy, flavorful, and made a great side.

The best part of the meal was saving room for the fried rice at the end. They cooked it right in the leftover dak galbi sauce, soaking up all of the rich, spicy flavors. It’s definitely the way to finish the meal and something I highly recommend ordering.

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but the food is authentic, the portions are satisfying, and everything came together for a great dining experience. If you’re craving dak galbi, this place is well worth checking out.“

“Tried this place for the first time today and the quality is unreal! I got the ear, tongue, and stomach pork soup. Broth was silky and so much flavor, which can only comes from hours of cooking. All the side dishes compliment the soup really well too especially the salted shrimp! The service was incredibly nice, fast and welcoming. 10/10 definitely coming back soon“

“I love this place! Its low-key, it's clean and the lady that opens is just absolutely amazing! Been here a few times already. My goto is The Mul Naengmyun (Korean cold noodle with icey beef broth) . Absolutely delicious! The banchan varieties are tasty and they always as k to refill you up.. All the soups (hot) are very flavorful, hearty, and tasty!!!!!! Highly recommend. Fullerton location by amerige heights is very delicious too!!here is my preference though😀“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Finally we came to this Korean restaurant tonight and knew that we had made the right decision. We tried their Bossum and Seafood pancake and it turned out they were really delicious. Our server was very friendly and professional. Their pricing is very reasonable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The food was great. We asked for a lot of salad refills. Our server Madison was very friendly. Chicken was great. It's all baked. I love Korean chicken. Every time I come back to Buena Park, I always come here. Best chicken in town. Gobble chicken forever!“

“I had a wonderful experience at Bon Tofu & Grill (Korean Cuisine) and was impressed by the quality of the food and service. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable right away. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the visit. The menu offered a great selection of authentic Korean dishes with plenty of delicious options. The tofu dishes were flavorful, fresh, and prepared with great attention to detail. I also enjoyed the grilled items, which had amazing taste and perfectly balanced seasoning. Every dish was served hot and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, and the quality of the ingredients was noticeable in every bite. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a pleasant dining environment. The staff were helpful when explaining menu choices and recommending popular dishes. I appreciated the authentic flavors and traditional Korean cooking style. The service was efficient while still allowing us to enjoy a relaxed meal. It is clear that the chefs put care and passion into preparing each dish. The combination of great food, friendly hospitality, and a comfortable atmosphere made the experience memorable. I enjoyed trying different dishes and discovering new flavors. This is a great place for both Korean food lovers and anyone wanting to try something new. I would definitely return to explore more items from the menu. I have already recommended Bon Tofu & Grill to friends and family who enjoy Korean cuisine. Overall, this restaurant offers delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming environment that makes every visit enjoyable. I look forward to coming back again.“

“All the side dishes and main menus here are hands-down the best among all Korean restaurants in Orange County.
The neat and heartfelt side dishes,
and the main dishes made without skimping on any ingredients, are all truly delicious.
Our family is sincerely a loyal regular at Hanmi Restaurant.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“i like the food, big serving & it’s worth the price, i hope they willnot increase the price or lessen the service.“

“Love this restaurant. The food is very delicious. Their radish and kimchi is very seasoned and delicious. I love their beef gogi sulungtang and the intestine sukmgeh sulungtang. Everything is probably good om the menu but I only tried these 2. They habe been around for many yea so I trust them. Its perfect when ur sick!! The soup warms ur body and nourishes u!!“
