50 Best Korean Restaurants near Studio City

“Food was super tasty! Price was great for the portion they give and they really load up the bowl. Service was quick and my cashier was nice!

I got the spicy mayo chicken bowl and the chicken was juicy with a crispy batter. The sauce was really spicy which I loved and it went great with their house made pickles! Rice was perfectly cooked and soaked up all the sauce. I also got a side of their kimchi and it was good not as spicy as I like my kimchi but it had a good brine and crisp flavor and was a perfect combination with the spicy chicken.

Overall I will be coming back and am very happy that they’re a quick walk from my job!“

“I almost didn't want to post about this place because i dont want this place to get too busy! I like the chill (titanic) vibe and delicious food above all. I get my most frequent take out dinners here. My favorite is Galbi-Tang, its very similar to caldo de rez, but with different veggies. Anyway, hoping this helps someone decide this is a good reliable spot to try sometime when youre craving Korean food.“

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service“

“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.“

“I like the beef combo & definitely will be back again“

“One of the most iconic spots in Koreatown!
The soup arrives with customizable add-ins like green onions, red pepper paste, and minced garlic, letting you tweak the savory depth to perfection. Sides of banchan (kimchi, pickled radish) keep the table lively and flavorful.“

“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~♡♡♡♡♡“

“Good service and experience for Korean BBQ.specially the rice paper loved by many diner.“

“Whenever we visit Los Angeles a night at Origin is a must! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly and fast, and the food is to die for!“

“Surawon tofu house is my favorite place ever. I haven't eaten something here that didn't blow my mind. Soontofu: FIRE BQ Slice Ribeye: FIRE Sides: FIRE
Barely Tea: FIRE Corvina: FIRE. The combo of tofu and an entree is incredible. And incredibly priced. I LOVE SURAWON TOFU HOOUUUSSEE“

“If you’re chasing premium Korean BBQ in the heart of K-Town, this spot is one of the more elevated experiences in the neighborhood. 🇰🇷🔥 Jeong Yuk Jeom translates to “butcher shop” — and that’s exactly the vibe you get: hand-selected, dry-aged and wet-aged beef cuts cooked over charcoal that deliver rich flavor and juiciness worth savoring.

The restaurant’s interior is sleek and spacious, perfect for groups or date nights, with good ventilation so you don’t walk out smelling like a grill.

Upscale, flavorful, and memorable Korean BBQ in LA.
Would go again? Absolutely — especially for the dry-aged beef and unique dishes you don’t find everywhere. 🍷🥩“

“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!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

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

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

“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.👍🏻“

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

“Great kbbq place with fresh ingredients and a wide variety of side dishes. They don’t have AYCE here, only combinations — I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food for the one we got. The kimchi fried rice was good, and the meats were all very fresh and tasted delicious with the accompanying sauces. The servers were also more involved in the meat grilling, even for those of us who had experience kbbq before. They also had fun robots around to bring out and take away dishes. We made reservations, which I’d recommend as it was pretty crowded when we went.“

“This place also has a long history in Koreatown. The food is impeccable.
The prices have gone up, but if you're craving dongchimi noodles and meat,
this is the place to go. The meat is all delicious, but the prices have gone up significantly compared to before, so you'll have to settle for beef tongue or Gilmok Gui. It's a place you'll return to for the taste.“

“Best, the best , Korean bbq in LA… Cali, USA! First time bbq in K town reminded me of the bbq I had in Soowon South Korea- the headquarters of korean bbq. Generous too: 1 order was enough for 2 people, came with a salad, soup and panchan.“

“Delicious meat cooked at the table!“

“Honestly… no notes

Hidden gem in busy ktown
The sides are generous and delicious
The mains are flavorful and hearty
What more could you ask for

I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten takeout here. Favorites include kimchi fried rice, kimchi stew, and their fishes, but all of them are hits

Highly recommend!“

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

“I’ve heard about this place before and all the lore that came with it being one of K-towns gems. I had to come and try it out for myself, what I can say is that truly and honestly it’s one of my favorite spots to eat at. You don’t come here for the frills or the fancy seating you come here to eat good home cooked food. I ordered the combo mudfish and soup meal and boy was I in for a treat the fish was perfectly cooked and all the banchan was perfectly prepared. The Kimchi brewed in house daily and the soup to perfection.

I will for sure be coming back soon!“

“The food and service were amazing. The meats and options they have here are very unique and delicious, up to 32 different options. The person who gave us our meat was nice and caring. As some side notes, if this is your first time going to Korean BBQ place, you cook your own food so make sure you know how to cook meats, also the music they played here is pretty good!“

“amazing food and good for family“

“Good food and fast service.“

“Really good kbbq i loves their marinated kalbi and yukhoe, they also had really good banchan and good sake; the ambiance is also really nice since they keep the place bit dim its a great place for date night, taste wise its just as good as many of the ktown kbbq’s that Ive tried, the staff was super friendly as well, highly recommended“

“Very affordable and chill place to swing by with friends after work. The owner is very sweet and all staff is very attentive and care that you're having a good experience.

Place is open late and definitely recommend for a casual hang out with friends!“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“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. ☺️“

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

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“Danbi is a Michelin notes BiB establishment in the burgeoning Korea Town of Los Angeles. I was lucky to get a seat to take it in.

The space us ultra hip and chic. Darker vibe but with lots of cool adornments. It's noisy here in a good way. The place is electric.

The service is AMAZING. I had the pleasure of sitting at the bar and all of the staff were so helpful, engaging and attentive.

The food was amazing! Zabuton was perfect. The uni bibimbap was superb. And the cocktail offering was genius!

Cannot say enough!

5 x 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜“

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

“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.“

“Had a great meal at Sun Nong Dan Sawtelle tonight. We ordered the #3 and #10 soups, and both were absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and super comforting. The portion sizes were incredibly generous, easily enough to share or take some home for later. Our server Moses was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Overall a really enjoyable experience with great food and great service. Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“Good food big portions. Fast service.“

“No frlls. People say its a hole in the wall. Friendly and fast service. The parking lot attendant is friendly. Thei rSulLungTang is tasty and we get it a couple times a month. The panchan is minimal but the cabbage kimchi and Kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) are tasty.“

“Grabbed a res day of to stop here before a show at the Wiltern and what a perfect little plan that was! I told them we were tight on time because of a show and they went out of their way to accommodate, making sure we got our table as soon as possible and fired all our food QUICKLY! We had some great recommended soju and 5 dishes between 2 people. Our favorites were the salmon kimbap, the uni tteok-bokki and the shrimp toast. (Note, we don’t eat red meat so cannot comment on those dishes). The crudo was a tad overdressed but fish was fresh. Highly recommend for a small party for pre show or pre night out dinner.“

“Wait the food is so good. I wish my tummy could fit more food. The side dishes buffet bar is surprisingly good you have to practice restraint from filling yourself up with it. This place has all the dishes you can want from a Korean restaurant!“

“Straight up delicious and authentic Korean food.“

“Food was so delicious. Exactly how I wanted the tteokbokki to taste and the fried chicken wings were crispy and full of flavor. We got the sweet & spicy and the garlic. Service was amazing! Very nice and quick to accommodate. I’d bring my Korean parents here. Will come back again!“

“Total vibe and great value ! Got a bunch of different things to share for the table - a bunch of skewers, kimchi pancakes, soups, short ribs etc. awesome place to go on an evening out with friends without breaking the bank. Low key vibes love“

“Only place in ktown with games where you can bet drinks against other tables, which might not sound like much but it’s another thing to do at the table while drinking. They have 50% off soju and beer Sunday-Wednesday before 10pm if you’re looking for a more casual chill time, weekends could get packed“

“I stayed at my friend’s place for five days while I was in LA. On the last day, I wanted to repay them a bit with a meal. It was a nice Korean place. I knew they wouldn’t let me pay, so I slipped out in the middle of the meal, gave my card to the waiter, and paid. I really thanked him for going along with it. The place was packed by noon. I can see why it’s popular.“

“Very great food and good service. Good decor and there is lots of parking outside. Only downside is the menu is only in Korean but just use google translate.

I like how peaceful it is. It gave me the time and quiet to finally think about the social economic state of the world right now. Food is fire.“

“OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖“

“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.“

“The wings had so much flavor and were very crunchy, i loved the Korean spice flavor the most. The beef bowl was also delicious! My son loved being able to make his own ramen 🍜. The restaurant was very clean and the owner was really friendly and welcoming! We will definitely stop by again!!!“

“Good dumplings (very clean) especially u can buy frozen ones for takeout. It's not easy to find CLEAN restaurants in LA. Little far from ktown still good food. Hidden gem. I like they only use veggies and beef. Best in LA. Ratings are not overrated.“
