49 Best Korean Restaurants near Tarzana

“The honey garlic chicken was delicious and so crispy. Not overly greasy at all. So much flavor and juicy chicken wings. We will definitely order from here again. We ordered pick up and our food was still hot. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a crispy chicken wing meal.“

“One of if not the best Korean restaurants I been to. Food came out real fast and was very filling and tasted great! Service was amazing, Ken really did a great job in helping to serve us, helped with giving us recommendations, brought extra side dishes quickly, and was very nice & funny as well! Will definitely be back for more!“

“Very good first impression of Korean food, loved the service, Lee was very nice to me and my fiancee. The food (Rose Tteokbokki) came out very quickly and was delicious, excited to try the other dishes!! Great selection of music as well, it made the atmosphere very welcoming and pleasant. Will be coming again 100%!!
PS. The pricing here is astounding, VERY worth for how good and how much you get“

“The food here is incredible and very unique. Amazing Korean fried chicken, super crispy and packed with soy and ginger flavor. All the Rittos are delicious too, great balance and blends of flavors. Bulgogi and Fried Chicken are A++ And the owners are so nice. I will be coming every week!“

“Absolutely loved this Korean fried chicken spot! The customer service was outstanding. Very friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The chicken itself was incredible. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with bold, flavorful sauces that hit just right. Every bite was fresh and satisfying. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“K-Stop has an amazing selection, and their kimbap is seriously delicious. I’ve tried all the varieties; tuna, beef, spicy chicken, and vegetable and every single one has been great. They’re super filling too. I usually order three for two people, but honestly, one per person is plenty.

I always leave feeling satisfied and like I made a healthy choice. The staff is also friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I definitely recommend this spot if you’re craving tasty, fresh kimbap!“

“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.“

“At a glance, it looks like a mini mart. Don’t let the smell of Noah’s Bagels distract you. This place has legit kimbap with the golden ratio of meat, veggies, to rice. $11. The bulgogi marinade had perfect sweetness with the crunch from all the veggies. Then the Ttukbokgi in the hot section $7 had that street vendor flavor that only ahjummas can replicate, and thickness to the sauce that coats the ttuk just right. I even dunked my kimbap (see photo) to make sure I didn’t leave any sauce in the bowl.“

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

“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.“

“The food is great for the area. You can tell the owners have a lot of pride in their restaurant. Everything is served so hot.

They are so friendly and make an effort to leave their guests with a nice experience.

We got the galbi combo with spicy tofu soup. It was lovely.“

“Came here with my whole family and we all loved our food. We got beef snd pork platters and chicken and shrimp tacos. Also tried the dumplings. Everything was delicious. And the staff was fantastic and friendly. Atmosphere is very casual clean and nice.“

“This is the first place in LA that brought me right back to being in Korea eating some delicious food. The seolleongtang hit so well! The beef and noodles were perfect! I highly recommend! Make sure to get on the yelp waitlist before you go!“

“Pros:
-has a bathroom
-good brisket
-manager seems friendly

Cons:
-small parking lot, difficult to find parking if the lot is full
-limited choices
-sides including Korean pancake are cold
-gets really smoky“

“Great service n food. Try it out.“

“This is like your Korean friends mom’s kitchen. Very homey feel. Delicious food. Everything I’ve tried has been good. Most authentic Korean food in the valley. Big fan. Their potato and cucumber banchan is next level, I wish they could let me order just those two in a big container.“

“The best Korean stews in the entire Valley. I know there's musse and few other places sell similar foods, but as a Korean who knows all the best places for this kind of food, the traditional soups are the best here in this area.

If you want to have a decent experience with sulungtang (beef bone stew), yukgaejang (spicy beef stew with noodles), samgyetang (chicken with herbs and ginseng), hangover stew, without going to specialty places in koreatown this is your best bet.“

“The best Korean restaurant I have in the valley! Even better than most k restaurants in the K Town! Food tastes great and the people there are very friendly. Since it’s in a food court with fierce competition, it’s also quite affordable compared with other k restaurants in this area.“

“Love the taste and selection of the foods!“

“Lots of vegan options“

“5 STARS SUPER DELICIOUS EVERY TIME“

“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.“

“If you want the best Chinese (Korean style) food, you need to come here! All dishes are delicious and the staff is genuinely kind. We come here ever since our kids are young and I never get disappointed. K-food popularity made them more busy but they kept the quality high.“

“Food: this is a sports bar/dive that serves great Korean food. I recommend trying the chicken wings or kimchi pork fried rice.

Parking: the restaurant has ample parking since it’s in a large shopping area, anchored by CVS.

Tips: they offer a good variety of draft beers. They have pork hock, which goes great with beer when watching a game.“

“Been visiting for 20 years. Taste and flavor are always on point! Friendly service, you won't get unless you get the owner herself. But the food is always so friggin delicious, that I don't care about friendliness. It's not full service anyway, and the food comes out quickly. And, the price is so reasonable - better than reasonable. I could almost never go to any other restaurants in the same plaza because this place is so much more superior.“

“We came for a friend’s birthday party. Looks like a new restaurant in a less visited plaza off 405. However when I stepped in, I waited for 15 mins to be seated as they were very short staffed. Nevertheless, food was good. We ordered AYCE $39.99 Menu B and were happy about the portion and quality of the meat. The room was a bit more smokier than I would like. If they keep the door open they won’t be a problem!“

“Love the side dishes and all of their jiggaes. I got the mushroom jiggae, and it was great. I’ve been going here for awhile, and the food always comes out super quickly, prices are reasonable, the side dishes have a good variety, and there always seems to be at least one table open. Or even on the rare occasion that all the tables are full, the chefs get the food out so quickly that the wait is never long.“

“Es mi primera vez que mi hijo me invitó a cenar y muy buen servicio y muy limpio muy buena cena Gracias“

“Great service n food. Try it out.“

“Deli Deli si lo recomiendo“

“Smaller hole in wall type eatery. Teriyaki bowl was great. Great value for price. They charge to use a credit card here.

Parking: Parking is pretty terrible here, directly in front of the eatery. Located between a liquor store and a laundry mat and it makes finding a place to park difficult.“

“I was looking for the 24hr fitness entrance popped in to find out where it was and WOW the aroma in here was so good - after my workout I went back got a tofu bowl really good - I wish I had gotten the Gals name who worked the counter she was so friendly made my day - Ill be back“

“Love Jo&Go Sushi. They saved me when we first moved to LA and while the house was being remodeled.

4 years later... it's still as good as first discovered. It's a neighborhood gem inside the Korean Greenland Mrkt, which btw, is also awesome.

Must try is the salmon bowl, the salmon slices are so tender and buttery... they give you a crazy amount of salmon over the rice and seriously it's enough to have a 2nd meal! One note about the bowl... I'm not a fan of drenching really good cooked rice with sauce, so I always order without the sauce. The rice is not sushi rice which makes it even more delicious... the rice is always perfectly cooked. You get a miso soup and a cute little container of pickled radish (delish). I would love to know where they source the fish... it's like being in Japan, it's so fresh.

I'll be catering with them soon and happy to update the review post order.

The kind woman who takes the order is so sweet and cute, always smiling...says hi and bye all the time.

If you're in the area, definitely give it a try for takeaway.“

“It was our first time at Musse, and my sister and I were so impressed. The cozy atmosphere and delicious food made us feel like we were in Korea. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully presented—truly one of the best authentic Korean restaurants in the SFV. The staff was so kind and welcoming—we even started calling our server Unnie! We’ll definitely be back.“

“great food good service highly recommended“

“I really enjoy their bbq combos, side dishes, and soybean stew. But when you're not there to get the bbq combo, they usually sit you off on the other side of the restaurant. My party and I had to wait quite a while for the waiter to take our orders when on the non grilling side. And they don't check on you once your order arrives. I ordered the bulgogi, which was pretty pricy and the portion size was really small. I'd go only got the bbq.“

“The food is what you can expect from a fast food Asian restaurant but it's in one of the most active but not crowded shopping centers! I have yet to park more than 15 steps from the entrance!! Love this spot!

The staff, however, is amazingly helpful and always eager to make your experience better!“

“My first time eating at a Korean BBQ restaurant. I really enjoyed the experience and the food.“

“Our families have been customers at this Chinese restaurant since Van Nuys location over 30 years.
Their dishes have the best taste consistently that cooked by the chef/owner. My favorites are Champong, Black bean sauce noodle, Sweet and sour pork, and others.“

“This place was definitely a place I was a little sketched out to stop by, but the reviews convinced me otherwise. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS! I have lived in Santa Monica for 2 years now and this was my first time - some of the best food I have eaten since living in LA. Very fresh fish and unique flavor profiles. I got the Alaskan spicy roll and it was one of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had! 10/10 recommend!!! The gyoza was also phenomenal - very flavors and the sauce was awesome! I will definitely be ONLY going here for sushi moving forward!“

“Omg. Shrimp spicy dumplings. Soooo good Red bean buns delish Scallion pancakes great Chicken crunchy and juicy“

“Amazing place, this is my 2nd time here and I love this place. The food is amazing, I went to celebrate my son's graduation here they took care of every one in our party( 11 in total) is very different from other Korean BBQ Restaurants I've visit, I feel I enjoyed the food more, is a very small place but the experience make it worth the lack of ambiance.
I will definitely will be coming back.
I don't know how much is for each individual plate because I had 11 people in my party and we just ordered until everyone was satisfied but it was worth every penny.
The serves make sure you get everything you need, I ordered the marinated beef it was very juice, they lack on variety of choices but it still gives you the whole Korean bbq feel, they provide you with onions, jalapenos and garlic per request, also their salad is AMAZING. It is it not luxurious as other BBQ places.
I still find the meat on this places a much better quality than other Korean BBQ places., I will definitely be coming back.“

“organic taste 😋 and fast delivery 🚚 I recommend“

“(Veggie) Avocado Bulgogi!!!!!! Ah man. I get excited just thinking about this dish. The "meat" is sooo tasty, with the roasted sweet potatoes, and rice... Simply delicious

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, and vegetarian options“

“Amazing food and cute interior. Will come back again!“

“Just wanted to share that Brian, our waiter was super kind. He was so present with our needs, constantly came by to check on us and even told us to get home safely after leaving. You can tell when people are on autopilot sometimes but we felt like people (there were 8 of us) and it felt like he was serving just us, even with lots of people here. (It was dinner time on Saturday).

The staff was good but shout out to our server Brian. We can tell you do things with love. :)

And oh yeah the meat was good too! Lol“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant when our original plan fell through. I'd seen videos of Korean fried chicken, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Wow! The food was delicious. I ordered the Honey Garlic and Soy Garlic wings. I thought the Honey Garlic was better. I also really liked the French fries. I'm definitely going back and can't wait to try the Secret sauce. 8 pieces is plenty for 2 people. Even as leftovers, the chicken stayed crunchy 😋“
