39 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“

“I came to this mom and pop restaurant on a Saturday night with no expectations and boy was I BLOWN AWAY. I absolutely loved it. The couple that own the place were super sweet and helpful in helping me decide what to get. I got the bulgogi bowl (first time ever having one) and it was one of the best dishes that I’ve ever had. I wish I lived closer to be able to eat there every, single, day. I cannot recommend this place ENOUGH, please give them a shot, you will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Omg, I used to live in porter ranch and can’t believe never been here. Food is so good, super fresh, staff is super nice. I got bento box with beef and the portion was huge for this price it’s a lot, couldn’t even finish half.

I wish this business success and further development 🙏🙌“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite places on Sawtelle.
Everything I’ve ordered has been excellent, and the Galbi and Seafood Sundubu stand out.
I usually dine in, though I sometimes order food to go. The quality has been consistently outstanding.
The restaurant is comfortable, and the staff are very friendly.

With so many great restaurants lining Sawtelle Blvd, located in the area known as Little Osaka, it can be hard to decide where to eat. This place is always at the top of my list.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome place. My family ate three of Korean-style BBQ-ribs, pork, beef. All of them were very delicious and Korean style taste. Moderate salty food. Steamed rice was very good. My kids liked and enjoyed all of them. Recommend who looking for nice Korean dishes. The price is also reasonable.“

“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!“

“Delicious, fresh meats, including pork belly, angus beef brisket, marinated bbq angus beef, black angus choice rib eye, beef teriyaki, and more. Everything paired perfectly with rice & fresh vegetable salad. The appetizers, egg soup, spicy soup, kimchi, broccoli, & brussel sprouts were also excellent.

Outstanding service by Michelle, Melvin, & Destiny. They deserve special recognition for being attentive, welcoming, friendly, and kind.

We had a wonderful time cooking & sharing a meal with mi la familia of origin in a relaxing & enjoyable ambiance. Thank you for the great experience. God bless!“

“Great service n food. Try it out.“

“Delicious, affordable, and fast. A wide variety of dishes and friendly service. Everything you need for a quick and filling lunch. The portions are quite generous—you definitely won’t leave hungry. Keep it up 👍“

“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.“

“Nice chinese korean food that hits the spot. The tansuyuk was that crispy chewy texture that makes it unique 👌. Comes dippable which is the only appropriate way to eat it! Sauce could use more citruis and fruit. 8.7/10.
Jjampong was decent. I think it lacked a bit of depth for the flavor. Sad there was no shrimp or other seafood. Noodles were decent and had a decent bite. 7.8/10. Chicken wings were... sad. I dont know if there was a sauce shortage... but it should be more a few drops on there... 7.4/10. I would also like to recommend a no pork in the jjajangmyun option. I know its pre-made but it would be nice...“

“Love the taste and selection of the foods!“

“Lots of vegan options“

“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.“

“5 STARS SUPER DELICIOUS EVERY TIME“

“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.“

“Great service n food. Try it out.“

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

“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“

“great food good service highly recommended“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“If you want really good authentic korean beef soup. This is the place for you. The dishes are very authentic. The selection of Bandhan they provide is impressive. The service was a bit slow during my visit. Did not get any water refill at all.
The parking is in the rear of the building and there is an entrance in the back. I would be back to try the other beef soups they offer.“
