“Tofu Chon is a great spot for Korean BBQ and comforting tofu soups. The banchan selection is fresh and flavorful, and the dishes come out hot and tasty. The customer service is prompt and attentive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. If you're craving Korean BBQ or a hearty tofu soup, this is definitely a place worth visiting.“

“This little small Korean wings spot surprise me. I got the Korean barbecue spicy wings with fries. And the wings came out super crispy and flavorful. The fries that look really mid surprise me as well with this spices which again was very flavorful. I was looking for a new wings location and this is by far the best I’ve been to in all of I.E. I highly recommend this place if you love Korean wings.“

“I was really hyped about this place opening to add to the variety of Korean food around Chino Hills. Soonheene is very popular in South Korea which led me to add this place to my must try list of restaurants, they're known for their amazing street food and it didn't disappoint at all.

Staff were incredibly quick, attentive, and were very friendly in all aspects. Parking is plentiful, clean restroom, and a moderate amount of seating inside the restaurant. The interior is well maintained and just has good vibes when entering, there's also a TV on the wall that plays many variety shows to express just how popular this place is in South Korea.

1. We ordered their signature Tteokbokki and it comes in a decent amount of portions, a great shareable dish and very flavorful when it comes to the mix of sauce, rice cake, and fish cake. There's also a rose version which I also recommend. The Tteokbokki were savory and also not hard to crunch on, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable and addicting.

2. Another must try item is the Mayak Gimbap, comes in 8 pieces, another shareable dish. It's also very well made, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a decent appetizer to the main course.

3. The Oden Fish Cake Soup is also a classic street food signature dish to try. Highly recommend if you're a fan of fish cake, comes in a stick form which is a easy pick-me-up type food. Not too salty and is flavorful as well.

4. The Roasted Kimchi Pork Belly was the main dish we had as a shareable. I cannot fathom how well made this dish is made. The pork belly is super savory, chewy, and flavorful, mixes well with all the side garnishes and sauces.
Overall, Soonheene is definitely a good place for many occasions, dates, take out, and moderate size groups.

Decent prices for amazing quality food. They will always be my go to spot for amazing South Korean street food.“

“A new favorite for sure! The seafood pancake is a must try!! Best one I’ve ever had. I enjoyed their selection of banchan, as they had some dishes I hadn’t tried before. The tofu soup was flavorful. Overall a great place with amazing service. Will definitely be back if I’m in the area!“

“Really liked this spot. The army stew was honestly one of the better ones I’ve had in LA. It came loaded with pork belly, bacon, spam, sausage, tofu, and ramen, and once you mix the sauce in well, the broth gets really rich and flavorful.

We also got the LA galbi, which I liked because it was not overly sweet like some places. The meat had a nice char but was still tender. The spicy braised pork back ribs were also really good and kind of reminded me of Sunnongdan. We got medium spice, and it came with three huge bones with super tender meat that was basically falling off. We added cheese, which made it even better, and the rice cakes in the stew were soft and soaked up all the flavor.

To balance everything out, we ordered the oxtail soup and cold noodles. The soup was more mild and comforting, with a rich milky broth and several big pieces of oxtail. The cold noodles were perfect for a hot day and had a nice chewy texture. Overall, everything was solid and I’d definitely come back.“

“Love it yummy food 🥘 good place to relax too 🍰💕“

“Almost identical to Young Dong Tofu. A lot more variety with side dishes. Pork cutlet was huge for $20. Everything was tasty and service was excellent. Not sure if tofu soups normally come with egg. Ours didn’t. Definitely go here if you want to avoid waiting at Young Dong Tofu. They also have jajangmyeon 14.99 (didn’t try not on menu but posted inside on the walls)“

“food was good. so happy to find a Korean spot that's good around to SGV!“

“Absolutely love this place. Favorite Korean restaurant in IE. The soondubu hits the spot and the marinade used for the kalbi is the best, just the right amount of sweetness. The banchan is great too, I love the cucumber kimchi and fish cake.“

“I got the whole crispy fried chicken with sauce. The chicken is juicy and crispy. The size of each individual chicken pieces are well quite large in size. And the portion size is quite a lot, so its price is very reasonable. The sauce flavor I got is hot and spicy and it does got some spiciness to it, but extremely enjoyable if you’re into spice. In addition, it is sweet, smoky, and each pieces is perfectly covered in the sauce. The service was friendly and I got my food within like 10-15 minutes. I will be definitely be going here often whenever I’m craving Korean Fried Chicken.“

“Great addition to the food court! I'd been to other two hands and was worried it wouldn't be as good here since it's a food court location but it was very good. Service was unenthusiastic at best but the food was great, their potato dog is very enjoyable and the sauce is one of my favorite condiments. Will definitely be coming back 💪.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“very good food with good price. The service is also good“

“The Flame Broiler is a simple fast-food chain in Rancho Cucamonga. They prepare and serve Korean-style meat and rice bowls with no dairy, trans-fat or frying. Their bowls are always fresh and consistently good. Customer Service is always quick, staff is nice and friendly. This place is always clean and well-decorated. You will get 20% off your next order (except catering) if you check in to The Flame Broiler on Yelp.“

“Food is consistently prepared to perfection. I’ve made a comment about the manager who is usually in the kitchen, making the food that the staff prepares food so much better than any other location. Chicken is not overly cooked pieces are plump juicy, and not burned. Staff very friendly and welcoming, and the dining area is always clean. This is my favorite location As it’s convenient, placing a phone order while I’m running my errands“

“Great rec by my friend. For the value one of the best places to stop by in chino. Great variety of fusion food and sides are stacked on the plate. Servers always check on ya and everything is promptly brought out. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town!“

“We decided try this place after picking up our sister from the airport. Atmosphere was clean. Food was decent. They made a mistake on one our orders but quickly rectified it. Person who took our order was very friendly, customer service was outstanding. Will be back whenever we are in the area. Thank you“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“I just went for my first time today, and I had to go back because it was that good! Not only is the owner super sweet but the food is so good! These are the best steam pork buns, I have ever had.
I was iffy the whole day if I should go back and get another order. I didn’t want to seem big back. But this food is truly amazing. You won a regular, he will be seeing a lot of me! Thank you so much for the great food 10 out of 10“

“Cute and cozy spot for some good sushi! The owners are kind as well. ^_^ I came here a couple years ago with my friend for dine in and we loved it. I decided to get some sushi togo and remembered this spot! I got sushi combo #2. It’s so good :) Definitely will come back. I included a pic of what I got and something I thought was cute in the restaurant hehe.“

“The food was amazing.
The service was on another level.
The vibes were immaculate.

First off, their menu is on definitely top notch. It's hefty, but they have an index in the back which shows all the pictures/descriptions of the food (amazing for any first timers). We ordered the dynamite steamed egg, kimchi cream pasta, cheese buldak chicken, and chicken gizzard stir fry. The steamed egg is definitely an upgrade from usual steamed eggs. It's super fluffy and is the perfect start to any meal. I've been craving some korean pasta recently and couldn't find a decent place. Yet, this place does it right. Although I wish there was a bit more, the cheese buldak is that silent creeper in terms of spice but super delicious (tip: ask for rice so that you can mix it with the leftover sauce). The chicken gizzard stir fry is that perfect balance between chewy and savory. Definitely a fan.

The service was amazing. The owner/servers are super attentive and accommodating beyond words. We were sitting near the door and people were smoking outside, so he ended up constantly closing the door and opening to let our dining experience not be negatively affected. Unmatched. They really care about their diners.

It's a smaller place, so during events (WC) and weekends, it can fill up rather quickly. So, make sure to plan accordingly. It's definitely worth it. It's located within a plaza, so parking is plentiful. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items. A+++!“

“Always one of our favorite places to eat, all the staff are great and the owner/chef Jay is always willing to customize our food preferences and knows exactly how we like it.“

“Wow! We came here to check out the ramen wall but ended up getting some bowls off the main menu instead. Tried the beef bowl and the wing bowl with spicy noodle and lemon pepper wings -- the rice was perfectly cooked and the meats and noodles where incredible. The servings are very generous as well, we both left stuffed.

The wait wasn't too bad considering everything was cooked fresh but apparently there's an order ahead option if you don't want to wait as long. They were playing good music and the noise level was such that we could hear each other but didn't feel like everyone was listening to our conversation.“

“Korean fried chicken is just the best! Non greasy and a light batter. The plain wings are perfect and the flavored ones are even more delicious. I recommend the Honey Garlic variety“

“food and slushies 10/10!!! The only downside was the wait it took 30 minutes to get food.“

“Ube Ice cream taste amazing. I love that they put Nutella on the inside of their cones. It is so delicious.“

“Delish!! Totally Love them Oyster Shooters. They are the Best🍹“

“Very good!! 🤗 and excellent service!! 🤤“
