8 Best Korean Restaurants near Valencia

“Every single thing is just stellar, the atmosphere, the food, the wonderful people that work there. It feels like a second home, nothing beats trying something new from the assortment of noodles or even just going with your usual. So much variety and so much to try. Cannot recommend it enough.“

“I love Korean beef tofu soup and I didn’t know it’s available here at SCV. We had a pleasant dining experience here at Lee’s Korean BBQ & Tofu House. Our favorites were the spicy pork and tteokbokki. The staff (I’m assuming she’s the daughter of the owner since the place looks like family-owned and run) was kind enough to adjust the spice level to accommodate my 9-year old daughter’s spice tolerance.

I recommend getting the combo (meat + half tofu soup). My eldest daughter liked her non-spicy dumpling tofu soup. The banchan could be better though.

The space and dining area is small and quite tight, but the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

We’ll definitely be back.“

“They have amazing rice bowl lunch specials - super affordable at just $6-$8! Options range from chicken katsu and spicy pork to bulgogi bowls. Sure, the portions're on the smaller side, but the flavors're incredible - easily comparable to those at good KBBQ spots. Everything's cooked to order & you can even see them grilling the meat in the back. Definitely a must-try for lunch!“

Yet they always had a smile and were attentive, when passing so quickly, to stop to get what we needed. Food was fabulous. Tasty and fresh. Definitely worth the wait. Cannot wait to return.“
