7 Best Korean Restaurants near Valencia

“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!“

“Bonchon is an absolute find! The Korean fried chicken is incredible — perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. Their made-to-order donuts are just as amazing — warm, fluffy, and the perfect sweet finish. What really made the experience even better was Carissa, who took our order. She was exceptionally friendly and made us feel so welcome. Between the outstanding food and the great service, Bonchon is a new favorite. A must-visit!“

“I used to go here as a kid but it was Japanese, but the new Korean cuisine was top tier the food was good, service, and probably the best atmosphere I've witnessed highly recommend if your around the area looking for Korean cuisine to eat with family or friends. 👍👌“

“This was a takeout order .
In every flavor we have ordered, The bbq chicken is outstanding, always crunchy and juicy. (we haven't tried EVERY flavor. )
The reason I docked one point on service was only because sometimes they're done earlier than they say when ordering online. I recommend the spicy original flavor. It's our favorite!“

“I am always trying to find a good KBBQ in the Santa Clarita area. I went for the first time tonight and we were sooooooo impressed!! Amazing Galbi!!!! All the meats were tender and seemed like great quality, which is hard to find at AYCE. Most importantly, the service was top notch. I’ve never had a waitress help cut the meat off bones and cook the meat at an AYCE. They were helping constantly and extremely attentive to our needs. This is the only place we will be going from now on in this area. THANK YOU for great kbbq!!!!!!!!“

“Gogi house is a staple of Santa Clarita where groups of friends gather to lather themselves in sesame oil and drown in sweet succulent Korean meats.

I’ve been going since it opened and always go once whenever I come back to visit friends/family. The yogurt hits perfect after your dripping in meat sweats

Staff is friendly and their service is great. Only downside is that it can get smokey and you will smell like meat after eating.“
