9 Best Korean Restaurants near Valencia

“Our favorite restaurant in SCV. The only ramen place we go!
The owner is probably the sweetest person I've ever met We had our son's birthday there just the other week, and she made it so special for him and his friends. I wish I could give 100 stars! You HAVE to try them out, you won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“We stopped here on the way home from LA. The food is cooked to order, so very fresh and hot! There is a little wait but worth it. If I am traveling through that area again and hungry for small restaurants cuisine , I’m stopping there! I have had Korean Bbque before but this informal way with plates, tacos and bowls is genius. I ordered the sirloin bibimbap. I customized it with no rice just salad greens, the shredded veggies, protein and sweet egg. Two sauces came with it on the side. It was delicious! I’ll dream about that meal! My husband ordered the chicken Katsu bowl. He also really enjoyed it. He is no on the veggies ( rice and protein, sauce) and I am always trying to keep it low carb. The chef was willing to customized kindly with no rice. There are tofu options. There are options for many food lifestyles. Delicious and robust with freshness and flavor!“

“Picking up my online order at Bonchon in Stevenson Ranch was a remarkably swift and hassle-free experience! The cashier, Carrisa, was exceptionally sweet and friendly, radiating a youthful energy that clearly marks her as part of the Gen Z generation. Despite her age, her professionalism and outstanding customer service were truly impressive, complemented by her warm smile—something that's increasingly rare these days. The store owner is undoubtedly fortunate to have such a dedicated and cheerful employee like her on their team.“

“My mom wanted Korean food for Mother’s Day so we went here and we absolutely loved everything we ordered! The sides were plentiful and the entree portions were good. My mom especially loved the japchae. I liked the texture of the tteokbokki. Kimchi tasted like how my cousin made it (not store-bought). Beef bulgogi was a big pile of meat! Staff was very friendly and attentive. The stainless steel cups & water pitchers were a nice touch. The place was very clean.“

“If you love Korean cuisine, this is the place for you. The food here is incredibly delicious. The service is attentive, and the atmosphere is pleasant and authentic. The prices are slightly above average, but the dishes are definitely worth it. Overall, you won’t regret it 👍“

“The best chicken I've had in my LIFE. Order ahead of time cause it's usually quite busy! Be prepared for a bit of a wait, and know that it is WORTH IT. I love the kimchi fried rice, and all the different flavors we have tried have been incredible. No misses yet!“

“If I could give more than five stars, I would! This was hands down the best Korean BBQ I’ve ever had. The quality of the food was incredible, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the amazing staff.

Our server, Andrew, was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely excited to share the experience with us. He taught us some of his favorite grilling and eating techniques, along with little tips that made us feel so much more connected to the culture rather than just dining at a restaurant. The rest of the staff was just as warm, welcoming, and helpful, creating such a fun and comfortable atmosphere.

From the delicious food to the exceptional hospitality, every part of our visit exceeded our expectations. We’ll absolutely be coming back and recommending this place to everyone we know!“

“Service is super good. The staff worked as a team. My friends and i enjoyed all the meats! Very tender, flavorful, and great portions. All the sides and appetizer were tasty. I would definitely revisit when im on that side of town! The yogurt at the end is so good.“
