5 Best Korean Restaurants near Ventura

“The Ultimate Korean Comfort Food in Ventura!

If you are looking for authentic, soul-warming Korean food, this is the spot. I’ve traveled all over the Pacific during my time in the Navy, and the flavors here are as legit as it gets.

The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food feels like a home-cooked meal. Whether you’re craving a rich, bubbling stew or perfectly seasoned Bulgogi, everything is fresh and hits the spot. It’s the perfect place to go when you want a meal that actually fills you up and makes you feel good.

Ventura has a lot of dining options, but Matna 1631 is easily at the top of my list for comfort food. Great service and even better flavors. I’ll definitely be back! 🇰🇷🍲🔥“

“This place has me kind of befuddled. Let me start out by saying, as someone who loves Korean food this is easily the best Korean food in Ventura county, probably some of the best you'll get outside of Los Angeles. The Galbi is tender well seasoned and on point, side dishes are fresh, authentic and they serve what might be some of the best kimchi you'll try outside of Korea. Now for what has me scratching my head....what you see in this picture is a dinner entree with side dishes a small side of soup, rice and a side of gochujang. For all of this including tax but no tip was almost 49 dollars! 49 dollars for a decent but not large portion of excellent food, just enough for one person. This same amount of food from a similarly top rated Korean restaurant in Los Angeles, San Diego Bay area etc would not be more than about 35 to 38 dollars. I know that its outside of a major market/city and with inflation and everything, but geez almost 50 bucks for 1 plate of Kalbi togo....Its hard to understand how management can justify those prices. That being said, the price won't keep me from returning, i just find it hard to understand why the prices are so high. I guess you pay a premium for premium Korean food in this part of the state.“

“I was in a mood for some rolls and saw that this place was the closest to where I live and it had positive reviews. I ordered a couple of rolls and they were delicious. It also helped that the order arrived at a quick pace.

This is most likely will be my new sushi/roll place to dine“

“Christian was an amazing waiter. He gave us great recommendations and helped us pick our food fast. He stayed talkative and kept the vibe fun the whole time. He checked on us a lot and made sure we had what we needed. Super nice, easy to talk to, and made the meal better. Ask for Christian if you come here.“
