16 Best Korean Restaurants near Walnut Creek

“Awesome food and presentation. Friendly service!“

“Amazing find! Had a quick lunch here the price was very reasonable (lunch special menu). The small dishes (complimentary appetisers) tasted very authentic and goes well with the rice. Would recommend anyone to come try authentic Korean food at good price!“

“This was super yummy, the atmosphere of the place was simple nothing much. the service was good, The food was AMAZING! Well atleast in my opinion😋 I love their lemon pepper chicken and fries I recommend to anyone coming or passing by. Also the wait time isn’t too long and the price is pretty decent“

“Authentic and excellently prepared traditional Korean dishes. This is my go to Korean restaurant in Concord/Walnut Creek area. Highly recommend this restaurant. However, if you want Coke Zero, they don’t have it so every time I go there, I always ask for Coke Zero just to place a seed into their minds to try stocking it.“

“I ordered the spicy pork lunch set here. The side dishes were tasty, and the set itself was well put together. It came with japchae, which was well-seasoned and had a nice variety of ingredients. The rice portion was slightly small, but honestly, the side dishes and japchae were enough to feel full. The amount of spicy pork was also generous.

The only downside was the noise from the fitness center upstairs—it sounded like dumbbells being dropped on the floor. It didn’t really affect my meal, but it might be stressful for the owner or staff. The server was very kind and friendly.“

“Some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of fried chicken. I’d put Mr. Lee’s up against even some of the best of the bay like San Tung in SF. It really is that good! Get the Mr. Lee’s and Yang yum flavors! Go get some chicken and tell me I’m not lying here! The kimbap was also very yummy and perfect.“

“Went to this place for the first time and I was very satisfied with the service and food taste, everything served with perfection, very polite when became greeted by the staff we ordered the bulgogi and the galbi tofu with veggies soup prices varies on size between 20 for small and 40 for large but large was way to much for me so here is some pic's“

“Delicious food, great service, nice atmosphere.

Ordered the beef bulgogi udon and beef bulgogi kimbap. Absolutely amazing. Very filling and reasonably priced.

Would definitely come back here and order more.“

“The food here is absolutely incredible, but you definitely have to pack your patience! We ordered the braised beef short rib (Kalbijjim) with the cheese addition, and watching them torch the cheese right at the table is an awesome touch. The meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, and the flavor is deeply rich and savory. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 purely because the wait times can get pretty ridiculous, even if you try to join the waitlist ahead of time. It’s definitely worth the hype, just be prepared to wait around outside.“

“this. place. was. FLAME.
the bibimbap and LA Galbi had authentic Korean flavors that i can’t find anywhere else in the East Bay or even SF! the galbi satisfied all of my kbbq cravings and my mom thoroughly enjoyed the dolsot bibimbap with spicy pork too!

the family running this restaurant seems very hardworking and are very friendly and caring toward their customers which we appreciated as well ☺️“

“One of the great things about Korean restaurants is the variety of side dishes they serve. This place also provided four different side dishes. There’s a saying that if the kimchi is good, the rest of the food will be good too—and in that sense, their kimchi was quite tasty.

The other side dishes were generally on the sweeter side, which is fairly common at other Korean restaurants as well. I ordered the soft tofu and bulgogi combo, and the taste was very familiar and approachable. It wasn’t anything particularly unique to this restaurant, but rather a flavor that most people would recognize and enjoy.

They offer a wide variety of Korean menu items, along with soju and beer. Considering the location and cost of living, the prices are about average, although the alcohol is a bit on the expensive side. I’d like to come back and try other dishes next time.“

“I love this place specifically in the mall, i cannot recommend enough! I get it every time I go to round 1 and the portons are CRAZY. For 2 entree and 2 side its like 20 bucks with a drink, and i cant finish it. Their rice is perfect as well and I love the kimchi.
(Try the spicy bbq chicken get a piece of kimchi and top it with rice, and eat it all at once. So good!)

It is in a food court so it's very noisy and it can be hard to find clean tables on a busy day, but thats more of a mall thing rather than Plus 82.

Something that i didnt like too much is that on your bank statement it shows at BOBA N ME. Probably a parent and child company situation, but i was thoroughly confused till i thought about why that was on my statement. That is just financial stuff though and doesnt take away from the experience of the food.“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“I love Vons Chicken! I really recommend their Honey Butter Chicken and Cheddar Chicken! The honey butter chicken is sweet and salty while the cheddar chicken is less sweet. Both are really delicious with white rice. Their servings are pretty good for the price. I order through DoorDash and it usually takes 20 minutes for them to get it ready. I highly recommend you to try it.“

“yes I do Jess about server Jess was amazing Xtra then normal she makes sure we have a great experience no bs for sure amazing jess.mn“

“I ordered a chicken katsu, but they then told me they were sold out and let me change it to a pork tonkatsu and also have me the option of a potato hotdog or something else because of the miss communication. super nice lady at the front. pork tonkatsu is really great. my only downside is they didn’t have unagi sauce as an option. it pairs really well with katsu“
