50 Best Korean Restaurants near West Covina

“The taste of the food in this place is really delicious, I have returned too many times and I never tire of trying the tofu soups that offer without a doubt the best place for you to choose to go to eat alone or with your family, the service is super nice I give it 10/10“

“This place is located in the plaza where Tokyo Central Market is located. The lunch special menu was very extensive. I tried the pig hock rice dish and it was decent, but the lean portion of the pork was bit tough to chew. Each dish came with a salad, but no dressing?!? There were also a good variety of hot pots for $15, which nowadays is reasonable. The service was friendly and efficient. Overall, it was a good lunch and we will return to try other items.

Parking: Inside of the Tokyo Central Market plaza.

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair here.“

“I discovered Namu Kitchen on accident and I’m SO glad I did. This was my first time having Korean breakfast and it’s now one of my all time favorites. For my first visit, I had their breakfast plate, a delightful and balanced meal, featuring fluffy scrambled eggs with savory mushrooms, a fresh mixed greens salad, crispy kale, sweet strawberries and blueberries, and a satisfying sausage. The whole grain toast with tangy orange jam ties it all together. Paired with the cozy atmosphere and friendly service, this thoughtfully prepared plate makes for a wholesome and enjoyable breakfast experience. Highly recommended! And shout out to Juan for the great service! Thank you!!!“

“Kopan is my go-to place for sushi. I generally go for date night or sometimes by myself because the intimate ambience really lends itself to a quiet night of Japanese dining. The nigiri quality is superb and pairs well with a nice warm bowl of miso soup. The service has been on point, and it's clear that they try to take care of their customers. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.“

“The food was so tasty, the service was excellent, and they were organized.“

“If you’re looking for premium Korean bbq without having to go Ktown then Yangmani is where you need to go. Haven’t had such tender cuts of beef in a long while. For those worrying about the price, they do have different combos, but trust me once you had good quality bbq here you would feel it’s worth it! ? My friend loved their beef tartare and I would recommend getting the beef cap and giant beef rib ?? love the full service and clean environment.“

“A place where I could soothe my stomach with Korean food when I felt tired of American food.
There is a 90 minute time limit
You can freely order from the menu during any given time. However, the menu may be limited depending on the type of set requested.
While we were eating, we had birthday parties at 4 tables (including ours haha).
You can hear Kpop and taste a variety of meats in a lively atmosphere.
The waiting line may be long during meal times, so be sure to make a reservation before visiting.“

“Korean street food for the win! Hanshin Pocha is one of my favorite places to eat!! I'm not often in Rowland Heights, but when I am? Shieeeet... you can bet your bottom dollar I'm over here getting my grub on!

Whole grilled squid? Yes. Sapporo cold jumbo beer? Yes. Whole Korean fried crispy chicken that they break up table side? Yes. Ultimate spicy chicken feet? Why yes, thank you!

Don't make that face. Chicken feet are TOP TIER... you have NO EXCUSE to not try them unless you don't eat chicken. If you eat chicken legs? The foot is only an inch farther down... don't be a food wuss! Your spicy tolerance must also be TOP TIER... because these will burn your soul. Satan himself will need a glass of cold Sapporo, lol ??. Everything is so so flavorful & seasoned just right. I love it!

The service is also great because the waitstaff doesn't hover. Gimme my grub & lemee lone! They do. There's also a call button on your table, kinda like in an airplane. If you need something, just push the button & a server comes immediately. If you're in the area & want a great cultural experience with fantastic food, Hanshin is a MUST! (and yes, I was eating alone. Big Backs forever?)“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“I came to hungry bull dog restaurant in diamond bar and it was soo good. I ordered a few dishes like the k style corn dog with pepper jack cheese and sausage, katsu with side of curry, bulgogi beef bulldog bowl, and lastly.. the kimchi fried rice. It was so much food and I loved eating inside their cute restaurant.“

“Ib is an incredible server and always is attentive to my table. He’s super friendly and made the night a good time. Food was great and soju was great as always. The vibe here is amazing and everyone should try it for sure! 100% recommend!“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“tasty!

A traditional Korean family restaurant, the side dishes can have a homemade flavor that is different from other restaurants.

The food was served slowly, and there was unlimited rice for free. I ordered two extra bowls of spicy fried pork rice! Delicious and filling“

“The beefy gamjatang and the aged gamjatang are both delicious, so I always have a hard time deciding what to order. The bossam is very delicious and the side dishes, especially the garlic-flavored kimchi, are very delicious!!! It's a restaurant with delicious and healthy food :)“

“I had the Spicy Stir-Fried Squid with Rice and it was absolutely delicious! The squid was tender and packed with flavor, perfectly complemented by the rice and side dishes (banchan). The portion was generous, and the spice level was just right for me—enough heat to keep it exciting but not overwhelming. The service was friendly and fast, making for an overall fantastic dining experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors!“

“Great experience, for their soft-open! Very friendly and kind staff, clean dining area and restroom, & affordable menu. Staff is very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful

Vegetarian options: Tofu, fried rice, shiitake mushroom, egg, fries

Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian friendly“

“This place has good Korean food. It's a good place to bring your family or friends. Your mother or grandmother will not complain about the food. They give large portions and the side dishes are really good. Services quick and very friendly. Not many people seem to know about this place which is kind of nice because you don't have to wait in line to get a table. There's plenty of parking in the back. Definitely I will come here again especially with my mom.“

“We, a family of 4, ordered the famous Koh Galbi Jjim (#25 on menu) which is a type of braised beef short ribs, back ribs, and oxtails with potatoes. We added cheese and it was blow torch to melt the cheese at our table before serving. Quite a show. Lol. It tastes heavenly good, the balance of the sweetness, saltiness and spicy (we choose #2 in spicy amount, btw) from its sauce was perfectly paired with the purple rice. Nicely done. Lots of quality meat (size L). I also ordered a Teuk Galbi Tang (#8 on menu) which is a beef short ribs and back ribs soup with slice oyster mushrooms and glass noodles, it was OK, not memorable like the #25. ?In total, the bill was $172 including tips, NO alcohol or soft drinks, btw. We left with full tummies and very satisfied with the food.
Would definitely come back again.
FYI, restaurant is open 24h. Parking is hard to find during peak time and weekend. Come in early because its always has a line.“

“This is a soondubu (spicy silky soft tofu soup) restaurant like BCD chain. You can order combo menu with a meat or fish entree with a version of soondubu soup. You can select the spicy level and toppings for the soup. I thought the soup is really good but the meat dishes except for the LA rib were too sweet. Ban Chan (side dishes) were just average. For Diamond Bar I think this outlet is fine. There is plenty of parking in the shopping mall lot.

Parking: Plenty

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s on the ground floor with wheelchair ramp.“

“SOONHEENE is a very famous place in South Korea.I was so excited that I ordered most of the menu and everything was delicious! In particular, the mung bean pancake, rose tteokbokki, and donkatsu are fantastic. All the staff were friendly and provided good service as well ?“

“Complex, authentic Korean flavors made with traditional p ingredients. A humble porridge could become a pleasantly enjoyable experience. I ordered bulnakji porridge today and instead of using ground beef or cheap meat, they used a good quality meat and then they sautéed the marinated bulgogi in butter. mmm. Chives/buchu they used were fresh and green. So was the octopus. Often times you taste the fishiness but this octopus or nakji had a very clean flavor. The venue and the food they served were very clean. I highly recommend this place.“

“Every time I visit Ma’s Banchan, the owner is incredibly friendly, and the food is always clean and well-prepared. You can really tell that they use high-quality ingredients, so I feel confident eating here. The seasoning is just right, and the food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place! ?“

“Great service, accommodating servers even with a packed place of people“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! The food is so good and the people working there are the most friendliest I've ever met!!! I'm definitely coming back here for more food!!! 5 stars!!!“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant ever. The only thing I order, however, is the dumpling sundubu with added enoki mushrooms, extra spicy. I've never brought someone to this restaurant without them begging me the following week to take them again. Highly recommend. They also have another location in Chino Hills.“

“Really, really good food. The pork ribs were amazing.“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“Best duck in the Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills area. We always order duck served 3 ways - soup, sliced peking duck with thin wrap and green onions, and deep fried duck bones. While you’re there get some of the crispy pork belly too .“

“The food and service was better than expected. I highly recommend this place“

“Just my daughter-in-law and me, spent our quality time well and satisfied. They were so delicious, except the pickles. We both planned to be back again.“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“Had a great first experience dining at Lucky Pig. Food was amazing! We tried a variety of dishes from Hire Katsu, Ball Katsu, Omurice, and Katsu Sando. All items were outstanding! Service was great, and the restaurant was clean and well kept. We will be back! Highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Located on a less visited side of the plaza, there's this Korean restaurant that has fair prices food and portions.

Standard to all Korean restaurant, we were served with various side dishes which were pretty good flavor breakers for the food that was coming in.

We ordered a cold noodle dish, a Tripe/Brisket Glass noodle dish, and the premium bossam.

The staff was kind enough to inform us how to eat the premium bossam, providing lettuce to create a mixture wrap.

Alternating between the bossam and brisket was a easy break of flavor between the two, and you would quickly devour both in no time.

I wouldn't say there was anything in particular that stood out from this place, but sometimes you don't need a WOW place to eat at, and instead a quickly seated restaurant for some comfy food is all you need.“

“The food was really good, especially the spicy pork belly. It was the best meat I think. And their cilantro onion salad is really tasty too.

Staff is very kind and helpful and it doesn’t take long to get the attention of a server and get help as well which is awesome.

The only bad thing is ventilation. It gets really smoky eventually when it’s busy and the smoke stings your eyes a lot so it eventually got really uncomfortable. We asked if it was ok to open the back door we were next to in order to clear the smoke. They should just have the back door always open since their ventilation is having some issues unsure if it’s unable to keep up or what exactly but they should just keep the back door open and it completely solves the problem. I’d rather deal with my legs being chilly from time to time than my eyes burning and stinging and being unable to see

Kid-friendliness: I really appreciated that there are high chairs available and the staff was extremely kind and even though my baby made a mess throwing food on the floor when I went to go pick it up they told me it was ok that they sweep the floors anyway and I don’t have to do that. So it’s very family friendly and they have lots of food options that my 11 month old could eat too which was awesome since sometimes it can be difficult to find something that is baby friendly since he doesn’t have all his teeth“

“It's been a while since I tried Korean food which is not Korean barbecue. It's very good service and the food comes out very fast. We ordered a couple of items, and liked the rice ball and "Yup Oh". Pork chops are definitely I recommend because they are juicy and tender. However, boneless chicken feet are a little bit disappointing for a small portion of amount, too much rice ball inside and a little bit more spicy than usual. (Ordered extra mild) The blood sausage is okay. Overall, I may come back for other items if possible with friends. In addition, I recommend it to people who want traditional Korean food and gathering with friends here.“

“We had the Spicy Blue Crab Stew and Seng Bulgogi. Our waiter cooked the Seng Bulgogi right at our table. Don’t miss out on wrapping the bulgogi in rice paper or pickled radish—it adds an extra layer of deliciousness. The portions are generous, and the banchans are amazing!“

“This is a traditional Korean style restaurant. It specializes in goat soup. I also recommend the sundae assortment. All the Korean dishes here are worth trying. The owner is pretty and takes great care of her customers. The restaurants in this commercial complex have been in business for a long time and are steady. There is also a boba place right next door where you can go for dessert.“

“Second time eating here when I stop by the super H Mart. Food always comes out fresh and tasty. Only positive things to say about this establishment. Steam buns and dumplings are my go to choice. Definitely be back again to try other dishes.“

“A satisfying meal.
It reminds me of the Jjajangmyeon I used to eat in Korea. Haha
The sweet and sour pork is so delicious that it makes me think that other dishes would be delicious as well.
A restaurant that makes you want to try other dishes.
The Chinese sweet potato stew served at the end with the bill is a delightful delicacy.

The service was friendly, delicious, and the price was reasonable, so I had a pleasant meal.“

“A nice place for Korean comfort food. Their food was delicious. I particularly liked jajjangmyeon. The seafood noodle was not very spicy and it’s good for me! It comes with seeet and sour pork as combo. My server speaks English well and I didn’t have cold sweat when trying to communicate with servers like most Korean restaurants I’ve been to.“

“First time here we celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday. The food was delicious. They have big portions to share. Our server was so sweet we had little ones with us so she asked if we wanted the food to be cooked in the kitchen. My son (7) and granddaughter (3) picky eaters really liked the food. Thank you so much“

“Came here pretty much when they opened for the day, there was already some people inside for a Saturday. When we finished eating, the restaurant was barely half full?

Food wise, the bbq meats are pretty decent cuts for what you pay for and the big shrimp we ordered is actually pretty good. They didn't have a real fishy smell, which is a plus, knowing some places just serve what they have sitting out.

There is a sauce bar with appetizers near the front of the restaurant, the bar itself is already baked into the price, there isn't any extra fee. There is also a self serve sherbet freezer with three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and rainbow, as of writing this.

For the non grill foods, the soup and cold noodles are decently portion, definitely should split it up with others so you don't overfill. The popcorn chicken can be ordered as a half order, and to my surprise, it actually is pretty decent in terms of texture and juiciness, only downside is I wish they used some spice in the coating to give it a bit more oomph.

Overall, if I am ever in the area here, I might consider coming back when I'm looking for AYCE.“

“A legit Hawaiian food spot, I haven't had a good garlic shrimp plate in CA until now (it reminds me of Giovanni's shrimps). Also, I tried their crunchy Gojujang fried chicken and beef ribs and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend these dishes as a first timer here and wash it down with Dole pineapple slushy.“

“Really lovely, kind, homey service (hot tea to start, they even wiped down the high chair for us) and delicious Korean food. We especially loved their 들깨칼국수 (noodles with perilla seed) which is filled with delicious veggies in a thick nutty soup. Side dishes were fresh and tasty and the spiced soy sauce to dip dumplings in was a nice touch.“

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“This is my favorite Korean restaurant!“

“Good comfort food. The stone pot was delish and came out so so hot. It was still steaming at the end of the meal. I had a lot of leftover and the side dishes were fresh and tasted good.The two ladies were patient with me on all my questions about the menu and the sauces. I was expecting them to be mean since so many reviews said they were but they were really nice and I came within the hour of closing and didn't feel rushed.I ordered the stone pot galli and the galbi combo. Both were good and the meat was not over cooked. Total for both dishes came out to almost $80“

“Came here for the first time today and got a jumbo beef hot dog. I told the cashier to just give me whatever was most popular. She said the potato topping was the most popular, so I went with that. A few minutes later when my order was up she recommended dipping it in sugar. For sauces I just stuck with basic ketchup and mustard.

Overall it was good and the outside was nice and crunchy. After the first 2-3 bites the potato definitely felt a little much. The sugar didn't really add anything for me. Next time I would try it without the potato and sugar, and maybe try the sweet chili and parm sauces.

Parking: free mall parking“

“Well done and make me full“
