50 Best Korean Restaurants near Yorba Linda

“Visited on a Saturday night for dinner and liked that they are open late. The staff was very friendly and the vibe was homey and laid back to enjoy a big meal and conversation with family and friends. My favorite dishes were tteokbokki, galbi-jjim, and garlic suyuk. Banchan and somaek were hits as well. Would definitely come back for the food and hospitality.“

“We had a great experience at Yangmani KBBQ! The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of high-quality meats and plenty of options to choose from.

The service was excellent from start to finish, and our server, Alex, was especially attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Alex’s great service really made the experience even more enjoyable.

We highly recommend Yangmani KBBQ to anyone looking for delicious Korean BBQ, great selection, and outstanding service. One of my favourite spots for KBBQ.“

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

“I was in the area and had missed my lunch so I decided to give it a try.
I got a build your own mini bowl with Beef and Dalcom (spicy&sweet) sauce. As a Korean, I knew this place was going to be good because they use actual kimchi and Korean gochujang sauce. But they also have other toppings and sauces.

The mini bowl felt like Regular size bowl. I am full and satisfied~“

“Food - ***** Service - ***** Atmosphere - **** Highly Recommend“

“This historic old Taco Bell building has had the makeover of a lifetime. Not only a fun little dining room but the food was amazing!!! Came in for the soft opening and will be back very soon. The Katsu and spicy curry was wonderful a nice bite but not too spicy. The dumpling's, cooked to perfection. Don’t pass this little gem by.“

“Tried the Curry Katsu Cup and it was everything I wanted it to be and more. Price was beyond reasonable and portions were generous. I also met the owner who was extremely nice and he recommended other dishes for next time. Will definitely come back.“

“Had a great experience at Eighty Eight Q! The food was really good, but the service from Hermione was what really stood out.

She was super attentive and somehow always knew when we needed more meat, sides, or dessert. She would check in at just the right time without us having to flag her down or ask. It made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.

You can tell she really pays attention to her customers and takes pride in her service. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve had at a Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“love this place! i’ve been here a few times and the food never disappoints. the prices are very reasonable as well. i’ve had the curry udon, sausage udon stir fry, korean corn dog and kimchi fried rice in the past and they all were very delicious. the family who runs the restaurant are very nice and the restaurant is decorated with lots of bulldog decor.“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“This is #1 Korean Food restaruant in LA hands down, it is the only restaurant I have seen that gives MORE food than the photos.

Pork Belly wrap is so authentic in taste I thought I was in Korea, and you can tell every item is super delicious. Plus it was big enough for 2- 3 people👏

I plan to try every single item this place offers.“

“Best best best Korean bbq in Fullerton Brea placentia Yorba linda area. After da Rae went out of business I had to find a new favorite spot. I love the Galbi. The cold noodle soup is top ranked number 1. And the bibimbap hot pot is great too.“

“One of my favorite spots for lunch in Downtown Fullerton. Spotlessly clean mom and pop spot, with friendly, helpful staff.

No frills. Just good food at a good price, served fast. Perfect spot for local employees to grab lunch and get back to the office in a half-hour.

If you haven't tried the Ubu, or you're weirded out by it, it's time to dive in and give it a try. Soft tofu skin, nice cool rice, and a heaping pile of your favorite filling. Honestly, they give you enough filling for two Ubus, easily. And it's delicious.

If you just want to pop in for a bowl of instant Ramyun, you cook it yourself on an EZ Cook, which is kinda fun. Plus, instant Ramen with an Ubu on the side for $10 is an unbeatable deal, right now.“

“Drove 1 & half hours to eat here & I highly recommend you make the drive too!!

It's delicious
Pictures do it no justice.
Service was excellent.
And the vibes were just right. Small family owned & ran business Roxy was great Chef is awesome.

Stop by & thank me later!“

“Excelente servicio y alimentos exquisitos“

“Nice and cozy place to grab a bite to eat. Service was easy and helpful, and I enjoyed my experience here. Even though their food is not necessarily something I would go out of my way to get, it tasted pretty good. The menu was a little vague, and some of the options seemed a little pricey, and perhaps we could've ended up getting better dishes. The restaurant itself smells pretty good once you walk in, and while the food tastes pretty good too, its taste doesn't seem to be on a par with its aroma. In other words, the smell is deceiving; make sure you know what you are ordering. The sides were pretty good and substantial. Beware: the Dawa Chicken tastes very sweet. Might recommend this place to another person, and might come back if I'm in the close area.

P.S. Public Restrooms are available.“

“I was really hyped about this place opening to add to the variety of Korean food around Chino Hills. Soonheene is very popular in South Korea which led me to add this place to my must try list of restaurants, they're known for their amazing street food and it didn't disappoint at all.

Staff were incredibly quick, attentive, and were very friendly in all aspects. Parking is plentiful, clean restroom, and a moderate amount of seating inside the restaurant. The interior is well maintained and just has good vibes when entering, there's also a TV on the wall that plays many variety shows to express just how popular this place is in South Korea.

1. We ordered their signature Tteokbokki and it comes in a decent amount of portions, a great shareable dish and very flavorful when it comes to the mix of sauce, rice cake, and fish cake. There's also a rose version which I also recommend. The Tteokbokki were savory and also not hard to crunch on, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable and addicting.

2. Another must try item is the Mayak Gimbap, comes in 8 pieces, another shareable dish. It's also very well made, with a mix of meat and vegetables, a decent appetizer to the main course.

3. The Oden Fish Cake Soup is also a classic street food signature dish to try. Highly recommend if you're a fan of fish cake, comes in a stick form which is a easy pick-me-up type food. Not too salty and is flavorful as well.

4. The Roasted Kimchi Pork Belly was the main dish we had as a shareable. I cannot fathom how well made this dish is made. The pork belly is super savory, chewy, and flavorful, mixes well with all the side garnishes and sauces.
Overall, Soonheene is definitely a good place for many occasions, dates, take out, and moderate size groups.

Decent prices for amazing quality food. They will always be my go to spot for amazing South Korean street food.“

“I recently visited Ma’s Banchan and was honestly impressed. The banchan tasted just like homemade food—fresh, balanced, and not overly salty. You can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation. The portions were generous for the price, and the staff was very friendly. It reminded me of the side dishes my mom makes at home. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The food and the service are all very good! The server was very nice to us and our dog, oh yes they are super pet friendly restaurant.

The food not only taste are good also the potion are very big. It’s better to have 3-4 ppl to dine with!“

“I had a good experience here. The food was fresh, the portions were solid, and everything tasted clean and simple, which I really liked. The service was quick and the staff were polite, so the whole visit was easy and smooth. The place is casual and convenient for a quick meal. Overall I enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.“

“I come here almost every Friday for my lunch and the manager Miguel & Betty the cook are very nice, welcoming and kind. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Great portions, quick service, and clean. Highly recommend. 👍“

“Moved from Pomona to Vegas and I miss this place... I'm having a hard time finding another place that rivals it. Everything I've ever ordered is amazing. Their soy garlic wings, full fried chicken, bossam, fire chicken, Korean army stew, the sojuritas... Will be coming back whenever I visit home.“

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

“We went here on Saturday for dinner for the first time and found the place to be very nice, cozy and food is very good. We ordered the Hand Pulled Dough Soup and the spicy squid with sides of rice noodles. Both were very tasty. I especially love the hand pulled dough soup. The soup is just right. Not salty, not spicy. I think it's one of the best soup we ever had.
The place is clean and service is very friendly. We just surprised this place is not all packed because the food is ready good.
Highly recommended this special Korean food restaurant and we marked this as one of our favorites.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“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.“

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

“Oh man, its a blessing & a curse that I haven't been here sooner. I've been getting the yubu pockets from h-mart for a while now and after coming here, how can i not come at least once a week?

Its about $5/$6 a pocket and I do think that they're pretty stacked. I got here right at opening and probably waited around 20 minutes for my food.

There's so many toppings to choose from but I think my top 4 would have to be the fresh salmon, fresh ginger tuna, grilled bulgogi & fluffy egg.“

“Came in to try this place. Guess. What. Very good food started whit the appetizer very good. Shirmp ramen very delicious. Chiken strips delicious. Sushi roll very good. Teriyaki bowl yummmmm. I invite everyone to stop and support this local restaurant. The owner is a very nice person and was outstanding on the service. Thank you chick flag definitely I be back“

“Went on a Monday night, ample seating no wait.

Got their bossam and a beef stew. Got the smallest bossam. These two dishes was enough for four adults. So ample portion size. Purple rice was also really tasty. Everything was pretty good, bossam especially. Would say the banchan were just ok tho.

Overall a solid place for some stews and bossam.“

“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.“

“I am not Korean but I love this restaurant. They serve true comfort food. The galbi tang is so tasty as well as the braised beef. Now that they started serving rice cake soup with dumpling, all of my Korean comfort food is in one place. Yay!“

“Excellent service and food“

“The food here is absolutely delicious. They serve truly authentic Korean cuisine, and the overall food quality is top-notch. You must try the Mul-Naengmyeon (cold noodle soup), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles), and especially the LA Galbi. The short ribs are cut thick, cooked to perfection, and the quality is noticeably better than other places. If you want to experience authentic Korean food in Chino Hills, I highly recommend this spot!“

“I tried the Bossam and Squid Stone Rice at Ondam, and both were amazing! The Bossam was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the fresh sides. The Squid Stone Rice was hot, savory, and full of flavor, with a delicious crispy layer of rice at the bottom. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. Definitely a five-star meal, and I would gladly order both dishes again!“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Such a great Korean restaurant in Chino Hills! Seoul Haus has a spacious, clean dining area and a huge parking lot, which makes it perfect for family dinners or group gatherings.

We tried several dishes and really enjoyed everything. The braised short ribs were tender, flavorful, and such a great value for the portion. I also loved the dried napa cabbage pork rib soup—the broth was rich and comforting without being too heavy. The spicy stir-fried baby octopus was tender and chewy with a delicious sweet and spicy sauce, and the sizzling beef was also very flavorful.

They also serve a nice variety of Korean side dishes, and you can ask for refills. The combo options are especially convenient if you want to try both a soup and a meat dish without ordering too much.

The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they really care about the food, cleanliness, and overall dining experience.

Definitely a hidden gem for Korean food in Chino Hills. We’ll be back!“

“Love it yummy food 🥘 good place to relax too 🍰💕“

“I was not expecting much just from looking at the place from the outside but I should know by now to not judge a book by it's cover. These Korean fusion pizzas were an incredibly delicious surprise. It is very spacious as we went with a pretty big party. This is definitely the new go to spot in this area. I can't wait to go back“

“This place exceeded our expectations! Every dish we ordered was delicious, especially the seafood jjamppong and the crispy fried chicken with fries. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the restaurant had a fun, authentic Korean pub vibe. If you’re looking for a great spot for dinner, drinks, and sharing plates with friends, I highly recommend this place. Definitely worth a visit!“

“My and bf always come here when we are in town. We found it one night while in downtown Fullerton because we really wanted Black Bean noodles. We are always trying to find places closer to home that serve the dish and make it as good, but haven’t been successful. The owners and servers are really nice and attentive.“

“This is the place we went to have a quick bite when we moved to Diamond Bar 8 years ago and then we found so many other places to eat and almost forgot this restaurant. Recently we visited this place again, the menu is same except price a little higher. The quality of food are same but now they gave you disposable chopsticks instead of re-usable ones in the past. Other than that, not much change, always busy but the waiting time is tolerable. I like this beef BBQ rib combo with seafood tofu soup and they are good. They don’t have steak knife but so provide a pair of scissors and a small pair of tongs so that you don’t have to eat BBQ beef with just chopsticks.“

“I was in Diamond Bar for work and was craving Korean BBQ, so I decided to check out SEOUL BBQ after seeing all the great reviews. Let me tell you… this place did NOT disappoint!
If you can make it for lunch, their $24.99 AYCE lunch special is one of the best deals around. The banchan came out first, and everything was fresh and delicious, but the glass noodles were my favorite. I could’ve eaten those all day!
Then the meat started rolling out… game over. The prime rib, beef belly, and brisket were all fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Add a little salt, throw it on the grill, and wowww… every bite was amazing.
We also ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and spicy tofu soup, and every side dish hit the spot. The service was quick, the staff kept checking on us, and they never let the grill get too crowded.
For $24.99, the quality and variety are hard to beat. If you’re looking for a solid AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Diamond Bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Soooo good… let’s go!“

“Great place to get Korean side dishes (banchan). Pick up some sides, make rice at home and dinner is a snap. Dishes are made with care and they also carry artisanal specialty items. One of my favorite places to go when I don't have time to cook.“

“This is the Best Flame Broiler I’ve been to.
It’s amazing how the customer service can elevate a Franchise to the next level.
This business is 2nd to none.

See you tomorrow!

Thank you“

“Eat there only if you want to be treated like dirt. I am sick and tired of their way of treating their customers. They don't do reservations and their wait system is unforgiving and insane. 1. Long wait times like 1.5 hours 2. But with that long wait time, they only give you 10 minutes to "all be there" when they tell you table is ready. 3. That's not even the worst. They put a "wait time" estimate near their check in table. So you would think that is a solid guideline right? But no. The REAL wait time can swing a good 30 minutes both ways. Say they put "Current Wait time is 1.5 hours" you could get a call at 1 hour mark. And then they give you 10 minutes to get your party to be there. And they give you hell if your party can't make it like it's your fault that you don't have crystal ball to tell that your table will be ready in one hour’s time. I have tolerated it coz their food is actually really good. Meat quality is good etc etc. What broke the camels back today is. I checked in at 5:45 today. Wait time is 1.5 hours. So estimate sit time is 7:15 right? When I get the text that table is ready at 7:05 I thought all is awesome. AND THEN they told me that are actually having a staff party tonight and last call is at 8. That leaves my party less than an hour to do an AYCE dinner. I was furious. So I question them, “Why didn't you tell your customer that when they checked in?” "Well, we put the notice on the door. You didn't see it! So… 🤷🏻‍♀️” 1. There are a bunch of white and black notices all over the door and check in area. 2. And yes. My eye sight is not awesome. I didn't see it. But shouldn't it be THEIR JOB to let customer know VERBALLY when they check in that they are shifting the last call time an hour early? That’s basic decency. I wasted almost 2 hours there and by then it’s like lines all over the place for any place. I am never going back again for a restaurant that treats their customer like dirt so they can make money off me any more.“

“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.“

“Great for a group lunch! came here and picked up our teams lunch for an event nearby, the staff was so friendly and even helped me carry everything to my car. Great bowls and reasonably priced! I will be back whenever I’m in the area. There are a few tables inside and outside if you want to dine in but this is very much a to-go vibe!“

“Came here on a short vacation to Disney for the kiddo. My best friend is from South Korea, point of that is to say I’ve eaten a lot of shabu and kbbq. Great quality food, staff was literally grabbing the plates as they were emptied, very nice and fast. Didn’t try the shabu this time but the meat quality was worth every dollar. Highly recommend!“

“Fast service. Love the chefs touch. Warm and golden brown chicken. I always go here after the gym for meal prepping bowls-3- plus a discount. They always have deals and give the best prices. They always give more. I love it here definitely going always. Been busy more often. Overall they are getting popular“
