6 Best Korean Restaurants near Pasadena

“Food & service were both excellent! They haven’t fully opened indoor dining due to lack of employees. There was one lady inside taking orders & serving customers & she did a great job! Will definitely be back!“

“This was my first time visiting Tpot and it was mainly due to celebrating a birthday. There are many options to select and a buffet if that is your preference. Ice cream to go among other things like popcorn. It's probably not. A place that I will frequent due to having to cook your own food if not eating from the buffet. Its all about preference but just not for me.“

“Last Sunday I ventured to Ja Kum Sung, a Korean restaurant in Glen Burnie. The name “Ja Kum Sung” means “The Forbidden City” in Chinese characters, but it’s written in Hangul as Ja Kum Sung. This place is renowned for offering a taste of everything Korean cuisine has to offer, including Korean-style Chinese food. Yes, you heard that right—Korean-style Jajang myeon!

Jajang myeon, also known as black noodles, originally hails from the Shandong region of China as 炸醬麵. It made its way to Korea in the 1890s and has since evolved into the Korean-style Jajang myeon we know and love today. This restaurant’s Jajang myeon is nothing short of a masterpiece. I highly recommend the “Gan Jajang,” where the sauce, made by stir-frying chunjang without starch with vegetables and meat, is served separately.

The noodles are thick and chewy, and the fresh ingredients make each bite a delightful experience.

But wait, there’s more! Alongside the Jajang myeon, I also ordered Galbi tang. This soup is a heavenly concoction of tender, slow-cooked beef ribs in a rich, flavorful broth. My wife opted for Dogani tang, a dish similar to Seolleong tang but made with bovine cartilage instead of sliced beef. The milky bone broth topped with thinly sliced green onions is a sight to behold and a treat for the taste buds.

For our main course, we chose Yusanseul, a Korean-Chinese dish that originated in Korea. It’s a delightful stir-fry of shiitake mushrooms, sea cucumber, bamboo shoots, enoki mushrooms, shrimp, pork, chives, ginger, and garlic, thickened with starch. Just like Japchae, Yusanseul is a favorite among Koreans.

This restaurant is not just a place to fill your stomach; it’s a place to experience the essence of Korean cuisine. If you ever find yourself in Glen Burnie, make sure to visit this spot. You’ll enjoy delicious food and have a great time.“

“I HIGHLY recommend Red Tiger. my husband and I already loved their food but after how helpful they were after a ridiculous grubhub incident, I really appreciate them more. I ordered from grubhub because I was being so lazy and didn't want to leave my house. Well, grubhub had a guy all the way from Annapolis say he was on his to pick up our order like what? so what usually takes 20mins took over an hour. Red Tiger closed at 8... tried to call the grubhub driver to ask where he was twice went straight to voice mail.... grubhub finally canceled our order. we got a knock at the door and the gentlemen from Red Tiger delivered our order for us. he also couldn't get ahold of the grubhub driver but we live right up the street and delivered it. I could not thank him enough and tipped him for his kind service. Thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“!!! fresh and delicious FOOD !!!“

“Very good, for being somewhere in Annapolis! I was surprised to see a Korean hot dog place in Annapolis Mall since all I see is burgers and wings around here!

Service: absolutely wonderful! The staff is very friendly and helpful!

Recommendation: potato mozz with sweet chili, cheese mustard, and Parmesan
(I would NOT recommend anything with the hot dog in it, since the hot dogs here taste terrible, wish they had a sausage option like most Korean corn dog places do. If you get only mozzarella, make sure not to pull the cheese out too much cause it doesn’t stick to the inside of the bread. The bread was also a *little* undercooked, but still five stars because I love to promote a place that brings more culture into Annapolis ^^)

It was a good price for a nice, filling snack!
