Korean Restaurants near La Verne

“Found this place while driving around in La Verne after getting fitted for my bike and decided to give it a try. Ordered the pastrami sandwich with zucchini fries and was surprised about how much they give and how good it was. The staffs were pleasant and made me feel comfortable with the menu. The restaurant have an amazing menu with different options to try. Will come back next time to try the other items on the menu.“

“Amazing , amazing, amazing!!! Unsuspecting place with food that blew my mind. This was probably the best food (out of all cuisines) I've had in a while.... Flavors are out of this world! Well prepared, super fresh, creative combinations... will definitely be back“

“This is in response to Robert B review. I was eating when I overheard the tail end as that's when the customer started raising his voice. Which struck me as odd since I didn't hear the employee say anything rude or threatening. What I heard was a customer who was talking down to an employee, saying how the Verizon store and the jewelry shop got robbed, and how he should be careful because your store is next. I thought to myself how does he know Flamebroiler is next? Does the customer know this. And that when I heard the employee ask should we call the police? "Understandable I mean if I worked at an establishment and I was told by a stranger your store is going to be next, I would think about the safety of my coworkers. That's when the customer started yelling and ranting. To be honest I didn't pay too much attention but you can tell by his demeanor that the customer was just having a bad day, and was just looking to let off steam. He left in such a rush I can hear his tires squealing on his way out of the parking lot, Like he had just committed a crime. TLDR I had great customer service and some people need to take it easy. Employees do not get paid enough to deal with other people's problems. 10/10 this is my new favorite store. Will visit again.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing and presented with a good value. I was most impressed by The Galbi-jjim as well as the banchan with the dotori muk or acorn jelly noodle. Very fresh meat, good portions for sharing. I loved the bright lights, colors, and the giftshop.Dietary restrictions: Please note that some of the soups have shellfish in addition to the listed ingredients.Parking: The parking lot is completely free behind the gas station and there won't be no problems.Kid-friendliness: Sharing is not a problem the kids also can share from the combo grill plates. Plenty of non-alcoholic drinks are available to order.“

“Happened to visit this new spot on our way back from Las Vegas. A group of friends (6 adults) ordered a mungbean pancake, kimchi mungbean pancake, kimbap, odeng soup, ramen teokbokki, and a pork belly stir. Overall this was a satisfying meal to end the weekend!“

“As per....always fuegs...the galbi w/cheese. Muah!!! Can't go wrong. Also had tteok (rice cakish?) , potatoes , carrots, onions and a few other things lol. For 3 ADULTS lol we were full!. Also banchan was fire. Kimchi is on point for us. 2 other ones as well. Some kind of slightly spicy/sweet scallions and I think radish kimchi both were yum as well. We're definitely gonna get it hotter next time. We only got medium?!“

“This place is a “to-go” place where you can order fried chicken (plain or marinated with spicy sauce or soy sauce). I ordered 2 combo meals at $17 for each. The price was right and it tasted great. It’s a bit far (20 min driving) from my home but will definitely visit again for pick up of my orders.Parking: Public parking lots are shared with other businesses.“

“On my way to Big Bear, we stopped by this restaurant. It's my first time having Korean BBQ and all I can say is that I am blown away!They give you side dishes that are delish, I really enjoyed this place and wish I lived closer to here!The service was outstanding even on a very busy night.“

“It's been 6 months since I came to America...I really wanted to eat soy sauce..Although it was recommended by many Koreans, I had never eaten it in Korea.It's on my tongue! I couldn't find the cold soybean paste.In the United States, you can't eat freshly made soy sauce.After becoming a fait accompliYongmunru arrived at the end of Susomun Gate without any expectations...Even though I visited at 1pm, it was crowded with people.It's just famous and the taste is so-so...?Half worried...half excitedOrdered [Ganjajang, Samseon Jjajang, Jjambbong, Kkanpung Shrimp, Green Onion Beef].As soon as I saw the amount of sauce and meat mixed into the soybean paste, my mouth watered!As I am from Gangsangdo, I was very disappointed that there were no eggs in the soy sauce.Other than that, it was a Chinese restaurant with a fantastic combination of sauce, vegetables, and meat.From now on, that damn thing from Ganjjajang!If you miss the taste of cold sauce and noodlesI definitely plan to go and eat there...If there was just one thing that was disappointing...If the noodle is a little thinnerWouldn't it have been a bit awkward? Yongmunru, which I thought was...It would be difficult to find this quality soybean paste in LA.Thank you for existing at Yongmunru.The combination of fried shrimp and sauce is so bad.In the other world, Reveru...You can't find it often in KoreaGreen onion beef is a must-have menu item at Chinese restaurants in the United States...Did the incense of the fire really bring hellfire?Crazy green onion beef that won't stop you from chopping with chopsticksYongmunru is not only good at Jjajang.It's a restaurant with amazing sides.I appoint you as the Gatmunru of the LA Ganjjajang world.This concludes Jjajang Diary.“

“The food was delicious. We ordered the knife cut noodle soup and the spicy pork sizzler. Both were super fresh and you could taste the high quality ingredients! The bonchon were perfect too. Service from Ken to top it all off was excellent. Definitely coming back :)“

“It was our first time eating at Love Letter and we enjoyed the food. We tried some items we haven’t seen before like bulgogi pizza and bulgogi fries, both were delicious and would definitely recommend.We also tried their corn cheese and extra crispy wings, I’ve always seen videos of people wrapping the wings in the corn cheese and the combination was real good.The staff was very nice and attentive and we enjoyed how all the TVs were playing KPop music videos.We will definitely be coming back here“

“Great coming back to our new fave KBBQ spot. Prefer it much more than Gen. Love the “butcher style” vibes and how they cook for you. Great cuts of meat!!! Gio, Calvin, Devin were great hosts. Super consistent across diff locations. Highly recommend this place.“

“Finally came on the recommendation of a K-Town Cowboy Buddy and happy I made it out! Solid Kbbq non-AYCE option in Rowland/Eastern SGV. Went with a college buddy and family and ordered the premium combo with mega galbi! More than enough meat for a party of 4 adults and 4 young kids! Solid value and great quality.“

“Small, clean, and well organized store. Sheer variety of items available Is impressive. Cannot overstate the quality of this selections. Value and pricing are very reasonable also. I just wish this place was closer to me. What a hidden gem. Local businesses like this deserve your business because they do it right. Such a great place for Korean takeout food. Please keep in mind that this is not a restaurant take away catering is more apt. Make rice at home and everything else you can get from great business“

“Actually really surprised at the quality of the food and how pleasant the service is. Definitely doesn't feel like a bar outside of the look and the music. Oddly enough, my kids love the whole Korean fried chicken and asked to eat it again lol. The bulgogi fries are fr fire though. We've also ordered the squid legs (which my kids love as well) and the seafood pasta which is a generous portion and pretty darn good.“

“Excellent service and great food! Had made a reservation for a large party, greeted us by name and tables were prepared with side dishes when we arrived. Waiter went above and beyond, was attentive and accommodating. Great quality food as well!“

“Came down to Walnut to visit my family...and we were wondering what to eat .. In n out ? Happy wok? Casa Alvarez? McDonald's ? No more Colima Burger :( So I looked on yelp and scrolled down till I came upon Country Chicken & Taco Frank was nice and explained the menu... I would say pre order is best because it takes about 15-20 minutes ... they're delicious , we got the buffalo , garlic sauce, tacos , mozzarella sticks , Fries .. my family loved it all. Fed 5-6 people. Would go again.“

“They have so many yummy dishes here! Way more than expected at a cafe.Highlights of the menu:1. Mini hot pot: Mongolia lamb and Satay beef2. Pork belly skewers3. Lamb skewers4. Beef aorta skewers5. Spicy wonton6. Eel bibimbap7. Short rib with quail egg and tofu8. Stirred beef with quail egg and rice9. Beef bulgogiDrinks:10. Mango pomelo sago11. Oreo brulee matcha12. Mango coconut smoothie“

“BBQ Chicken in Rowland Heights is the best Korean fried chicken spot of all the franchises in the area! Their wings are so big, so juicy, and always served fresh out of the kitchen! I tried out this other chicken spot off Instagram that left me disappointed so I had to come here to properly fix my cravings. The cheesling fries are to die for! I also like how bb.q chicken has interesting flavors that other places don't offer such as their Gangnam style, Galbi, or secret sauce. Yes, their prices are a little higher than competitors but it's well worth it in my opinion. Come to bb.q Chicken Rowland Heights if you love chicken!20/25“

“A hidden gem in Diamond Bar!!! And they actually open until 10pm. For Diamond Bar standards that's pretty late. We love Tofu Bean - Diamond Bar. This Tofu Bean is owned by the same great owner of the Tofu Bean of Rowland Heights. Their Banchan (side dishes) are the best. The potato side dish and kimchi are my favorites. When you order a combination, the tofu soup is the same size as the regular tofu soup orders. Check them out - I highly recommend.“

“We love Cham Sut Gol. The people are so nice!!!!! The quality of the beef was so nice and the bonchon were flavorful and they were always ready to refill it. Our eyes were hungrier than our bellies so we took quite a long time finishing dinner but the people never rushed us out. We will be coming back next time we need a kbbq fix.“

“This place definitely should have over 5 stars! Absolutely delicious and the service by Michelle was way over the top. She was very delightful and very helpful. And my girlfriend and I both had our meals that were way better than any average Korean restaurant. We really enjoyed our experience here and we highly recommend anyone to come try a very tasty Korean food with awesome service. Thank you!“

“Great spot for Korean noodles/soups. My friends and I tried their cold buckwheat noodle soup (mul naeng myun), ox bone soup with slices beef (sul-long tang), bulgoki hot pot, and spicy baby octopus. Everything was done well and the food came out quickly.Their buckwheat noodles have a strong buckwheat flavor and it was nice to salt our dishes to our preference at the table. We were also provided with vinegar, horseradish sauce, scallions, a garlic sauce, and gochujang. The soup that came with the buckwheat noodles was perfect for a warm day. The ox bone soup was also nice and light while also have a strong meaty flavor.The bulgoki hot pot was a hot stone bowl with a layer of rice and bulgogi meat with onions on top. The bowl kept the rice very hot and gave it a good bit of char. The baby octopus was also perfectly cooked.The restaurant itself felt clean and well-kept and we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I'm munching on their Crispy Ban Ban chicken with signature sauce as I type this. First time here tonight and Kayla took care of me. The options are many and I was too hungry to make any decisions so I just asked her to hook me up, and she did not disappoint!! Wish I knew of this place sooner, I'll be coming back over and over. Thanks Kayla“

“First is their spicy pork belly with cheese is their best dish. Don’t worry it’s more on the sweeter side than spicy for all my non spice humans. Next is their huge steamed egg. This is the largest pot of steamed eggs iver ever seen and they’re so fluffy and simple but delicious nonetheless. I also tried their Tteokbokki but I felt that the rice cakes were overcooked but I like that they had beef belly on top. Portions are large.“

“Food was amazing, it was quiet and mostly empty when I went. There was a moment nearing the end of my meal when a Karen came in and sat herself, and started to hassle the server over mistranslation of words (from Japanese to English) so she yelled at them and stormed out. Either way, dinner and a show. And a complimentary miso soup would go back again for sure. Service 10/10“

“I had the Peking Duck Combo Meal twice, both times takeout and they were very good and tasty.The location was previously a Korean fast food and that’s why you see reviews of Korean food mixed in here. Google should really fix this problem.Back to the Duck Palace. The duck was well seasoned and delicious. The meat was carved out with both skin and meat so it is not just skin only. This is just another style of eating Peking Duck, not more or less “authentic “ as I had both styles in China, in Beijing no less. The combo meal comes with a Duck soup, first time it was real good, the second time I think the cook tipped the whole bottle of pepper in it ?. The carcass of the duck, mainly the neck and leg bones, were deep fried and they are surprisingly tasty, excellent when washed down with a cold beer.“

“We have gone here a couple of times for their bossam which is on top of our list amongst the other bossam places within 10 miles around the area but we recently tried their marinated crab and I'll tell you now, it is top notch!! I would actually say it is the best we have had so far compared to the famous ones around the LA area. The only difference is you have to call in advance to order their marinated crab, usually 2 weeks, I believe, after the beginning of the month, making it extra special. This is a family owned business that says a lot about the place how each food they serve is from the heart. Give it a try. You'll probably come back over and over like us. Oh, and their side dishes are to die for!“

“Wow, Bonjuk and Bibimbap is awesome! My only regret is not knowing about this place sooner. I can see why it’s one of the most popular chains from Korea. The restaurant was clean and modern looking inside, and the food was phenomenal. It was a healthy, lighter option compared to some other spots in the area. Our server was also super nice.We ordered the mushroom + bulgogi bibimbap and seafood pancake. Both were absolutely delicious, and I look forward to coming back again soon.The chicken ginseng soup was also very healing and tasty! There was some dates, rice and green beans in it which was a nice touch.“

“I absolutely love this Korean tofu restaurant! The exceptional service makes every visit a delight. Even on weekends, the wait time is reasonable. The dishes consistently deliver on quality and flavor, making it a reliable go-to spot for a satisfying meal.“

“Just a little hole in the wall , with really good food, older decor, nothing special for dining in, but really good food and fast with a friendly staff, definitely more of a lunch or dinner take out place, but really good food, did I mention the really good food?“

“WOW!!! What a fun atmosphere. The service was amazing!! It has plenty of seats, lots of choices,good food and a well lit restaurant. They serve food, soda, beer and soju. Definitely a spot me and my hubby will go back to. We got dirty fries and they were so good. We topped it with spicy chicken, cajon ranch, garlic, with jalapeno, bacon and kimchi. So much flavor and the fries were crispy.“

“Yesterday was Good Friday. My family and I had originally planned to go have dinner at Grab Crab, but the wait was outrageously long. I believe that when I checked in, we had 18 people ahead of us. So, instead, we decided to go Sosom Ramen Bar & Bossam. Luckily, when we got here, it was nice and empty. We got seated right away, and the order was taken really quickly. This was our second time coming to this place. The first time we came, I dont remember much, but we decided to come back anyway. This round was much rememberable. The waiter was on top of everything, making sure we had refills on our water and gave us extra sides. He checked up on us multiple times to see if we needed anything else. Honestly, the food was just perfect. Like 10 min into our dinner, the restaurant started to fill up. The vibe with the customer everyone enjoyed their food. If you want to try Bossam, this is going to place. I don't think they will let you down. Meat is super tender, and the sauce is yummy. Just writing this makes my mouth water.“

“If I could give Kimchi Delight six stars, I would! This place is an absolute gem for Korean cuisine lovers like myself. The Kimchi Rice here is a total bomb - spicy, tangy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. It's like a party in your mouth! And don't even get me started on the Ramen. It's simply amazing; I could slurp that broth all day. The noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are generous.The owner is very friendly and kind, she made me feel like I was invited to a family dinner.“

“The food was enjoyable. The service was a bit lacking during 6pm service due to only 3 servers. The restaurant is decorated very nice and clean and modern for small restaurant. It needs more customers but competition in the area is high. I hope the business does well.“

“I've ordered the bibimbap and soondubu combo for lunch before. It came with a huge portion of bibimbap. Also got the beef soondubu a couple times for dinner. I always get it mild, while my girlfriend gets it hot. I am not a huge fan of spicy foods so the mild was perfect for me. I also tried some of the hot soondubu and it wasn't overbearingly spicy. Now onto the taste...their soondubu is some of the best I've had in both Norcal and Socal. They also do not skimp on the beef or tofu!! Their banchan are also all very good, some are a little too salty, but still very tasty.“

“It was such a great date night or friends night out. They have 2 different menus to choose from with a ton of different options for meats and sides. Didn't have a long wait for a friday night. Not much parking though. Had to park in an adjacent parking lot and walk over.“

“Amazing service from both of the owners. The restaurant is very clean and the restrooms are spotless. If you're wanting to go somewhere that feels like you're in a different country or are at home, this is the spot. Highly recommend coming here to enjoy and support a mom and pop business!“

“This restaurant been here for many years, i didnt get to try it until recently.I think its a good all you can eat kbbq place, server is nice many tables and few big tables areas.Beef tongue, beef belly, marinated beef short ribs, and steamed eggs are good.“

“The food, the ambiance, service, EVERYTHING is amazing! Hands down best pho, noodles in town! My go to is #85 Ughhhhhh soo good! My husband and I also share the fried rice and it's so yummy it's a perfect pare with the noodles! The service is fast even on rainy days when everyone is craving soup, so don't let long lines stop u from trying this place.“

“I passed by the restaurant around 3 pm on Sunday and bought takeout. I bought 2 flavors, one was original fried chicken and the other was sweet and spicy. I bought half portions of each and waited on site. 20 minutes and take away, total $32.99+tax=$36.12Comes with a small box of sweet and sour pickled radish.The Korean guy was very nice. I ate the fried chicken at home. I thought the original fried chicken was still delicious. A half portion was 7-8 yuan.The sweet and spicy ones were not very tasty, so I threw them away after eating half of them. Such a waste.“

“So comforting! We have been eating here at the Combo House for many years with them gone through couple ownership changes. Always have lunch here after grocery shopping here at Hannam Korean Supermarket. It's convenient for us, food always made fresh and hot here. Owners cater mostly to older customers, working people in the areas, obvious busy moms and dads. These are typical homemade comfort food your grandma, auntie, mom would make at home for you. You will definitely love and appreciate. The food are on the neutral flavored side. So you won't feel thirsty like hell after eating here. We love their comforting service here as well. The owners are husband and wife team, hand make, cook and serve their food directly from the stoves to your table. Just like eating at home in your mom's kitchen on the floor. Korean Style!!“

“Place has lunch special everyday (weekends and holidays included) from 11:30-3pm. Plus an additional 10% for review per person during spring season. In terms of value for the food, it's good. The service was good in the morning. One of the server saw that our pork belly had too much fat and she was kind enough to remove it and offer another set. For the price and the food selection, I think this is worth it to eat if you wanna save and want decent variety. I wouldn't necessary go out of the way for it but if you're nearby, why not! Overall experience 4/5. Update: in the end, they gave complimentary ice cream lol“

“I was surprised and felt "special" that we were being served by "several" servers. Service was seamlessly quick and pleasant, and the suction vent was so quiet, I kept looking up to see it was working properly. But, it was so efficient, you don't see the smoke blinding you while grilling beef. And, they exchanged the grill pan so frequently, there is no time to worry about "carbon monoxide = cancer." Over all, I would have given 5 ?, but, the guiding employee was wearing heavy perfume, and she was passing by our table a lot, I had to cringe!!! Her perfume just ruined my perfect lunch session...“

“A new Mochinut has opened in the city of Pomona and I have to say that the donuts from here were super fresh. You can taste the softness of the mochi in these amazing donuts! It's been a while but maybe because it is new they have high standards on their freshness. Their homer which is a pink-sprinkled one was delicious and I would say get this! I believe they have and carry different flavors from time to time and I did also enjoy the churro flavor as well.“

“This is a fantastic place for Korean seafood bbq. There is another place like this in Monterey Park called Clam House and the food and style are exactly the same. But this place has so much more space and they use their AC to keep it cool for patrons. So much better here. Service is hit and miss. Sometimes it's fast but last time we came, food came out very slow. Steamed egg and cheese corn and Korean pancake sides were all delicious. Good amount of food with all the grilled seafood, noodles, and sides.“

“I used to come here all the time to get my tofu soup fix--the mushroom tofu soup, danger spice level. Their food was exceptional and my comfort food! The staff was always so warm and welcoming, which was the main reason why I always came back. Does anyone know if they have possibly relocated? I went the other day and found that they were closed and reopening as a Tofu Bean. I think this place closed down and I'm truly sad if they did! :(“

“It's located inside HMart Supermarket. If you are looking for Crispy Chicken Wings, This is the place. My favorite is their Garlic Soy flavor. They also have excellent spicy rice cake and fish cake with oden soup. Fast service and very friendly staff. Tables are available for sittings.“

“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.“
