    Seafood Hot Stone Bibimbap- so delicious
    Laura G.

    We were greeted warmly by staff when we entered. We got to pick own table. Service was top notch. Food was flavorful, plentiful and you got to choose spice level 1-5. We chose 3 and it was perfect. I might go 4 next time. For lunch you get same portion size as dinner but at a lunch price of a few dollars less. I love everything about this restaurant. Family owned. Absolutely delicious food, great service. Restaurant is clean, light, airy with tables spaced apart. You must try it if you like Korean food.

    Galbi $30

    The decor is a bit eclectic with about 5 diff types of brick and tiles/ fake brick, painted walls throughout the restaurant. We came here fairly early on a Sunday evening and it definitely was filling up as it got closer to 5pm. I ordered the tofu soup which is good save for the 2 out of 4 dead/unopened mussels which I didn't eat for fear of food poisoning. I went with the medium which is quite spicy but tasty. It came with one shrimp as well and lots of octopus pieces. I did find it strange that the egg was already inside the stone pot and that the pot wasn't boiling/bubbling hot which is how I've always had it served back in California. Maybe they're just being cautious but the egg definitely does not cook at all while in the stew. If you don't mind runny egg it's not an issue. Our server was very friendly and softspoken. I was going to get the almond boba and asked her opinion of it and she said she didn't like it at all and recommended the strawberry or mango or honeydew boba. I'm not normally a fruit boba person but I do trust employees and seek out their recommendations so I went with the mango and asked for less sweet. All of their drinks are prepared from a powder with added sugar. It definitely had a strange aftertaste which you can get used to but it basically tastes super artificial like candy but it's definitely not authentic and at $5.99 a boba drink I'd skip it next time bc it just isn't good. The sizzling hot galbi plate ($30) was large and yummy. It came with a bowl of cold miso soup which tasted off. Like, it was served cold and straight up tasted like it had gone bad. I've had Korean cold noodle dishes and cold broth dishes before and it wasn't just fermentation like miso soup which we barely touched it after trying. The steamed dumplings were a bit bland and very overcooked and warm at best when they brought them to the table. As far as Korean beers go, they serve terra. The bottle is quite large. Banchan was okay. I liked the fish cake one best. The rice that came with our food was hot at least. The fried chicken wings are decently priced at $16.50 for a 10 piece and they are huge too. The garlic flavor is good and the chicken is juicy. It's comparable to the fried chicken from k-town market off of Duraleigh but not as good as Banchan fried chicken. We would not come back but if you go there I would recommend the sizzling type plates and the fried chicken is pretty decent.

    There's a certain quiet confidence about this place -- the kind where the food speaks louder than the ambiance or even the service. Our server was a bit reserved, but if you've spent any time seeking out real-deal Korean spots, you'll know this is often the sign you're exactly where you should be. No frills, no pandering, just focus on getting the dishes right. The interior is unpretentious but comfortable, the type of dining room where regulars probably never even glance at the menu. It immediately gave me the feeling that this isn't a place trying to impress with decor; they know the food will handle that. The banchan arrived swiftly and without ceremony -- house-made kimchi that hits all the right notes: funk, spice, and a slow-building heat that lingers just enough. The marinated fish cake was delicate and lightly savory, and the pickled daikon and carrots offered a crisp, refreshing counterpoint. The soybean sprout salad had that understated umami depth you only get when it's seasoned by someone who's been doing this a while. We followed with steamed dumplings, pleated beautifully and generously filled, their wrappers tender and just slightly toothsome. The dipping sauce brought the balance -- salty, tangy, with a touch of sweetness -- exactly where it needed to be. And then came the standout: Korean fried chicken. We split our order between spicy and soy-garlic, and I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. The soy-garlic had that glossy, addictive glaze, sweet-savory and unapologetically sticky. The spicy had a slow-building intensity with layers of flavor beneath the heat, not just a blast of chili. The crust? Ethereal crunch without a hint of oiliness, encasing chicken that was juicy and seasoned all the way through. This menu is the kind that invites return visits -- classics like hot stone bibimbap, bubbling jjigaes, grilled galbi, and stews that I fully intend to explore next time. The kind of spot you recommend to friends who appreciate the real thing -- and keep to yourself when they don't.

    34. LA Galbi / LA 갘 갈비

    We've always loved this place, but recently the portion sizes seem to have decreased quite a bit. Paying around $30 for LA galbi and receiving such a small portion was disappointing. Hoping this was just a one-off, as we've had great experiences here before.

    Tangsuyuk
    Christine W.

    The food is very authentically Korean! Went with some friends, and the service was impeccable as well. I ordered Tangsuyuk, which was very delicious. The fried portions went well with soju. The ambiance was family friendly.

    Assorted banchan
    Felice B.

    My first time at Korean Kitchen so I can't compare it to what it may have been in the past. There were 6 of us at the table so we ordered a bit heavily. The six different banchan had different flavors and textures, something that should be expected but isn't always delivered. The dishes were refilled regularly. In addition to the food in the photos we also ordered both the kimchi pancake and the seafood pancake and a brisket dish. Both pancakes were good but the kimchi pancake was a standout. The brisket was the only dish I felt to be subpar. It just wasn't much of anything at all. Everything else was rather good. I believe that we got a little bit of the "white boy" treatment even though one of our party was Asian. The spice level in a few of the dishes was turned down a few notches although they were still tasty and the server tried very hard to steer us towards fruit-flavored soju rather than the original. Even though many of the other customers were Asian the menu appears to cater to an audience not familiar with Korean food. There are a good number of more familiar Japanese dishes and there's a tendency to use loose English approximations for the names of some dishes. That can make it a little challenging to find some dishes or just try to guess to what they're referring. Oh, and the parking really stinks. Whichever developer decided that putting 4 restaurants, who will all be doing the majority of their business in the exact same timeframe, on a small lot with not nearly enough parking spots should never be allowed near a building site again. The restaurant, though? It's good and worth a repeat visit.

    Great Ambiance

    Amazing Korean Food! Family owned. We had an amazing lunch today. Weekends are for Bento Boxes I had the chicken, it comes with salad with this amazing orange dressing, rice, tempura veggies, spring rolls, miso soup, and then 5 mini plates with kimchi, and other goodies. (See photo). Hubby got beef bulgolgi Bento Box and it was the best I have EVER had, so render and flavorful. We got beef short ribs to go for dinner, hubby already pronounced them delicious. Do not sleep on this amazing restaurant! Worth every star

    Yukgaejang

    Great service and plenty of seating. Banchan and seafood pancake were a hit. Yukgaejang sadly didn't hit the spot for me. I much prefer the one at the hmart food stall. But will come back!

    Haemul Pajeon, fried rice, LA Galbi, squid dish I forgot what it's called, and we can't leave out Soondubu.

    Quick and fast service. It's pretty big inside. Food was good for local can't complain. They had beer and soju which is a plus

    Another quick review here. I stopped in for lunch at Korean Kitchen on Tuesday of last week. The place has been opened for awhile and, I can't tell you how many times I've driven by without stoping in. However, I think KK may become a semi regular lunch spot. They have daily specials here for lunch. I went with the Yaki Udon which came with a choice of three wings with different seasonings. I opted for the garlic, they were delicious! The Beef Udon was also delicious! The portion was fairly big and the vegetables and noodles were fresh and overall it was really tasty and just a slight hint of heat. And, the price was very reasonable $11.99, can of soda, tax, tip and it was around $16, which isn't bad. I'll definitely be back.

    The sides were all delicious!

    See all

Obviously, this is our first time, but what we got was amazing. We each got one of the lunch specials. She got boneless wings with the seasoned fries, and I got the wings with the radish. I got the sauce that starts with a "y", and she got half Korean BBQ and half the "Y" sauce. She enjoyed both of the sauces, but liked the BBQ one best. She also ordered one of those Korean "corn dogs" with cinnamon sugar on it, and the Kewpie mayo. I wouldn't get the pickled radish again, it's not what I've eaten elsewhere, but who cares when the wings were so awesome.........amazing........I think young people say they are fire......and they were. The fries were crispy, the wings crispy and well-sauced.......................and I cannot wait to go again. To top it off, our server, Madden, was wonderful. Not named after those guys from the band, Good Charlotte, but after John Madden!

I hate to rate this place a 1-star but the service during this visit was disappointing. Some of our friends arrived about 30 minutes before us and ordered something small while they waited. When we got there, there weren't enough seats for all of us, so we asked if we could move to a larger table. The staff told us we couldn't because our friends had already eaten, even though the rest of us were planning to order. On top of that, our water was never refilled, which reinforced the feeling of being an inconvenience rather than a guest at the restaurant. I remember the service being much warmer when I last came here about two years ago. I was excited to see the new market/shop front and updated seating, but unfortunately the service this time made the experience feel pretty unwelcoming.

The cold bibimbap was refreshing and well-balanced -- fresh veggies and a nice chilled contrast to the hot wings. It felt light but still satisfying. I am not sure if the hot bibimbap would've tasted better. I was expecting more flavor, and more side dishes, being it a Korean restaurant. Service was good.
