We love stopping by on our way home to Arizona! Today we bought 2 containers of her Daikon Radish Kimchi and 2 jars of Korean BBQ Sauce. We also tried a new snack called Turtle Chips.....these are delicious! They are a lightly flavored crispy snack and we will be buying more next time! read more

Korean BBQ and Market - Korean Near Me - Lancaster, California

This place is the Best I've tasted, their kimchi is out of this world! Authentic and so it does take a while to come out, but so worth it.

Great food! If you want authentic Korean style food! This is the best. Not only is their fresh kimchi but, different variations of it. Wonderful service and quaint environment. You can shop for cool snacks and items too! Hands down some of the best cucumber and cabbage kimchi! read more

Love this place, everything here is so good and the owner really does make sure her food comes out good! While I was dining in she would periodically come over and check how we were doing. Waiting for the food does take a while since it's just her but it's definitely worth it! read more

I've got to give another shout out to Kathy and her quaint little shop! Part casual dining eatery, part take-out food and a small area where Korean and other Asian grocery staples can be purchased. They're a little bit of Seoul in the heart of Lancaster! This isn't a fancy "Korean bbq" with the large booth seating and a grill at every table. All of her foods are prepared fresh to order by Kathy.. after she's taken your order. Bring a little patience, because this lady is a one-woman band and does it all! For takeout foods, if you're seeking a more authentic Korean flavor, let her know your tastebuds are experienced and ask her to season your dishes the way she would for herself. She's had to modify over time to suit the palates of locals who find full flavor Korean dishes to be a bit too much. The place is simple, but clean and orderly. She has a fridge with her homemade kimchi varieties for sale (so tasty!) On Saturday afternoon, a friend called me to ask where to buy natto (Japanese fermented soy beans) in the AV. I laughed and said you'd have to drive to Van Nuys or Northridge.. and then I thought about Kathy. I gave her a call and she said she actually had one small 3-pack on hand, but was planning to go shopping in Los Angeles the next day for supplies (she's closed on Sundays) and if I had a special order, run right over to the store and bring her a picture of what was wanted and she would make the buy and it could be picked up Monday when she was open again. Wow! Now that's incredible customer service that you don't always hear about these days. I couldn't be more impressed! If there's something you want and they don't have it, ask her and maybe she can get it for you if you're not in a huge rush. My respect for this smart and hard working business owner has grown! read more

Went looking for raw marinated crab and they had it! Great selection of kimchi's as well and all your needs for noodles and spices!

The food was unfortunately good. The customer service was really bad. My cousin ordered a lot of food that it went over $200. We paid and got the food and went to our car. When we got it the lady ran outside because the card and the order name were different. Lady will try to fight you. read more

Kathy's Korean barbecue is by far the best Korean food in antelope Valley. It's my favorite hole in the wall place to go to where each meal gets cooked with a lot of love and Kathy herself is a sweetheart and works very hard for that business to make sure her customers are satisfied. If you haven't tried, this is a must try and if you have tried it well then you know. Been eating here for over 25 years. read more

Looking for good kimchi come here so goood totally recommend definitely coming back for more

Small, modest, family run market and eating place. I ordered the "spicy chicken dinner plate". I was really surprised how good it was, and the portion was generous... plenty for two to share. The chicken was just the right amount of spicy, and delicious! The Korean sides were great. My only feedback would to be have a little more of them, and a little less protein. This isn't fine dining... But is good home-cooked Korean food. read more

Korean BBQ and Market - Spicy chicken dinner plate - Korean Near Me - Lancaster, California

Kathy has been knowing my family since we moved to Lancaster in 2005. She's seen my kids and my sisters kids grow up. She's a very humble and nice lady and very welcoming. Her food is delicious and I LOVE the Korean rice drink Must have this hole on the wall restaurant! Don't let the prices scare you, it's worth it. She makes everything to order. She even has a little store where you could purchase Korean foods. So cute and convenient. read more

Since we were not offered a menu, we started looking through the pics on the wall. The lady abruptly asked if we were ordering or just looking. I told her we we're trying to figure it out and she just stood by the register (behind her the dirty dishes were taller than me in the sink). We ordered the spicy ramen and bulgogi. She asked us if it was to go and I said no, we want to eat here just to be told by her that there was no dine in today. My total was 35$ for this half assed food and by the time I made it home my noodles were swollen and soggy. The service was rude and theres no way I'd pay 35$ for this mediocre food with small portions read more

Korean BBQ and Market - Spicy ramen and bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Lancaster, California

This place is hands down one of the hidden gems of the Antelope Valley. I love coming here and ordering their japchae and buying a tub of homemade kimchi. I have also tried their galbi and grilled it at home. The meat is so tender and flavorful that it's something I would get for a special occasion. The store is part restaurant part small Korean shop. Although it doesn't have a plethora of items, you can purchase staples of Korean food that you might need for certain Korean dishes. If you plan on coming here on a time crunch be sure to call ahead and order as the person who owns the shop is the only person working. She makes everything once you order so that it comes out hot and fresh. read more

Ok, so this is the only place in Lancaster that has nengmyun, or Korean cold noodles. And it has been HOT in Lancaster, and I've been up there a couple times a week for work. So I was craving nengmyun. And I'll be honest, I didn't have high expectations, but in my head I was like, "ok, it doesn't matter how bad it is, or how off the taste, I'm ok with it, because it's nengmyun". So......generally, you would get the plain noodles in broth, and then add vinegar and mustard to taste. Here, they do it for you. Which was...not so good... at least for me. I don't know how much mustard was put in, but it was more than I usually do, and I'm a wimp. And yes, I mixed it around a LOT to try and diffuse the mustard. To no avail. It stung my eyes and made my nose run. And cough. It tasted like kerosene. I finally caved and asked the owner for a bowl of plain broth, and ended up dipping my noodles in that first before transferring to my mouth. That worked a lot better. After that, the nengmyun was fine. The owner is super nice. But I'm not sure I'd go back for the nengmyun, unless I get to add the mustard myself this time. I'll probably go back to try other things though. read more

This lovely lady sells the BEST kimchi my bf and I have ever had. And this comes from someone who has tried many different ones in LA and throughout. The store is also a restaurant and sells many Korean grocery items. This place is a must and we get our kimchi here every week! read more

The food was tasty and plentiful! I had bulgogi and it was delicious. The self-serve sides were wonderful. I didn't have any ice cream but I have to plan on that next time. read more

AMAZING!!!!! Great authentic Korean Food, been going here for 8+ years, finally decided to make a quick vid, hands down the BEST KIMCHI EVER!!!!. We've had kimchi from many places, it's literally the only place we buy kimchi from...Ms. Kathy is truly a surgeon in the kitchen, always treats us like FAMILY when go and order....Japchae, Bibimpap, Fried Mandu, Galbi, and ofc KIMCHI. AGAIN BEST KOREAN FOOD IN THE AV...tell her "Michelle!" sent ya... read more

The lady has very bad customer service. she acted like she did not want to service me. I should had left than but gave her the benefit of doubt because I wanted to try the food. I ordered take out and did not realize that she had not even got my order right until I got home. Maybe if she was rude and had not had bad customer service she would've gotten my order correct. The food was horrible and I will never go there again!!! She doesn't deserve a star from me but in order to post I had to and btw the place was graded B by the health department! read more

This is my go to place for the last few years, I love this place. If you're Korean or enjoy Korean food this place is it. I buy all my Korean ingredients here. COVID-19 precautions are in place so please be aware of it. Some of us have immunodeficiency, we must take care of our fellow neighbors. Please practice great care with COVID-19, must have a mask especially if you need to order from inside. Best practice is mask up walk in, order and wait outside in your car, just to be safe for everyone. I even call Kathy (The Chef) Emonim, it's Korean for Aunty. Be smart and call ahead, if you're a regular like me. It's easy. Her food is spot on, I love very spicy food and she does it well, just ask for it. I get all my pre-made Banchan here, perfect size kimchee imo...I say this because my teen loves the kimchee here. Ok, it's a battle royal over the kimchee in my home. Life ") made you smile. :-) It's good for you. BTW; kimchee supposedly helps with COVID-19. That's a huge plus imo. Just think, she's risking her health to drive to LA for the special ingredients needed for Korean food. That's awesome in my book. I have yet to be disappointed by the food. It's all good. I'm still working thru the whole menu with the help of my family. Hubby is a huge fan of the Bi Bin Bop without the Korean ketchup (he's not into spicy pepper) but loves Wasabi, go figure. Oy Vey. If you want a real home cooked meal, this is the place for it. Everything is made fresh and to order, just like home. Peace, J read more

You simply can not get better Korean food in Lancaster. It's just not possible! The owner hand prepares every meal with ingredients procured and sold in her shop. If you want homemade Kimchi then this is the place for you! Her cucumber Kimchi is simply amazing. She is always kind and welcoming and a true blessing to the area. Her shop sells everything from imported seaweed to seafood. Hands down the best Yukgeajang in town read more

This was a delightful stop on the way back from hiking in the Eastern Sierra. I usually eat Korean food in the city I live in aways from here and it was a nice homestyle meal. The lady at the counter seemed gentle too. I got the Yuk-gea-jang or shredded beef soup ($12). The soup was delicious, light yet still full of flavor, and not too salty or spicy. I always use the spoon to scoop the broth over the rice and eat it like that. It was like a warm hug from home. I tried the bulgogi combo ($14). It was okay. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're craving it. The ban-chan side-dishes (kimchi pickled radishes, cucumbers, and cabbage) were yummy and delicate and I could have definitely eaten more! The portion sizes were nice but not overfilling - don't come if you're looking to get stuffed! It's a perfect quick lunch stop spot and the wait wasn't too long. Note: When I visited it was a hot day and there was not a lot of air-conditioning so be prepared to be warm! I didn't try it but the Nang Nyun (cold buckwheat noodle soup) or Bi-bim Nang Myun (cold noodles) would have been tasty for a hot day. read more

We'll be heading back soon for what might be the best Korean BBQ in town. But you need to be prepared in terms of expectations before you go. (Also, call before heading out because there was a sign on the door saying they were temporarily closing a little early.) What is this place? I don't know. I think it's a restaurant where some sweet little Korean lady is just cooking away in the back as if you were a guest in her home and she was busy in the kitchen, and it just happens to sell a few Korean items which account for "Market" in the name. Whatever it is, we thought the food was authentic and delicious. The place isn't pretty, it's just a bunch of utilitarian tables and chairs and menu items photographed for view and choosing on the wall. Don't expect super fast service unless it's a soup, because just as my mother would do, she's taking her time to get it right back there. We started with the Spicy noodle Ram-yon soup. Not knowing what to expect, we asked for it to not be too spicy, but I think we might have shorted ourselves on the yummy little spicy vegetable bits floating in the broth amongst the noodles, and next time I'll just order it the way it comes. This is much better than the Top Ramen soup you pick up in the supermarket :) Our tastebuds were craving Korean BBQ, so we had to order the Gal-bee (Kalbi). The photograph top-left didn't do justice to the $13.98 bento box dinner we both ordered because when it arrived at the table it was in fact loaded high with the cut up Gal-bee (Kalbi). Delicious, served with a side of rice, a small little salad we liked, and then four various sides of pickled vegetables items (cucumber, bean sprouts, a sweet one, and then a mild but flavorful kimchi). Her Kalbi is fantastic, and we were both extremely surprised by its tenderness, the lack of gristle, and little excess fat --- this told us she was buying a very good grade of beef or at least really cleaning and preparing it well from the butcher. Don't expect a fancy place, but expect a very clean spot, with a really nice person cooking your meal, very low price for the quality, and a happily delicious experience. You'll be thrilled to discover this hidden little treasure in a Lancaster strip mall with easy parking. On a side note: she sells Kalbi and some other things already marinated and ready to take home and cook yourself. Wouldn't that be a fantastic reason to pull out the BBQ or grill at home? :) Yeah !!! And for your vegetarian friends, some of the tofu dishes look really beautiful, too. We ended up here for the first time yesterday after getting no answer when calling a more well-known Korean BBQ place in town, and all I can say is that it was a lucky break for us to find this gem. read more

Food was good, customer service not so great. I tried it but I will not return. After placing my orders she paying. I had some questions about the kimchi and wanted to look at the items on the shelf that was for purchase. I was the only person in the store but she seemed rushed. I only managed to pick up two other items before looking over to see her looking irritated so I returned to the register to pay for the items to have her tell me to wait in my car......wow! The stars are only for the food. read more

The food is too expensive and the restaurant smells funny I should've taken my food to go.

Don't eat here if you have eaten proper Korean BBQ in the San Gabriel Valley or similar area. Ordered #1 Kalbi, beef short ribs. Meat was dry and evidently not properly marinated. The sauce does little to hide deplorable state of the meat prep. The salad appeared to be just chopped cabbage with thousand island. The kimchi was decent, nothing particular, but obviously from a bottle. For 19.99 + tax + tip, you can do much better than this cafeteria quality food cooked with apathy. read more

Amazing food and nice owner!!! The food was so delicious and flavorful. Plus I get my Korean fix there. Must try kimchi stew!!!

The food is outstanding, friendly service. I would highly recommend that you try this place. The price is very reasonable. My favorite is the Jap che. After reading the reviews I tried the Pickled cucumbers and let me tell you they are fantastic. Everything about this place is delicious, you should definitely try this place, I think you'll be amazed. read more

The food was good I had the glass noodles with vegetables. The service was quick. The restaurant is also a store where you can buy Asian groceries. So it's not the best looking place but the prices service and food outweigh the ambiance. read more

I've been a patron of this restaurant for 20 + years.. Kathy consistently delivers on quality food for a reasonable price. My wife has enjoyed her kimchi for over 15 years, as advertised, the best in the area. PLEASE NOTE: Because of a broken refrigerator at exactly the wrong time, inspectors gave Kathy a C rating; pay this no mind! Everything about her business is grade A! read more

Love the tofu soup and jap chae, very hard to find any better Korean food in the area. Very kind owner, and chill indoor seating.

The food was very good . I've read some of the negative reviews and I didn't experience any of that. The women who helped me was extremely nice and I got great customer service. The kimchi was absolutely amazing read more

So good! Didn't know what to expect as I parked my car. The "open" sign wasn't lit, however door was open so went in. Kinda cool, reminded me of a a store I went to before. Tables and chairs are available, menu is posted on the wall. Prices are very reasonable. Drinks are canned drinks or bottled. I came in on a weekday, the cashier was also the cook. Probably she owns the place, but, the wait was worth it. There was one family there before us so we waited a bit for our food. The bi bim bop taste sooo good and authentic. As much as I love it, apparently I've been eating it wrong. Lol. She saw how I was eating it, and said you have to mix it up together. Omg! I appreciated that a lot!!! Lol. I truly didn't know and thank goodness she told me cause I order it a lot at Korean restaurants! This restaurant is also a lil' market selling Asian/Korean items. Again, I thought prices was pretty reasonable compared to other competing stores. read more
