I visited the previous location in Corona two years ago and am happy to report that the food is just how I remembered! We came for weekend lunch and the service was great. They did get busy once noon hit, so plan accordingly. The food is excellent. They have some of the best banchans. The galbi could've been more tender, but that was because we were trying to clean off the bones. I also tried the kimchi pancake, which I'd recommend, as well as the spicy rice cakes (I'd skip).

Okay but why is a place literally called Korean Restaurant one of the best spots I've had in Riverside lol This place is such a hidden gem. We got the bulgogi, potstickers, and fish cake, and honestly, everything was SO good. The bulgogi came out sizzling, super flavorful, and tender. The potstickers were perfectly cooked, and the fish cake had that slightly sweet, savory flavor that just hits. What really stood out though was all the little side dishes, they just kept coming and every single one was good. You can tell they don't cut corners here. Also... the portions?? You really get a bang for your buck. We left full and happy without feeling like we overspent. If you're in Riverside and want legit, no frills Korean food that delivers, this is the spot. Don't let the simple name fool you. Will be back when I am in town again.

SoonTubu combination with Bossam was incredible. The side dishes were all amazing as well.

Had no idea such an authentic Korean spot existed in Riverside until I randomly searched Yelp while in the area, and I'm glad I did. The menu is extensive, but I went with the spicy soontubu (kimchi & beef) and bossam combo. Both were excellent. The pork belly was tender, the cabbage perfectly steamed, and everything else on the plate came together really well. You can always judge a Korean restaurant by the banchan, and this place delivered. They had over 10 side dishes, and every single one was flavorful and on point. That's when you know the main dishes will be good, and they didn't disappoint. The name being simply "Korean Restaurant" gave me a laugh, but it fits. Simple, authentic, and done right. As someone who's Korean, I can say this place is legit. Even the staff being fully Korean you know adds to that authenticity. Definitely a gem--I'll be back to try more.

Service was friendly and quick, very helpful with picking out a great meal, especially with having friends that are unfamiliar with Koran food. Food prepared fresh and very good. Ambiance of the restaurant, combined with the food prep, cutlery, and decorations, gave off a very cosy Korean atmosphere.

I thought this experience was kind of funny at first. I was craving Korean food one day, so I literally searched "korean restaurant" to see what was nearby, and that's when I found out there's actually a place in Riverside called Korean Restaurant. The name made me laugh, but it also made me curious, so my friend and I decided to check it out. I'm assuming it might be somewhat new because I hadn't noticed it before, but I'm really glad we gave it a try because the food was delicious. The ambiance feels very much like a traditional Korean restaurant. They were playing K-pop songs in the background, and they had the classic metal chopsticks and silverware that you usually see at Korean spots, which made the whole experience feel authentic and cozy. The staff were also really accommodating and sweet. At one point I mentioned that I have a peanut allergy after noticing the warning label on the menu, and they immediately made sure to check that none of the dishes we ordered contained peanuts, which I really appreciated. The prices honestly weren't bad either. The Kimchi Fried Rice was $17.99, and the Galbi was $33.99, which felt pretty reasonable for the portion and quality. The only small issue we had was with the banchan refills. We asked a few times and it was a little hard for them to come back to our table. I think it might have been because we were seated toward the back, so they probably didn't notice us as easily. Still, the food was really good, the staff were kind, and the atmosphere made it a great place to satisfy a Korean food craving.

Prob the closest thing you're going to get to really REALLY good Korean food outside of LA/OC. We went in a Sunday afternoon and waited about 10 min before being seated. The place is small and smelled delicious. The Bulgogi and Galbi were good, although my sister said the bulgogi needed sauce but I liked it just the way it was. They do give you a lot of meat. My sister ordered the wings and she liked those. She's a picky eater so that says a lot. I did have a piece and I liked it. I ordered chapjae and it was good (but reheated at home, it was not). They give you all the typical banchan. The kimchi was good, and I'm picky about that because I live next to an old Korean couple who makes it every year and gives us a huge jar of it. This place is pretty expensive, for everything we paid over $100. We did order enough for 3-4 people, so broken down its average but there was only 2 of us this day. They do have a four item to-go menu for $12 though. The water and tea are free. I would definitely come back for the food. The service was pretty good. They came and took our order right away and we didn't have to wait long to get it.

Guys, you don't know how excited I've been waiting for this restaurant to open for months now! I finally got to try this restaurant and am impressed by the decor and food quality. The service was alright, but understandable as it was an extremely busy night, even on a Wednesday. There was a 20 min wait to be seated and only about 3 servers for 20 tables. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for some authentic Korean food in the IE. Banchan was unique and had wishes there were refills.

Lylyan Y.

The restaurant is very spacious with beautiful decor. We were so excited to try it out after seeing it opened as there are so few korean restaurants in IE and it didn't disappoint. The service was alright, but it was a bit difficult to ask for more side dishes. We often had to go up to them to ask. The tofu soup was flavorful with lots of seafood mixed in. The spicy pork was tender with not too much fat. The side dishes were very standard, but we absolutely loved the marinated baby potatoes. They were super soft with a nice balance between sweet and salty. The mixed rice was absolutely delicious as well and helped make this meal stand out compared to other tofu soup places. Overall, everything was delicious and I'd definitely recommend this place. The only thing we found upsetting was the portion size for the price. It is a bit pricier than most restaurants and the portions are smaller as well.

I heard that this restaurant is run by the people who ran Jin Han in Corona, which was a really solid authentic Korean place. Based on the menu and banchan (side dishes), I think it's true! We got our usual beef tofu pot and galbi (full portions for $20 and $33, not the combo which is half the amount). The portions aren't huge but that's what the banchan are unlimited refill. Was also in the mood for some comfort food so good a Budae Jjigae (army stew) which is a spicy kimchi stew with the protein options soldiers had such as spam, salted pork belly, and sausage, along with a pack of ramen. Our was initially missing the ramen but they quickly remade it when we pointed it out. The place was full the whole time we were there for Saturday dinner but three servers were able to keep up. Our server, Jin, was super nice and attentive. The ambiance is relaxed but elegant. It's nicely decorated with subtle Korean elements. Overall very happy to have authentic Korean food in the neighborhood which is a little low on variety. Hope it can stay! Btw, I asked if they're updating the name but no plans to... at least nobody will be confused about what kind of food they're signing up for!

My daughter and I order a few items. It was our first time and saw a video on tik tok. Definitely recommend

Bety B.

this new Korean restaurant is delicious. I had the mild spice tofu soup and the beef bulgogi. The bulgogi was juicy and full of flavor. The tofu soup was delicious as well and probably could have gotten up on the spice level. The service was great and the waitress was attentive. The restaurant is spacious and seating is comfortable. The sides were probably my favorite! lol I loved the kimchi and pickled cucumbers I wanted to ask for some to go! Highly recommend checking this spot out.

Nancy C.

Recommended by our son who said we should try this place as we were visiting from out of town. They brought out a cold tea in a bottle with metal glasses. I also requested hot tea. They served barley tea which I love. After a few minutes, the assorted Banchan was brought out. We placed our order of chicken bibimbap, japchae, dol bibimbap with soup combo and beef bulgogi, all with white rice. Wait wasn't too long. Unfortunately, my chicken bibimbap order was delayed for some reason. As it turned out, my husband had that mixed with his combo. Staff apologized due to a miscommunication in the kitchen and proceeded to make my order. Didn't wait too long afterwards, but they forgot to include the fried egg. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and staff is very nice.

Michael F.

Good side dishes and attentive staff. The kimchi was lightly aged and flavorful, just the way I've liked it. Wasn't offered hot bone broth to go with the cold noodles like traditional korean restaurants, so kind of bummed. Also no fried fish as part of default side dishes :( While the flavor was good, the kalbi was slightly thicker than I liked for tenderness purposes. Beef stone pot needs the gochujang sauce, don't leave out when they bring you it! Expect $20 per menu item but you should have enough leftovers for a second (smaller) meal.

I'm a big lover for Korean food, so I'm thrilled to have come across this place. The restaurant has a relaxing atmosphere. It was fairly occupied, and we got seated right away. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us suggestions on what to order. We got the beef bulgogi, spicy pork and tofu stew. The meat was flavorful and juicy. Their side dishes (banchan) were also delicious and unlimited refills! If you enjoy Korean BBQ, but don't want to cook and enjoy a more authentic taste, I highly recommend this restaurant!!

New Korean restaurant in the IE. We came during its soft opening and they were busy; but keeping up very well! Very clean and well lit store with cute decorations. Can smell the food the moment you step in. We ordered a little bit of everything. My favorite was the kimchi pancake, so much deep flavor. Could be a little crispier, but the flavor is there. Bossam meal came with stew and was probably the most value. Super tender pork with cabbage and 2 dipping sauces. It also came with a radish kimchi that was not a part of the general sides they give everyone. Super good crunchy texture and spicy flavor. We will be coming back to try more! read more

Went to watch a movie at Galaxy and decided to check this place out. Saw that they had raw marinated crab on their menu, and my wife has been DYING to try it. The ambiance was awesome, the servers and staff were amazing! Super nice and very welcoming. They advised my wife ahead of time that the crab was raw and if it was ok to proceed and my wife was more than happy! We got the wings, the kimchi pancake, the raw marinated crab and a hot stone bibimbap with octopus. All of it was DELICIOUS! Can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely. Here is a more personal and punchy version: Tried The Korean Restaurant, and honestly, it was such a good experience. The name is super simple, but the food felt very authentic and really well done. My daughter studied in South Korea, loves Korean food, and right away said it tasted like the real thing. They even took her order in Korean, which was such a cool touch. What I also loved was how much food came with the meal. All the side dishes made it feel generous and fun, and it was definitely enough food to feed a lot. The ambiance was clean and comfortable, the service was great, and the whole place felt genuinely authentic. Really happy this place opened in town. We will definitely be back. read more

We tried a new Korean restaurant tonight and had a good overall experience. The restaurant was clean, and we were seated right away when we arrived. They served barley tea, which was a nice touch. Our server was very friendly and even let me know the tea was caffeine-free, which I appreciated since I can't have caffeine at night. They have both hot and cold tea. She brought us both to try. We ordered the short ribs and bibimbap with Tofu soup, both of which came with side dishes. The food came out hot, and the short rib barbecue was delicious and flavorful. The side dishes were pretty good. The kimchi and cucumbers were excellent. The bibimbap wasn't truly cooked in the hot stone and seemed to be placed in hot stone bowl after cooking it. Overall, I'd still recommend this place. It offers pretty good Korean food. The service was great. Five stars for service and four and 1/2 stars for bibimbap! read more

I work in the Mission Grove Plaza and Korean Restaurant is super close to me. They just newly opened. There's plenty of parking. Entrance is on the front and the back. There are tons of seating outside. They have a good amount of indoor seating plus a party room. Decor is very much Korean. There were plenty of staff but only one family on a Saturday afternoon. I was sad that I couldn't stay and dine in a my favorite part of Korean restaurants is the side dishes. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my take out bag and they had included a small tray of side dishes! I have never had take out where they include the sides. This made my day! All the side dishes were good! I got the Seafood Tofu soup which isn't on the menu but when I called the order in she asked me what kind I would like. Btw their online order is not working. The tofu soup was medium spicy. It could've had more seasoning. The tofu could've been cut up a little smaller. There was a good amount of seafood. The mixed rice with beans was different. It seems healthy enough. I really enjoyed my soup after the rainy day we had. I would definitely come back! read more

It was not too loud in there and the place was relatively empty so that was nice. Biggest disappointment was service, because our table ordered chow mein and the waiter brought us chow fun (flat noodles with gravy). When we told him that we ordered chow mein, he told us that what we ordered was chow fun, so I showed him what we ordered on the menu and he said "you wanted lo mein". While I get that, he spent a minute trying to figure out where the item was and couldn't find it. I reviewed pics on here and it seems like other people got the thick yellow noodles for chow mein. Anyway, they replaced it for us but I overheard the waiter tell his manager that we ordered chow fun by accident. The manager then told us something about "our mistake" upon paying, placing blame on us . The manager was nice about it, but we repeatedly told the waiter chow mein and he kept correcting us to chow fun. Also, there is a section of the menu labeled chow mein and a separate page labeled chow fun. I think I know what we ordered. Disappointing.

He loved the bbq chicken wings so much and has never wanted to eat chicken before this. I was extremely happy about that. I decided to bring him back 2 days later to celebrate his 3rd birthday and asked before i came if they sing happy birthday to kids and the girl at the front seemed unsure so she went to ask and came back and told us they do sing happy birthday and will give him a slice of pie i decided to stay based on that because i specifically wanted him to feel special today and take him somewhere he actually would eat the food. I did ask again when the server came to confirm and she advised us they are unable to sing happy birthday and they have never done that. My face dropped since that was the reason i came mainly. Otherwise i would have taken it to go and not drove an hour away here. To say the least he did eat the food after crying about no birthday song as a mom i am very upset about that but it is what it is. I won't celebrate anymore birthdays here. I did tell a manager about the experience who was very kind and did tell me they stopped doing that years ago so now i know. I decided the take the food to go since my son was already upset unfortunately but the manager was so sweet and said they can still sing to him but i decided to still go because i know how my son is once i already say something won't happen. I gave 2 stars due to the manager being very kind and trying to fix the situation. I will still come here to bring my son to eat since he loves their bbq chicken regardless. It doesn't take away from the fact they have really good food just a bad one time experience hopefully

I ordered spicy sukiyaki soup base, with quail eggs and brisket. Each order of soup comes with complementary rice and vegetable assortment + udon noodles. At first, I thought the amount of food you get for $30 was not a lot compared to AYCE Hot Pot options BUT realized halfway through that everything appeared deceptively small and they actually gave enough where I could not finish everything. I do think the added $4 for a scoop of gochujang-looking paste was a bit egregious to make my broth spicy though. The brisket was also on the tougher side compared to KBBQ, possibly due to thicker cuts of meat. Overall, I liked the Mokkoji experience and pricing was fairly reasonable.

I opted for sukiyaki, which was really flavorful and had that perfect balance of salty sweetness. I ordered the marinated brisket. The regular size is definitely enough, come here on an empty stomach. I split some drunken chicken wings with my table, which were the star of the show. So crispy, and the sweet marinade with the fried garlic was to die for. We drizzled the remaining marinade in the pan over our rice/meat once we were done digging into the wings. Each dish comes with ponzu sauce and sesame sauce, I love. I ended up spilling some on my light pink clothes, which I was devastated about. Definitely dress accordingly if you come here. The service was okay, they were good about clearing out our dishes once we had finished putting in our veggies/meat but the broth ran low a few times and the fire ran out for my friends' burner ovens so this had to be raised twice to the servers. Overall ambiance is a little worn down, I noted that the AC system wires were out and paint was peeling on the table. The exterior also is shuttered off, giving it a mildly unfriendly look. The price is reasonable and not too extravagant for shabu shabu, but I would definitely keep that in mind if you're someone who prefers a more elevated experience. I also noted that they'll be opening a new location in North San Jose/Milpitas soon, so I'm excited for them to continue expanding near my hometown.

Beautiful decor, upscale vibes, moody lighting, and every corner feels intentionally designed. It's definitely a place that looks like it's about to deliver an incredible dining experience. Unfortunately, the food just didn't match the atmosphere. The crab cakes were decent, about a 6/10. You get two larger cakes, but they were a little bland on their own. The jalapeño aioli carried most of the flavor, but even as someone who loves spice, it leaned overly spicy. The wedge salad was surprisingly disappointing. The lettuce wasn't very crisp, and they added ham on top of the bacon, which felt unnecessary and honestly gave the dish a cheaper feel. We ended up removing the ham altogether. The fish tacos had nicely cooked fish, but again, lacked seasoning. They also came with more jalapeño aioli, and the portions felt awkward. The fish pieces were huge compared to the tiny tortillas, so eating them turned into a full taco explosion situation. The biggest letdown was the chimichurri sea bass. For a $52 entrée, we expected much better. The fish came out completely overcooked and dense like a brick, which was extra disappointing because the chimichurri sauce and mashed potatoes were actually delicious. On the bright side, the drinks were fantastic. Refreshing, flavorful, and probably the highlight of the meal. Service at the bar was also great across the board. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout the night. This place truly has so much potential because the ambiance and service are already there. We really wanted to love the food as much as we loved the vibe, but unfortunately it just didn't wow us this time around.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

I found out about it through my cousin, who's a UCR alum, and I'm really glad I finally got to try it. The staff were super nice and attentive, constantly coming by our table to check if we needed more water, tortillas, or anything else we might want. Even with how busy it was, they still made sure everyone was taken care of, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was packed, and it actually surprised me because I don't usually see that many people at restaurants in Riverside. The energy inside felt lively but still comfortable. One of my favorite parts was the fresh tortillas. They come out hot and fresh from the oven, and you can literally watch them being made right in front of you, which made it even better. And the best part is they're free. We ordered the carne fajitas and chile relleno. The fajitas were incredible, the meat was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, with that perfect smoky sear that comes from being cooked fresh on a hot skillet. Everything came out sizzling and stayed flavorful with every bite. The chile relleno was also really good, with a nice balance of savory and slightly creamy filling that paired well with the sauce. It was actually my first time trying fajitas, and I can confidently say I'll be ordering them again the next time I come back.

We ordered the Mesquite chicken and steak fajitas which were less than average. Not sure if it was just a bad day, but the taste of the protein did not match up to the wonderful smell of BBQ outside the restaurant. The tortillas were just ok, first batch was not even warm. My Michelada was good though. Bummer visit after being away for so long. Looks like the interior could stand a makeover.

I've been here before and genuinely loved it, which is why my sister and I chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday with a Saturday lunch. The place was packed, and it's great to see the business doing well. Unfortunately, this visit didn't quite live up to the expectations set by my first experience. We ordered the braised beef short ribs, seafood pancake, Budae Jjigae (army stew), hot stone bibimbap, and deep-fried pork cutlet. We also wanted the slow-cooked pork belly, but they were out, which was disappointing. The army stew, and hot stone bibimbap were delicious and ended up being the highlights of the meal. However, the braised beef short ribs were underwhelming. The broth lacked depth and richness, the meat wasn't as tender as expected, and overall, the flavors felt a bit bland. The seafood pancake also missed the mark. It lacked that overall crispy, golden-brown texture and was only crispy around the edges. The center felt undercooked, and without that structure, the pancake fell apart easily and became messy to eat, which really took away from the experience. Overall, we still enjoyed the time and the company, but the food itself was a bit hit-or-miss this visit. I'm not sure if the kitchen was understaffed or working with new staff that day, but the experience definitely didn't live up to how great my first visit was. I hope this was just an off day, because I know this place can do better, but for this visit, it didn't exceed expectations. read more

I went recently and was totally blown away. Like, I'm still thinking about it! The Bulgogi was mind blowingly good and super tender, savory, sweet, and tasted totally fresh. It was seriously the highlight of the meal 10/10 must order! And their Tofu Soup (Soon Tofu) was also amazing! Perfect amount of spice, the broth was so rich, and the tofu was like silk. It's the ultimate comfort food when you need it. Even the traditional Barley Water was great, refreshing and nutty, which was a perfect palate cleanser. If you're craving legit, delicious Korean food, you absolutely have to check this spot out. You won't regret it! read more
