Best korean meat and meal ever!! Get the cold dongchimi noodle!!! By far the best noodles i had! And i'm from korea!! read more

Not the biggest restaurant and they got busy very fast. So definitely make a reservation beforehand if you can! Overall, a very solid meal and experience. We ended up ordering one of their beef combos. They advertise a medium being good for 3-4 people. Definitely 4 people. It's a lot of food, including brisket cooked with veggies and mushrooms (which was a nice surprise), rib eye steak, ggotsal, and kalbi. It also comes with your choice of 3 sides, either soup, egg souffle, or corn cheese. Meat was quality, great flavors, they even change out the grill and cook with charred wood for the rib eye to give it that extra smokey flavor. We also got their salted pork ribs, which is supposed to be their signature dish. Comes with 8 ribs. It was OK. I thought the beef was better? And if you're a rice paper addict, unfortunately, none here :( Service was very attentive, they handled all the cooking and portioning. read more

Went here after reading the reviews. I went on a weeknight for a party of 11. No wait to sit. Then we ordered two orders of pork ribs. One spicy and one soy flavor. It's cooked in kitchen. Then we ordered the seafood stew and min of 2 orders needed to be ordered to cook at table. We also got steamed egg and cheese corn. Let's talk about the food. The banchan came out and we started to eat them....they were on sweet side. Can't complain about them. The ribs, we compare them to Ham Ji Park in LA. The ribs barely had meat on them. It also was not like fall off the bone kind of rib and the kicker ....it wasn't cooked all the way. Still red when you took a bite. We asked to cook them more and even when it came back it was still under cooked. Not worth the $80+ I paid. The seafood casserole for two orders. There was not enough seafood for two orders. One piece of squid, 2 shrimp, 2 crab and the stew was fishy. Definitely not worth the $80+! Then the service....we asked for things and it never came and we asked for the menu to order some other stuff but waiter never came by. We decided to check out and leave to eat somewhere else as it would have been faster than waiting for any additional service. My family said don't leave tips - pretty big deal when they have worked in the service industry. The food was not worth what we paid for dinner here. My next meal was 4 dishes that fed 9 ppl and it was $90 and service was so much better. Check out Yoo's Place a block away for better service and home cook Korean food. One lady working and she was a lot faster helping all the ppl vs this restaurant. Find a better Korean restaurant and run far from here. So much choices to try other places in Buena Park. read more

I've been here many times, so I'm writing this honestly as a regular customer. We ordered the meat combo this time, but the quality was really disappointing. In this area, there are so many good Korean BBQ places that good meat quality should honestly be the minimum standard. The meat had almost no real beef flavor, and the condition of the meat didn't look very fresh either. Even the side dishes felt incomplete, like they were prepared halfway and just put out quickly. I usually enjoy coming here, but today's experience was honestly one of the worst visits I've had. I'm only giving this rating because the staff was still friendly. I think the sauces really need some improvement... the food would be much better with better-made sauces. read more

Came here for dinner on a weekday and ordered regular dishes outside of KBBQ. Upon arrival was greeting by Korean aunties and seated immediately. Menu was in English/Korean so ordering wasn't a problem. Majority of the tables had KBBQ grilling and I wasn't feeling that so ordered the pancake, cold noodle dinner combo (cold noodle + LA Galbi) Food Every dish was prepped very well starting from the banchan. There was I believe an eggplant banchan that I really enjoyed. The fruit and potato salad was very refreshing and delicious. Everything else was pretty good but those two definitely stood out. Seafood pancake came out next, and it was delicious. Crispy outside skin, soft fluffy batter inside with plenty of seafood and green onions. Cold needles and Galbi came next and it was the perfect combo. Added in some hot mustard and a little vinegar and the flavor was perfect. I had dental work done recently so my tooth were sensitive after the ice cold noodles, but I couldn't stop eating! Service was extremely friendly, aunties refilled water and banchan without having to ask. Constantly checked up on me to ensure I was enjoying my meal. I couldn't finish all the food so they even packed it up for me. Overall an amazing experience! read more

Hands down, one of the best Korean restaurants in SoCal. I always order the same things: Salted pork ribs, Dongchimi noodles, and Beef intestine casserole. If you've never been here before and have 3,4 people to eat with you, just copy this exact order and thank me later. This place is no frills and serves authentic Korean food with authentic Korean service and vibes. read more

Kote Dae Ji Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - La Mirada, California

Ive been doing it wrong. even the typical korean bbq combo at this joint is okay but skip it.. order number 45 which is a pork rib on the grill.. (your welcome) friendly staff that are very helpful and attentive and grills the entire meat for you on direct flame as it is very easy to burn. it is cozy inside as this place is a older joint but the food hits hard. all the cold noodle dishes are exceptional as well! read more

I've been to Kote Dae Ji for BBQ before, and recently discovered their weekday lunch special--what a great find! Perfect for anyone working nearby. Lunch Special only $19.99 Monday to Friday, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM 1 Choose one meat + 2 Choose one cold noodle The value here is incredible--both your stomach and wallet will thank you! The lunch portion is slightly smaller than the regular order, but it's still plenty filling, especially since the side dishes are refillable! Must-try: their signature Pork Ribs! So tender and flavorful, the meat falls right off the bone. Highly recommended for a tasty, satisfying, and affordable lunch break. Will definitely be back! read more

The food here is awesome. What stands out most is there salt, pork ribs but everything is delicious.. The service is friendly and fast and if you're getting Korean barbecue at the table, they help cook it for you. Nice open restaurant in plenty of room for small or large group groups. read more

The smell of smoky, juicy meat and toasted sesame seasoning fills the air. It's busy in there for a good reason. It's great food. It's attentive service. It's really a nice time out... even if you don't have a bit of a situation like me- my wife dropped one of her rings while dining here. All of the servers helped to try and look for it. It had rolled away too far to find, so we left them my phone number in case it turned up. It did the next day and I picked it up- they'd even bothered to tape it to a piece of notepad paper to make sure they wouldn't lose it. We took home smoky pork ribs, my wife's ring, and a great story about excellent service. Go there for really tasty banchan, quality meat, and a staff that tries to take care of you. read more

I had my doubts about this place because of the reviews, but I forgot all about them while eating the food. It spoke for itself. We ordered the medium premium meat combo A, which was meant for 3 people and it was pretty accurate in terms of portion. It came with brisket; prime ribeye, prime boneless short rib, and marinated bone-in short rib. For our sides, we chose the kimchi stew, steamed egg, and corn cheese. The waitress cooked everything for us, and perfectly might I add, where the meat had some char without being overcooked. I was surprised by how tender and good quality the meat was. The kimchi stew wasn't our favorite but the steamed egg and corn cheese were gone quickly. This restaurant is definitely popular among the locals and I could see why. The service was also great and they came by quickly to assist us. read more

Perfect comfort food in town. One of the longest standing Korean restaurant in Fullerton. The best in town white noodle in cold broth called DongChiMe best is OC and LA. All other food like the Korean BBQ is great also. A must try if you are in town. Been coming here for over 20 years since they opened. The salted pork is one of personal favorites here. read more

Saw this restaurant from a TikToker giving rave reviews, so my wife and I decided to check it out today. We ordered the small pork combo, which came with beef brisket, pork belly, and marinated boneless beef short ribs. I also got the spicy cold noodles on the side. The brisket and pork belly were decent -- medium quality but nothing to rave about. The marinated beef short ribs, however, were disappointing. They had no flavor and were very bland. The cold noodles were also flavorless; I had to ask for extra sauce just to get some taste. Service was okay at best. They started off by cooking the meat for us, but then forgot about us completely, letting the grill pan burn. I ended up cooking the rest of the meat myself. Throughout the meal, we had to keep asking for refills on water and side dishes because no one checked in on us. After eating here, I now understand why the Yelp rating is only around three stars. I honestly don't get why that TikToker gave such rave reviews. Definitely not planning to come back. read more

To start off, the waitress serving us was so kind, funny and welcoming. We came here after seeing a bunch of videos on the place and were so glad we did.

Kote Dae Ji Korean BBQ - Best Dongchimi Noodles. - Korean Near Me - La Mirada, California

I've been a regular at this restaurant for over ten years. I can't visit often because it's quite far, but I often find myself craving their dongchimi cold noodles and charcoal-grilled pork with salt. These are, in my opinion, the signature dishes here, so you should definitely give them a try. The charcoal-grilled pork (salted) comes as a two-person portion per order. The dongchimi noodles are on the larger side, but the shaved-ice broth is so refreshing and delicious that I always end up finishing the whole bowl. I truly hope this restaurant stays around for a long, long time. read more

We stopped by Kote Dae Ji while in OC, probably the first time in 5-6 years. We forgot how good it was. Everything was as solid as I remember. We went with the favorites: Baby Back Ribs, Pork Jowl KBBQ, Cold Dongchimi Noodle, Beef Intestine Casserole. The baby back ribs were the highlight for me, just was amazing as I remember with the perfect char and smoky flavor. Of course, the cold dongchimi noodles another standout, just a classic. We love finishing with the beef intestine casserole. Just the heartiest stew with a good amount of kick. We got reminder why this use to be our go-to Korean spot in OC. We'll try to stop by again when in the area. read more

This place has been our go-to spot for as long as we moved to the area over 10 years ago -- and for good reason. The food here is always consistently delicious, no matter what we order. The salt pork ribs are our absolute favorite -- tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned every single time. The dongchimi noodles are another standout dish, refreshing and balanced with just the right amount of tang. And of course, the KBBQ never disappoints -- great quality meats and all the classic sides done right. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, and they always remember us when we come in. It feels like being greeted by family every time we walk through the door. They recently redid the interior, and the new booths look great! No matter how many new restaurants pop up, this one will always be our first choice. Consistent, delicious, and heartwarming in every way -- exactly what you want in a neighborhood favorite read more

Recently ended up coming here THREE times! First time was a casual invite. Unplanned. The meat quality was so good! We ordered the beef combo. Their brisket with mixed veggies was so good. They have a full spread of banchan. Their combo (large) comes with soup and egg that can't be missed in KBBQ. So I came back for lunch second time. They gave us "jeon" as service! Lunch was good and easy. So I made plans to come back for dinner with a group of friends a third time. Friends had the pork ribs and loved it. All 3 times their service was on point. Restaurant is clean. Food is good. Everyone was friendly. They come and cook the meat for you and are attentive. So no trouble flagging down someone if you need anything. Even the bathrooms were clean. read more

This place is truly special. The women who work here are some of the hardest-working and kindest people I've ever met in a restaurant. They make you feel welcomed the moment you walk in! The food is absolutely delicious! But the real standout for me is the dongchimi guksu. I've tried it at other places, but nothing comes close to the way they make it here. It's hands down the best -- so refreshing, perfectly balanced, and comforting all at once. If you're looking for amazing food served by genuinely kind people, this is the spot. I'll definitely be coming back again and again! read more

Every time we come here, the staff are incredibly friendly -- it honestly makes my day. Going out to eat with a kid isn't always easy, but they always go out of their way to make it comfortable for families. They even bring soup and rice just for the kids, which my child loves -- he cleans the bowl every single time! Special shout-out to Hyang and Maria -- they're always so kind and make the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. We had the gopchang jeongol (beef intestine hot pot) and the pork galbi, and both were amazing. Highly, highly recommend this place if you want delicious Korean BBQ with great service and family-friendly vibes. read more

Cote Dai Ji The quality of the meat here is excellent -- tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled over charcoal, which adds a rich smoky aroma. The service was top-notch, attentive and professional. This place has long been famous for its salted pork ribs, and after coming back after quite some time, I'm happy to say that the taste and quality are still outstanding. It's great to see that Cote Dai Ji continues to maintain such a high standard over the years. If I could make one small suggestion, it would be to improve the ventilation a bit -- the smoke could be better drawn out. read more

This place is absolutely amazing!!!! I always used to get the beef combo, but this time I tried the charcoal-grilled pork ribs!!!! Oh my gosh, it's insane so, so good!!! I can't believe I just discovered something this delicious so sad it took me this long! It's not too salty, perfectly seasoned, and even the kids loved it, so today's dinner out was a total success!!! You've got to try it! You won't regret it! Here's a little tip the flavor can depend on who grills the meat, so make sure to find someone who's good at grilling when you order! read more
