    I had a wonderful time at Mindeulle. There's plenty of parking spots in this area and this place was filled by lunch time. I'll be honest, I was not expecting an amazing, authentic Korean restaurant here. My parents-in-law (Korean) ordered spicy soup with pollack hot pot and marinated beef (bulgogi). The soup was well seasoned with spices and the meat was well prepared. Service by the ahjummas we great.

    Boiling Pork Slices Wrap Combo

    Getting my hair done in the area and felt like Korean food. A quick look at Yelp and we found this place. Easy parking and great menu, so much to choose from. My son got the wrap combo with boiling pork slices. Lots of vegetables! Loved the banchan and they were generous with refills. Jennifer was our server and she recommended the beef short rib soup, so tender but she also cut it in bite-size slices for me. I really liked this place and will definitely be back.

    There's something incredibly satisfying about finding a solid Korean spot close to home, and Mindeulle Korean Restaurant absolutely delivered. I went with two classics I always judge a Korean kitchen by: mul naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) and the short rib combo. The naengmyeon arrived beautifully chilled, the broth icy and clean with a balanced tang and subtle heat that didn't overpower. The noodles had that perfect chewy elasticity -- exactly what you want. Refreshing, sharp, and deeply comforting all at once. The short ribs were served sizzling on a hot plate, caramelized at the edges with a savory-sweet marinade that penetrated the meat. Tender without being overly fatty, and paired perfectly with the multigrain rice. Each bite had that smoky depth you hope for in a well-executed galbi. The banchan spread was fresh and thoughtfully prepared -- bright kimchi, seasoned greens, and small sides that complemented rather than distracted. Nothing felt rushed or careless. Service was warm and efficient, and the overall experience felt polished yet comforting -- the kind of place that satisfies both cravings and standards. Safe to say I'll be back to work my way through more of the menu.

    Dumpling Soup
    Shirley W.

    We visited on a Tuesday evening and it wasn't really that busy. A few more parties coming in after 6pm! Restaurant is also very spacious. I like how the servers here are older Korean ladies, so it feels more welcoming and authentic here. We ordered Yuk Gae Jang, Dumpling Soup, and the Octopus Bibimbap around. Portion sizes are actually pretty big. The prices here are also a lot higher than many tofu houses I've seen, probably because they give a lot more for a dish? I mainly had the dumpling soup and it was pretty good! I was getting mildly sick, so this was quite soothing for throat. Dumplings were also pretty huge, and pretty good! Although, I wish it came with noodles like the Yuk Gae Jang. I did like how there were pieces of beef in mines. The octopus bibimbap was also pretty good, the octopus sizes are thick! The banchan was also pretty fresh. Overall, food and service were all pretty good. Prices are still kinda high for what it is, but pretty legit Korean food in the Chino Hills area.

    All the sides were tasty!

    Great service, plenty of parking available. The staff were very accommodating and the food was amazing! So happy to have authentic Korean food nearby. Got the chicken ginseng soup and it tastes home cooked. Definitely will be coming back. The leek pancake was so crispy and delicious and highly recommend great flavors all around. The sides were pretty tasty too and everything tasted freshly prepped and not day old. Look forward to coming back to try out their other dishes. If you're in the area, 100/10 recommend for individuals or groups as there is plenty of seating available and the restaurant and restroom are very tidy. They offer other popular Korean dishes as well such as pork belly or galbi. I saw large portions of kimchi and meat as well and I'm so happy to have some yummy Korean food in the inland empire. Conveniently located across from outdoor shoppes so you can even go for a walk or grab a coffee or tea drink across the street. We went on a weekday during opening hours for a quick lunch and the wait was not long at all. The food came out quickly and it was steaming hot and aromatic. The cashier was very friendly and welcoming and overall seem like a happy staff and that's how I can tell they are a good establishment.

    Bossam
    Mykim L.

    Happy to say Mindeulle is still one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the IE and a strong contender against many spots I've tried in OC. I've brought several friends who are avid Korean food lovers and it's a hit every time. On this visit, I finally tried their bossam and it more than satisfied my cravings. The pork was cooked perfectly, and their radish kimchi was easily one of the best I've had. We also ordered the braised black cod (one of my go-to dishes here and always a standout). Their banchan is made fresh and rotates seasonally but it's consistently impressive. You can truly taste the care in every bite. I also love that they serve purple rice. Service on this visit was spectacular they were especially generous with the sides. The ambiance is cozy, well-lit, and clean. Very authentic, very comforting.

    Chicken Ginseng Soup
    Beavis H.

    First time here and so glad we came. Service was attentive, the Korean shows and music made it feel truly authentic. Spicy pork was a 10/10 and the chicken ginseng soup was hearty and comforting. Already planning to come back for the pork belly bossam!

    Galbi and some banchan
    Elaine Y.

    Came to Mindeulle and really enjoyed the experience! It seems like they specialize in much larger portions which fits the Korean bill of social eating so come with a large party. My favorite of the night was probably the bossam. The pork was crisp but tender and I liked all the traditional fixings like steamed cabbage, sliced jalapeños, sliced garlic, and perilla leaves. Everything was fresh and paired well together. I do wish the cabbage leaves were bigger though. I did also appreciate the experience of trying the raw marinated crab. The tomalley mixed with rice, seaweed, toasted sesame, and sesame oil was...mmm, chef's kiss! The texture of the crab was also deliciously creamy with a fresh brininess but I wish they had cracked more parts of the crab to facilitate eating it. I also really enjoyed the mix of banchan - some were really unique like the clam miso marinated cucumber or the tempura eggplant. Others were just classic and delicious like the marinated bean sprouts, marinated spinach and kimchi. I would definitely welcome a return whenever I'm in Chino Hills!

    Spicy pork from combo

    Great spot for Korean food! Nengmyun was really good and they cut the noodles at your table. The broth is a more slushy/icy broth, which I enjoy more compared to ice cubes in broth. The spicy pork was great, and the combo with the nengmyun had a good portion for being in a combo. The kalguksu was good as well. The restaurant had good service, and the inside was polished and clean. Will be back!

    There's two combos plus an order of pancake
    Josalin B.

    Great hospitality, checked if we needed refills on sides. Good portion dishes: two combos and a plate of seafood pancake can feed a serving of five. Food was delicious. Although I prefer crispier pancakes, the seafood and green onion made up for it.

    Bossam
    Joy S.

    The ambiance was nice and there wasn't a wait time. We ordered the bossam on a hot day and it was suitable portions for the 3 of us. I would say it is more on the pricey end, but it definitely hits the spot on a hot day!

    Went to Mindeulle Korean Restaurant in Chino Hills last weekend and honestly, it was a pleasant surprise. The food was really good--seasoned perfectly and felt super authentic, like something you'd find in a real Korean mom-and-pop spot. We tried a few dishes, and everything had that deep, comforting flavor that makes you want to order extra rice just to soak it all up. The kimchi and side dishes were fresh too, not the lazy kind some places throw together. Portion sizes were decent but could definitely be a bit larger, especially considering the prices. It's not cheap, but you can taste that the ingredients are quality and cooked with care, so I didn't mind too much. Service was friendly, quick, and attentive without being pushy, which made the meal easy-going and relaxed. Only downside was the floor, it didn't look super clean, which kinda threw off the otherwise nice vibe. But aside from that, everything else was on point. I'd give it a solid 4 stars for great food and good service. Definitely worth coming back when I'm craving proper Korean comfort food.

    I went to this place together with my family, and loved it! They have so many incredible dishes here! I like how this place looks nice, but also service felt very Korean and familiar and friendly! Yes there are may dishes to choose from, but I come here for their braised spicy black cod. Absolutely peak. Will get it every time. Plenty of parking. Highly recommended!

    I cannot handle spicy food due to stomach condition. What are my options here for dinner?

    They does modify the spiciness unless the sauce is pre cooked. My friend was satisfied with her non spicy stew.😋

    What are the lunch specials?

    Is there any vegetarian options or anything that can be made vegetarian? I want to take my mom but she gets uncomfortable when I can't eat with her 😭

Picked up a few items to go for lunch today and I was both surprised and disappointed at how bad the food was. The sullungtang was very greasy and the color was off, a dark brown. The beef was not trimmed properly, so half was just fat. To be frank, it was disgusting. There were bits and pieces of fat floating in the soup. The donkatsu went in the trash after a few bites. It was obviously reheated. The breading was more like that of a chicken tender and not that of donkatsu. The darkness of the outer cut portions (the pork) the katsu is obvious indication of reheating rather than fresh. I don't know if there is a new cook, new owner, or worst case they are serving subpar food from previous day. Maybe one or none of the above. This is one of the few times I've thrown away the majority of the food I purchased for take out from any restaurant. My background is in f&b and hospitality management so I would not give this type of review, especially to a small business unless there was a legitimate reason. While I respect the amount of work and dedication it takes to run a restaurant, there is a responsibility to provide customers with a quality product that aligns with the menu pricing. Beyond the product, ruining someone's lunch break is a sure fire way to lose an existing customer. I will not be returning to this restaurant.
