Best Korean Restaurants in Riverside

Good Korean BBQ in a sleek atmosphere. Kpop way too loud and annoying, so hard to have a conversation - speakers are everywhere, so there are no quieter areas. Banchan just ok, lots of pickled radish, lack of green ie spinach banchans. No refills offered. Would have like to have the appetizers served before the bbq, because the server had to start cooking right away. But we asked to slow down service and she was understanding. Meat is good, pricing is fair for this type of establishment. Full bar would be a nice addition. Wine is limited, by bottle only, and just ok. Despite it being Christmas day, everyone was welcoming and attentive. Would recommend this place for bbq.

The quality of the meat is outstanding, but the food overall is delicious! Everything we ate was amazing. We had the wagyu set, soybean soup, dumplings, tteokboki, steak tartare, raw oysters, monkey bread, and banana sesame. Homemade kimchi!!! All delicious and the service was phenomenal. Thomas, Kellen, Eric, and Alexis were all attentive and made everything perfect. Will be back every time we visit Chicago from Ohio. Could not have been happier with the experience.

Huge fan of this place. Always recommend the bulgogi and LA Kalbi. Great spot to visit next to United Center right before a game or concert!!

Amazing good, knowledgeable waitstaff, def try the scallion pancakes, kimchi fried rice, soondubu stew, and self-grill a meat in the table inset grill (rec’d heritage pork belly)

I am excited about every aspect of our dining experience at Jeong. We were greeted by Jennifer, who is one of the owners. She was so friendly and interested in making sure we had a special dining experience. The room is beautiful and has a very warm, minimalist feel. Every course was 10 out of 10. The attention to detail was evident in each dish, which was delicious and artfully presented. All of the dishes are very unique, and there wasn't a single course that was not outstanding. All four people in our party loved the salmon tartare and the perfectly seared scallop. Yet, we raved about all of the courses. The Jeong wine pairings were excellent too. The dinnerware for each course was unique, and the wine glasses were elegant. The dining experience at Jeong is very special. I am already looking at my calendar for a time to return. It was truly exceptional.
