Top Korean Restaurant in Chula Vista
Korean Kitchen Tofu & Galbi
509 Telegraph Canyon Rd, Chula Vista, CA 91910, United States
I’ve been to a handful of Korean restaurants on Convoy and none have really satisfied my deep craving for delicious, nostalgic, and authentic 한식 (Hanshik — Korean food). Can’t believe this random restaurant in Chula Vista finally satisfied this craving! The galbi, tofu soup, kimchi pajun (pancake) were to-die-for. Even my Jewish boyfriend who only really started eating Korean food since he met me was melting over the food at Korean Kitchen.Ignore the reviews that complain about bad service. Tbh, growing up going to the most authentic and scrumptious Korean restaurants in Koreatown in LA, we always got terrible service. Maybe it’s just the hallmark and indicator of excellent Korean food ?. Highly recommend this restaurant!
Spoon House Korean Cuisine and Cocktails
305 Third Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91910, United States
Wow. Never would have I thought I’d find great Korean food in Chula Vista.We were warmly greeted and welcomed by Nick, who was so friendly. He told us we could sit wherever we wanted.The inside of the restaurant is spacious and clean. There’s a pool table and tv playing music. My dad would’ve appreciated the 80’s hits being played. There’s also a full bar.We ordered our food through a QR code. Our selections were; bulgogi fries (my favorite), Ramen with bulgogi and an egg, and chicken bibimbap bowl for my husband.The bulgogi on the French fries were marinated soooo good. I loved the flavor. The sauce topped on it was fire too. The fries were cooked to crisp perfection.At first, I thought the ramen was ok. It came out piping how and was steaming until the end of our dinner.But I took it home for leftovers and it was a great decision. The bulgogi was tender and the flavors aren’t too salty.The bibimbap bowl was a great choice for my husband. He cleaned that bowl up.Whenever we’re craving Korean food again, we’ll come to Spoon House :)

Hanu Korean Bbq
970 Eastlake Pkwy #108, Chula Vista, CA 91914, United States
The service and the side dishes are better than the competing Korean restaurants in the area.However, Im more of a meat guy and I find the meat not as flavorful as other restaurants.
Flame Broiler
2260 Otay Lakes Rd # 108, Chula Vista, CA 91915, United States
This was a very pleasant experience, someone recommended me this place last week and I wanted to take the time to go check it our.I was very happy and surprised that the customer service was awesome, the the food was incredibly tasty and the time I had to wait wasnt a lot.They dont serve alcohol at all. They have a very basic menu,Beef, Chicken or Tofu (extra firm). With the Chicken they offer brown meat or white meat (they do charge a little bit more for the white meat), Then you can choose from: Small Bowl, Medium Bowl or large bowl. The best deal is on the medium size and the price for me was ok. They offer White or Brown rice, veggies and /or Salad -You can choose to have all rice or half and half. Also on your meat you can choose half and half meat /tofu or chicken.They have HOT, hot and their secret sauce (recommend that one) Their chicken has such a good flame grilled taste that just to think about it my mouth is watering. They sell you Soda and ice tea (raspberry and peach)Also the regular sodas. This was a great experience, the place was really clean, again the service was fast and they are so nice. For a fast bite with your family or if you are in the run the you should be good.I will be coming back again.
Manna BBQ

Food: Manna BBQ has really nice Korean food really yummy and also fun to cook. Some foods there I dont like but dont hate I mean I think everyone has that feeling but other than that food is really good. The sides on the table when you first enter are also really really good!Service: Service here is absolutely amazing theyre really nice, funny, and really helping to customers. The staff is what I like most about this restaurant everything about it is really sweet!Atmosphere: When you first enter Manna BBQ the floors are really slippery which also means they have been cleaned really well and properly! The atmosphere is cleaner than some other restaurant atmospheres.

Pho Viet Noodle
864 3rd Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91911, United States
If your here for take out, dont do it. I am a pho fanatic, I used to live in an area with a lot of great pho places so maybe Im spoiled. When we came in the staff was confused, not helpful, and they only accepted cash. Not to mention that we requested extra limes and they gave us one single lime. It felt lacking in flavor, perhaps because there was no lime lol. I was craving pho for the longest time and they did not hit the spot. Gotta say, pho ca dao beat my expectations after that mishap. Perhaps pho nhu is better dining in, or other items, or even if they just had a bad day - but they didnt leave the greatest impression on us and I try not to leave bad reviews but wanted to save you on the pain. If its close by and you dont want to drive, why not. Otherwise I recommend else where to crave that pho itch you have.
Teriyaki Grill
380 3rd Ave B, Chula Vista, CA 91910, United States
Been here once before years ago but that mustve been under different management or employees. It was cool the 1st time. I went the other day, ordered and waited for over 30 mins for my food. The employees spent more time chatting & having fun than actually waiting on customers. When the food came out, it was as cold as ice but when asked, the waiter said the sauce made the meat cold but Im pretty sure it was the 30 min wait- this is my first time ever being served a cold taco and it was pretty gross- I wanted to walk tf out... but stayed and gave them another chance. The crabcakes were pretty soft & mushy, unlike the crispy description. And the gyoza was covered in this nasty, yellow, mustardy sauce- Im sure it wouldve been good if they put the sauce on the side. I definitely wont be back again. Also, the pictures of sushi are of a different restaurant. This Japanese joint has NO sushi but they have Korean beef...so expect korean food from this Japanese place
Paris Baguette
2020 Birch Rd St 102, Chula Vista, CA 91915, United States
Paris Baguette, its a Brand New concept that came to Eastlake area just in the past couple weeks, my wife and I decided to go to be able to see what they have and enjoy a little bit of what they offer. First and foremost the service was excellent, it was all covid compliant and people will waiting line to be able to get in and once you got your turn you were able to walk through the store grab a bag or a box and start picking up the goodie you wanted to get. Everything is pretty much packed individually and it looks delicious. They have a showcase where all the man cakes are and you can either get them by a slice or actually get the full cake. You could also order them online and be able to pick him up later. they have also wonderful drinks that if you want to pair with your goodie then youll be able to take from them. Theres plenty of parking, they have handicap entrances as well as the opportunity to take your time take as much as you want and they will count it at the end and charge you for it. Again the service was amazing the flavor of the food was good my wife and I bought some goodies for our boys which they really enjoy and we took a couple of the fruit filled pastry for my in-laws. All in all the experience was great the price was good and the experiences of a new place is always fantastic. One thing is if youre looking for a Baguette you have to get there early because they do run out of them very fast in the morning and you may not have a chance to get something all the way till the evening. We will go back again and I will be looking forward to taste their baguettes.
