Still one of the best Asian restaurants in Monterey when you are craving for Asian food. Back to family runned new Korean restaurant after 9 years since we left Monterey in 2013 and the food still taste great, including the army stew and the bulgogi. Price is also very value for money at $98 for four pax. Even though we arrived pretty late close to closing time as we drive up to Laguna beach near San Diego, the owner didn’t rush us at all throughout the dinner. We appreciated that.

After my third time eating here I can honestly say, this is one of the best places in Monterey County!

Authentic Korean restaurant tucked away off the main road in Marina. It has the standard fare, we chose the seafood pancake and beef bulgogi and not disappointed. Banchan was somewhat limited, maybe six dishes. Food came quickly but service was a tad slow. Overall, a very nice find in the small town of Marina. On par with Ktown or other Bay Area places.

This is me and my beautiful wife’s favorite local authentic Korean food restaurant in all of Monterey County. Truly family owned and operated. We always recommend it to new friends and family members.

The New Korea Restaurant is located in a residential neighbourhood in the city of Marina. The restaurant has a small parking lot and the restaurant itself is pretty small. The customer service is friendly but waiting for the food to arrive is somewhat slow. The food is decent but the portions are not generous for the hefty prices being charged. Another thing that is not cool is that they automatically charge for gratuity. I didn’t notice that until I saw it on my credit card statement. The waitress added a fairly large tip for herself that was more than 20% . She added nearly 30% in gratuity for herself. As for returning here again that is highly unlikely. The prices just don’t justify the subpar quality of the food and lacklustre customer experience.

The place is kinda remote and off the street, there is parking inside when you enter a short driveway.

Very good traditional Korean food! The atmosphere and staff provide a friendly and welcoming environment for customers to enjoy their meal. Some of the food selections are a bit pricey, but it’s worth it

This place serves authentic Korean food – I am originally from Korea. Not salty and not greasy at all. I recommend pork feet – they serve such a huge portion and it tastes great!

This place is so good it’s ridiculous. I got the jaepche and bulgogi and bip bim bap and they couldn’t have tasted better and more authentic. The prices are high. It’s almost $100 for those three dishes and that’s for take out. It’s a rare splurge but so very good. The service is wonderful and I can’t wait to try more dishes off the menu.
