Mindeulle Chino Hills

Didn’t expect to find such an amazing Korean restaurant right here in Chino Hills! This place just opened recently, and it has such a warm, cozy vibe—like what Koreans call a true “family restaurant.” It’s run by family members who prepare everything fresh every morning. The ingredients are clean and high-quality, so you can really eat with peace of mind. 😌 Here’s what we ordered this time: 🔸 Cheese Back Ribs Hot Pot – The stretchy cheese was irresistible! 😍 The ribs were super tender, and the rich aroma was so addictive. 🔸 Hot Stone Knife-Cut Noodles – Served piping hot! The broth was flavorful, and the noodles had that perfect chewy texture. Even the kids loved it. 🔸 Boiled Pork Slices – Nicely balanced between lean and fatty meat. Wrap it in lettuce with sauce—it’s refreshing and not greasy at all! They even had perilla leaves—though just a few, haha 😄 🔸 Fish Roe Soup – The fish roe was perfectly cooked, and the soup had a light, savory sweetness—what a pleasant surprise! 😋 Bonus: There’s a super funny and friendly waiter here who makes the dining experience even better—it’s not one of those cold, impersonal places. Chino doesn’t have that many good Korean restaurants, so this new spot is such a great find! Whether it’s the back ribs hot pot or the knife-cut noodles, everything was delicious—definitely a place to come with friends and share a few dishes!

I’m obsessed with the spicy fish roe soup at Mindeulle in Chino Hills! Only $22.99 and the portion is huge—enough for two, super fresh, and zero fishy taste. The octopus hot stone bibimbap is crazy good too, with chewy octopus and crispy rice at the bottom. Spicy braised pork rib and grilled atka mackerel are also really tasty. Plus the staff is super friendly, which makes the whole meal even better. If you love fish roe soup, you’ve gotta try this place!

This restaurant is next to Gen BBQ in Chino Hill. The dining area is clean and spacious. Food is delicious. We ordered short ribs and boiled pork belly. Both came with veggies plate, soup, and rice. Service is friendly and attentive. The banchans are great. This is the 1st time I had 🍅 as banchans, and it tastes great.

LA | Cozy Korean Comfort Food for Chilly Days 🍲 The weather’s cooling down, and all I want is something warm and comforting! This family-style Korean restaurant really hits the spot — the chicken soup is rich and soothing, and the cheesy short rib stew is also amazing 🤤 🥩 Cheese Short Rib Stew Tender beef short ribs wrapped in gooey melted cheese — pure satisfaction in every bite! Comes with rice cakes and pumpkin inside. The portion isn’t huge, perfect for 3–4 people to share 🍽️ 🍲 Rice/Bean-Based Chicken Soup The broth is incredibly flavorful — it tastes like it’s blended with rice or soy milk, super rich and aromatic. The chicken is tender and juicy — I literally finished the whole bowl 😋 🫓 Seafood Green Onion Pancake Loaded with squid and seafood pieces, crispy on the edges and full of savory aroma — so satisfying! 🦑 🐟 Pan-Fried Fish Smells amazing the moment it arrives — thin, crispy, and perfectly seared so the fish oil seeps out. The skin’s slightly charred, and it’s best enjoyed hot 🔥 Nothing beats having a bowl of hot chicken soup and a crispy pancake on a cool autumn day in LA 🫶 (Located in Chino — and just a few minutes away you can grab a cup of Chicha! 😍)

Believe me, here is the Hidden Gem for Authentic Korean in Chino! As I walked in and the restaurant staff greeted me so warmly, it felt just like being back in Korea! I had: -Steamed Pork— perfect with vey fresh lettuce wrap, rice, kimchi and a sip of soup. The taste is so amazing! -Braised black cod w/spicy sauce — That sizzling hot stone pot comes out piping hot and the portion is huge! Besides the super tender black cod, there're plenty of sides too—like radish, tofu, rice cakes, all soaked up in that delicious sauce. So flavorful! -Spicy Marinated Raw Crab — The flavor is incredible! The sauce tastes sweet and just a little bit spicy, which is perfectly balanced. Also, the shell of the crab is quite soft and thin that it’s very easy for you to bite through. Everything is made daily with fresh, clean ingredients. Family-owned, warm service, and finally… great Korean food in Chino.

We recently tried out a new hidden Korean restaurant in the East Los Angeles area, recommended by friends, and it did not disappoint! Perfect spot for small gatherings if you’re looking for authentic homestyle Korean food. ✨ What we ordered & loved: • Boiled Pork Slices (白切肉) – Absolutely the star of the night! Tender, flavorful, no gamey pork taste at all, and perfectly paired with the pickled radish strips. Everyone at our table loved it. Next time, we’ll definitely order a large portion instead of the small set. • Braised Beef Short Ribs (炖牛骨) – Melt-in-your-mouth soft, rich, and comforting. Delicious, though we all agreed the pork slices won the night. • Grilled Mackerel (烤鲭鱼) – Juicy, crispy, and full of flavor. One of the best versions I’ve had; easily a top dish here. • Ginseng Chicken Soup (参鸡汤) – Light yet flavorful, very fresh, and surprisingly good for a dish that’s usually quite simple. It impressed everyone at the table. 🍽 Service: Excellent! The staff took care of everything—cutting meat, deboning the fish, even keeping the table organized—so we could just relax and enjoy the meal. Super attentive and efficient even though the restaurant was busy. 👀 Notes: We didn’t get to try the marinated raw crab (酱蟹) this time, but it looked amazing at other tables. Definitely coming back for that. We arrived around 6 PM on a Saturday and there was already a line forming, but the wait was only about 10–15 minutes. 📖 The menu is large and varied, with lots of tempting dishes. This is hands-down one of the best new Korean spots I’ve tried recently. Highly recommend, and I’ll be back with a bigger group next time!

Just discovered this hidden gem in Chino Hills! Mindeulle serves truly authentic Korean home-style dishes. We tried the marinated crab (both soy and spicy versions) — absolutely flavorful and perfect for rice. The seafood pancake was crispy and packed with shrimp and squid. Portions are huge and ideal for sharing. The staff was warm and super helpful, making the whole experience feel like dining at home. Free parking in the building is a plus. Will definitely be back for more!

Went to Chino Hills with friends over the weekend and discovered a hidden gem of an authentic Korean restaurant. They serve the same style of beef short rib stew as Sunnongdan, various beef bone soups and tofu soups, and even the spicy braised codfish stew! All the food was really delicious! Highly recommend

Looks like the word is out on Mindeulle! We came early for dinner and were lucky to grab a table since there was a line that formed right after us! Everything was delicious. you definitely need to come with more people because it seems more family style type of eating, which is great so you can try more ---bossam tender and just had a great flavor ---yukgaejang: rich and flavorful as well ---cold noodles: forget which we ordered but I usually dont like cold noodles and enjoyed this one! Lots of banchan to try as well! Will be the go to korean spot in CH for us

What a set meal !!!! Generous Portions of tender steamed pork slices, super fresh vegetables for Ssam (Wraps), plus bean paste soup , rice and all the authentic side dishes you'd expect . and the price ? Only $29.99 ! Honestly, it feels like a steal . you'd think there might be a compromise for the price - absolutely not. Everthing was top notch . I would gradly pay $35 for the set without hesitation . Smart diners clearly know about the place - before dinner rush evern started, the restaurant was already nearly full. Excellent experience.

Your next favorite Korean comforting food spot is unlocked. Come with me! I had: 1. Military soup 2. Braised beef short rib 3. Seafood pancake

Came here on a Friday night around dinner time and it was busyyy. No digital waitlist - just pen and paper. We waited about 20-30 minutes, which wasn't bad considering how packed it was. Lots of locals and Korean families, always a good sign of authenticity. While waiting, we saw dishes coming out and noticed how generous the portions were. The menu is super robust - pretty much every Korean dish you can think of, plus a few I haven't seen offered elsewhere in Chino Hills (bossam, galbi-jjim, tofu soup, pork cutlet, braised black cod, marinated raw crab, etc.). We had a party of four and ordered family-style: braised beef short ribs, spicy marinated crab, and braised black cod. Braised Beef Short Ribs - Slightly smaller portion than I expected, but so flavorful. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the rice cakes and pumpkin were perfect compliments. Definitely would order again. Spicy Marinated Crab - Crabs were super fresh and sweet, with a marinade that wasn't overly salty or spicy. One of the better versions I've had. I wish it came with seaweed, but still a top-tier dish - I'd get this again. Braised Black Cod - My favorite of the night. Massive portion, tender fish, and a sauce that soaked beautifully into the rice cakes and radish. So comforting and flavorful. I'd come back just for this dish. Prices are on the premium side, but the quality matches. Service was friendly and attentive, though the waitlist process could be improved. Overall, this spot feels like it's here to stay. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Mindeulle is a classic Buena Park restaurant and my family was delighted to try it when it opened in Chino Hills. This spot has a lot of Korean staples and pretty expansive menu. Upon a few visits here- the standouts are the bossam (boiled pork), braised cod, and grilled mackerel- all good dishes for sharing. What's keeping it from 5 stars are the pretty average banchan and seeing messy non-bussed tables upon each visit. Things can be a bit cleaner here but otherwise the Korean food is legit, service is decent, and this spot is worth a visit if you're in Chino Hills.

Restaurants like Mindeulle are reasons you don't have to drive to K Town to enjoy delicious Korean food. The space is a bit small, but the flavors are huge. Great service, very attentive. Wide array of dishes to choose from. My current go to spot east of LA. No alcohol, but that's okay. They also have a location in Buena Park, (the K-Town of OC).

We've been to Mindeulle a few times now and we absolutely love it. Good Korean comfort food. They're located in strip lot across the street from The Shoppes at Chino Hills and next to Gen Korean BBQ. The restaurant is small, but modern and cozy. Their medley of banchan dishes are perfect appetizers and addictingly yummy, especially japchae, kimchi, spicy cucumber and cauliflower with white sauce. You can easily get filled eating them. The menu offers so many choices, including a few unique seafood items like monkfish and black cod. We are especially fond of their steamed monkfish with spicy sauce. Huge portions and can easily serve 3-4 people. We were surprised how big and meaty the fish was. The sauce is flavorful and not at all spicy. Peeled spiralize daikon radish and vegetables give the dish pasta like appearance without carbs. Highly recommend and worth $55 price tag. However, stirred fried octopus vegetable dish is just okay so it's easily skippable. Not enough octopus, I expect more for $54 dish. The two-item combo is a good deal. We got the short beef rib and seafood tofu stew combo. Beef short ribs are very well seasoned, tender and delicious. You get a good amount of meat which is nice. Galbi Jjim (braised short ribs) is fabulous and everyone's favorite. The sweet savory flavor profile is on point and perfectly cooked. The meat fall off the bone delicious too. Chive pancakes are good, but a bit on the greasy side. They give you white or purple rice with your order which is nice. The only complaint is that service can be a bit slow at times, especially when they're busy but overall, they're friendly and efficient.

This is my go to Korean spot in chino hills! We normally order the bossam, or gamjatang and galbitang. The portions were huge and everything was very flavorful but not to salty. The gamjatang has delicious and has light spice kick. Bossam was very good, and I like how was it was more lean and meaty. Overall, service was great and the food was delicious!

The Korean marinated crab and kimchi pork ribs were both delicious! The kimchi went perfectly with rice, and the crab was very fresh -- I finished three bowls of rice! The service was friendly. I'll definitely come back to try other dishes next time!

It is good to see more Korean restaurants operating in the Chino Hills area, especially one that offers bossam. It is relatively new, opening earlier this year. We ordered the bossam, and it came with a soybean paste stew. Inside was spacious and clean. The service was friendly. The food was delicious. I was not sure what to expect because I have been disappointed with Asian food outside of L.A. County and the O.C. The portions were also decent. I had a great experience here and would come back.

went there mainly for the galbi jjim - which is pricy but so worth it! everything else we had turned out very yummy also. wish they had a spicy galbi jjim option - i'll inquire about it next time when i go! the wait could get long during rush hour, get there early!

It's not bad for a neighborhood restaurant but you really don't need to rush to go there. What's interesting is that there are quite a few Korean seniors there and usually, it's a good sign for authenticity... however, I have my doubts about giving it a 4-star. The Bandhan (free side sishes) is really weak here (only 6 dishes are offered). I usually get 10-12 in the Bay Area and there are good ones. The meat combo comes with a lot of fresh veggies that you can wrap your grilled meat with which I appreciate. It also comes with a small bean paste stew soup, and a small grilled/cooked meat of your choice. What I really like is the seafood pancake. It's so crunchy which is very satisfying. The portion is big but the price is also close to$30 an order which is a bit pricey considering it's in so Cal. The service is ok and polite, but its a bit slow actually So overall, it's ok but nothing to drive home, or giving you that feeling of authenticity. Hmmmmm.....maybe it's missing the Korean mama waitresses who usually talk loud/ enthusietically.....LOL......

The food is all authentic! The Banchan is very delish! I've been here 2x but the 1st time I wasn't that impressed but today I had a change of heart. The portions were big and very flavorful. Will definitely bring the whole family. The service was great and the ambiance is very clean. No picture taken as I was excited to devour everything

This Korean restaurant Mindeulle is really good right in Chino Hills On Sunday, I came to Chino Hills with my family to look for food and visited this Korean restaurant called Mindeulle. Many people recommended it, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a few dishes randomly, and surprisingly, they were all quite good: 【Seafood Pancake】Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with plenty of seafood, not the kind that's just coated in batter. Each bite is satisfying! 【Spicy Raw Crab】The soul dish of Korean cuisine! The raw marinated crab is super flavorful, fresh, spicy, and savory, really addictive, a killer for rice 【Seafood Soup】So fresh it makes your eyebrows fall off! The taste is also great. Adding a raw egg on top makes it even more flavorful, and it's very satisfying to drink. 【Bone Soup】The meat is generously portioned, and the bone soup base is rich, giving a very nourishing feel when you drink it. ‼‼The key point is! Their portions are really generous, perfect for sharing with a group, and the cost-performance is excellent~ Suitable for bringing family for a meal! It's located across from The Shops in Chino Hills, in that plaza, ~ Sisters who love Korean food can go for it‼

Very authentic,Very sweet family owned(?) restaurant. There was a lady who came to tell us to eat the veggies like a mother would haha. Very sweet lady. The staff were great too. When we entered, the server was just about to eat, and he put his food aside to quickly greet, seat, and provide us with the menu and water. We got prime steak, which was very well seasoned and delicious. It was a combo that came with their soybean paste soup, which was also delicious. I didn't read like their kimchi, but the spinach and pickled radish was delicious!

Simply phenomenal food! Really happy such an authentic Korean restaurant opened in Chino Hills. Food is simply outstanding and super authentic. Place is cozy and packed with Korean folks so that's always a good sign. The soondubu jigae (tofu soup or tofu stew) is super tasty and comes in generous portion. If you're a crab lover then the spicy marinated crab is a must try, even if you're skeptical about eating raw crab, you wouldn't even know it's raw. The crab is so fresh and not fishy whatsoever. The spice level is just right. The banchan is fresh and light yet full of flavor. Highly recommended.

Mindeulle is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the Chino Hills area. If you go, I strongly recommend their cold noodles, bossam, and seafood pancake. They make their buckwheat noodles in house. It's really soft and chewy and perfect for a hot day. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend trying it. The waiters were also really attentive and made sure everything tasted good.

Brand New Restaurant in Town. This is their second location in Chino Hills. Original restaurant located in Buena park, well known by the local and I heard people drive distance to go there and be on a waiting list. Although, I haven't been to one in Buena Park, there were lot's of Buzzz and rumors about second new location that came in town. They were happy because they no longer need to drive distances. The restaurant did not disappoint. Services were Great. I personally loved all the dishes, although there were little differences among group of friends on their favorite dishes. Over all, they were all pleased with presentation of the side dishes on a golden medal plating with golden spoon & chopsticks, felt valued as customer. All the dishes were visually appetizing and tasted even better than expected. The portion for the value was Great too If I can 3 times within a week with different groups of people ... no need to say any further. Glad to see authentic Korean restaurant in town. Highly Recommend !!!

I love great new options in Chino Hills! Spicy raw crab is a must if you're not scared of the texture! I want to say it's the best in SoCal from it's freshness and flavor. Ooooh I still remember the taste. Imo it beats Master Ha and Crab House in ktown, but come out to IE and try it out yourself! Dumplings soup was great! And while their banchan is absolutely delicious (and a lot of great options), galbi tang is a bit more average. I'm not a fan of its slight sour taste but it won't stop me from coming back to try more! It's funny cuz the name gave me images of chandelier and stairs with ball gowns but the ambiance is closer to mom and pop Korean restaurant. Servers were attentive but they looked extremely busy and sometimes hard to flag down. Restaurant is located right next to Gen so parking could be tough on weekends. Overall great experience!

The Galbi Jjim here is lighter and more home-style compared to the usual rich versions, which I really enjoyed. It brings out the natural flavor of the beef without being too salty or greasy. The added rice cakes and pumpkin soak up the flavors perfectly -- very unique! The spicy pork is bold and flavorful, definitely on the heavier side, but super satisfying. It's great to balance with other dishes, making the meal more fun and varied. Highly recommend the Seafood Pancake! Honestly, this is the best seafood pancake I've had among all the Korean restaurants I've tried. It comes out as a big, thick piece that's cut up right at the table, packed with fresh seafood like baby octopus, squid rings, shrimp, and even topped with crispy crab stick shreds. So good! Another standout was the grilled cod -- big, tender, juicy pieces of fish, simply seasoned with just a little salt. Delicious and amazing value for the price! There were still so many dishes I wanted to try but couldn't this time, like the potato & pork bone hotpot, bossam (boiled pork with lettuce wraps), braised black cod, and marinated raw crab. They all looked fantastic, so I'll definitely be back. Side dishes and service were also great -- rare for me to enjoy every single banchan. The staff were attentive, even helping debone the fish, and they thoughtfully provided both hot tea and iced water.

This place recently opened near Dog Haus and Jersey Mikes. I tried their single person order of bossam and doenjangjjigae ($31). It came with a small bowl of rice, either white or purple rice), and 6 banchan which they change daily. They had the usual kimchi, fishcakes, seaweed salad, beansprouts, and they had two different ones like a zucchini and a celery and mushroom banchan. The portions for the banchans were good. All were well seasoned, the napa cabbage kimchi was not too fresh, still had a bit of a crunch. The bossam which is boiled pork belly, served with fresh napa cabbage, lettuce, perilla leaves, sliced garlic and jalapenos with ssamjang, salted shrimp dip, and spicy radish kimchi. The bossam was thickly cut and moist, I would wrap a perilla leaf with the bossam dipped into the salted shrimp with a slice of garlic. The doenjang jjigae had a good amount of tofu, zucchini, and onions and the soup was not too salty. After a while, a lady came and gave me a small plate of their japchae to try and it was tasty. The staff is nice and they have a good amount of seating inside.

This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Korean food in Chino Hills! I recently tried the Cold Buckwheat Noodles (#17) and the Steamed Pork with Spicy Kimchi Stew (#53, subbed from Soybean Paste Stew), and I loved everything we ordered. The pork was tender, had great flavor, and went perfectly with the dipping sauces and banchans. You can really taste the quality in these traditional dishes. I've been craving bossam (boiled pork) for a while, so I was excited for a local place to offer it on the menu! Also, you'll quickly notice it's a fan favorite here - almost every table had an order of it. The cold buckwheat noodles were also excellent and exactly what I've been looking for. They'll give you mustard and vinegar on the side so you can adjust the flavor to your liking. My only wish is that they added some meat to the noodles, but they're still fantastic as is. On top of the amazing food, the service was exceptional. Every server who helped us was kind, attentive, and helpful. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes soon! Random fact, but I also found out that "Minduelle" means dandelion in Korean.

I'm so excited to know there's a new Korean place in town and came here for dinner. I ordered the combo kalbi with soybean paste stew and veggie wrap and also seafood scallion pancake. The kalbi has very good flavor and the soybean stew is very comforting, specifically on a cold night. I love their banchan, everything is very savory and not overly salty or spicy, can't stop eating their kimchi. The seafood pancake is filled with veggie and seafood, they don't skimp on the filling and the breading is light and the whole pancake is not oily at all, definitely a winner. The service is very attentive as well. I'd go back to try their other items on the menu, definitely a go to Korean place for dinner!

This Korean auntie's homestyle restaurant is just so good! It seems like it's been open for quite a while, but how did I only just find out about it now? The moment I walked in and saw several Korean families already seated, I knew this place had to be the real deal. One bowl of dried napa cabbage short rib soup had me completely hooked. In Cantonese cuisine there's also a dried veggie soup that I really love, so I've always had a thing for dishes with dried greens. The Korean version is different, but just as delicious. It came with three big chunks of short ribs and loads of vegetables! The broth looked plain at first but was actually so flavorful with a nice kick of spice--perfect with rice. The Korean grilled short ribs with cheese were another classic. The server even helped remove the bones, then topped it with a thick layer of melted cheese. The beef was so well marinated and tasty, and the pumpkin and rice cakes inside soaked up all the essence of the sauce. My two kids were fighting over it! The seafood soft tofu stew was overflowing with ingredients. The broth was rich, fresh, and honestly blew the nearby chain tofu place out of the water. The fried cod was well-seasoned and really good with rice. On its own it can feel a bit salty, but the meat was thick and meaty. It had big bones but no small ones, so it was easy to eat. Definitely another great rice side dish. I can't believe such a gem was so close to home all along. From now on, this place is officially my go-to dining spot!

Wow! Welcome to the neighborhood Mindeulle!! I am so very glad this restaurant opened up! My visit here was just amazing! There was parking and no wait when I went. The service was very kind. Although there was a slight wait for the banchan and food, I won't knock this against them because it means your food is being made fresh! The kalguksu was flavorful and soothing, but I think I could pass on this whenever I come back. It's just very heavy and filling. It's good to order in bigger groups because it's nice to have a small bowl of. The gamjatang was tasty! I wish the bones had more meat on them, but other gamjatang places also serve similarly, so I guess maybe it's standard? I think the amount was good for three people. The braised cod was a highlight for sure! The flavors, omg, it was wonderful! I could eat that sauce with rice and be happy with just that. The cod does have lots of bones, so be careful when eating. The rice cakes were the PERFECT consistency and the right size. Everything was good, just slightly pricey. The bossam was nice! The pieces weren't too fatty. You can ask for sliced garlic on the side, I definitely did. I also love the banchan options. The kimchi was just ok, but my niece loved the japchae. Overall, I had a delicious experience and I will definitely be back!

You know a Korean restaurant is legit when every single table were full of elderly Korean people! I stopped by Mindeulle yesterday night (1/16) around 6pm for dinner. As I was still feeling under the weather, I wanted to eat some soup. The waiter provided great suggestions so I opted to get the spicy noodle soup. It was so delicious! The portion was huge and I have enough leftover to eat for tonight. It was definitely worth the price at $18.99. I saw there were comments about service but honestly I have no complaints. Our waiter was nice and another lady checked up on my table towards the end of our meal. She even packed my leftover food for me. Great experience overall. I'll be back soon!

Trust me, this place lives up to the hype both online and in real life. Hands down the best marinated crab I've had in all of LA, and shockingly, it's not in Koreatown. 【Spicy Raw Crab】 I originally wanted the soy-marinated version, but it was sold out -- so I reluctantly got the spicy one. But OMG. Never going back. The sauce is perfectly balanced -- spicy with a hint of sweetness, and super flavorful. The crab shells are thin and easy to bite through, and the portion is massive. So good I immediately ordered another to-go right after finishing. The staff even packed it in a thick insulated cooler after learning I had a 1.5-hour drive home. Now that's service. 【Abalone Porridge】 The photos say it all -- every spoonful is packed with chunks of abalone. Topped with egg yolk and sesame seeds, it's nourishing and comforting. Flavors are on the mild side, so I recommend pairing it with kimchi or that spicy crab for the perfect bite. 【Pork Bone & Potato Hot Pot】 This arrived in a huge bubbling pot loaded with tender pork bones, soft potatoes, and rich red broth. The longer it simmers, the better it gets -- ultimate rice companion. 【Boiled Pork Slices + Soybean Paste Stew + Veggie Wrap Set】 Total bossam vibes. A full slab of juicy boiled pork comes with ssamjang, fresh lettuce, perilla leaves, kimchi, and a legit doenjang jjigae. That massive plate of greens is everything -- fresh, crisp, and balances the richness so well. Wrap, dip, repeat.

This newly opened Korean restaurant is so authentic -- besides us, everyone else dining there was Korean ! That really says a lot about how legit the food is. We went just before dinner rush on the weekend, and the place was already almost full of Korean customers . Braised Short Ribs (Galbijjim) The portion is huge! The staff helps remove the bones and cuts the meat into small pieces for you. You can choose whether or not to add cheese when ordering. The ribs are coated in a rich, sweet-savory sauce -- tender with a slight chew, bursting with flavor. The sauce also soaks into the side veggies like carrot and pumpkin. I especially loved the pumpkin -- it was super flavorful! There's also some tteok (rice cakes) mixed in, which makes the dish even more satisfying. LA Galbi + Spicy Tofu Soup + Purple Rice This combo comes with a generous portion -- definitely too much for one child to finish alone! Their LA-style ribs were incredibly tender and easy to chew. The purple rice had a nice, chewy texture and paired perfectly with the beef. The spicy tofu soup was packed with seafood and other ingredients, and the broth wasn't too spicy -- totally fine for kids to enjoy!

Cozy little restaurant that was nice and clean. Food was very delicious and had a large variety (my favorite was the spicy pork). The sides were also really good. Service was very friendly and attentive as well!

First time to try the place. Theres a wait to be seated. The appetizer and sides were good; they made a mistake on our meat order and had to wait more than 30 mins to serve the right order; they forgot the stew soup for the combo (maybe another 30 mins???) and also the hot tea... Except for that food is good. PS No picture of the soup (it hasn't serve yet, lol)

Came for an early dinner on a weekday and was seated right away. The inside is clean and spacious. Service was kind and prompt. Got the galbi tang and spicy pork/veggies/soybean soup combo. The galbi tang was definitely the best (seasoned perfectly with a good amount of fall off the bone galbi). The combo meal was also decent - soybean soup was average tho. Overall, would come back when craving Korean food since there aren't many options in the area!

Food was really good. Service was great too. My SIL and I was looking for something to eat around Chino Hills area. One of my favorite places around there is Young Dong but saw this place and decided to give it a try. We ordered the lunch size bossam and beef/cabbage stew. Was good and perfect for the two of us. Will be back to try more.

As a girly that used to live in the heart of ktown, unfortunately this was super mid. We were too spoiled with kfood and honestly, all Korean spots outside of ktown can't compare! I gave it a 4 because we were seated quickly and the food arrived in a timely manner. The ban Chan was basic but one did stand out to me, the sweet marinated potatoes, yum! The pancakes were a disappointment, I'm used to real seafood and this one was heavily lacking it. As for the bossam, the pork and radish was good, and the garlic was sliced too thick.

Mindeulle is a recent addition Chino Hills. They serve delicious and authentic Korean dishes. I have been here a couple of times and although they are often busy, their food has been consistently delicious with attentive service. The dish that stands out for me is their spicy raw marinated crab. I personally think it's better than that popular restaurant in LA Koreatown. It's great to have tasty Korean food locally in Chino Hills. Their spicy raw marinated crab is seasoned very well with lots of garlic, peppers, onions and a medium amount of heat. It's also a bit sweet and even with all the seasoning, you can taste the crab. It's so good that I can easily eat the whole order by myself and not share it with others. I'll definitely be back for the crab.

My family loves coming to this new restaurant in Chino Hills. The restaurant itself is very clean and the service is great. I always forget to take pictures, but all their soups are really good and their bossam, pork belly is delicious.

Food: 4.0 Service: 4.0 Ambiance: 3.5 Price: 3.0 This place is same owner as the one in Buena Park. I've been to the one in BP many times and am glad another location opened in Chino Hills. It's a solid traditional/homemade Korean made you can get from sit down restaurant. Food: I tried several dishes and some of them are hit or miss. For example, bean-paste soup is good and not watered down, whereas some od the noodles dishes were just ok. Nothing spectacular but enough to satisfy Korean food craving. I would suggest to explore the menu and pick your favorite. Side dishes are adequate in variety and of course, those side dishes are free-refill. Service: No complaint here. They are responsive and fast, though they can be slow if there are too many customers and that's totally expect it. Ambiance: a typical traditional sit down Korean restaurant. Nothing fancy but since it's relatively new, no complaint here. Price: I dinged them here because compare to price I'm used to in Buena Park several years ago, it has gone up considerably. Perhaps, not the restaurant's fault since it's macroeconomic reason they cant control. Still, it's a bit pricey imo for traditional/homemade Korean food. Bottom line, I would definitely come back and make it my regular spot to fix my Korean food craving.

Always great to find a new Korean place. Food was great and the place is very nice inside and not like most Korean places. Thoroughly enjoyed my food! Waitress didn't understand English very well and almost let me order a dish with clams even though I told her I had a severe shellfish allergy. Only after asking five times did she say it had clams. Haha! I need to get my Korean buddy to write out down for me so I can have it in my camera roll. My wife loves her bossam

Food:5 service: 5 Ambiance: 5 My family n friends were shocked when we found out MDL was opening in our area!!! Just fantastic side dish and all the entrees are just same as before. They make everything in house. So tastes are different from others. I love their fish stews and bossam! Thank you for choosing Chino Hills for your 2nd location!!

Food was so delicious, we forgot to take a picture of the marinated crab before it was finished! First time trying this place out and it did not disappoint. Server was extremely attentive and so sweet, made sure we were ok and answered all our questions. Continued to check in on us in case we needed anything through out our meal. 10/10 would recommend!

Really happy to have a quality Korean restaurant in my hometown. Every dish we tried was delicious. Soft tofu soup / soondubu, cold spicy mixed noodles / bibim nengmyun, octopus fried rice, and a stew - all had rich flavor. Service was friendly as well. They checked on us often and made us feel very welcome. The restaurant environment was nice and cozy. I will certainly be back and wouldn't hesitate to check this spot out for tasty Korean cuisine.

Food here is always a hit so far. If you order togo just make sure to give minimum 20 minutes. Nonetheless, I haven't been disappointed with the main dishes and banchan (side dishes) so far. A solid Korean food restaurant if you want to try/crave korean food.

Good was sweet to bland Service was great with the gentlemen, questionable and a bit off putting with the women Cute restaurant with old school music vibes

Food is good. Service is good...a little stingy with their banchan refills though. Love that they make their banchans fresh daily, downside is no cucumber kimchi daily which is my favorite! Verdict on what I've tried: Steamed pork (bossam) + soybean paste soup: bossam is legit, soup was too salty Kalbi: marinade is good but tasted like it was cooked on a stove, not grilled Beef rib soup: flavorful, on the saltier side Dumpling and rice cake soup: decent Spicy braised pork ribs: good, wish it was more tender but the flavor is yummmm Seafood pancake: soggy, I would skip this one next time

The food at Mindeulle is amazing. So many different flavors and it all is tasty. But almost better than the food is the service. Bruce and all the ladies are awesome. Can't wait to come back and try something new.

Absolutely delicious! Some of the best Korean food I've had! The staff is super nice and kind. Our group loved talking to Bruce. Very cozy and nice spot.
