Welcome to Chil Po Korean Restaurant

“ A must visit to this hidden gem. My first bite took me right across the Pacific Ocean to South Korea. Don’t be fooled by the old exterior and interior of the restaurant as each dish brings you truly authentic Korean flavours. The beef bulgogi is the best I have tried. Regarding the poor customer service comments from other patrons, I can imagine this is due to the level of English that the owner and staff speaks. In fact, all I heard while dining is just Korean (including all other patrons). We managed to somehow communicate with each other but I can only imagine the language barrier is a sign of the authenticity of the dish itself. ”

“ This was the most authentic Korean restaurant I’ve ever been in in California! The staff were so lovely, so friendly and it reminded me of my grandparents They were taking care of us so well and were trying to teach us how to eat the food we ordered. They watched us enjoy the food and it was just a very heartwarming meal. This is what we ordered: ⭐Boiled pork diced, soybean paste soup and a sorted vegetables $22.99: This was all so amazing. I was craving this so badly. The pork is cooked perfectly and love all the lettuce/perrila leaves/… that it come with. I of course made my wraps with their banchans as well and oml!!! They were the most authentic banchans I’ve never had!! It tasted differently from what I was use to, it more seasoned and all tasted so fresh ⭐Spicy beef soup $19.99 : This has so much fillings, lots of vegetables and beef! My fiance loved it and it hit the spot after a night of drinking haha ”

“ From the outside, this restaurant looks old, and even inside, it feels like it could use some refurbishment. However, the food is absolutely delicious. In Korean cuisine, we use the expression "son-mat," which refers to the unique taste that comes from skill and experience. There’s a saying that the older the restaurant, the better the "son-mat." The food here is incredibly flavorful. Definitely coming back ”

“ It seems there are a lot of old korean folks hanging out and having fun in the restaurant. I guess it's a good indication of authenticity, but at the same time it was intimidating my wife. Anyway, the food and the service was amazing though. We ordered bbq chicken (the only chicken in the menu for dinner), seafood Korean pancake, and stew Pollack fish. Whatever comes in the pollack stew tasted very good (my wife said it is the fish's intestines - see picture). Definitely will go back when I'm visiting the town again. ”

“ I love this restaurant. Korean seafood special soup and after eating make it fairies recommend. Most menus I like it and best I miss sweet rice punch - free desert ”

“ Pork with kimchee was excellent. Seafood soup/casserole was so-so, nothing special, which was disappointing, cuz that was their specialty. Spicy octopus was pretty good. Potato pancake was pretty good, too. We sat in a large room in the back, so we were able to eat leisurely. Service was very good. Usual soju and beer available. ”
