WOOWA

Great new Korean fusion spot. The kimchi fried rice was amazing and everything came out beautifully presented and tasty. Check this place out if you love Korean food but want a younger more modern vibe.

We ordered the recommended menus;Su je bi pasta, kimchi Jeon, and galbi. All of them were great 👍 and the chief was so nice 😊. I will revisit this place to try more menu.

I’m so glad we found this place. Food was delicious. The brisket was super tender, juicy, and came in a hot stone pot. Everything we ordered (pork belly, seafood pancake, fried rice) was a hit. Kids all loved it too which is always a plus. Will definitely be back!

Woowa Korean Restaurant with Chef June was an absolute breath of fresh air. The food was vibrant, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared—made even better knowing it was cooked by Chef June himself. The menu rotates regularly, so it may differ from any photos you see online, and honestly, that’s part of the charm. It keeps things exciting and shows real creativity in the kitchen. The rice cakes with mini sausages were straight-up addictive. The clam pasta was incredible, packed with rich garlic notes that didn’t overpower the dish. And the bulgogi beef ? Perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor—served with rice and absolutely hit the spot. The homemade ice cream tasted like banana bread pudding Just keep in mind that the menu is always evolving, but trust me, this is one of those small, local gems that’s impossible to keep to yourself. Intimate, authentic, and 100% worth the visit. Highly recommend—this place deserves the love.

In Torrance and Gardena, there are plenty of Korean restaurants trying to recreate the original, classic flavors of Korea. But it’s been surprisingly hard to find Korean fusion that truly reflects the bold, youthful trends of modern Korea. And then, Woowa arrived. Here, you’ll find the kind of trendy, up-to-date Korean fusion that looks like it belongs on Netflix or a hit Korean variety show — creative, exciting, and unapologetically current. What makes it even more special is the honesty behind the food. You can genuinely taste the experience of a seasoned chef — thoughtful, refined, and sincere in every dish. Welcome to Gardena.

I came here for the first time with family and it was a mix of SOLID authentic Korean and delicious korean fusion. It's a young cute husband and wife pair running the whole place. I especially loved the ramen cheese rissoto and the gochujjan jjiae!

Tasted as good as it looks! Def would come back! Portions are very generous, delicious food. The service is great as well, Joon was very attentive, friendly, and answered all the questions we had. Food was fast.
