Koreana Korean BBQ

When Friendship Meets Flavor: An Unforgettable Korean Meal in Fairfield During a visit to our longtime friends Dr. T and his wife in Fairfield, California, they took us to a small, unassuming Korean restaurant tucked away on the corner of Parker Road. It turns out our friends are regulars there, and we were warmly greeted by the owner, Mimi, a cheerful and talkative South Korean–born woman with a head of silver hair and a radiant smile. Her friendliness immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a memorable meal. We began with an impressive array of eight traditional Korean appetizer platters (banchan), which included kimchi, kongnamul (seasoned soybean sprouts), tofu strips, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and a few others—each fresh, flavorful, and distinct. Knowing my fondness for

Ordered the Samgyeopsal pork belly, and it was delicious!! The portion was sizable and it came with many banchan sides and rice. Everything was authentic and tasted amazing. Despite its humble exterior, it could go head to head with many Korean restaurants in the Bay. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

It was a cold and very rainy night when my husband and I decided to get some dinner in this place. Everything we ordered was fresh and well seasoned. The portions were fair and the meat was soft and well cooked.

My parents wanted Korean for lunch and specifically fried fish. I looked at the different Korean restaurants in Fairfield and Koreana was one that had fried fish on it. We opted for the pan fried flat fish which we really enjoyed! This is definitely more of a traditional Korean restaurant with staff and the environment. Right outside of Travis Air Force Base. If people we’re stationed in Korea, this definitely is a little piece of Korea close to being on base. It was busy for a Sunday, when we got there service was a bit slow but others got their food fast. We got the Galbi hot stone bibimbap and the seafood tofu soup. The meal was large enough for me and my parents and their Banchan was really good too! Parking is super easy and plenty in this small shopping plaza.

Update July 2022: New owners but still delicious and authentic. I definitely still recommend. One of my favorite Korean restaurants. Delicious, authentic Korean! My favorite is the spicy chicken, but I also love all the side dishes that come along with the meal. Wonderful flavors and fresh foods, I highly recommend this place if you are in the mood for Korean.
