WOOWA

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.

WOW!!! One of the best meals I've ever had!!! Saw the amazing reviews and had to stop by after working late on a Sunday. I had the Rosé pasta with meatball and it was the BEST pasta I've ever had! The sauce was incredible, pasta was cooked perfectly, and the meatball was beyond amazing (and like the size of a full hamburger!). Also had the spicy cucumber salad which was absolutely delicious and loved the sweet potato chips in it! Chef Joon is a sweetheart and gave my sister and I samples of the cream soup with prosciutto and dill oil - it was also AMAZING! We had the Chef's special for dessert - chocolate ice cream, with whipped cream, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and sliced strawberry - I was so full but I still could have eaten a pint of that because it was so good!!!!!

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!

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!

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.
