I literally cannot say one negative thing about this cafe!!! First of all, the cafe itself is charming, warm, inviting, and spacious. Each table has outlets for plugging in electronics, which makes it a perfect place for studying. The service is always incredible. You can tell they truly care about their guests. Also the food quality never disappoints and it’s consistent every single time! (The ricotta jam toast is the best and they make the jams homemade)
I think this place should be more viral than it is, even though selfishly I want to gate keep it so it doesn’t get too busy . Their food is very aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are so so good. Their unsweetened espresso is never bitter, always smooth, which shows that they really care about quality. All around such a great family-owned hidden gem that I think everyone should try!

Namu Kitchen is such a gem in the West Covina area!!! The food is terrific and service is fantastic!!! The staff checked on us with attentive service that felt *just right*— not too much nor not enough. They have it down, and are sooo friendly and warm.
I highly recommend the kimchi pancake and iced hojicha latte with hojicha cloud!! I am super looking forward to coming back again soon.

First time. The slow cooked brisket was great. Great brussel sprouts. Kimchi was good. Rice was good. Pickled cucumbers were good. And my orange blood espresso with tonic water was great

Love this place! Waitress was so friendly and was the nicest ever! Thank you! The food was delicious and the drink was so good ~ the Korean Fried Chicken was on the salty side, but other than that the flavor is good. It doesn’t come with rice. We, also, got the jangjorim burrito and the rosemary cardamom iced latte. Definitely recommend this place and will be returning!

Went in at 11am, was quickly seated by the kindest lady, we sat down, was served water and got our order taken a little while after. We had questions and the server answered kindly and patiently. Not even kidding, less than 10 minutes later we got our food and coffee. We looked at the coffee bar and the young man and lady were getting things done!! Even in the fast pace environment, they were attentive and positive.

My wife and I love this place. The staff and owners are always so nice. Customer service is impeccable and their coffee and earl grey latte are cheff kiss. We also enjoy their shredded beef burrito and bulgogi sandwich. Over all a must try.

Lydia (the owner) was so sweet, gave us exceptional service. The food was SO GOOD. it really hits home with the flavors of Korea fusion with the slight twist of American style. I thought it was brilliant. Loved the fresh flowers on the table too. I really liked this place
Chicken karate so good, kimchi pancakes amazing, French toast was gorgeous. Friend got the soup and he says he loved it!
They are also dog friendly, they told us they mop everyday hence I really support and respect this place

I took my father here for lunch to celebrate his 76th birthday. Every single thing we ordered was incredible, so much so that I ordered three entrées to take home with me for meals that evening and the following day. I drove an hour to come to this place, and I’d do so again in a heartbeat. This is my new must stop brunch spot!

Ordered from here and dined in several times. This place is the SPOT. I’m a coffee junkie and Namu kitchen doesn’t disappoint with their espresso drinks. It’s spot on. Mocha has great depth with their espresso roast and and balanced well with their chocolate. Their food is fresh and the taste is on point. My favorite is their kimchi pancake. The taste is just like how my Korean grandmother used to make it. I’ve never been disappointed once with their food or coffee. Consistent every time. Their customer service is great. Sam is one of the servers that’s there the majority of the time that I’ve come in and he’s professional and detailed oriented. He always provides great service. The owners are dedicated to the quality of their business and it shows. Today I found out that they’re dog friendly!! We were able to bring our elderly dogs inside to eat and enjoy the great ambience. Highly recommend this place.
