    Chimek, google it. Let's CHIMEK TONIGHT at Chicken Day LA. Chicken Day LA helps me get into the groove of chimek Now you know it's a vibe and weekly need that must be met with your friends or just with a buddy. The satisfaction of crispy Korean chicken with an iced cold beer, ahhhh! Who discovered this cultural vibe? KOREANS. If ya into K-pop k-dramas, ya know what I am talking about. Who engages in CHIMEK? Everyone as long who can start enjoying an iced cold beverage and some yummy Korean fried chicken. CHIMEK LESSON: KFC = Korean Fried Chicken

    Korean Pepper Sauce Chicken Wings
    Dom M.

    Chicken had great texture and flavor. Wings were a little small and pricey compared to some other korean fried chicken places we have been to. Here we paid $20 for 10 wings (it came with a small side of coleslaw and a small side of radish). The lady who rang up our order was super nice and the chicken was made pretty quickly, and fresh! We took it to go. We ordered Korean spicy chicken for the flavor, but it tasted more like sweet and spicy. The atmosphere was cute, clean, and simple with some good Kpop music videos playing on the tv. Overall we really enjoyed the flavor of the wings.

    This is the sampler: original, sweet & spicy, Korean pepper, honey lemon with small fries.

    First time here, came with my sister and let me tell you, it was gooooood! A lot of food for both of us, friendly service, fast and pretty cool place with indoor and outdoor dining.

    Came across this place and there was free parking and great Korean food. Service was fast and food came out steaming hot. The soju highballs were such a steal and my favorite was the lychee flavor! *chicken sampler 5/5 :very tender, juicy, and crispy, i loved all the flavors *tteokbokki 4.5/5: soft and chewy and was on the spicier side *kimchi fried rice with cheese 5/5: great portion size and paired well with cheese *marinara pasta 4/5: had large pieces of shrimp and a yummy sauce *soju highball 5/5: soo good and sweet and i got the strawberry and lychee flavors.

    Tucked in a little mall. Found it by accident on the way to a show at the Wiltern. The service was friendly and informative. She took time to answer all our questions and offered suggestions. The food was delicious. I got chicken and it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Sofa king good. Lots of room inside and the tables were clean and inviting.

    Korean pepper + garlic wings

    I liked it. Had a craving for some KFC (Korean fried chicken) and met up with a friend here. Inside is simple. They have a few tables and there's another small patio area with a few tables. We got the Korean pepper and garlic wings. I liked em. The Korean pepper had a nice spice that doesn't hit until after. The garlic was good too, lighter on sauce. We also got the kimchi fried rice and some fries. The kimchi fried rice was good, had a slight spice to it. Fries were standard. We also got some beer and soju. Service was ok. There was easy underground parking beneath the shopping center. If you got a KFC craving, definitely check them out.

    When going into a Korean fried chicken joint, you have to expect to pay a premium for the chicken. Chicken Day is tucked into a small strip mall off of Western. Luckily we went on a slower Sunday night so there was parking on the upper lot. The menu is surprisingly simple and has many offerings. We opted to get the sweet and spicy wings, cabbage salad and the chicken soup. The wing sizes were really huge which justifies the price for the 10 piece. Can't really mess up a cabbage salad and they gave you a lot, but for the price, it seemed excessive. The coup de gras was the chicken soup. A whole chicken, just about the size of a Cornish Game Hen in a mild broth. But the surprising part was the way the chicken was cooked. They stuff the cavity with tons of garlic, what looked to be a chestnut...in the broth itself was a ton of green onions and what looked like a long root of some kind. There was some rice in the broth but the best part was this; as you tear apart the chicken, all of the garlic, green onions and chicken skin create a stronger broth taste. It got better as you reached the bottom of the soup bowl. Bathrooms 10/10 Ambiance 9/10 Service 9/10 Food 9/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Value 8/10 Will I Return? Possibly...but just for the chicken soup!

    I love this place because of the honesty of people works there. My old friend from school flew from DC and he wanted to go out to lunch so we went there. Parking can be bit challenging but it well worth it. I was absent minded today because I forgot to drink my Celsius drink. Well the lunch was lovely and my gizzards were crispy. I left my Louis Vuitton wallet there by accident since my friend picked up the check. When I was in Pasadena, I realized my wallet was missing. Then I called this business and the lady said she has it and told me not to worry and take your time. And I went back and there it was. Cash & cards everything was in tact. I really appreciate the honesty of people works there. I recommend this restaurant, 100%!!

    5 sweet and spice and 5 lemon honey with pickled cabbage and radish
    Shane A.

    Food was awesome and the service was great. I had the half chicken 10 piece sweet and spicy and lemon honey. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely

    12 soy garlic drumsticks

    Cannot emphasize how amazing the chicken was and how absolutely juicy it was. So incredibly tender and juicy and perfectly crispy/crunchy with a nice thin batter. Definitely coming again and definitely recommend giving this place a try, much better than bb.q chicken. We tried the soy garlic drumsticks and it was so flavorful and delightfully garlicky. We also tried the carbonara which I enjoyed. It wasn't quite an Italian-style carbonara, but still very delicious and I really liked that the sauce wasn't too heavy. Linguini noodles were perfectly al dente.

    Marinara pasta with fried chicken!

    I had always heard about this place from my food research and it was further reinforced by a friend…read morewho recommended this to us. We came as a group of 9 and thankfully, they allow for reservations if you are a group of 8 or bigger. Take note! Especially in this LA peak heat. We checked in with the valet and they gave us menus as we waited about 15/20 minutes for the table to be ready. You will need to order before you are seated and you cannot order anymore food once you are seated, given how popular they are, this makes plenty sense. We were seated inside with cooling AC and the restaurant is quite large inside! It could certainly have several parties in there. Soon, our galbi kalguksu, XL chicken kalguksu, tteokbeokki and XL pork jowl and pork belly bossam showed up. Everything was extra delicious and fresh. The soups in both the galbi and chicken kalguksus were amazing and the hand pulled noodles were divine. We drank and ate everything up quickly. The tteokbeokki was delicious, but too spicy so the rest of the party was able to enjoy it. The bossam was all so tender and had just enough napa and garlic to go with it along with the many unique sauces we could dip all the meats in. Everyone left feeling happy and it satisfied everyone's palates.

It was one of my favorite spots for kalguksu, so I was excited to come back. We visited on a Saturday around 2:00 PM. The first thing that stood out was the wait. There was a line outside despite there being numerous vacant tables inside the restaurant. I'm not sure why customers were expected to wait outside, especially during the current LA heat wave, when seating appeared to be available. While waiting, we were given menus. The first thing I noticed was the price increase. The clam kalguksu is now $22.99, which felt quite expensive, even accounting for inflation. Once seated, we were served the rice with doenjang paste and the three varieties of kimchi. Unfortunately, I found almost all of the kimchi to be noticeably saltier than I remembered, with the exception of the radish kimchi, which was enjoyable. I honestly don't remember the kimchi tasting this salty in the past. It even made us wonder whether it was intended to discourage customers from requesting refills, though I hope that wasn't the case. We ordered the new beef rib kalguksu and the clam (bajirak) kalguksu. The beef rib broth was overwhelmingly salty for our taste, to the point that I mentioned it to our server. The hand-cut noodles themselves were still excellent, but I also noticed that the clam kalguksu contained significantly fewer clams than I remember from previous visits--roughly half the portion I used to receive years ago. The noodles remain well made, but it's difficult to justify the current price when the portions seem smaller and the broths are considerably saltier than before. What originally made this restaurant special to me was its fresh, clean-tasting broth, flavorful kimchi, and generous amount of clams. Unfortunately, my recent visit didn't live up to those memories. With so many excellent kalguksu restaurants in the area, I don't see myself returning. I understand that restaurants evolve and may adjust recipes to appeal to a broader customer base, especially since most of the diners during my visit appeared to be non-Korean. However, I genuinely miss the balanced flavors, generous portions, and value that made this restaurant stand out years ago.

If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
