    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.

    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.

    Original Whole Fried Chicken

    We ordered the whole chicken and it was delicious and the staff was super friendly! The interior was also very nice and clean. Thank you chicken day!

    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.

    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
    Jeff C.

    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!

    Marinara pasta with fried chicken! Chicken was juicy inside and Crispy outside!! It's not too salty, it was perfect seasoning for me! And highball was amazing too! Highly recommend!!!

You can taste all the herbs, seasonings, and time they took to prepare. The broth is a little on the thicker end, but super filling. -Seafood Kalguksu: the broth is so flavorful and it comes filled to the brim with all types of seafood! The spice actually pairs really well with the seafood too. If you want a spicy stew, this is it! Noodles are thick and chewy too. -Bossam: so yummy! I wish I could get it more often but it's a huge portion, so come with a group so you can try it and the noodles! Everything is quality- the bossam slices, the lettuce, the toppings on the wide. Chefs kiss! My only small gripe is the portions are so big that when I come with one other person, we only have the stomach capacity to eat two dishes! Always excited to come back and try more.

It is pretty elegant inside, away from the shabbiness that most older strip malls in this area now reflect. I came with my daughter's father-in-law (SJ) for a weekend lunch, and we really enjoyed it. Kobawoo is named after the main character in a famous Korean satirical comic strip, with the name evoking resiliency in Korean culture, just like what the owners wanted for their restaurant. It has a nice modern website, with one page menu appearing with pictures. We took the Metro so didn't need to worry about parking (which was already packed) and were seated right away. Pretty much everyone inside were speaking Korean, and it was actually pretty quiet inside with a low key vibe (no flaming cheese or sizzling plates here). SJ ordered for us, getting the Combo Bossam ($75.99). The normal part was boiled pork belly with napa cabbage (both boiled plain and uncut pickled), pickled daikon, radish kimchi and wraps, and salt fermented shrimp. The combo portion added steamed skate and glazed pork feet (hock). We got to choose the steamed rice accompaniment, either white or purple. Later we got a large bottle of Cass Beer ($9.99) to share. Four banchans came immediately with the rice, and all were excellent: I really liked the egg omelet dish (def taking more than my share) and the cut napa kimchi. There was a bit of a lull, then the feet came out next. then the skate next, the main plate of pork belly with toppings last. The pork belly was served slightly warm, with the rest of the food being room temp (or cold). I enjoyed the pork belly, not so much the skate (didn't realize how gelatinous and [edible] boney it is) and the pork feet (served cold hock, not my favorite as the ratio of collagen/fat to muscle was too much for my taste, but glad I got to try it). Even though we ate meat from the most fatty/gelatinous parts of the pig, none of it was overly greasy. The ability to customize to get levels of spice and structure is what makes this so good. Each bite was an adventure, and I really enjoyed trying different combo wraps with the various ingredients laid out in front. Was glad that we had a booth for four, allowing us to spread out. We definitely ordered too big for the two of us, bringing a lot of it home. They have more affordable lunch specials as well, but it being a Saturday was not available. They do have the traditional dishes served by Korean restaurants (Kalbi, BibimBap, and JJigae). They are also known for their their jun (pancakes). Service was good, with them only coming over when asked. We had a lot to catch up on, and never felt hurried as we casually enjoyed our food and drink. They brought over take home containers once we asked, and paid at the table. The servers wished us well as we left, and we noticed how the parking situation had gotten even more hectic from the time we came in. The restaurant appears in Eater's 'Classic Los Angeles Restaurants Every Angeleno Must Try' list, specifically for the boiled pork belly dish. Bossam isn't usually the dish most folks think of when choosing Korean food. If it is, this restaurant certainly is the place to come to.

As a party of 3, we all ordered the set menu with barley rice, and I could not even begin to tell you how shocked I was when the waitress brought out the food. It was dish after dish after dish, and by the end of it, the entire table was completely filled with food. All the dishes were well flavored and complemented each other nicely. I really enjoyed that you can mix everything together and create your own combination of flavors depending on what you're in the mood for. There's a nice variety of textures and flavors, so the meal never felt repetitive. To get some protein (and fat lol), we also ordered the bossam. The pork belly was cooked perfectly... tender, juicy, and flavorful. It paired really well with the crispy cabbage and pickled vegetables, which helped cut through the richness of the pork. Overall, this was a really satisfying meal. You get a ton of food for the price, the flavors are solid, and the experience was really unique.

The perilla porridge stood out most. I never had perilla porridge. The taste was unique. It had chicken inside. The small cup of pumpkin soup was yummy. The soybean soup (fermented soy bean stew) had a very pungent smell. I wanted to enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I couldn't stand the smell and not comfortable with the taste. Wish they gave an option to choose from different stews. The desserts were good. I also like their plum tea/juice. The galbi was well marinated. Not as tender as I was hoping for, but it was still delicious. With the price, I do feel like the set should include a dish of meats. Especially since the restaurant requires 2 people at $34 each for the set. If you go 3 people, prob more worth it. Overall, it was a fun experience. Service was great.

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.

For anyone looking for a hearty meal, I'd recommend the combo, you get the cold noodles and an order of beef short ribs pork or chicken for about $30. My brother is a bodybuilder, so he goes for the Bibimbop (hot stone bowl with rice veggies and protein) and I'm guilty of stealing a few bites from his plate.
