This place was interesting because it was part of Bulgogi Hut so I was a bit confused when trying to look for the place inside. I had been craving authentic KFC and came across Chicken hut on yelp during a drive through Ktown. Overall I really liked it -- the portions could be better, the banchan could also be also be better (please see pictures below) and the fried rice was a bit on the oilier side but nonetheless still a solid meal. I just didn't feel too great afterwards. However, if you are looking for solid KFC in ktown, I think this is a great place to try!

Sweet Chili Fried Chicken
Alexander Y.

Since I was already dining at Bulgogi Hut, I figured I would try some Chicken Hut, which debuted during the pandemic-enforced dining shutdown and turned out to be very popular! I ordered wings with original and sweet chili...well, what I THOUGHT was original turned out to be soy garlic. Anyways, both were really good. Of the two flavors, I liked the sweet chili a little more than the soy garlic. Batter was great for both. The sweetness of sweet chili complemented the batter really well. Soy garlic had a very unique flavor to it, I'm not mad that I got this instead of original. Since our Bulgogi Hut server Sandra basically just added this Chicken Hut order on top of my meal, I just paid for it as part of my lunch. I'll give a pass for not hearing my order correctly, the music is loud in here and quite frankly she was pretty busy serving us. Next time though, I want the original.

Whole Chicken Combo (+2 tall sodas not pictured)

My sister and I got the whole chicken combo. The food was 10/10. The chicken falls off the bone easily. The fried chicken is crunchy. The spicy radish is good, not too spicy or bland. I was surprised to receive a bigger portion of fries. The fries are crispy and lightly salted. I like the Soy Garlic Chicken the most. Customer service was great. Our server checked on us a couple of times while we were there and made sure we had everything we needed. When ordering you have to say that you're there for the chicken because they'll assume you're there for the kbbq.

Steamed Rice

I came in for lunch but instead was offered a job application. Lol On a serious matter though. The original fried chicken was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Pair it with the sweet-heat and you have a good tasty chicken. The spicy fried rice cake was also good. The sauce added the needed flavor to be worth it for the price. Overall, incredible customer service and enjoyed the food, it was well worth. Will be coming back in the near future.

Amazing service, the food was phenomenal I honestly was craving Korean fried chicken & this restaurant popped up it's definitely a hidden gem every order is made to order so the chicken comes out pipping hot nice golden & crispy , and if you order the wings you won't regret it is glazed & tossed to perfection!!! It is sooo good I highly recommend the sweet chili sauce it is mouthwatering good okay !!! This place shocked me how good it was I came back twice in the same day the inside is really nice as well although I didn't dine I came inside to purchase a macaron ice cream strawberry it was so goood it took me back its definitely homemade ice cream and the macaron was sooo bomb if your in the area this establishment is a must try it's worth every single dollar you will not regret at all !!!! Korean Fried Chicken is a 10/10

Sweet chili wings

Good place in Koreatown, located on the ground floor of an office block. It was a bit confusing to us because the sign we saw most prominently read "Bulgogi Hut." Luckily we asked and were assured that it was also the Chicken Hut. I tried the wings because I love chicken wings and while they were quite good, my companion's bento box cost roughly the same and he got much more food. Will be back to sample the soy sauce-garlic wings. Also, this place stays open relatively late (10 p.m.?), which was a plus for us. I would also be curious to try their AYCE barbecue but you have to be with the right company for that, and not for less than an hour prior to the official closing time. I actually would give this 3.75 stars but I can't seem to adjust my personal rating up above. I take off a quarter of a point because it's a bit difficult to find and because the vents were on--understandably, to keep the scents of grilling meats and garlic and kimchee moving along (there are barbecue grills at each table). But on this particular January night when we visited, we felt very cold. I joked with my companion that the restaurateurs apparently wanted to achieve the feel of Seoul in the winter!

$27 ($or $29, as insisted by the hostess and the manager) worth of dry-ass cardboard refuse chicken

Thanks for ruining my perfectly fine Sunday afternoon, Chicken Hut. I ordered half & half - sweet chili & soy garlic. The meager amount was already a minus when I opened it - I ended up only having 3 pieces of the sweet chili, because there were more bone and marrow than actual meat. The chili paste used is actually not bad. Not great, but passable, a bit too sour, and not enough spice and sweetness. The meat, whatever little amount that is present, had very little juice to it. Made me feel like they were too cheap to use the actually tasty parts, not leftover scrap. The pickup process was 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. We were pleasantly surprised with a price tag of $28 and some change, when the menu that is on Yelp read $21.99. "Sorry, price recently went up," the hostess said, as she showed us the updated menu, with a price of $24. We explained to the hostess that $24 + tax does not come out to $29. "Oh sorry, I charged you for the wrong items!" Ok, that's fine, except she disappeared to the back for 10 minutes (while the line for Bulgogi Hut kept growing, lol). When she didn't come back, we went in to look for her, and our chicken. She informed us that the new total would be $26.xx, and we handed her $40. She handed back $11, and went on to insist that her math was correct. All right, different people have different challenges, I get it. Here's where service actually became a problem for a to-go pick up order. The manager also came out, and insisted that the transaction was correct. To quote her, word for word, "What is the problem?" The problem is that Chicken Hut apparently can't be bothered to have a cash register, which would do the math for mathematically challenged employees. We ultimately got our money, and our long delayed chicken, and I got to leave a nice review for a respectable establishment, so I guess we can call it even.

This is an overdue review - I'm a huge fan of Bulgogi Hut, been going there with my family since forever. They've got great quality meats and you really couldn't beat their price for AYCE. And their corn cheese is soooooo good. I came to try this place because I saw their post on SAT about how they were struggling during covid and they started doing korean fried chicken. We went for a late lunch last August of 2020. Upon arrival, they checked your temperature and seated you out in front of their restaurant (every table was sanitized prior to our arrival, all tables separated by 6ft and via plexiglass as well). We ordered their korean fried chicken (soy garlic and I think a spicy flavor as well), some korean street tacos, and a bulgogi bibimbap. Their korean fried chicken was surprisingly really good. It was crunchy, it was sweet, juicy, the batter wasn't too thick and overall great wings in general. Their korean street tacos (although they didn't look like much) they were pretty bomb as well! The bulgogi bibimbap was where it was at! For about $13, this thing was HUGE! And it was still very hot and steaming when they brought it out! I love how crispy the bottom rice gets on their stone pot. Very very delicious and definitely had plenty of leftovers for dinner that night!!

Half sweet chili half garlic.

I had high hopes for this place as the reviews were stellar. I don't know if they just had an off day with my order or what, but I didn't have the best experience. Here are the pros and cons if you don't have the patience to read long reviews. Pros: -the sauces on the chicken were delicious -they give you A LOT OF DIPPING SAUCES Cons: -the actual wait time was a lot longer than what they said over the phone -the chicken is not the best quality (there's a lot of fat and weird stuff that's not meat) -they forgot things in my order -the radish isn't the delicious Korean white radish -the bacon wrapped rice cakes were disgusting. They were not only cold and hard, they used poor quality bacon and even when heated it tasted nasty Long version is below. First, I placed the order over the phone at around 12:10. I ordered: half sweet chili, half garlic chicken, bacon wrapped rice cakes, and the macaroni salad. The person on the phone recommended the bacon wrapped rice cakes and told me they were delicious so I was excited. She told me it'll take about 20 minutes, so I headed over there by exactly 12:30 (I don't like to be late and I don't like to wait). When I got there, the server told me that my order wasn't ready yet. I paid in advance and I just waited there, since I thought it would only be a short wait. Suddenly, a bunch of people started showing up to pick up their orders, but pretty much none of their orders were ready yet, and a huge line formed. After about 12:45, I asked the server how much longer mine would be, and she said that it shouldn't take much longer. Finally at 12:50ish, a whole 20 minutes extra (40 minutes total), my order was finally out. Normally I'd be more angry about the extra wait since I HATE WAITING, but whatever...I just left because I was excited about my food. When I got home.... Disappointment. They forgot to pack my macaroni and the bacon wrapped rice cakes were COLD and HARD. The server over the phone also told me that I would get 4 sides of radish (2 for each type of chicken) but I only got 2. :/ Side note about the radish too--it's not the delicious square white radish that they have on the website and that comes with most Korean fried chicken. It's spicy radish that's chopped into thin slices (like cucumbers in sushi hand rolls. Diced? Idk I'm not a cook). I ignored the rice cakes for now since I wanted to try the chicken. The sweet chili was a little sickeningly sweet and drippy, but whatever, I think they were supposed to be that way. The garlic was actually the best. They need to patent that garlic seasoning cuz it's really savory and delicious. The bad thing though, was that there was a lot of fat and weird spots in the chicken. I had to spit out a lot of what I was chewing because of the weird fatty/other mouth feel. I finally tried the bacon wrapped rice cakes... And I wish I hadn't. I tried them 2x: once as they were and once heated. The first time I tried it I had to spit it out. The bacon smelled old and the rice cakes were hard and disgusting. I heated it up, hoping maybe it would be better once they were heated. It wasn't better. If anything it was worse- the rice cakes literally turned into glue and it was mixed in with the grease from the bacon, making it taste like chewy, stinky lard. Anyway, I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager regarding my experience. They apologized and refunded my money for the rice cakes and the macaroni. All in all....idk if I'd return again. :/ I'm not like... Angry... But I'm just disappointed that I chose this place instead of waiting for GolTong chicken. :(

Delicious fried chicken. This is inside Bulgogi Hut and was pretty empty during lunch on a weekday. The original fried chicken comes in 8 pieces is well-marinated and the skin is super crispy. Loved the thin fries and the sliced pickled radish that came with my chicken.

First time getting chicken hut (I received a flyer with my Bulgogi hut order- amazing spot) I ordered on Postmates. My order included oneone whole fried chicken, 1/2 fried chicken and Bulgogi kimchi fried rice. It was not enough for 4 people. The quality was good! I was impressed by the unique taste of the sauces (bbq, honey mustard, and spicy Mayo). This is finger food... like an appetizer. Overall, delicious but pricey depending on the quantity you get. Like my order would've been enough for 2-3 people.

AMAZING chicken! We did have a little trouble finding this place. It is the same as Bulgogi Hut! Overall the experience was very enjoyable. Great portions and lots of flavors to choose from. The food was made very fresh and came with a generous side of picked radish. I tried the garlic and sweet and spicy sauce and both were very good (I preferred the garlic a bit more). The staff was kind, very little interaction overall and took a while to wave someone over for the check. I would rate food 5/5, service 4/5 and environamnt 4/5 (a bit dim and loud so much harder to have a conversation but imagine like bar environment. Not a bad thing but just not what we were expecting)

Marvin was one of the best servers I've ever have had always attentive and friendly love it shout out to him!!! Give my boy a raise

In Los Angeles for surgery and decided to eat my last delicious meal before going under the knife…read more This place is excellent and yes I'd drive back here from Irvine for the rib ramen. The soup was simply delicious with a smooth velvety texture and flavor. The ramen was so good (freshly made every day) in its finest al dente texture with a nice large diameter. Rare in The OC. The rib meat can be removed with chopsticks ! And the most tenderness of protein. The kimchi cabbage and radishes are so delicious. Spicy but not kickass (ok for me) biting into sweetness I've never tasted anywhere in the world that serves K-ramen. Service is most excellent as they immediately greet you, seat you, menu, then, the table top appetizers are served. I believe the owner or chef brought the entrees. That's different! He came out later to see how everything was! As I tried to visit him in the kitchen to compliment, he's gone! Inside has plenty of seating with booths on one side and bench seats on the other with chair seated tables in the middle. Highly recommend this place. Competitively priced. Nothing took away from the experience.

Service was a bit slower than we would have expected, even taking into consideration that it was a weekday. We arrived early before the rush but were still impacted by it before we finished. My friend's soup broth dish really should have come out first but it came long last, we had to ask about it. I suspect they forgot/missed it, though they did not acknowledge it.

They've mastered the art of keeping Korean flavors while dropping in modern twists that totally elevate every dish. The braised galbi served on a spread of mashed potatoes with various mushrooms is a total masterpiece. The zabuton is also one of my favorites if you like an asado and plenty of garlic. The golden chicken nuggets with seaweed powder on top are so perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I have to admit the corn cheese egg rolls are probably my favorite thing on the menu, something as simple like a mozzarella stick type of appetizer just really hits it for me. And one of my favorite cocktails of all time. The staff is always so nice every time. They're attentive and honest with us if we are over-ordering. The ambiance is elite, even after renovation. Danbi is an absolute gem in Ktown. It's the perfect spot show off the city to out-of-town guests or for an incredible night out. 10/10 recommend!

Service was never that superb here, as the servers always looked busy and they're hard to flag down. Today was a busy night for them as well, we came at peak dinner time, but by 20 mins into our dinner, quite a few tables had cleared up. It seemed like they only had 2 servers on the floor - same ones I see when we come in for lunch. The taller gentleman is usually nicer and more accommodating. For a group of 6 people, we got so little banchan. Usually when I go to a Korean restaurant with more than 5 people, we usually get 2 sets of banchan for each side of the table. With 6 people, 4 guys, we ran out of banchan almost immediately. Some of my friends' water cups stayed empty unless we asked for more. Never once did either of the servers check on our table. Every time we needed something, we had to flag them down or go up to the register to ask. Things we asked for were all reasonable: 1st round: - water refill 2nd round: - water refill - banchan refill - another order of soju - sharing bowls for the soup When the other server had brought over the bowls for the soup, he slid it against my soju cup and it spilled on the table and my lap. He noticed it too even turned around, but didn't offer any napkins. Our water refill, banchan AND the bottle of soju never came. I had to get up and ask for extra napkins to wipe the table/my jeans. My friends went almost the entire meal w.o water - at one point, it was SO hard to find & flag them down. We gave up on trying to get more banchan & soju, finally got water refill at the end, had to flag down for check, had to go up to the register to have them close the check, by this time the restaurant was maybe 50-60% empty. I'm giving them a higher rating because this is still my favorite bossam and doenjjang jjigae. However, very bummed to have experienced such an unpleasant service.

It's been a while since my last visit but I'd have to say nothing changed. The food was amazing,…read morethe staff were friendly, and the restaurant was packed and busy! I dropped by for lunch around noon on a Saturday and was so happy to be seated right away. Our party was a table for 5. Although half of our party was running late, the staff allowed us to be seated and didn't rush us to order. It was a refreshing experience, especially in koreatown - and a busy restaurant at that. We ordered the banchan set for 3 and 2 mains - Galbi and corvina. The banchan came with a variety of side dishes - that are refilled if you need more. The galbi was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the corvina was equally delicious and a nice addition to the table. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were incredibly generous. Overall, Borit Gorae continues to deliver on both quality and quantity. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Koreatown, and I'll be back again!

B R O when I tell you the amount of food here took me the heck out, I'm not even remotely joking…read moreLOL My friends and I came by for a late lunch on a weekday and had 0 regrets whatsoever. Honestly, this was such a crazy filling meal that we ended up skipping dinner and just having late night snacks at like 11 pm because of how full we were after eating here at 1:00 pm. I'm vegetarian, my 3 other friends are all omnivores so we got the set for 3 and then ordered 1 meat dish for them to share and even then there was a CRAZY amt of food. There is such a large variety of banchan + 2 soups (1 soybean paste soup or doenjang jjigae and the other a chicken soup). The banchan tasted fresh, healthy, and delicious overall. You can also ask for rice refills as your meal progresses in case you get low in comparison to the sides. Oh, and I almost forgot, they also gave us jeon/small pancakes which were deeelish. My friends loved their meat dish as well so all in all very happy and absolutely worth the price imo. We were all so stuffed by the end and just as we thought we were done, they gave us two different desserts and I definitely KO'ed on the spot. The interior is warm, inviting, and stylistically decorated with a lot of Korean touches. The center of the restaurant also has a variety of takeout containers so you don't need to feel like you're inhaling all the food at once and can take things to go. Absolutely swing by Borit Gogae if you are in the area!

tl;dr the delectable pork ribs overshadow the otherwise authentic but standard lineup at this…read morenow-shuttered Korean stalwart Los Angeles Koreatown is home to restaurants that specialize in every facet of Korean cuisine. 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.

I'm glad that they didn't charge a lot but gave less ingredients. Braised Short Rib $54- tender, a bit sweet, and be prepared to use your hands to grab the ribs. Prices are a bit high but its big and sharable. And unlimited banchans, although I was a bit sad that they ran out of fish cake. My kiddos love fish cake and I had to be the bigger person to let them be the ones to eat it. The cucumbers were delish and the staff cooks the food for you and serves you. I definitely see myself coming back here. I really enjoyed the food and so did my husband. Everything is well seasoned and fully packed/loaded. This Yelper gives this spot 2 thumbs up. Tips: *Private lot shared with other businesses (valet) or street parking. *Credit card accepted *Restroom available. *Great for big or small parties. *Staff speaks limited English and Korean. *They charge for to go boxes. *18% gratuity is added to parties of 4+. *Happy Hour 7 days a week 2-5pm for alcohol *No white rice only purple rice

This crazy person was yelling in the restaurant as we started getting our food and valet had to…read morecall the cops but the food was worth the crazy experience. Good portions and so comforting at a great price point. Stir fry pork leans sour from the kimchi; tteokbokki "less spicy" was still solidly spicy but the chew was amazing. Oxtail didn't taste too beefy but was still very flavorful. They only let us get three rounds of banchan before they said we weren't allowed to get anymore????? Like is that not the best part of Korean food?? Chef Kang also has some other spots around Ktown and apparently he started as a mortgage broker / home cook according to LAT. It was empty at 6 and we were kind of concerned about it (because what popular restaurant is empty at dinner hour on Saturday!) but people started streaming in at around 6:30!
