Tteokbokki
Albert C.

honestly, the food here was INCREDIBLE & i would come here again for the amazing dishes. in addition, ordering was easy as well & they have tablets to order from and it's lowkey addicting to just keep on ordering. my favorite things i ordered was the chon-dak & the soy garlic wings. the tteokbokki was really good as well but to be real... i wouldn't get it again because i don't think it's THAT worth it. service: not gonna lie it was bad. my party & i did not feel welcomed. our waiter was quiet mostly the entire time which it felt off-putting. ambiance: it's a vibeeeeeee

Pork belly
Kaysy B.

The food was amazing. Definitely exceeded my expectations. Service was fast and friendly. Cozy vibes inside definitely coming back. Kimchi fried rice was my favorite!

Fried rice
Cheri S.

I came here late at night with a group of friends who told me that they LOVE this place. Well... I thought the food was just okay. I wouldn't write home about it. I don't think I would even come here during the day. But at night if you are watching a game or going out with friends I think this could be a good spot. It really gave sports bar. They take a hands off approach to ordering so you use an IPad... but their iPads kept freezing or dying on us. They also add gratitude despite not really using waitresses.

Fishcake Soup
Paula Ann B.

I've been here multiple times and it honestly never gets old. We stopped by again after the Chris Brown and Usher concert, and it was the perfect late-night meal. The food was hot, flavorful, and satisfying, with great portions for sharing. Definitely one of our go-to spots in Gardena, and we'll keep coming back!

Suriya P.

Tried Chondak for the first time and was really impressed with both the food and the service. We ordered the kimchi fried rice, the roasted fried whole chicken with dipping sauces, and the platter that comes with spicy rice cakes, cheesy ramen, fried dumplings, blood sausage, and gimmari. The platter ended up being my favorite, a great variety and everything was cooked well and full of flavor. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and while all the sauces were good, the mustard sauce stood out as my favorite. Service was spectacular from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Overall a great experience, and I'll definitely be coming back.

Jennie is thee best!! Space is cozy. Food is yummy and comforting. Recommend the bulgolgi over rice, fried chicken, fried seaweed rolls, and spicy rice cakes (tip: add noodles!). Service is friendly and efficient. Extra points for playing BTS while we ate during the concert week! Enjoyed our meals at Chon Dak - Will be back again when we're in the area!

sweet & spicy chicken
Kiki P.

YUMMY! Came before BTS concert once and then Had to come again because it was delicious! Every item was delicious and the vibe was right because they knew we were ARMY and immediately put on a BTS playlist. Vibe check. Food check Thanks Jennie!

Best Korean street food
Ashley M.

Chon Dak is serving massive portions of Korean street food and that whole crispy fried chicken is on EVERY table. Soy garlic wings, banchan for days, and the corn cheese + bulgogi fries combo = unreal House-made sauces, generous plates, and open till 2AM. Late-night cravings? Covered.

Grilled pork belly
Samuel C.

As my reviews are heavily weighted towards food taste, the food is okay, with the pork belly being a disappointment for me. The place has a good dive vibe for guilt-free drinks and Korean comfort food. And the owner is super friendly. The ambience is excellent here. If you are on a late night snack attack in LA South Bay, I recommend this place for that - they are open till 2am. Since my reviews and ratings are all about the food. Food-wise, Chon Dak is average.  Charcoal Grilled Pork Belly - 2/5. This may be subjective. Maybe this isn't the proper cut of pork belly for this dish, but I find it too thick, of poor quality, and too fatty. The dipping sauce is just average, nothing special. I want to acknowledge that the restaurant used the right iron skillet and that, with some assistance from the waiter, the pork belly was browned correctly on the edges, giving it a good texture. Nonetheless, the whole pork belly just didn't come together for me when I ate it. Regretfully, this isn't my favorite item. Roasted Fried Whole Chicken - 4/5. This is a good dish. Overall, the chicken was well marinated. The skin was crispy and had a pleasant rotisserie taste. The inside isn't as juicy as I would like, but it was too shabby in terms of taste and juiciness. It's a good dish to complement the beer if you aren't looking for something too heavy.

Corn Cheese
Samuel L.

An amazing place to go to with large groups. The food and service were all top notch, made fresh to order and excellent in taste! Would highly recommend the corn cheese, fried chicken and the fish cake soup, all excellent for large groups. The space seems a little small and I've heard it can fill up so come early if you can. Otherwise there are no other notes other than visit now!

Joy C.

Definitely a great late night eat spot! Such a different spot from K-Town ... extra bonus is own parking lot! Thanks for the rec for the pork belly combo. My group of four was full and it was just enough food. Love the extra help you get with the cooking. Order through the individual tablets. Friendly service n

Fried chicken with their ranch sauce
Tom B.

Just like the other post, the chicken is FIRE! Crispy on the outside and hot and juicy on the inside! Fully cooked! It came with some chon (Mac salad, Persian cucumber kimchee, cabbage in some sauce, daikon and some spicy peppers. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice. All were so good! Good beats! Good place for a hangout with friends or a date.

Tokkbokki with udon, kimchi fried rice, whole fried chicken
Nancy C.

One of the few spots in the Southbay open late. Delicious and authentic Korean food with excellent customer service. The owner is so sweet. The whole chicken was super crispy and the dipping sauces made it so scrumptious. Kimchi fried rice had a perfect sunny side up egg on top and was super flavorful. Tokkbokki has an epic cheese pull and a spicy sauce.

Their price for renting a space was better than most in the South Bay which I appreciated and it came with the space, tables, and beer tokens. I do wish however that their drink menu had more options, as it's essentially only a few beers and that was it. They also let you cater your own food which I appreciated. However, the day of event was not great and we did not appreciate the hospitality of the main guy we worked with. The main guy was not kind or helpful and I would not chose to host here again because of him. Besides the tables for guests to sit on which were very dirty and not cleaned of previous food scraps, we only were provided a few tables to put our own food and items on. Considering it's a party rental space I would've expected there to be significantly more tables that we could use for our event. In addition, it was a hot summer day and they only provided us with a few umbrellas after we moved our event to the outdoor space to accommodate common space, leaving our guests hot and uncomfortable. He wasn't kind when we asked for additional tables/umbrellas and he also was extremely rude to me during the party which really bothered me. A couple of friends had given me wine bottles as gifts-a very normal gift to give. And they were clearly gifts and on the gift table, not intended to be drank or used. He aggressively came up to me and told me they can't be there, to which I explained I did not bring them and they are gifts and will be taken home with me and have no intention of opening. He proceeded to continuously tell me to remove them from the property even though I stated multiple times they were gifts and not to be drank. He was rude, unprofessional, and should have not chose to share this with me as I was in the middle of socializing with my guests and by no means wanted to "deal" with the few wine bottle gifts that weren't causing any issues. Overall, the brewery is cool and everybody else was great. But I would not choose to work with them again because of the lead man and encourage him to approach future events with a kinder heart and better professionalism as I imagine manyyy people will receive wine as gifts in the future and it is not right to harass them during their event if so.

But we dropped into The Meeting Spot last night to pre-game before the Jay Z concert at Sofi Stadium. The drinks were expensive but tasty. We ordered smoked chicken nachos which were a healthy portion that 2-3 people could easily split. I think there are some tweaks needed to make this a more compelling dish but we were pretty confident that it proved to be better than the tenders and fries we would have ended up with inside the stadium. Weather last night was perfect so I totally expect this place to crush it on good weather days that line up with games/events.

We came here to celebrate my cousin's graduation after she became a doctor, and it was the perfect place for a special occasion. The food was delicious, rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The drinks were great too! I enjoyed the wine and champagne, which were smooth and not overly strong. A special shoutout to our server, Daniel, who did an amazing job taking care of our group. He was attentive, friendly, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. One thing to keep in mind: it can get pretty windy up there since you're close to the airport, so bring a light jacket or dress accordingly. Thankfully, they have fire pits and heat lamps that help keep everyone warm and comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu.

But there is street parking and a parking lot across the street. Since the surrounding area are all businesses, coming here after work should be easier to find parking. Entrance to the bar is a little hidden. And there are no signs for it. When you walk in, go pass the check-in desk to get to the elevators. There are a couple of elevators that go to the top while some don't so read the signs there. Once you're at the top and exit the elevator, it does not look like a restaurant or a bar. It's more of a white empty room with a bar. Looks really makeshift. Walk outside and that's where is looks more attractive. There are areas for big groups to relax on a couch. There is also a long, gas firepit on crystal rocks. You can see the other pictures other shared of the beautiful sign. Unfortunately when I went the flowers were brown. The view was okay as all you're seeing are the other business buildings. Nothing wowing. But it's still nice to be elevated and outside. We had a couple of drinks (Birds of Paradise and Southbay Hospitality) and some fries and wings. Everything was delicious but at hotel prices. It was not cheap here but it wasn't expensive. Staff was nice. They leave you alone. No one followed up on how we were doing, which was good and bad. Drinks took some time and the food took longer to come out. There were a few big groups ending the day of work there. It took us awhile to get the bill and pay it. End of the day, it was nice. I would not actively come back but I would come if others suggests it.
