Great chicken, side dishes, for a reasonable price. Seating space is a bit small, but service was very good. The Chon Dak paired perfectly with the drinks and dips. Haemeul pajeon was massive and delicious! Highly highly recommend coming here, the only issue was some clientele a bit later on were disruptive/loud, but that's to be expected in an authentic East Asian izakaya setting. read more

Excellent Korean street food right in your back yard in South Bay. There is extra wait sometimes but the food is better than most hyped places in Ktown. There is no need to drive far for great Korean food. They're open late too. read more

This place was pretty good! Love the honey garlic wings thy were sooo crunchy, and the flavor was spot on!!! The service was alright, I think I would have liked more attentiveness from the staff, but overall pretty chill. Definitely should try. I didn't get any pictures sadly because we were starving And everything is shareable and decently priced! Only giving them 3 stars because of the service but food was great! read more

"Your orders do not have shellfish but one of them come from a shell :D" Great place to have Korean Fried Chicken for those who have food allergies (especially nut since none of them have it nor do they use peanut oil so there's not even a chance for contamination). They take allergies and food restrictions seriously and the owner (?) is funny and charming to boot. They greatly stepped up their game since the last time we've visited. Expanded their menu to include kbbq items, expanded their restaurant, became high tech that their tables now have a tablet where you could place your orders. Their soy garlic chicken wings were already great before, but they even made it better by having a better ratio of the sauce with their greatly fried chicken. This has now become my number 1 Korean Fried Chicken place in the south bay. Will definitely come back. Thank you very much for taking care of us ahgassi! read more

Chon Dak - Our delicious tofu - Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

Came here after visiting my family in the area. This spot has been here for years, so why not try it now? Parking: There's a medium sized parking lot, so finding a spot can be easy. Ambiance/Environment: You can tell this restaurant has been here for a long time. We were greeted right when we entered. It was empty when we visited at 5pm, but it became more busy during their dinner rush. Service: Shout out to Jenny! She was wonderful, quick, & efficient. She's very knowledgeable about the menu. She does speak English, and there were a couple Spanish speaking servers. You'd self order from the tablet and pay at the end. Menu items: 1) Whole Roast Chicken - I saw this on their social media, so I had to try this also lol. It's literally a whole chicken. Tasted really good and cooked well. It came with 3 sauces, and it tasted even better. Make sure to dip! This is shareable at least between 3-4 people. 2) Kimchi Fried Rice - My favorite side dish! Sooo delicious! Other than the egg, it doesn't come with any protein. 3) Bulgogi Fries w/ filled corn cheese - Jenny recommended this to us with corn cheese. Wow! There was a generous amount of bulgogi, and the corn cheese made it even tastier! 4) Seafood & Green Onion Pancake - I love Korean pancakes! There was A LOT of green onions. There were also pieces of shrimp. Could use a bit more shrimp but still good! 5) Spicy Rice Cake w/ ramen noodles - Presentation is on point! There were a generous amount of toppings and sides that came with this! This was a very rich dish. The ramen made it even more fulfilling lol. Make sure to mix everything well! Pricing: My bf and I enjoyed everything! This definitely satisfied our Korean-comfort-food cravings haha! Everything is shareable between 3-4 people, so I'd say it's worth its price. read more

We came with a party of three and were immediately greeted by the waitress! She came and walked us through the most popular items on the menu on the iPad out on the front, which which was really helpful as it was our first time eating here in in person. The ambiance was pretty typical for a late night Korean pub-style restaurant, rowdy with loud music, which is great for a night with drinks and friends. It's honestly the whole ktown experience but without the hassle of driving to ktown and needing to struggle to find parking. Here's what we ordered: - Soy Garlic Chicken wings: delicious! We've had this delivered before from Uber Eats and is actually the reason why we decided to make the drive to this restaurant to begin with. Crispy, flaky batter without that isn't dense and the chicken is piping hot and juicy on the inside. I consider myself a Korean fried chicken afficionado and I'll say this is one of the best options for it outside of ktown. Kimchi Pancake: thin and crispy! I love Korean pancakes that aren't thick and battery, so this was right up my alley. The kimchi taste works great with the pancake, and I'll definitely try the seafood pancake next time if it's done the same way. Chondak: Surprisingly, this wasn't marked as a popular item on the menu, but we felt that we had to order the restaurants namesake item. It smells AMAZING and tastes the same way it smells. Incredibly aromatic and the chicken still retains a slightly charred, crispy exterior while still being juicy on the inside. The closest comparison I can make is probably a really good yakitori! The aroma of the cheese makes even the cabbage taste amazing, and the slightly charred tteoboki was the best I've ever had. Also, try the yuzu mustard with the chicken! Spicy Tteobokki: I liked the tteobokki in the chondak dish better, but this is your standard take on tteobokki! Great if you can handle the spice - it looks spicier than it tastes! Rice: I normally don't review rice, but since some restaurants let their rice sit out all day after cooking it in the morning, I'm pleased to announce the rice here is warm and fluffy, just like it should be. Overall, definitely will be back, especially since it's one of the only late night spots in the area! Thanks to our server, who was super friendly and fun! read more

Chon Dak - Pork belly - Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

Chon Dak in Gardena is the perfect spot for late-night Korean comfort food, especially if you're a fried chicken lover! The vibe is laid-back, and if you get the chance to meet the owner, you'll get the best experience since she is super friendly and highly sociable. The highlight for me was the garlic soy fried chicken for the perfectly crispy skin, juicy meat, and a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy glaze that tasted really good. I also tried their spicy rice cake platter, which came loaded with ramen, intestine sausage, seaweed rolls, and corn cheese, a generous spread that's perfect for bigger groups. The kimchi fried rice was a great addition to the meal, and I thoroughly enjoyed the moment the yolk popped, adding a creamy richness to the dish. The kimchi stew with ramen noodles had a rich, comforting broth with just the right amount of spice and tang, and I really enjoyed their pork belly which was nicely charred and tender. Portion sizes are generous and reasonably priced, and they have a great selection of Korean beers and soju to pair with the meal. Chon Dak is open 7 days a week from 3pm-2am and is the ideal spot for satisfying late-night cravings past midnight with great food! read more

The outside of the chicken was perfectly crunchy. Sauce was sweet yet savory! The cold conch noodles were soft, and the noodles were perfectly spicy! 10/10 recommend! Owner is super sweet, so service was good. read more

I found this place from an instagram reel. Totally worth visiting Service was amazing. This was our first time at the restaurant and she was so amazing at explaining what the favorites are. Since it was our first time she let us pick a song to play. The food was soo good. Since there was only 2 of us we didnt want to order too much but we got the chicken and bulgogi fries. The roasted chicken (not pictured because we devoured it right when it came out) was very juicy and the bulgogi fries were very flavorful especially with the corn cheese on top. read more

Chon Dak - Bulgogi fries - Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

Late night eats and drinks in Los Angeles! This spot is perfect to satisfy late night cravings with korean street/pub food, including tteokbokki, bulgogi fries, fried chicken, alcohol and much more. We ordered the whole fried chicken that they split in front of you. It was juicy, crispy and crunchy and paired nicely with the three sauces provided. The bulgogi fries were topped with corn cheese, which tasted amazing! Its drizzled with similar sauce as the dipping sauce for chicken. The fries were crispy. The green onion and seafood pancake was jam packed with green onions and seafood in every slice. Would have been even better if it was crispier. The tteokbokki with added ramen is such a comfort meal! It has a mild kick to it. They have a parking lot that is shared with some of the small businesses in the plaza. The water is self serve. They have cups and several containers of cold water on the countertops with easy access. You can order and ring for service using the tablet on the table. Overall, a great place to visit after events since they're open late everyday! read more

My friends and I hit this place right after a concert and OMG--what a gem! It's a tiny pub but packed with flavor. You order on a tablet outside, and by the time we sat down, they already had our drinks and sides on the table. So smooth. Loved the chill vibes--we got to hang out and eat as the food rolled out. Everything was on point. Do not skip the soy sauce fried chicken. Legit the best thing we had. Can't wait to come back and go all in on their intestine combo! read more

Went here late Thanksgiving evening with my mom after enjoying myself the first time. Spacious parking lot, plenty of space. We were greeted by a server outside at the entrance after stepping out of the car, friendly service, everything served in a timely manner. I love how the pork belly combo comes with multiple dishes. A true korean style dinner. Not to forget the fact that all the food comes out in order.So they'll bring out the corn cheese first.As an appetizer and then the fried chicken, followed by the main part of the combo which would be stew and pork belly. Stew has deep delicious fragrant taste. Pork belly is thick cut andthey grill it+cut it for you. Definitely a must try at least once. Y e s, its expensive but the quality of food and service shows for it. Even my mom approves of this place . To be completely honest, I was a little skeptical going back. The second time with my mom, just because of some of the reviews I've read, but all those negative reviews have been taken care of I had no issues with quality of service or the speed of service. And the 2 servers that were working at the time were very attentive and quick to bring you whatever you asked for. read more

Rating this based off the food and how it is such a hole in the wall. You can expect 0 service as you order off a tablet and there was only 1 server for the whole restaurant of 7-8 parties. He was running around trying to serve everyone. The water is also self service but the jugs were completely empty. Now onto the food - portions are huge and authentic. Exceeded my expectations for a place in the South Bay when you don't want to drive to ktown in traffic. The portions are huge and we will be eating tteokbokki for the next few days read more

We were pleasantly surprised with this hole in the wall bar joint. Funny thing about ending up here was that we weren't hungry and only wanted a small snack-y portion for dinner. We drove by many places and kept remarking how we weren't very hungry and didn't want to eat a full-on meal. However, when we arrived here, we checked out the menu and ended up getting a large Combo with enough food for 4 Adults! Needless-to-say, we took home a lot of food! We opted for #30, which is a Grilled Pork Belly BBQ Combo. It comes with 4 large pieces of Pork Belly and Kimchi, Combination Tofu Soup, Soy Garlic Wings, & Corn Cheese. This Combo costs $86.99. The server brought out a metal compartmental tray with a variety of Banchan. We ate most of it while waiting for our order. Our server kept super busy, yet he stayed on top of everything! We received the Corn Cheese first. So much cheesy goodness! Next to come out was the Combination Tofu Soup. Wow! It was so scrumptious with Mussels, Clams, Crab, and other goodies in a slightly spicy and rich broth! Then he brought out the Pork Belly with Kimchi on a grill. He cooks and cuts up the Pork Belly into almost bite-sized pieces. The Kimchi is flavorful and contains some Tteobokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) mixed in it. The Pork Belly is amazing! Hubby isn't generally a huge fan of it, but he said this one was really good!! It didn't even dry out sitting on the grill. I loved the pieces that were charred! Lastly, the Soy Garlic Wings arrived. As stuffed as we were, we forced ourselves to eat some wings! The exterior was crisp and the interior was moist. The wings were exactly as they should be! We loved the flavor & texture! Cost when ordered individually totals $92.96: Pork Belly BBQ $37.99 Combination Tofu Soup $19.99 Soy Garlic Wings $20.99 Corn Cheese $13.99 I know we'll be back! If you want a hearty and tasty meal, come here! Bring some friends with you, too! read more
