Finally tried Geeko fried chicken today and it hit the spot! I tried the Korean sweet and spicy and the flavors were terrific and that crunch! The wings themselves were not skimpy either! Service was friendly as usual and pretty quick too. They were definitely made to order since they were piping hot! I sat inside for the first time and it was pretty basic. Lots of tables and some booths but most importantly everything was clean! Gotta try their fries and onion rings next time!

Geeko Chicken opened in early 2024, inside the Champ's Deli in Signal Hill. Was very satisfied with the food (taste and value), service for the Korean food ordered, and would gladly go there again for lunch if in the area. Once you pass the Costco in Signal Hill going East on Willow Street, the street turns pretty industrial, with mostly warehouses until merging into the 405. So was a bit confused when GeeKo (Gee's Korean) Chicken popped up in a search for Korean Fried Chicken, but Maps took us correctly there. There is plenty of surface parking, dedicated to the business. It's pretty non-descript from the outside, housed in an industrial but there is a large, high sign for both businesses. They share the same order space, with the same friendly employees manning both. It was fairly busy, with everyone ordering from the Korean side of the menu. It's a fast food set-up, ordering and paying first, with the food being delivered to your table. My wife and her mom found a booth, while I stood in line. Everything is made fresh to order, so it does take a bit of time, especially when busy. Korean Fried Chicken Wings (8 pcs) Honey Soy Garlic $13.95 - only wings are offered, and it's one flavor for every 8 pcs. If you define KFC as the various flavors, this is definitely it with the two most common (Korean Sweet and Spicy and Honey Soy Garlic) being offered. But not, if hankering for the shattered crisp coating coming from freshly made corn/potato starch batter (would be very difficult to do this for the very value price). Important to eat these immediately after being tossed. It came with carrot and celery sticks, and homemade pickled radish (a must with KFC). French Fries ($3.75) - eating these crinkle fries reminds me to ask: 'why can't other restaurants do a better job of serving deep fried potatoes like this?'. These were excellent, not overly battered. Like pizza and beer, french fries and chicken wings are a great combo for me. Kimchi Fried Rice ($14.95) - can't resist when I see this on the menu, and frankly wasn't expecting much, considering where I was. But when it came, knew immediately it was going to be great: a large heaping portion with a deep rouge color and plenty of spam pieces (pork just goes so well with kimchi). It had a beautiful cooked sunny side egg on top. Knew I wouldn't be able to finish it, but still ended up eating more than half, each bite as good as the previous. I loved this dish. There is a soda machine behind the counter, with one free refill (also a cooler with various can/bottles as well): a small was $2.50. I was pleasantly surprised that cups of ice water was offered for our party, without being asked. Tried to self bus, but it's not really set-up for it, so guessing they want you to leave your tray and utensils at the table. Ended up just handing it over to the counter as we left. Just needed a lid for the fried rice to bring it back home, which was just as good the next day.

Korean food menu. They have a separate deli menu as well.

Recently, I was craving something outside of my usual rotation. I've had KBBQ fatigue for the last two years, as I used to religiously go to KBBQ at every opportunity with friends and family. However, lately, I've been finding myself craving anything with brisket or bulgogi. While searching on Yelp, I fortunately stumbled upon Geeko Chicken. After reviewing their menu, I was intrigued enough to stop by and give them a shot. Upon arriving, the restaurant was quite empty. The space itself had a cozy, no-frills vibe. The owners were super nice and added a sense of warm hospitality to the experience. I placed an order for two bulgogi burritos and asked if they had any sauce to pair with my meal. The lovely Korean owners informed me that they had an orange sauce they call their "everything sauce," which they said was delicious enough to go with just about any dish. I was immediately sold by their enthusiasm, so I ordered a few extra sides to accompany my bulgogi burrito. My burrito was generally pretty good in terms of taste. It reminded me more of a wrap than a burrito, given how light it was. The burrito included white rice, mozzarella cheese, lettuce, and bulgogi. Even though it tasted great, I couldn't help but notice a few pieces of uncooked rice inside. The bulgogi was also a bit on the fatty side, and though it pains me to say this after hearing the owners rave about their "everything sauce"- it just wasn't for me. It reminded me of Thai peanut sauce with vinegar. Regardless of my minor critiques, I can definitely see myself coming back to explore more of their menu. It's a charming establishment with great service that I'd recommend to anyone in the area, at least for a one-and-done visit. Support your local businesses! :) 3.8/5

Checking out the GeeKo Chicken side of the Champ's Deli

Super meaty wings, deliciously crispy, well balanced spicy and sweet flavor. I couldn't get through all 8 wings they were too meaty for me lol. That's great problem to have when ordering wings. They would make a great wing party platter they stayed incredibly hot the whole time I was eating them. The people are very friendly and have a great Korean as well as traditional deli sandwich menus. Definitely need to come back and try more stuff but it will be hard to not order the wings. The counter staff is very friendly and helpful served up my food with a smile! I liked the almost divey diner ambiance it felt like they've had the same decor since the 1980s or possibly 70s but no holes in the furniture all clean and tidy so a tidy clean retro vintage deli decor. Love it and will be coming here for take out now that I've discovered it. Easy to miss driving by, plenty of parking easy in and out. Extensive menu and daily specials to try. If I worked near here I'd be coming for lunch every day!

Bulgogi Fries
Ben J.

Tucked away off the main street, this cozy, family-run spot is the kind of place you might easily drive past--but you shouldn't. My partner ordered the meatball sub and absolutely loved it. The bread was warm , and the meatballs were tender and flavorful, drenched in just the right amount of sauce. It seemed to be on the smaller side but the bold flavors made it so fulfilling. I went for the wonton soup since I wasn't too hungry. Although the position seemed small, the wontons were plump and filling, like a comforting bowl made from scratch in someone's kitchen. The broth was light without being heavy, and the wontons were similar to Korean dumplings. They weren't filled with any meat, just veggies and glass noodles. We decided to split the bulgogi fries! The bulgogi was perfectly cooked: tender, savory, and slightly sweet, while the condiments layered on top added brightness and balanced all the delicious umami flavors. On top of the tasty food, the staff were genuinely friendly and made us feel right at home. It's one of those places where you can tell they care both about their food and their customers. Highly recommend this little gem if you're looking for hearty, flavorful eats and warm hospitality!

Small order of KFC wings

I have been here a few times to have Korean Fried Chicken wings and decided to go with some wings and bulgogi kimbap. The wings were solid, as usual. The kimbap was huge but was just okay. The size of the kimbap pieces might have overwhelmed things a bit. I might stick with the wings.

These chicken wings are bomb dot com!  @ojbaylen

This place is a hidden secret of some good, quick Korean food! Their wings are yummy! It's also a sandwich shop! They have good lunch specials! Don't let the outside fool you!

8pc honey soy garlic wings
Criss N.

This is a great hole-in-the-wall spot to adventure into Korean food. It is connected to the Deli if you get nervous and change your mind, but I promise you won't regret trying Geeko Chicken. I got the 8pc Honey Soy Garlic wings, spicy bulgogi kimbap, and rose topokki. As someone who eats a lot of korean food and has lived in OC's and LA's Koreatown, this is a very great spot for Long Beach!  The wings were perfectly crispy and paired very well dipped in the rose topokki sauce. I also dipped the kimbap into the topokki sauce and that was heavenly. The kimbap is very large and a great thing to pick up for a quick lunch. Check them out!

Original and Honey Soy Glaze
Daro H.

Located in the most unassuming deli spot in Signal Hill is where you'll find some of the best Korean chicken wings in the area and they definitely rival many of the big chains in Cerritos/Artesia. I had the original and honey soy glaze wings and kimchi fried rice and bulgogi kimbap. The wings and the rice were outstanding because the wings were pretty sizable and had a great, even textured batter that wasn't too thick, but maintained it's crunchiness for a while. The meat was very juicy and tender and cook well throughout. It was served with pickled diakon but also carrots and celery with ranch dressing. The rice had a strong mild kick and was very buttery but not too oily from the spam, and the egg was cooked just right to allow the yolk to fuse with the rice. The kimbap was good but didn't stand out for me although the prices were very reasonable. It's a very clean and spacious area to dine in but takeout was a breeze and the food was packed perfectly so that it maintained its freshness for thr drive home. The folks behind the counter couldn't be nicer!

This family-owned deli never disappoints -- and they have Korean Fried Chicken Wings! The owners are so friendly, and the place has a welcoming, neighborhood vibe. There's plenty of seating with booths and tables, plus their own parking lot. It's perfect for groups because everyone can find something they like -- burgers, sandwiches, burritos, salads, or Korean dishes. They even serve breakfast before 11 a.m. The wings were crispy, juicy, and perfectly sauced. The bulgogi kimbap was delicious and super filling, and the japchae had that perfect balance of savory and sweet, with the nutty flavor from toasted sesame oil soaked right into the glass noodles. You can taste the freshness in the veggies and the marinated beef. If you love bulgogi, they've got that too. I've probably been here too many times... but I still can't stop thinking about trying the other wing flavors!

Kimchi Fried Rice w/ Spam & Egg
Jennifer K.

My boyfriend and I were craving Kimbap, and I'm glad we tried this place!! We got the 8 Pieces Korean Fried Chicken Wings in Korean Sweet & Spicy, 1 Roll of the Regular Bulgogi Kimbap, and the Kimchi Fried Rice w/ Spam & Egg. The Korean Fried Chicken Wings were really good! They were the perfect amount of sweet and spicy. The pickled radishes were great, but I've never had Korean Fried Chicken Wings with carrots and celery so I was surprised when I saw those. The Regular Bulgogi Kimbap was great! I loved the sauce it came with. The Kimchi Fried Rice w/ Spam & Egg was so good! It had lots of rice, kimchi, cubes of spam, and one over easy egg. The employees were so kind! They were patient while we were deciding what to order! They gave us paper plates and water cups. They also checked up on us a couple of times, making sure we were doing well and that the food was great. When we were leaving, they asked us if the food was good and thanked us for putting our trays and trash away. The restaurant is a Korean Fried Chicken spot inside Champ's Deli Restaurant. We were a bit confused when we looked at the big menu board, and it was the deli menu. The Geeko Chicken menu board was on the right of the counter, along with a menu stand. The restaurant / deli was empty. My boyfriend and I were the only people sitting and eating, and there were a few people getting their order to-go. There was plenty of seating, and it was very clean. I would come here again, and I would recommend this place to people! The food we had was super good, and I want to try other Korean Fried Chicken Wing flavors and their Topokki!!

This place has been on my list for a while, so when I was in the area, we finally gave it a try!…read moreThe food did not disappoint, but unfortunately, I'm giving it 3 stars due to the slow and disorganized service we experienced on a Sunday afternoon. We came as a party of 6 after the Long Beach Marathon, and it seemed like they were understaffed. My friend mentioned that she had received better service on a previous visit, so hopefully this was just an off day. Still, there were quite a few things that could have been handled better. They only gave us one set of banchan, which I thought was insufficient for a party of 6, especially since several of the dishes we ordered also came with banchan. We had to ask for water, and we finished our initial sides pretty quickly while waiting for our food. When we asked for refills, we had to follow up twice. One of the female servers came across as unfriendly and made us feel like we were bothering her when we asked for more banchan. She didn't even stop or look at us when she responded, "Give me a minute." The male server was friendlier, but overall, the service remained slow, even when we were trying to get our bill and check out. There were also some order mix-ups. We were served the wrong dishes twice, and my friend specifically requested no onions, but that was overlooked as well. Between the long wait, missed requests, and lack of attentiveness, the experience felt pretty disorganized. FOOD: - Rib Eye Bulgogi: came with rice and banchan. The presentation was pretty cool, with the meat served on a bed of salt that was lit on fire! It helped keep the food warm, although it did make moving the meat around a little tricky. The bulgogi itself was very tender and flavorful, and we really enjoyed it. - Pork Belly Tofu Soup: good, but I wish it had more tofu. Either there wasn't enough, or it had broken down into smaller pieces, because I was hoping for more substantial chunks. - Rose Tteokbokki: creamy and delicious; but it's definitely a dish meant for sharing Overall, we were satisfied with the food, and I thought the portions were fairly priced. Unfortunately, the slow, disorganized, and occasionally unfriendly service took away from the experience and makes me feel a little hesitant to return.

Dae Bak feels like a place you sit down and let the meal take its time…read more The menu is simple and comforting. Homey Korean staples, not giant menu chaos. The inside is clean and cozy: warm wood paneling, booth seating and an old-school Korean restaurant feel. Nothing flashy. It just feels comfortable. Service was good, but the pacing was slow. Banchan came out with the entrees instead of before, so the table sat empty for a bit. The entrees came out around 20 minutes in. The Korean pancake took closer to 30. The banchan spread was simple but fresh. Sesame broccoli. Marinated potato chunks. Kimchi. Pickled cucumbers. Lightly dressed mayo macaroni. Nothing wild, but everything tasted clean and did its job. The beef soondubu was solid. The jjigae was balanced and rich, with soft tofu and enough beef to make the bowl feel complete. It came out bubbling hot, ready for the raw egg to hit the broth and disappear into comfort. I got medium heat, but it ate pretty mild, so go higher if you want actual spice. The stone pot bibimbap was good, but I wanted more from it for the price. More vegetables, bigger bowl, more of that loaded bibimbap feeling. The sweet gochujang sauce had good flavor, but barely any heat. Good bowl. A little restrained. The Korean pancake was the all-kill of the meal. No lip sync. Fried beautifully. Crisp edges. Good chew. Green onion, onion and zucchini in every bite. The batter had a hint of caramelized fried egg flavor, which made it taste richer. Dip it in the sauce for that salty, savory lift. Bite it with kimchi and the whole thing wakes up: crisp, rich, tangy, gone. It showed up last and still became the reason to come back. They also have a seafood version, which is dangerous information to learn after the pancake already won the meal. Parking was easy during lunch, with plenty of spaces in the strip mall lot. But with an AYCE restaurant in the same plaza, weekends or busier dinner hours might be a different story. Great food quality, cozy space and the kind of meal that asks you to slow down whether you planned to or not. The pacing was slow, but the food had enough care behind it to keep the meal worth it. Come hungry, but not in a hurry. And get the pancake.

It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

Is the tteokbokki in the combo supposed to be smaller than the normal one? The portion was comical, filling up maybe 1/3 of the giant white bowl. There were hardly any toppings on there. The cheese was literally a strip. I know this place isn't Yupddeok but they do a whole swirl on the bowl there. Yikes. And the chicken was... mediocre at best. Very anorexic chicken. And they wanted to charge an extra $2 for sauce. Yeah, we left hungry and unhappy. My sister talked about getting McDonald's on the way home. My husband said we should've gone to Chili's. Next time, we'll make the drive to Yukddeok for tteokbokki. Service was good though, our server was very sweet. I wish I got his name but he was working the evening shift and had black hair and a black t-shirt with Gengar on it. He's the only reason the review got two stars instead of one.

We tried this one in Long Beach, it was…read moredisappointing as the place appeared to be busy but the cars parked in front were some other customer cars for the nearby business. The parking is hard since it's in the area of Long Beach with lots of condos, so you are fighting to find a place. Once we got inside we noticed it was empty, not a soul in sight except the cashier. We ordered a hainan chicken and a bowl of chicken noodle with ground noodle (sub egg noodle). They only offered dark meat or ground chicken, kind of sad as a chicken place. The broth was not rich and the chicken on the drier side. The pieces did not look like it came from the same chicken (usually it'll form the shape of whatever they cut up, but presentation was not their strong suit). The sauces for the hainan was on the saltier side and not as good as other places. The rice... Did they not throw in broth for it to cook? I did not taste much chicken flavor. The noodles, it's intended to be on the blander side, that's fine. The noodle though... It was as if they could've cooked a bit longer, they seemed to stick together and was not quite al dente so I stirred them around for about a minute to break it apart. Ground chicken, nothing special to season it with, at least it did not have chicken stench. Lastly, the door was left open, the amount of flies coming in was a lot. It was off putting. The neighborhood does not appear friendly or safe as the front door was boarded up. Also a sign saying there is no cash here (implying lots of robberies/burglers). I don't like giving low ratings, but the reviews for this place weren't... Convinencing.
