Okay service is great. It's the first time I've been to a restaurant where I don't need to ask for refills of water because the lady kept replacing our carafe! Thank you for that! It "looks like a typical burger joint inside with Booths. There's a side door for to go orders. Food service was quick and the portions are big. For their price, I would hope so. We ordered the following: Bulgolgi Fries Garlic Steak Noodle Egg Cheese corn Ranking in best to so-so, I'd have to say is the steamed egg. Yes, I was surprised too. I thought the Bulgolgi fries would be number one. Sadly it's not. If you mess up steamed egg, ima gonna say no to the rest of your menu. I would order two next time and just stick to that. The cheese corn was okay, but compared to PaDak and other local Korean spot I say skip this. The cheese tasted weird to me and I did t like that it was also a kraft American cheese. As a cheese lover, I only expect that square cheese to be on a burger or cheese melt. The Bulgolgi Fries could serve 3 people. But it was drenched with sauce, and spicy sauce. Not enough Bulgolgi to pay $20. The cut of fries were this nd tasted like sweet potato. It just didn't fit my taste buds. The Garlic noodle okay. That's Al I have to say about that. I'm glad I finally tried this place, but I don't know if I would come back for anything on their menu. I would rather go next door or across the street. read more

This place is as good as I remember it. We got the Combo A with spice level 2, which is halfway between buldak 1 and x2. The portion size is huge, so don't go ordering more food if there are only two of you. The music was blaring and they played my favorite songs, but it was between lunch and dinner so it was unnecessarily loud with just the two of us in the restaurant. Check this place out when you get the chance. I bet it gets really packed at night! read more

Great pocha-type establishment! This place definitely gives off a fast casual vibe with quick service and upbeat music. It's great for any occasion and open late so it can be good for food after late night events. We got the katsu and army stew and both were great! The katsu was huge! Super crispy and great with the includes curry and katsu sauce. The army stew had a good combination of ingredients and was good for the cold weather. Recommend to those in the area looking for a late night comfort bite! read more

Came here late after a concert in LA with a group of friends. The venue has a great party ambiance with the lighting and electronic music. I felt like I was ready to party again. The service was fast and to the point. Set A Combo (LD + Tempura Rice Balls) - The rice balls were pretty underwhelming because it had a neutral flavor. Set C Combo (Katsu + LuvDDuk) - I am a fan of their thin katsu. It was well seasoned and had the perfect crunch and crispiness to it. read more

The best thing was probably the fried chicken!! The picture on the menu showed pickled veggies which we didn't get /: I also didn't like the ranch with the chicken but it's ok, don't have to use it The service was really good too! Always on top of refilling the water so that was nice. The space is actually quite small and it was busy on a Friday night! Probably waited 20-40 minutes to be seated! read more

Came here for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away which was surprising to me because I've always heard that this place is poppin' but maybe that's later in the day/night. We got the bulgogi fries, the rice cakes, the cheese corn & the chicken katsu. The portions here are huge so I wish we would've came with more people. Its also not as big as I thought it would be here. Shared parking lot with the plaza but I dont think parking should be an issue. read more

This is a great late night spot if you are craving Korean comfort food, especially tteokbokki. Parking: The restaurant is in a shopping plaza with plenty of free parking. If you're coming here at night, the adjacent businesses are also open late so it feels pretty safe. Food: We ordered the Combo A, which comes with tteokbokki, tempura, and rice balls. It was a good value for two people, with generous portions that left us full and leftovers to take home. The tteokbokki was flavorful, the tempura was crispy, and the rice balls paired well with the spicy sauce. Overall, the food was solid. Service: The staff checked in on us regularly and were nice. One thing I really appreciated is that they are open late, which makes this a great option when many other places are already closed. This is definitely a place I would come back to when the craving for Korean street food hits. read more

Luv Dduk is a cheese-lovers' heaven, and a must-try spot for large groups! They offer cost-effective set menus with satisfying, generous portions that are perfect for sharing. We loved the army ramen soup paired with rice balls, and the tteokbokki set (with ramen noodles) that comes with a whole fried chicken, served with a variety of delicious sauces like soy garlic & sweet n spicy. It is crispy, juicy, and seriously addictive! Their bulgogi fries were so savory and smothered with melted cheese. Everything felt hearty and comforting, making it an ideal place for hangouts or when you're just craving something cheesy and filling! read more

Omg how have I not written a review for this spot?! I always see it on social media & am glad I finally made the trip to check it out. We came for lunch on a Saturday and I was worried that it would be packed but thankfully we got seated right away. Its not as big as I thought it would be but the tables were meant for large groups of about 4-6 people I'd say. I came for 2 things and left with more lol. The cheese corn is probably one of the best i've ever had. The rice cakes were amazing!! The bulgogi fries were okay and the chicken katsu was huge but also just okay. I'd definitely come back with some friends though. Its a little pricier then norm BUT the portions are huge and definitely shareable. read more

I recall being absolutely stuffed after coming here for the first time. I had seen so many TikTok's of this place and I was so excited to come here to try it! I was not disappointed at all. The chicken katsu is so massive and delicious, all crunchy goodness with an amazing side of curry and tonkatsu sauce. The tteokbokki had a nice spicy kick to it and it's perfect paired with the cheese. And the garlic noodles were so garlicky and I love all the onions in them. The lady who took our order was super sweet and the vibe is really nice! They play a lot of K-pop music, which I enjoyed. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy giant portions of food. Expect to take it home with you! read more

Luv duk People say this place has the best viral Korean pub food. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. I got their corn cheese, boneless cheesling chicken, bulgolgi garlic noodles, and katsu to try. The corn cheese was on the sweeter end, super gooey and cheesy with pops of juicy corn. It was a bit mayoy tho. The boneless cheesling chicken pieces were pretty big, juicy, really crunchy, and was coated in a slightly sweet seasoning that kinda reminded me of the ones you can get on your fries at the mall ya know? The bulgolgi noodles came with some broccoli and onions, and plenty of sweet, tender meat that was perfectly balanced by savory, garlicy, springy noodles. Pure deliciousity. The katsu came with TWO MASSIVE pieces that were legit bigger than my head and were amazingly crispity crunchy, surprisingly juicy, and paired well with the curries that it came with. The yellower one tasted more like your savory classic curry while the brown one tasted kinda like a mix of curry and ketchup? People are nice, Portions are massive, everything is super crispity crunchy. Overall This place is pretty good. Corn cheese $15.99 Cheesling boneless chicken $21.99 Garlic bulgolgi noodles $19.99 Katsu $25.99 read more

Luv Dduk is hands down one of the best spots for late-night eats in the area. It's my go-to place whenever I'm craving tteokbokki, and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, comforting, and exactly what you want, especially late at night. I also really love their fried chicken--it's crispy, well-seasoned, and pairs perfectly with the rest of the menu. Everything feels indulgent in the best way. I also have a lot of appreciation for them staying open for pickup during COVID. That reliability and consistent service really mattered, and it solidified this place as a true staple for me. read more

Hate to admit it but TikTok was right. This viral place did not disappoint. Luv Dduk is one of the most popular Korean pub restaurants that will always have a crowd of people waiting outside the door. Pro tip: Come between 4-6PM and you can usually get seated right away! We got the combo set B which comes with a ginormous serve of army ramen soup that has sausage, rice cakes, ramen, even cheese, and will feed 3-4 people easy, and rice balls. And what's Korean pub food without kimchi fried rice and stretchy cheesy goodness like jiggly steamed egg topped with cheese? The sweet & spicy chicken wings were definitely the star of the show though, we could not stop talking about how this was our new favorite Korean fried chicken. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Luv Dduk seriously delivers on both flavor and portion size. The army stew literally felt like it was made for an army because the serving was massive Perfect for sharing and loaded with ingredients. The spicy chicken was insanely cheesy and flavorful, and the tteokbokki had the perfect chewy texture. Every dish had that comforting Korean flavor that makes you keep eating even when you're full. The food came out hot and fresh, and the portions were honestly so generous for the price. Definitely a spot I'd come back to with friends or family! read more

First time here and throughly enjoyed it. It was busy for a Wednesday night but service was friendly and fast. You should definitely come here with a group because the portions are huge!

The place is bigger than it looks and it has an almost bar like vibe without the bar part. It was probably the choice of music and lights that gives it those vibes but it was nice nonetheless. The service was the best it could be for a busy evening and if it wasn't for the good company the wait might have felt much more than it was. The food was delicious but I couldn't help but feel like they could have added more cheese. But maybe that's just me cause I like my rice cakes cheesy. I also could have added more cheese but I don't think it would have been worth the $5. Adding the ramen noodle however is definitely a must. It for sure enhanced the meal. I suggest pregaming with your own bottle of soju, it'll save you money for sure. read more

When there's a restaurant that you drive by all the time and have always wanted to try it but never do, until the time you finally get to and that's when you realize, you've been missing out. Luv Dduk has been here for quite some time and just recently got to try their food. My son who's been here before was my dinner companion and we decided to go with the combo tteokbokki and Chicken Cutlet and added the two beef ribs. What a lot of food. The teokbokki was cooked perfectly. The beef ribs were super tender and the gigantic chicken cutlet. Everything was perfectly cooked. read more

I loved almost everything we ordered! The fries were surprisingly crispy and crunchy even after over an hour! Usually fries get soggy and gross, but these were great! Crunchy fried chicken skin was so good, and I love that they have the sauce on the side. The tteokbokki was yummy! I do wish there were more corn dogs. Good, spicy flavor throughout! The corn cheese was good, but there was a curry flavor I wasn't used to. It was sort of odd but still yummy to me! Space is clean and lively and the service was quick! Everyone was friendly.

was craving korean food and Luv-Dduk delivered with really tasty, lightly breaded, crispy Korean chicken wings! they were served very hot and fresh. the garlic sauce is delicious. these wings were perfectly crunchy and not too heavily braised. also served with a side of ranch. tried the spicy chicken dish as well, considering its popularity! it is served with tteokbokki and veggies on a skillet. also served extremely hot and fresh. both dishes were enough for the two of us to leave super stuffed and satisfied. service was very friendly and attentive. this spot is open late and features happy hour specials. the music on a tuesday evening ranged from house to techno, but there's definitely an EDM vibe here. read more

Went to Luv Dduk and ordered the Luv Dduk tteokbokki and the Fried Boneless Chicken with sweet & spicy sauce. The tteokbokki was okay, but a bit disappointing for the price of $27. It was mostly rice cakes and cabbage, and I was expecting more of the other toppings to make it a more substantial dish. The 2 mini corn dogs just tasted like a microwave corn dog, it would've been nicer if it was air fried or baked to be crispy. Also, the cheese was just sitting in a single lump in the bowl, rather than drizzled over the tteokbokki like in their menu photos. The flavor was decent, but the lack of variety made it feel a little one-note and it got tiring to eat after the first few bites. The fried boneless chicken was good, and the sweet and spicy sauce was a nice break from the flavor of the tteokbokki. However, the chicken itself was more of a fried chicken cutlet shape than the tenders or nuggets shown on the menu, which was a little misleading. It was tasty, but nothing that really stood out from other Korean fried chicken spots. I'm not sure if the value is quite there for the price. Our total came out to be $57 before tax and tip. We definitely had more than enough food, with leftovers to take home, but most of it was rice cakes. I also feel like you have to order multiple dishes besides the tteokbokki because eating it on its own gets tiring quickly. If you're in the area late and craving tteokbokki, it's worth a try but I prefer Yup Dduk in Ktown. read more

Came on a Sunday evening. Encountered limited parking near the building but found some off the side. We were seated right when we arrived with no wait time. There was plenty of seating inside (booth style seats). Not really stroller friendly but luckily ours folded away. We ordered the bulgogi cheese fries and the luv dduk with extra mozzarella and ramen noodles. We received our order within 10-15 mins and enjoyed both dishes. The bulgogi fries had a great ratio of cheese, I wish there was more bulgogi but overall, good. The luv dduk was delicious. I will say, if you don't do well with spicy food, the level one will still be too spicy for you. Great service from the staff also, very helpful and friendly. read more

My friend and I were looking for a place close to the Cerritos Center for a quick dinner. We found this place and went on over. We ordered the orange dumplings and the bulgogi garlic noodles. The dumplings were just OK. I probably wouldn't order them again (they lacked any real flavor). But the bulgogi garlic noodles were SO GOOD that we ordered one more plate of it. The meat was so so tender and delicious. The noodles were perfect and the garlic was just the right amount, not overpowering. The service was quick and good. They also had some loudish music playing that actually wasn't too bad...it gave the place a kind of "cool vibe". We look forward to coming back and trying more dishes. read more

I was excited to try Luv Dduk because I always pass by it and saw it going viral on TikTok. The service was good and the restaurant was clean with plenty of places to sit. I thought the tteokbokki was okay but not amazing. It felt kind of dry because there wasn't a lot of sauce. It just felt kind of underwhelming because there wasn't much to it. My expectations were high because of what I've seen online, but it kind of fell short for me. read more

Great service! Pretty high prices but honestly every plate is good for at least 3 ppl! Every dish is huge portions so you'll have leftovers. The chicken katsu is perfectly crispy & juicy chicken. The garlic noodles are delish!! Hubby doesn't even like noodles but he loves the bulgogi garlic noodles. The seafood noodles are my fav! Just enough shrimp, musles and noodles. Do know that the shrimps aren't peeled. The luv dukk is so huge!!! We got with short ribs and it was all delish. The sweet and spicy wings are boneless. Very sticky sauce which is awesome. Do note this as a lil too sweet for my taste but perfect spicy flavor. Note that u must put your name on the yelp waitlist in order to be seated. Overall great food, service!!!

After seeing this place on my IG feed many times, I've decided to finally give this place a try plus I was in the area. My bf and I got the Giant Katsu and Tteokbokki Combo because the combo seem more worth than ordering separately. The portion of sizes are very generous, enough to share 2-3 people. The Katsu was really crispy and it was huge. The tteokbokki was my favorite, it was chewy and soft. The regular spice was a little spicy for me but I was able to enjoyed the food. We had leftovers at the end and were really full. read more

Their rice cakes are perfectly chewy, and the sauce strikes a great balance between spicy, sweet, and savory. Portions are generous and meant for sharing, making it a fun place to eat with friends. The menu offers nice variety, from classic tteokbokki to add-ons like fish cakes, ramen, and cheese that elevate the experience.

5 out of 5. Food was plentiful and tasty. Super HOT when served so be cautious with kids. The services was fast and top notch. Store was clean all around. Bathroom was also fresh smelling and clean. You want take out? There is a walk up window to the side of the building. It was a neat idea. Lastly, I almost forgot the disco rave music!

I feel so so about Luv Dduk after today. The servers were AMAZING and checked on us every so often. I think that improved. The food was okay. I've been here around COVID when the tents were outside and food slapped so good then. The service was so so then. So, I feel like it flipped. I noticed there were less food items and no lunch items.

Saw this place on Insta so I had to try it while in the area. It's a bit of a hidden gem. Parking is difficult to find. I had to park beside the Filipino restaurant. The sign at the door said to wait outside to be seated. Strange. I went in at least to make sure they know I'm here. There were plenty of open tables so we were seated right away. It took awhile for the waitress to get our order. She was very nice though. Once she took our order, she checked on us often. She offered to cut our giant chichen katsu too! Their prices were high but now I know why. Their portions are giant. It's big enough to eat 4 people. I brought my 14 year old son who eats for 2 people and we still had left overs! First, I got the sausage and rice cakes. It wasn't anything special. I would skip that one next time. The steam egg was runny. I didn't care for the small slice of Kraft cheese on top but the cheese inside the egg was good. Finally, we got the giant katsu chicken. I'm glad I got this. The chicken was well breaded. The crispy was perfection. I liked the side curry and katsu sauce. I wished they had more of the curry though. It wasn't enough for the giant chicken. I would definitely get this again! read more

Haven't been here in a few years! So excited to be back! Parking: Free parking lot. There's a very small plaza, so finding a spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They still have a small indoor space with a good amount of indoor seating and no outdoor seating. All booths accommodate large groups. Always loved the vibe here. We visited right before their dinner rush at 18:30-19:00. Service: Shout out to Yoon and all the other servers for being attentive, quick, & efficient! If there's a wait, join the waitlist via the tablet outside. There was no wait when we visited, so a worker seated us immediately. Foods & drinks: 1) Large Katsu Chicken, Curry, & Rice + Tteokbokki - This was part of one of their combos. Their large Katsu chicken blew up on socials, so of course I had to try it. This was definitely large and extra crissspppyyy. The curry paired well with the Katsu. The Tteokbokki is as I remembered! It was spicy and fulfilling. LOTS of rice cakes, fish cakes, sausages, corn dogs, & cabbages. 2) Bulgogi Garlic Fries - Exactly what it sounds like. Bulgogi and garlic fries. This was huge! There was a generous amount of bulgogi and cheese. The fries were cooked well. Though the garlic taste was overpowered by cheese and bulgogi. 3) Yogurt Soju - Happy hour BOGO free any soju or beer! Perfect drink to go along with these comfort foods! 4) Limade and Pineapple Juice - These were refreshing and citrusy! Pricing: EVERYTHING is shareable at least between 2-4 people! Definitely worth its price! read more
