Remodeled
Gelin Cara T.

This place is tucked away in the corner of a very small strip mall, but it is quite the gem. The food coming out is definitely not what I expected from a place in this location. I can see parking getting crowded if all businesses around were busy. Food - SO GOOD. Regular chicken bowl with broccoli and white rice - First off, I like that they serve the chicken naked and sauce on side. That way, you can control your amount of sauce. Their sauce is homemade and delicious! It compliments the super tender chicken. It wasn't dry at all. I also think this is the ONLY chicken bowl I've ever had that had a larger chicken-to-rice ratio! More protein! Their side of mac salad is delicious as well! It's not drenched in mayo and has just the right amount of bite to it. I can tell the macaroni wasn't overcooked and soft. Ambiance - When coming in, the lady at the front was taking call-in orders left and right. So that may be the key to it. But they were all very friendly. I definitely recommend this place and will be making it a regular go-to spot for when I need to get takeout for lunch during work.

Delicious, quick, and healthy! Service is very friendly and I can tell they have many regulars. You order at the front and food is ready in 5-10 minutes. You can also order ahead which I noticed many patrons did. I ordered a regular chicken bowl and made it spicy and added Asian slaw on top. This is such a good weekday meal if you're unable to cook and want something nourishing. The regular was massive and I saved half for later. I will be back to try their other options!

Favorite little chicken bowl place! It's a small business, but they are great at what they do. I frequent this place typically on my lunch break from work and have never been disappointed. The portions are reasonable and fairly priced. My favorite would have to be the spicy chicken bowl and white rice combo. The chicken is never greasy or fatty and the spice is a medium level heat (and i'm not great with spicy) so I think this is a good amount of heat. The kimchi is also worth trying it is some of my favorite. I prefer this place over bigger names in the chicken bowl game, and I think so will you. Must try!

(+) Spicy chicken bowl The chicken bowl is a casual, hole in the wall, fast food restaurant that specializes in chicken with an asian fusion twist such as yakisoba and korean tacos. If you're in the mood for chicken and rice, this is the place to be. Food: I ordered the spicy chicken bowl, which came with just marinaded chicken on a bed of rice. The chicken itself wasn't too spicy or overly flavorful. The dark meat chicken is very lean and there is no fat or skin attached to any of the pieces I ate. Service: My bowl came out in about 5-7 minutes and it was steaming hot. The owner I believe was kind and easy to talk to. I would say I haven't had the full experience of the menu, but I will definitely be back when I am in the area. My initial impression is great, and tasted great enough to eventually ease my way into the chicken bowl again.

Quick service and solid food. A good option in the area for a lunch pickup spot. The side dishes do not have a lot of flavor and I found the mac salad to be pretty bland. Spicy chicken was pretty good!

An affordable and healthy meal choice in the Montebello area. There's actually a lot of chicken teriyaki places around the area, but I find what makes them distinct is the freshness of the ingredients and the affordability of the meals with the portions that you get with it. Although I usually don't consider chicken+rice a cheat meal, but the food here makes me feel like I'm actually eating clean. Yay for eating and feeling healthy! The place was remodeled from the first time I visited back in 2017 and it can seat around 6 people inside. Unfortunately, no public restroom for customers though! || L O C A T I O N || -located on the corner of Washington Blvd. & S.Montebello Blvd. -Same plaza as 7 Eleven and next to Doughnut Makers. -Parking lot is quite small and the spaces are quite tiny. It may be difficult to find parking during peak hours. || F O O D || Chicken Bowl ($ 5.48+$0.50 for veggies = $5.98) I was surprised with how much chicken was packed in the bowl, and I liked how healthy it tasted. Barely any taste of grease and chicken was tender. Price is really good for what you get. Chicken & Beef Plate ($10.96) - Comes with a choice of 2 sides (macaroni salad, kimchi, steamed veggies, miso soup, or green salad). The chicken was great, but what blew me away was the beef. Don't judge the beef by its appearance, but it's actually not bland at all. It's very flavorful but doesn't taste like it was dunked in heavy seasonings or sauces as I would usually find in most bulgogi. It wasn't overly salty or sweet and was just the perfect amount of seasoning. After trying the beef, I would definitely like to try the tacos for my next visit!

Half and half bowl. Super good

My mom and I initially found this place by accident. I wanted to take my mom out for dinner for…read moremother's day. Went to Boston Lobster and found out that it was crowded at 6:00pm. So I went into my trusty Yelp and found this place. Going here was a great decision because we have been good customers ever since. PARKING: It has never been an issue to park here because if the above ground level parking is all taken, there is underground parking with a good amount of parking spots. WHAT WE ORDERED: As you can see from my pictures, my mom, g/f and I have ordered a lot of different things on the menu. Some of them are no longer on the menu, but wished they would have kept it. Some of the hits include: - Bossam with the pork belly (putting in the spicy radish, baby shrimp and garlic are a must!) - Any of their soups (the kalbi tahng and soon dae soup (soon dae only for me because the other pig parts are a bit too chewy) - their cold buckwheat noodles. On a hot day they put some soup flavored slush so keep the dish cold. - their soft tofu soup (soon doo boo). You can't go wrong with the various flavors that they offer. - Their pork neck soup - With winter fast approaching (hopefully because of this stupid Super Duper Extraordinary El Nino What I also really like is the fact that they have items that are good/catered to both summer and winter, so despite it being a blood sausage place (soon dae), they have other things on the menu that are quite good! VERDICT: As previously mentioned, my mom, g/f and I have been good customers of this place and will continue to go here. The family that runs this place are awesome. The wait staff are nice and attentive and the food are a chef's kiss! SIDE NOTE: Another great thing about this place is the fact that there are a great number of places down the street that you can go to for dessert: Paris Baguette, Old Ferry Donut and Bopo. So whether you are on a date or with a group of friends, there are options for an awesome 2-cha.

The interior was clean and spacious, with a laid-back ambiance that made for a relaxed dining experience. Our meal kicked off with an assortment of banchan that was incredibly fresh and easily among the best I've had. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We had to flag down the staff a couple of times, and toward the end of our visit, our bill was carelessly tossed onto the table, which felt rather dismissive. **Kimchi Tofu Soup: 5/5** Bubbling hot upon arrival, the soondubu was hearty and deeply comforting from start to finish. The broth was bold and savory, with the kimchi contributing a sharp, fermented sourness. Silky soft tofu and thinly sliced beef were both generously portioned throughout. Served in a stone pot, the rice developed a scorched layer at the bottom with a distinctly toasted flavor and satisfying crunch. A word of caution: the highest spice level packs some serious heat that builds quickly, though I still thoroughly enjoyed the intensity. **Bulgogi: 4/5** Grilled to perfection, the bulgogi was tender and juicy, with a pronounced umami depth complemented by a light, nutty aroma. Its sweetness, however, was a tad overpowering for my preference. **Spicy Pork: 5/5** Succulent pieces of pork were stir-fried in a gochujang-based marinade, with a sweet heat that lingered pleasantly on the palate. On the sizzling platter, the edges caramelized beautifully, imparting a subtle smoky char that added complexity and richness to the dish. **Bibim Naengmyeon: 4/5** Cold and refreshing, the bibim naengmyeon featured bouncy, chewy buckwheat noodles generously coated in a sweet and tangy chili sauce, topped with sliced daikon and cucumber for a crisp textural contrast. My only minor complaint was that the noodles weren't cut, making them somewhat difficult to eat. Despite some issues with hospitality, the quality of the food more than made up for it. A Ri Rang Tofu House has definitely earned a spot in my rotation whenever I'm craving a soothing bowl of soondubu.

I had a good experience at Don Katsu (Montebello). I ordered the Seafood Katsu Lunchbox ($18.97)…read more It includes three breaded jumbo shrimp, two breaded fish filets, rice, macaroni salad, salad, and tartar sauce. It's A LOT of food!! I had plenty of leftovers! (Quick Note: This business is located inside the Montebello's Mall Food Court. It's a food stall.) I arrived at Don Katsu (Montebello) on a weekday. Parking is very easy. Since it's located in the mall's food hall, it's near an enormous parking lot. Staff is professional, friendly, and diligent. Staff (receipt says Bere) worked hard. The food was cooked to order, and the food took about 10 minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Seafood Katsu Lunchbox ($18.97). This meal can easily feed two people. I especially LOVE how the meal was breaded and fried perfectly. The breading was crisp, flaky, and fresh. The meal also had wonderful good quality, thick shrimp. TASTY!! However, the fried fish filets were lackluster, the fish came hot and a bit mushy. It tasted like the generic warmed up pre-frozen filets from Trader Joe's. The rice came lukewarm, but I appreciated how the salad tasted fresh and clean. The macaroni also had a pleasant light tang. Although I wouldn't reorder this meal, it's a satisfying budget meal. On ambiance, Don Katsu (Montebello) is unmemorable since it's a food court. However, the location felt clean and well tended. Also, I appreciate how this stall is near a cylinder with electrical plug outlets and the mall's restroom area. I felt safe as I ate. Overall, Don Katsu (Montebello) is a wonderful destination for hungry customers on a budget. The food is HUGE, and there's effort in the meals. Although the ingredients didn't feel the freshest, it's still a clean & satisfying choice. If hungry and nearby, I happily recommend. 4.6 out of 5

As for the food, the chicken and pork katsu were both breaded nicely and the meat was tender and not too dry. I did wish they used the regular "brown katsu" sauce that you might get at other restaurants (such as ono-hawaiian bbq). I didn't really like the two sauces they gave you cuz I felt they were too creamy for the meal. The macaroni salad was also more on the sour side. I think the meal requires something sour or acidic to cut up the heaviness, but I think that's what the kimchi and pickled jalapenos are for. I would prefer the macaroni salad to be less sour. Overall I think it's good value for the price but I don't think the flavors are for my taste.
