The cashier named Brandon, a young Korean guy, was one of the worst restaurant employees I have…read moreever encountered. He showed a very irritated attitude toward both me and the customer after me. Whenever I said anything, even though he clearly understood, he would just respond with "I'm sorry" in an annoyed tone and expression. Cashiers are not just there to process payments, they represent the face of the business. I strongly believe that customer service should always be the number one priority for any restaurant. I honestly don't understand how or why he was hired, or why he continues to work there if he clearly does not want to. If he is working there simply because he is related to the owner, that would make the situation even worse. I truly hope the owner of this business reads this review.

Want to first say, I LOVE THE LIGHTING! I'm a big lighting freak when it comes to eating out, and…read moremay I say... THIS. WAS. PERFECT! I went here with close friends and got 2 orders of a combo meal to split amongst the four of us. It came out to a pretty good amount of food and we were all pretty stuffed by the end of it! (I eat a lot too) The service was very sweet too, and our server gave us room to eat, and didn't come by too too often. I appreciated that. Great place, great lighting, will come again!

Food here was very good. We ordered a sampler of their many different flavored pork belly. They had…read moreso many flavors I'd never heard of like wine, miso, herbs, etc. My personal favorites were the herb and ginseng! We also got a kimchi stew which the owner himself recommended to help cut out the grease. The vibes in the restaraunt are very low, lights low and not super loud music. Sometimes I get super overwhelmed at bbq places because of how loud everything is, but not here. The owner came and cooked everything for us and even gave us the history behind why they do what they do. You can tell the couple that owns this place is very prideful if their meat quality.

I ordered the soon dubu soup and Galbi combo. The Galbi was 2 strips of LA cut shortibs. The meat was very fatty, chewy, and it tasted like it was bottled marinade. The dubu soup was nicely prepared. Not sure if this was an off day for food. I'd be glad to go try it again. Service was friendly and welcoming

Came here recently and noticed they upgraded their menus from the typical placemat printouts to…read morephysical menus. It also seemed to include some new items, or at least ones that weren't printed out on the placemats. We've previously tried their cold noodles, galbi, hot stone bimbimbap, tofu soup and seafood pancake. All are pretty good but the cold noodle is our favorite. This time we ordered their fishcake kimbap and the cold noodle and galbi combo. I previously saw photos of their kimbap but didn't see it on their menu until now so I was excited to try it. It comes with 20-24 pieces and a side of soup, quite a lot actually for one person. The kimbap was as expected, it was flavorful, had a slight crunch (from the pickled radish) and didn't fall apart easily while eating. It comes with a dipping sauce but it wasn't particularly noteworthy and I didn't feel it is required to use. The cold noodles were a bit different this time but overall had the same flavor. It comes with half an egg, pickled vegetables, slices of cucumber, and slices of meat in an icy broth with buckwheat noodles. Be sure to add the mustard and vinegar for added flavor. The side of galbi was as expected, but doesn't arrive sizzling like at many other Korean restaurants. The flavor can vary, sometimes more flavorful than other times but overall it still pairs well with the cold noodle. Service can be a bit spotty, especially when they only have one server doing everything. It can be hard to flag someone down so be prepared to sit around for a while if they have less staff and many customers. Overall not a dealbreaker but just something to be aware of.

My boyfriend and I stopped by for lunch for some Korean fried chicken on a Saturday…read more Service was good, the food took a bit of a wait but our wings came out piping hot and delicious. This place did not disappoint! We ordered an 8pc original wing with sauces on the side (yang neom & garlic habanero). The original crispy wings were so delicious; the breading was crunchy, savory, and most of all, not salty. I hate getting wings at kfc or jolibee because I feel super thirsty after eating. I didn't feel that way after my meal here. I would come back maybe in the evening for soju/beer and chicken!

Seems a little messy to me, but we still ordered from here because well we drove over here specifically because we wanted Korean food today and because we want to give them a try. 3 Stars for the level of cleanliness inside their restaurant. I hope they've hired more help and gotten better at this. - 4 stars for their fried chicken. The only thing we didn't like is that every time we ate here and ordered their fried chicken we felt great eating it but then had a weird tummy ache afterwards and lots of burping. But the chicken tasted so good! I don't think I'd go back again just on the two points alone, but my husband said he'd give it another try. So try it at your own risk. You may have a different experience than we did. This place used to be a Korean bbq spot - I miss that place!

Orange Tokki is a place located in the Mitsuwa Marketplace at the Del Amo Mall…read more I have been there numerous times, but on a recent trip, I found Orange Tokki, which offers Korean hot dogs. And Korean corn dogs. I love Korean corn dogs. They were kind of a rage for a little bit - but, in recent years, I have not been able to find them as quickly. You could order meat, or cheese, or combination, and you could also have it with potato breading around it. Once they give it to you, you can put ketchup or mustard or sugar crystals as toppings. When I took the first bite, it was crunchy and cheesy, because I ordered the mix with the cheese. So delicious. They give you a beeper so that when you're waiting, you can go browse other things.

I thought the bossam combo was definitely worth the money for the pricing and amount of food. Bossam - 100/5, WOW the meat is so tender and flavorful! The cuts are meaty and the sides to eat the boiled pork belly with are incredible. Amazing ssamjang and I loved the salted Napa wrap with raw garlic, jalapeño, and kimchi radish. Don't miss out on the saeu-jeot (fermented shrimp) sauce for a salty and umami packed bite! Tofu soup - 4/5, the fatty pork pieces and zucchini make this such a filling and sweet soup. I really enjoyed the tenderness of the meat pieces. Doenjang - 3/5, tasty but a little too funky for my personal tastes. Bibimbap & veg - 4/5, I didn't realize this was a no rice option and has a shredded cabbage substitute. Still delicious, but wish there were more sesame oil. I ended up mixing in one of the rice servings we got and it was perfect!

Only saw Korean people in there. I've never tried it before, but since it was summer, I got the kongguksu. Wile it's a cold dish, it's so heavy. I don't particularly understand why this is a summer dish other than it being cold. Very rich, very thick. Definitely not something you want to eat yourself. I believe you get salt on the side if you want it saltier. Get the bossam. It was so good, and the portion was huge. Meat was tender. The kimchi was super fresh. Braised fish was great. I don't remember which fish I got, but the flavor was perfect. Not too spicy and very clean. Don't skip out on this restaurant or the Korean restaurants in Gardena in general.

Skip the Shacho Ramen and go for the pork rice bowl! ​The Breakdown ​Service & Speed: 5/5. I ordered within 5 minutes and the food arrived in 10. The manager lady is amazing, charismatic, and highly memorable. They're full service, they packed my leftovers. ​The Highlight (Pork Rice Bowl): Generous portion of rice and incredibly tender pork. Mixing in the egg and mayo made the dish, became the highlight of my meal. ​The Perks: Their menu is simple and straightforward, and adding extra toppings to your ramen is actually relatively inexpensive. ​The Disappointment (Shacho Ramen): This was my first meal here without fried chicken, and the Shacho Ramen unfortunately fell flat. It completely lacked the complexity and depth I was looking for. The Broth: Had the rich, heavy sesame creaminess I demanded, but it was incredibly one-note outside of that. The Spice: Level 2 had no heat at all. I asked for a side of extra spice, which helped a bit, but didn't save the dish. The Noodles: Very bland.Ended up packing most of it away ​Verdict: Come for the great service, cheap add-ons, and excellent rice bowls, but pass on the Shacho Ramen.
