Chon Dak

Amazing chicken. $20 happy hour chicken & soju or beer deal is the real deal. 4 pm - 7 pm. Wow.

Limited seating inside with only booth available.

I used to love this place since when they were Country kko kko. I would say their food got even better!

To be honest, when they first expanded to Chon Dak, I wondered if the main chef has been changed because all the food tasted different (actually it was bad). However, I think the main chef came back recently because the flavor is as good as the first time; or even better as I mentioned.

I got Jjim dak (soy sauce braised chicken) and dak bal (spicy chicken feet) for the dinner. The jjim dak is super tender and juicy with such flavorful sauce! If you end up having some left over, you should make fried rice using the sauce.

Dak bal comes with some rice which you can make rice balls. The chicken feet is suuuuper spicy so BE AWARE! I would say it was the best dak bal I had throughout entire LA korean restaurants. Believe me. It was the best.

I would definitely get these two combo sometime soon.

Hope this place gets through these hard times.

This restaurant used to be located elsewhere in a small, run down building under a different name. It was dark, and only two people worked at the restaurant (when I was there). They were busy, so the service was very slow. But once the wings came out and we felt the perfect crunch, we didn't care about the service.

Good news, Chon Dak is a very big restaurant with adequate staffing! On top of that, the food has remained AMAZING! We ordered the grilled corn cheese, spicy ramen and rice cakes, the house specialty chicken, a split order of the plain wings (yum!) and the miss garlic wings (double yum!), and a kimchi pancake. The pancake was spicy, tangy, and everything you'd want.

I'm trying to think of reasons to be near this restaurant so I have to stop in. Do yourself a favor and just come in.
