Absolutely love BTC! Their bulgogi burrito is delicious, especially with kimchi added. Finally tried the drumsticks, and they were amazing. Highly recommend checking this spot out. read more

I ordered via grubhub online delivery, please take this into consideration for my review. BTC was interesting. the prices and offerings seemed quite fair so I made an order, not realizing how much food I was ordering when I did. I got: - Chicken Bites (spicy soy) - 12 pcs Drumsticks (half spicy soy half honey butter) - Waffle Fries - Classic Taco A lot of time at restaurants nowadays, the portions are quite small. Something like "chicken bites" sounds like something that would get you half full. Not so at BTC. I was barely able to eat half the chicken bites before I was full. That's when I realized I had ordered way too much food. This ended up lasting me 3-4 days, which I appreciate. BTC has very good portions and price value which caught me off guard. As far as the food itself, the chicken bites were just decent. Same with the drumsticks. Overall, they were good but not great in terms of flavor, a little bit plain, but did not have any major problems. The waffle fries were good. And I wouldn't order the taco again, it just didn't really feel like normal mexican food to me. Overall, I enjoyed BTC, but the food is not that remarkable. I would give it a 3 for OK, but I could see it getting extra points for pure value and quantity of food which is rare in this day and age. read more

This place seems to be a fairly recent opening because we were just driving around when we stumbled upon this hidden gem in Los Angeles ! The place is somewhat small but there is an indoor and outdoor eating area and the place was very clean ! We ended up getting 4 different items off the menu 2 tacos, wings, bento box and waffle fries - 1. Waffle fries 5/5: so crispy and so delicious. It comes with this ketchup mayo sauce which makes the fries even more tasty. My daughter couldn't stop eating them 2. Pulled braise beef taco: 3/5, it was good but was kind of bland for my taste. The onion was a bit overpowering so the taco didn't really have any flavor imo. Also kind of pricy for one taco :/ 3. Spicy galbi taco: 4/5, better taste and has a nice kick to it! Also kind of pricy for one taco but it was very good. 4. Drumsticks: 5/5, it was sooooo good, the best item we got off the menu (for me). Got the 10 piece and they split the flavor into 2 different ones which I really appreciated. Wings and drumsticks were very large and came out fairly quickly ! 5. Chicken curry bento: 4/5 it was a lot of food and honestly didn't finish it! The raw mushrooms on the salad threw me off but still finished it. The flavor was good but there was just too much going to for me but would definitely get it again :) All in all, really enjoyed this place and really appreciated the workers constantly coming to check up on us to see how we liked it and if we needed anything else. Define would be coming back here ! read more

Little known neighborhood gem, family owned, generous portions and friendly staff. As a Korean person, I would like to think I know Korean food. I highly recommend this Korean fusion place where you can get authentic Korean food and creative twists on OG recipes.

Occupying space next to Vons with big dining space and plenty of parking. Simple seats with no fancy design, but comfy enough. They closed quite early in the evening but opened from lunch time. They did provide self order kiosk but you could also order in person. BTC itself represented what they offered, Burger Chicken and Taco. All dishes had Korean touch so we certainly got their Korean Fried Chicken in Spicy Korean sauce. We loved that the portion was great for the price and the sauce was finger lickin' good. Wish the meat could be juicier, but still pretty decent! We tried some of the tacos including Beef Bulgogi and Spicy Beef Rib. They were probably pricier at $6, but taste were luscious! Both were flavorful and great in their own way and toppings were plenty here. I wasn't that much into their tortilla, but could compensate that it wasn't their expertise. The seasoning certainly was the highlight. read more

This place is very good. We got the Bulgogi and King Oyster Mushroom. It was very good. The staff is was nice as well. We are definitely coming back to try the menu. read more

Friendly staff and overall good quality food. But a tad bit too salty from my most recent order.

I tried to place another order today, June 20 via Grub Hub, and it got canceled, again, like it did on 4/28. According to Grub Hub help, the driver arrived but the order wasn't ready because it didn't hit the restaurant's POS so they didn't prepare the food? I have never had so many problems ordered from a restaurant as I've had with BTC. read more

They're so friendly and the menu is jammed packed with a deliciousness. This was my first time here but definitely not the last! I had the Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken Wings and they were cooked to perfection with a wonderful flavor . Crispy Chicken Skin is addictive and hard to put down. Can't describe them you just have to try them for yourself. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since I saw the sign go up and it didn't disappoint! I got the Korean Fried Chicken wings. I love that it allowed you to try two different flavors (10 or more wings. I tried the plain and the Soy Garlic. The crunch and seasoning is so good! They didn't skimp on the garlic flavor in the Soy Garlic. Loved that! Definitely recommend the Fried Chicken Skins. Not overly seasoned and again, that crunch just put it over the top. My bf got the Braised Pulled Beef tacos and the Bulgogi taco. He thought they were going to be the size of street tacos, but they were regular size. He said the Braised Pulled Beef was amazing. So tender it just melts in your mouth. Slightly sweet, but well balanced. The Bulgolgi was just as good. Seasoned well blends well with the tortilla and cilantro and onions. The food was so good we went back 2 days later. He got the Spicy Korean Galbi Beef Rib Taco. Not heavily spiced but just as well flavored and tender as the Braised Beef & Bulgolgi. We'll definitely be back again. read more

Do NOT sleep on this place- it's the very definition of hole-in-the-wall! The interior may seem a bit shoddy with the patio chairs, minimal decor, and music playing from a JBL speaker, which does not match the eclectic menu at all. Such a strange mix of Korean fusion. Even the banchan is unusual, coming with egg salad and soy quail eggs rather than the more common banchan dishes you'd find at any other Korean restaurant. Despite all this, though, you'll find great value for the price you pay! Food came out under 10 minutes. The portions are an appropriate size for the price; I was actually impressed with the thickness of their wings, and their wings definitely have that signature Korean fried chicken crunch. The wings were definitely my favorite amongst my order. I also tried out their signature mashed potato balls, something I wasn't really expecting at a Korean fusion spot, but those were also gas. Definitely coming back here to try something else on the menu and recommend others do the same! read more

The food was delicious, wonderful Korean food... And the quail eggs were divine. Tofu done perfectly we will come often.

My boyfriend and I tried this prior to getting on a flight as it is our neighborhood eatery about two blocks from us I really wanted to like this place as I was told by other neighbors it was pretty decent Five dollars for a Thai tea moderately the chicken sandwich was OK and my boyfriend got the pork cutlet in gravy Food was decent not sure come back. The chicken sandwich didn't sit with me later on and my stomach started to hurt and I was experiencing some acid reflux. I think that there were other eateries in the neighborhood that are with going back to prior to me checking out BTC again read more

American Korean Fusion spot. Happen to be in the area and decided to give this a shot. Pleasantly surprised by how well everything was made and tasted. Service was friendly and nice. Bento was good with a lot of variety of side dishes which I appreciate. Burger was good and waffle fries are always a welcome side. The chili fries were ok. It's kinda rare but I wanna say they put too much on there. Like the fries got soggy really quick and there kind of wasn't enough fries. Especially with them being waffle fries, you end up with a bunch of toppings left and no fries to go with them. Wings were delicious and well made. I would get those again easily. read more

Stopped in for takeout today. It's not a space that is suited for dine-in, basically looks/feels like a ghost kitchen. Ordered Bulgogi Burger and Soy-Garlic chicken bites to go. Food was super solid, good crunch on the chicken and bulgogi sandwich was well assembled. Slightly salty, but all bulgogi is. Idk who Chef Kang is, but food was good. $25 total which is totally reasonable, portions were plentiful and filling. read more

We remember the slow transition of this building from KFC to Cherry on Top yogurt and poke (an interesting pairing). We saw the signs for "BTC by Chef Kang opening soon!" We looked forward to checking out this new establishment, we're glad we did! We had a family gathering there so we were able to try different dishes. Everything was great! I tried the Korean beef bulgolgi burger combo. The price seemed a bit high until the meal arrived. The portions are generous, along with good sides in add to the waffle fries. The burger was really good, I'd never had bulgolgi served in a burger before. I made a good choice. Other family members had the fried chicken sandwich (nicely prepared) and the chicken burrito (my son had to take it home, it was a lot). What I will try next time is the bento box. My brother-in-law and younger son both ordered the chicken cutlet curry bento. So much food, all of it good! The cutlet was wonderful, the curry a good compliment, it also came with potato salad, a green salad, a potato ball, a bit of chap chae noodles, picked radishes, marinated mushrooms, and a scoop of rice. Again, a lot of food that was a good value. The atmosphere is rather basic, but that's not why we went there. The cuisine is awesome. My brother-in-law was visiting from the East San Gabriel Valley, quite the distance, yet he wants another BTC visit. I'll be joining him! read more

Delicious Korean food with authentic flavors. The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and the service is great. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Definitely a legit Korean spot and one of the best I've tried read more

Excellent bento box value - two can dine on a big bento. Lots of unusual and tasty items -- potato croquette, stewed quail eggs, shrimp tempura -- that you don't often find in a Korean bento. The curry katsu pork was so Delish! Goes great with jasmine rice. The fried chicken drums were good, with sauces on the side. K-FC is all about the sauces. But IMO great fried chicken, like a great steak, needs no sauce. It's all about properly seasoning the batter and marinating the meat. read more

i was pleasantly surprised by BTC -- now i know i don't need to venture all the way to koreatown to get quality korean food. i think this was previously a fast food place, so it could use a bit of an ambience touch-up. i thought i was going in for a quick bite, but the portions were much larger than i realized! the prices were also higher than expected, but after seeing and experiencing the bento box and burrito, i can dig it. let's start with the short rib bento box. i don't think i've ever had a bento box so filled to the brim, with such a large variety of food. every single food item was delicious and played its part like a no-skip music album. even the salad was topped with a creamy sesame dressing that turned my anti-salad boyfriend into a believer. and of course, the short rib (galbi) was as authentic and flavorful as what you'd get from a quality kbbq. the bulgogi burrito was a banger. i didn't think ingredients like pinto beans could blend so well with bulgogi beef. but wow, chef kang does it masterfully. you've got to try it to believe in this big beautiful blend of mexican and korean culture. it comes with a green sauce that gives it a tartness for some next-level flavor. hats off to chef kang! i'm excited to come back and try everything else on the menu. read more

I usually enjoy eating at your restaurants but may I make a suggestion? The fried chicken bites flavor is good but it is very dry. I think because the pieces are cut so small it gets really dry after being fried. I would remove the bites from your menu as the chicken wings and drumsticks is already good. read more

Don't be fooled by the plain interior. The food is great and the people that work there are very friendly. Great food that is fast but not "fast food" in taste. Order at the counter but they provided great service when we were there. Fried chicken is so crispy and juicy mixed with Asian flavors. The Asian style tacos are also amazing. read more

I live right around the corner from this spot and I really thought it was a teriyaki spot until I decided to give this a try and knew it was a Korean fried chicken establishment. I absolutely love this place. The fried chicken is spicy and very flavorful. When you bite into it, you hear that crunch and the chicken itself is well flavored. I ordered wings, a chicken sandwich, and fried chicken by itself and I love that it comes with little sides like pickles, kimchi, and sauces. Their seasoned fries are amazing! Very crunchy exterior and soft inside. Their service is great! Usually they will have your order out in 15 minutes on a non-peak hours and 20-30 minutes during their rush hours. Pricing is affordable. $20 is around what you'll pay for a meal here. Very worth it though. You won't be disappointed. read more

Service was very good and fast. Food is great. I had the rib bento box and my friend had the veg. rice noodles. Great. We also ordered the fried mushrooms and they might be my only quibble. It is a large portion of big mushrooms and mushrooms are a watery vegetable and they got soggy pretty fast so only order if you have enough people to eat all 12! I would not recommend ordering items like the fried mushrooms if you are getting take out or delivery. read more

When Friday night rolls around, Boyfriend is usually beat, being that he gets up by 4 AM for his job 5 days a week. So we decided to try takeout from this new restaurant, formerly an odd pairing of a frozen yogurt place and a poke joint. Having read all of the great reviews I was excited to try it. However, our experience did not measure up to all the five-star reviews. The menu is an interesting mix of traditional Korean staples and more fast-food type dishes like burgers and tacos. I ordered a trio of tacos - the chicken, the classic and the Korean-spiced taco. Boyfriend opted for the Galbi burger with a side of waffle fries. We were told that the food would be ready for pick up in 15 minutes. However, Boyfriend arrived and was told they were running late. For his wait time, the staff threw in some freebies - fried chicken wings and more waffle fries, which we didn't really need or want. Now, I am a white girl who enjoys a fair amount of spice, but I must say I couldn't even take more than two bites of the Korean spiced taco. The others were fine, pretty basic, with diced meats and raw onions and came with a few different sauces in small plastic cups. Just fine, not special. Boyfriend thought his burger was ok, though he pulled out a few pieces of gristle. However, both of us felt the wings and fries were super greasy and heavy. I like my fried chicken skin to be super crisp, and this was not that. It was soggy and unappealing to me. Can't really speak to the ambience as I was not inside the restaurant; but it doesn't seem to have any particular charm according to boyfriend. I'm sorry to say we probably won't be back to sample anything else on the menu. read more

I visited again yesterday and had the Texas Chili and a Spicy Galbi Beef Rib taco. Both were delicious. The chili was a little too spicy for me, as I'm still feeling it the next day. I wonder if the heat can be adjusted per order... read more

Let me start off by saying I really enjoy Chef Kang's food. I frequent his other restaurants in ktown and even buy his banchan at Zion Market. We were heading home from Costco when we noticed BTC and immediately had a hankering for his delicious wings. When we walked in, we were hit with an overpowering smell of cleaning solution. Both my son and husband commented how clean it smelled inside. We ordered for takeout - a burger, the soy garlic wings and jjajangmyun. The jjajangmyun came with chicken radish, seasoned daikon and soy marinated quail eggs. When we got home, I tasted the radish and daikon banchans and it tasted like the cleaning solution we smelled inside the restaurant! The jjajangmyun also had the same taste. I don't know if the smell of the cleaning solution permeated the food, or they didn't fully wipe down their prep surfaces but we had to toss the banchan and the jjajangmyun. Thankfully, the wings and the burger were okay so our meal wasn't a total loss. read more

So this was the second time here. The bulgogi burger was so good. Nice and lean not fatty. Quality for sure. My friend had the animal style burger which he said was really good. As good as the food was and good value, the owner treats you so friendly and welcoming! Definitely a place to eat! read more

The food is absolutely amazing!! We got the spicy soy garlic wings, kimchi stew, and beef bulgigi. The sides were so tasty and the rice was nice and soft and sticky! Flavors popped! When I walked in the lady greeted me and she was so kind and friendly. The restaurant was very clean and simple but cute decore on the tables. I definitely recommend coming here for Korean food! read more

I had the black bean noodle dish and it was good. Very light, not salty at all. This place opened 5 weeks ago and they make delicious food. Servers and staff were very friendly.

This is a good change in the area, by offering the Korean fusion cuisine. The menu have a lot of options, which in IMO the store should have a screen display or pictures for some of the customers to look at to help with deciding what to eat. Whenever I go to a fusion restaurant I like to test the water by ordering a familiar item like a burrito and see if the chef has pushed the limits or not so I ordered the galbi burrito. Inside there's beans, white rice, pico de gallo and the Korean short rib meat. It too a few bites to assess if I liked it or not. For me personally, I see it has some potential. I think the salsa was tart but lacked a punch to bring all the flavors together and the burrito needed a little sauce and moisture. It was a bit dry for my liking. I felt like if the chef wanted to get there with the fusion concept a gochujang salsa with push the flavors over the hill. So for those reasons, I say that burrito is right in the middle. Not too good and not too bad. Now the fried chicken drumsticks on the other hand is next level delicious. You can tell the chicken was brined because the meat had flavor and extra juicy when you first bite into it. I got the spicy soy flavor. Let me tell you, this beats the k.bbq fried chicken by miles. The batter is delicate and crunchy while the spicy soy hummms a bit bite after bite. For $9 for 4 pieces it's plenty of food for a single person and if you pair that with rice, might even be enough for 2 people. The chicken definitely stole the show for me and I'll put this as a must eat restaurant if you're flying out of LAX. read more

Quick & easy pickup with friendly staff - place looked clean although I took it to go. The food tasted incredible, felt like 2 meals in one pack bc of all the side dishes like quail eggs, salad, japchae, kimchi, & radish.

My wife and I stopped by early on a Saturday evening (they are still in soft open mode, so they close at 7:00). The staff was really nice and super helpful. The menu features a wide assortment of Korean-inflected burgers, tacos and burritos, as well as more traditional Korean fare. We started with the fried chicken drumsticks. Half spicy Korean and half Spicy soy garlic. They were unbelievably good. May be the best fried chicken I've ever eaten and not for nothing, I've eaten a lot of fried chicken. Crunchy on the outside, but moist and juicy on the inside. No notes. My nod goes to the spicy Korean, which had some heat, but not too much, and was packed with flavor. We also had the signature braised ribs, which were literally fall off the bone tender. We went with the mild, which were really good, but will definitely check out the spicy next time. Last, but not least, we had the black bean noodles with pork. Delicious and well balanced, we both gave it a decided thumbs up. All in all, a very enjoyable and satisfying meal at a very good price. It's a great addition t the neighborhood and we can't wait to come back and continue working our way through the menu! read more

I'm Korean. Their beef took me back to my childhood and my Grandmothers galbi. No notes.

This is the last visit I will make here. In their 20 piece wings, you will get drummetts regardless. Everyone is super nice. This should be clearly outlined so that you can decide where to go. On another note the cleaning solution used is very pungent upon opening the door. So sad, but will make the drive to another establishment despite this being so close to me. You get 10 wings- half the order and rest drummetts. Fries are not edible, taste bad. Not the same from the previous orders. read more
