Bunker21 - Sliders (spicy) + 6 chicken wings (soy sauce) - Korean Near Me - Artesia, California

I typically don't dine in since I usually take my food home to enjoy, but today was a little different. I stopped by a bit later than usual and was surprised that there weren't too many people dining in. There were only three other groups, which honestly made the experience even better for me. There did seem to be a few pickup orders coming through, though, so you know they stay busy and everything is fresh. For the menu, you scan a QR code at the table to browse everything, and once you're ready, they come by to take your order. They actually had a few options that weren't available for takeout, so I guess there are some perks to dining in. We ended up ordering one of the dine-in combos: 12 wings + tteokbokki. For the wing flavors, we chose the lemon pepper and soy umami. The wings came out super crispy, hot, and heavily seasoned. You could really taste both flavors distinctly. The lemon pepper had a nice citrusy pepper kick, while the soy umami was extra saucy with a strong savory soy flavor. Honestly, it feels like the wings are absolutely coated in seasoning when you dine in. The tteokbokki was also delicious. The rice cakes were super chewy and bouncy, which paired really well with the wings. Dare I say, the tteokbokki sauce even worked well as a sauce for the wings too. Everything was way too much food though, so we definitely couldn't finish it all and ended up with quite a bit leftover. , read more

We order here a few times a year. Most recent called in an order and just beware, you are REQUIRED to make all sandwiches a combo. I wanted to place 3 sandwiches plus some B21 fries but wasn't allowed to unless I made the chicken sandwiches a combo. Needless to say I didn't place my order and went somewhere else. I understand inflation and it's getting crazy keeping up with the increase of minimum wage but it's not fair to require purchasing a combo when I don't want any fries or drink. I'm still spending money so I shouldn't be forced to buy fries and drink when I dont want to. Sorry Bunker 21, sadly, we must part ways now. read more

The Garlic Soy and Sweet and Spicy wings were very good. The crispness was on point given it is a wet rub and chicken was juicy. Corn cheese had lots of cheese pulls. Sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had anywhere. Wow! Service was quick and attentive. Smaller restaurant looks like it would be fun to go with a small group at night for drinks/food. They also played really good music that wasn't overly loud. read more

I came here on Christmas Eve. Another restaurant I wanted to go to was closed but this place was open. It's next to Holo's coffee which I go to all the time, but it looks closed almost every time I go there. I was surprised it was open, so I decided to give this restaurant a try. Reviews said fried chicken is a must-try so we got the lemon pepper! WOW it was good. So crispy and flavorful on the outside. The inside was moist and piping hot! Spicy french fries had a nice crispiness to it too. I'm guessing it's whatever oil they use to make these two things so good. We got a pork bowl that I thought was kind of mid--I'd skip it next time I come back. Might have just found my new neighborhood Korean fried chicken spot. They also offer free salad (it was just shredded lettuce and thousand island dressing) and pickled daikon. On top of that, I thought the service was great. I mean they are working on Xmas eve! I think it's family owned but I could be wrong. read more

im never disappointed with the wings at bunker 21. I havent dined @ the restaurant but always take out. My go to wing flavors are the umami soy and garlic parmesan. They don't skip on flavor and still have that crispy crunch and not dry. If you want someone to taste why Korean wings are different, then take them here. Plus you get the cabbage salad and radish with the order. It's a win! read more

Location was easy to find, service was great, food was good. There was plenty of seating for a Monday evening. It was kinda warm inside. Fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. The umami flavor was delicious. Complimentary side salad paired well with all the dishes. Seafood pancake was good, but a bit greasy. Kimchee was ok, daikon was good. Parmesan fries were good. Definitely a good place for beer and Korean street foods while catching up with friends. read more

This place hits the spot for when I'm craving korean food! The staff is very nice and they do an excellent job at keeping the place clean. The music played is fun and upbeat. We started with corn cheese and tokpoki. For our mains we got the sweet and spicy and garlic yoghurt parmesan wings. They offer you a complimentary cabbage salad. Cabbage Salad- Fresh and crisp with a sweet and tangy dressing that awakens your taste buds. Corn Cheese- Such a lovely blend of sweet corn and gooey, creamy cheese. They have a good ratio of each ingredient and it was the perfect balance. Tokpoki- Rice cakes were nice and chewy. The sauce is flavorful with just the right amount of kick. Fish cakes, egg, and sausages make it hearty. Adding on cheese is so worth it! Sweet and Spicy Wings- Their chicken base is tender and juicy with an excellent crispy exterior. The sauce starts off with a tangy sweetness and you get a little kick of heat in the end. Garlic Yoghurt Parmesan Wings- Nice and creamy with a generous amount of cheese on top. The gatlic flavor is nice and strong. Great experience overall! read more

I never knew I could love Korean fried chicken until I met Bunker21!!! Not only do they have a variety of flavors, but their chicken wings are always the right amount of crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My top three are the Garlic Parmesan Yogurt, Lemon Pepper, and Hot & Crispy wings. They offer a wide range of items on the menu - draft mango cart beer, fries, tteokbokki, and kimchi fried rice, which are all bomb too. Each chicken order usually comes with cabbage salad and radish. I noticed there's usually only 1-2 people working the dining area, but the food always comes out fast & hot. Everyone is nice and accommodating. There are mainly booths of 4 inside with some long tables in the middle to fit larger groups. Interior is like a pocha setting - super casual. read more

I came often to get chicken wings. My family loves the hottest and spicy chicken wings. Their chicken are crispy and delicious. This place service was pretty fast and the wait staff was really nice. This would be a nice place to bring a group of friends to eat. The food prices was reasonable for the quality. The chicken wings were hot and crispy. The wet flavors maintained their crispness even after a while. I recommend the reaper, it was my daughter's favorite. I would definitely come back again. read more

The Korean fried chicken is incredibly flavorful. The coating is light and crispy, without being greasy or overly bready. The fries were also perfectly crisp. I was a bit surprised by the umami soy sauce. It was thinner in consistency than what I'm used to but overall, I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

Ordered food to go but got to embrace the ambiance when we went inside to pick up the food. The place was packed and there was a waitlist, but staff worked fast to get tables cleared and customers seated. We got the wings (sweet/spicy and lemon pepper) and the B21 fries. I appreciated the crispiness of the lemon pepper wings, I also noted a sweetness to them. My favorite was the sweet and spicy wings. I really liked the bulgogi on the B21 fries, however if I got them again I would ask for light cheese. read more

Met with a friend around 6 pm on a Saturday. The place was bustling & had an inviting atmosphere. Ordered kimchee fried rice and Tekboki. We were gonna order the corn cheese but the waiter told us the larger kimchee fried rice comes with corn cheese so didn't order it separately. (There's a smaller, cup size kimchee fried rice). Food was good and with the corn cheese included, the price of $28+ made sense. The place was lively and more customers came in as the night wore on. We stayed over 2 hours but they did not pressure us or hint at us to leave, which we appreciated. Friendly service & tasty food. Good place to hang out & catch up with friends. Definitely recommend this place. read more

We stumbled across this place. Went to get Pho but it was a bit warm inside. This was next door and the place was busy. We went in and got immediate seating. There were a lot of good looking dishes as we walked to our table. We ordered beer and dinner. It was brought in a reasonable amount of time. The food was really good! We finished and it took a bit for the waitress to come by. Okay, it was busy and there were only 2 people working. You have to cut them some slack. Would I recommend coming back to this place? Yes, we'll worth it. read more

I came here on a Monday afternoon with my husband and we shared a 12 pc wing order and garlic butter rice. Service was good. Food is made to order so there was a wait but not too bad.

I don't know if it's the pitcher of Stella talking, but the chicken wings here were really good! I got a dozen of their "hot and crispy" wings, which are twice fried, crispy chicken wings with a moderately spicy dry rub. It's crispy, well seasoned, and had nice heat! To pair with the salty, savory chicken wings, I had an ice-cold beer, complimentary pickled radishes, their crispy fries, and corn cheese that was served with very melty mozzarella. Corn cheese is a very simple dish as it's basically canned corn and mozzarella, but when the cheese is bubbling and has browned edges, it's as good as those ingredients can be. The totality of these dishes were exactly what I needed after this long work week. I think bunker21 is a wonderful place for a pitcher of draft beer, some flavorful fried chicken, and some nice side dishes. read more

My go-to korean fried chicken spot in Cerritos/Artesia area. They are also popular for take out orders. I usually order 6pc wing with either umami soy, sweet chili, or hot & crispy depending on the mood, as well as their beef bap which is a bulgogi bowl with onions, rice, and an egg (extra charge). Their sweet potato fries are also a must, perfectly crispy and sprinkled with sugar. The complimentary salad and radish have unlimited refills! Just be prepared to wait a bit for the wings as they're freshly cooked. read more

I don't know many times I've been here, every single time though. It's always a hit if you want some Korean fried chicken. The Umami Soy is sooo good. I always like to ask for gloves when I eat here and it's just so convenient for me. It's a nice little spot, always recommend this. read more

If you don't like chicken wings raise your hand. Ok, seeing no hands raised, lemme tell you about the double crunch even when saucy wings that I might lay down my life for! The kid who took our order was so very nice but so timid and when we asked what the soy umame was like he said "I don't know how to describe it". Welllllll... ok. He was very sweet though. Anyway, at that point I decided to make my own life's decisions hahaha and ordered the umame soy and sweet and spicy wings, along with fries and kimchi fried rice, radish and cabbage salad. Everything was loaded with flavor! Those wings tho! Fireworks in my mouf! Yes my mouf because my tongue is so spiced up that I cannot pronounce the "th" anymore! Parking is easy depending on time and day you decide to visit. Kpop and hip hop play non stop. Go here and hang out with people you like. read more

My hubby and I were being big backs this past Friday and after scrolling through TikTok, we came across a video claiming these were the crispiest chicken wings ever. Since my hubby and daughter are huge wing lovers, we had to try them. We drove over to Artesia (not too far from us). The restaurant was a bit busy, but we ordered our wings to go and enjoyed them right in the car just like Alicia did in the TikTok video. Let's just say... those wings did NOT disappoint. Super crispy, flavorful, and that sauce was sooo good . We will definitely be back to Bunkers 21. If you're a wing lover, this spot is a must-try read more

Honestly, a local gem in the area! Great spot for Korean fried chicken, with a fun pub/sports-bar type of vibe - but with kpop music videos playing all around. The chicken is cooked well with pretty good flavor and crunch. The sides are all so good. We usually get at least one order of fries, but on our last visit we also ordered the seafood pancake which was such a hit! We love that they offer both regular and sweet potato fries! We've also tried their other dishes like the chicken rice bowl which didn't really stand out to us - we stick to the fried chicken and fries. The service has always been pretty consistent, even when they get busy. They check in a few times, but otherwise will largely leave you and your party to enjoy your meal. Despite being in a strip plaza with other eateries, we've never had a difficult time finding parking. A solid spot to eat with a group of friends and can get pretty lively in on the weekends. read more

My new favorite Korean Fried Chicken place. I've tried all sorts of KFC in the area including Luv Dduk, Pelicana Chicken, bb.q Chicken, Furai Chicken, Love Letter, I Got My Sound Chicken, (I can keep going...). Some of those places are simply overrated and some are mid. Bunker21 is easily among the best KFC I've had. I tried Umami Soy and Hot & Crispy flavored wings. The Umami Soy is your typical sweet soy sauce glazed KFC. The chicken itself is perfectly fried, the coating is crispy with a nice bite, and the inside is juicy and well seasoned. My personal favorite of the two was the Hot & Crispy, which is a dry rub with spices. I personally liked it more than Howlin' Ray's Nashville Hot Chicken. Most KFC places don't do a good dry rub fried chicken, as they rely on the sauce. Aside from the chicken, the Kimchi Fried Rice and Fries are really good too. I got the Kickn' Cheddar Fries. I wasn't a fan of the nacho cheese powder, so I would get the regular one or a different flavor next time. The rice was delicious, not too oily, and not too salty. There is a lot of seating and the restaurant is fairly big. Parking lot is big too. The music is a bit loud, but that's pretty common for KFC bars. Service is good as well. They check in on you frequently. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is my friend's go-to Korean fried chicken spot in the area and she's taken us here a few times! The food has always been tasty and consistent, and it's never been too packed which means we never have a crazy wait for the food. Plenty of parking available in the lot too which is always a plus! Complimentary cabbage salad and pickled radish are provided. We've tried a variety of their fried chicken flavors and they've all been good! I didn't find their spicy flavors to be too spicy. While their chicken is solid, what I actually enjoy the most here is their B21 Fries! Bulgogi fries topped with a garlic yogurt sauce, pickled onions, cheese, and jalapenos - a must get for all fry lovers. HUGE serving size so perfect for sharing amongst the table! Overall, not the best Korean fried chicken I've had, but solid and consistent and never really any issues with wait time or parking, so I don't mind coming back whenever I'm in the area! read more

I did a pick-up order - via their website - for one thing and one thing only: Chicken wings! I got: - 12 Pieces Wings: 2 flavours of wings. $19.95 -- Reaper: Dear goodness, this was ABSOLUTELY SPICY and I LOVED every moment of it; this is coming from someone who's waited in line for Howlin' Ray's Howlin'++ (secret menu) sandos and eaten it all. -- Sweet spicy The order comes with complimentary pickled radish and shredded cabbage w/ dressing - such a stellar combination The wings were delicious - very crispy (in true Korean fried chicken fashion - thanks to the Black GIs who were stationed there and helped introduce this to Koreans), flavourful, not greasy, and a very serious kick (for the Repear). The restaurant is dimly lit yet comfortable, and I was greated by the staff upon entry. While not crowded when I went (Friday afternoon), they're always busy. I've found my new spicy chicken wings place for sure! Parking can be tight, given that they're in a small strip mall with the very popular Holos Coffee shop, moongirlnails (mani & pedi place), Koseli (a Nepali market), and a handful of other stores too. They're also next to 99 Ranch and a separate strip mall that's split up - so there's no abundance of things to do in the neighbourhood, but parking can be hard to find, depending on the time of day. read more

finally got to try this spot!! they have solid korean chicken and i loved the complimentary dishes of pickled radish and shredded cabbage + dressing. I could literally eat plates of that shredded cabbage. we also ordered a bowl of their house kimchi fried rice - it was definitely yummy but nothing really extraordinary. i think that if it had been hotter when it arrived at the table, it might've tasted better. i did love the pickled onion on top! the restaurant is dimly lit and I really liked the ambiance. it wasn't super crowded but they did have a steady stream of customers even at 11 pm. our server was so helpful and very efficient. i would definitely come back if i was in the area! read more

It was kinda slow when we arrived so we were one of two parties here on a weekday evening for dinner. They have quite a selection of Korean pub food from tteokboki to fried chicken. The wings come in several flavors. The yogurt garlic Parmesan was interesting and maybe my favorite of the ones we had tried. It's just very cheesy. We also ordered the umami soy and lemon pepper which were also good. The seafood pancake was quite good along with the kimchi fried rice. The fried rice came out on a sizzling hot plate so it give it some time for the rice to come out a little crisp. Overall, it's a great place to go with a group. read more

Great group place! Typically can always find seating and the wait for the food isn't too long compared to other Korean chicken places. Recommendations: B21 fries are soooo good. If there's anything that's unique about this place compared to other Korean chicken places, it's these fries. Most of the chicken selections are good, except for the yogurt coated chicken. Highly recommended hot n crispy and umami soy. read more
