    Soy garlic
    Travis P.

    I've been craving some Korean chicken, and this place absolutely hit the spot. When we arrived, there were a few people ahead of us, but we were able to place our order pretty quickly. They have a good selection of food ranging from fried chicken and army stew to a variety of fried sides. These are the items we tried. Army Stew - A simple classic. It was good and came with ramen, rice cakes, sausages, Spam, and much more. It's pretty much what you'd expect from an army stew. Solid overall, and it also comes with a bowl of rice. (4/5) Soy Garlic Wings - We got a half chicken, and these were good. TBH, they were a bit less flavorful and crispy than some of the other Korean wing spots I've been to, but if you prefer a lighter flavor, these definitely hit the spot. Solid. (4/5) Kimchi Chicken Sandwich - This was delicious. I'd never had a chicken sandwich with kimchi before, but it works really well. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the flavors were well balanced. My favorite. (5/5) Rooster Fries - A simple yet tasty fried dish. It comes with fries and chicken tenders. Good and pretty much what you'd expect. (4/5) Overall, I really enjoyed the simple vibe and the food here. The restaurant reminds me a bit of a fast food spot, but the food is definitely good and the pricing is reasonable. It's worth checking out. Parking - Not bad, but there are only three spots in front. Otherwise, side street parking looked pretty plentiful.

    Yuzu chicken wings

    The space is clean with plenty of tables, and the service was great --they kept checking in on us. Everything made fresh to order. Honestly, a half-size chicken is the perfect portion for two people to share. Coleslaw is good but the cabbage pieces are cut pretty big. Yuzu flavor is incredibly unique with a bright, punchy yuzu sauce. The breading not too thick, not too thin. If you're dining in, I highly recommend getting the sauce mixed in rather than on the side. It also comes with a side of that crunchy radish. The Original Half Chicken is tossed in a delicious gochujang and gochugaru-style sauce, but don't let the red color fool you--it's actually not spicy at all. We also had to try the Soy Garlic Half Chicken. Flavor-wise, the soy flavor is definitely a bit stronger than the garlic. Kimchi Chicken Sandwich worth the price for its size! It's built on a lightly toasted, buttery pretzel bun. The sauce is a complex blend of hot, sweet, and sour. While the base sauce isn't as fiery as I expected, the fresh jalapeños inside definitely bring the heat. The kimchi pairs perfectly with the chicken, the pickles add a great extra crunch, and it hits all the right notes: spicy, salty, and sweet. It's a tiny bit on the salty side though. Overall, fantastic spot for lunch/dinner after stopping nearby a cafe.

    Kimchee Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is one of the best things I have ever eaten.

    Kimchee Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is one of the best things I have ever eaten! Saucey, pickle-y, crunchy, spicy, deliciousness in a pretzel bun.

    We went on May 7, 2026 and Daniel took care of us. He was so nice, amazing, and such a good worker. He was outstanding and did such an amazing job helping us. We had to take content, and he was so patient, kind, and helpful the whole time. You can tell he really cares about the customers and the people he works with. He definitely deserves a raise!

    this is a great place to stop by if you're craving some chicken! we came after the world cup finale and were starvinggg so we got a ton of food. soy garlic fried chicken: 5/5 - my favorite out of everything that we ordered. i loved the soy garlic flavor and the chicken was super plump and juicy. ct chicken sandwich: 4/5 - the cashier recommended this one, and i really enjoyed the crunch of the chicken. ct fries: 5/5 - absolutely inhaled these. the sauce was a great flavor and i really enjoy a balance of soggy and crunchy fries. army stew: 3/5 - my friend and i love this dish so we ordered it, but honestly the portions aren't that crazy for the price. the soup flavor didn't stand out to me and it just tasted like ramen. i enjoyed the sausages in it, but would recommend getting the chicken at this place more. this was my friend's favorite dish though. charbroiled angry chicken: 5/5 - i brought this home to eat since we were already so full from the other food, and it was still amazing as a leftover! i like the slight spice, and its a solid rice bowl with a decent amount of protein. there was a ton of seating in this place, and it was a nice roomy spot to get food. the parking lot is pretty small. all the staff were super kind, and the cashier was ready to offer recommendations.

    Service was good . Food taste and quality was very good ! The restaurant itself is very cute and was extremely clean . The only problem here is the parking as it is very limited. I would definitely recommend and i will definitely be back.

    Kimchi Chicken Sandwich combo, with Cheese Sticks (3 pcs.)
    Oscar B.

    Have been meaning to come to this place for over a year, I'm so upset I put it off for so long. I had the Kimchi Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious! The chicken thigh meat was perfectly fried. The cheese sticks were fine, those were nothing too special. But this is a chicken place, and the chicken was GREAT. Loved the taste of the kimchi and pickles with the slightly spicy fried chicken. The service was great too, told me it would take 10-15 min to cook, and it did. Made sure I didn't need anything else when the food was delivered. Answered all my questions when I ordered. Downfall, not very much parking at all. And I cannot speak to the sides yet, YET.

    Army Base Stew

    We were craving Korean fried chicken so decided to come here. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The restaurant is pretty spacious, very open and clean. The server answered all of our questions about the menu and also recommended some things. We decided to order: Half chicken soy garlic Half chicken Original Kimchi fried rice Army stew Gravy fries Special fries The food came out pretty quickly and OMG it did not disappoint! The chicken was very well sauced and still had a little crunch. My daughter really loved the garlic soy and my favorite was the original since it had a little spice to it. The french fries were also very flavorful. The army stew came with spam, sausage, rice cakes, and ramen. It was warm and comforting to eat! Overall, i give this place 10/10! I can't wait to go back!

    Chicken was really good and a good place to bring the whole family. We ordered our chicken and tried 3 of their dipping sauces and loved the spicy and the garlic one the most.

    Honey Chicken (S) eh
    Ronny T.

    Chicken place obviously that serves fried chicken as well as chicken rice bowls. I'd stick with the fried. I had the wings and they were fine. The bowls weren't really that good tho. Service was order at the counter and they bring it out which was good. Plenty of seating and clean.

There were several retirement parties at Sportsman's Lounge. It was my birthday so I thought it would be a comfortable place to go for a couple drinks and maybe play pool. I have a walker so when we came in we went to a table and waited and waited and waited for the bartender to come take our order. I told my son this guy obviously doesn't want a tip. I finally put my hands up like what the heck? The bartender put his hands up the same. He said we had to come to the bar to get drinks. So we went to the bar to get drinks and my son needed salt and lime for his shots so the bartender said I'll come to your table. I gave him my credit card and he said he'd keep it at the bar. I told him I probably couldn't outrun him. But he said there's cameras everywhere. I didn't realize it but he pointed them out. My son went to the bar and got our 2nd drinks and came back. We finished our drinks and the bartender came over and handed me the bill. I didn't have my glasses so I couldn't actually read it right then but I put it away. He didn't ask me to sign anything and I expected that because I used a credit card. When I got home I looked at the bill and that bartender added in $8.99 tip and an extra drink for me to the bill. I'm going to do whatever I have to but if I happen to walk in and see that bartender I will leave immediately. He's a liar and a thief with no class and I don't appreciate it.

A friend of mine is a Cerritos local, and this was our second visit. First and foremost, the staff was amazing. The gentleman working the front door was incredibly polite and welcomed us with a smile, even wishing us a great time as we walked in. The two bartenders were outstanding. Unfortunately, I didn't catch both of their names, but their level of customer service was exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the night. For food, we ordered the lumpia and the pepperoni flatbread pizza. Both were absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend trying them. We also enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers. I ordered a glass of water as well, and my water was refilled almost immediately every time it was empty--a small detail that really stood out. The DJ kept the atmosphere fun and lively, and we were able to catch the MMA fights on their multiple flat-screen TVs, which made the experience even better. My buddy Jason says this is the best dive bar in Cerritos. After this visit, I'd have to agree. In fact, the customer service we received here was better than what I've experienced at many upscale, "bougie" establishments. Outstanding food, excellent drinks, incredible service, and a great atmosphere. Job well done, Shipmates! I'll definitely be back.

The location is a little hidden and was somewhat difficult to find at first, but once inside, everything was well organized and easy to navigate. The staff did an excellent job throughout the event--friendly, attentive, and impressively fast despite the crowd. I also appreciated that they limited the number of guests, which kept the atmosphere lively without feeling overcrowded. It was nice that this wasn't strictly an adults-only environment, as we were able to bring our child along and still enjoy the experience. The food was good, the service was great, and the overall setup made for an enjoyable afternoon of soccer. We'll definitely be back during football season to catch a few games.
