We had dinner here on Monday. There is plenty of street parking. Inside the restaurant is warm and inviting. They have an extensive Happy Hour menu. We had a couple of cocktails. The Seoul King and the POG Champion. The Seoul King is their take on an espresso martini. I love that the flavor of the espresso really comes through. The POG Champion was my favorite since ai love POG and you couldn't taste the alcohol. We also played their infused soju game. For $5 a shot you get a die and the number you roll corcorresponds to a flavor shot. My friend and I rolled the same number and each got a green tea soju shot. It was refreshing and delicious. Now for the food: We got the bulgogli fries. It is a large portion of fries and tasty bulgolgi. The perfect runny yolk egg on top completed it. The seafood udon was amazingly delicious. I love udon and never thought it would be so expertly combined with seafood and vegetables. The Korean fried chicken was delicious. We got it with the K mild sauce. The chicken itself was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was so flavorful and delivered just the right amount of kick. We also got the garlic chili chicken fried rice. A large portion and the heat and garlic were so good. Great food and service makes this a place to come back to again and again. read more

Good Korean chicken here and their pizza was delicious as well. Next to the movie theater so great to grab a bite before or after the movies! Service here was great and the inside has great vibes read more

Service was good, they came to check on us a few times. My friends thought I had taken them to a bar because they had lights flashing and music playing. It has a nice vibe to drink and spend time with friends. I got the honey garlic boneless wings. The flavor was good. Sweet with a tiny spice to it. It was very crunchy although one piece was just breading. I would love to try the bone in wings next time. My friends got the fried rice and bulgogi fries. They both tasted really good! The fries had a lot of meat so I'd order that next time! We also got the chicken buldak. The more we ate, the spicier it got! Definitely ask for pickled radish to help. This was my favorite dish but it was super greasy so I probably wouldn't get it again. I got the POG Champ signature drink and it was pretty good. My friend got the Peach Ring and I also liked it. Both drinks were on the sweeter side (my preference). I'd love to come back and try more drinks! FYI: parking here is bad since it's located downtown. We circled a few times until we found parking. They have 2 restrooms (one for men and one for women) read more

Gloves? Provided. Radish? On the house. Drinks? Yes, there's an expansive menu. Other than the neon lights and bar vibes, K-Chicken is different from the other Korean fried chicken places I've been in that they provide pickled raddish and gloves on the house. I THOUGHT THAT WAS A THING OF THE PAST. So glad to see some place still upholding the spirit of KFC (Korean fried chicken). The wings here are juicy ~ the flour coating is somewhat thicker than other places (like bonchon) but it lets the sauce stick on well. So it is great if you like your wings saucey. Also pretty cool how they threw in some shishito peppers on the wings! The mild spicy levels didn't taste very spicy. It felt more sweet than spicy. The fried rice served on the cast iron was surprisingly good! Unfortunately, they weren't selling any Korean pizzas anymore... read more

A very nice Korean bar in Monrovia I'm surprised why they haven't gone viral yet. The vibe and decor are very k-pop. The food was very flavorful and the happy hours was very worth it. I got wings and snacks for reduced price in happy hours. The alcoholic drinks are also cheaper. Kimchi fried rice and chicken wings are very delicious. Servers are very friendly and happy! read more

Super service, delicious food, and fun ambience combine for a great catch-up dinner with a friend. The bulgogi is that perfect combo of sweet, savory, with a tinge of spice. The wings were oh-so-satisfyingly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They held up to the sweet chili sauce without getting mushy. All in all, a super tasty spot that we'll definitely return to! read more

I came here craving Korean Fried Chicken. I got their bone in 20 piece chicken wings, fries, and picked radish. The pickled radish tasted fresh and goes well with the chicken. The spicy cheese fries were a bit too spicy for me. The chicken was fresh and tender, but it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. The food was a bit overpriced to me. Not sure about the service because I got takeout. The interior of the restaurant was pretty dark and loud but the outdoor area was quiet and had no heaters. I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

Check in: Check in on Yelp if you'd like a free choco-pie! Parking: Parking can be tricky on the weekend, especially during dinner times. There is free street parking. You can try your luck with parallel parking, but we parked in the Vons lot and walked over. Ambiance/Environment: We came here to celebrate one of our cousin's birthday. We wanted to dine somewhere casual with a fun ambiance. Music isn't too loud. This restaurant is also great for large groups. They have plenty of tables and bar seating. Service: I failed to catch our server's name, but he was amazing. He checked on us a couple times and constantly refilled our waters. I asked if they did anything special for birthdays, and unfortunately they do not. But at the end of our meal, our server surprised my cousin by decorating the choco-pie with whip cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup. Such a thoughtful gesture! What we ordered: 1) Boneless chicken half & half lemon pepper and honey garlic - The boneless chicken was cooked throughly. I felt the lemon pepper could've been seasoned a bit more. It tasted as if it was slightly seasoned with lemon pepper. The honey garlic was delicious; it tasted exactly as it sounds and not too sweet. 2) K-spicy ramen - I was very shocked with the price $11.95. This is a good amount for one person. This is very basic ramen with the usual garnish and add ons. The soup wasn't too spicy in my opinion .. depending on your definition of spice. 3) Bulgogi Fries - I'd prefer more bulgogi, but this was my favorite dish! The fries were crispy, the egg was cooked well, and the bulgogi was savory! 4) Sweet Potato Pizza - My cousins completely devoured this pizza, so I didn't get a chance to try it. But since it was gone in 5 seconds, I assume they enjoyed it and it was their favorite. 5) Mozzarella Sticks - If you never had fried mozzarella, this is your chance. Fair warning on the endless cheese pull. Pricing: Prices are pretty $$$ average nowadays. We were excited for happy hour @3-6, but disappointed to find out they don't honor happy hour on holiday weekends. We visited on a Saturday of Memorial weekend. Other than that, we were able to share everything we ordered. Portions are large enough. read more

This spot is ideal for drinks and snacks. Honestly, all their dishes are really good. I especially enjoy their crispy fried chicken, particularly the soy garlic flavor. Another favorite of mine is the kimchi fried rice, which is incredibly rich and flavorful despite its red appearance--it's not overly spicy. I also tried the honey kimchi pizza with a sweet potato crust, which is very cheesy and can be filling. Service was good they were very helpful. Plenty of parking that you can find in the back of the building or on the street. read more

Staff is welcoming upon entrance. Once seated they give you menus and try to take your order immediately. This place tends to be busy during the evening. They play Korean pop music and music videos. This place does have a bar like feel as they have a large bar top and it tends to get a bit loud with guests and the music. They offer a variety of Korean pub food. Some of the food was a bit on the sweeter side. Soy Garlic Wings- 5/10 We were seated by a poster of these wings. Unfortunately when they came out they looked nothing like the photo. We received wings that tasted like honey garlic. They were super sticky and very sweet. The soy flavor was not present. Kimchi Fried Rice- 7/10 This dish is good and has flavor. It is a bit too spicy and looks artificially red. Not sure if they use gochujang but there were clumps of thick like paste throughout this dish. Small portion for $19 rice dish that had 5 pieces of diced chicken. Pan Tteokboki- 10/10 Flavorful ask for mild for a good amount of heat. Portion was good to share. Cole Slaw- 6/10 Needed a bit more flavor. The portion size is very small for $7 side. Needs a better portion size and way more flavor to charge this (cabbage, carrots, mayo, garnished with sesame seeds). read more

This is definitely the spot to eat at if you're in downtown Monrovia! The wings are perfectly crisped and bursting with flavor, each bite delivers a satisfying crunch that gives way to layers of seasoning. The spicy Bulgogi fries, however, might just be the crown jewel. The Bulgogi itself is of outstanding quality--tender, juicy, and oh so BOMB. The heat is balanced, never overpowering. Service can be inconsistent, but the food more than compensates. A true sleeper hit fortunate for those of us who prefer our culinary treasures undiscovered. read more

I had a positive experience overall. Their complimentary salad is lacking in dressing, and I was not really a fan of their Cheese Kimbap. However, their Bulgogi Pizza was outstanding. I did not get to try any of their chicken, but I plan to do so for my second trip. The service was decent, all things considered. I did have to ask for utensils (for the salad) and napkins, which was somewhat surprising and disappointing. Parking can be tricky to obtain in the area on a busy Friday night, but it's available if you're persistent in searching and willing to walk a modest distance. read more

Located in Downtown Monrovia, K-Chicken and Beer is a neat Korean pub complete with a bar, lit K-pop music, and of course great food! Our party of 4 came hungry and ready to feast--and were not disappointed! We had some sotteok, which are grilled sweet and sausage sandwiched between spicy rice cakes. Some other standouts were the the bulgogi fried rice and fries. Overall, we had the best time and can't wait to come back for the vibes! read more

This is a cute restaurant with full bar in downtown Monrovia. The fried chicken is crispy and juicy. My favorite flavor is soy garlic. The golden crust is a must if you're ordering pizza. So far, my go to pizza is the supreme. There's lots of options on their menu to explore, but I've only tried the fried chicken and pizza so far. I went on a random afternoon and a few tables were occupied. The staff are nice and check on you from time to time. read more

A part of me hates giving so many 5 star reviews. I think maybe I should be more critical. In my defense I do a lot of research before I go to a location so most my reviews should be viewed more as a verification idk la live up to the hype. And let me say This place doesn't disappoint. I came in for a late lunch and was granted by a friendly server named Ashley. She was very helpful answering all my questions and recommending things that I might enjoy. I got the chili bbq fries, k sweet and spicy bbq wings and the honey kimchi pizza. All where very tasty if I had to one I could have done I'm with out the fries. But the wings crispy and flavorful with the right amount of spice (I got the medium) and the pizza had a great flavor perfectly combining so many ingredients is truly a work of art. Highly recommend stoping by. The vibe is great for a friendly meal not ideal for a date in my opinion but a solo meal certainly. Give it a try! read more

The first time I came here was with a friend. We ordered a lot of food and a strawberry soju cocktail. The fried chicken was amazing! My friend doesn't eat ones with bones so we only ordered boneless. Soy garlic was good as usual, but we tried honey garlic, which was sweet and slightly spicy! Kimchi fried rice and tteokbokki was spicy good too. They also have pickled radishes with the chicken and we ate every one of them, wish the portion was much bigger! Came here a few times afterwards to order out! Their chicken is definitely great. read more

Fantastic spot in Old Town Monrovia, with ample free parking in nearby lots. Came on weekend happy hour which was great! Staff was super friendly, and patient with our 18mo old daughter. Loved half booth seating. There also was a nice bar area too. We LOVED their bulgogi fries! Definitely a must try. Well flavored and memorable. Will get again. We also liked their boneless wings (got their mild soy garlic) but also tried their newer honey garlic (mild/med spice) but as drumsticks. Their chicken was tender and both sauces were flavorful and special. Can't wait to try more. So much more on their menu to try- we will be back for sure. Highly recommend giving this spot a try, a worthwhile detour even if not from the area. read more

K-Chicken & Beer for tonight, mm-K? What I Ordered: KBBQ Chicken Honey Kimchi Pizza Food: Both foods were new flavors that sounded interesting, and they definitely tasted interesting as well! KBBQ Korean Fried Chicken had a unique flavor that had strong soy sauce and vineger that reminded me of a vignegrette sauces for salads. The Honey Kimchi Pizza was unique in that there was kimchi in between the cheese and dough. We also got the sweet potato crust, which was delicious! While the concepts were unique and new, they weren't my absolute favorites. The quality of the ingredients were great, so I would love to come back to try the original common flavors of the pizza and chicken. Service: The staff were quick and friendly! I overheard the bartender explain the Korean alcohol soju to the customers, and I was impressed that he was so well informed. Ambiance: Plenty of seats with a bar area and table area. There is also a more private area deeper inside the restaurant. Lots of parking around the area as well! It's old town Monrovia, so there are small shops and parks to visit after your meal! read more

My friend and I usually go after watching a movie. Their happy hour isn't a great deal tbh. 6 wings for $10 so $1.50 a wing isn't a great deal... Also soju for $10 when they sell a carton of 6 for $17 Anyways, wings are pretty good. Nice a crunchy and perfectly cooked. Order comes with a side salad and radishes. We order a pitcher for the table but again, I wish they had better HH deals. They do have a full bar so if you don't want beer or soju they can probably make you a yummy drink. read more

My friends birthday is coming up so I decided to take her for some Korean food since we both love it so much! K-Chicken and Beer did not disappoint at all! The restaurant is in a prime location in downtown Monrovia, it seems simple on the the outside but is a pretty restaurant on the interior; Definitely gives Korean joint vibes, I loved it! As soon as we entered all their staff kindly greeted us and we were sat very quickly. The staff all seem to help each other out with everything, so service is very attentive and quick! We ordered the mango iced tea, pan tteokbokki, sweet chili boneless fried chicken, and French fries. The mango iced tea was so refreshing, perfectly sweet tea. It was my first time trying tteokbokki, I've been wanting to try it for soooo long, and it met all the hype; the tender chewy rice cakes soaked up the sweet and savory broth and we opted for cheese to take it to the next level! The fried chicken was as good as I'd expect any Korean friend chicken to be.. AMAZING! Lastly the fries, they were the perfect crunch, I really enjoyed them. Super happy to have taken my friend here for her bday dinner, highly recommend! (: read more

They were all super kind and our server recommended some really great eats! Thank you for helping us out! read more

K-Chicken & Beer - Honey Kimchi Pizza (14 Inch) + Drums and Wings (Medium Spicy & Soy Garlic) - Korean Near Me - Monrovia, California

Had dinner at K-Chicken last Friday. The place was a little busy and my party of 4 needed to wait an=bout 30 minutes until we received a text that a table was available. The establishment is a little tiny with most of the table lined on a wall. They also had a back room that was a bit more spacious but looked like K-Chicken has been using it as storage. We were seated there. The place makes up with its service. The staff constantly came to the back room to check on us if we needed anything. Food was good. We had their spicy bulgogi fries, rose tteokpokki with ramen (the best!) and 18 pc half&half wings; we opted for their soy garlic and bbq. I enjoyed the bbg wings more because the soy garlic wings seemed to be a little too boozy for my taste. Speaking of booze, their cocktails are STRONG. I had their mikan tequila cocktail and it was more like Casamigos with a bit of oj. I'd definitely come again to try out more dishes and drinks. read more

Today is National Chicken Wing Day and you should DEFINITELY get some wings here!! THE. BEST. WINGS. Hands down!! We love them so much we've ordered them twice just in the past week lol. We've been coming here since they opened and have loved everything we've ever tried! The staff are always awesome, the vibes are fun and hip, prices standard, and location perfect! My go-to was always their bulgogi bc it's also the best I've ever had but after I tried their wings, I had to switch bc those wings are on a whole other level lol. The batter is excellent - super crispy and so flavorful with tender, juicy chicken on the inside. Their drumettes are plump and flats so full of meat. All the sauces we've tried have been excellent as well. Their "mild" flavors tend to be pretty spicy so be aware. The honey garlic is good - also a tad spicy but doable - a pleasant kick to it. But it's the soy garlic for me!! That's my absolute FAVE flavor!! They've recently added pizzas to their extensive menu so that's definitely on my list to try - once I get past their delicious wings haha! Even their mozzarella sticks are awesome! They're located right in the heart of adorable Old Town Monrovia with awesome wall art and a very chill bar to hang out at. We always have a fantastic experience here and will definitely keep coming back for more! You simply can't go wrong here - Highly recommend! read more

K-Chicken & Beer is my new go-to spot for Korean food in old town Monrovia. They're serving up some of the best soy garlic wings I've had in a while and other delicious plates like bulgogi fries and creamy rose tteokbokki And you can't forget about their drinks! The signature cocktails were really good, but they also have beer and soju if you're trying to keep it simple The dice game was really fun too! Test your luck and hope you get a good flavored shot The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and has really cool nightlife vibes. I went on a Thursday night at 5pm and it wasn't busy yet, so we got seated right away. Servers are super attentive and really helpful too! read more

Walking in the restaurant was super welcoming and busy but we were still seated right away. Given enough time to look over the menu and given some great recommendations.

Came here a few times since they opened in Old Town Monrovia, and it's always a blast here. There are lots of drink options: so many different types of soju flavors, and of course, beer. There are so many flavor options for the chicken (bone in or boneless), but my favorite is definitely the lemon pepper. The soy garlic is a close second. The kimchi fried rice was also a hit, as well as the zucchini fries. Price is moderate and reasonable. There is usually plenty of free parking at the parking lot on the side of the movie theater, if you can't find parking on Myrtle. If you're looking for a place to chill with some friends over some beer and food, this is it! They also have reverse happy hour on certain days (you can call to double check). read more

Hands down, this is the best hidden gem located in Old Town Monrovia. This is the only place I know of that sells SPARKLING soju. It's a game changer, you have to try it if you haven't already. Recently, they've added Korean pizza to their menu and it's our favorite thing here. We had the Honey Kimchi Pizza with Royal Crust (a sweet potato crust) where the sauce itself has kimchi infused in it! With Korean sausage and a ton of other toppings, it has a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Service was amazing and Moses has the best recommendations. Definitely will be coming here again. Great place for a date and even groups. read more

Cool little spot. Service was welcoming and friendly. Nice place to watch a game. TVs on both side of the place. Good color and flow. We had the kimchi honey pizza with sweet potato filling. Pizza was my favorite, especially the filling. I haven't tried this mix and it came together here. The wings were honestly below average but because of size. These are the smallest wings ever. I'm impressed that all of the wings were small. I pictured the biggest one but the others not at all good size. If you spend $30 for 18 wings, they should be at least standard size. The crisp was good and flavor. We had Buffalo and sesame. Cabbage salad was thousand island and corn. Sweet potato fries were on point. read more

Finally Korean fried chicken near me! With a great bar too! Double-fried with more than just your typical Korean flavors, there's something for everyone. They also have other stuff on the menu like pizza but I've only tried their fried chicken. Their flavors, K-mild, soy garlic, and sweet chili are so delicious! They also provide a small salad and pickled radish. They have soju cocktails which I've only ever had at Gen KBBQ. I prefer their yogurt soju cocktail here, because they seem to actually use yogurt drinks. The only downside is that the smallest size is 1/2 liter. They have a good happy hour menu as well. They offer smaller portions which are perfect for one person. The regular menu seems like big portions for one person and you can only have like one flavor. read more

I used to love this place- until they got rid of their Korean pizza and redid their whole menu. The pizza was one of the best, with kimchi toppings and sweet potato filling. Now it's just a regular Korean bar restaurant :( come for their KFC if you are in the area, their honey garlic and mango habanero are our faves. but other dishes are just okay- nothing stands out as unique. read more

After many rainy days, my friend and I decided to get some Korean fried chicken on a Sunny day. Found this small, cozy and welcoming bar-like place in Old Town Monrovia. We are seated shortly we walked in. Friendly service throughout. But the waitress only stopped by once time for water refill during the entire dining experience. It could be more often. We order corn cheese which is super cheesy and flavorful!! They add ham and pineapple chunks for slight sweetness. The batter that use for the original fried chicken is unexpectedly tasty. We also got the other two flavors: soy & garlic and spicy, but the original ones are my favorite. Here is perfect for small groups hangouts and happy hour for sure. Come and check them out. read more
