    Chicken buldak
    Lucila S.

    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)

    Bulgogi fried rice
    Lucy M.

    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...

    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!

    The food is ok... Kimchi fried rice is good, taste is right, the garlic chili chicken I becomes hard once cold so you have to eat it quick... Service is fine, our server always comes with a big smile, however the rest of the team seem to lacking that... They got some cute cartoon on the walk... Music is not loud...

    Side of Pickled Radish
    Robin H.

    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.

    Bulgogi
    Jeanette P.

    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!

    Menu
    Anika M.

    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).

    Large Boneless (2 Flavors): lemon pepper and honey garlic
    Millena P.

    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.

    Honey Kimchi Pizza (12 Inch)
    Angela K.

    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.

    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!

    Spicy Bulgogi Fries
    PJ R.

    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.

    Supreme pizza
    Christine V.

    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.

    Desire N.

    Happy hour from 3-6pm: boneless chicken is $16, all cocktails $12, pint of beer $6 and pitcher is $19. All soju $10! Their 20 pieces original crispy chicken are $33z I got the soy garlic and lemon pepper m. Both were so good. I also got the jjamppong seafood soup $40. It was spicy but good. Got a lot of crab and seafood. The seafood combo udon pasta $23 was flavorful. Must stop by in you are in doe work Monrovia.

    Cheese Kimbap ($10.95). I was not a fan.

    Ask the Community - K-Chicken & Beer

    Is Korean pizza coming back to the menu anytime soon? Thanks.

    My wife just called yesterday to ask about this. They indicated they've stopped serving pizza. Given the popularity of Korean pizza, I'm surprised they wouldn't just get the oven fixed or buy a new one. We would drive 30 minutes for good K pizza,… 

    Would we be able to bring our 5 y/o?

    Yes! Absolutely

    I would like to visit here but my son is allergic to sesame seeds, can this be avoided?

    Is this place good to bring older kids? 10-17 y.o.?

    Yes. Wings are good, pizza is good too. They'd like the wall art. Not like a bar, casual.

    Q: Do you have Happy Hour? A: Happy Hour runs from 3:00-6:00pm every day, as well as 9:00pm to closing. Exceptions are holiday weekends (eg weekend of Valentine's

    Happy Hour is still 3:00 - 6:00 pm as well as a new Reverse Happy Hour for drinks only running two hours before closing.

    My son is allergic to peanuts. Is there peanuts in the batter? Or do you guys use peanut oil?

    No, its veggie oil and no nuts in the batter

    Are the chicken batter gluten free?

    They are not gluten free
