    When in good company, pochas are the go-to late night food spots. LuvDduk in Cerritos always has me covered with their massive portions featuring all the classic Korean comfort foods and happy hour deals. We always get their tteokbokki which comes in a super-sized bowl, and you can customize toppings and add ramen, sausage, fried seaweed rolls, and so much more. In addition, we tried their garlic chicken wings, bulgogi hot stone, and bulgogi cheese fries. Everything is so affordable considering the portion size, making this perfect for groups + families! Will need to come back next time for more of their combo menus

    Giant chicken katsu
    Genise S.

    Ordered giant chicken katsu and corn cheese. It was so good. Chicken katsu is crispy on the outside with tender meat inside. Such a comforting spot with generous portions. We got our order pretty quickly. Great place for a group to come and share food.

    It's a lively place with neon lights. Good for a younger crowd but I did see families with younger kids. The girl had been wanting to try this place. A lot of cheesy items and there are no substitutions. This establishment has a 2 hour time limit. We ordered combo C which states it's GIANT for 49.99. Yrs it was a lot of food especially the chicken katsu. I dislike this dish but I did try it and it was full of flavor and crispy. The girl liked it I will most likely not return but my favorite restaurant is right next door so I will gladly bring the girl back here. If you like cheese, fried foods, and alcohol come here.

    Army Stew, Fried Chicken, Kimchi Fried Rice, Tteokbokki, Corn Cheese, Loaded Bulgogi Fries, Garlic Noodles

    My favorite dish that we ordered was the army stew. It was very comforting tasting and had all the right toppings that we loved. The tteokbokki was a close second, I loved how bouncy and soft the rice cakes were and how the sauce was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy. To be honest the fried chicken is an honorable mention because it was so crispy, light, and juicy. Not oily at all, and I couldn't stop eating it. I did enjoy the loaded fries, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and the garlic noodles, but they weren't as tasty as the other menu items. The service was amazing as the woman who took our order was kind and patient as we were making up our minds. We had two young kids with us and they were very accommodating! The restaurant itself had music playing, cute decorations, and so much seating. I enjoyed our experience here and would recommend to others!

    We are here for this giant katsu!!!! Well yeah... it's bigger than my face and probably double the size of my hand!! Still perfectly crispy on the outside and super juicy inside ‍ Also ordered the corn cheese And yup... it was HUGE too! But... more cheese!!! The bulgogi cheese fries though Their food is the ultimate combo to pair with beer We also didn't forget the signature tteokbokki ‍ Plus, they have buy 1 get 1 beer or soju during happy hour Ig: socalhkfoodies

    Tteokbokki Combo A
    Vi D.

    This place is as good as I remember it. We got the Combo A with spice level 2, which is halfway between buldak 1 and x2. The portion size is huge, so don't go ordering more food if there are only two of you. The music was blaring and they played my favorite songs, but it was between lunch and dinner so it was unnecessarily loud with just the two of us in the restaurant. Check this place out when you get the chance. I bet it gets really packed at night!

    Cheese Corn.
    Rosellyn Joyce M.

    Okay service is great. It's the first time I've been to a restaurant where I don't need to ask for refills of water because the lady kept replacing our carafe! Thank you for that! It "looks like a typical burger joint inside with Booths. There's a side door for to go orders. Food service was quick and the portions are big. For their price, I would hope so. We ordered the following: Bulgolgi Fries Garlic Steak Noodle Egg Cheese corn Ranking in best to so-so, I'd have to say is the steamed egg. Yes, I was surprised too. I thought the Bulgolgi fries would be number one. Sadly it's not. If you mess up steamed egg, ima gonna say no to the rest of your menu. I would order two next time and just stick to that. The cheese corn was okay, but compared to PaDak and other local Korean spot I say skip this. The cheese tasted weird to me and I did t like that it was also a kraft American cheese. As a cheese lover, I only expect that square cheese to be on a burger or cheese melt. The Bulgolgi Fries could serve 3 people. But it was drenched with sauce, and spicy sauce. Not enough Bulgolgi to pay $20. The cut of fries were this nd tasted like sweet potato. It just didn't fit my taste buds. The Garlic noodle okay. That's Al I have to say about that. I'm glad I finally tried this place, but I don't know if I would come back for anything on their menu. I would rather go next door or across the street.

    giant chicken katsu, giant tteokbokki, and beef garlic noodles
    Helen N.

    I recall being absolutely stuffed after coming here for the first time. I had seen so many TikTok's of this place and I was so excited to come here to try it! I was not disappointed at all. The chicken katsu is so massive and delicious, all crunchy goodness with an amazing side of curry and tonkatsu sauce. The tteokbokki had a nice spicy kick to it and it's perfect paired with the cheese. And the garlic noodles were so garlicky and I love all the onions in them. The lady who took our order was super sweet and the vibe is really nice! They play a lot of K-pop music, which I enjoyed. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy giant portions of food. Expect to take it home with you!

    Orange dumpling
    R Alexis N.

    A friend had been recommending this place a lot! I hadn't had the time to stop by. My husband found a TikTok that showcased their best dishes. We ran here from LA lol we had the orange dumplings 2 out of 5. They were okay. But get the COMBO C! Worth every penny. We had regular spice teokk bokki with ramen noodles and the katsu chicken. It was amazing! A must try! Service was fast and good! The ambiance was chill. Very small space so if it's full you could be waiting a bit. But they were rocking Celine Dion so it was very homey! Adding this place to one of our go tos!

    Army stew
    Andrew D.

    Great pocha-type establishment! This place definitely gives off a fast casual vibe with quick service and upbeat music. It's great for any occasion and open late so it can be good for food after late night events. We got the katsu and army stew and both were great! The katsu was huge! Super crispy and great with the includes curry and katsu sauce. The army stew had a good combination of ingredients and was good for the cold weather. Recommend to those in the area looking for a late night comfort bite!

    Spicy rice cakes
    Pawan S.

    Cool little Korean spot if you're looking for a quick bite. I love the vibe inside and the service is really good. They were quick to seat us and take our order. I got the bulgogi garlic noodles and these were amazing 10/10. I just wish it came with more meat because it was really good. The garlic amount is perfect and they really get the noodles saucy which I love when eating garlic noodles. My girlfriend ordered the spicy rice cakes, I'm not the biggest rice cakes fan so I can't say much but from what I ate it was really good and it definitely has a kick. But overall this is a really solid Korean spot but there are definitely better in oc.

    Katsu
    Taylor C.

    Came here late after a concert in LA with a group of friends. The venue has a great party ambiance with the lighting and electronic music. I felt like I was ready to party again. The service was fast and to the point. Set A Combo (LD + Tempura Rice Balls) - The rice balls were pretty underwhelming because it had a neutral flavor. Set C Combo (Katsu + LuvDDuk) - I am a fan of their thin katsu. It was well seasoned and had the perfect crunch and crispiness to it.

    Mild Tteokbokki, Fried Seaweed Noodle Rolls, and Mozzarella Sticks
    Megan D.

    After trying out this spot, I will for sure be making my return. Everything we ordered was delish, and it wasn't an unbearable level of spice. I've been to other Tteok spots and mild was already too much, so this was perfect. We also had an order of garlic chicken wings and those were good as well. Service was good, and there were a lot of seats when I went. I wouldn't say the are plenty of tables, but we went a bit early, so I'm assuming we happened to beat the crowd. I definitely see the restaurant getting packed during peak hours though.

    Are the rice cakes here made from rice or wheat flour? I know that sounds strange, but a lot of Dduk is made from wheat flour not rice flour, and yet Dduk is often still just translated as "Rice cake."

    It is made with wheat flour. The word dduk as rice cake is a rough translation. There are different types of dduk made with different types of ingredients, not just rice. So dduk is translated to rice cake but it does not mean that dduk has to be… 

    Are they open on Wednesday?

    Is there an option for no spice?

    Yes, their Honey spice level has no spice.

    Hiya! So I am not a spicy type ramen person do they have a mild spice? Or a light spice that is not over powering? Also what is in the ramen? I am not big on fish cakes but I do like rice cakes too! And veggies!!

    Yes, my mom and I ordered the mild level and it's just perfect for us who don't eat too spicy

    When is happy hour and what are the specials?

    Yes lots of happy hour specials

    What's the difference between the yup dduk and yup oh?

    Yup Dduk has more rice cake and Yup Oh has more fish cake!

    Does the set A come with sausages and cheese or do you have to add it?

    Some cheese and sausages come in the normal yuppduk ddukbokki but not alot!

    Did you close business ? We called for two days but no one picked up phone!

    Still open!

The soba sauce was light, but it was packed with umami and super refreshing - perfect for a hot summer day. Overall, everything was delicious and I love the vibe of the restaurant with the BlackPink posters and KPop playing in the background. The owner and staff were friendly and attentive as well.

    I love what the new ownership has done with this familiar Korean eatery. It has been transformed…read moreinto one of the area's premier destinations for authentic Korean comfort food, embracing the traditions of slow-cooked, homestyle recipes passed down through generations. Every dish reflects a dedication to Korean culinary heritage, arriving at the table bubbling, sizzling, and steaming with irresistible aromas. Step inside and you are welcomed by the comforting scent of toasted sesame, simmering garlic, and richly fermented broths that instantly make you feel at home. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unpretentious, capturing the feeling of gathering around a family dinner table. The menu celebrates soulful Korean classics with bold fermented flavors, slow-simmered stews, casseroles, salad wrap combinations, noodle dishes, and grilled fish, alongside shareable favorites like Korean chive pancakes, seafood pancakes, and abalone porridge. Every meal begins with one of the best complimentary spreads of banchan in town. The assortment is vibrant, tangy, spicy, and refreshingly diverse, featuring dishes that are increasingly difficult to find at many Korean restaurants. Our table included a variety of namul (seasoned vegetables), steamed eggplant, creamy Korean potato salad, japchae, and wonderfully fresh kimchi. Each side dish provided its own balance of flavor and texture while perfectly complementing both steamed rice and the main courses. **Dwaeji Bossam (Steamed Pork with Napa Cabbage) + Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) Combo, plus banchan - $45.99** The bossam showcases beautifully prepared pork belly that is incredibly moist, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth rich without any unwanted pork odor. Thin slices of pork are elegantly arranged like ribbons and served alongside an impressive assortment of accompaniments: spicy julienned radish kimchi (musaengchae), sliced raw garlic, fresh jalapeños, ssamjang (sweet and savory fermented soybean chili paste), saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), carrot and cucumber sticks, crisp green leaf lettuce, and blanched napa cabbage for wrapping. Every condiment serves a purpose. The crunchy radish kimchi cuts through the richness of the pork with bright acidity and spice. The saeujeot delivers an intensely savory burst of umami, while the ssamjang contributes a balanced combination of sweetness, heat, and fermented depth. Wrapped together inside fresh lettuce or tender napa cabbage, every bite becomes an explosion of contrasting textures and harmonious flavors. The accompanying doenjang jjigae is equally satisfying. The fermented soybean paste creates a deep, aged savoriness that is rich yet mellow, supported by anchovy stock, garlic, and just enough heat from sliced jalapeños. A slightly thickened broth envelopes silky tofu, tender zucchini, onions, and potatoes, creating one of Korean cuisine's most comforting stews. **Eun Daegu Jorim (Braised Black Cod) - $48.99** The braised black cod is another standout. Buttery, flaky pieces of fish are gently simmered in a glossy reduction that perfectly balances savory, sweet, spicy, and umami flavors. Thick chunks of radish slowly absorb the rich braising liquid until they become almost as satisfying as the fish itself. Just before serving, the dish is finished with freshly diced green onions that contribute brightness and a subtle bite to this deeply comforting classic. Service deserves special recognition. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. My family felt immediately at ease from the moment we walked through the door. The servers anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, quietly refilling water glasses and clearing finished plates with thoughtful timing. What impressed me most was the kindness they showed my mother, treating her with genuine warmth, sincere compliments, and the type of hospitality that made us feel less like customers and more like welcomed guests in someone's home. This restaurant beautifully showcases everything that makes Korean comfort food so beloved: slow-cooked recipes made entirely from scratch, deeply flavorful stews, generous portions, exceptional banchan, and heartfelt hospitality. Between the authentic homestyle cooking, robust flavors, and caring service, it has quickly become one of the finest places in the area to experience the warmth and comfort of traditional Korean cuisine.

    There are so many Korean food choices around Cerritos and La Palma adjacent areas…read more Nearly all have a specific type of food preparation different from each other. This location has served cold noodle soup (mulnaengmyun) all the years we have come. The most recent owner is also female, and her kitchen and front end staff are all female. By far, this serves the best cold noodle soup and thin chewy buckwheat noodles. The hot summer days certainly bring in a crowd! The side dishes or banchan change frequently, my favorites are the tomato and apple, onion and parsley plus the house made kimchi. Occasionally they have the white or non spicy kimchi which is so delicious and refreshing. We often get the combo cold noodle with beef bulgogi (thin sliced marinated beef) or kalbi (LA style short rib sliced across and marinated then grilled). Love the bossam plate :boiled pork belly served with vegetables for wrapping. Also good is the marinated chicken & veggie wraps combo. The gamjeatang or pork spare rib spicy stew if full of tender pork and stewed vegetables, that I feel is a healthy alternative to the grilled meats. The boochoo neon (I hope I spelled that correctly) or chive pancake is done so well here: tender and crispy on the edges. Great for sharing as an appetizer. They also have a barley dish that is mostly vegetarian with spicy sauce. Very glad they are open daily and until 9 pm (last call is about 830). Many families and golf buddies or business partners frequent the place. Quiet, thankfully has A/C cranked to cold most year round, so you can enjoy your meal in comfort. The manager (Joy) and servers are unfailingly quiet and priced excellent service.

The broth was rich, savory, and slightly spicy with that tangy kimchi flavor. The pork bone meat was sooo tender and literally fell apart! The dipping sauce made it even better too. It had a little mustardy kick that went perfectly with the pork. We also added the cheese fried rice and definitely recommend it! Crispy on the bottom, cheesy, and so flavorful from the leftover broth. The bossam was also really good! Loved the pork wrapped in napa cabbage which adds a fresh, crunchy texture to every bite. And of course, we had to get the kimbap! So delicious and the perfect bite to go with everything else. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Korean comfort food!

I went with the short rib Tofu soup and it came with two nice size beef short ribs and the meat peeling off the bone. Ban Chan was good but could not eat a few of them because they had bean sprouts in it. Nice to see Chodang doing strong. Hopefully the next time back won't be a 3-4 year gap.

    I wanted to share my experience since I come here about twice a week. I keep coming back because I…read moregenuinely love the food. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the quality is consistently great. The service is usually very good, depending on the day and time you visit. I often come late at night, and there's a woman who occasionally works those shifts whose customer service is outstanding. She's always friendly, attentive, and makes every visit enjoyable. Unfortunately, my experience has been different with one of the night employees, a tall gentleman. On multiple occasions, he has come across as rude and often stays in the back without acknowledging customers, even when you're clearly trying to get his attention for assistance. It can make the experience feel unwelcoming. Overall, I still highly recommend this place because the food is excellent. I just hope management can address the inconsistency in customer service so every visit is as enjoyable as the food.

    I've been going to this place ever since I was a kid. This Korean restaurant hasn't changed their…read moremenu ever since I've been coming here with my family. It's a small authentic Korean joint that's family-owned. The ambiance isn't the best but the food definitely makes up for it; it's more of an older generation vibe. They have restrooms while they might not be the best and there's ample parking. The service is welcoming and friendly. Their side dishes are simple and you can ask for more for no charge. The salt and green onions are self-serve. I always get their Seolleongtang or Kong Na Mool Guk Bap and they both come with rice. They both taste great and are often considered a hangover cure. If you want to add noodles, you can choose between white or glass. Near the end of your meal, they give you Sikhye as a little treat. Sikhye is a traditional sweet rice punch. I think this is for dine-in customers only, I'm not sure if they'll pack it for take-out orders. This place is never too packed and it's a great place to dine if you're looking for something light hearty and a warm meal!

    This is a nice authentic Korean soup place. I came here with a friend on a Thursday night after…read morework around 5:30 pm and there was a decent amount of people. The menu on the wall is Korean but the menu itself has English words on it. Love the side dishes - kimchi, seaweed, and radish with the typical unlimited refills. I got the suluntang (dont know how to spell) #1 which is the basic order. It comes with a side of rice and the choice of vermicelli or glass noodle. I love glass noodles so of course I chose that. It's nice because you can add as much or as little salt as you want and the same goes for the green onion. It is such a soothing soup on a cold day and the side dishes make the food very refreshing. Very home-y feeling inside with the aunties working there. Lots of parking since it shares a parking lot with other restaurants/shops/supermarket nearby. I would come back again for a nice warm soup when I am in town.
