    Seriously a hidden gem. I'm honestly surprised more people don't talk about this place because it's…read moreone of the most decent priced AYCE option with endless kalbi. That alone deserves recognition because more and more KBBQ places are limiting that to 2 max per person. The host was attentive, service was quick, and we never had to wait long for anything. Well, minus the additional rice paper and radish dishes here and there nudging them to remind them for a refill. To end the meal, they include ice cream which doesn't happen often. If you ask nicely, they'll even let you get more. A great random find and can't wait to return.

    One of the friendliest, greatest bang-for-your-buck kbbq places I've had in recent memory! Went on…read morethe weekdays for the $21.99 lunch special, and the servers set up our tables promptly and with a smile, being very receptive and accommodating to our orders. Plenty of condiments, with ssamjang and garlic and their own sour sauce too. The meat comes out in huge slices and plates, and the meat is thinly slices and tender with our brisket and beef belly. The bulgogi is also cut in slices rather than strips, which I prefer. They were very attentive with ordering so you are comfortable throughout the meal. It's a nice and clean spot with window light and bar space. They have blinds as well, so you are comfortable however you want it. There were TVs showing sports, so it was very homely. This place felt like home away from home and I look forward to dining with them again!

    I've loved KimBob-Rex (now Sushi Rex) since they were a food truck! I first tried these amazing…read moresushi burritos when I was in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica and was immediately hooked. Every disappointment, setback, or challenge at work was healed with a sushi burrito from Kimbobrex :) I'm so glad they are a brick and mortar restaurant now and have had the chance to visit a few times. I love the Spicy Rex Burrito and the Sashimi. The onion sauce is diiiiivine. My mom adores their yellowtail collar! Service is so friendly and warm. You can really tell how much love and care goes into each burrito and dish. Fish is fresh and portions are pretty hefty. Dining area is lovely with the cutest plants and dino drawings. Please give these guys a try if you are in the area!!

    I am not sure how this place got so many high ratings but it was one of the worst tasting sushi's…read moreI've ever tried. I ordered a baked Alaskan roll and salmon was stinky, slimy, and inedible! It must have been so old, I was STARVING and couldn't even force myself to eat it. Service was also ridiculously slow, there was one other customer when I was there, and I waited 20 minutes for one sushi order. Sushi and fish need to always be fresh and top quality because it goes bad quickly if not properly handled. I found myself regretting not getting ralphs sushi because that would've been 100x better. Please stop serving customers awful fish quality. If your fish expired or wasn't handled properly, have some integrity and THROW IT OUT.

    I LOVE TOFU SOUP!!!…read more got the beef tofu soup and it was deliciousss. one of our group had burnt rice but the staff were quick to replace it. the spicy cucumber here is so good i ate like 2 plates honestly. i will say is that the spice scale isn't super accurate. i am pretty bad with spice so i got a mild and it was just ... alright... i feel like i was missing a lot of the flavor, not just heat level. my friends who got medium and spicy let me try their soups and they were way better and honestly not that much spicier. so i would say give a higher spice level a try if you want more flavor in your broth. we also ordered a bottle of soju to share and some of the spicy chicken. those were good too!

    Oh boy! I don't want to give 1-Star but really I should. Yes, it could have been better....but, it…read morewas 'not good' at all. This place is basic, nothing fancy and there's really no ambiance or special feelings associated with it - it's just an old-looking sit-down and serve establishment. The few people sitting to eat were random; I was there to order to-go. After asking what was the patrons favorite dish(es) the lady quickly pointed out the most expensive items on the menu. Of course she did. My eyes rolled but I was polite and decided to order something I recognized and wouldn't hate myself for in the morning. Chicken Teriyaki Can of coke My bill came to $34.23 Ahem! What? Why does a plate of Chicken Teriyaki cost so much? And why $3 for a can of coke? I just cannot wrap my head around it. This isn't a fancy restaurant at all! In fact, it's as basic as it gets with no ambiance or warmth. I cannot recommend this place at all. The food was pretty poor and nowhere near on par with classy eats that try to reach that $$ figure. Montrose is certainly a place where there are people with money and no taste...looking for reasons to spend it willy-nilly. I thought I took a photo of the plate when I got home. Guess not. Avoid if you aren't made of money and prefer well-prepared meals, not quick, mushy fast-foodish stuff.

    I popped in here after a school field trip craving some fried chicken. I was new here and didn't…read moreknow what to get so I went with the chicken lunch special that comes with salad, rice and a drink. I couldn't decide on one flavor so she was kind enough to put the sauce on the side for me which was great (thank you!). I love that they gave a combination of white and dark meat, I was worried it would all be wings and it was well portioned. I enjoyed having a little salad with the fried chicken pieces and rice. The sauce was light and gently sweet, a very complimentary dip to the light crispy crunch of the breaded wings. Service was very welcoming and friendly with a very clean interior and the smell of freshly cooked food. I really enjoyed the food here and I'm definitely coming back for dinner with the family.

    We've ordered from Chicken Day in La Crescenta a few times. Some were delivery orders and a couple…read moreof times, we picked up the food. Korean fried chicken cravings definitely happen and its good to have one in the foothills. We just happened to be in the same plaza shopping at the market nearby when we first noticed it. We've gotten the original fried chicken wings, original fried chicken drumsticks, sweet and spicy wings and the spicy garlic wings. I've found that the original and sweet & spicy are the 2 flavors I like best for wings. The drumsticks are a little too filling and I'm really in it for the wings. The flavor of the original fried is good and the crunch is even better. 10 pieces of these wings is $15.49 while 10 pieces of the sweet & spicy wings or the spicy garlic is $15.99. The spicy garlic was a little too strong for me. I needed to eat that with a good amount of rice. The sweet & spicy is good on its own. The flavor was not too overpowering. The double fried nature of these wings make for an extra crunch which we all look for... That's always good. We also typically get the pickled radish as a side but at times that is even too strong. Located on Foothill Blvd in the same plaza as Seoul Market and directly next to Sakana Sushi. Parking is in the shared lot or along Foothill. Service the times we ordered in-person was friendly. It seemed like a family run business. Signage out front doesnt really let you know that it's a Korean fried chicken spot. When we first parked in front of Chicken Day while headed to Seoul Market, I did a double take in wondering what type of chicken shop it was.
