Came here after visiting my family in the area. This spot has been here for years, so why not try it now?

Parking: There’s a medium sized parking lot, so finding a spot can be easy.

Ambiance/Environment: You can tell this restaurant has been here for a long time. We were greeted right when we entered. It was empty when we visited at 5pm, but it became more busy during their dinner rush.

Service: Shout out to Jenny! She was wonderful, quick, & efficient. She’s very knowledgeable about the menu. She does speak English, and there were a couple Spanish speaking servers. You’d self order from the tablet and pay at the end.

Menu items:

1) Whole Roast Chicken - I saw this on their social media, so I had to try this also lol. It’s literally a whole chicken. Tasted really good and cooked well. It came with 3 sauces, and it tasted even better. Make sure to dip! This is shareable at least between 3-4 people.

2) Kimchi Fried Rice - My favorite side dish! Sooo delicious! Other than the egg, it doesn’t come with any protein.

3) Bulgogi Fries w/ filled corn cheese - Jenny recommended this to us with corn cheese. Wow! There was a generous amount of bulgogi, and the corn cheese made it even tastier!

4) Seafood & Green Onion Pancake - I love Korean pancakes! There was A LOT of green onions. There were also pieces of shrimp. Could use a bit more shrimp but still good!

5) Spicy Rice Cake w/ ramen noodles - Presentation is on point! There were a generous amount of toppings and sides that came with this! This was a very rich dish. The ramen made it even more fulfilling lol. Make sure to mix everything well!

Pricing: My bf and I enjoyed everything! This definitely satisfied our Korean-comfort-food cravings haha! Everything is shareable between 3-4 people, so I’d say it’s worth its price.

This place has some of the best roasted chicken around! They made it fresh every hour.

The army stew ( ramen, spicy rice cake ) is so comforting and good to share! I love their deep fried seaweed roll & fried dumplings. The bulgogi fries is so crunchy! With cheese as an add on is is a must

This spot is great for friends & family hangout - they open till 2am! Service is friendly and fast - she always check in with us which we appreciate!

Chondak is a hidden gem that brings those retro early ‘90s Korean pub vibes to life! The food is absolutely phenomenal. My favorite was the 삼겹살 (charcoal-grilled pork belly)—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The grilled kimchi? Game changer. And don’t even get me started on their roasted fried chicken🍗—crispy outside, juicy inside, and made fresh daily with no frozen shortcuts. The house-made sauces are to die for, and the portions are HUGE.

What really makes Chondak a standout is their late hours (2:30 PM to 2:00 AM!) in Gardena—a rarity in an area where most places close by 9 PM. It’s the perfect spot for late-night eats or post-concert munchies after a show at So-Fi. Authentic Korean food, generous portions, and a chill vibe—Chondak is a must-visit! 🍗🔥

This is the perfect spot to unwind with friends and enjoy amazing Korean food.

Jenny, the owner, was so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. You can truly feel the passion and care she puts into this place, which made the experience even better.

Chon Dak has quickly become one of my go-to spots for late-night eats (they're open until 2 AM!)

Here's what I loved:
- Pork Belly
- Whole Rotisserie Chicken (Served with three sauces)
- Kimchi Stew with Ramen Noodles

I really like their roasted fried chicken! It’s very crispy and juicy inside. It’s also healthier than typical fried chicken because this one doesn’t have flour coated it. It’s simply crispy skin! The food here is very delicious, just that the fried chicken stood out so much.
