Gol Tong Chicken

**4.6/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Gol Tong Chicken Koreatown LA: Crispy Korean Fried Bliss in a Cozy Hole-in-the-Wall** Tucked on a busy stretch of Western Ave in Koreatown, **Gol Tong Chicken** is the kind of well-lit hole-in-the-wall that feels like a blast from the past—bright neon signs, simple counter seating, spotless glass cases showcasing golden fried perfection, and that unmistakable smell of fresh oil and garlic hitting you at the door 🍗🔥. It’s small, no-frills, and packed with locals who clearly know this is one of Ktown’s underrated fried chicken gems. I got the **half & half boneless**—original soy garlic and chili sauce—and it was a mountain of crispy, juicy thigh meat that arrived piping hot. The fry is spot-on: super crunchy exterior that stays crisp even under sauce, tender inside with no d

10 out of 5! I've been wanting to try this place for a while and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The chicken was crispy, the sauces were delicious and the fruit and avocado were all perfectly ripe. Like, how does he do that? Speaking of the owner, he radiates great energy! He gives warm and friendly vibes. This place is a must try if you're in the area! Also, the portions are massive! Come ready to eat and bring friends!

If his films are as good as his chicken you’re in for a real treat. I think this is a one man operation so drinks are self serve and you may have to wait but it was worth it. Great for group as the portions are huge. Chicken was both crispy and juicy. The owner is so sweet and it seems he cares about the customer experience. The only thing missing for me was a beer, it would have been the perfect combination.

It’s nice seeing people live out their dreams and make something so nice. I heard about this place and had to try it. We got the smaller directors cut. Ngl this was amazing to see and it taste just as good. The Soy garlic was my favorite sauce. Now I know fruit and fried chicken is different but it’s nice actually . All the flavors or salty and sweet come together nicely. The place is alittle small but it’s impressive that it’s a one man show. Highly recommended if you are in the area .

One of the most unique food experiences I’ve had. The chicken was exceptional in flavor and texture. Then add his in house sauces and fruit?! Crazy good. Can’t recommend it enough!
