Mike ChauFebruary 14, 2013Try the Beefy T Fried Rice Bowl - Hot chili fried rice, diced prime rib, braised shoyu garlic paste, fried egg and fried shallots. This is amazing. So many good flavors going on.
Michael KleinOctober 7, 2012Like the kogi truck but don't like the chase? This is the sit-down establish by the same owners. Great food w/ a fresh, trendy SoCal take on Korean cuisine. BYOB to boot.
Curt RollisonJanuary 7, 2012Chubby Pork Belly Bowl and Rock Yer Rock are my personal faves. I've yet to be there when the Sriracha Bar wasn't already sold out. Someday you will be mine Sriracha Bar, someday.
Daniel L.November 15, 2012BYOB - Go with the Pork Belly Bowl and Ooeey Gooey Fries! A fun menu to read over but hard to figure out what you're getting.
- Mike ChauFebruary 14, 2013Try the Sriracha Candy Bar - Chocolate crisped rice bottom, caramel, Sriracha ganache, spiced candied peanuts and dark chocolate.
Robert PortilloFebruary 13, 2011Everything I have tried so far is amazing. Great fries, the meatballs are crazy good, the pork belly bowl is fantastic. Inexpensi e culinary innovation.
Be a little adventurous & try the weekly specials-these guys know what they're doing. Some past favorites include scallops and strawberries, seared salmon and fried rice, and my fav-spicy chx burrito
Eric GonzalezJanuary 7, 2011Yummy food, had the Steak sandwich and Chicken bowl, liked em both! Take out was kinda weird cuz they make you bag your own food. Cool vibe, you can write on the bathroom walls!
Gilt CityJune 17, 2011Roy Choi is bringing Chego! to Micheltorena Elementary to grub and give back on June 25 (you need to try the Buttered Kimchi Chow and Chubby Pork Belly Bowl.)
The Fluff Ice™ TruckOctober 17, 2011Make sure you order the Ooey Gooey Fries! They'r delicious. Also enjoyed the Pork Belly Bowl. Portions are huge too!
Pleasure PalateApril 4, 2010I loved the 3PM meatballs. The meatball was juicy and the sauce packed a kick. If you have a pork belly fixation, the One Chubby Pork Belly Bowl is a must order.
Bon Appetit MagazineMarch 22, 2011Brought to you by the folks behind the Kogi Truck - you can't go wrong with this brick-and-mortar hot-spot. Korean food is taking the city by truck and by cook. Read more
ColetteJanuary 6, 2013There is a lot of stuff in the bowls not listed on the menu. Make sure you know EVERYTHING that's in it, especially if you're not into greens.
Andrew LihMarch 7, 2011Oort gooey fries a must. Not only awesomely fried fries, but Asian fusion sauce, cilantro, garlic make for a perfect late nite eat.
- Special this week is fried short rib bowl w garlic shoyu sauce, kimchi and fried egg. Get here early kids, it sold out today before 8!!
Get the candy bar! It goes perfectly with the pork belly or the beefy T (which is also perfect).
LorenaOctober 21, 2010Both the $12 Salad and the Grilled Romaine Hearts are amazing. Get the Sriracha Bar for dessert. Kinda loud inside.
Janet TomAugust 17, 2011Pork belly rice bowl, gooey fries are good too! Pretty chill atmosphere with delish food!
Garick ChanNovember 5, 2010Miko's the homey, hella chill guy that'll let you know what's up. Johnnie's their sous chef, the same. Much props, shout-out some love
Tina ChiuApril 14, 2010Order the Rock Yer Road dessert. A delicious combination of sweet, chocolate ice cream and savory almonds nuts topping. Also topped with candied cherries.
Arthur MunozJanuary 7, 2011It was really weird that they bring out the lids and to go bags and say to bag it yourself. AND, you grab your own drinks from the back. but there's chalk in the bathroom!
The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 21, 2012Chego! is CIA alumnus Roy Choi's first brick-and-mortar restaurant. Read more about this successful chef: Read more
- The Fluff Ice™ TruckOctober 21, 2011The Pork Belly Bowl and the Ooey Gooey Fries = Perfect Combination + Leftovers!
Elissa VorisNovember 9, 2012Make sure you have a huge appetite, the food here is super rich and filling.
Rock shrimp fried rice was awesome!! (With a pork belly upgrade, of course).
Tobie CFebruary 2, 2012Lots of flavor-possibly too much. BYOB, but don't bring a good bottle of wine. The food will destroy it.
Steak in the Heart sandwich, ooey gooey fries & the beefy T are fantastic!
Tatiana MacSeptember 21, 2011Ooey gooey fries and steak sandwich KILL it. I was thinking about these items for a week after I ate here the first time.
Giesse LaiAugust 18, 2010Oh my fucking god. The food, the flavor explosions, the bliss...my cravings have been eternally satisfied.
Zach DavidOctober 12, 2012Wow this is amazing! There really isn't an item on the menu that tastes bad!
Heather GrimmerOctober 30, 2011Delicious! And DIY carry out. Head over to Scoops westside for dessert!
Grrrrr still a food truck. At least you can get a parking spot now!
Be a hero and order the special. Always changing and always yummy!
Celene KabigtingMarch 2, 2012When you enter, look in the back top right corner. Theres another tiny menu they dont show in the front >:(
They have less mild and non-spicy options for the weak like me.
Great food- if you have a low tolerance for Spicy food, watch out.
