Kko Kko Yang-Gopchang

Kko Kko Yang Gopchang is the real deal. If you're tired of the same old KBBQ spots, this place switches it up with duck and intestines, and they do it right. The duck was super fresh and cooked to perfection with garlic, mushrooms, and chives - the flavor was on point. The banchan spread was solid too, especially the kimchi pancake and steamed egg. The best part is when they take whatever's left and turn it into an insanely good kimchi fried rice at the end.Portions are big, the meat quality is top-tier, and you can tell they've been doing this for years.

IG@waitfoodfirstKkokko in Gardena is a unique family owned Korean barbecue that specializes in intestines and duck. If you haven't tried intestines before I really recommend this spot! They have 5 different types of intestines with my favorites being large and small. It's especially tasty dipped in sesame oil and salt. I also bet you've never had this duck platter before. The meat comes out so tender and yummy mixed with the grilled garlic. You can also end your meal with a cheesy Kimchi fried rice enjoy

I love finding new places (new to me) that have an intestines combo on their menu. When it is what they specialize in, you know it is good I love korean bbq, but I love this more.Kko Kko Yang in Gardena has one of the best premium beef for bbq, but what what they are really known for is their intestines. The owner loves knowing you are their to dine for it. I am already trying to plan my next visit and bring my friends who also love this dish as much as I do. On the plus side, the owners are amazing. While the food sparks me joy, she also sparks me joy. She had me laughing. I love the positive, fun energy she brings to the table.

Local hole in the wall spot for intestine bbq!+my local favorite daechang spot! Located close to western and Redondo beach blvd. It's a small spot but have its own parking lot.+my boyfriend and I eat a lot so we get their large combo. For $119, you can order: small intestine, large intestine, abomasum, beef stomach, and beef heart. You could literally order one of each if you'd like or opt out of any cuts you don't like. The combo comes with complimentary benches and steamed egg, corn cheese, soybean stew, and salad. My boyfriend and n like to have variety so we order one of everything but our favorite cut is large intestine! +the meat gets pretty greasy and heavy so I always order cold noodle to cut the greasiness. So refreshing and yummy!+out of their banchan, their japchae is sooooo bomb.+the owner is very nice and attentive.I'm so glad I have this spot and don't need to go to ktown for it.

Loved the gopchang here! Came with lots of side dishes / banchan and portion sizes were very good. I would recommend coming with at least 3 people if you want to do the gopchang combo, it was a bit heavy for 2 people. The staff is very attentive and helpful, coming every few minutes to grill the meat and also telling you how to eat the meat with which sauce.

This was my first time at Kko Kko and it was delicious!! Super flavorful and juicy! Kko Kko is THE spot to visit if you're looking to try some homemade, comforting, Korean food. With the classic Korean jams playing in the background, you and your group are bound to have a good time. Plus, the owner is amazing!! She always provides excellent service and is super friendly. Be sure to stop by for some good eats with HUGE portions and immaculate vibes!What we ate:- The Duck Combo: grilled duck, steamed egg, kimchi pancake, soybean paste soup, corn cheese, banchan (side dishes: potato, mushroom, rice cake, chives)- Kimchi Fried Rice- Spicy Cold Noodles

You don't stumble upon a place like Kko Kko Yang-Gopchang. You happen upon it because someone takes you here.The restaurant is small and dimly lit in true Korean fashion. The ventilation is not great, so don't wear your nicest fit. It gives home-y vibes. Like literally, you feel transplanted into someone's because someone will grill the meat for you.No AYCE here - you order from set menus: beef, pork, duck - whatever tickles your fancy. Or intestines if that's your jam. While the meat was good (we had a combination of both beef and pork) the banchan was even better. Honestly it tasted like someone's mom whipped up the batch they're feeding the guests. I think each set comes with: kimchi pancake, soy bean paste soup, corn cheese, and a metal platter filled with tiny portions of stupidly good banchan. Though the portions are small, they are carefully crafted. The steamed egg shouldn't have tasted as good as it did. Even the marinated sliced onions were so damn good. I'd come back for this alone.The spicy cold noodles ($15.99) were also fire. You can eat it alongside the bbq meat or alone. In either case, the cold noodles broth was absolutely flavorful. It was the perfect complement to our meal. Check out this mom and pop BBQ joint the next time you're in the mood for some meatz.

It's different than common KBBQ chain, this one is a gem! Family owned, cozy vibes KBBQ that offered duck & intestines making it stands out than the rest!The owner is so friendly and cooked for us, very convenient so we don't have to cooked. We ordered duck combo- the banchan is so fresh ( kimchi pancake, soy bean paste soup, steamed egg..) the duck is so fresh! The owner grilled for us with garlic, mushrooms, chives... very flavorful. I can taste it is high quality right away. At the end there's kimchi fried rice which is a good combination Apparently they ordered fresh ducks and cut them themselves- not frozen, and I respect when restaurants put their heart and soul into the food, and it's been here for 23 years! I would definitely go to this one again!

A small local business hidden in Gardena is so cozy and a hidden gem. This intestine serving joint serves one of the best intestines I've ever had. As someone who doesn't eat/enjoy intestines very often this is very high compliment to the establishment. When we arrived to Kko Kko Yang, we were greeted by an older gentleman, who I found out was the owner of the restaurant. We also had the chance to meet Jenny who's the gentleman wife. She is absolutely hilarious and just so fun to be around and talk to. We got the Large intestine combo that comes with Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Abomasum, Beef Stomach, and Beef Heart. Everything was so delicious, especially the Large Intestine, Abomasum, and Beef Stomach. Those 3 meats had to be my favorite, it was just so fatty, juicy, and the texture was impeccable. In addition to the intestine combo, we got the Kimchi Fried Rice which was just the icing on the cake. As someone who isn't too fond of kimchi it was delicious. It was honestly the red sauce (gochujang) and cheese that really pulled the whole thing together for me. I can't wait to go back to get more intestines! A must-go especially if you love intestines! Also, this spot is perfect for those late-night travelers, as this location is only 15 minutes away from LAX and open to 2 AM daily.

Found my favorite grilled duck bbq in socal!!If you're looking for a legit duck bbq spot then kko kko is the placeTheir duck meat was super fresh & meaty and my friends also loved their intestines. Will be back for sure!!And thank you Jenny for the amazing experience
