I would rate my experience at Belly Bombz Kitchen at 3.5 stars, but rounding up here. My friends and I had decided on Korean pub food...before realizing that many Korean pub spots in the OC only open in the evenings. Luckily, we found Belly Bombz open and headed over. When we arrived, it wasn't too busy, and the service was steady. Our server was very kind and patient as we reviewed the menu and went over what we wanted. My friend and I ended up ordering most of the Happy Hour menu, and my boyfriend ordered a chicken bowl. Our favorite was definitely the elote and chicken chicharrones. Although, we wished we had ordered the bomb dust fries instead of the loaded chicken fries. The loaded fries had plenty of toppings, but the sauce was heavy and on the sweeter side, which we didn't end up preferring. One tip is I'd definitely ask what drinks they have available. Although the menu had specific soju flavors, they actually ended up having flavors not listed. They also had a few draft beers and soju flavors on their menu that were no longer available. Overall, not a bad spot. Definitely satisfied the craving, and the portions are a great deal, especially for the Happy Hour prices!

Food was great! Our group tried the Pork Belly Burger & the Galbi burger. However like most restaurants understaffed difficult to flag down waitress for water refill & extra condiments. Although food was tasty the place had smell of disinfectant that made eating there unpleasant

Food is AMAZEBALLS! we ordered wings and sliders for a cocktail event and people went crazy over them. We will definitely be going back. It would be awesome if they added an option to pay for delivery too but it's worth the drive to get it.

Tried Chang's chicken sandwich and chicken katsu curry bowl. Bomb dust fries are worth trying. Food taste was good. Good asian fusion food. Kitchen service was slow that day so the server/manager offered us free beverages and 2 free dishes that were served late. Excellent customer service!

We were looking for a late night meal in the area and saw that Belly Bombz was one of the few places that were still open so we decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did! We ordered the firecracker bowl with chicken, 6 firecracker boneless wings, and 6 Nashville hot boneless wings. The firecracker bowl was the perfect balance of being sweet and savory and it was so delicious. The chicken itself was nice and juicy and the coleslaw and egg complemented it really well. I definitely recommend this dish here! The boneless wings were also really good. They seemed more like popcorn chicken instead of wings, but I didn't mind this. My only complaint with the wings is that I tasted absolutely no spice in both of them which was disappointing especially for the Nashville hot because it is supposed to be one of the spicier flavors. Overall, I'd still say the wings are enjoyable despite this. They also offered happy hour prices for the wings which we were able to take advantage of. The ambiance here is nice; it's a pretty casual spot with a lot of tables and booths. The service here is good and our waiter was really friendly and checked up on us throughout the meal. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall with a parking lot and it wasn't an issue finding a spot when we came.

Pretty good spot for Korean fusion eats! Came here with a couple friends and tried a variety of things including their wings, their elote appetizer, sliders, truffle burger. My favorites were definitely the elote and the pork belly fries! The elote was so flavorful and pretty good with the sauce as well! The pork belly slices on the fries omg so delicious and fatty. Ambiance is dim lighting and loud music for a fun time with friends. Small parking lot in a small plaza.

Great for late night fried chicken, but I ordered not come out right. I ordered like a medium wing with sauces on the side, and the sauce came on the chicken, which I wasn't expecting. The sweet potato fries were good as well, but my order was still not ready when I got there.

I used to LOVE this place but it's just not the same anymore. The wings used to be where is was at! Recently they just seem really oily and flavorless. (I usually got the Buffalo Parmesan wings. They are also heavily breaded (for bone in and boneless). For those who want to eat low carb-avoid. I have yet to try their other options but I can safely say to pass on the wings. For some reason this place usually forgets to ring up customers when they order out (happened to me about twice in a matter of two months) they then called the next day or right at closing (which is late as fuh) to call and get our order. Dine in if you want to avoid that.

They are very impolite & discriminating. Me and my friend waited 30 minutes to be served & still no one approached us. Just told us to sit down. While we were the second people being seated, right by the kitchen entrance. while the man just kept taking other people who came in , getting them water & taking there order. Mind you we were the second people here. They just starred at us and the man would ignore me every time he walked by. Mind you we were the second people seated. Seemed racist to me. We immediately left & I let the lady know & she said thank you & walked away. Wouldn't recommend

Ordered food to go as it was a Friday night and it was busy and loud inside and we had just gotten back from Disneyland and just wanted to eat and rest. The kimchi fried rice was delicious and I love that they give you a whole container of coleslaw. The fried chicken was good. I think Mom's recipe was just too plain in my opinion. The Nashville hot was tasty but not hot.
I have been to many restaurants for wings! I would say this restaurant serves the best chicken wings in LA. Their wings are so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I love their sauces. Wings taste even better with bears. I was told they have 29 beers to choose from. Best of all, they have Korean beers option. They have burgs and sandwiches as well. My fav is their truffle burger with crispy fries. So good. They have free parking in the front. Services are attentive. It is definitely worth a drive if you are in the area.

This place has been saved into my collections for years and I'm trying to cross everything on my list off... unfortunately I could have done without this place. I ordered the Bomb Dust Wings and the Short Rib Poutine. I was really excited because the wings were their signature flavor and I was intrigued by the description of sweet and savory. Then I though who doesn't love loaded fries, right?! The answer is me, I didn't love these life's fries. I wanted to like this place soo bad. I first thought maybe it's because I had to eat this at home, but I don't think that's it. Although, the wings were uniquely seasoned, the flavor itself didn't taste right to me. It's had a chalky feel, I guess that's the dust part. The fries were not it, either. They put the gravy on the side, which was a blessing because it was a little salty. Honestly, it wasn't the place for me, but it may be for others.

Used to love this place ever since I tried their food truck but haven't been able to get back in a few years. Their Glendora location is unfortunately closed and they had the absolute nicest workers at that location. Came in to order to go food at 9:38 and made sure to check the "We're Open" sign clearly on the door and was shut down a minute later by a worker saying they close at 10. I could understand if I'd come in at 9:50 or maybe even 9:45 that the kitchen might be closed (even though this isn't a fancy sit down restaurant... the ambience is exactly fast casual so you'd think they'd be more gracious for to go orders) but apparently it closes at 9:35pm so the sign is a lie. I'd driven a really long time to get here and fulfill my previous wing memories and alas it was a waste of gas and time. To be honest, I would have sighed and moved on if the person who came up to me had offered literally one "sorry" like "hey I'm so sorry but you just missed the kitchen closing time" but instead she was aggressively disrespectful from the jump and walked up to me with attitude as if I should know a place's kitchen closing when it's listed NOWHERE and this isn't a nice sit down restaurant pushed me to leave this review. If your kitchen closes at 9:35pm then that's probably when you should actually list your end time as and just flip around your sign. At the very least don't give potential customers attitude. There are enough food wing places around LA with much better turnaround times that y'all should just eat elsewhere. Sadly in the time I wasted driving here I could've just gone to a different bomb Artesia/Cerritos/LB spot that at least knows how to treat people decently.

YES. This hole in the wall is delicious and hot. Some of the food options can be more tame but thier specialties are the fire cracker pork/chicken. It's hot but it's a good heat/flavor. Not so hot it makes you want to just stop eating and it ruins your appetite, but hot enough to make your lips tingle and your nose run Slightly if you have a medium spice tolerance. My server was a younger guy who was so nice and polite. I'm always so skeptical of service with lesser know spots but this guy was super friendly and attentive. The spiced fries are good and have a great smokiness to them. I LOVED that my firecracker bowl came with a runny egg on top. This place is worth your time. Limited seating though and it does fill up kinda quick.Kid-friendliness: Not a good spot for kiddos. More of a older/bar feel to it.

Food was amazing, and service was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive. The firecracker fries were great, although rich, and the pork belly was perfect.They were also trialing pudding desserts, and the blueberry pudding was delicious. I'm iffy on the banana, it's a strong flavor so if you like bananas you'd love the pudding.
