About Shiku

Located in Grand Central Market, Shiku offers delicious Korean dishes that are worth the wait. The pork belly and LA Galbi rice bowls are flavorful and satisfying, with the pork belly described as melt-in-your-mouth good. The kimchi pork belly was noted for its tenderness, and the rice was well seasoned. The spicy fried chicken, similar to popcorn chicken, is a must-try and comes coated in a sweet and spicy sauce, although some customers wished for a bolder flavor. The food is cooked perfectly and has a nice crunch to it. The menu is small but centralized, with quick service for chicken dishes and a slightly longer wait for the Kalbi. Prices are reasonable, making it a great option for those who enjoy Korean cuisine. While not the best Korean food in LA, Shiku's tasty dishes and friendly staff make it a place worth revisiting. Customers appreciate the fresh and crispy Korean fried chicken and enjoy the variety of other items offered.

However, some reviews mention that the pork belly was tender and flavorful, but the rice was sometimes undercooked, and the banchan was minimal, consisting only of a few leaves of lettuce, seaweed, and a small amount of cole slaw. Others say that the portion sizes and contents of the food can be inconsistent, especially with the rice box with chicken. Sometimes the portion is perfect, but other times it is much smaller, or sauces are missing or minimal. Despite these issues, the taste remains good, and many still enjoy the dishes. Overall, Shiku remains a solid choice for Korean food in the market, especially for those who enjoy crispy fried chicken and flavorful rice bowls.
