about

April of 2010, Chego became the Kogi family’s first sit-down, brick and mortar restaurant. This happy, humble little brother is our LA-in-a-rice bowl spot. Slow roasted prime rib with creamed horseradish? Check. Sticky-sweet slabs of Berkshire pork belly over hot rice and fried egg? Done. A jukebox of feelings and L.A. youth piped in through the speakers? Yes, it bumps.

Chego is nomadic, a gypsy of sorts. We started in the Palms neighborhood then after three years moved to Chinatown and started a boom and after six years are heading back to Palms where you can find us sleeping on the couch of our big bro for now at Kogi Taqueria till we find our next Palms permanent location. We are the Raiders of Rice Bowls.

And we are still devoted to getting you that dank meal for a reasonable price, because we are family.

PORK BELLY? MY SON CHEGO APPROVES.

Hey Ho - I am a Chinese Cuban valley girl, get my peeps' feel by going to Chinatown every now and then. read L.A. Son and totally felt it. just ate 1/4 of the "chubby pork-belly". Divine and so rich, the couple next to me could not finish it either. The fries look good too. Next visit I will try the Papi Chulo dishes. Great name - that's my gato's name. Roy's food rocks.

I moved to Portland recently, and had some kind of korean fusion taco. all i could think of when I bit into it, was how much I miss chego and Chef Roy's magic x2000. chubby pork belly bowl, you live on in my dreams. (Yes, this is a sad plea for you guys to bring your food here- don't even get me started on how bad the ramen scene is).

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step inside of Chego and disrupts my whole brain. your menu is too mean. I only like my rice with kai-lan and cream. CHEGO RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME.

I've never even tasted your food, but It's already the best food I've ever put in my mouth. See you next time in L.A.! Go Dodgers!

My sister had gone on and on about how great the food was. Totally agree!! I finally tried it and will forever respect her opinion on such matters. I had the chubby pork belly bowl.....omg!! What an experience! The combO of Flavors is incredible. I will definitely be returning to try everything on the menu. Thanks for being soooo creative with your Flavors. Yum!!

i cant stop dreaming of the pork belly...so god damn good

hate you guys, food is too delicious.

Dear Chego,
I bought a very expensive house in westside village just so that i could eat at your restaurant (this might be a very slight exaggeration, but you get the point). My life has been a complete misery since you left to move to chinatown. please come back. i refuse to drive to chinatown or culver city. i demand a full service chego in palms.

thanks,
devoted chego fan

Love the food! Come to minnesota!!

FOOD LOOKS GREAT ON YOUR WEBSITE. ANY PLANS OF OPENING IN NYC?

I LOVE CHEGO!! I am in love with the exibit A Burger, im gonna try the gooey fries next! Thankfully you guys live 5 minutes from my boyfriends apartment :)

Dear Chego,
You were delicious.
I need a nap. I'll be back.
Your Friend, Jacob

Heaven in a cardboard bowl. more, please.

bomb as fuuuuu. nuff said. good job

Dude, if you're reading this review and you're like, "Um, I've heard good things about Chego, but I'm not sure if that's what I want to eat today/tonight." Let me just make the decision for you. Go! You'll thank me later. Everyone has their favorite menu items but my personal favorite is...well, everything. Seriously. But if I had to pick just one, then I suppose I'd go with the Beefy T Bowl. That sh*t is bomb! Just go to Chego right now. Get off the internet right now and just go. You'll thank me later.

Can you guys come to boston ^.^

I've had food from the Kogi truck at work and it is awesome. Most people seem to love it. I can't wait to try the restaurant.

Nom nom nom. 'nuff said.

jesus, jewish and gone to heaven. Che.

I LoVE CHEgo!!! Can't wait for you to find a new westside location, been wondering where you went! Miss the rice bowls and the kimchi platter, not to mention the ooey gooey fries!!! YUM, yum!!!!!!!

Glad to see something new and tasty in Chinatown. I havent seen a long line in ages in this far east plaza.

this food literally changed my life

EVERY DAY I AM UNSATISFIED WITH ANY MEAL THAT I IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT CHEGO ON THE WESTSIDE OF TOWN. I LOVE KOGI, AND A FRAME, DON'T GET ME WRONG... BUT I NEED MY CHEGO!!!

We love you Chego! Oh yes we do. We love you chego, and we'll be true (except when we get really hungry and we're no where near you... sigh). Miss the Chego burger more than we can say. Come back to us on the West side!

i usuALLY DISLIKE FUSION BECause it's overpriced and either too bourgeois or badly done which takes away from the experience. for some reason my chego bowl today, which included lots of veggies, was really good and felt like home cookin'. thank you chego.

the first time i had chego, was the first time i had an orgasm in my mouth. chego is like sex for the mouth.the chubby pork belly is like getting 15 min with megan fox. chego ftw

Chego in Chinatown! YES YES YES! Having just moved from the Westside to DTLA a few months ago, I’m so happy to be able to get my Roy Choi fix without having to fight through traffic! New sliders look great! I’ve been making homemade Surfer’s Sandwiches (a la A-Frame)

FUUUUUUUUJJJJJJJJJJJJKCKKKKKKKK ITS SOOOOOOOGOOOOOOOOOOD

I ate at the China town location for the first time... Amazing! food was so fresh and flavorful.the ooey gooey fries and steak in the hea great customer service. and i dont know if you do it on purpose but the staff was pretty hot!! 2 thumbs up.

This is pretty bittersweet but thanks for the awesome explanation on the unfortunate move. Please name your next special ‘Landlords from Hell’ I’m about to go out and start scouting locations for Westside Chego in my neighborhood (I’m not kidding.) Keep doing what you do. Great to have been a part of the magic from the beginning. -- Aaron Fortin

I used to live in Palms, now I live on the Eastside and I cannot wait for Chego East. This explanation was very well stated and laid things out clearly. Good job! I’m very much looking forward to the new Chego -- Jake

We were out of town and missed the send off. We will make the treck to Chinatown because we can’t live without this amazing food. BUT WE WANT YOU ON THE WEST SIDE!!!!!! -- Doug

All Good. Chego brings good vibe to wherever(s) Keep bringing it ! Thanks from the heart with or without the steak. Peace, Love, and Siracha -- SNOWY

for a delicious spammy breakfast, but maybe I should try whipping up some of these sliders next. -- David Stankunas

Woo-hoo! Glad to see my Pee Wee & Chairy are happily overseeing the Chego goings on! Have been feeling remiss in not getting over to see you guys. I’ll definitely check out the Chinatown action. Big hugs all around! xxoo love, holly -- Holly

I hate Mondays. i'm downtown for dinner once a week and chego is closed. poop.
