ONKI Adds a New Korean Dining Stop on Hawthorne Boulevard

A new Korean restaurant is adding more flavor to Torrance’s already strong dining scene.

ONKI is now open at 21209 Hawthorne Boulevard, Suite B, bringing a concise Korean menu from Chef Lee Won-il. The restaurant’s Instagram describes ONKI as a Korean restaurant by Chef Lee Won-il, serving food, cold beer, and a lively atmosphere.

The Infatuation says ONKI’s menu centers on four main dishes: pork neck soup, galbi with mashed potatoes, pork jowl suyuk, and soy-marinated seafood. Add-ons include japchae, pancakes, corn cheese, beer, and soju.

That shorter menu may actually be part of the appeal. Instead of trying to do everything, ONKI appears to be built around a few bold, hearty dishes that work well for groups, casual dinners, and anyone looking for a new Korean spot in Torrance.

For residents who enjoy discovering new restaurants close to home, ONKI is one to put on the radar.
