THE LEGEND BEHIND ONDAL

A story of courage.
A legacy of heart.

Our name draws inspiration from Ondal, a figure remembered in Korean legend for his remarkable journey from humble beginnings to becoming a celebrated warrior of Goguryeo. Though others underestimated him, Princess Pyeonggang saw his potential and believed in what he could become.

With her encouragement and determination, Ondal developed his abilities and rose to serve his kingdom. His story has endured as a reminder that greatness can grow from the most unexpected beginnings—and that belief, perseverance, and heart can change a life.

At the table, we honor that spirit through Korean flavors, generous seafood, and meals meant to be shared. We invite you to gather with us, make memories, and enjoy a taste of Korean tradition.

FROM ONDAL KITCHEN

A family recipe.
Since 2003.

Ondal Kitchen traditional Korean napa cabbage kimchi
Ondal Kitchen Korean mak kimchi

At Ondal Kitchen, kimchi is more than a side dish—it is a tradition we prepare by hand and share with our community.

Our kimchi is rooted in the family recipe we have been making since 2003, when Ondal Crab House first welcomed guests in Koreatown. We stay true to the familiar foundations of Korean kimchi: crisp napa cabbage, Korean red pepper, garlic, ginger, scallions, and a carefully balanced seasoning that develops its signature savory, spicy, tangy flavor as it ferments.

Each batch is prepared with care, from seasoning the cabbage to giving the flavors time to come together. The exact balance and preparation are part of our kitchen tradition—made to be enjoyed alongside seafood, rice, soups, or simply shared at the table.
