    Takoyaki, soy ginger drumstick and seasoned fries, that’s what I chose. I happened to be in the area and was searching on my Google maps for a place to eat. I had this place saved to try, so I did. I was hoping to try the salmon avocado ball from the photos but they no longer carry it. Bill was $22 plus tip. Average prices. I was satisfied with my choices but would definitely come back and try more from the menu.

    My fav korean fried chicken place since 2019. I love everything about their dishes. I am pretty much a regular customer here during the pandemic and their wings really make my day. I get their spicy chicken wings with coleslaw and their tteokbokki is very spicy but we love it

    SO CRISP! My favorite KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), you can tell they paint each wing with sauce. Every wing is well sauced but you won’t need a bath after eating this chicken. The spicy has heat but it’s still enjoyable. The soy garlic is my favorite. The incredible crisp-ness of the chicken shines through. Always get the pickled radish for that refreshing palate cleanser. I like to get my spicy with the tteokbokki. Everything is cooked perfectly and they are generous with the rice cakes and fish cakes.

    On a busy Friday night the wait was minimal for a table, as well as our food as they were very expedient. I highly recommend the Chicken Katsu and the Bull Dak if you like it spicy and piping hot. Worth parking a block away for.

    The wings were super tasty. Tried the two kinds available. (regular and boneless)went for the half and half option. Spicy and garlic soy combo. The bologi tacos were delicious. Flour tortilla with veggie, condiments and marinated beef. Also we ordered the bologi house fried rice and ir was 💣. The Side option ordered was the pickled radishes. With a modelo beer on tap.. 🙂 Cant wait to go back and try something else.. Enjoy!

    One day, I was desperately craving spicy fried chicken and this place SATISFIED my crazed craving perfectly! I recommend going for lunch, during a week day, to take advantage of the decently priced lunch specials and also it's much less crowded, plus you get attentive service. The SPICY option chicken skin is crispy and delicate on the outside with a sweet, spicy finish that delightfully lingers on the palate while you're driving away. You may need a craft beer to counter act that spice depending on your tolerance! The chicken meat is super juicy on the inside. We also enjoyed the loaded fries which were super hot and yummy. The Takoyaki could have been warmer/ better but I didn't care cause the chicken was so on point. I saw lots of people picking up to go orders but I recommend enjoying a meal fresh from the kitchen. They have big TVs and fun music playing in the background. I highly recommend this place!

    FOOD & DRINKS The spicy wings and the side dishes we had were all good. SERVICE Neither good nor bad. ATMOSPHERE Spacious but not cozy or inviting but I don’t believe it's supposed to be like that anyway. RATING The food is good and I would come back for the chicken wings if there were not other options available that I wanted to try out first.

    This Korean fried chicken is absolutely fire! Literally the spicy will give your tongue a nice burn, but still soo flavorful! That why I got a half and half order. Half spicy and half mild. Both are extremely delicious. These chicken wings are very big and meaty as well. When you bite into it you will get a beautiful crunch followed by some juciy chicken meat! Don't forget to order a side of fries and Pepsi to complete the deal!

    Definitely a nice relaxing Lunch. Came on a Wednesday and stayed for dessert. Had to try the Kkabaegi. Basically cinnamon and sugar twisted donuts. They where perfectly light, airy and Delicious. See the photos, as they where much larger than I expected! 4.99 for 2 and another .99 cents for the cream sauce. I was not too particular about the cream sauce but it was worth a try. The flavor to me seems like the milk after eating a cinnamon cereal. Smooth and creamy though so worth a try for yourself. Now on the the actual food!. I ordered the half and half chick wing lunch special. The spicy was infact spicy. The flavor was good but was a little bit too spicy for me after living in Utah for the last few years. It is definitely a Korean Spicy though. The other is the soy garlic sauce you read about in all the other reviews that also lured me into this fine establishment. It was very good. Definitely sweet but the flavor was excellent. I normally do not care for sweet sauces but would have this one again. It is that good. The main thing that impressed me though is the light and airy fry batter on the chicken. This fried chicken will not leave you feeling sluggish with their fried chicken. I ordered the season fries with my meal and they where perfectly fried with crispy outside and soft potato inside. I will say do not expect a Cajun or other seasoning. Their season fries consist of Parmesan cheese. I fully intend to come back to try their tacos and sliders at some point.

    I came to this restaurant 3 years ago before moving overseas, and this place was definitely better back then. The spicy chicken was too spicy and the soy garlic chicken too sweet. The pork buns were ok.

  • 5/5 Darlene Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Service was outstanding. They have such a friendly and attentive staff. We ordered the 20 piece wings, half soy garlic/half yangnyeom. Both flavors were delicious. Yangnyeom was a tad spicy for me, but it was manageable with the pickled radish. The seasoned fries were crispy and flavorful. Japchae was just average, but that's totally fine since they specialize in wings and that was awesome!

    Really yummy! My first time having hot pot and LOVED IT. It was priced really fairly, especially for an all you can eat place. I take away one star because I really wasn't a fan of the spicy tallow broth, the flavor was great but there was so much oil that I hardly touched it. The duck broth was great though and I love that you can get two broths at one table!

    Workers were attentive from the time we walked in (party of 2). Service was pretty quick like, ordering food, drinks and the time it took our food to come out. I had the Japchae + Bulgogi Tacos + Kimchi and my partner had the 10 piece chicken wings + pot stickers. Kimchi gave me nostalgia back when I had it growing up in Hawaii — soo ono! Even when we had a question about the glaze on the chicken wings (absolutely recommend), I believe the manager Paul came out to explain the process and to clarify how we wanted our order done. First time checking out this restaurant and y’all have two more forever customers. Mahalo!
