    Local and popular joint. Parking is extremely limited, we were lucky enough to find a spot. We ordered the 1/2 fried chicken, garlic flavored. In our box there were at least four wings. There was no white meat that I could determine. This is not to say it wasn’t flavorful, it was good. I wish they had a generic “Southern“ fried chicken flavor. The garlic flavored was alright, though. So was the white rice and we enjoyed having the pickled radishes on the side —those were tasty. We noticed it is best to phone ahead and put in your order because we waited about 30 minutes or so for our order. Since we were on vacation this was no big deal, we are not in any hurry or anything. For those pressed for time you definitely want to call ahead.

    I'm back! Lucky enough to frequent Oahu several times per year. Never miss a chance to swing by and visit my friends at Itchy Butt. If you haven't visited this restaurant you are missing some great Korean comfort food. This joint has great Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, curry and more. My fave is the chicken bowl. Plenty of boneless fried chicken atop rice and slathered with specialty sauce and cheese sauce. A drink is included and you can't beat the portions or the price! This ain't no fancy sit down restaurant and everything is 'to go'. So grab your order, head to the park or the beach, pull out your chop sticks and dig in. You soon will be doing the chicken dance of joy!

    Would have made it a 4 star but the normal fried chicken didn’t really have flavor it needed salt and seasoning. However the garlic chicken was very good loved the sauce on it. The lady there who took the order was very nice and gave us some free drinks.

    Got to know this place thru YouTuber - Mark Weins, we took the bus there and brought the box back on bicycle to enjoy the food in the cool air conditioned room at our hotel. We got the garlic chicken and it was incredibly tasty, the aroma filled the entire room and made us wish we've bought more! Even though it was at least an hour after we got our food, the chicken was still crunchy and flavors are just amazing. Will be back soon to try other flavors. Went back a few days later and got the spicy chicken, still prefer the garlic one!

    Stumbled upon this place when my partner and I were on vacation in Oahu. What a great find for sure! The bowls were delicious and as you can see by the photos they are very generous with their food portion!! Definitely recommend trying this place out if you enjoy fried chicken 🐓.

    Some of the best fried chicken I've had. I tried the koren and garlic flavors with a whole chicken. A good hole in the wall local place. No place to sit and eat you'd have to take it and find a place to eat. Differently something you'll have left overs or can share with someone.

    The name catches your attention and the food keeps you coming back. Good size portions, very shareable of your not starving. We tried the Garlic Chicken Bowl and fried cheese sticks. Garlic Chicken has a slight sweetness to it, almost like a honey garlic. Not spicy at all. The bowls came with rice and a drink. I ordered a spicy sauce on the side. We also had Cheese sticks, they are savoury and come with 6 sticks. Location is not your typical tourist spot but it wouldn’t stop me from coming back. Little parking out front. No dine in or washrooms. Everything was so delicious and plentiful! Drive to Ala Mona Park to eat your food by the ocean with a view.

    The name definitely catches your eyes and there are so many positive reviews online so I have decided to try it. I had ordered the half garlic chicken pack with rice on the side for $3 additional so it came out to $23.04 tax included. I initially thought it was expensive for my lunch. But when I got it it was heavy as it was a lot. There were 9 good size pieces with pickled radish and soda included. It was enough for 2 people and in my case it was enough for my lunch and dinner. The garlic chicken tasted very good. The seasoning was just right and the meat was very juicy. So, it was very good and definitely a cheapeats that I highly recommend. Note: they do have some parking but no dining area, it is only take outs.

    Our family had very mixed reviews. Two loved it and two wouldn't return. The bowl for $14 including a canned drink provided enough food to completely satisfy two adults. I would order extra garlic for the garlic chicken. There was a nice bed of rice that soaked up the sauce from the garlic chicken. The ones who didn't like it found the garlic was lacking. Although, I wanted more garlic I still enjoyed it. It's a tiny window where you order and we easily found meter parking on the road nearby. Place is a bit grungy, so if you want new, fresh, clean, it's not the right place for you. Also, had a constant stream of people picking up orders. Prices are higher than what is shown on other posts. Still great value!

    Love the name! Great food at an affordable price, and portions that can be easily shared (if you want to, but good enough that you might eat it all yourself). I had the Fried Chicken Bowl, topped with two awesome sauces. Recommended!

    Full of flavor! Crispy chicken, radish was refreshing and the rice wasn't dry. Not a short wait, but it's kind of a hole in the wall, definitely worth it. There's street parking around the corner. Dip the cheese sticks into the sauce! So good.

    Having a sense of humor, I had to check this place out based on the great name. Upon arriving I ask a nice local gent for a recommendation. His was the fried chicken bowl with rice, which I went for, and that was a very good selection. I would definitely encouage a visit, and get your picture made under the marquee. (Bring quarters for the parking meter to insure a place to park as this is carry out and prepping food takes a minute extra.)

    We drove past and saw the name. We had to try it because my 12 year old couldn’t stop laughing at the name,; but the reviews are what sold us on trying it. It was AMAZING!! The fried cheese, the chicken… my only regrets was that I only bought a whole chicken, generally that’s enough and to spare for my family, but honestly, they devoured it! No left overs here!!!

  • 5/5 Ray 5 months ago on Google
    Food was delicious. Just a walk up spot so no sit down dinning. We parked around the corner because they have a few spots out front but it would be pretty difficult to back in or out since it's right off a main road.

  • 5/5 Susan H. 2 years ago on Google
    We love this place. My husband came back 3x to get the spicy chicken because it was so good. Even the next day the chicken was still crunchy. Definitely a must if your looking for bomb korean chicken. Haven't found anything like this back in the states.

  • 5/5 Thawn L. 2 years ago on Google
    The spicy chicken was amazing!!! First time here and was blown away by the incredible flavor of their spicy sauce. Everything was super fresh. Instant huge fans and looking forward to going back. Shared 1/2 spicy chicken which fed 2 adults and grabbed a chicken bowl for the kid. Highly recommended for any chicken lovers ( local or tourist ) absolutely worth a detour out of Waikiki to check this place out.

    The chicken is mediocre. The sauce doesn't save it. It was pretty filling, so there's that. Really not much to say. The only thing you'll remember about this place is the name.
