    OMG (OH MY GRAPES)!!!! THIS FRIED CHICKEN IS THE BEST ‼️‼️‼️ Every single bite I took of the chicken made my mouth water every time. This smell I get when my mom brings home this chicken makes the inside of my body be filled with joy and happiness. I felt like I was back home in Korea. The savory taste of the chicken with the pickled radish gave me butterflies in my stomach. Wow. This is just so amazing. The service was amazing as well. The employees were kind and heartwarming, not to mention their sense of humor. I just can’t wait to go back and get a glimpse of Korea again. Just wow. I love it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fried chicken. As a broke college I would invest all my money into this chicken. Again just wow. BETTER THAN BON CHON‼️‼️ BBQ CHICKEN LOWELL >>>>>>>>

    This chicken is AMAZING! I'm not a huge chicken fan and usually end up disappointed when we order wings or fried chicken, so finding this place is a HUGE deal for me! We just ordered from here last night for the first time. We tried two different flavors of boneless wings, and split them - they were both delicious, and the chicken and coating are both the best texture/consistency I've ever had. We can't wait to try more flavors!

    Ordered 2x8wingsx$13. Gangnam and golden wings, good stuff. With steamed rice, $2 each. Edit: Also, our order of 8 wings for $13 costs $16 if you ordered it online for pickup. Of all the places in Lowell to get wings this is definitely one of them. Eat it if you want wings.

    I've only had one dish here, the chicken wings. Even though the wings come coated in a sweet spicy sauce, I've never had crispier chicken, and somehow it stays crispy throughout the whole meal. I have to say, I question the dining savviness of anyone who comes to a fried chicken place and doesn't basically only order chicken. Always get the bone in wings instead of boneless, the boneless stuff you can get frozen in grocery stores and put in the oven. $14 before the tip for 8 wings is definitely more expensive than I'd like, even for a downtown place, but it's worth it once in a while.

    First time trying the bb.q chicken “ secret spicy chicken” for pick up as well as the rice cake. The rice cake is tasty and highly recommend but on the other hand the chicken was VERY undercooked. i took a bite and the sauce was delicious but once i saw the chicken was pink i started digging into the other chicken to see if they were raw as well. I was able to get store credit and the staff were nice but disappointed in the raw chicken. Hopefully whenever i decide to order again, the chicken will be cooked.

    Food was pretty good, service was ok. For the check, we were left a hand terminal that wasn’t ready for payment, it wasn’t hard to figure out, but definitely a first. Usually a server takes payment to a machine or processes the payment at the table.

    A lot of flavor but in a bad way. We got the garlic soy which was salty as heck and the classic spicy wing was not even close to being spicy at all for an Asian inspired place. The price point for the wings was not worth it. I would not recommend or come here at all.

    We ordered rice cake and fried chickens with two flavors in store. All are delicious. The taste of the rice cake is with rich flavors. We enjoyed a lot. The two flavors of the fried chickens are also good. The indoor environment is bright and relaxing. One unexpected is we got the wrong the bill. We paid and then realized the amount was way higher than we ordered. So, we checked with the server. They cancelled the previous payment and reprint the correct one again. It was fixed then.

    I ordered boneless fried chicken and I was amazed how they let you pick between breast or thigh meat. I choose thigh meat and it was amazing. It was well cooked, crispy, and well season. The service was fine, and the atmosphere was fine (it was surprisingly empty). I would go back.

    Everything is 5 star besides the customer service, the dude up front with the glasses is slow and does not have any customer service skills. If I was the manager I would fire him. They didn’t notice me for over 15 minutes when I came to grab my order(which was delicious). I had to wave the lady down to get service she and the gentlemen were too busy eating and the gentleman was up front watching a movie and eating…great food though can’t knock that

    The first time I went was for the tteokkboki but I ended up coming back for the chicken, they have a lot of flavors with different spicy levels and also you can pick between boneless or wings in most of them. I recommend the Galbi, Golden Original and Gangnam style. If you don't like to spicy rice cakes I would recommend the Rose one.

    Heard a lot about Korean double fried chicken and also about their other dishes, so when visiting nearby someone suggested this place, I eagerly agreed. Their focus is chicken wings. You cab get them with bones, or as tenders. There are a dozen or more sauces and two or three other dishes. In other words, it's not a complete exposure to Korean cuisine. We tried two of the sauces, a kimchi rice and a rice noodle dish. The two chickens were crunchy, but not as much as I was lead to believe. The two sauces were supposed to be at different heat levels but they seemed the same to us. They were both on the sweet side. The kimchi rice seemed more like Chinese fried rice since I did not see any cabbage in it nor taste any of the fermented flavors. The best dish was the rice noodle dish which came with a creamy curry like sauce that we all loved. Portions are generous.

    My friend and I occasionally stop here to get food which is usually good. However, we probably won't be returning after our experience today. After eating our meal, we paid the bill and the waitress demanded me to give her a tip and did not give my friend their change. She claimed that my friend's change was her tip and that I also needed to tip her. We always tip so we were planning to do so after receiving our change. My friend had to ask the waitress for their change which she handed to them and immediately demanded it back saying "you need to tip me". While demanding her tip, the waitress stood at our table and the interaction made us uncomfortable. She wouldn't let us leave until we tipped (even though we were already planning to tip).

    The double fried chicken method was not for me. It appeared too oily, and the flavors were too sweet. Ordered onion rings for $8 and got about 10 small rings. I knew it was busy, but the waiter never came back. My daughter and wife loved the wings but not the service nor onion ring portion for $8.

    The chickens were a little too sweet for my liking. I later ordered takeout for the second try. They tasted better, but the chickens were a little pinkish.

    First time eating there. Went on a Friday night. This place was very clean! There was no music playing like on a stereo so it was pretty quiet. The TVs do play K-pop music videos but the restaurant is still quiet overall. Service was fine. Loved their honey garlic wings. Where I sat there wasn’t a TV directly in front of me but behind me. I had to keep looking back to see what was showing. Maybe rearranging the TV so everyone can have easy access to view it more comfortably no matter where they sit.
