    Came here with a friend because she said their Korean fried chicken and twisters were good. We had to sit at the bar for awhile until a table opened up, but I was not disappointed! I got to watch a bartender make their cool iced beer tower, and it was awesome!! It appears to be dry ice and a light-changing tower that holds the beer. I definitely plan to get that the next time I come, and the Korean fried chicken and twisters were amazingggg!!! Will get everything again when I return!

    The food was delicious. The cocktails were great. The bartender was very kind and made the most amazing chili margarita!!! The ONLY negative factor was the host. She made us feel a tad uncomfortable like she didn't want us there and we noticed some very judgmental glances from her throughout our visit. Very weird and not very welcoming. Honestly, the only reason I gave service three stars instead of five, which is unfortunate because the food was really delicious.

    i ordered the korean fried chicken combo (4 wings 2 drums) with half soy garlic and half spicy. i also ordered their cheesy corn. starting with the corn, the dish came out hot (like straight out the oven) and the cheese was perfectly and deliciously melted over the corn. the corn is in a slightly creamy sauce (similar to coleslaw?) but all of the flavors worked very well together. the chicken itself was pretty good. it is a traditional korean style double deep fried chicken that has a thick, flavorful outer shell while maintaining a juicy, tender interior. the flavors were pretty good though not too different in quality and taste from other korean fried chicken places i’ve tried.

    My first time trying Korean fried chicken and I am hooked! Gotta try this stuff if you haven't. The hot & spicy was perfect for me, my girl preferred the soy garlic. We didn't love the cheesy corn, but the fried dumplings were great. The service wasn't great so unfortunately can't give 5 stars.

    A fun place to get drinks and fried chicken. I really enjoyed the half and half (half spicy and half soy garlic) wings and drumsticks platter. It’s the perfect amount for sharing with friends. We also got the seafood pancake which was delicious!

  • 3/5 Calvin X. 5 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    Food was good. Possibly a contender for one of the best Korean Fried Chickens in the city. Service was very lackluster, they seemed to be quite understaffed. We waited 15 mins just to have our server approach us with water and order food. We weren’t checked on the entirety of the meal. One slight peeve I have is when restaurants give you tip suggestions and it’s based on the the post-tax amount. This effectively secretly pushes a 18% tip to 20%, 20% to 22%, etc. This restaurant uses that tactic.

    Soul music, moody aesthetic & jazzy vibes. My eyes were fixated to their walls which were covered with retro track reel recorders, record players & various vinyls displayed from floor to ceiling. The soy garlic wings were devine. Plump, juicy wings that are fried to perfection with a nice thin crisps layer. The savory rich miso ramen was comforting. Simply topped with mushrooms and scallion. You have a choice to add pork belly. It was perfect for the kids. Soy garlic fried crispy dumplings do not disappoint, it was nicely caramelized with a slightly sticky sweet and savory skin. This place was such a great find. We came before the dinner rush around 5:30pm. So glad we did bc the streets of ktown was beyond packed with long lines outside. A must try if you’re in the area.

    Great chicken wings and fries! The server was attentive. Our food came out fast and was delicious. I would say that this is one of the better korean fried chicken in k-town!

    Love going to some place different and this Korean place was soo good. Cute rustic place with great service and food. Enjoyed chicken wings, popovers, and rice cake soup. Really loved the flavors and in the heart of Korea town. Recommend

    Love the vibe of this place! It’s decorated with records and has a jazz theme to it. Not really sure how the theme relates to the food, but I enjoyed both. As someone who hates wings, I appreciate that they have a boneless breast option. The boneless bites were a good size. I was full after eating 8 in the small. Chicken was crispy and the flavor was fantastic. We also had the kimchi pancake, which was full of flavor and not too spicy. Would definitely return!

    Like the place. It’s a big joint in the middle of the downtown. We got a beer tower that came in illuminated tower which was indeed fascinating. Food was good to average. We ordered seafood and chicken fried rice, hush puppies, and chicken wings. The ambience is rather interesting with reference to the world of music. Great location to hang out with friends.

  • 5/5 Orlando T. 2 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    A nice calm experience with amazing jazz music. Their dumplings were delicious, the spiral potatoes are worth it. Their bulgogi app we forgot to take a photo of was that good. I am glad I got the soy grilled chicken sandwich. By the end though I couldn’t eat another bite. This place is a nice hidden gem. I hope people come and enjoy this spot.

    Best wings ever!? I spent the entire meal thinking about this question. I couldn’t think of any place that beat these wings so I think they got the title! Eating these wings really made me realize what I was missing out on other places. I created a few categories to judge wings. Plumpness (how much meat) Crispyness (is there a crunch on the outside) Juiciness (of chicken inside) Sauce (flavor of the outside) Other (other) Here is my review: Plumpness: 5/5. Probably the biggest wings that came in an order that I’ve seen in a long long time. Probably double the size of a typical wing. Crispyness: 5/5. When you can hear the actual crunch of your teeth, sinking into these wings, you know you made the right choice. Literally can hear it! Juiciness: 5/5. If the outside was crispy, you could expect the inside to be dry, but no, no, no. The inside had a lot of meat, and it was all tender and very juicy. Sauce: 4/5. One of the hardest decisions when ordering wings is to decide what flavor sauce to get. They keep it simple here. 2 flavors. Soy garlic, hot and spicy. They know it’s a hard choice so they let you do half and half. Hot and spicy was great! Soy garlic was good but could use a bit more flavor. Other: you can tell these wings were prepared with love and attention. The way there were three flats and three drumsticks for each flavor. They were neatly plated on each side of the plate. Very nice presentation for something basic like wings.

    Whoever thought it was a good idea to do Korean food and jazz ....is a genius! This place right here was smooth, great service, great drinks, great food and the vibe is like being in a jazz lounge without the smoking.

  • 5/5 Ruthie E. 2 years ago on Google
    These are my favorite chicken wings and legs in town. We always get the half and half because I love the flavor of the ginger garlic so much, but the spicy is great too. At lunchtime this place is pretty deserted and it affects the ambiance so try and go for dinner instead, or book a private karaoke room for you and your friends. As long as you order a Hite and some daikon radish and chicken wings, you really can’t go wrong.

  • 4/5 Şilan K. 1 month ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    The atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a good time with friends. Jazz music is playing in the background. We tried chicken wings and drumsticks; I would rate the taste as 6/10. The handcut fries were actually better than the chicken lol.

  • 5/5 Nuri 2 years ago on Google
    Great service food and drinks. Had a group dinner and ordered two orders of wings and Fries. The orders were perfect size for our group of 6.

  • 5/5 Stephen Z. 6 months ago on Google
    Turntable is a highly eclectic themed restaurant that serves excellent comfort food. I enjoyed my fried chicken sandwich, which featured a deliciously subtle soy glaze. I also tried the kimchi fried rice, which was completely excellent.

  • 5/5 Anthea C. 7 months ago on Google
    This restaurant is totally bizarre but amazing. An American 1940s jazz themed restaurant with industrial wood interior and a Korean inspired menu?! Crazy! But this place perfectly appeals to my bf and I finally got to bring him here. He got the fried chicken sandwich and said it was the best chicken sandwich he's ever had. I got the ddeokbokki and it was delicious. Sauce was perfectly balanced between spicy and sweet. I intend to come back every time I'm in NYC. The atmosphere is so cool and the food is excellent.

  • 5/5 Kimbernation !. 7 months ago on Google
    One of the crunchiest chicken I have ever tasted! Great flavor! Okay service??!! The decorations/theme was very interesting in a good way! They have so much more than just chicken but all we got at the time was just chicken. The chicken was so good we almost finished it before I got to take a photo! I would definitely recommend you eat here with a group or by yourself!

  • 5/5 Terrie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Food and Vibe! The decor was so cool.... And the food portions were pretty good. I'm sure you can tell by the pics that we really didn't like the food much...🤣

  • 5/5 Borim J. 2 years ago on Google
    Cozy vibes. If you want to have a good Korean cuisine but don’t go through the busy Ktown street, this place is perfect for you. Their crispy chicken is already popular in the city. Other appetizers and food were good as well. (I had a grilled corn and bulgogi) highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Helene 2 years ago on Google
    Food is always good here but takes forever to get the food everytime. Chicken usually takes 20 to 25 minutes but why do appetizers take forever too? Anyway it's worth the wait I guess lol. Soy garlic fried chicken, seafood pancake, cheesy corn, and pork belly salad are my fav dishes.

  • 5/5 Lawanda C. 9 months ago on Google
    Oh my what a vibe. Such a relaxing ambience to just eat, drink and socialize. First time here and the service was great. We were immediately seated, I came for the kimchi fried rice and it was delicious. Decided to order the wings and good grief... drumsticks on steroids. Please come and try this awesome quirky twist of a place out. .

  • 2/5 Daniel P. 2 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere is very nice, staff always very pleasant. Food used to be better here. How can the chef not taste their wing sauce before serving it? It’s soooo salty! Like unbearable. Pickled radish on the side was bitter and not fresh. One bad experience changed it for me. Personally not coming back.

  • 4/5 Aditya V. 1 year ago on Google
    The food and the place were equally good. Their chicken sandwiches and burgers are fabulous. The ambience is better than most places. A little bit on the expensive side, but it's worth it.

  • 1/5 Jake M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered online. Showed up and they didn't place the order and refused to refund to my credit card. Had to dispute with my bank. This place has great food normally but they don't seem to know how to do takeout even though the allow ordering takeout on all the online platforms. Stick to dining in here

  • 4/5 Monika 1 year ago on Google
    Yes to the food but a hard NO to the service. We were only 1 of 3 parties there so can’t blame the lackluster service on an overwhelmed waitress. Literally had to get up and ask for everything we needed (condiments, to go container, the check). Sangria was pretty but it didn’t have much alcohol in it. The atmosphere is very pretty. The fried dumplings, chicken fried rice, and ramen all delicious.
