I love fried chicken and was excited to try this place!

Food I've tried: (* = my favorite)

  • SPICY GALBI WINGS ($17 - 8 pc): surprisingly spicy, but not overwhelmingly so. Good balance of sweet and spicy.
  • CHEESLING WINGS* ($17 - 8 pc): I loved the cheese toppings. It's a cheese powder, that delivers that delicious cheese umami taste, as well as sweetness.
  • GOLDEN ORIGINAL WINGS ($17 - 8 pc): of the wings I would say this was my least favorite. It was good, but it was a pretty standard fried chicken that didn't blow me away.
  • VEGGIE STONE BIBIMBAP: pretty standard bibimbap. Slightly on the salty side.
  • ROSE DDEOK-BOKKI* ($15): the sauce was on point. It was a great balance of creaminess combined with the standard gochujang paste sauce. I liked how the rice cakes were not too mushy, but still perfectly soft.
  • ONION RINGS ($7): pretty standard onion rings
  • SWEET POTATO FRIES ($6): pretty standard sweet potato fries. I wished it had been a bit crispier though.
  • Note: all the chickens come with a side of pickled radish so no need to order extra!
  • Note: As with other places, the prices on Uber Eats and Grub Hub is more expensive than ordering directly from the restaurant's website. So if you are doing carry out, I suggest ordering through their website instead (ex: $17 v. $14 for 8 pc chicken).
  • I definitely liked some parts of the menu more than the others. The price is on the higher side, especially comparing to an American fast food chain but I compared to other Korean fried chicken places it is standard. I ultimately gave this place a green, because just focusing on the chicken (which is the primary reason I would visit here) the meat was tender, moist, and not overly salty. The batter was pleasantly thick and crunchy. The sauce was well balanced with the whole chicken experience. I would say go for the sauced chickens rather than the original wings. The sides and other dishes were ok (except the rose ddeok-bokki which was excellent), and really the main star is the chicken.

Atmosphere:

  • I can't comment on this as I ordered take out.

Service:

  • I can't comment on this as I ordered take out.

Overall:

  • PRO: great chicken, for a reasonable price
  • CON: some of the dishes can be hit or miss, so recommend my top picks!
