The best chicken shop in vic, maybe even the whole island. Really tasty sauce options and the four piece combo is priced really well. It is a little hidden but definetly worth the pilgrimage!

Some of the best Korean fried chicken I've had. Very flavorful and beautifully fried. Very light and crispy.

Hi - I have yet to hear back from anyone in management regarding the fall my 31-week pregnant wife took in your front lobby on December 10th. We had just walked in for lunch and the tile floor was extremely slippery and she fell hard on her hip right in front of the hostess. No one from the restaurant offered help at the time and my requests to speak with the owner are not being answered. Please contact me with the number I have provided you so we can discuss this.

We’re working our way through all the Korean fried chicken restaurants in town and this one is close to great but not quite. The chicken batter wasn’t as tasty as the one on lower Yates. The atmosphere was fun and funky and if I lived here I’d probably stop by again and try it again.

A fun diner style restaurant with tasty fried Chicken. We had the Megan burger, popcorn chicken, Thunder chicken and a rice bowl to test out the full gamut offered. All was enjoyed and many happy sounds were made. A highlight of Cook St.

Everytime I've gone it's been fantastic. Great atmosphere and service. The chicken is juicy, sauces are flavourful, and they offer a variety of really tasty sides. My favourite Korean fried chicken restaurant.

Took out a meal set with french fries, coleslaw and 5piece chicken. Very disappointed, coleslaw was fermented and smelled and tasted like it a month old rag. Chicken was small and dripping with grease. Chicken was dry and it looked like it had been fried multiple times. Don’t know how it got all the stars. Please be aware.

Ordered 14 piece original for pickup and got only 13 pieces consisting of 2 drums, 1 piece of... something, and what seemed like 5 big pieces cut in half and then battered and deep fried to make 10 small pieces. All squished into a small taped up pizza box? Chicken was not tender and bones inside were black over cooked. Very confused about the good reviews for this place.

Guys I love your chicken and I am regular customer but today I ordered online cause I’mSick and I received pieces extremely tiny it’s so disappointing for the price.. it should be the same portions you serve when one goes in person to the restaurant. 7 tiny pieces like in the picture are not $29 that’s is what I paid.

This place is on point. My new favourite fried chicken sandwich in town. Great flavours, chicken is high quality and generously portioned, good breading. The fries are also quite good (I’m not a huge fry person but these were on point). Well done.

Great for takeout. I got the large padak, and large is what I got. Fed 3 adults.I have eaten in before too. They have a nice retro old school diner atmosphere.Parking: Long stretch of free street parking. Not usually busy if willing to walk a few min from the village.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.

Wait, what?! That was my reaction when I received the bill after our delicious meal. This place is cheap and their Korean fried chicken is so juicy and crispy! The different sauces that come with it are definitely a must try! We will for sure come back when we visit Victoria BC in the near future.

Wait, what?! That's it?!?! Yes, that was my reaction when I received the bill after our delicious meal! This place is cheap and their Korean fried chicken is so juicy and crispy! The different sauces to go with it is definitely a must try! We will definitely come back when we visit Victoria BC again.

Ordered togo and tried their Chicken Katsu Curry. Nothing spectacular. Just ordinary with a small serving of rice and chicken katsu. It has eggs, and veggies on top. The curry sauce was on the side. For $15 the serving is small. Almost snack size. I placed my hand on the container for perspective. Disappointed.
