WARNING: RAW CHICKENOrdered the VONS spicy fried chicken wings. They were overdressed, breading tasted heavy and crumbly rather than light and crispy. Chicken meat was RAW around the bone. We took one bite and couldn’t even finish it. The sauce was spicy, but weirdly tomato-y at the same time. Definitely would not recommend an establishment that served raw chicken. What a waste of meat and $20

Coworkers always take me for "dusty chicken" when I visit. The honey butter chicken is super good. The server at this location is particularly nice as well.

I tried this place on a whim while walking past it. I ordered the fried half chicken. It was delicious! Crunchy on the outside (and stayed that way for a good time) and juicy on the inside. The person in there suggested that I try the spicy version and she was spot on. This was good fried chicken after a series of disappointing ones. I'm glad I tried it and so will you.

Nice little restaurant up Solono Ave. As first timers, we ordered the most popular chicken options at the server's recommendation with a side of kimchee fried rice. Food was fantastic. We got MILD, however it was still quite spicy. If you aren't a spicy food eater, order with caution. Will definitely go back & try some of the other dishes.

It was disappointing, overcooked hard dry and tasteless chicken. Rice cake was also very old and hard and tasteless. Prolly had been frozen for a long time that it cant get soft anymore and has cracks. It was really bad. Maybe it was a bad day for chicken, but please don't order rice cakes

Haven't eaten inside but have ordered for pick up many times. Every time the food has been packed well and on time. I always order my chicken with yangnyum (medium) with pickled radish. Really recommend.

This is our family's go-to place for fried chicken. It's always brined so it's got the right level of seasoning and juiciness!The pro tip is to get the Crunchy version if you're looking for a very crunchy fried chicken (get bone in drums). Alternatively, our second choice is the boneless Crispy, which is lighter and works better for boneless thigh pieces.The sauce can be a bit sweet, so suggest ordering the sauce on the side!

Good , it would be better if they asked me if I want white rice or purple rice up front.

The rice cakes were hard, dry, and cold :( unfortunately they were super disappointing

I've ordered from here quite a few times and was mostly satisfied.Last night I ordered Kimchi Fried Rice and Teriyaki Chicken bowls. I started eating the Teriyaki bowl and was I ever disappointed. The usual tasty moist chicken was not there. Instead, I got these overcooked, dry, tasteless pieces of chicken that were obviously old and hard and NOT fresh, as if someone had them laying out for a few days. The chicken was more like chicken jerky!! Not a good sign. When I dug to the bottom, I discovered wet, soggy purple rice. It was like mushy oatmeal, not fluffy rice, yet another disappointment. You couldn't even tell it WAS rice.This was pretty disgusting and I'm hoping the Kimchi rice won't be bad.I don't believe in restaurants having "bad nights." Food should be consistent, no matter which employee prepares it. Continuity is what makes me return to food establishments. Employees should know not to serve sub par food. Just tell me you're out of items instead of serving me this old, funky chicken.
I ordered ahead for sweet potato fries for pickup here. The fries were good, though didn't particularly stand out; the price was okay given typical prices nowadays for it, but still would've liked a larger portion of it or for it to be a little crispier and more flavorful. This shop mainly features fried chicken, but has a handful of sides available.

I've only ever had their bibimbop, but it is outstanding, with so many delicious ingredients like egg, kale, edamame, carrots, quinoa, and sprouts. I always get it with the spring mix as the base, since it is super nutritious. For protein I recommend salmon or tofu. I just learned that they can mix proteins, so I tried tofu and seaweed. So tasty! Highly recommended.If you order to go, they use packaging that keeps the base and protein separate from the standard toppings, which is nice if you want to mix it yourself. If you eat in they have a few small tables, but don't expect more than a place where you can sit and eat.

Was craving some crispy fried chicken and decided to try this place. The garlic one is covered in garlic sauce so it loses crispiness, but still tastes decent though. Spicy regular is the very crispy and not too spicy, which was exactly what I was looking for!

Would definitely recommend for the amazing fried chicken and side dishes which never disappoint. The service is also genuinely some of the best around.

I just dug into this food that was ordered and it is so delicious and it was very filling and it wasn't overcooked and I was really happy about that because I hate it when people mess up a good rice. I had the kimchi rice where it's already assembled in a bowl with a protein on the top my protein was egg and tofu. My beautiful wife Had the works bimbap which had bulkoki in it. We sure need to bars I had a few bites of urgent a few bites of mine and we were both very very pleased with how it turned out. Not only were the vegetables bright and fresh and not overcooked the rice also as I mentioned was perfectly done and still had a certain amount of fluffiness left to it even though it's a kimchi rice. I would also say that the flavors were very close to being true Korean as well and on the side they gave us some guchujahn hot sauce. The portions were just the right size to make sure that we're gonna have a little bit to nibble on later on this evening after we watch our movie. It's always fun going back instead of having a the next day. It's a it's a very small place so be prepared to not see many tables and most of the businesses I believe take out. But they do a good business there.
