Great food
Best best best chicken....korean chicken bomb fire tasty
The biggest chicken wings I’ve ever had - will be back to taste the spicy hot wings! Btw the inside of the restaurant is super clean and nice which I appreciate.
Really impressed by the chicken here. I would suggest trying at least one of your two sauce choices on the side so you can get a true taste of the batter. It is delicious, juicy, and so very crunchy this way. I tried the soy garlic which was nicely garlicky, as well as the spicy (hot) which I had on the side. The spicy sauce reminded me of samyang noodles sauce a bit. The cabbage salad is an excellent pairing and the pickled radish was sweet and a great pallette cleanser. Definitely a recommend. Friendly service and warm nice dining area. Best KFC I have had outside Korea so far.
Excellent Korean-style fried chicken from a local spot. We’ve ordered takeout a few times, and are always blown away by the fries, which are the crispiest crunchiest tastiest fries around!
In terms of wings - also delicious and crispy. All 4 flavors are great, though I’ve found some variation in the heat of the “hot” chicken (sometimes pretty mild, sometimes too hot for me).
Sides include “salad” which is more accurately described as a slaw with sauce on the side (but is delicious).
Atmosphere is good for a mainly counter-serve spot. Love the “chicken on fire” legos!

My family and I can never get tired of eating here. We used to eat here everyday, and now cut it down to be a special treat. Dining in is always nice because there's beer, but if you're on a go order online and pickup is easy. Large soy garlic, sweet potato fries and onion rings are our go to. The pickled radish and house salad side dishes are great too. You cant go wrong with anything you order here.
No matter how busy it is here, Diane and staff always make it feel like home. It seems like I haven't been there in a year, but Diane has a great memory. As soon as I walked in the door she was already walking to the back to bring me my order. Very nice touch!

Staff here is very kind but the star of the show is the food. The wings are great and larger in size than most places. It also looks like the San Francisco Chronicle mentioned this place is one of the best stops in the Bay Area for wings mentioned along hallowed restaurants such as San Tung.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food - fried chicken is decent but overpriced, and it became soggy quickly. Salad and rice sides are very bland. No substitution allowed.Bad management policy - if u order ahead by phone, they refuse to let you eat it in the restaurant. The cashier/server shrugged and said it’s “manager policy”. Ok fair, but they should tell u ahead of time when u order.Service - what’s that? It took 25 min to get food. Faster to kill a chicken and cook it myself if you count the driving.Overall just get the impression that they DGAF about giving customers a good experience in any way shape or form. Kinda reminds me of those angry mean Japanese chefs in movies, except this place is far from being good enough to pull it off.

Went in at around 6 pm on a sunday evening, ordered their small combo plus a ranch since it doesnt come with any dipping sauce and paid about $20. Was quoted 15 minute wait time and didn’t receive my food until 45 minutes later. Also, a couple who came in and about ten minutes after me got their food first so maybe they prioritise dine in orders before to go orders? Got all wings even tho i ordered the mixed combo but it was ok i guess.
