Amazing fried chicken, would recommend both flavors.No service to speak of since there's no option to dine in. Ambiance is also nonexistent, I only order to pick up or delivery as the part of the city it is located in is very sketch.

My friends and I have ordered from this place many times on Doordash but never have we been to the restaurant. We usually get one of the combos that consists of Korean fried chicken, kimbap, and fries. The fried chicken was delicious and packed with flavor and crunch! Kimbap was decent and fries are fries. From ordering dishes at Aria, I can say that everything has exceeded expectations!

I decided to give Aria a try but I have to say I was disappointed. The minimum order is 10 pieces of fried chicken, far too much for one person. I asked if I could get 5 pieces, no go, no can do.So then I ordered an order of fries. Seven dollars plus for a regular sized order, with no warning or mention that the fries would be dripping with a sweet sauce. WTF, who does that to fries!!. Okay fine if that's the food style, but the server really should have warned that the default preparation included sugar. And it's not as if it's even an interesting sauce that happens to be sweet ... it was really just sugar. The combination of the unwillingness to sell less chicken and the lack of explanation about the sugar doused fries means that I'm done with this place.

Was craving kimbap and this fit the bill but be warned you are in the Tenderloin! There's a small window area to stand and eat quickly but definitely recommend getting this food delivered. Such a rough area. We ordered via app and just ate there quick. Had the fries that were so good. + egg Just sodas no alcohol.

These weren't really my type of taste, but they are very well made and flavorful. My family loved them. I did like the taco with chicken and guacamole in it!

I love Aria! It's one of my favorites on Doordash. I usually do delivery, but earlier this week did stop by to do a pickup to visit it for the first time. It's like a hole in a wall that's a pick up only. I didn't see any outdoor seating, but in any case, for Aria I'd much prefer to take out and eat on the go or at home.They always package their takeout well, with staples on the brown bag, and is exemplary in making sure they 10pcs Korean Fried Chicken, includes Sauce on the Side. Love this for a non-messy and very crunchy fried chicken.10pcs Gangjung Fried Chicken, includes sauce. Love this for having a very flavorful slightly spicy sauceBulgogi Kimbap. 2 rolls of maybe 8-10 pieces. The seaweed-wrapped bulgogi, rice, with the radish and carrots just mesh well perfectly. I love having this health option.Bulgogi Fries. Bulgolgi over thick French Fries with sauce on it. This is one of my favorite drunchies to have. This is also very filling, so you can order just one box of these and be full. So I think is a steal for under $15. Definitely must-try!While there may seem to be limited options, each one that I have tried so far did not miss and were super awesome. Definitely a regular here!

No frills - find their menu using a QR code, walk up to the window and get your food in a throw-away container. Was a LOT of food for the $. I got the "10pcs Gangjung Fried Chicken (닭강정) - Sauce on Top" - could only eat half of it. Came with a choice of sauce - I got the Sweet & Spicy with a side of Chipotle Aioli. The sauce was too small, IMO. Overall, it was tasty, and I might go back to try more.

This is my favorite place for Korean fried chicken in the Bay Area! I always get the fried chicken paired together with the bulgogi fries. I've had both the sweet & spicy and the garlic soy flavors and hands down, the sweet & spicy wins. If you like to control how much sauce there is on the chicken, get the non-glazed which comes with the dipping sauce, but since the sauce is what makes it so good, I prefer just getting it glazed. This place is always on my to visit list whenever I'm in the Bay Area.

It is in a neighborhood I would not walk after dark, but it is board daylight and we were in the Union Square area so we decided to give it a try. We in general love street food. This place was ToGo only with an upper half of a door opened for pick up. We got Bulgogi fries with an egg on top $13+$1 and the 10 pieces gangjung chicken $14 with the white sauce on the side. I got the white sauce because people were raving about it on the reviews but we found it totally tasteless, definitely would not get it again. The chicken reminded me of the Chinese Peking ribs. The Bulgogi fries were soggy by the time we got home to eat, tho the taste was decent. It is nothing special enough for me to return.

Ordered doirdash fries and 6 pc mandhu cold and old, fries not even worth $7 plus its like half order i guess thats why they have happy hour so they can give less and claim they gave you 25% off for old and cold
This place is the bomb!!! All the food here is bussin'! I'm super impressed with their fried chicken, it's crispy and flavorful & great for sharing with friends.My favorite item on the menu though has the be the kimchi fried rice; they just do a really good job with it and it's great to it by itself or with other dishes. I also tried the bulgogi kimbap, but wasn't that amazed. It looks stunning, but I honestly wish they had different types with other fillings. But that's just me, I'm not a huge fan of bulgogi. Although, I'm pretty sure others would enjoy it.Overall, would definitely recommend Aria!!! It's perfect for takeout and really hits the spot.

Building was nice, surrounding area sketchy: Food was amazing. Got the three homies korean tacos, and bimbap. Super good

Order the garlic chicken with sauce on the side and Kimchi. Portion was huge. I feel it could have been split between two people, especially if you are having sides. I couldn't even finish half. My job ordered from here and I was happy that the chicken stayed crunchy through delivery. Would recommend.

Full of flavor and huge portions. My typical go-to order is the bulgogi fries, kimbab, and korean (boneless) fried chicken. This feeds a family of 4, sometimes for a couple days, that's how generous the portions are. Ordering is best done online, but they do also take orders at the door. Their customer service is great! Always friendly and never have to wait too long for my order. Parking is a challenge but double parking for a few minutes doesn't seem to be an issue. Lots of doordash pick ups do the same.

The have Employee shortage... You have to wait extra 15 min... Dine in is not open yet... Other than that all good
