Dangerously addicting.

Unbelievably juicy and tasty. Never had chicken so tender and juicy that it was overflowing from the first bite. Wonderful depth of flavor, skin has a pleasant crisp.

Tried both Original and Yang Nyum, both were a delight. The Yang Nyum has a sauce profile which brings a mild heat that harmonizes well with the sweetness of both sauce and chicken, while original has a tender crisp bite, with batter that isn't too thick or hard for that perfect mouth feel.

Wings options if you love more sauce/crisp to meat ratio, drumstick if you prefer more meat to sauce ratio, mix if you landed on the fence with one foot planted on either side of the grass.

I was just in for a few days and was looking for some good food to eat while traveling and I found this during my research. They have great customer service and the food comes out hot and ready to eat. No complaints!

This place was so yum! I went with a friend and we ordered half a chicken and some bulgogi and everything tasted amazing. The staff were really sweet and the vibes were fun! I loved the music going on the TV. Will definitely be back!

I had a half order of the Maip Dak chicken, side of kimchi, and a side of rice. Everything was delicious. The chicken was made to order. It was juicy (not greasy), generously breaded, and crunchy despite being drenched in wonderfully spicy sauce. The kimchi was at the perfect point of fermentation. The portions are generous. With the sides I could have split the half order with somebody else and been full. The service was great, and the restaurant is clean.

My only complaint is based on personal preference: the sauce was a bit too sweet.

This is a decent fried chicken place — nothing too special, but it gets the job done. The chicken was good, though not particularly memorable. If you’re looking for a quick, casual meal, it’s an okay option.

The ‘go to’ spot for Korean fried chicken and other Korean bites in the Monterey Peninsula. Just moved here from the Bay, been here three times and easily five stars.

Consistent. Miyazaki music in the background and cold beer. You will enjoy this place.

I just went to this place, and it was awesome! The service was super friendly, and the food was insanely good. We ordered the K honey Chicken and Galbi, and both were so tasty. Everything was packed with flavor, and the chicken was perfectly crispy and tender. Overall, I had a great time, and I’ll definitely be back for more!

Extremely rude demeanor for no reason

Great service in this small diner that has great Korean food. Check out their appetizers like a corn dog that would be street food in Korea.
The portion sizes are large... You've got to love this chicken.

I love this place and always look forward to going there with friends and family. However, this last time I went, we felt rushed. My friend and I weren’t done eating yet and the server kept coming by to see if we wanted boxes. We told her not yet, but a few minutes later, she still brought them. At the end, my friend was waiting for restroom before heading out and some of the servers were just standing there waiting for us to leave. Not a great experience this last time. But food was great, as always.
