Was looking for a good chimek place, and this fit the bill. Called to make a reservation , pretty easy. The restaurant is small, but clean and well decorated. All the dishes we had were great, and the fried chicken was perfect. Definitely on the pricier side, but can't complain for the quality.

Coming back from Seoul I was really excited to eat fried chicken here and it didn’t disappoint. The chicken was so crispy and the sauce flavors were really good.

Wanted jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and got it here. Added a little salt to taste and it was great!!! They also have bulgogi Kimbap (beef roll) which is a plus but the meat was slightly smoky tasting, but still tasted amazing! The restaurant was full of Koreans which is a good sign. I’ll have to come back and try some other dishes.

Wanted to try this new place and ordered the black bean noodles. It was pretty bad and watery sauce, its just not authentic noodles and maybe some of you guys might like it because there aren’t much choices around here. Its like a family run restaurant and I do want to support small businesses, but at the same time the food has to be up to par. The corn cheese was just gross with a thick layer of cheese and overly sweet with sugar. Just try to improve your recipes and hope you can do better.

I enjoy Korean style chicken because it's fried the best. I live in the area so I thought I'd give this place a try. I ordered the spicy and honey wings with the glazed potatoes. The chicken was fried to perfection but the flavor was lacking. The spicy option had a nice sweet note but there was little to no heat/spicy. The honey just was a miss the glaze from the potatoes was used for a booster. The potatoes weren't really glazed but soaking in a sweet syrup. Overall it's I wouldn't be in a rush to try this restaurant again but I would like to try other flavors and options to see if I made the wrong purchase. Thanks

As usual the service, food, and everything was amazing. They are so nice and great with customers. Even when they’re busy they treat everyone well and don’t let it get to them when they have to quickly turn over tables to sit the next party.

Fried Chicken, Spicy Chicken, Stir-Fry Chicken. Pollo Pollo is a Korean restaurant specializing in Korean style fried chicken, but also has a variety of other kinds of chicken dishes on the menu. My wife and I ordered fried chicken and a spicy chicken dish, and both were delicious. The fried chicken was light and crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. and was very tasty. The spicy chicken had good heat, but not blow the top of your head off. As is common in Korean restaurants, it came with a variety of small side dishes. One thing that is important to understand about the menu is that some of the selections are very large portions, probably intended to serve the whole table, not just an entree for one. We had lots of leftovers!
