Best KFC I've found. I have tried pretty much all the Korean fried chicken options throughout San Diego County and beyond and Gala continues to be my absolute favorite. What ever they put in that spicy sauce recipe is seriously addicting. Have to also mention that the people who work there are always friendly and provide great customer service.

It’s my favorite chicken place! I definitely recommend this place for fried chicken ?, especially the spicy flavor. It’s more of a sweet and spicy combination, so I really enjoy it even though I'm not good at eating spicy food. Also, the fried chicken tastes like old KFC chicken, with various herbs evident in its crispy exterior and moist interior. I highly recommend the original taste as well.

This chicken is so damn good and addicting that i suspected that it had crack on it. As a recovering addict, i know how addicting crack is. All joking aside, this the best damned Korean fried chicken in San Diego. Them other places in Kearney Mesa serve fancy beer and a bunch of other BS to poison your pallet before they feed you their wack@$$ knockoff Korean fried chicken. If u a man bun wearing kinda person, it's all u. But as a real person with real tastebuds, this place beats them all. The other day I was kinda mad cuz I always order the whole chicken with spicy sauce and it came with 3 legs and 3 wings. So I had to google what a 3 winged 3 legged chicken looked like. It turns out they just hooked me up and gave me extra cuz these people just good like that. P.S. their chicken definitely doesn't have crack in it. I know cuz I smoked it and didn't get high.

I ordered a whole chicken, but it was missing the larger breast meat. What the heck?

I wanted to get the drumstick meal with 2 sides of macaroni salad instead of 1 side of Mac and 1 side of cabbage salad. The lady told me they can't do that. Bad business! The chicken looked good but if you aren't willing to work with the customer then why should I give you my money?

Wow! This place serves up chicken like I've never eaten-in a truly delicious way. It is fried, but the coating is so crusty and light, I could have eaten twice as much as this big portion. Flavorful and tender, I dipped a couple of pieces into the sauce, but found myself completely satiated eating the chicken bare. The macaroni salad and side salad with a thousand Island style dressing added plenty of sweetness, while the rice served balanced the platter of goodness. This cafe is inside the Zion Market. Parking lot Tables or takeout. I bought a coffee at Paris Baguette in the same food court, and a Fanta in the market to add to the meal

I ordered the katsu fries with chicken cutlets and I have to say I was blown away. The sauce was delicious, the chicken perfect amount of tender and crispy, and the fries were nice and think to help deliver more sauce per bite. Will be back for more!

Got the fried chicken wing meal. Chicken was crispy and great flavor. Third time here and consistently good every time. Great customer service!
At lunch time, I stopped at this Gala Chicken inside Zion Market. It was not too bad. I understood that the food prices rose.

Amazing Korean chicken, some of the best Korean fried chicken in the area! Try the sweet chicken because it is more moist, the original chicken is a bit dry. Plus, I love their logo—reminds me of the Okinawa rail!

I love their chicken.I'll occasionally head over to Zion just to get their chicken, and I can't get enough. Not too crispy, not too soft, but just the right blend, with good flavor.The owners are really nice, respectful and seem like they enjoy what they do. Definitely one of the few small businesses I enjoy supporting!
