I grew up in Korea and still visit there often. I’d say they are as good as or better than ones that I get in Korea - more flavorful and juicier. My favorite is their Galbi boneless chicken.
I'm the type of person who never leaves reviews, but this is my first time leaving a review... I'm so angry... Please don't ever leave. I couldn't eat and threw away my money. The worst Korean restaurant I've ever experienced in America. Surprisingly, the photo was taken as soon as it was opened without being touched at all. Chicken hair on the chicken stick... I couldn't eat it because it was so unhealthy. president!!! Do you have a conscience? Are you paying me to eat something like this? Do you ever delete bad reviews? I placed an order based solely on reviews and ended up throwing away my money.

If you want no-frills, DELICIOUS Korean fried chicken, this is the place. Happy we found a go-to K-fried chicken spot!

Tell me why when I first opened the delivery box of galbi boneless chicken and stabbed what I thought was a French fry with my fork, I literally did a chew double-take and removed the tteokbokki from my mouth because my taste buds were so thrown off from what I was expecting. I really should’ve known better, but I’m accustomed to seeing tteokbokki drenched in a gochujang based sauce, so they deceptively resembled fries. To be fair, from this experience, I learned they taste way better dry and seasoned, but I digress.
Onto the main part of the review…
As I’ve written in a couple other reviews this week, I’m “researching” the best Korean fried chicken spots in San Francisco to determine which to order from for an upcoming Friendsgiving. I looked up a ton of options in the city and narrowed them down to a shortlist of 3 spots, this place included. A few things I examined to create my short list were varieties/flavours of chicken, quantity to price ratio, other customer ratings, images of the chicken, and proximity to my neighborhood or deliverability to my friends’ neighborhood where the Friendsgiving will be hosted.
When I took the first bite of K Soul chicken, I knew I’d found a winner. I’m very particular about KFC having spent the last few years living in LA and Orange County, home to copious dedicated KFC restaurants. K Soul’s chicken tastes the most similar to my favourite spots in SoCal. It has the perfect texture and crunch, the meat is neither dry nor greasy, and the umami flavor is on point. They’ve created a perfectly balanced KFC, and that’s why I’ll be taking this to Friendsgiving.

We tried the Galbi Chicken (delicious sweet and savoury flavour) which came with Korean rice cakes and picked radish. A great bite after a cocktail in Harper and Rye just over the road. The man (possibly the owner?) who served us was very nice.

Amazing k fried chicken and kimbap, best I’ve had in SF and it doesn’t break the bank. Highly recommend!
I recently tried something like this in Arizona only in this place they also serve Korean BBQ, wings sandwiches and rolls. We only did the dogs today, our favorite was the combo. Well be back to try the chicken sandwich and rolls.

A best K-chicken place! Five stars on its crispy and tasty chicken wings?I highly recommend yang nyum (#2) chicken and tteokbokki. We ordered yang nyum, garlic jalapeno(?), sweet and galbi chicken(all half sized) and tteokbokki. We are five people and realized that these are too much portion for us?

Been to countless of wings places on the east coast and west coast but this by far was the best place. We got the garlic jalapeño and Yang Nyum flavors— both were amazing. Perfect amount of sauce and wings were made fresh. James was awesome, he gave us taste samples of both because we were unsure of the flavors. Service was top notch, really nice people. I will 100% come back if I visit California again.

Good food, nice sit down experience. Their “mild spicy” is barely spicy at all, unless it was a fluke batch. Delicious!
