The best Korean fried chicken!!
gourmet food, nice service
Definitely worth a visit. Looked up this teams’ experience after and it made sense. Absolutely delicious - I won’t spoil things here as they like everything to be a surprise. But there’s smoke, some of my fave ingredients, land, sea, depth of flavors, and lots of variety.
