Giving this place a 5 star review, because I think it deserves to be more of a 4.3/5.0 than a 4.0/5.0. The Nashville sandwich was pretty good, and the touch of adding Korean radish was an excellent spin. However it could have been better executed. Basic fried chicken was alright, the batter was very crispy but there was like a half inch thick layer of batter so it didn’t let the chicken truly shine. Overall a pretty good place though compared to other places in the area.

Oh, I got so bad stomach after having their soy chillie chicken. Yesterday and this morning.If you’re not used to spicy food, PLEASE AVOID SPICY MENU THERE.

This is a really great Korean barbecue restaurant located right in Santana Row. I love the availability of beer, the great chicken and menu, selections, and the friendly surface. The restaurant is also very open with indoor and outdoor seating.Generally, the menu has Korean food. But it’s more limited to Korean fast food such as things like Korean fried chicken “with many different sauces” but also beef bulgogi. I think you can generally find something for everybody at this restaurant. Everything we tried was amazing.The service is fast. Once you sit down, somebody usually immediately attends you and takes your order right there. After about three minutes of sitting down, we already had beer, and the food was being made. We spent about 30 minutes here tops.I would say this is more on the casual side for Santana Rowe, but for the price and the great food, it’s hard to beat. When we were walking around, we wanted something that we didn’t have to wait too long or pay too much for. This was great for that.The service here is really friendly, the restaurants are really clean, and the food is great. Definitely worth stopping by if you like Korean fast food.

Love Korean fried chicken and this place is…decent. Wish they were open late night like Korean places on El Camino. The food gets better as they have been refining their menu over the months so they’ve come a long way since they opened. I would like to see how much they continue to

Loved the ambiance here. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings. The chicken was delicious. We tried the butter flavor and the original. I liked the butter flavor the most. The curry chicken was quite unique. If you want some rice, I would recommend that. 10/10 for the service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time here.

The fried chicken tenders were good. Rice kimchi has the right amount of spiciness to it. The place is in a great location and it wasn’t that busy when we dined in.

Came here on a weekday night. We were the only people in the store. It looks new and clean. We got there right before happy hour ended and asked if we could order off the menu, to which there wasn't one besides hearing a verbal discount on beer. They were out of the two Asian beers, only having an IPA and Flat Tire. Since our original choice of Sapporo was not available, we spent time thinking on it a few minutes longer, then we were charged with the non-happy hour price after ordering the Flat Tire lol. My friend and I got the Signature Three Flavors. We asked how many pieces it came with, which 18-24 was said. We got 17 pieces lol. The flavors sounded good on paper (sweet and spicy, soy chili, and original. Not only were none of them were spicy, but the sauced ones were overly sweet and sticky. It doesn't have umami, depth in flavor, nor an addictive quality you usually find with Korean fried chicken. Also normally for fried chicken, you'd get a flat or a drum, but they had a lot of small, awkward chunks of chicken that had less meat than both wing and drum. I think it was some kind of joint but I did not enjoy this shape/pieces of chicken. I'd drive a bit further along nearby El Camino Real to find better chicken. Overall, this was sadly mid.

Cool spot. There's a lot of potential here, but we went on a Saturday and the fry oil was wayyyyy overdue. The chicken ended up having that stale oil flavor. Servers were nice and Santana Row on the weekends is definitely a vibe. I'll give them another shot in the future probably. Flavors were decent, but I just couldn't get past the old oil flavor this time.

Located in Santana Row, seating is limited during peak hours. The flavors had a good variety covering both spicy and not spicy. I really like the honey garlic. The sweet and spicy was also very good. The kick wasn't overwhelmingly strong. The original though was quite bland and seemed to be on the dry side. Tap to pay is not accepted. I have to say though the experience here is amazing. You're given plastic food gloves which were an absolute godsend. It makes the chicken so much easier. Overall, Left Wing is a great place. I had an awesome time.
