The chicken is so good and made fresh to order. It's hot as hell but I would rather have that than mediocre chicken. Juicy on the inside crispy in the outside just like how it should be! The self serve kiosks are great! Not that I don't like talking to people but it enhances the Korean experience, if you know, you know. Appreciate how hard the guy works and effort he puts into the food, also very nice with a huge smile on his face. The food definitely reflects his efforts. Will return with more friends and family next time. Thank you!

I ordered for pickup way ahead of time and it was ready for right when I scheduled it. I ordered the 16 piece wings with 4 different flavors which was the following: -Sweet and Mild -Soy Garlic -Magic Spinkle -Yum Yum (on the side) -Magic Spinkle Fries Once I entered the store, the ambiance seemed quite laxed and chill. There were enough tables and chairs around for a bunch of groups of friends to sit and eat. The way to order seemed quite anti social. There's 2 ordering kiosks and what seemed to be one manned register. I think there was only one person working there but he was in the back the whole time unless I called out for him whenever I needed anything. The cost per wing was around $2 per wing which is just about the average cost for any other Korean Chicken. In terms of the chicken and breading, I really liked how the chicken was cooked. It was juicy and savory. The breading was very crunchy with a lot of batter around the wings. In terms of flavor: ‐Sweet and mild was my favorite out of the 4 -Soy Garlic is a classic and tasted how I expected it should -Magic Spinkle was an interesting taste. It was like a sweet cheese flavor. My least favorite out of the 4 but still good. -Yum Yum: they put the Yum Yum sauce on the side and had plain wings served with it. The sauce reminds me of a mix of condensed milk and ketchup. Kind of a savory and sweeter sauce. I much rather the plain with a tiny dip of Yum Yum. The Fries were not my favorite. It was not that cripsy and the Magic spinkle is not something I would put on my Fries again. It was overpowering and I like plain fries instead. Overall: 4/5 Food 3/5 Service 4/5 Price

Food was 8.5/10 and service was 4/10! It was my first time trying this place and it was pretty good! We had 16 pcs of chicken with 4 different flavors. It was Magic Spinkle, Original with Yum Yum sauce on the side, Sweet & Mild, and Soy Garlic. The chicken was juicy, tender, and delicious. I thought the size of the chicken was pretty big and it was very filling! I had a hard time trying to finish my third piece, but I managed to try all the flavors! I do recommend eating with friends or family because it is a lot. If I had to rank the flavors it'd be Magic Spinkle, Sweet & Mild, Soy Garlic, and then Yum Yum. The magic spinkle was a cheesy powder with what tasted like a hint of citrus. The sweet & mild tasted like sweet chili sauce. The soy garlic tasted salty and garlicky. Finally, the yum yum sauce tasted like the sauce for honey walnut shrimp. I also had their Magic Fries. It was good, but nothing over the top. It tasted more sweet than cheesy. I think the powder is better on the chicken than the fries. Although the food was delicious, I thought the sides that they gave were small. The size of it was like the size of a dipping sauce. The coleslaw was okay. It tasted like KFC minus the cabbage being really minced. I felt like the ratio between radish and chicken was off. I usually consume a lot of radish with the chicken, but I felt like i had to really portion it out. The service was okay. When we went in, it was empty and there was no one at the register. I feel like they should add a desk bell or something so they know there's customers in their store. They also had two kiosks available if you don't want to talk to the server. The server was friendly, but not as attentive as I thought they'd be. We ordered for pick up and we ended up eating in the store. The table was wrapped in a cloth which was very interesting. It's a nice way to keep things clean, but I wonder if they replace after use. Their bathroom was questionable. There was a vacuum and other things in there. It didn't feel sanitary. Even after all of this, I would go here again to try their other items!

We ordered Noori Chicken on a recent trip to SJ for a show, and after a late nigh out, we were just too tired to go out for food. GrubHub to the rescue! We ordered 16 pc wings and some kimchi fried rice. BOMB! We chose Magic Sprinkle and Garlic Soy, and both flavors were amazing! The wings were MASSIVE! These are pterodactyl wings!!! Not the same as other KFC wings we've tried, these had a heavy coat of breading but were still good. The kimchi fried rice was a generous portion, but overall, it was a pricey delivery meal at over $60 before fees! The GrubHub delivery left much to be desired but that's not necessarily Noori's fault, but I figured I'd mention it since they probably hear it from customers...food was dropped at the lobby with no notice and no response from the driver, so it just sat there for 20 minutes before I went down. Grrr.

Just happened to find this place recently, and I finally had a chance to pay a visit. The prices are above average, but the quality is great! It's made to order! The fried chickens are always fresh and juicy! They have 7 different sauces to choose from. I had chili soy. The spicy level is above their medium level, but not overwhelming. I tasted a tiny spoon of hot and spicy sauce, it's on the spicy side, but not bad at all. That's what I would try next! If you work nearby, and if you have an urge for K(orean) F(ried) C(hicken), this IS the place to be. They have soju in the fridge too! Will definitely be back for more KFC!

We ordered the jumbo wings - 24 pcs for 4 people! It came with up to 6 sauces, which was perfect for us to try, as it was our first time. The wings were HUGE, it reminded me of what BonChon wings used to be. The wings were crispy, and the batter wasn't too thick! Our favorites were Magic Sprinkle, Chili Soy, and Soy Garlic. We weren't big fans of Supreme, Hot & Spicy + Sweet & Spicy. The sauces were on the sweeter side, and there was so much sauce the wings were no longer crispy. I definitely would recommend to order the sauces on the side & toss it in when ready to eat! We also had a side of onion rings, so good! The batter was crispy, the onion rings broke off perfectly when you bite into it (doesn't pull out the whole onion in a bite), and not too oily! We will be sticking to magic sprinkle, soy garlic, chili soy, and onion rings for our next order!

Best chicken wings ever! They are delicious and juicy and BIG! I recommend the chile soy or the garlic soy but all of the flavors are delicious!
The food is fine but the way this store operate really bugs me. You walk in and there's no cashier. You have to use the kiosk to order, which is no problem. However, you get to the end and hidden with the tax is a 67 cents "service fee". I don't know why I'm paying this fee is but I also don't appreciate it being hidden along with the tax.

Literally the best KFC in the Bay Area. I spent money on a lot of food and I eat chicken probably 5-6 days a week. This is the spot and service is great. Really good I think I could have this as my last meal
