We went to this restaurant based on all the good reviews. We ordered a 14 piece set of chicken for $29.99 that was really just 7 chicken wings separated into 2 pieces. To me, this restaurant is ridiculously priced. I thought the 14 pieces of chicken would be enough to feed our family of 5.It is confusing as there are actual options on the menu that specify chicken wings but this option just said 14 pieces of chicken, which usually means an assortment of pieces, like dark and white meat. Nope, just 7 chicken wings cut in 2. We also ordered other things, including a chicken set that came on a heated grill. We have never used this type of grill before and didn't know they turned it on high. So by the middle of our meal, everything had burned and charred, inedible and wasted. Our server did not bother to tell us to turn this off or how to use it or even turn it off for us. The owner came by and noticed it was all burned and said oh, its burned, don't eat that. Great. Yes, you would think that as the owner he could have helped a bit more as we explained to him that we did not know how to use the grill and that is why it burned Our server also forgot to get us utensils when we asked for another set. One of the worst places we have ever eaten at in terms of getting what you pay for.

Ordered takeout with a desire for good fried chicken. DONT GO HERE. Menu online said 10 pc chicken or 7pc available. There was also a SEPARATE area on the menu for chicken wings. We did NOT order the chicken wings we ordered the 7 piece chicken. We RECEIVED 7 chicken wings at the cost of 19.95! They were plain, okay in taste but for about $3 a wing I was flabbergasted (and I’m from hawaii - used to the prices). When I called thinking it was a mistake they told me it was correct and said we raised prices sorry. Ridiculous. I recommend NO ONE goes to this place.

My friend and I shared the big chicken plate and some shrimp tempura and were pretty full after. We're definitely going to come back often because it's nearby both of us and it's a chill atmosphere for us to catch up. Looking forward to trying other dishes next time!

Delicious! When I visit LA several times a year I always make sure to stop in Koreatown for a meal and the food here at The Chicken Factory rivals that (a definite compliment in my book!).

Phenomenal Korean food and drinks, and a fun laid back atmosphere. Get your Korean fix here. My go-to restaurant when I’m in Honolulu

Owner, Staff, and Food are fantastic! Great place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere with friends and family. Can’t wait for their new restaurant opening in Aeia!

Great staff and upbeat atmosphere, food was so delicious! Some places get good reviews, but you go in and the food is only so-so or a big disppointment, but not this place. Will for sure go back to the Chicken Factory, and bring some friends next time for some drinks and so that they too can enjoy the deliciousness.

Their spicy sauce is bomb!!! Fried wings are good. Calamari was disappointing, all the batter came off.

I think this is a Korean kind of vibe...that's what the people who brought me here Said... anyway the food was good and different from my normal...I like the experience cause I'm into this vibe... temperature check to get in and they are really clean when the tables are done being used...they have a bar here as well...give it a try
Fantastic family style Korean Chicken, as well as all sorts of other foods like top snail and Kahuku Shrimp for fantastic prices. Always a great time with friends. Recommend a party size of 5-8.

This is some of the most delicious chicken that you will have in Hawaii. The fried chicken, chicken and cheese, and even their soups are fantastic. The dining room is a younger more vibrant vibe. Great place to go with friends to have a beer and chicken.

This is a great Korean hang! We found it by accident and will be back. The food is great, the service was excellent and friendly, and the music was good! Great place to hang out with friends and drink.

Man, I thought I was eating some of my Auntie Nana famous chicken. This place will run the Colonel out of business.
