Great place! I’m Korean-American, so I grew up eating Korean food. This place does a great job of finding creative and delicious ways to use traditional Korean ingredients! Restaurant was very clean and modern, staff was friendly and wait time was reasonable. 5/5 will be back!
The restaurant has a nice vibe and the staff was friendly, but the chicken didn’t live up to expectations. I ordered Korean fried chicken hoping for that signature crispy crunch, but it came out soggy and lacked the texture I was looking for. The flavor was decent -I got the doubledunk—but the consistency really took away from the experience. Might give it another try in the future, but for now, it was just okay.
Another great dinner at Basic Bird for dinner tonight. Double dunk is still my favorite but we tried the sweet potatoes and the spam gimbap as new items. As always, BB did not disappoint. Thank you for recommending having the sauces o the side for my SIL and for the ribs. they were delightful. I wanted to be the glasses guy so I could throw my glasses after a bite.
