I placed an order on Google for a drumstick box which says it contains 7 drumsticks. The bag felt pretty light but I didn’t think much of it until I opened the box and it only had 5 drumsticks. Thinking it was a simple mistake, my husband called the establishment and explained the situation, but the owner just said that it’s been 2 months since they updated the menu to 5 drumsticks. I placed an order on Google through Chow Now which it’s says it’s a preferred method by the business and they should have updated the menu accordingly. I would never have spent $18 for 5 drumsticks. I will never go back.

Impeccable. Fantastic. Bussin'.You haven't had fried chicken like the Korean Fried Chicken served here. It definitely rivals American Southern Style.The food is so good we ordered some to go right after our meal. A great choice for Sunday night football or a guys night in gaming. Ladies, I don't know what y'all do.I got the Red Hot Pepper Chicken. The heat slowly builds while you chew, but is mellowed by a light sweetness at the beginning of every bite, making you want more.My girl got the Lemon Green Onion. The touch of citrus went really well with the mellow sweetness of the sauce leaving an almost fresh taste to a fried dish.Caring, enthusiastic and energetic Owner followed by kind and attentive wait staff.Seriously, homie is all over the place (in a good way). Behind the counter and at the table face to face; his interaction with us was comical and heartwarming. He went through the whole menu (large selection) and explained the varieties of fried chicken, recommended sauces, and alternative dishes if chicken ain't for you, nerds.Vegetarian options: I think it's hilarious to recommend a fried chicken restaurant to vegetarians. So yes, please come here.There are some options for y'all but not a lot. Mostly potato related items, cheese dishes if your diet allows it and Korean pancakes (savory). Seafood?Sincerely, good luck.Parking: It's a ducking mall dude. There is plenty of parking. To be closest, go off of Hawthorn Ctr. Northern side of mall.Google maps itKid-friendliness: Very understanding and patient staff to otherwise undeserving patrons.Cute kid running around, wrong place to do it though. Unbothered parents, specifically an entitled mom who says "oh, he's fine" until he slips and bust his head or breaks the expensive ? service robot they have.This lady had the huevos ? to give the dude attitude when he points out the kid chasing down Mr. Roboto and then is at the shop exit. She said "maybe we'll just leave" ?Bro, this is not "your village", it's a fried chicken chateau ?, raise your damn kids.Wheelchair accessibility: Yurrr. Y'all can roll up easy once inside. They can move some chairs aside. I got no smoke for y'all, I don't wanna get cancelled. But we can all agree we don't like vegetarians.I'm just kidding, grazers.

Wow!!! Best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Definitely bringing everyone here!

Fun, fast, and filling. This hide-away Korean gem is past the discouraged place of hawthorns food court. We were entertained and educated to our menu. We ordered appetizers, garlic chicken, ramen and lemon grass gimbap. I loved the Korean street food theme and the food speaks to exactly that nature!! No stuffy atmosphere, or typical food court grab. It’s the perfect spot with actual fulfilling eats. The dessert we sampled, a simple vanilla scoop with adorable mochi bites ? Simple yet delicious. I hope to return and try the frozen persimmon.I had an enjoyable meal at the mall. Definitely happy to see others related to the experience, and hope to see this place be a more cemented staple, for those to come and try for themselves!!

They are the best. Their food and service are great.Nothing has changed since it opened. It would be great if other places are like them. This location owner is very responsible. Most of time he cooks by himself. Maybe that’s why their food quality has never dropped.
