Decibel Korean Fried Chicken

Stopped in today for an epic flavor experience. Ordered the gochujang tenders, Korean fried corn dog, and the bulgogi beef egg rolls. It was my first time trying any of this and let me tell you it was all incredible! The breading and sauce on the chicken was an absolute flavor blast, and the egg rolls are on a whole other level. I was especially excited to try the Korean style corn dog and I was blown away, it was world's different from your standard corn dog. The flavor, the presentation, everything about this experience was amazing. I highly recommend checking them out! We will be back to try Esoteric Brewery which Decibel is located in

Do not order through the "preferred" method on Google. You will be charged but your order won't go through on their end. It's happened to me twice now.

I am in town for work and ordered via Uber so I can't speak to the service or atmosphere really, but I greatly appreciated the automatic inclusion of flatware given that my food was not all handheld.

I had the Korean corn dog, a side of white rice, and a side of the marinated cukes. I wanted the drumsticks, truly, but was not gonna be able to eat that much.

The corn dog was something I had wanted to try because I've never had one. The breading, the actual frying, the sauce, everything was incredible. I feel it would be much better suited around a less processed center like dark meat chicken than say a hot dog, but hot dogs are so easy on a stick. I would eat the outer shell served as it is, alone. I didn't notice the potatoes at all, and I didn't care because it all combined to create something great.

The cucumbers were fine. They were very fresh, lightly flavored, but not so much distinctly Korean.

My main complaint is that the white rice was so bad. They expressly state "Korean white rice," with Calrose which is a fairly fancy brand of white rice. But the preparation was wrong. Instead of hot, sticky, slightly sweet, it was... more congealed, without being mushy. They let it sit in the water too long before cooking it, and/or used too much water to begin with. I'm inclined to rate it 3 stars due to this most basic staple being botched, but that's more a personal point of pride as an East Asian person.

I'm sure this place is worth giving a try.

The setting in Esoteric Brewery makes environment really nice. The spicy Korean BBQ tenders were very good. The Korean rice with pepper flakes was terrible (and was told I couldn't exchange). Very low likelihood of returning based on customer service of cashier

I’ve now eaten at the location in. Norwood and Walnut Hills and the food was consistent at both locations and SO GOOD. The mozzarella stick is amazing. I had 2 in the last week.

Not impressed at all...mediocre at best. The wings party wing size and the food is made to order so your food comes out hot. I had the spicey flavored wings and my husband had the BBQ flavor. The BBQ flavor tastes nothing like BBQ. My spicey wings had good flavor, not spicey at all. I have had better Korean fried chicken.

If you love a crunchy piece of chicken perfectly and evenly coated in a wet batter this is the place. Pictures don’t do it justice. Their wings are giant. Everything is big. Coat it all in the Gochujang BBQ, great sweet and spicy sauce. Good fried pickles, real crunchy. This place definitely has my favorite egg roll, it’s FULL of beef. Always quick, even cooler now that they have dining in the Esoteric bar! Check them out!

Very good. Perfect combo with Esoteric beer. Honestly the best drumsticks I have ever had in my life. I can't wait to get them again. They serve waffle fries as well, which were also very

Great food and abundant portions. Would love to make the Gochujang BBQ spicier. The cucumber side was yummy. I would ask for extra sauce and dine happily here.

I wanted to like it so much more than I did. The chicken was just a little bit too dried out. The rice was ok, but just a little overcooked. The sauce wasn't spicy enough.
