Amazing food, lady there is very sweet. The wait and price are very much worth it. The drivers in that area are the worst I have ever seen.

space.

The Korean fried chicken was dangerously delicious, and the side dishes of kimchi, pickled radish and fried potatoes were a nice touch. Will be coming back ASAP!

The small Korean fried chicken is a great size for one, exactly what I was looking for on a Friday night. The quality of the meat was good, and the sauce really hit the spot.

Food here tastes so amazing, I’ve tried their Korean fried chicken and rice cakes with noodles, the chicken is always absolutely delicious, definitely the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. The rice cakes and noodles were so delicious, perfect amount of spice and a good sized portion as well. I will definitely be returning! :)

Good place! The restaurant has a small and homey vibe to it. It’s run by a Korean family and they are really sweet. The fried chicken is tasty and I forgot the name of the other dish but it’s the one with chicken and rice. Sauce is not to my liking but the chicken and rice was tasty I enjoyed the meal. I recommend it! Pricing is okay.

I regret not eating from them SOONER, my local friends said this place was infamous but I took a chance today. got the half n half, the delivery person took 25 mins cus he had a couple stops to make (ubereats) BUT the chicken was incredibly Crispy and it was cooked soooo beautifully like so juicy and moist n tender soft. Unexpected for a boneless cut. Whenever I get fried chicken delivered this is unlikely and my afterthought is “huh would’ve been better at the restaurant” but, oh boy,this was different. I just want to relive the first bite. The sauce was spicy yet the sweetness perfectly recovered you from it. Glossy. Loved how there were a couple fries thrown in. (Also crunchy !), The originals were bit bland like I was left wanting for somthing but still incredibly good just dipped them in a lil salt n leftover drippings of sauce. The pieces in the middle that were half saucy and half original were absolute bliss haha. Overall I really recommend this place or atleast their fried chicken! Irresistible. Generously portioned too could feed 2 hungry people. Or 1 glutton (me).

This restaurant has steadily deteriorated over the years. The portion serving sizes were way too small, no wonder why they didnt have any customers, It was also way too expensive compared to other restaurants in the plaza. The only redeeming factor was their fried chicken but tbh seoul soul offers similar quality for lesser the price. I think this will be my last visit.

Went to this place for the first time for dinner with my husband. We ordered the spicy rice cakes and the half-and-half fried chicken plate which came with the regular fried chicken and their sauced chicken. I thought we would be able to choose the sauce, but it only came with their standard sauce. The food came out fast and was made fresh. The rice cake dish was good. The chicken was tender and well seasoned albeit a little bit too saucy. The side dishes didn’t come until the chicken came which I thought was weird. We had gotten a medium chicken plate and it was more than enough food for my husband and I. Before we finished eating, I realized that at some point we were the only patrons in the restaurant. They didn’t play music or anything so we just sort of sat in this awkward silence as we ate. Typical to a lot of Asian restaurants there wasn’t really any service and when I wanted a refill of water, I didn’t want to speak out into the silence so I shared some of my husbands.

Got fried chicken and jjajangmyeon, food tasted good but portion sizes are small for what you pay for. Service is a bit slow.
