Got take-out today, no one in-line, 5 wings combo. Hotsome Chicken used to be my favorite spot but it's been closed lately so I'm giving the Toreore a try again after so many years. I ordered the sweet and spicy, typical Korean flavor but this time the skin was not fried, crispy, or crunchy. It had the texture of someone boiling the wings and then slathering the sauce on top. Very slimy. The food was edible but it's not what I wanted. I am unsure if it was because I got the 5 piece wings that they gave me underwhelming korean fried chicken but their chicken used to be incredibly crunchy and delicious.

Absolutely ridiculous. First off we ordered a 14 piece and they gave us only 13 pieces. Second off, the counted these small pieces as part of the 14. See the pictures of how small the “pieces” are. They have no meat and are smaller than my hand. Absolutely ridiculous for almost 30$. Quality used to be good but not it’s horrible.

Garlic chicken was very good however the sweet and spicy was so salty and tasted like ketchup. Took a little longer than expected to make but the costumer service is good.

Nut allergy friendly! I've had several flavors of the chicken to go and it's always been fine.
We generally order the Hot & Spicy Chicken and the Fried Crispy Chicken. Generally 4-7 pieces per person is sufficient, especially if there are sides.
I really like the care they have in have a steam vent flap in the box. That helps prolong the crispiness of the chicken.
Unfortunately, the Hot & Spicy does not travel too well. Even a 15 minute drive leaves it less crispy than desired, due to the amount of sauce involved.
On the other hand, the Fried Crispy Chicken travels very well and maintains a nice crispy crunch even after 15-25 minutes of travel.
A pretty solid option in the grocery food store!

This place is extremely popular in H-Town to get your Korean fried chicken. I've tried so many places but they're not as good as this place. This is the best Korean fried chicken joint by far.

Been here in the past. Quality of the chicken tasted different and they seemed smaller than before. They were still good. Between Dak and Bop, I would have to say D&B because of the crisp of their batter and larger. The chicken here at The ToreOre was cooked fresh. Takes about 17 mins, but it is worth the wait because they come out nice and hot. Presentation is very nice as you can see it's nicely boxed and tied with a ribbon. The flavor was good and chicken was moist. The pickled radish is always a nice touch. The Chai Tea smoothie was not very good unfortunately. It lacked flavor and the ice had a weird texture.

The wait time was worth it. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The presentation of the box it came with was a nice surprise. If you're ever at this H-Mart, give ToreOre a try. Won't be disappointed.

The chicken was fried perfectly. Very crispy and tender at the same time. The sweet and spicy sauce was juicy and delicious as well as the fries. Friendly staffs as well. Highly recommended!

Im a avid Korean chicken eater and i have to say this is the best place i’ve had in a while. My local wing place by me closed and i’ve been looking for another worthy contender and this definitely competes. Everything is fried fresh right when you order and it shows. I got the sweet and spicy and my friend got the normal fried chicken and they were incredible. Not only were pieces great sizes for the price, they were crispy and had so much flavor. The box it comes in as well has pickled radish, gloves, and napkins. The sauce is flavorful and you can tell the chicken was made with care. I can say this 1000 times but The ToreOre is miles better than BBQ chicken. If you are ever in H-Mart or even in the area you have to try this place. For me it was a 25 minute drive but i would drive 1 hour for this. I’m excited to go try more on their menu. 10/10 fabulous!!

We are going to the H mart for a long time now. This time we wanted to try the food from the restaurant inside the H mart.
The ToreOre is one of the restaurants inside H mart. From here we ordered a Fruit Mango Tea. It was good but little bit too sweet.

I heard that the owner has changed, so it's been a while since I tried it. It's really delicious, just like the food I had in Korea.
Be sure to try it

I tried it before and the chicken smelled so bad that I stopped eating it for a while, but then I heard that the owner had changed, so I bought it after a long time. There was no chicken smell and the seasoned chicken tasted like the seasoned chicken you get in Korea. The seasoned chicken was delicious, but the fried food was really delicious!! The kids loved the soy sauce skin. I hope the taste stays the same! I enjoyed it :)
