    Chicken Katsu
    Yousef M.

    I ordered the chicken katsu, surprisingly price was pretty affordable - only $11.45 for plenty of protein. It was served with coleslaw on the side. Chicken was very delicious and crispy, although I do wish they added more katsu sauce, definitely make sure to ask for extra on the side. Service was amazing, staff are super friendly, and you can also order drinks from the connected bubble tea shop to your table! Overall, experience was pretty great, there's plenty of seating around and the vibe is relaxed.

    Its been said that Korean fried "chikin" has a rich and fascinating history. Some say its roots can be traced back to the Korean War in the 1950s when American soldiers introduced fried chicken to the locals. How much truth to it? I don't know however this chikin is fire. I've ordered pick up however never sat in. The ambiance and staff seem welcoming and the décor is a modern feel with orange and white color scheme. Food/ Prices 4/5 I appreciate the combo style wing dings with two full dummies', that's a different offering you typically don't get in other chicken spots. I ordered the Combo $17.10 half and half plain/ spicy. The spicy was Spicy which is a hit or miss other places, its not MN nice spice. lbs. The other combo was $17.10 half/half spicy and Soy garlic- it was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. The fries were a bit greasy for my taste however they gave you a mountain of them. Reminds me of Five Guys- to the overflow. lol . Overall 4/5 Great spot, Chikin, and backstory!

    I have ordered take out from here but never dined in. Went here with a friend and we were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It was not busy at all so we were asked to sit anywhere. Service was prompt and very friendly. I have gotten the fried chicken, which is excellent and have tried other things on the menu before so I decided to go with something different this time. Ended up getting the bibimbap with bulgogi which was very disappointing. Nothing like any other bibimbap I have had. It was mostly rice and the egg was already cooked like an Omelette and cut into strips. It didn't come with any sides so I had to order a side of kimchi. My friend got the chicken katsu and she really liked it. She also got an order of pork buns which she loved. I have had the pork buns before and they are delicious. Next time I'll be sticking with what I know is good from here.

    We went here on a lark for a quick lunchtime snack. The place was spotless, the staff was friendly and prompt. the food came out quickly. We ordered the pork steam buns, pickled radishes, and the Karaage. They were all super fresh and tasty. I will totally be back to try other offerings. They also had someone coming around offering the Mochi donuts from Te'Amo. Those things were amazing. this place is right next door. I ended buying a dozen, because I couldn't help myself. those are my new favorite sweets right now. If you are in the area, it is completely worth it to stop by and eat here.

    Amazing fried chicken. I was full and I wanted more! Soy garlic and hot were the flavors I ordered and they didn't disappoint. The food came out quickly and the person serving me was very kind and courteous. I will definitely be back despite my doctor telling me to steer clear of a lot of fried food

    The soy garlic chicken wings. Great crunch and very tasty!

    Hadn't seen this place yet and decided to give it a try! There is plenty of parking in this area. When I walked in, I was greeted by 3 people right away! The menu is hung up on the wall but I found it hard to read with the lettering being so small. They have a ton of the menu just sitting on the counter :) I went with what they are so popular for... The chicken wings! I tried the soy garlic and it was pretty tasty! Great flavor, crispy and salty! It comes with coleslaw or pickled radish. I don't like either of those, so I can't say if they were good or not. I took my order to go, but this place did have seating. It was bright and modern! It would be a great place to bring friends or even a date! I'll definitely be back! Everyone was very nice!

    A great addition to the neighborhood as the area was lacking Korean fried chicken. It has your standard menu, I only wish they had more sauce options for the chicken. Overall the food was good, service was okay, and the interior is lacking but still a good casual place to eat.

    Foods okay but dine in service is horrible! 3rd time I've dined in and same horrible service. Servers barely speak English. The bulgogi dish does not taste like bulgogi and they put more onions than the beef. Not worth your $19. Only thing that known for that place that's is the chicken, which tastes good!

    Took my daughter to go try the wings. This place reminds me of bon chon. They have similar menu and sauce for the chicken. Wings are always good. Toppoki was good too, sauce wasn't too spicy. There were alot of people inside waiting for togo orders, I didn't know what line to stand in. The guy asked me if I wanted to dine in or pick up, I said eat here and he lead us to the table. Restaurant is new and clean, they have a big waiting area for togo orders. Big parking lot since the restaurant is located in shopping area.

    I'm really glad Korean food became more popular after the Korean Olympics! It is nice not having to drive 30 miles to enjoy.

    Ready for some delicious chicken and fried rice :)

    Was a takeout order and was very good. Definitely on par with other Korean fried chicken I have had. They were prompt and let me know exactly how long my order would take. A good experience and good food. Looks are very basic and was nice and clean.

    Nice seating and no pretense.

    Stopping in for another great meal! Wife really enjoys the tteokbokki and I lean to the taco's. I know their Fried Chicken is awesome, but this was a taco night for me. Friendly staff and the restaurant is very clean and welcoming. Playing some catchy music, sounds like something they play on the Korean shows my wife watches. Large tables and plenty of seating. Normally Im a take-out guy, But I think I'll have to bring the wife in next time we are out and about. The food is always fresh and delicious. I know some people get snobby about their preference of how the food is different from someplace they've visited-get over your biases and just enjoy the food! Nice to have good food close by here in North Metro Best to enjoy what we have and keep it here. Thanks Chi Maek!

    The chicken looked sooo good this is the only picture

    The Korean fried chicken is on point! Light and crispy skin with juicy meat. The soy garlic sauce is more flavorful than others I've had at other Korean chicken places. The hot is definitely hot with that great lingering burn (you know you love it). Service was quick and staff was great! The owner stopped by to chat which was a nice surprise. Highly recommend - will probably be back this weekend

    Dry chicken. Horrible taste.

He told me back then that someday we needed to check out J&J's. We love small business, local, non-chain restaurants. I decided to surprise my husband and take him to J&J's for Father's Day. We are empty nesters, so it was just the two of us for lunch. We arrived just after 12 p.m. There was a line out the door, which we expected since it was Father's Day and Sunday lunchtime. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which we had no issue with. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes because there was a table available on the patio. The weather was beautiful, and with summer being so short in Minnesota, we like to take advantage of it whenever we can. Our server came to our table shortly after we were seated, but it was long enough that we both had time to decide what we wanted before she arrived. I ordered the Texas Philly, and my husband had the brisket sandwich. We had to wait a while for our food, which we understood given how busy the restaurant was. Others around us were complaining about the wait, and those tables had a different server who was very apologetic about the kitchen being backed up. The hand-cut fries were piping hot and seasoned perfectly. It's so rare to go out to eat and get hot fries, let alone fries that are piping hot. That alone was worth the wait! My husband loved the brisket sandwich, and the Texas Philly was SO good--piled full of meat. We live in the south metro, but it was well worth the 30+ minute drive to get there. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend J&J's to others!

I would think even after saying I think we are going to leave she maybe would have said I can see where they are in the kitchen with the order but no. Just a big disappointment. Used the restroom on the way out and they must have pissed someone else off with all the toilet paper thrown around, a lady saw me taking the picture and I said this is not cool and told her o=how we never even got food, she said someone's burger and drink was on their tab and her husband almost paid it. This place needs to get their act together. We likely will not be back. I see my post from 2023 and had a bad experience too, yeah, I think we have given them enough tries.
