    Stumbled upon this place on Yelp, it's only been for around 2 months. There wasn't many reviews but thought I might as well give it a shot given the positive remarks. Turns out, this is a place you do not want to miss out on. It's a small inside with only 4 seats and 2 tables. I decided to dine in. Ordered Chili Sauce Chicken to test the waters. You don't get a cup of water, but if you ask, you'll get bottled water. Not a big deal. The amount of chili sauce given on the side is ample. The chicken was crispy outside and soft on the inside. It's paired with fried rice with peas, carrot, and egg. Chili sauce adds plenty of flavor, but do be careful if you can't handle spice. The portion is also massive. I ate half of it, and still had a full bowl left for dinner. Price for the dish is $11.99, which is pretty insane value. You'll probably want to take this to go, though, given how small it is inside, but definitely show the restaurant some love. It's a hidden gem for now.

    Placed a phone order. No lie, the chicken was sooo good and the macaroni salad was amazing. It was only 10.87$ you can't beat the price. I highly recommend this place.

    Fried Chicken with Pad Thai

    My husband and I saw the "Now Open" sign outside the shopping plaza and decided to stop by. I'm so happy we did! As soon as we walked in the gentleman at the register was so warm and inviting, he informed us that they had been opened JUST FOUR DAYS! We ordered the "Fried Chicken with Pad See Ew" and "Fried Chicken Pad Thai". Both were so flavorful 10/10 The portions were great and it was affordable. My only concern is why didn't we come sooner! Will be returning 10000/10

    Food was so good and not greasy! Been going since they open. Fried chicken is so juicy and delish.

    Chili Oil Chicken

    Found this on Google and what caught my eye was the "wait after ordering". Normally you'd get food fast and it might not be great too quickly. This place has great food and a large portion for a price I find good value in. We ordered a 6 piece Wing and a Chili Oil fried chicken. While waiting the owner was super nice and offered us a sample of the Fried Chicken Thai Salad. Honestly I should have ordered the salad for my health. Fresh fried chicken and a clean Thai salad that helps to cleanse the palate. If there was a con, you cannot really sit and eat here. They have a table for Tom Yum but this is more of a take out or eat in your car. Overall, I am happy I found a nice place that I will be considering for future fried chicken orders.

I always love soy garlic and its a generous portion. The meat is white and dark so pretty tender and not dry. Lemme tell you, i dont usually eat all my fries but these were AMAZING!

I wont deny the place looked a bit empty and kinda run down but everything was clean including the bathrooms. Id definitely come back i felt it was reasonable.

They're so good that I'm willing to make the trip down to MPK from Walnut just to get their wings! Not a large store but they do have a few tables if you decide to eat there. Best to eat them fresh and hot if you have a chance. We typically get a combo meal which comes with fries, radish or cole slaw, and a drink. Their lemon pepper chicken wings are my favorite of all Korean fried chicken places. So glad his location is still somewhat close to me.

It seems like its a family restaurant, which the cashier was very kind and welcoming to us! We were also the only ones in the store. They don't really offer free water here, but luckily she was able to provide water bottles for us! We ordered the half crispy and half soy garlic flavored chicken. The soy garlic was actually very nice! I did enjoy that the most. The skin was also very crispy and crunchy, the chicken itself was very juicy. The chicken here feels like it's on the smaller end, but everything was still pretty good. I wouldn't say it's authentic Korean fried chicken, I feel like they're just missing the mark of the Korean flavors, but it does taste more like Korean inspired lol. I also wish the radishes weren't small cubes and wish they were bigger cubes. We also got calamari as well, this one was also pretty nice to have. Overall, the chicken here was still pretty good! We were well taken care of as this was our first time visiting. Tables were clean as well. Not too much seating, but it doesn't seem that popular either. One of the local places to support!

    Stopped by on Sunday, 05/17/26 for the first time at this location with my boyfriend (we had 2…read morecoupons and wanted to use it). Ordered the following: - 1 Elysian Space Dust = $7.75 - 1 Bottomless Appetizers (up to 2 at a time) / we got mozzarella sticks, queso dip with chips, (added chili for an extra $0.70), and fried pickles - 1 triple bacon burger = $19.49 (FREE IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A MEMBERSHIP) - 1 6-piece wings (got the lemon pepper seasoning) = $15.49 (FREE, MY BDAY FREEBIE) SUBTOTAL = $21.44 TAX = $2.25 OVERALL TOTAL = $23.69 OVERALL, WE SAVED $34.98! SUCH A GREAT DEAL! The bottomless appetizer is also a great deal since it is unlimited!

    i'm surprised at how bad the rating is here, it was packed when we came in (albeit at 6:30 on a…read moresaturday). the unlimited appetizers deal is great, i'll admit the kitchen is a bit slow but they were probably backed up and nothing took an egregious amount of time. we tried all four options on the "classic" ($12.99) version of the deal: mozzarella sticks, chips and queso, onion rings, and fried pickles--you can also get chips and salsa but i'm not counting that as a separate option. quick ratings on the apps: mozzarella sticks aren't ever my favorite, but these are only really good imo if they're just out of the fryer--my partner had 11.5 though so maybe just me. chips and queso are good, some chips were a touch greasy but most weren't. i think the queso should be served hotter, but it was tasty. also note we were charged a $.60 upcharge for the "chili queso" even though we just ordered regular queso. easy to see how misunderstandings happen given the menu evidently has "hatch chili queso" (green pickled chilis) and "chili queso" (american chili with beans). the very kind server offered to remove the charge from the menu when we asked about it, just want people to be aware when ordering. the onion rings are really good, even for someone who usually prefers panko-crusted to battered. the fried pickles were perfect, crispy, tangy, perfect temp.

    The food was unfortunately mediocre. We ordered 16 wings with four flavors: Korean Fire, Soy…read moreGarlic, Snow Cheese, and Salted Egg. When the wings arrived, they looked noticeably different from the photos, so I asked the staff member to confirm which flavor was which. She initially told us that one of the wings was honey mustard--something we did not order. When we pointed that out, she changed her answer and said it was actually the salted egg, even though she had just said it wasn't. The flavor still tasted like honey mustard, not salted egg. The Snow Cheese also didn't resemble cheese in taste or texture; it was an odd wet sauce with no real flavor. The only flavor we enjoyed was the Korean Fire, which was a simple sweet‑and‑spicy sauce. The chicken itself was decent, but the sauces really took away from the overall experience. The ambience was minimal. The restaurant was empty except for me and my fiancé, the walls were plain white with a single chicken‑themed light, and ordering was done through a screen. Only one staff member appeared to be working. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

A banger. Juicy, crispy, the kind of bite that makes you briefly forget student loans. The batter? Chef's kiss. The wings? Eh -- they're okay. Edible. Not writing home about them, but not writing a complaint either. Solidly meh with a side of 'I've had worse.' Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room -- or rather, the absence of the elephant. Because when my combo arrived, the fries were MIA. Just a sandwich, two wings, and a can of Coke staring at me like a sad diet plate. I had to ask for them. Like a beggar. Like fries were some secret menu item you need a password for. The storekeeper's excuse? 'Fries are not on the order.' Sir. Ma'am. Human being. The description literally says fries. The picture on the menu shows fries. I'm holding a combo that includes a drink -- you think the Coke just volunteered to show up? Is this your first day, or are you testing my patience as a side hustle? To their credit -- they did bring the fries later. Warm, salty, forgiven. But only after I played detective with my own order. So is it good? Yeah, it's good. Is it drive-10-miles-out-of-your-way good? Absolutely not. Unless those 10 miles are downhill. With a tailwind. And someone else is paying for gas. And the grand finale? Almost $20 for this plate. For that price, the fries should've been delivered by a tiny bicycle and handed to me with a bow. Great sandwich. Decent fries (eventually). Mid wings. A cash register that clearly thinks I'm funding a small nation. And a 10-mile radius that I will not be expanding for this again. Monday, indeed.
