    "Tried Chicken Today for the first time and it did not disappoint. We got the AYCE bone‑in wing deal for $24.99, and every batch came out fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The staff kept everything moving and checked in often, which made the experience even better. Great food, great value, great vibes."

    Food and service were good. Only downside was parking spot. There's only one or two parking spots for this place which was very hard to find it's available during dinner time in Ktown LA. I might come back for food but thinking about driving around and finding a spot for parking I might not.

    My bf and I came to the boba shop that was here years ago. We were surprised to see a new restaurant had replaced it. We were with a group of friends (note: none of us are Korean) and couldn't decide where to have dinner so we chose this spot. There are plenty out here but the photos made this place appetizing and we didn't really want to walk further since we had a friend with a somewhat broken ankle with us. We walked in and were not greeted whatsoever. I read a fellow Yelp Elite's review and they mentioned that they also didn't get the service they deserve because they were not Korean. Very discriminatory. We had to basically wait a bit till someone else came out from the back, to seat us. It wasn't late at all, it was basically dinner time around 6pm on a weekend and somehow this place was empty. I can see why lol. She sat us in the very back since we kind of had a big group. Every time we had a question or something, the waitress seemed to just walk away from us. It's like they either didn't understand or ignored us? It was odd. We ordered our food which came out pretty quickly and it was delicious. Loved everything, even the fries which I was a little worried about. However, after the lady dropped off our food, not a single visit back. She was completely MIA and this place is pretty big btw. Seemed like she kept hiding in the back along with the other workers. We didn't have a single water refill and the food is spicy so we basically needed water multiple times and ended up sharing waters due to the lack of service. They never came back to check on us or ask if we needed anything else. Also, they only serve jjajangmyeon for lunch time, odd, but that's a thing I guess. Took forever to get to go boxes and even the check. It was unbelievable how much of a lack of service there was here. The food was very good but will definitely not be coming back. IG: @ammysalamii

    Fried wing platter

    I really like this place! What initially caught my husband and I's eye was the fact that they play the Dodger games with the sound on. It gives us a good reason to enjoy a meal while watching the game outside of our home. Today, we were quickly greeted by a young man who let us know we could sit wherever we'd like, so we chose to sit outside. The ambience is cute outside - they have fairy lights! He was also a great server. Super attentive! It's a chill place with good food. We got the fried wing platter which came with three flavors of wings, a salad, and pickled radishes. He even asked us if we wanted a refill of our salad and radishes. Overall I think this is a great little spot and I think they deserve more attention than they get. It's usually pretty calm every time I've come.

    Food was great, flavors hit the spot and the interior is quite open and spacious. The service was somewhat distracted especially for only two parties. Food did come out fairly quickly but we ordered the next rounds as soon as we got the current round. They provide a trash for bones and gloves to keep clean. The oil does penetrate the glove overtime so you arent fully protected but definitely nice to have! Super delicious and worth the AYCE value! They have a few parking spots for the restaurant on the side which is nice!

    This famous Korean chicken spot has finally arrived in the US and their first location is here in LA! They've been perfecting their fried chicken since 1977 and have since opened over 100 locations in Korea. Their chicken is brined for 24 hours to make it extra juicy and flavorful, and they also double-fry to make their chicken crispy on the outside but still moist on in the inside. Literally everything you'd want your fried chicken to be Service was great as they checked in on us frequently. Everything we ordered: --Onion Rings --Fried Chicken Gizzard --Fried Wing Trio Sampler (Fried, Spicy, Sweet Soy) great option for those who want to try different flavors! --Whole Fried Chicken w/ Garlic Sauce (trust us, you'll want more of the garlic sauce )

    I got the chicken wings here and they were very good! All of them were crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The ones coated in sauce were great, the flavors weren't overpowering and the sauces weren't too thick. I appreciate them giving us gloves to eat them so our fingers don't get too dirty. I also appreciated the radishes and ranch on the side, they were good compliments to the chicken. The vibes were also nice inside, great for eating and drinking at night with friends. It was also clean. The waiters were also attentive and accommodating when serving us. However, the one thing I didn't like was the sense of discrimination from two of the servers. We walked in nearer to closing time and tried to flag down some waiters, but they ignored us and didn't want to seem to serve us. However, I had a Korean friend with me and she started to speak to them in Korean and they spoke to each other saying "oh! She's Korean" so they proceeded to accommodate us which my Korean friend translated for us. Had she not been there, I feel like our experience would've been different and that kind of leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. My Korean friend mentioned that they might've turned us away since it was late, but since she spoke in Korean they decided to take us in. Aside from that, the food and vibes were good but I'm a little weary about how the staff would treat non-Koreans.

    Food 4/5: so crunchy! Honestly one of the best korean fried chicken I've tasted in koreatown, gotta try korean fried chicken wings and with sauce. You won't regret. But the whole chicken was a bit too dry for me. Service 5/5: good service and friendly staff Ambiance 5/5: looks like korean street bar very chill I highly recommend.

    Trio boneless fried chicken platter, comes with tteokbokki in each one as well as dips and sides and a salad.

    Loved this place so much we came back again but this time for takeout! We were able to order over the phone, had a difficult time communicating but we were eventually able to get the order right and it was ready once we got there which was great! Everything was packaged perfectly and reminded me of being in Korea as they sealed all the containers. We got the boneless trio again, rose tteokbokki and they even had a promotion with a choice of fries, tteokbokki or chicken gizzard so we opted for the tteokbokki again, really generous! The only downside is chicken today is far from where I live so the food wasn't super hot by the time we got home and I really wish I lived closer as I'd come more often for sure. The boneless trio was incredible and we wished we had ordered more, their sauces are to die for and the chicken is quality. They cook it perfectly and I love the fried tteokbokkis in the sauce, so unique and good! They did forget the salad which was a bummer as that's one of our favorites but they included all the sauces. I loved the spicy one but wish they gave us more ranch to dip with. All of the sides complimented the meal perfectly. The rose tteokbokki was really good and had a generous amount of rice cakes and fish cakes. We loved the meal and had leftovers which was great! Some really solid fried chicken and Korean food would highly recommend!

    Current deal!

    I wasn't sure what to expect going in but was pleasantly surprised with how chill the vibe was. We ordered the Original Whole Chicken, Fries, Rosé Rice Cakes and of course our beer, Krush (which pairs really well with saero soju or soju in general) I was amazed at how crispy the chicken skin was and how juicy the meat was inside. We enjoyed our meal with never ending comments on everything we were enjoying. A huge plus that they have a free deal with an order of a full size of chicken

    This place is great for delicious Korean chicken! The wings are very crispy and fully seasoned. The signature menu are great and we got to taste everything without ordering them one by one.l The vibe is lively, with sports on TV and a great selection of Korean pocha food. Free parking lot which is rare in KTown but the spot is very limited. I'm pretty sure if you wait for a while you'll find a spot.

    My friend and I came for an early dinner on a whim. No customers were inside. We ordered the 1/2 fried chicken, black bean noodles, and cheese corn. Funny when we asked our server if there were any veggies, she said no. When she brought the fried chicken, it came with slaw, but the slaw was not in the picture. The delicious white radish (surprise!) came with the noodles which didn't have an egg in the picture (another surprise!), but came w an egg. Even though the lunch menu was over, our server asked the cook to accommodate us, and it was. Our server was sweet, attentive and spoke with limited English. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. There's karaoke available in the back for later in the evening entertainment. Street parking. Will I be back? Probably not bc there are so many other places to try in Koreatown. The price is right though. Our total bill with tax came to about $40 for a decent meal.

    What I Ordered: Whole Fried Chicken ($25.99) Dynamite Corn Cheese ($31.99) Chicken Trio Sampler ($30.99) Soup Tteokbokki ($14.99) Food: My favorite was the Dynamite Corn Cheese, which came with fried chicken, rice cakes, corn, and melted cheese. I grabbed a piece of chicken, dipped it in the cheese, then dipped it in the corn, and it was an explosion of flavors in my mouth! The melted cheese helps the corn stick onto the fried chicken, which creates a burst of flavors. Perfect combination of spicy and savory flavors. The Chicken Trio Sampler was delicious as well, which came with three different flavors of fried chicken including Sweet Soy, Fried, or Spicy. I was surprised at how flavorful the chicken itself was without the sauce and the staff told me that they brine their chicken for at least 24 hours to make sure that the chicken is juicy and flavorful. The Whole Fried Chicken was great as well, especially with the garlic sauce. I love garlic so putting the sauce all over the chicken elevated the flavor profiles to a whole another level. All of their sauces are exactly the same as the ones in Korea since they import the ingredients directly from Korea. The Soup Tteokbokki is the perfect side item if you need some spicy foods to complement the fried chickens. Service: Staff were fast and friendly! I asked a lot of questions since it was my first time coming to this spot and the server was patient and thorough in answering all of my questions! It looks like all of the staff members speak both Korean and English, so it was nice to know that they would be able to cater towards everyone. Ambiance: The vibes are very chill and almost club like~ A ton of tvs and screen projectors around the walls so there's either games, or kpop music videos playing, which I love. They play Dodgers and Lakers games and they'll start giving free beers to those who wear the team's respective gear on game days.

The other one was some kind of sweet, cherry (?) jam thing that didn't go well with the chicken at all. It felt like it was just thrown in, and there was wayyy too much of that jam. Neither of us liked it. The whole meal wasn't worth what we paid for. Overall ambiance was okay, very dark inside contrasted by the tvs he had of kpop groups performing.

Happies is located in Arts District and I came here on a Sunday dinner and didn't have any problems with parking. But, I can see how it might be hard to find if you come during peak hours. The restaurant was pretty empty. First thing I noticed was that there were tons of employees but no one really said anything. Since there was no one ordering, they were all standing around. You can just order at the kiosk but I wanted to ask a few questions but was kind of left to fend for myself. I ended up ordering the chicken tenders and chicken tenders with salad. I thought the restaurant ambience was nice. And after waiting for about 10 minutes, my order came out. They gave me extra sauce but again no explanation on why the extra sauce was provided. As for the food, I thought the chicken was kind of bland. I expected some Sichuan style but hardly any spice on the chicken. Once of the sauces was a Sichuan chili crisp, which gave the chicken more taste. Maybe the chicken was bland because I was supposed to dip it in the sauces? Aside from that, the other sauces were average (ranch and sweet/sour sauce). The salad was definitely a huge miss. They didn't dress the salad properly and only put dressing on top, so I just got a bunch of romaine lettuce at the end. The best part of my meal was the fries, which was crispy and fresh. Also, the fries were pretty generous. I think that the food was just average. Probably will not come back here but glad I came to check out what the hype was about.

I'm thinking it was reddish added, but I'm not sure. Either way it was great and went perfect on the sandwich . I also got a side of their spiced up fries and, though I'm not a big fries guy, these are spot on. The chef that came up with this mix of spices and herbs, nailed it.

The slaw added a nice brightness and crunch that balanced everything out, and I appreciated the slight sweetness in the sandwich too. We also tried the tenders and were pleasantly surprised that they were made with dark meat as well. They were just as juicy and flavorful as the sandwich. Sauce-wise, I wasn't the biggest fan of the dill-forward ranch, but I loved the Coupe Sauce. It was very reminiscent of Chick-fil-A sauce and paired perfectly with the chicken. For sides, the kale slaw was fresh and vibrant, and the puffed chicken skin was a fun snack. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, though I was hoping for a little more punch from the cheese flavor. Of course, I had to try the cookie after hearing it won an award. It lived up to the hype -- great gooey-yet-crispy texture and very satisfying overall. It leaned a bit more vanilla-forward than my personal preference, but that's a minor nitpick.
