    Yuzu chicken wings
    Tina L.

    The space is clean with plenty of tables, and the service was great --they kept checking in on us. Everything made fresh to order. Honestly, a half-size chicken is the perfect portion for two people to share. Coleslaw is good but the cabbage pieces are cut pretty big. Yuzu flavor is incredibly unique with a bright, punchy yuzu sauce. The breading not too thick, not too thin. If you're dining in, I highly recommend getting the sauce mixed in rather than on the side. It also comes with a side of that crunchy radish. The Original Half Chicken is tossed in a delicious gochujang and gochugaru-style sauce, but don't let the red color fool you--it's actually not spicy at all. We also had to try the Soy Garlic Half Chicken. Flavor-wise, the soy flavor is definitely a bit stronger than the garlic. Kimchi Chicken Sandwich worth the price for its size! It's built on a lightly toasted, buttery pretzel bun. The sauce is a complex blend of hot, sweet, and sour. While the base sauce isn't as fiery as I expected, the fresh jalapeños inside definitely bring the heat. The kimchi pairs perfectly with the chicken, the pickles add a great extra crunch, and it hits all the right notes: spicy, salty, and sweet. It's a tiny bit on the salty side though. Overall, fantastic spot for lunch/dinner after stopping nearby a cafe.

    Kimchee Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is one of the best things I have ever eaten.

    Kimchee Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich is one of the best things I have ever eaten! Saucey, pickle-y, crunchy, spicy, deliciousness in a pretzel bun.

    We went on May 7, 2026 and Daniel took care of us. He was so nice, amazing, and such a good worker. He was outstanding and did such an amazing job helping us. We had to take content, and he was so patient, kind, and helpful the whole time. You can tell he really cares about the customers and the people he works with. He definitely deserves a raise!

    this is a great place to stop by if you're craving some chicken! we came after the world cup finale and were starvinggg so we got a ton of food. soy garlic fried chicken: 5/5 - my favorite out of everything that we ordered. i loved the soy garlic flavor and the chicken was super plump and juicy. ct chicken sandwich: 4/5 - the cashier recommended this one, and i really enjoyed the crunch of the chicken. ct fries: 5/5 - absolutely inhaled these. the sauce was a great flavor and i really enjoy a balance of soggy and crunchy fries. army stew: 3/5 - my friend and i love this dish so we ordered it, but honestly the portions aren't that crazy for the price. the soup flavor didn't stand out to me and it just tasted like ramen. i enjoyed the sausages in it, but would recommend getting the chicken at this place more. this was my friend's favorite dish though. charbroiled angry chicken: 5/5 - i brought this home to eat since we were already so full from the other food, and it was still amazing as a leftover! i like the slight spice, and its a solid rice bowl with a decent amount of protein. there was a ton of seating in this place, and it was a nice roomy spot to get food. the parking lot is pretty small. all the staff were super kind, and the cashier was ready to offer recommendations.

    Service was good . Food taste and quality was very good ! The restaurant itself is very cute and was extremely clean . The only problem here is the parking as it is very limited. I would definitely recommend and i will definitely be back.

    Have been meaning to come to this place for over a year, I'm so upset I put it off for so long. I had the Kimchi Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious! The chicken thigh meat was perfectly fried. The cheese sticks were fine, those were nothing too special. But this is a chicken place, and the chicken was GREAT. Loved the taste of the kimchi and pickles with the slightly spicy fried chicken. The service was great too, told me it would take 10-15 min to cook, and it did. Made sure I didn't need anything else when the food was delivered. Answered all my questions when I ordered. Downfall, not very much parking at all. And I cannot speak to the sides yet, YET.

    We were craving Korean fried chicken so decided to come here. We were greeted immediately when we walked in. The restaurant is pretty spacious, very open and clean. The server answered all of our questions about the menu and also recommended some things. We decided to order: Half chicken soy garlic Half chicken Original Kimchi fried rice Army stew Gravy fries Special fries The food came out pretty quickly and OMG it did not disappoint! The chicken was very well sauced and still had a little crunch. My daughter really loved the garlic soy and my favorite was the original since it had a little spice to it. The french fries were also very flavorful. The army stew came with spam, sausage, rice cakes, and ramen. It was warm and comforting to eat! Overall, i give this place 10/10! I can't wait to go back!

    Chicken was really good and a good place to bring the whole family. We ordered our chicken and tried 3 of their dipping sauces and loved the spicy and the garlic one the most.

    Chicken place obviously that serves fried chicken as well as chicken rice bowls. I'd stick with the fried. I had the wings and they were fine. The bowls weren't really that good tho. Service was order at the counter and they bring it out which was good. Plenty of seating and clean.

I started with an Old Fashioned drink, which was solid - strong enough to pack a little punch but still taste good. We ordered a few appetizers - the Korean Beef Frachos were especially good and the Brussel sprouts were very solid. With so many appetizers, I went with a Caesar salad and two soft tacos (shrimp and fish). The Caesar salad was good and healthy sized, so I could share with others. It was a typical, but good, Caesar which didn't have anything fancy about it (no anchovies, egg yolk, etc), but nothing was really lacking either. Both soft/street tacos were good, respectable in size and very tasty. Other people in our party got burgers, goat cheese salad, chicken sandwiches, and everyone seemed very happy with their meals. Service was friendly and casual. Our server was the one who really recommenced the Frachos, which was a great call. I've been to Eurekas before and always been satisfied. I'd probably rate the typical location a 4-star experience, but this one seemed extra friendly and the food I enjoyed more than I expected, so a solid 5 star experience in my book.

It ended up being a really nice place to relax and enjoy a good meal. I tried the Bacon Candy, which was probably the most memorable item. The bacon was sweet, slightly spicy, and nicely caramelized from the brown sugar. I had never really had bacon served this way before, so I thought it was very creative and surprisingly addictive. I also ordered the Chuckwagon Flat Iron Steak, and it was excellent. The steak was flavorful and nicely grilled, and the smoked chili butter and crispy onion straws made it even better. There's also a Lazy Dog near where I live, so this wasn't my first time dining with them. What impressed me was how consistent the quality was. Even while traveling, the food and overall experience were just as good as what I'm used to back home. Lazy Dog has always been very consistent for me, and this visit was another good example of that. Comfortable atmosphere, good service, and really solid food. I would definitely come back again.

    Everything was good EXCEPT the STEAK.. No... Seriously…read more This was probably the biggest steak disappointment I've had in a while. The place comfy, the ambience is dark and bar-like, the drink vibes look chill, I have no complaints about the service. The service was good and the staff was nice. All this makes the steak disappointment that much worse for me. We ordered Ribeye and Shrimp Salmon Lobster Mac and Cheese Asparagus Lobster Roll (Sushi) A drink from the bar The Steak.. The steak came served on a cast-iron skillet. I ordered it medium-well. It arrived a little more medium than usual, but that was not an issue. What disappointed me was the puddle the steak was sitting in. Traditionally said puddle is a mixture of butter, thyme, and whatever seasonings you used on the steak when cooking it. In this case, that puddle was flavorless. It really tasted like the steak was just sitting in a flavorless oil. The steak was very bland, very difficult to think someone could send out a piece of meat out like that, especially when you find out what it costs. It was not worth it and not worth the final tab unfortunately. Really wanted to find a steak W for Downey but I don't see myself being interested in this place again.
