I won't go back to wing stop again. This place has consistently better wings and better flavors. Batter is perfect also. Gonna have to try the packs they sell to try them up yourself at home read more

Loved the free soft serve while I waited for my chicken to be freshly fried! They also offer frozen items. Loved the sesame cabbage salad! Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

I wanted to update my review since its been awhile. I use to order from Crunchicken more frequent when I lived closed but since moving its been awhile. I recently came in to pick up for the house. We ordered ahead and got their 15 piece which includes two different flavors. I got their extra sweet spicy and garlic soy. Both flavors were good but our chicken wasn't super crispy. Also they didn't have enough sauce and if you want more you have to pay more. The chicken pieces were pretty big though. Our order did come with some pickled radish and a free sample of their soft serve. Service was pretty good and our food came out quick. Their pricing is affordable but very slightly higher than other Korean fried chicken places. I do like that besides just wings they also have chicken sandwiches if you prefer. The inside is very casual and they have tables and chairs for you to enjoy. Parking is easy since they share a parking lot in a strip mall. read more

Came across this restaurant a couple weeks ago. I was craving Korean fried chicken. Their chicken wings are good but could've used a little more salt. They were kind to throw in an extra wing for free, which was a great surprise. Their fries definitely could've used more salt too. It's unfortunate because they had potential. I had to add ketchup, which is something I do rarely. I only use ketchup when the fries aren't up to par. read more

Crunchicken - Wings w/ Sauce (4pc) - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

Not bad, not bad at all! So, I was bringing my mom to her hair and nail appointment at the salon next door. But when I parked, my eyes looked up, and my mouth dropped. KFC, aww hell yeah! Verified the positive yelp reviews and walked right in. No one was around, but the dining area appeared clean so I figured I'd chill here before the 5pm dinner rush. I wasn't too hungry, but I always have room for wings. Since I've never been here, I only ordered the Wing Combo A ($10.49) which comes with four wings, coleslaw, and a drink. Bone-in, sweet spicy was my flavor of choice. And man, I gotta say the four crunchy wings were sauced up just right. Tender and meaty inside and I got lucky spotting a fifth wing in there. The coleslaw was decent tasting as well. Overall, service was helpful. No complaints. Dining was nothing fancy, and again it felt clean. I also noticed the freezers. They sell their wings frozen for you to deep fry at home; Party packs and chicken katsu. I missed out on the free soft serve machine. That's a plus if you ask me. These guys are worth a try if you've never been here. read more

The best mom pop shop's crunchy chicken, especially the Korean garlic chili twist sauce with similar Louisiana Popeyes texture but far tastier and healthier than Louisiana Popeyes. No vascular inflammation at the end of the meal. Really crunchy without trace or taste of oil while better priced under $10. I have been eating almost everyday. So Addictive! 10/10 read more

Small, very clean Mom and Pop store with the wife at the counter and the husband working away at the open kitchen making the best tasting Korean Style Double Fried Chicken with various types of batters and sauce to make you float away from the current world that's gone mad and give you a blissful moment of culinary ecstasy and tasteful Korean Yang Nyum (Spicy Sauce)! The 12 piece whole chicken with two separate Yang Nyum such as Garlic Spice or Soy Sauce are two of the more popular options. They have 15 pieces of chicken wings with one or two different spices. The freshly made hot and crispy crunchy original fried chicken is by far my favorite but maybe you may like one of different spicy or sauces better. Dear Mukbang friends and relatives: Don't waste your time anywhere else like the usual Traditional Franchise fast food outfits with same old fashioned fried chicken. This is the perfect way to enjoy the Fried Chicken! read more

I saw this place as I was driving by and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did! There's a lot of Korean fried chicken places nearby but this has been my favorite so far. Since it was my first time I took my time and staff was very helpful as I was choosing my option. Usually chicken places are more bread than chicken, but this was the perfect ratio. I will definitely be back! read more

Crunchicken - Wings w/Sauces (25pc) up to 2 sauces - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

When I found out that this place replaced my BBQ gem that was Smokey Teriyaki, I was pretty bummed. But I wouldn't hold it against them and gave them a shot. This is definitely a great KFC (Korean fried chicken) spot. I got the 15 piece chicken tenders with the Honey garlic and sweet spicy flavors. The honey garlic combined the nice sweetness of the honey with the savory-ness of the garlic and chicken. It was delicious. The sweet spicy was also so good because the spiciness mixed with the sweet and savory chicken just made it irresistible. It seems the key to delicious food is mixing up the taste palette. Definite something to try especially if you want some variety in your fried poultry! read more

Crunchicken - Chicken tenders (Honey Garlic and Sweet Spicy) - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

Such a pleasant surprise! For $20 you can get a generous portion of fries and half a chicken tossed in sauce with a pop, side of pickled radish and even soft serve icecream!? Not only is this a great deal, it was DELICIOUS. Such a great find, service was friendly and attentive, food came out quick and hot. The batter of the chicken is evenly coated and not too heavy. We opted for soy garlic this visit and really couldn't get enough of it! The pool of sauce on the bottom was just bonus sauce for our fries! The portion of radish to chicken was a bit small, so I'd recommend asking for additional. (Not sure if it's an extra charge?) We ended up taking the chicken to go, so I didn't get to try the soft serve but with this being a take out order and it still being this good- I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors! read more

Had a doordash giftcard and had to try Crunchicken. I was feeling that fried chicken and it looks like everything was priced really well. I got the four piece tenders with fries with their lemon pepper rub and it was great. Very lemony and crispy. Fries were good too and coleslaw was okay. It felt like it was a little watery. Probably wouldnt order the coleslaw again. Next time I would try the soy garlic wings. read more

got the chicken katsu and it was great. crust stayed together and chicken was not dry. Chicken tasted like high quality and cooked carefully. my new fav chicken spot read more

Good, consistent food! A staple for locals. I would easily recommend this spot over and over. Their chicken is consistently good and their service is usually good too. They are friendly and respectful and it's easy to ask for recommendations. There's some seating inside but I wouldn't recommend this for big groups. The parking can also be a challenge too since it's a small lot, also warning to any lowered car guys (try not to scrape). Overall, would recommend and would come back! read more

A while back, my husband and I took Katella Avenue on both our trips to and from Disneyland, mainly to explore interesting restaurants along the way. Few months ago, we stumbled upon a fried chicken spot with a quirky name. After checking out the reviews (which were excellent), we decided to give it a try. The owner of this fried chicken place seems to be run by Korean, and the vibe reminded me of those small neighborhood chicken places in Seoul. We ordered half a chicken (5 pieces) for $14.99, which came with a small side of pickled radish. Although the wait was a bit long, the chicken was fried so well--super crispy and flavorful. We chose the Extra Sweet Spicy sauce, which the staff recommended. It was absolutely delicious and not spicy at all! Surprisingly, they also serve fried rice (with bits of sausage!), and the price is incredibly reasonable. A small portion, which even comes with a side of teriyaki sauce, costs just $5.99. Honestly, that kind of pricing is hard to find in Southern California! They also sell frozen fried chicken (perfect for reheating in an air fryer at home) and Jayone frozen kimbap for $3.99 each, the same price as local Korean supermarkets. If you dine in, there's free soft-serve ice cream (you can refill it yourself, though the container is one of those small sauce cups). They also have a water dispenser for self-service and provide wet wipes, which is always a nice touch. The only downside? No restroom! Overall, we really enjoyed the food and will definitely return for their fried chicken. Crunchicken 11513 Knott Ave, Cypress, CA 90630 read more

I was really craving some chicken today and saw this place wasn't really too far from my work so I decided to check this place out. Located in a strip mall there is plenty of parking around so no hassle there. The restaurant and seating area itself is pretty spacious. I walked up and was debating between a chicken bowl and the tenders and opted to get the 4pc chicken tender combo that came with fries and a drink. Altogether it was around $15. Lady that took the order was nice and food took about 5-10 mins. I decided to get the sauce on the side which was the honey garlic sauce. Opening the box I was surprised that there was more than 4 pieces and was pretty happy about that! The pieces looked absolutely crunchy and the fries looked great but how did it taste?... I am happy to report that this is some pretty damn good chicken! Crunchy to the bite and once dipped in the honey garlic sauce, it was savory and delicious. The fries were crunchy as well and tasted really good! For the price I paid I have to admit with the amount of food received it's almost a steal (even with the hyperinflation... lol) the tenders were delicious and would definitely order again! It looked like this place is family owned so I can't recommend it more if you need a chicken fix! Definitely get it here!! read more

Found this little gym when I was on my way from a store. I love Korean fried chicken so when I found out that this place is only 10 minutes away.

Would love to come back next time! read more

Crunchicken - Nov 2024 - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

CrunChicken has the crunchiest chicken! They have a variety of sauces. My favorite is the honey soy garlic. I usually get the 4 piece tenders or wings, and have never been able to finish it. The price point is fairly cheap considering the amount of food and quality. The food came out quickly, and best of all, they give you complimentary soft serve ice cream while you wait! The staff are very friendly, and the music is nice also. Not loud, cozy feeling. read more

Crunchicken - Ice cream machine - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

A chicken lovers gem This place is located in the corner of a little shopping center, you may overlook it when you're passing by. But you shouldn't. Their chicken tasted amazing. Perfectly crusted, juicy and full of flavor. They had reasonable prices and their portion size fit with a charge. Looks like a small little mom and pop shop, but don't let that dissuade you from their awesome flavors. The one thing that I did like about them, is that they do sell wings to go. So if you want to look like, just buy some of their wings, fry them up and serve them and let your company be amazed. If I'm in the area, I will definitely revisit this place. Not to mention they give you a free ice cream when you come in. What more do you want? read more

I stumbled upon this place while driving by, today was my second visit. Very nice people working here. The space is basic and very clean. Really good food-fresh and crunchy chicken with a selection of sauces. First visit I had the deluxe chicken sandwich which was excellent. Chicken fillet was a large piece, crunchy with a good taste. Today I had chicken tenders with chili garlic sauce. This came with coleslaw and a drink. The tenders were really big, I was unable to finish them. The sauce was sweet and spicy and a bit sticky. The amount of food you get for the amount paid is really surprising. The complimentary soft serve was a really nice touch as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Crunchicken - Nice touch with the positive sticker! - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

Chicken was super crispy (not oily) but a little dry. I got the soy garlic sauce on the tenders and it was absolutely delicious! The portions are huge. Fries and onion rings were crispy and delicious. Not oily at all. Paid .99 cents for ranch (which was hidden valley). The house sauce that comes on the chicken sandwich was delicious! Recommend getting that instead of the ranch. Service was friendly and food was brought to our table. Inside was clean. They offered us free soft serve ice cream before leaving but we were so full we passed. Next time! read more

possibly the best fried chicken around. service was good and overall a really good fried chicken spot.

I've been going to Crunchicken for years, and it's hands down my go-to spot for Korean fried chicken! I recently got the 8-piece wings with the sauce on the side, and they did not disappoint. Their honey garlic sauce is a must-try--perfect balance of sweet and savory. The wings are super crispy, and the chicken is always juicy. They also throw in free pickled radishes on the side, which is a nice touch. If you're hosting a party, their trays are awesome too! I would also recommend the fries and deluxe chicken sandwich. Plenty of parking and great service! There's also tables inside if you want to eat there too. Plus, they have a free self-serve vanilla ice cream machine that's so good. Overall, it's a local gem that never lets me down! I highly recommend this place! read more

Crunchicken - Honey garlic and radish - Korean Near Me - Cypress, California

Updated review- tldr: Still slaps after all these years; and an updated menu. Consistently solid. (For what it's worth, I actually counted through my various credit card statements and was able to confirm I've been at least 22 times since May 2017) -- Food- 4.5/5 I ordered the Wing Combo B (4 wings, fries, and soda). Wings (Sweet Spicy) This was a massive nostalgia bomb for me taking my first bite of sweet spicy crunchicken. This place has always had a special perfect crunch to their korean fried chicken that other places don't, which puts it into a league of its own from a breading perspective. I have tried most of the other sauces and I would say sweet spicy is still the classic must-have here. Only after you've had it would it be worth branching out. I honestly do like their BBQ but I would say honey garlic is a bit too sweet to me. The soy garlic is good too but honestly none of them are as good as the sweet spicy in my opinion. If I wanted not sweet spicy I'd probably go somewhere else like Furai Chicken. The only thing I did notice is the sweet spicy is not even really a little bit spicy anymore. Maybe it was the day I went because it was never all that spicy to begin with, but when I come back I will probably stick with the extra sweet spicy. And would recommend it to anyone who actually wants a kick. Fries - 3/5 Pretty alright McDonalds style fries if you know what I mean, but never been on par with the chicken. They have ketchup packets to go with it. Overall, I prefer the cole slaw still. Cole Slaw - 4/5 Creamy goes good with just about all of the sauces. Radish - 4/5 They used to always hand out radish without asking... so it was weird having to go to the counter after getting my head to beg for some. The radish was good but would have gone better had I ordered the extra and spicy. -- Service & Experience - 4/5 Visited on Mon, Feb 3rd at 7PM, it was very slow (no customers came in while I was there but they did take one phone order). And I would say overall the service was friendly and efficient, if not extraordinary. They do have free ice cream inside which I didn't try this time. -- Ambiance - 4/5 Very casual restaurant still and nicer than it was before they rebuilt but a lot of stuff is the same including the ice cream machine. It was very quiet an hour before closing... you can definitely take your time eating (a previous visit I even saw someone on their laptop watching a movie while eating lol). -- Detailed Thought Back in 2016/2017, this place replaced Krazy Smokey Teriyaki which was one of my favorite places and the closing of which still haunts me to this day. Luckily, it was replaced with Crunchicken and I fell in love with this place as my new local spot until they had a fire incident. It took years to re-open but which point I had moved away. I was in the area for the first time in a while and boy am I happy it's back. It was just as good as always. And that's why it earns 5 stars in my book, 4.5/5 chicken 10/10 consistency. Side note: For those who had been before, it's worth pointing out the menu has been though when they re-opened the restaurant changed the menu/combos quite a bit (compare the original photos I uploaded to what I uploaded now). read more

It's so good and tasty and they also will accept huge orders for parties. You can also ask for sauce on the side to keep the chicken crispy

This place has gotten ten times better over the years. Not sure if it's new owners but the lady that works the counter actually is mature enough and has common sense. Their new chicken katsu item is FIRE. I ordered some cooked and took the uncooked ones for later. Both are delicious. They have too many choice of sauce but my favorite is their house sauce, hot. But I always order an extra one for my family who can't handle the spicy. Overall a good place to eat but a better place to just order togo and eat at home while watching sports or Netflix. Kudos to the new ownership (or new management). Whatever it is, it's much better and I'm a regular here now. read more

Super kind lady and the food is always amazing.My family tried it a few times and we were never dissappointed.

I'm glad Crunchicken was able to successfully reopen because the food here is so good. The interior is a nice improvement from what it used to be. I also see their menu has expanded. Korean fried chicken in general is amazing, if you've never had it before then this place has some great chicken. Very crispy, flaky and meat cooked very well. The prices have about doubled since my last review, However those are fairly standard Korean fried chicken prices IMO no matter where you go. The service is always friendly and a big plus for the free soft serve if you're into vanilla soft serve. read more

My son & I stopped in here after a volleyball tournament and we are very glad we did. While the restaurant is clean & bright it certainly isnt the ambiance that people are raving about. The service was friendly, helpful and quick. They even have free soft serve while you wait. I got the Chili Garlic Tenders and my son got the Soy Garlic (Regular) Tenders, both were fantastic. Mine was spicy and a drink was needed to cool my mouth down after each couple of bites but the flavor was amazing. My son loves soy sauce and his tenders did not disappoint. Both are made with hand cut chicken breast and the beading is crispy and flavorful. We both had the 4 Tender Meals and it was more than enough to fill us up. The next day we were both still talking about how great that chicken was. Next time we are in town, or even close, we will be running into Crunchicken for a bite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more
