Den Den never disappoints. A bunch of my work colleagues went here again this year when we were all in town and another great experience. Other than the food, what usually sticks out is the next level service. Shi was our server and wow, she is amazing. She remembered everyone's order and we were a party of about 10, went above and beyond for little things and just a a great person overall. Food was top level without the top tier price. Wonderful flavors with high-quality ingredients, meat are always juicy and portions are big. Can't go here without getting a few bottles of Soju as well! read more

A solid KFC restaurant for the area. Not your traditional Korean restaurant since they don't have ban Chan or bibimbap. It does have a good variety of fried chicken, rice, Korean noodle (ramen), and other options. It is good for small groups and has some tables for large groups. Service is friendly. Food is served fast. read more

Rating: 4.3 I've been to the restaurant few times but has not reviewed yet and it's been a while so decided to visit and leave a review this time. It's a known Korean restaurant right by the Thayer street Providence. Inside is like a bar and has decent amount of seatings but can be busy on weekends as it's a popular spot. The place offers variety of Korean dishes but the place is known for the Korean fried chicken. We got gluten free bone in spicy Korean chicken, spicy Korean rice cake, and cheesy boneless fried chicken. I've come to the location with my friends and his partner and he couldn't have gluten. We had ordered gluten free fried chicken and I noticed that the chicken was more fresh and crispy. Since then i always order gluten free bone in fried chicken. Fried chicken was crispy with savory, sweet, spicy and tender. Cheesy boneless fried chicken had nice char and was sweet and savory. Spicy Korean rice cake was spicy, sweet and chewy. The food was pretty good overall. Spicy Korean chicken and spicy rice cake may be a bit too spicy for some and sauce for spicy rice cake is too much some times. Service was great. There was some issue with ordering and they gave us hot tea and made cheesy boneless fries chicken off our check. Overall, the place was good and a solid place for Korean fried chicken and some Korean dishes. Price is a but pricey but tips seem to be included in price so its not too bad. Solid Korean restaurant option in RI. read more

I came here on a weeknight and it was super busy, but I luckily got seated right away. I ordered the half/half korean fried chicken, the half/half cheesy boneless chicken, and the tteokbokki. The soy garlic korean fried chicken and tteokbokki were absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend the bone in chicken because of how juicy and moist it is! I wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy flavor, but I usually prefer soy garlic so it really is just preference. The spicy flavor was still super yummy and it has a really nice kick if you're into pretty spicy food! I probably wouldn't get the cheesy boneless chicken again, just because I wasn't the biggest fan of the cheese they used, but the chicken itself was really good! The overall restaurant environment is super vibrant and comfy, which made the meal even more enjoyable! Highly recommend!! read more

Den Den Korean Fried Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Quick dinner with a friend before catching a late viewing of Marty Supreme last week. I was so hungry this specific evening and Den Den was a great choice by my friend. PLEASE NOTE: WAITSTAFF IS PAID A LIVING WAGE! For this reason, the menu prices MIGHT seem a little expensive to some, but, gosh, the food is great. Chicken is TENDER & CRISPY & SAUCY. $19 for 8pc boneless fried chicken comes with pickled radish. I wanted to add some carbs to my meal so I ordered the spiral potato halfway through the meal and it was good, but I would not order it again, because it was $10. The spiral potato was really just a fried potato garnished with parsley as it rests on spicy mayonnaise. Not necessarily a complaint, just my honest preference. Efficient service, really friendly young people who check-in with the tables methodically. read more

This is a popular spot right off Thayer Street that my mom and I like to frequent . Our usual order is the Spicy Bone-In Wings, Sweet Potato Fries (extra dipping sauce, always), and the Beef Kimbap. The wings are crispy, juicy, and have just the right kick. The sweet potato fries are usually crispy and the pineapple wasabi dipping sauce is such a good match. The kimbap is savory with just a hint of sweetness. I'd also recommend the gyozas and the spicy rice cakes. The restaurant has two dining areas--one by the front windows and another just a few steps up. It's an open layout, so it can get a little loud with all the chatter and echoes. The staff is always friendly, and the ordering system is straightforward with handheld tablets. Great spot for comfort food with a bit of a kick read more

Some yummy food! The spicy dumplings were my favorite part! Very light and crispy. The salad in the middle was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband got to enjoy it. The curry chicken was also delicious! I wish there was a bigger salad part because the dressing was delicious. A little on the pricier side for what it was, but it was more in line with what I was expecting when I realized they're a no tipping establishment. We had to wait for service a few times (getting water, ordering, paying), but the overall experience and ease of a quick sit down place was great. read more

Came here on a Sunday night and we were seated immediately as a group of three. The portion sizes were pretty generous for the prices and everything was insanely fresh. My favorite was probably the cheesy boneless wings! We also ordered a small regular order of wings and they let us do half spicy and half dark soy, which was really nice because not all of us like spicy. I hope to be back to try other things on the menu! read more

Came here for lunch. My group and I got their fried chicken, half soy garlic and half spicy. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. The spicy chicken wasn't too spicy. The kimchi pancake didn't really taste of kimchi. The yaki ramen noodles were pretty good with an assortment of veggies. The tteokbokki was a bit too sweet for my liking and wish there were more fish cakes. Service was lacking ... our server was missing for most of the time we ate so couldn't get drinks refills or anything. There is plenty of space inside and it is clean. read more

I had heard great things about Korean fried chicken and wanted to try it for myself! All I ordered was a 15-piece platter of the soy/garlic (regular) Korean fried chicken wings, boneless. The "boneless" was my friend's suggestion, but I think I would've liked the bone-in wings more. I really liked the texture of the Korean fried chicken, it was soft with a light crinkly crunch. I feel like the sauce was lacking something, however, like maybe it was made with low sodium soy sauce instead of the real deal. Service-wise, there's no tipping! I was so surprised! Perhaps that's why the wait staff weren't overly friendly. They were just there to take your order and give you your food. Recently, I've been reflecting on how Americans expect a sort of banter with their waiter, and I must say, I do enjoy that! But if the opposite is the MO of Den Den, that's cool too. Variety is the spice of life after all. In terms of ambiance, the place is right off Thayer Street and there are lots of large, street-facing windows. I liked the simple black and white tile decor. What I did not like was that my seat was downwind from the door! Every time someone came in or out I was blasted with freezing-cold nighttime February air. We weren't even the table closest to the door-we were in the raised area in the back- but this is not surprising given that it's a smaller restaurant. You're also really close to the tables next to you. It was a Thursday night when we went and very busy, not any empty tables around. But I could very clearly hear the guy a foot away from me tell his date "you can just Venmo me." Eek! So, definitely give this place a try for the Korean take on an American classic. Maybe in the summertime. If you like modern concepts like no tipping or a clientele that goes Dutch, you'll be fine. read more

My daughter ordered small sized chicken wing fyi the prize for adding cheese to the wing when up to an extra four dollars instead only two.. the service was great as usual but I will not be ordering this dish again it just did not have enough flavor. I'll keep you guys posted when I try a different dish, because presentation of all the dishes, ambience is friendly read more

I have been going to Den Den, both KFC and Asiana throughout many years and the quality stays consistent every time. I love how I can order an entree and the portions are always huge, or I can share KFC and entrees with friends and everyone is satisfied with their meal. Notable favorites: Korean rice cakes (ttekobokki w/ ramen and cheese, upcharge of $2 each additional topping), the Curry Pork Katsu (DELICIOUS) and the Beef Kimbap. SO much flavor in each dish. For the KFC, you can split between the two sauces in your order (Dark Soy Garlic & Spicy), but I actually prefer the soy garlic. I have been to Den Den for both lunch and dinner, but some of the dishes are a bit better to have for dinner. The service is also fast and friendly as well. I would definitely recommend trying! read more

Den Den Korean Fried Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

It's been a while since coming back to Den Den and after the meal, I was kicking myself for taking so long to come back. Let me start by saying this spot is just as busy as I remember it being several years ago, which is a good sign- just be prepared to wait for a bit if you have a larger party. With us looking for a table for 2, we got right in to the casual, laid back space. The Tuna kimbap (Gimbap) ($14). We were thinking sushi, and Den Den chicken also sounded like a good idea so we went with the best of both worlds and ordered this. Now let me tell you, it's much simpler than sushi which is intended- it's a different dish, different ingredients but similar execution except for one big difference.. These slices were MASSIVE. Seriously, be careful taking these head on. One problem I had with these is they were quite dry. Again, in the traditional sense, these were your typical Kimbap but man, they would have benefited from a little sauce. Some kind of ssamjang or a Korean vinegar soy dipping sauce would have taken these to the next level. I'd give the Kimbap a 3/5 for flavor, but 5/5 for portion. The Scallion Chicken: holy crap, the portion on this was unexpected. If you're going to go with the 8pc Fried Chicken order and want boneless, do this instead. It is $1 more ($18) and you get literally ~20 pieces of boneless chicken (majority requiring 2 bites). Most of the chicken in this dish was fantastic, however there were a handful of pieces that were quite tough and difficult to chew. But man, the flavor was fantastic and the value here was off the charts. Overall I'd give this dish a 4-4.5/5 on flavor. 5/5 on a value. This was split between 2 of us, if we hadn't gotten some small bites at a different place beforehand, I'm confident 2 orders of Kimbap and 1 order of the scallion chicken would have been more than enough food and that's for 2 people with large appetites. When considering your options, also keep in mind this is a no-tipping restaurant. What you see on the menu for a price is what you pay. Will be back again, and again. read more

Amazing fried chicken. Staffs were awesome. Best of all no tips accepted! Truly a taste of Korea. Kimbab and sweet potato fries are just okay so stick with the chicken.

Den Den in Providence: A Love Story in Three Dishes When I walked into Den Den, I didn't realize I was about to embark on a culinary adventure that would change the way I view life, love, and fried things. The atmosphere? Imagine a place where hip meets chill, with vibes so cozy you half expect a Korean grandma to emerge from the kitchen and pat you on the back for finishing your plate. The staff? Friendly and attentive --stealthily refilling water glasses with the precision of a Hitchcock drama plot twist. Let's talk about the food: 1. Kimchi Pancake - This thing was so good, I briefly considered proposing to it (My wife sitting across from me had me coming to my senses ). Crispy on the outside, tangy on the inside, and with just the right amount of spice to remind me that I should've brought a bib. One bite, and I was emotionally invested. 2. Fried Rice Cake - Imagine eating tiny clouds that are simultaneously crispy and chewy, dipped in a sauce that whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds. It was so addictive, I briefly wondered if I needed an intervention. 3. Wings - These wings were less a meal and more a spiritual awakening. Crispy skin, juicy meat, and a sauce that made me want to write poetry. If wings had a red carpet, these would walk it dripping in gold. Final thoughts: Den Den didn't just serve me food--it served me a new perspective on life. I laughed, I cried, I asked for extra napkins. Highly recommend! 5/5 would pancake-propose again. read more

This restaurant is located near a lot of other businesses in downtown, parking was fairly easy if you're going when I went which was around noon. I can't speak for the evening. We entered the restaurant and were greeted right away. Our server was attentive. The fried chicken was good in flavor, but the texture and bite of it was on the rougher, drier side. The rice was cooked well, and the rice cakes were also. If you need a quick bite, and like Korean food, this spot is decent to stop by. read more

I visited Den Den Korean Fried Chicken today and had an amazing time. It was Monday afternoon around 2:00pm and it wasn't too crowded. I was seated right away. There are two levels of seating, one on the main floor and another level after going up a few steps. The tables are made of wood and has Den Den logo embroidered. I ordered the fried rice cake - skewered fried rice cake with spicy sour sauce, Den Den Korean Fried Chicken - double fried crispy chicken wings and drums paired with Korean pickled radish in bone, and Yaki Ramen Noodles - Stir fried Ramen noodles with vegetable and fried egg topping. There are two flavors for the Den Den Korean Fried Chicken and Yaki Ramen Noodles: Dark (Soy Garlic) / Red (Spicy). For the Den Den Korean Fried Chicken, there are different sizes: Small (8pc), Medium (15pc), Large (23pc), and Extra Large (30pc). The fried rice cake was delicious with the sauce. It was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The way that Den Den does their double fried crispy chicken wings is so wonderful, every bite into the skin is so crispy. The Yaki Ramen Noodles was a great portion and great for sharing. All the food was delicious and will definitely be coming back. Service was good and food came out quickly. They refilled my water when they saw it was low. read more

I've had my fair share of Korean fried chicken, and Den Den ranks high on that list! Their soy garlic glaze on the wings is amazingly flavorful and complex without a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The chicken is juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Even when ordering the chicken for takeout, it remains crisp and delicious. The radish is a refreshing addition and staple to accompany the Korean fried chicken. Service is quick with a chill ambiance for a nice hangout with friends. Highly recommended! read more

Solid Korean fried chicken spot! I really enjoyed the soy garlic wings but did not like the red (spicy) sauce as much. Sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp and thick cut. The dipping sauce was also really good. Service was fast and friendly. We asked for more of the pickled radish on the side and the server was very generous with our second serving.

Food/Drinks: One of my favorite food spots in my state. The fried noodle rolls are so crispy and goes perfect with the sauces provided. The noodles are my favorite, veggies, and topped with an egg just hits the spot everytime. They have variety of items including the actaul staple Korean fried chicken which was so delicious that they were eaten before I can take a pic of it lol ! I didn't see any alcoholic beverages on menu... They do have soft drinks ! The price is more than fair for the amount of food you get. I always leave with a to go box ;) Location: This location could be a little tricky specially because parking can be a bit tedious. It is in a busy area, and they don't have private parking , but if you don't mind a little walk you can always find parking around the area. The location is casual. it's nice, modern, and clean. Service: They are friendly, quick, attentive, and have thus far been consistently great! Definitely recommend! read more

Cute little eatery. From outside, I thought it would be more of a counter ordering system, but it was a regular sit-down restaurant, and it was packed. We started with shrimp shumai, which was a small serving but big on taste. But the star was really the chicken. We got boneless fried chicken, and even the small was a good portion for lunch for 2 people. It was juicy, not too saucy, and it came with pickled radish. It was really good fried chicken and would be really great for takeout as well. Only note, we did ask for forks, and the listed "FORKS!" rather aggressively on the receipt. No charge, but they make note of it. Service was good, and the food came fast, so it's a good place for good chicken. read more

Best wings in RI. Good to go and better in person so the sauce doesn't get wasted to the container, dried up from the commute, etc. Get the best of both worlds: 1/2 order soy garlic 1/2 order spicy red.

Den Den Korean Fried Chicken, not to be mistaken with Den Den Cafe Asiana, is one of my spots in College Hill. Truthfully, I've only ordered their fried chicken wings because of how delicious they are and I have no intention of ordering anything else on the menu. My complaints are that Den Den is extremely pricey, so Den Den is only reserved for special occasions for me. It's hard to justify spending twenty dollars on eight pieces of wings. Additionally, the service is a bit lackluster and the wait staff is not the friendliest. read more

The food and the service here were very good. We opted to try their famous Korean Fried Chicken as well as a Bulgogi bowl. We also tried their Kimchi pancake. The chicken was double fried and very crispy and bulky. I had heard from previous reviews that the chicken pieces were small, so we ordered the medium size order...it was huge....we actually had to bring some home. The flavor of the chicken and the fried coating were really nice and tasty. The bulgogi dish (beef) was a bit salty for my taste, but the overall dish was really good. The rice that came with the dish was most likely jasmine rice, very fluffy and moist... We enjoyed the experience very well and we recommend this place 100%. read more

I must give a shout out to my Yelpie friend Robert for suggesting this delicious restaurant! The dining area is on two levels. We sat by the window wall in a bright, open space. The tables are set with small plates and disposable chop sticks. I am a fool with those and requested a fork. I know my limitations. We ordered the kimchi scallion pancakes which are very nice. I expected a bit more spice (based on my prior Korean kimchi experience), but if you prefer mild, this is a nice plate to share. The Korean BBQ comes with your choice of protien (five options I think). I chose the mixed mushrooms. This meal is so tasty. I got the 'mild' spice level which still had a nice kick to it and was also a bit sweet. The sauce is a nice consistency and full of flavors. My SO ordered spicy, cheesy, boneless fried chicken. Every part of that dish is right up his food alley and he had all good things to say about it. Spicy hot enough to 'satisfy' his atomic level heat preference (not that hot, but enough) and very crispy. He loved it. Yay! Parking is on street with a 2hr limit. Use the Passport parking app or bring quarters to feed the meter. If you don't mind a little walk you may find free on street parking on a side street away from the busy Thayer St. area. Our server was super; Professional, personable and checked in on us as appropriate. The restaurant is casual and clean. The food is soooo tasty! I definitely plan to try more. read more
