I believe there's an lrvine location (thankfully!) but wanted to pay homage to this location as we have been here several times and loved the food each time. Their fried chicken is so good and crispy + packed with flavor. Really friendly service as well! Will miss this location. read more

Furai Chicken - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I ordered the 20 piece wings and four sides of sauce and was pretty surprised how juicy and delicious the wings were. I did see that the other pictures had drummies but I had all flats but I was a happy camper since I'm totally a flats girls. The wings were all naked wings with crispy skin and really tender and juicy inside. I really appreciated the sides of pickled daikon and Serrano peppers to go along with the wings. The little potatoes that came with the wings were a nice surprise and were decent. I also got a side of macaroni which was just okay. I wasn't sure if the ham were onions at first cause I tasted no hint of saltiness. My favorite sauce was the mango habanero which I dipped with the ranch. It was so good and even better than other local wing spots with the same flavors. I highly recommend coming for the wings! read more

Furai Chicken - Naked wings with sides of sauces - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

One of four locations around the LA area, Furai Chicken - Garden Grove serves up a decent rendition of Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) for both dine-in and take-out. I found the chicken to be good relative to all fried chicken, but average/ok in relation to KFC around the SoCal area. Furai Chicken-Irvine appeared on the 15 essential Korean restaurants in Eater for Orange County, so made a note of it if I was ever nearby any of their locations. So after picking up some great kimchi from the close-by Seoul Do Soon Yi, we stopped by for carry-out around lunchtime. It's a fast food set-up, ordering/paying first and then taking it back to your table or carrying it out. The two page menu consisted of chicken, sandwiches, and sides. They do offer alcohol, both draft and bottled. It was empty when I got in, but the ringing of the doorbell let the front-of-house to come to the front. The cashier was helpful, answering my questions. The meal was for three, so got a Half&Half ($31.98) with Original Furai Chicken (comes with one sauce) and Soy Garlic. Added an order of beer-battered fries ($5.98)...which turned out to be a decent amount of really thick sidewinder fries. It took about 20 minutes for the made-to-order to be prepared, and it was packaged so the steam could be released. KFC has 10 pieces for a whole bone-in chicken, which I prefer since the large breast piece gets broken into two. The original is meant to be dipped in the accompanying sweet/spicy, which I really liked: not hot at all but still maintained that sweet/spicy flavor of a good Jang. The soy-garlic was lightly sauced, maybe trying to maintain that crunchiness. But it certainly didn't have the crazy crunch that really good KFC has, even when not eaten right away. It also came with small ramekins of peppers and pickled radish (which strangely were a bit mushy). With the fries, it was enough for the three of us for lunch, but for me, nothing really stood out to make me want to choose it vs the many other choices for Asian-inspired fried chicken in my area. read more

Y'all... For a while now, I had to trek all the way to Irvine to get my crispy, juicy, steamy chicken fix--until the universe (and the internet) blessed me with a closer location in GG. How did I not know? 15 minutes away? I can't believe it took me this long to realize! There's a Furai Chicken in GG??? Thank the lords..... As always, the chicken is on another level. Fresh, crispy, and somehow still moist, bite after bite. If chicken had a PhD, Furai would be the professor. And don't even get me started on the sauces. I tried three, and was about to give up on finding "the one" that matched my mood until Miguel, the nicest manager ever, saved the day. He suggested two more sauces and even hooked me up with radishes and Serrano peppers. I'm pretty sure they're made of magic. Miguel is my new homie now and saved my chicken tasting day. I honestly don't know how he didn't kick us out after us requesting so much stuff from him. Thank you so much for providing us with the buffet of sauces.

Furai Chicken - The freshest wings you'll ever taste in your life! - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

One thing I love about this restaurant is flavor. I can't name all the flavors on top of my head(take a look at the menu photos on their page) but they have a lot of sauce to choose from. I got the original and korean season chicken flavored wings ( tangy and spicy). The chicken was juicy and very savory and had the Korean traditional chicken flavor to it. (If you are Korean you know what I mean). One thing I HATE about this chicken place is that you don't really get what you paid for... They are a bit expensive for the size you get. and their chicken is EXTREAMELY small. Like SMALLLL. I've paid around $80+ (including tip) for 40 piece of tiny little wings/ fries. Attached are pictures of the wings for your review :) read more

Furai Chicken - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This was my first time at this location, I've gone to the Irvine location before. I'm surprised that it wasn't as busy but we still enjoyed ourselves. There's plenty of parking in the lot. Service was good overall, the place was clean and easy to get around. We ordered different chickens and they all were so good. I have to admit that the wings were my favorite but that's my bias. I love flat wings. They didn't have the big beer batter fries, which was better for me because I do prefer shoestring fries instead. We had so many different dips too but our favorite was the lemon garlic. The mango habanero wasn't as spicy as we anticipated. The sweet salty parmesan was a no go for us. I dipped everything into that lemon garlic sauce though. They ran out of the onion rings so we opted for the pickled cucumber salad, which was refreshingly light and not fried. read more

Furai Chicken - Chicken egg sandwich and combination pho - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

The menu was pretty confusing, since it was hard to tell if the list of flavors were either dips or seasonings (you can choose to either get it as a dip or seasoning). Maybe coming the second time it'd be easier to choose, but definitely rough for our first time there. In terms of food though, the chicken wings were extremely crispy and the fries were wonderful. I loved that they only gave us flats as I am a huge flats enjoyer. The service was pretty good until the end, where I had to wait 10 mins at the register until someone walked out and let me pay my check. It's a relatively small place, but is well lit and provides a relatively cozy ambiance. read more

The chicken sandwich was hot and tender, and the glaze sets it apart with a unique savory/sweet flavor combination. The sandwich with the fried egg is unique, tasty and fresh! The pickled cucumber salad is a SPICY pickled cucumber. The serving is pretty small for six bucks though. The ambience is straightforward small-shop chill. Staff are laid back and nice. I wish for some kind of additional vegetable option to round out the fried goodness and make me feel healthier. read more

This is a Korean fried chicken place. The food was pretty good. Note that if you get wings, they only give flats here. This is perfect for me, though I know some prefer the drumette parts of the wings. In your order, they will also include some fried potato wedges. They tasted weird and not like regular potatoes, so maybe they used a different variety of potatoes? I didn't like them. * Soy Garlic Wings 4.5/5 - Crispy wings with a light batter. The meat was juicy with a sweet and savory taste. * Sweet and Spicy Wings 4/5 - These were pretty good. You can really taste both the sweetness and spiciness. I wasn't a fan of the strong honey-like sweetness, though, so I'd probably try a different flavor next time. read more

The fried chicken is just delicious. And it comes with fries in the same box as the chicken! They all just sharing heat and crispiness together. Sauced up? Doesn't matter still crispy. Get some before they close because they close so early! read more

I had a major craving for fried chicken. Specifically- sticky, garlicky- Korean fried chicken. We landed on ordering for pick up from Furai and we couldn't have made a worst choice. We ordered their Garlic Soy, whole chicken ($40) - the portion seemed small, came with a side of fries, 2 portions of pickled daikon and kimchi. We added an extra sweet and spicy sauce on the side. Which was the blessing in disguise because this chicken was DRRRRRRRY. My first bite was into a breast piece. Why? Not sure, purely seeking disappointment at this point, because there was no juice in this meat. The "soy garlic sauce" was non existent at this point so we NEEDED the extra sauce we added on to be able to get some flavor out of this chicken. Not only was the chicken dry, they didn't bother to brine this chicken after being so stingy on the sauce already. Kimchi was fine, pickled daikon was soft- which is another issue in itself. Needless to say, I won't be back. read more

Counter point to all these glowing reviews. We ordered from here a while back. Everything was mediocre, nothing to rave or get upset about, IE, meh. Kiddo wanted to try the chicken sando again to which I thought, "I guess it's been long enough, we'll either see that they've improved or we'll be reminded of their mediocrity." Unfortunately, neither happened. Ordered some chicken sandwiches but they were not serving chicken sandwiches. Ordered 10 pc wings, half this and half that: "sorry, you can only get one flavor for 10 pc." I ask what's the difference between this menu item and that one: "we don't have this one we only have that one." Ok thanks, I'll cancel my order. As I'm leaving I see most everyone dining in is having pho. And in case you don't know, we're in pho country so to come to a Korean fried chicken place and have pho... Makes me wonder if I should have ordered the pho. Not sure what's going on here but chicken sandwiches are not on the menu... even though they are literally on the menu. read more

ORDER soy garlic half chicken (4/5) the batter was very light so the chicken was so crispy and juicy. the soy garlic was sweeter than most places. i asked for the sauce to be on the side, but it came on the chicken. luckily, my brothers liked the sauce.

I wish the sauce was a bit less sweet. The wings are very crispy, thin coat of flour on the outside and the inside is still moist.

I love the Irvine Location, so I was very excited to see there was a Garden Grove location. However I was extremely disappointed in the portion I received. I ordered wings, half chicken, and sweet potato fries. The wings were so tiny, I thought it was a joke! The half chicken didn't have much meat on it either and the fries were whatever. We paid $51 for such a disappointing meal. Just go to the Irvine location. read more

Incredibly crunchy & juicy Korean fried chicken! My favorite flavor so far is the classic Soy Garlic. Kang Jung isn't spicy at all, just really sweet.

Beyond the top-notch food, its eclectic, modern interior and super friendly service all left a good taste in our mouths :) read more

Oh wow. This was so crispy and delicious. The wings were made to ordered and tossed in a sweet spicy sauce that had sesame and pumpkin seeds. They also added fried seasoned potatoes too. If you check in on Yelp, you can get a rice cake skewer. The order took about 15 minutes to make. The restaurant was roomy and had lots of seats available. I think we came in during their downtime. read more

Furai is my go-to for Asian fried chicken near Garden Grove. I'm in love with their soy garlic and sweet and spicy wings. The portions are pretty hefty and come with fries! I've eaten at the restaurant as well as gotten food to-go. Both experiences have been great. The workers are super friendly and make me feel welcomed. Definitely try their yuzu lemonade! That is my favorite drink to wash down the fried chicken. read more

This spot is so underrated and honestly deserves more hype!!! The chicken comes with fries, they were definitely life changing. I could just eat a plate of fries and be so satisfied. We tried different sauces on the side and my favorite were ranch and soy garlic. The original chicken was a little dry and the wings were more moist. Make sure to request for a side of radish and peppers, pairs super well with the chicken. The store is super clean and it seems like most customers like ordering on the phone for pick up. I seriously dream about the fries, so good! read more

We found another great chicken restaurant spot, this time in Garden grove. We ordered the Sweet and Spicy Furai chicken, Soy garlic Furai chicken, Rice cake Skewers, Rice bowl with Umami bomb, Potato wedges, and the Furai chicken and egg Cro-sand. Let me start by saying Wow! The chicken wings are double fried for that crispy crunch and then doused with some delicious sauce! We loved both flavors! The rice cake skewers were crispy outside and chewy inside, and the pairing sauce was delicious. The Chicken sandwich was simply delicious with the egg and soy garlic glaze. The restaurant had ample seating inside, service was fast and staff were very helpful with menu options. The restaurant was very clean with simple decor. We will definitely be back when in the area! Happy Nom Nom! read more

Alright I'm going to say it out loud, I love Korean fried chicken. If the city has it, I will always get it. I happened to be in OC and my friend recommended this place because of their garlic chicken. Garlic and chicken - of course I have to try it. Absolutely delicious. The garlic cuts through the grease of the crispy skin and into the moist/tender chicken. Like literally slide off the bone level. Apparently they smear garlic paste into the chicken themselves, they didn't do it for my visit, but that flavoring was still there. I also tried the soy garlic -- it's done so well. I have no words to describe that perfect balance between soy sauce and garlic. Also with all this sauce the chicken was still crispy af likeee that's talent right there. Also can I just talk about that the potatoe swirls that come with the order of chicken??? It's so unwarranted but welcomed, like I was craving some fries and bam they provided. Chicken + fries + beer *chef's kiss* Free radish cubes if you dine in -- service was absolutely awesome too! Parking is abundant in my opinion and the place is awesome for hangouts and family dinners. All sorts of groups were dining in! read more

Furai Chicken - 10. Furai Chicken Wings Soy Garlic, Kang Jung, and Sweet and Spicy - Korean Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Side dishes - 3, came out a bit slow and only 2 total Fries - 3, nothing special, shouldn't have gotten it Onion rings - 3 again, nothing special, plain and simple Wings - soy and the spicy one (recommended flavor), 5 they were great! Good texture, size, flavor, and quality... it took a while to come out, but it was worthwhile. Would I go again? Yeah, but definitely only ordering wings and maybe something other than the fries and onion rings... A 4 star rating would mislead people into thinking it was great! Only the wings were great.. the rest of what we tried was average or below average (in my opinion)... my honest rating overall would have been 3.75 but hey, don't take it from me. Go order wings only and you might enjoy the 4.5 star experience! Please don't take offense to this rating if you're the owner. People come for the chicken and they're great and I can see why they would rate ya a 4. But I also think most people order sides and fries and stuff like that, which really hurts your overall review. Keep up the good work on the chicken! read more

Not sure if it was the lack of employees but none of our orders came out right besides the rice cake skewer. Ordered half sweet and spicy chicken and 10 chicken wings with garlic jam and mango habanero but she brought out half original furai chicken and 10 sweet and spicy chicken wings with the spicy ranch and sweet and spicy sauce. She gave us a free mango habanero dip and brought out the correct sauces when we told her. The chicken was very yummy and the fries were crispy. The sauces were delicious as well. You have to ask for the radish and peppers and they also have a check in for one rice cake skewer. I wouldn't pay to order it as you can just make it at home. read more

Had the biggest craving for Korean fried chicken, but sadly, Furai did not live up to my standards. We tried the light crispy chicken and the sweet and spicy chicken. We expected the light crispy to have a slightly thinner batter than their original crispy, but it was extremely dry and over cooked. The sweet and spicy sauce was also overly sweet. Perhaps if we had chosen different sauces, we would've had a more enjoyable experience. We did like the thick-cut potato wedges that came with each chicken dish. Other than that, we will probably be happier at BBQ Chicken across the street. read more

I've ordered from here about three times since posting this review. The first two times- chicken was the BEST. Half original and half Kang Jung Furai Chicken (~$30 whole chicken). Original had a good amount of batter and the chicken was juicy. Kang Jung was sweet spicy and sticky. The star really is the Beer Battered Dirty Fries. Spiral cut fries, slightly thick and so crispy. Third time I ordered the chicken was small and I felt like I got 3/4 of a chicken instead of a whole. I wish the quality was consistent. read more

I really liked this place. Super clean restaurant, both bar and tables to sit at, take-out packaged well, and very friendly employees. I called in my order ahead of time and just had a few minutes to wait when I got there. I got there pretty soon after they opened and they had about 10 take-out orders being prepared. Super busy for take-out with nobody eating inside. The beer batter fries here are so good. For $3.50 you get a huge container full that could easily be shared but you're not going to want to. You'll want to eat all of these yourself. The pasta salad was interesting. Had different stuff in it such as ham and maybe mung bean sprouts. Wife and I both liked it. We both had the volcano chicken sandwich medium spicy. I'm guessing it has a dry rub because it was like playing the lottery when you took a bite. Sometimes it was mild, other times really spicy. The sweet sauce was like a glaze and balanced it out. Super crunchy batter but since it's white meat it was really dried out to the point it was like leather. I didn't care since I don't mind over fried chicken but it bothered my wife a bit. Still, I enjoyed every bite and it wasn't burnt. Sandwich came with a side of coleslaw which was a nice surprise. Not sure if you're meant to put it on the sandwich or not but I just ate it by itself. They also include a generous portion of pickled daikon and jalapenos. I can't wait to try some of their other fried chicken choices and I'll probably eat there next time since there was plenty of seating. read more

Had a great experience at Furai Irvine, so I was looking forward to introducing my wife to Furai. One hour before closing: "We don't have sandwiches right now" Ordered us a full chicken and macaroni salad with ham instead. Chicken was great, but the macaroni salad came out without the ham - completely bland and flavorless without it, and was charged the same price. Asked about the lack of ham in the macaroni salad: "We don't have ham right now" No apologies, nothing done to make it right. They could have said something before I ordered. Very disappointed in the unapologetic service and being misled on my order. Won't be back to this location. read more

Really good food, the chicken tenders and sandwiches are immaculate. Quick and fast service, chill ambiance and vibes

It's expensive for the portions but it's decent Korean fried chicken. Very hot and fresh out of the kitchen and the chicken is lean and not fatty like KoKo's. Crispy skin and good meat to batter ratio. The pickled daikon wasn't very good and the dips were okay. I think the fried chicken tasted great by itself. I'm personally a fan of the original but my brother liked the garlic and green onion flavor. Nice staff and clean store with plenty of seating and parking on a Tuesday night. read more
