This little establishment is next to Asahi Grill and across Patagonia on Ward. You won't miss it. Once I got there the building shares with a Spa Day Care. The Spa and Good Chicken shares the same entrance. It will be located on the right and you can order from the window. We ordered the following: whole chicken plate, tteokboki, garlic chicken plate, chicken plate special, and steamed pork mandoo. The whole chicken plate comes with fries and a drink. The steak fries were generously salted and very fresh. The chicken was OMG crispy on the outside, not to mention not too much batter, with juicy inside. The breast was very juicy! Didn't expect that! The chicken plate special came with this brown sauce, it tasted okay at first. It grew on me after I kept on using it as a dip sauce. I think it was simmered down chicken drips with garlic, onions and butter. It has this weird taste , which I can't quite figure out. I don't think I tasted that spice before. It's different. But you have to mix it well to get the full taste. I liked eating it with my chicken. The garlic chicken was not spicy at all, a little sweet and not too much spicy. But it was good! The tteokboki, oh man was spicy, I should have advised not too spicy and more sweetness. I couldn't handle it. It had fish cake and onions in it. I think if I had it sweeter , it would've made my top 2. The steamed pork mandoo, was eh ok. No taste unless you add shoyu. It's just pork filling with rice noodles. Overall Experience: Satisfied, chicken is juicy! Parking: tight not too much space up front, park on road Mood: full Will I go again? Definitely, if in the area and feel for good KFC!
This hole in the wall place is always good. This was my second time eating food from here and it was just as good as the first time. The only thing is there's no tables to eat on there only chairs to seat and wait for your food. I mean I guess you could just seat and eat on the chairs but I prefer a table so we can share. Trust me when you guys go here you are gonna want to try all the different chickens they have so I would go with a group and sample each other's chicken. But this time it was just me and my son so we only got two different chickens and mandu . I got the garlic chili and he got bbq and both were good. Even the mandu was delicious. Can't wait to eat here again.
Once in a while on the way home, we'll pass by this place that looks like they sell Korean fried chicken. Though with a name like "Good Chicken," we were a bit skeptical for quite a while - is it REALLY good or are you just saying that? Nonetheless, we decided to bite the bullet one weekend afternoon and stopped by to order. Our first time actually resulted in a relatively long wait. Maybe 30-40 minutes for a few orders so rest assured, no wing was left uneaten that afternoon. The wings themselves were still crisp by the time we got back to the apartment, the flavors were outstanding, and it was juicy on the inside. Good chicken might also be one of the few places that offers really good rose tteokbokki and other sides as well so don't sleep on those if you have a good appetite. The second time we got Good Chicken, we called it in prior to avoid the wait. Wings and rose tteokbokki were ready by the time we got there and they even generously threw in some extra goodies for us at no cost. Overall, I think Good Chicken makes some of the best Korean fried chicken on the island to be completely honest. Better than the franchises you see popping up. We'd probably pick this place over B.B.Q. which is one of my favorite chains. Though admittedly, we don't come as often as we could. We noticed that they opened another location in Waikiki and unfortunately, we weren't really craving Korean fried chicken that day. Though I really do hope they do well because this place deserves it. Highly recommend calling in and making an order the next time you're craving for some Korean fried chicken!
My favorite spot for crunchy and oh so awesome wings. My favorite is the garlic chili wings or boneless. They have a great crunch and the chicken is moist. The flavor is sweet shoyu garlic with a kick of heat, I love eating the extra peppers topped on. The Mandoo has a tasty filing, they don't get as much crispy as I like but still delicious. They also don't serve your normal mandoo sauce, they serve it with a pickled daikon sauce. If you want something close to the traditional sauce, ask for extra garlic chili sauce. My wife loves their Teokk Bokki, the broth is a nice sweet heat that builds as you keep eating it. They are on a back road, so if you don't seek them out, you'll never by chance walk by to enjoy their delicious food. They are also take out only. The main server is always so polite. We will definitely keep coming back for more.
If fried chicken or korean fried chicken is your thing, you can't miss out on Good Chicken! It's takeout only and the ordering window is tucked inside of the spa next door, with benches across the window for waiting for your food. It seemed like everything was made to order, so be prepared to wait at least 15 min for your freshly fried chicken. We just wanted a snack so split a "good chicken plate" which was their plain chicken with dipping gravy, 2 rice scoops, and a tossed green salad dressed with a creamy balsamic dressing for $10 (a really good deal nowadays!). The chicken was SO crispy on the outside (it crackled as we bit into it), and super juicy and flavorful on the inside. Will definitely return to try some of their sauced options! This place seems like a real gem.
Bandit was just driving passing by to this Korean fried chicken house, so off trying 'em coz chicken is what for dinner. Take note that this eatery is "take out only". And if you don't have the patience to wait, call ahead! Food: Chicken Wing Original Fried, 20pcs. ($30.95) - crispy from the outside and juicy from the inside. Though it wasn't seasoned well I'm glad that I decided to pay for an extra sauces (honey shoyu & BBQ Chicken) so that helped a lot to have some savory flavor. Kimari (seaweed roll), 4pcs. ($5.95) - surprisingly ono! T'was my first time having this & I did enjoy it. The light coated batter makes everything crispy good. The filling was a lil bit surprising as well. Thought there's gonna be some meat inside but it's all glass noodle. It kinda taste a bit sweet & I am not sure how kimari really tastes like but overall I love it. I can eat 'em all lunch long! Overall t'was good! French Fries ($3.50) - love this! It was seasoned with salt perfectly. Has a good crunch and did cook fresh. Fries will always be good as side dish so make sure you grab this! While waiting for our order I noticed that the guy whose taking the order always telling their customers 17mins. to wait. Unfortunately the waiting time is always more than that. As per our order we waited almost an hour! Good thing I'm not that really hungry at that point. And as a consolation, the guy gave us free two drinks & a pickled radish in a very small container. T'was nice of him! Overall service is good but the main dish we ordered doesn't really have a "big wow" feature. Typical kfc imo. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps!
Kimari: glass noodles wrapped in nori, battered and deep fried. Very good when fresh. Eat this quickly because it is not as good after 2 hours. Order this and snack on your way home. Fried pork mandoo: very delicious and one of the best I have had, perhaps because it is homemade. Fat and juicy. Wish they had a sauce to go with this. Still delicious eaten naked. Chili garlic plate was delicious. The garlic and jalapeno sauce drizzled over the chicken wings was the highlight of this plate. I wish they sold it in a bottle. Prize is descent for a plate, but for all you chicken wingers out there, there was only 5 wings, so you will need to order sides. Parking is limited on property. Take out only. I would return to try the other plates, and to get more mandoo.
Tried some korean fried chicken today in Ward. They have several parking stalls in the front. I was lucky and scored the last stall. The building is shared with a massage place. In the front is good chicken and in the back is a Korean Spa. Service was very minimal. The guy at the register was definitely a man with very few words and a stern face. I opted for the good chicken plate for $10. It came with 2 chicken, 2 scoops rice, and a tossed salad. The chicken skin has a very interesting crisp to it that no other place really has. next time i would probably just try boneless wings since there wasnt much meat on the chicken that i ordered.
I love a no-frills eatery. There are lots of Korean fried chicken places in town. But, this stands out for its hearty mandoo and tasty chicken. First, there are 2 kinds of mandoo, a pork and a kimchee. Both are plump and filled with veggies, ground pork, and yam noodles. Get the kimchee mandoo for the extra flavor. Next, we tried the boneless garlic chili chicken. I really liked this flavor. It seems unique to this place. The sauce is soy sauce based with chilis and slightly sweet. It's not a sticky glaze. I recommend it because it's not too spicy. The boneless pieces were nice pieces of chicken and not formed patties. I would get this again. I called in my order, and it took about 15-20 minutes. I got there a little early and was offered a can of green tea. That was such a treat! Nice customer service!There are a few big chairs for the wait. It's a take out place, so there is no eat-in area. The hard part is driving home with the smell of yummy chicken and mandoo. Oh heck, just pull over and eat in the car!
I've been meaning to try this spot for a while now as I've been hearing good things about it. We decided to try it out because we love fried chicken. When you get to the location, they have a limited amount of parking stalls out front. Luckily, there was one stall left. The main entrance is shared with a massage business and the order window to Good Chicken is located to the right as you enter. They have several benches where you can sit and wait for your order directly across of the order window. There was a male at the counter to take our order. He was very friendly and suggested which type of chicken to try and order based on what we liked. There was a female in the back who appreared to be cooking. The menu is posted near the window and they also have a video running of people eating their fried chicken to the right of the menu. We ordered: 1) Tonkatsu Plate - the tonkatsu had a good amount of pork in it and it was crunchy with a tasty sauce 2) Garlic Chili Fried Chicken Plate - the fried chicken was fried well with no pink. The garlic chili sauce was yummy but the jalapeño was very spicy, a little too spicy for me so I didn't eat any more after I tried it once. 3) Fried Mandoo - really good and worth getting! The filling was tasty and the mandoo had a great crisp. We waited about 10 min for our order which was not bad as the food was crispy. Each plate comes with rice and either toss or mac salad. They also offer pickled daikon which comes in a small sauce container. I would return to try a differnt flavor of chicken and to definitely get some mandoo.
"All eyes on me when I step in the room." -BLACKPINK I was hankering for Korean when my bestie and BFF started talking Korea. I love things Korean too, especially K-Drama, BLACKPINK, and Korean KFC! So of course good KFC needed stat like Boombayah! I perused Yelp for "Korean Fried Chicken" and several popped to the top, but one stood out because I admit "Good Chicken" is it's name! C'mon! Pretty Savage! Located near Ward and the industrial side is where you'll find the "Barn Red" building that looks like well a barn lol! Just note there are four skinny parking spaces up front shared with the Korean Spa & Massage business! I ended up looping three times before a spot opened up. And I'm guessing both businesses are related somehow... 'cause the space in front of the Spa & Massage was a chicken customer! Good Chicken is quite popular but know it's a "take-out" spot only! I ordered Boneless Chicken Plate with Honey at the counter. Since it's made to order I was told a 10-minute wait. All good as I sat on the bench with the other young thugs not knowing it was waiting area for the Massage Parlor! Hey yo, I'm only here for the chicken hope it's good! Bet You Wanna! :D My order is called and the plate is heavy so that's a good sign! Take-out only so I take it to Ward Center to eat. Rice, Mac-salad, Korean Pickled Radish and of course that addicting Korean Fried Chicken! Boneless! How You Like That?! Ohhhhh my Gawd! That first bite was everything! Jisoo come share with me! Moist chicken with crisp exterior and that honey, Honnay took it next level! For $15 after taxes it was worth savoring every lick and bite! So worth! I'll go again! Ddu-Du Ddu-Du ohhhhh baby I recommend Good Chicken for all KFC lovers! Hey! The chicken is HELLA GOOD! Crisp with addicting flavors and if you like Playing With Fire... they have FIYAH too! I'll be back anytime I'm Ready For Love! I love the KFC here! See U Later!
We were excited to try this place. We ordered the garlic chili chicken (10 pieces) and a side mac salad. The flavor on the chicken was almost non existent. I barely tasted garlic or chili. I needed more sauce to dip the wings in since it nearly tasted like plain wings. Mac salad just tasted like mayo. Since the spot is just a window you order at, you'd think the prices would reflect that. Skip this spot and go to a sit down restaurant with better tasting wings.
This is my second time here and it's never a disappointment! You want GOOD CHICKEN? Well, You will get GREAT CHICKEN and MANDOO instead! This time instead of picking up for dinner(which ended up doing anyway), we were picking up for Super Bowl Sunday (on a Sat night bc they are closed on Sundays). They held up well the next day after reheating it in our air-fryer which was still crispy and full of flavor. We decided on three choices- 30 Regular, 30 Garlic Chili and the 30 Korean and some steamed mandoo (sooo ono) plus since we were already here, we chose the Honey Shoyu plate which my son loved so much that I only got one piece for myself (oh well, next time I'll pick up more). The BIG HIT with everyone was the Chili Garlic which there were no leftovers at all. It has a little tingle but that's about it. The flavors were all on point and the chicken is moist, plump and plentiful. The price point is cheaper than Wild Buffalo Wings and their chicken is not slim at all. While I do love Foodland's salt and vinegar wings, their chicken wings are tiny and lacking. All in all, the food is fresh and we love that they really concentrate on making absolutely AMAZING GOOD CHICKEN! Next time, I'll get more mandoo and try their other features. Thanks Yelper Andy for your review and photos.

I went with a friend because they had open seating available but once we were sat tell me why the waiter didn't come till 15 min after! Not only that but the fact that he helped someone who sat after us first, and serviced them drinks first? Terrible service automatically. When the time came to order and I was still unsure of what to get he rushed me through the whole menu and told me what was great or not. Nothing special about the food as it tasted like any other chicken and Kimbap that I could get from any Korean restaurant. read more
cheap, really quality chicken. came in late after a run club and there was only a half hour between when i got there and closing. ordered dak gangjeong chicken. it was a nice traditional sweet / spicy sauce that's a combination of gochujang and honey im assuming? so great and a awesome deal. takeout only read more

What a great little place! A hidden gem from the rest of the chaotic holiday madness! I needed something to eat, and I took a wrong turn and at first drove past, and then saw the White Elephant...looked them both up and Good Chicken was the better of the two, so why not. The owner is so friendly! Told him it was my first time, and I came to find out they were at Shirokiya but moved after the pandemic. I ordered the honey shoyu boneless chicken, and the beef mandoo, which I've never had. I ordered a side of mac salad, but the owner said it came with. It took about 15 minutes. There are four parking spaces right in front. It is also adjacent to a Korean spa, so if you were inclined, you could go get a salt scrub, and then pick up some food after. The parking really helps, because the street parking is non-existent. Brought the meal back to my hotel. The chicken was nice and crispy! Should've asked for extra sauce, but the flavor was good. He also gave me some extra mac salad which was nice! The mandoo was delicious as well! Great place to pick up some very tasty food! Mahalo Good Chicken! read more
Came here for lunch one day because i seen someone post about it on instagram. We came right when they opened so parking wasn't an issue. There are a few stalls right in front of the store. As we entered, the owner was very friendly. He helped us decide what to order. They serve pretty much chicken but you can also get mandoo as well. The food is made to order, it took kind of a long time to come out. So a tip would be to call in your order ahead of time. The chicken was delicious, i didn't really like the mandoo though. Didn't care for the noodles in it. read more

My friend raved about Good Chicken so I looked them up on Yelp. Lyla D wrote such a wonderful review about this spot, I decided to check them out. Fried foods isn't really my thing but I'll make an exception from time to time when someone raves about a spot. Good Chicken is in the Ward area and has about 4 parking stalls right in front of the restaurant. Currently it's take out only till COVID-19 gets better and it's safer for dine in according to the male cashier. If you're in a hurry or on a time constraint, I would recommend calling in your order ahead of time. We came here for lunch and realized they are take out only so we opted to run our errands first then call in a phone order on our way home. Mink wanted to try their Honey Shoyu and I was recommended to try their Garlic Chili. I called in the order and asked for 10 Garlic Chili and 10 Honey Shoyu totaling 20 pieces. They told me about 17 minutes so we headed back. When I told the cashier my name for the phone order, he said $60+ and I was confused. There was a miscommunication and they thought I wanted 20 pieces of each. He went back to the kitchen and asked them to adjust the order. Not too long after paying, our order was ready. It smelled really good. Both of us couldn't wait to give them a try. When we got home, we got plates and dug right in. The chicken was fried perfectly and it was still very crunchy after our commute home. The flavors were good and I liked the Garlic Chili a lot more than the Honey Shoyu. Thinly sliced chilis in the Garlic Chili was quite tasty and added a slight kick to the dish. The chicken meat wasn't over cooked nor dry. Their container of pickled daikon was the perfect compliment to the meal. Next time I'll know to say half or full order to avoid any confusion. My friend, Lyla D and the name of the restaurant are on point, this place has good chicken. read more

After numerous visits here is finally tried something new. I got the shoyu honey chicken and I don't why I hadn't gotten it earlier! The sweet and savory complement each other so well and I was very impressed. Always fresh and crisp chicken served. There owner is always so nice and has a smile on his face. Parking is at a premium but, there is a lot of street parking available if needed. I highly recommend checking out good chicken and try as much as you can. You won't be disappointed. Aloha read more
Easy to order online and pick up. I ordered honey shoyu plate and kimari. Honey shoyu chickens were tasty but did not have strong flavor of honey nor shoyu. Kimari a Korean deep fried seaweed roll that is made by rolling glass noodles into nori sheets. It was first time I tried and it was really good with chilly sauce read more

It's a brand new month, time to shake a leg! There were about 5 people waiting when I got there. The parking stalls up front are rather limited (maybe 5 at most) so if anything, have someone drive, you hop out, they circle around or park down the street and come grab you after. Uncle working the counter was super accommodating and grateful for the business. There was another customer who was eating his plate on the sidewalk and came back to tell uncle that everything was so good, and uncle was so humble about the whole thing. As for the food, the flavors were on point for me. Not too spicy, nor too salty. And the plates, came with mac salad that had a little corn mixed into it, which I liked. The pickled radish and shoyu onions were my favorite parts that complimented the main dishes well (and uncle threw those in for free, even though we told him that we were willing pay for extra extra radish; so we just tipped him extra). Even though I didn't say anything about the 20+ min wait, he threw in a couple more pieces of mandoo as an apology for making us wait. Very nice gesture, and totally unexpected! I would highly recommend that you call-in your order before you make your way out there because everything is made to order and piping hot! read more
With so many Korean fried chicken options, it's the little things that set them apart. Here's what you need to know: - Easy ordering, use the QR code or give them a call. It's just a takeout window, no place to sit. - Parking, they have a few stalls right in front, perfect for getting in and out. - Nice staff, we got some extra mandoo and daikon pickles - Garlic Chili wings were hot and tasty, though they weren't garlicky or spicy. They tasted like seasoned shoyu wings with jalapeños slices in the sauce. Also, if you have sauce at the bottom of your container, rescue your chicken, our bottom layer was soggy. - Fried Mandoo was full of vermicelli, veggies, and pork but I wish there was a dipping sauce. Overall Good Chicken is a good choice to get your chicken fix. read more
I love fried chicken and open to try any different places. Heard about this place and had some mixed thoughts about it. But still, let's try. It's located near Asahi Grill at Ward. Only a few parking spots. We placed a phone order for takeout and was told it'll be 20 minutes. We got there and it came out 45 minutes. We ordered garlic chicken and kimchi pork mandoo. It also came with pickled daikon. Garlic chicken was lacking flavor. No garlic or spicy flavor to it. It seemed soggy, like it wasn't fried enough. Kimchi mandoo was tasty and a bit spicy. It was filled with kimchi and pork. It had enough flavor without needing any sauce for it. Overall, this was okay fried chicken. I would go back for the mandoo though. Pricing is okay. read more
I am a fan of Good Chicken's fried chicken wings. The wings are moist, plump, and have a pretty tasty breading on it. I called in our order for half an order of the plain fried chicken wings, and it was ready in about 20 minutes. There are 4 parking stalls right in front of the building - cross your fingers that one will have your name on it when you pull up. After getting my box of chicken wings, I drove to the Ohana Marketplace parking lot and because the wings smelled so good, my kids wanted to try some, and we ended up inhaling the 10 wings in no time. I'll be back soon to try the honey shoyu and homemade pork mandoo! read more

An ad for Good Chicken popped up on my Instagram. We were in the area, the chicken looked good, hubs loves his fried chicken, so we headed over. We decided on the chicken and garlic chili chicken plates. Each plate comes with 2 scoops of rice, pickled radish, and choice of toss or mac salad. $12.95 each. There was a wait for our food, but they were obviously made to order cuz they were piping hot. Both were sooo good. The garlic chili sauce was yummy, especially with the rice. Just a lil kick of spiciness. However, I like the regular one more as it was crispy (since no sauce). Both orders of the chicken were juicy, too. Would definitely return and would like to try their mandoo next time as well. read more
Sorry to report , but Good Chicken doesn't have good chicken. It was not good at all. It was GREAT! One of my Yelp friends, Michelle T. posted photos of the Korean fried chicken for this place and I was instantly interested. The size of the chicken wings, and the color and texture of the batter along with the solid reviews, I had to bookmark this place! Good Chicken, such a humble name, is located in Kaka'ako, close to Ward Ave, between Queen St and Kapiolani Blvd., along Kawaiahao St. Near Hale Koa Brewing Co. There's only a few parking stalls outside. Look for the red painted exterior and the psycho chicken. The choices here are simple: Fried Chicken or Mandoo (or Tonkatsu). $12.95 for fried or steamed mandoo. $14.95 for Garlic Chili, Honey Shoyu, or BBQ ($1 less for Plain) 10-piece Fried Chicken, and $27.95 for 20. Opted for the Plain Fried Chicken to taste the original. They're made to order, so it'll take 10-12 minutes. It was steaming hot and the aroma was intoxicating on the drive home. Very difficult to pop open the container and chow down. The chicken wings held up very well. The skin was very crispy. The meat was tender and juicy. The wing was a nice size. The flavor was awesome! There was such a nice balance of saltiness and savoriness with a touch of sweetness that took this chicken wings to the next level. And it wasn't overpowering, so you can still taste the chicken. The batter was excellent and deep fried very well to a nice golden brown. I don't think I've had Plain Chicken Wings quite like this. It is unique. The taste is usually just salt and sometimes pepper at other places. I feel it's much better than Vons! Overall, I was quite happy and impressed with the fried Chicken Wings from Good Chicken. The price is reasonable. Good, friendly service. You also get a complimentary pickled radish, but that's not worth mentioning. Rather have Kim Chee! I'm a fan. I'll definitely come back for more Wings and try other things. read more
This place do have good chicken. The wings were juicy and crispy. It was easy to order and the man who took the phone order was very nice. The wait time was fast-15 min or so. I called in the order and took a co-worker with me to help pick up our order, since parking was limited. Some stalls were for the neighboring business, Herbal Spa, Sauna & Salon. When we arrived, sure enough, all of the stalls were taken. The coating was the battered type although I kind of preferred the breaded crumb type. Their chicken wings does have a nice crunch since it was twice fried from what I read. My co-worker mentioned it needed more sauce and that was the case for me too and other reviewers. I do like it tasty but not too soaked. The honey soy sauce was mild and subtle but the Garlic Chili with slices of a few jalapeño was not hot at all but had a little kick to it which I liked. I didn't eat the sliced jalapeño but I tossed it to a side. It may not be the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) wings, but it's better than some other fried chicken wing places. I still crave and missed the former Wacky Food's soy garlic chicken wings! It's now a bakery now. Anyways, Good Chicken's definitely worth a try and you can decide for yourself. I will definitely return to try the other flavors and food items. Perhaps you can request for more sauce for your chicken wings. They are located on Kawaiahao St just passed Asahi Grill & Climb Aloha store towards the Ala Moana direction. Thanks for reading my review! =) read more
And that is correct!! Good chicken people. Actually, I call it excellent chicken. I have been craving some good, and I mean good Korean fried chicken. I have always been pessimistic here in Honolulu because I have tried a few and they all have been too sweet or not spicy enough. I ordered the garlic chili boneless chicken (because I am lazy tonight, but I usually order bone in) and side tteokbokki. Then kind man said 17 minutes when I called and I was grateful because they were closing in 25! I got there and it was nice and hot and he told me that the tteokbokki was going to be very hot. It temperature hot, but if you know Koreans, we like to eating piping hot things!! I took a bite of tteokbokki and the only thing I have to say is that it was little runnier than usual but the taste was on point. The chicken pieces were juicy and there were a good amount for the order. It wasn't too fried and the ratio of chicken skin and chicken was perfect. Honestly, this is the best Korean chicken that I have eaten on island. Tasty, spicy but not overly, filling, and not crazy overly priced. The chicken honestly didn't have a bad taste to it like some places do. I will be back for sure and I hope this review will help others to decide to try this place!! read more

Little hole in the wall of the red building on Kawaiaha'o St. Only a few parking stalls in front the building. We ordered the garlic chili,honey shoyu,tteok bokki and Kumari. The garlic chili was not that spicy to me,but it does have a kick to it. The hone shoyu is very flavorful.the meat is very tender and kinda just falls off the bone. All in all I would come here again. read more

Seriously the best chicken ever. The garlic chili is my favorite as well as the rose ttoekbokki which doubles as a dipping sauce for French fries or mandoo. Order extra because it's just as good cold or reheated the next day. read more
Called in my order a little after they opened and 15 minutes later I parked in one of the stalls right in front, paid, and headed home with two streaming paper containers of food and the windows rolled down. Food smelled so good, though! Good Chicken seems to be carved out of the lobby of the massage place. Weird. On the plus side, you can see into the kitchen and it's spotless. Garlic chili chicken is as others have written. Chicken is fried well, batter is great, sauce is SO yummy that I wish it was thicker or stuck better. The garlic smells strong but is actually cooked into the sauce so it won't blow you out of the water. Also it's only slightly spicy from the slices of jalapeño that are part of the tasty sauce. The fried mandoo were terrific, maybe even better than the chicken. Tons of filling with a great balance of ground meat and noodles. These get served with shoyu vinegar pickled onions. Yum. Prices are about the same as the other KFC spots but this place also has plate lunches and a larger menu, though. I hope they can make it through the pandemic. It's a terrific spot! read more
