Everything we ordered was delicious, but our favorite was the gim ballad chicken! The chicken is coated in this crispy seaweed batter, and it was SO good--definitely the standout dish for us! The lady serving us was also incredibly generous and sweet enough to give us a sample plate of the chicken, which we really appreciated. Great food, great service, and such a nice experience overall. read more

4/5 FOOD: tender size was GREAT, i can't remember the last time i got a normal/large size tender from a chicken spot. tenders had some crunch, no fatty pieces, and weren't greasy #YAY flavors ordered: honey luv rap + mala gala. they were basic glaze flavors, would have wanted more seasoning to these flavors though. sweet potato fries were hot, sweet, and had a good crunch! SERVICE: workers were fast and brought out food within 10-15 minutes. overall nice and polite staff. AMBIANCE: clean place, had a good dj mix playing on speaker system and tv. read more

I Got My Sound Chicken - Downey - M - 6PCS TENDERS, SWEET POPATO FRIES - Chicken Shop Near Me - Downey, California

I had the best fried chicken at here when I was driving thru Downey and it was such a delicious surprise. Everyone by now has tasted Korean Fried Chicken but what makes this spot different are the flavor combinations, grilled chicken options, sandwiches, their SECERT MENU (ask for KEVIN) and my absolute favorite is the Langsaeb Chicken which is simply cut fried chicken thighs and covered in most delicious tangy, spicy, slightly sweet green sauce. It's hella spicy but so addictive if you love THAI FLAVORS. Also don't be afraid of the Gim aka black fried chicken because it's coated in roasted seasoned seaweed which gives it an extra crunch and umami. read more

Yummm I love their chicken. I love how everything stays moist and the pieces are pretty big. My favorite flavor is the gim ballad as it's fried with seaweed wrapped around it. They have a couple of tables there but you can also grab Togo as well. read more

I love their Fullerton location so wanted to try this Downey location when they opened. This location is different than their Fullerton one because it was more basic. Their menu didn't include a lot of items the Fullerton one has and their service was different as well. Service was great but you get more sit down service at the other location. This was definitely way more casual. I came with one other person for lunch on a Saturday and it was busy but not bad. For food we both got their 8 piece and shared a fishcake soup. For their 8 piece they allow for 2 flavors. I went with the TNT and Mala Gala since I wanted something spicy. The TNT was more of a dry rub and the mala gala had a slight sichuan flavor. Both were good but honestly a little under whelming for me. They were both less spicy than their other location. But they were fried perfectly. The person I came with got their original flavor and also felt it was alright. The fishcake soup was alright but also kind of lacking in flavor. The inside is super causal with tables and chairs. You order at the front and they will bring it out to you. They have gloves, ketchup, and utensils for you to grab. Parking was easy since it's located in a strip mall and share a parking lot. read more

I went in on my lunch break and the ambiance had me in a nostalgic choke hold. Old school radios covered the main check out area and old school records covered the walls. The service was top tier and fast. I was even offered a water cup and free sauces to go with my 6 piece wings. The wings were so big and juicy cooked to perfection with a zesty sauce that made my taste buds dance. They even highlight other businesses in the area, so bring a business card. Overall 10/10 experience. read more

First time here and quite impressed! The rice was just a little stale/old. I ordered the chinbop which comes with 4 wings, two scoops of steamed rice and 6 dumplings! Portions were huge! I didn't finish the rice. The dumplings were hot and cooked well. I ordered the original wings and all were perfectly crisped! The service was great since I went at a later lunch time. They brought the food right out to me which I appreciated! Ambience was nice and clean. I would definitely like to visit the fullerton location though because it seems to offer more! read more

When it comes to Korean fried chicken, there are some that do it justice. This place definitely hits the spot. The chicken is delicious and flavorful. I had the chicken tenders with the honey luv rap and red disco flavors. You certainly can't go wrong with those flavors. And getting the largest size allowed me to eat it for multiple meals because it was a massive portion size. read more

I Got My Sound Chicken - Downey - Honey luv rap and red disco flavors - Chicken Shop Near Me - Downey, California

I am so conflicted with this place. Food was legit good, not amazing but solid. Fresh fried wings with some unique flavors. Key point here, "some". Just some humble words of suggestion, this place needs a bigger menu. Fries is not enough, and def more entrees. I like the fact this place has a Music theme, but it feels half-assed. So some flavors on the menu have music references, but not all. This place opened right after another KFC place that was there after covid. I asked the server if this was new ownership or a re-brand. Didint really get a clear answer. Back to the food. I tried the Mala Gala & Red Disco wings. Both were fire. Samba fried were also yummy as well. Like I said earlier more apps and some Chimkin Sandos would totally change the menu, and maybe some more flavor options for the KFC wings. Plenty of parking right in front, located in the Downey Landing shop area behind the Benihana. read more

Back at one of the best k chicken spots. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. The playlist and vibes here are on point and everything is fried to order. This time I got their laseng chicken set, tnt chicken sando, and 8 piece wings with their mala gala, red disco, anchovy, and seaweed one which I was my fave last time. All the chicken here was amazingly crispity crunchity and paired well with their made in house sauces. The laseng chicken set came with soft steamed broccoli topped with like a mayoy drizzle, crunchy sweet pickled radish, sticky rice, and a fried chicken cutlet topped with like a spicy, jalapenoy, limey sauce. The tnt chicken sando had a soft chewy bun, crunchy briney pickles, was decently spicy and lowkey reminded me of buffalo sauce. The mala gala wings had peppery spicy flaves, the red disco was more like a sweet spicy sticky situation, and the anchovy one was really savory, salty with a light fishy essence but nothing offensive. Overall this place is still pretty good. Laseng chicken set $15.99 Double TNT chicken sando $15.99 8 pc wing $17.99 read more

Came here on a Saturday evening found parking infront of the Handle's Ice Cream and walked over. Greeted when I walked in and allowed time to look at the menu. Ordered the 6 wings -- half Lemon Curry & Honey Luv Rap and Fries w/ Lemon Curry seasoning on top. Wait time was not an issue. Samplings of some sort of Chex mix was offered. I took in the aesthetics of records on the wall and various radios mounted around the pickup counter. Super cool. The issue was the flavoring of my food. The fries and half of my wings tasted like the chicken flavoring/ seasoning packet you put in your top ramen. This threw me completely off and I didn't like that. My fries were hot and fresh and I liked the flavoring of the Honey Luv Rap. If I were to return I would stay clear of the "Lemon Curry" anything because it just reminded me of chicken seasoning packet for top ramen which was disappointing. read more

The food here was really good! My husband and I both got the 2 piece chicken tender combo with fries and a drink. I was a little dubious about only 2 pieces, but they were a good size - in fact, I didn't finish mine. We both got the honey soy flavour but there are at least 6 different flavours to choose from with varying levels of heat. Fries were also a generous size and very fresh and hot! The interior is very cute; the walls are decorated with vinyl records and album covers, with small transistor radios by the register. Service was so-so and unfortunately the entire time we were there (lunch time on a weekday with a lot of other businesses around) we were the only customers. Please try this place so they don't go under! You won't be sorry! read more

My parents recommended this place to me and i got the 3 tenders combo which comes with a flavor (honey luv rap) and fries and a drink. Good deal! The tenders were incredible - light crispy breading and fat juicy chicken. I like a thin fry and these were cooked perfectly. Service was welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately i think they were a bit short staffed because the food seemed to take awhile. Its a smaller space but perfect for lunch, lots of parking, great options and music decor. Clean bathroom. I would totally come back read more

They took awhile to give us our food but that's a good sign to me because when we received our food it was hot and fresh. I think everything was made to order. We ordered the six piece wings with the red soul and honey soy. And we ordered a small popping chicken also lemon pepper, curry, and the chicken dumplings which were fried but they were very good and they come with a special spicy sauce which was very tasty. The ranch reminds me of Wingstop ranch so I have a feeling it's made the same way, which is great news for me because wring stop ranch is my favorite. The six piece chicken wings were very crispy. The red soul was very saucy, but the honey soy was more of a dry sauce. I will probably not order the chicken wings again, but I'll do the chicken tenders instead next time I just felt like the chicken wings were very large and very thick. The popping chicken was very crunchy, and I felt like most of the pieces were breading and did not match the photo on the displayed menu however they were very well seasoned and they were still very good with the ranch. This is a good option if you have kids and the small seemed large to us. The fried dumplings were very good. We will come again and try a different flavor. I gave this four stars because I wish the chicken wings were fried a little more. The chicken was cooked all the way through but for me personally, I would just like them more crispy. I had Korean fried chicken a few times from other places and that is what I am comparing this to. Customer service was great read more

We had their fried chicken for the first time last July at the Fullerton branch, and my husband hasn't shut up about it since. He tells everyone how life-changing their chicken is. Now that we're back in LA, of course we will have some of their fried chicken. We hit this branch because it's 10 miles closer than Fullerton. Pulled up around noon on a Sunday and this place was empty. Vibe here is more "quick bite" than "hangout spot," unlike Fullerton which feels like a chill fried chicken lounge (if that's a thing). We got the Honey Luv and Disco Red wings, plus the curry lemon popcorn chicken. Food came out hot, fast, and totally delicious. Still a solid 5/5, but next time we'll drive the extra miles for the Fullerton vibes. read more

I'm a chicken tender connoisseur and this is the best chicken tender I've ever had. I ordered the 10 piece chicken tender honey luv trap, red disco, and original. The chicken itself was massive, meaty and had a thin layer of breading that was very crispy but had a crispy snap to each bite. The honey luv trap had a nice subtle sweet flavor with a hint of soy; the red disco was sweet and spicy similar to the Thai Aroy-D sauce and original was plain. The ratio of chicken meat to breading is exactly what you want, generous, I also think the sauce could be heavier because there's so much chicken meat (a good problem to have). The restaurant was clean and vibrant and the owner Chloe is sweet and the service was amazing. I look forward to going back! read more

I Got My Sound Chicken - Downey - TENDER 10 PCS - Chicken Shop Near Me - Downey, California

Summary: Super super crispy chicken, really friendly service and plenty of sitting room inside. Easily fits around 20+ people and the decor in the front is pretty cool. Full food & sauces: Super crispy popcorn chicken, when ordering I was told this is the crispiest popcorn chicken with a emphasis on the texture. She also was very nice and gave me 3 different sauces (honey, jalapeño, and ranch) and also recommended having the sauce on the side. Personally for me, the chicken was really really crispy, but this can partially offset the flavor of the chicken too. At times it felt like it was just dominantly batter. Now the serving size is pretty good so no matter what at normal appetite you should be good for a full meal / shareable snack. 7.2/10 Honey: The honey sauce wasn't bad, a good flavor of sweet and savory that wasn't too overpowering but still noticable. 5.5/10 Jalapeño: Nice small kick from the jalapeño, like a little spicy / savory flavor. This one is definitely more potent then honey and more flavorful 6/10 Ranch: standard ranch, nothing crazy. Note: Sauce sizing isn't bad for dipping, to be honest I normally like dipping but the sauce sizes are too small to really coat the chicken and makes me debate is getting it coated instead would benefit the flavor profiles. read more

Great fried chicken! The wings are huuuuge I got 6 but I could've done ok with just 4. Plenty of flavor options. The ones we got were good but I would probably not get the seaweed one again. Good fries but I expected a lot more kimchi and cheese for the price. Service was great. Plenty of parking. Decor is like a record store feel. read more

This establishment used to be running chicks and it is located in the Downey promenade close to handels ice cream. I wonder if the name sounds better in Korean I'm not sure if it's a lie literal translation. The place is decorated really nice. I don't like Korean wings very much but the different flavors did peek my interest. It may be a little better than running chicks I guess there are not so fried and maybe have more flavor. I actually went because I saw the menu had anchovy fries. But it's just the oil and not much of it. They still were good. It would have been better with actual pieces of anchovies, but then again that's an acquired taste not everybody would like it. I on the other hand would have loved it! I may go back to try the seaweed flavor wings, I believe that's their signature flavor. It sounds very interesting. read more

So this spot was awesome went with my wife and wings were amazing tasty and crunchy, if you're looking for flavor this is a good spot! The chicken strips was striping in all the sense of the meaning! Only complaints is I need more ranch but that's an easy fix. lol read more

I came here after visiting Columbia Memorial Space Center with friends. We got Handel's ice cream and also decided to have late lunch here. Upon entering the restaurant, I liked how the wall is covered with vinyl records and the cashier counter has these unique and vintage radios. Bringing back the nostalgia back in the days. Glad that I came with friends so I can order multiple items. Usually in other places, they only allow us to choose up to 2 flavors, but the owner was so nice and allowed us to try more than 2 flavors. We also ordered the loaded samba fries, poppin chicken and lemon curry fries. The chicken wings came in this cool vinyl record plating that I found perfect to go hand in hand with all the decor. My favorite is the Gim Ballad wings. The outside coating is very crispy and the chicken inside is juicy. My older son's favorite is the TNT wings since he loves spicy food. The lemon curry fries is mild enough that little kids can eat them too. Out of curiosity, I asked them what is the meaning of Gim Ballad, and they said Gim means seaweed in Korean. The size of the wing is decent and not too small. The price is standard at 6 wings for $13.99. And they gave a cup of cole slaw, pickled radish (a must to eat together with Korean chicken!), ranch and the house special spicy sauce all for free! I love the spicy sauce. It's not too spicy and has a tanginess to it. I like how the pickled radish is different and has a pink color to it. Makes me think that they must have put much effort to create something unique out of the white-colored pickled normally found in all Korean chicken restaurants. As part of the grand opening event, we could play the claw machine game to win prizes. My little one got the furikake chex mix as the prize. We opened and ate it and couldn't stop eating them. Since my kids like the food, we also ordered some wings for to-go. Our order came in this cute sturdy vintage looking radio box. This restaurant is a bit far from our home but we'll definitely visit again when we're in the area. read more

Got recommendation from my friend and decided to try this new place. It was so good. Crispy and flavorful on the outside and juicy inside. They have 9 unique different flavors you can pick from. My favorite is the TNT and honey luv rap. For the fries, I would say the loaded samba fries is the bomb. Love it!! The owner is very humble and friendly. The service is amazing. She's really attentive and makes sure we got everything that we need. All the utensils and napkins are available on the side. They also provide a plastic gloves, so your hands don't get dirty. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. They have varieties of radio and black vinyl disc as decorations. It's like an old music theme restaurant. Even the placemat is from the black vinyl disk. Very cute. Definitely recommend this place for the Korean fried chicken lovers!!! read more

We checked out this spot after hearing about it from some friends. We were in the area and you usually don't think of Korean fried chicken with this area, but the place was legit. It was done really well here and they definitely had their unique take on it, in a good way. We tried a bunch of stuff but some of our favorites were: Gim Ballad Wings, Honey Luv Rap Wings, Anchovy Poppin Chicken, TNT Tenders, Red Disco Tenders, Loaded Samba Fries. The highlights for me were probably the gim ballad wings and anchovy popcorn chicken. We havn't seen these anywhere else and it was really good. Also enjoyed the musical theme of the restaurant. Very cool retro feel with vinyl covers on the walls. They have beer and soju too which really just makes this place even more legit. Overall, we left very impressed. Will definitely come back when we're in the area again. read more

First time here on a Saturday. Got the 4 wing combo and a side order of 6 pc wings. Flavor-wise, had the original pop, the honey love, and the gim ballad (some flavors have extra charges). Chicken was amazing! Had a great crunch and the flavors really came through. Fries were the usual, wish they would add more side options in the future. Service was great, too. Everyone was friendly and answered all our questions. Neat place with a lot old school vinyl covers and neon lights. Ample parking as it's in a busy area. Overall, a great place to chill, satisfy your Korean wing cravings, and solid flavor choices. read more

My brother in law brought wings for us to try and I was like hmm ok sure I'll try.

I Got My Sound Chicken - Downey - Seaweed chicken from they menu - Chicken Shop Near Me - Downey, California

I got my sound Chicken is a Korean fried chicken spot, and let me tell you... it's amazing! Yesterday We got the combo with 6 wings and fries, doing half Honey Luv and half Lemon Pepper Curry, and both flavors did not disappoint. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and cooked great, and the fries were really good too. Loved dipping everything in ranch every now and then. I also got the pineapple drink that's mixed with Sprite. It was alright I guess, just not really for me since I didn't realize it came mixed with Sprite. The young girl behind the counter was friendly and explained the menu choices of wing flavors really well, which honestly helped a lot when choosing the chicken flavors. I definitely want to go back and try the other flavors too. The music was a vibe, and the decor was cool to look at and read while waiting. Definitely coming back for more! read more

Crispy juicy chicken with unique flavors! Was around the area & wanted to try something new. The cashier was really friendly and helpful in helping us choose what to get. I opted for the anchovy fries & 12 piece wing set (can choose 3 flavors). We got the gim ballad, red disco, and honey luv rap - all for takeout. All the wings were very juicy, and the exterior was hot and crispy - very impressed by the batter & flavor. Gim Ballad - I got this bc the dark color intrigued me, the cashier did warn its seaweed and very seaweed forward flavor and she was right lol. While it wasn't my favorite bc I'm not obsessed with seaweed, the crunchy seaweed exterior was really good. Would recommend if you're into seaweed Red disco - it's their OG sweet n a little spicy sauce and I really enjoyed this! Must try. Honey luv rap - this one is not spicy (which is why we got it) and I think more of a dry rub. Still really good flavor within the chicken, would recommend. The anchovy fries were nice and crispy and had a more delicate anchovy taste nothing crazy. It's like slightly more elevated than plain fries if that makes sense - so you may or may not like it just dont expect super bold anchovy flavors. Would definitely go back to try other flavors as they sure know how to fry chicken! Restaurant itself is very colorful, clean and lively :) read more

My boyfriend and I checked this place out last night and wow--the chicken is incredible! Hands down the best Korean fried chicken I've ever had. They have a flavor called Gim Ballad (seaweed flavor), and it's absolutely amazing. Vinny, the server, was fantastic--super friendly and attentive. The whole vibe of the restaurant is so dope, with vinyl records everywhere, a disco ball, and even a traditional table where you sit on the floor. I could go on and on about this place. It's seriously one of the coolest spots, and the food is even better! read more

Today we tried out 'I Got My Sound Chicken', a new Korean fried chicken spot in Downey. It just opened, so you can tell they're still getting into the rhythm of things, but the staff was friendly, and the pricing was fair. We ordered a 9 piece traditional wings and were able to split it into three flavors, which was nice. The TNT had that Nashville hot-style heat, but the crunch on it was this was amazing! not just crispy, but like really crunchy in the best way possible. The Red Disco was that classic sweet chili flavor, they nailed the balance, sweet, a little spicy, and very flavorful. Probably my favorite. The Lemon Curry was the one that surprised us. Bright, a little tangy, and somehow just worked. We also got the anchovy fries, and I don't even know how to explain them. It's like the fries were fried in fish-flavored oil or something, and I know that sounds weird, but they were really good. Salty, crispy, and packed with that savory 'umami' flavor. Overall, the food was great, and once they settle in and smooth out the little kinks, this place is gonna be a solid spot. Definitely worth coming back to try more flavors. read more

Love this place!!! My husband and I love Korean fried chicken, so we gave it a try on Friday night. The chicken was pretty unique; it was hard to decide on a flavor. The owner/manager helped us order. She provided us with lots of flavor options and explained the menu in detail. She was passionate about her business.

The young lady at the counter asked if it was our first visit (it was!) and recommended the lemon pepper flavor--so we ordered two small poppin chicken. OH. MY. GOSH. The chicken was bursting with flavor, perfectly crunchy, not greasy at all, and the portions were very generous.
