This place has been around for awhile and comes highly recommended by locals. A friend and I went…read morehere on a Monday afternoon. The staff was cordial and friendly, and the chicken-themed decor, charming. Now it IS a chicken joint, the go-to chicken spot for my full carnivore friend. He loves them for their chicken, their inexpensive menu and their large portions. I'm mostly pescatarian, though I do sometimes cheat with bacon. (I always feel SO guilty afterwards too!) I ordered the honey mustard salad with bacon and no chicken. My friend ordered the chicken Mac n cheese and tater tots. The bill came up to $30, and the portions were good on on the salad, GREAT on the tater tots and decent on the chicken mac. I can't speak personally on the chicken but my friend says it's amazing. I tasted some of his Mac n cheese with no chicken, and it was really good and flavorful, nice and cheesy. I tasted his tater tots. They were plentiful, well-seasoned and fried to golden perfection, with a nice crunch. I ate all of my salad. My friend couldn't finish his chicken Mac or his tater tots and was happy to be able to take them to go for another meal. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place.

I have been here twice and it's been pretty run of the mill. I would say the chicken they use for…read morethe sandwiches...and probably the strips....and probably the salad, is actually really good. It was hot and thick and juicy when it came out. The fries were decent, but likely just some standard frozen fries. The ranch was also really good, but $.50 each small sized cup. My biggest gripe was the service and the state of the restaurant. In the booth we sat in there was an electrical outlet is hanging out of the wall and the booths are in need of cleaning. We had to use the bathroom, and the soap was out. The staff member brought a new one, but didn't know how to install it so it just sat on top of paper towels. Not a huge deal but bruh, figure it out. The guy was nice enough, but just sat and watched his phone when no one was at counter. There was also another guy, maybe from the kitchen (?) hanging out behind the counter sometimes as well. All while tables needed wiping, the bus tub was FULL with dishes, or either of them could have tried to get the soap installed. If there was no one at counter or food to cook it was stand around and stare at our phones. It's just sad Just a subpar experience for as much as food costs these days. Train the staff to stay busy and know how to bus tables and clean. And if you ever order the BLT chicken sandwich make sure to ask for no BBQ sauce. Yuk.

This place actually catered an event at my apartment building in Jack London, and the food was so…read moregood that my friends and I decided we had to visit the restaurant for lunch. I'm so glad we did! We ordered the Original, Spicy Original, Honey Garlic, Gangnam Style, potstickers, and the Rose Ddeok-bokki. The Honey Garlic wings were hands down my favorite--they were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and had just the right balance of sweet and savory. The Original and Spicy Original were also really good, and the Gangnam Style didn't disappoint either. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the Rose Ddeok-bokki. It just wasn't for me. The only downside is the price. An 8-piece order of wings is about $18.00 before tip, which is definitely on the expensive side. That said, the quality of the food makes it worth treating yourself every now and then. The restaurant itself is really cute, with a few outdoor tables and a small bar ledge inside if you want to dine in. The customer service has always been friendly whenever I've visited. Just keep in mind that the food is made fresh, so it usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Don't go in super hungry unless you're okay with waiting, or better yet, place your order ahead of time and take it to go. Overall, this is a great spot if you're craving delicious Korean fried chicken. I'll definitely be back, especially for those Honey Garlic wings!

The manager was pulled over too and they looked pretty bewildered, so this seems to be a one-off experience.

Parking is a bit rough as a result, but you can loop around and eventually a spot will open up.

You can order with the staff or using the kiosk. The menu has many options. You can order individual plate lunches, mini meals, and even family meals. We got two mini meals (chicken katsu, chicken teriyaki) which included small fountain drinks, a beef and chicken mix plate, and a beef rib with chicken mix plate. It took about 15 minutes before we got our order. Everything came in fast food containers, which was convenient cuz the portions were generous so we had leftovers. Overall, the BBQ meats were seasoned well and had good taste. None were overcooked and the beef tasted tender. The chicken katsu had good crunch. The macaroni salads were satisfying and the stirred fry cabbage that came with the plate lunches were generous portioned and had a nice wok hay to them. We appreciated the fountain drinks as we were able to get refills. All in all, I would said this is a good place for convenient fast food, and the prices were reasonable for the quantity and taste. The mini meals were of especially good value.

On weekends, there's also a BBQ spot next door that I was told is a must-try.

They put lots of mushrooms - to circumvent the smaller meat portions - and so - it's hard to justify $50 for this lack luster meal. I do love that they're on uber eats - that's very convenient but maybe my experience would've been enhanced in the restaurant? Did they rush to make my food? Unsure. All in all.
