    Tteokbokki&snack combo
    Tara K.

    The fried chicken is clearly the star of the show. The chicken was served fresh with a light, crispy batter that wasn't overly heavy or greasy. We especially appreciated that the chicken tenders came with the sauces on the side, allowing us to enjoy the crispiness before dipping each bite. We tried two sauces: the Korean Sweet Chili and the Soy Garlic (which isn't listed on the menu, so be sure to ask for it). Our favorite was the Korean Sweet Chili--it packed more flavor and had a nice balance of sweetness with a little kick. The Soy Garlic was still good, but it was a bit mild for our Korean taste buds. If you prefer a bolder garlic flavor, it may be worth asking if they can add extra garlic on the side. The tteokbokki was decent, though we would have liked the sauce to have a bit more heat. It seems they tone down the spice level to appeal to a wider audience. The combo also came with mandu (fried dumplings), gimmari (fried seaweed rolls), and calamari rings. Both the mandu and gimmari were filled with glass noodles, making for a satisfying assortment of sides. The service was excellent from start to finish. The staff took the time to explain the menu, different options, and sauce recommendations, and our food arrived surprisingly quickly. We also loved that they had the FIFA World Cup matches playing on a projector screen. If you're visiting Koreatown and craving Korean fried chicken, this spot is definitely worth checking out. The chicken alone is reason enough to come back.

    I ordered from K Chicken over the holiday because the Yelp reviews looked promising and the restaurant is close to my house. Since they recently opened, I was genuinely excited to try a new local place and support a new business. We ordered a pretty full meal to experience several menu items instead of judging from one thing only. Our order included one whole chicken split half Original Fried and half Galbi Sauce, Nashville Hot wings, corn salad, coleslaw, and chili cheese fries. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from beginning to end. The biggest issue was the chicken itself. Starting with the Original Fried Chicken -- visually it looked crispy and golden when opening the box. At first glance it looked like exactly what good Korean fried chicken should be. But once we started eating, the reality was completely different. The chicken was dry throughout every piece. This was not an issue with only one section or one type of meat. Every piece we tried felt dry and lacked moisture. There was almost no juiciness inside and the texture felt overcooked. What surprised me most was how little seasoning there was inside the chicken. It tasted like the chicken had not been brined enough before frying. The inside of the meat had almost no flavor. Instead of tasting seasoned chicken, it mostly tasted like plain chicken covered with fried coating. Another major issue was the oil. The chicken seemed like it had not been drained properly after frying. There was too much oil left on the surface and inside the coating. Instead of feeling crisp and clean, each bite felt heavy and greasy. Good fried chicken should feel crunchy but light enough that you want another piece. This felt like oil stayed trapped in the coating. After several bites the greasiness became overwhelming. The Galbi Sauce Chicken had similar problems. The sauce looked glossy and rich from the outside so expectations went up. But after eating it, most of the flavor stayed only on the skin. The chicken underneath tasted almost exactly the same as the original version. The sauce did not seem to penetrate into the chicken. Every piece had the same pattern: strong flavor outside, almost no flavor inside. The coating also felt thick. Combined with the dryness of the chicken and excess oil, the entire experience became very heavy. Galbi chicken should usually feel balanced with sweet and savory flavor throughout the whole bite. This felt more like plain fried chicken with sauce brushed only onto the surface. The Nashville Hot Wings were another disappointment. I expected deeper spicy flavor and a richer Nashville-style profile. Instead, the seasoning reminded me of powder sprinkled on top. Personally it tasted similar to Shin Ramyun seasoning powder. Not because of spice level but because of that dry powdered seasoning feeling. The flavor sat separately from the chicken instead of becoming part of it. There was heat, but not much depth. It felt artificial rather than flavorful. The Chili Cheese Fries also needed improvement. The fries had already absorbed too much oil and became soggy. There was almost no crisp texture left. Another issue was the topping distribution. Most of the chili and cheese were concentrated heavily on one side. Some fries had too much topping while others had almost nothing. The balance was inconsistent from bite to bite. It gave the impression that the dish had been assembled quickly without attention to detail. The Corn Salad and Coleslaw were okay. Nothing bad, but also nothing memorable. They added freshness but could not compensate for the quality of the main items. Overall the same problems repeated throughout the meal: Too much oil. Chicken that was dry across all pieces. Very little seasoning inside. Sauce sitting mostly on the outside. Heavy texture. The presentation looked much better than the actual eating experience. I understand new restaurants are still improving and adjusting after opening. I usually do not leave negative reviews because I know opening periods can be difficult. But fundamentals matter. Seasoning. Oil control. Texture. Consistency. Those things define fried chicken. I really wanted to enjoy this because it is nearby and convenient. That made the disappointment even bigger. I hope they improve the brining process, reduce excess oil after frying, balance the sauce application, and focus more on consistency. Unfortunately based on this experience, I do not think I would order again. I tried multiple items specifically to give the restaurant a fair chance. But nothing stood out enough to make me want to come back. I expected crispy, juicy, flavorful chicken. Instead, I experienced dry chicken, excessive oil, seasoning that stayed mostly outside, powdery wing seasoning, and soggy fries. Maybe this was an off day. But as a first experience, it did not match the reviews or expectations.

    Been here twice already and never disappointed. Crispy and flavorful fried chicken. Spicy rice cake was tasty and not too sweet. Took a little time but definitely worth the wait.

    Whole Fried Chicken
    Mike H.

    I ordered the Korean-style whole fried chicken. The batter is extremely crispy -- it practically falls apart just from touching it. It seems like they focused too much on making it crunchy, because the chicken ends up overly greasy, while the meat itself is dry and lacking juiciness. Maybe they added a slight sour note to cut through the richness, but aftertaste is actually quite unpleasant of the end. The inside lacks the moist, clean, and savory flavor that good traditional whole chicken should have. It's crispy only on the outside. Maybe other menu is better, but I haven't tried yet.

    I just wanted to take a moment to highlight this establishment ! Yesterday, my boyfriend and I decided to go to the Korea vs Mexico watch party in Seoul int park but it was super overcrowded and overwhelming for me. We decided to leave and start making our way to a restaurant or a bar with the expectation of it being very crowded. We stumbled on a TikTok video of this establishment and we decided to give it a try. We enter and they let us know it was a take out only option since seating had to be reserved. We understood and had the expectation to just take out and make our way back home to eat. The owner of this establishment was super kind he told us to sit down since wait times would take long (which was understandable!) We had a great time at your restaurant as being the only Mexico fans ! We enjoyed your hospitality and appreciation for giving us food for the wait time. Thank you so much for the great time, hospitality and great food! We will definitely be coming back and with my family! Hope your business keeps flourishing hermanos

    Let me start with the person who helped us. She was kind, helpful, and patient when it came to us ordering. She provided suggestions as well, which was helpful. The food was amazing .. the chicken was juicy, flavor and above all crispy. I mean crispy like pioneer chicken. If you know.. you know. Hands down one of my new favorite chicken spot. The ambiance was nice as well. Calm place to do work as you munch on your chicken and sides! Recommend this spot for sure.

I ordered the chicken strips with fries, while my partner ordered a two-piece chicken dinner with macaroni salad and spicy rice. Although we had to wait a little while for the food, it arrived hot. We both agreed that it was some of the best fast-food fried chicken we had ever eaten. The chicken was moist and the batter was crispy. My fries were good, and my partner's macaroni salad and spicy rice were both flavorful. We especially loved the biscuit. I also couldn't help noticing that although the dining room feels like something of a relic, it is very well maintained. There were no dirty tables and no trash on the floor. I was genuinely shocked when the cashier came out to ask how everything was and whether we needed anything else. Most fast-food chains seem determined to eliminate as much human interaction as possible. Pioneer Chicken was a refreshing reminder that fast food can still be friendly, clean and satisfying. Pioneer Chicken is a winner in my book!

The chicken was also greasy, but not as greasy as the fish. Would I order again? No. Not because it wasn't good, but because there are much better chicken joints that are not greasy.

Service: Jaden was our server and he was attentive with checking in on us. We had ordered a steak, but did not receive a steak knife. We tried to get by with the butter knife at the table, but obviously it did not pan out well. Our server was occupied with another table, so I was patiently waiting to make eye contact. Miraculously another server saw my desperate eyes and before I could even raise my hand or say "excuse me" to flag her down, she came right over with a SMILE no less (!!!) and asked how she could help. That level of attentiveness was very much appreciated. Even the tall white guy came to clear our plates. I don't know what he does, because at the end of the meal, we saw him hauling in and hand-carrying 5 bags of ice. The level of hustle across the team is obvious and helps round out the experience of dining out and choosing to spend money on a dining experience. Even the bus boys were attentive with filling our water cups, which was quite appreciated. Can't say any more good things about the service and truly appreciated our server Jaden because he seemed so personable to have a genuine conversation while running around. Really seems like a hard worker. Ambiance: kudos to whoever set the playlist for Friday night -- Kaytranada songs came up a couple times and really helped to set the mood to kick off my weekend.
