This is easily the best fried chicken I've ever had! The skin was perfectly crispy and seasoned to absolute perfection--you can see the spices right under the crust. The meat inside was incredibly juicy, tender, and cooked just right, so it never felt overwhelmingly greasy. read more

There are so many fried chicken places in LA, so it takes a lot for one to really stand out. The reason I wanted to write a review is because this chicken was honestly one of the best I've had. It was incredibly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender on the inside. The chicken was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. One tip: the seasoned (yangnyeom) chicken is a must-try, it was absolutely delicious. They also have a wings-only option, but I personally found that a little drier than the regular pieces. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're craving amazing Korean fried chicken! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I heard good thing but when I ordered it came soggy. Was not crispy at all. For that reason idk if I'd order again.

This place is really good! The chicken was juicy, crispy, and cooked perfectly. The lemon pepper flavor was especially on point with just the right amount of seasoning. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other flavors. Highly recommend if you're looking for great chicken! read more

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 read more

Just left this restaurant... if you're Latino or non- Asian your best bet is to order to go. We felt unwelcome and rushed while dining in. They advised as closed at 2 am and rushed us out the door by 11:20 pm. Overall do not expect the minimal amount of hospitality here. read more

Good food and very nice place, service was fast and the crew were cool. The ambiance is also quite good!

Food is absolutely perfect ! Really enjoyed the wings and the Korean fried snacks are my favorite! Prices are very affordable considering other Korean restaurants in town. Will 100% be back soon read more

Me, my wife and my son went to eat there. Both times we eat there, the chicken hits the spot. The 3 piece chicken tenders with the coleslaw, fries and the tastiest soft bread (like a long salt bread) is so bomb. Chicken tenders so tender and juicy and the red honey chicken wings are so good too. They also have every single flavor of the chicken wings as sauces on the side for $2 each so you can get original on the tenders and buy some sauce on the side. Friendliest workers and owners, they are so nice to my son and to us as well. They also had the World Cup playing on a projector which is a nice touch for sports watchers. Overall I highly recommend this place. They also have steam rice on the side. I wish I had pictures but the chicken looks so good. 10/10 read more

This establishment provides some of the poorest customer service I have ever experienced. My party was seeking a late-night dining option and selected this restaurant specifically because their outdoor signage indicated they remain open until 2:00 AM.Unfortunately, the majority of the menu items were unavailable, forcing us to compromise on our order. The server then omitted several items from our request, requiring a re-order that significantly delayed our meal.Although our food was finally served around 11:30PM, the server presented the bill at exactly 12:00 AM, claiming the restaurant was closing. When staff asked us to leave at 12:15 AM, I questioned the discrepancy between their actions and the advertised 2:00 AM closing time. The server merely replied, "I should have told you," and walked away.Before I could finish my meal, the server returned to pressure us to leave again. I requested a refund for the unfinished food since we were effectively being forced out. In response, the server called the manager over; the two then conversed in Korean and laughed. When I asked the manager what was amusing, she refused to address me in English and instead dismissed the interaction.This was an entirely unprofessional and hostile experience. To make matters worse, the restroom facilities were unacceptably unhygienic. I strongly advise against dining here. read more
