The wife and I were having a craving for Korean Fried Chicken, and I heard about this place in…read moreWorcester that served it before the city finally got a Bonchon. Situated inside the Worcester Public Market, which is right at Kelley Sq, parking can be a little hectic. Of the several times I've parked in this area, I've managed to find street parking by driving up either Green St. or Harding St. The interior is a bar countertop that wraps around the central kitchen area and bar stools. No traditional seating if you're hoping for a traditional restaurant experience. The server was very friendly and the whole place had a great young, kinda rebellious vibe going on. We ordered two things and were quite disappointed with the quality of the food and the immense wait time. Da Wangs ; we came here precisely for Korean Fried Chicken which is especially known for being double-fried. The cook pulled them out of the heating drawer - already fried as expected - and dropped them in the fryer... and then proceeded to disappear for several minutes. Oh no. The plating of the dish looks delicious, but biting into it... the worst fried chicken we've ever had. The skin was so hard and crunchy and the burnt taste was unavoidable. The only redeemable flavor was the very paltry glaze of hot honey on the wings. Gnocch Bokki ; we love tteokbokki and this seemed like a really interesting take on it. we watched the chef fry up the aromatic ingredients and mushrooms for what seemed like forever. AND he disappeared multiple times. We don't appreciate waiting 40-50 minutes for food for no damn reason. The rice cakes had a delightful crisp to them, but the duck was utterly dry and unenjoyable despite the sous vide description. The sauce was unpleasantly cloying after the first few bites. I don't know what I'm suppose to take from the flavor profile, but IMO it just tasted like a plate of hoisin sauce. The bartender/waitress talked about how she had past career experience as a food safety (or health?) inspector and it was interesting to listen to... and shortly after that she grabbed a bite off of a large sauced-up plate near the burners... and then the chef proceeded to use that same plate to glaze our wings. We will not be returning.

This place doesn't have nearly enough raving reviews. I hope that changes…read more I love a subtle concept. Hip hop meets Korean fusion. Cheeky cocktail names. Original dishes. Everything executed *perfectly.* Started with the White Girl Woke. Perfect blend of flavors and not too sweet. Ordered Da Wangs. Word to the wise, they are massive. Delicious. Perfect Korean fried chicken crunch. Main was the Gnocch Bokki. The flavors were SO rich and decadent. I basically picked my plate clean. The food came with kimchi and white rice on the side. Overall fantastic meal. Service was good. Not overbearing. No fake friendliness. Efficient and helpful. The chef came out at one point as well. I complimented the fantastic food as well as the hip hop music piping in over the speakers. I'm currently trying to come up with an excuse to come back tomorrow.

Again, totally worth the drive.

In terms of ambiance, the restaurant is no-frills, clean, and has ample seating. Lastly, our server was attentive and kind. We would definitely go again!

I got the spicy ramen and my partner got the chicken non spicy one, please refer to pics as I forgot the name... highly recommend getting the chicken ramen, the broth is light and savory, additionally lots of protein and veggies to make it the perfect ramen bowl. The spicy ramen was okay, I love spice but this one was a bit starchy as if too much starch was used to thicken the broth. The noodles were also way too soft; and there's very little protein. I got beansprout as an add on and that was $2; a bit much if added onto the bowl.

Ambience and bar is great. As a self proclaimed oyster connoisseur the only thing I wish was the server asked me what type of oysters I wanted because the table next to us got different types than we did. Anyone who can appreciate delicious fresh seafood at a very fair price needs to come here to try

Had never heard of this place, now I wonder how it has good reviews…read more The oysters are just ok. The shucking job was not good and some oysters were just fragments. This happened after they gave our 12 oysters to the wrong table then took 18 more minutes to reshuch 12 oysters. I got a fish sandwich. There was just some crumbled pieces of fish on it. Meanwhile other tables got the fish and chips and it was over flowing with fish. I don't get it. Wife got the lobster roll, it was just ok, the roll was soggy so she just ate the lobster. The glasses of wine are insanely priced. My daughter got a ceasar salad that had mostly white romaine, the grilled chicken was bland and dry. The best thing they made was the tuna tar tar, ironically. Then to top off a not great 200.00 experience for 2 people, it took the waitress 15 more minutes to bother to come back and run the card. Maybe drinks and apps on the deck only. Very dissapointing. Lesson learned which I knew... don't get seafood so far from the coast.

The waitress was very busy with many tables, but hustled enough to keep everyone happy. The food was good, but nothing really stood out. I had the grilled romaine head of lettuce that had some Caesar dressing drizzled on it. Mostly I was eating plain romaine lettuce. I had the seafood fra diavolo, which was good with a generous amount of seafood, but the spicy sauce was just ok. I assume their regular red sauce with chili powder added. I have had better. I did love the gelato at the end. I would probably try the other restaurants in the area before I went back. If I could do 3.5 stars, I would have.

Although the food wasn't bad, there were errors that cannot be overlooked…read more Our reservation was for 8:30 on a Saturday. We were seated on time, which was nice. Our waiter was good. Unfortunately that's were the positives end. The restaurant in unbearably loud. They start you off with bread and unseasoned oil which is weird, no parmesean, chili flakes, oregano? Nothing, just olive oil. We started with calamari, which was mostly tenticles, I don't mind this, but my wife only likes the rings. My wife ordered the surf and turf, I ordered the FraDiavlo. The food came out in decent time. Which can be added to the good column. Upon delivery the first thing we noticed is that the chef cut the steak in half. This caused the juices to run out leaving it dry, the surf was 3 shrimp, which seemed like they are precooked and used for either cocktail or this dish as they were chewy. My guess is they are precooked, chilled and brushed with oil and herbs before broiling to warm them up. The FraDiavlo lacked any hint of chili pepper and I had to request chili flakes just to make it edible. It consisted of 2 scallops, 4 shrimp and 2 chick lobster pincher claws. In summary, under seasoned, over cooked food in a place where you can't hear yourself think. Plans on spending upwards of $200 if you want wine or dessert. We won't be returning as there are far better restaurants in the area.

Hien Vuong on Green St. closed and it left a void in my heart for great Pho…read more I didn't think this town had another comparable Pho restaurant. I have found it. Broth is delicious. Seafood Phoever was very good. It didn't have the hand made fish balls that Hien Vuong is known for but beggars can't be choosers. This is my new spot and I will be coming here often. You order and they deliver the food to you. Each table has a pull out drawer for napkins and utensils (it's quiet genius). Place is clean and has only been open just over a year. I hope they stay in business for a long time.

We went today and ordered Pho Ga (chicken) We noticed that…read morethe menu had changed as they usually had just Pho and a size of the bowl..this time no size.... just one size, so I am guessing that there could be new owners or new management?? We ordered hot tea, but the teak cam in water drinking glasses which were really hot to pick up (not so good!) While sitting there, we noticed this woman with black hair with bare feet as she had taken off her shoes in the restaurant. Not so appetizing!! Our soup finally arrived at the table and the smell was that of fish. Yuk. It was supposed to be chicken but chicken doesn't smell like FISH. I took a little taste and sure enough it tasted like FISH. We asked the waiter "is this supposed to taste like fish?" and he said " there is no fish in it". We advised that the soup tasted like fish and was not good. After that, we decided not to stay but also not to pay for the FISH soup that was supposed to be chicken and just pay for our drinks. We then paid for the drinks and left the place. Beware. if you go there, don't order ANY of their soups, it is really disgusting and could make you sick. If this is a new owner, maybe you need to take a cooking class??? And then maybe tell people to keep their shoes on in your restaurant!
