My son and I stopped here on a Friday for dinner. It's located in the same spot where there used to be a Korean bbq restaurant- looks like they moved but glad the replacement is also good! Easy parking right out front lot, they seemed to be pretty busy for a newer restaurant & were pretty efficient in orders. Nice chill atmosphere and staff. Very flavorful & good portions. The kimchi rice IMO was enough for 2 meals, loved leftovers though. I would say the chicken seems a lot better quality than restaurants that could be comparable, and I appreciate no excessive breading than necessary, mostly juicy white meat.

Krunchy Bird is a local restaurant that serves Korean fried chicken--boneless, bone-in, wings, chicken bowls, and chicken sandwiches--as well as rices, noodles, spring rolls, beef dumplings, etcetera. My husband and I ate here one time. I felt surprised that the employees were white rather than Korean, but they kindly made recommendations and promptly took my order. The dining room had tables and a counter. I saw several Korean customers, and I wondered what they thought of the foods. I have eaten authentic foods in South Korea but am not an expert. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Fried Chicken Sandwich - 4 stars - This sandwich was a large size. The fried chicken was meaty and was covered in a thick, crunchy breading. It was topped with spicy gochujang mayo, Korean chili pickles, slaw, and my choice of sauce. The bottom bun was soggy. Seoul Krunch Bowl - 4 stars - This bowl contained crispy boneless chicken, white rice, peppers, onions, kimchi, slaw, edamame, and sesame seeds. The chunks of chicken were meaty. The total price for these two foods plus two sodas was $35 plus a tip.

Fast service and casual ambiance and yummy food. Their chicken and sauces are amazing. My husband tried their sandwich and was very satisfied. We all lived the crispiness of the chicken and the sauces were so flavorful and enhanced the taste of the chicken. Only complaint is their street noodles. Not my cup of tea. Their floor is unusually slippery so make sure you keep an eye out for your little ones not to fall. I highly recommend this place and will be picking chicken from this gem more often!

Visited this place over the weekend for their soft launch and the food was delicious. We got the Seoul Krunch Bowl. This was good but would have been nice to have extra veggies or just a better appearance. We also got the Fried Chicken Sandwich with Honey Garlic Sauce and this was 10/10. They make everything fresh per order and I feel like are still getting the hang of things, so we waited around 25-30 minutes for our food. They gave us spring rolls for free while we were waiting which was nice and they were delicious as well. I will definitely be back!

Great crispy chicken & kimchi rice with friendly service. Didn't take too long to receive my order while being busy. No complaints here

Great service. The food was fast and hot not to mention such depth of flavor! The restaurant does have indoor dining and can do takeout. Crunchiest, most flavorful chicken in Pittsburgh.

Small Boneless and Wings Kimchi Rice

I got the boneless chicken and it's the best chicken I've had in a while. Also the kimchi rice is very good too.

The krunchy bowl is gas hot honey best flav or Lemmon pep I recently tried Krunchy Bird, and it was a solid experience. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with good seasoning that wasn't too overpowering. The fries were hot and crunchy, and the portions were generous for the price. The service was friendly, and the food came out quickly.

Stopped by this new casual Korean chicken restaurant. When we ordered at the counter we were told it is made to order so about 20 minutes. The chicken sandwich was definitely krunchy. The sandwich comes with slaw and gochujang mayo. There are 5 sauces from very mild to hot. So had the sweet heat that was OK but would prefer more heat and spicy flavor, next time. The bun held up well with the chicken and slaw. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu.

Delicious food and superb service. We sampled everything and were not disappointed. We especially liked the street noodles (excellent), and the boneless chicken was crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, and tasty all over.

FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH

This place has potential. Breakdown: - The bun was much larger than the chicken. As you can see in the photo.. When cut down the middle, only half of the bread had chicken in-between. Either size the chicken up or the buns down. - There was barely any slaw on the it. They do have extra slaw for an upcharge but with the amount I got, might as well hit that extra button 3x. A scoop over a pinch would be great and maybe more/thicker sauce to keep the slaw from just slipping out. - ADD PICKLES! Every fried chicken sandwich should have pickles on it. Maybe get creative and make Korean style house pickles with peppers or onions. Overall, it was a pretty good sandwich once I ripped off the excess bun and gathered my slaw. However, for the price and the quality, probably won't be back. But hopefully they improve with time because it has potential to be great.

We also tried the Korean BBQ, which was both fun and delicious to cook right at the table. The bulgogi dolsot was my personal favorite--it stayed hot in the stone bowl the entire time and was delicious! One nice bonus: if you pay with cash, your bill ends up being a few dollars cheaper. We were there celebrating a birthday, and the staff made it extra special by writing "Happy Birthday" on our appetizer plate, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was delicious. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

We had an incredible experience at Green Pepper. Truly such an underrated spots with some amazing…read morefood. We started with the Korean fried chicken and green scallion pancakes. The fried chicken was so crisp and the sauce on top, I would go back just for those! The beef bulgogi was still sizzling when we got it. So rich and full of flavors!! We tried the bibimbap with chicken and this was good, but if I were to go back I would skip this and get something else. My absolute favorite was the RA-POKEE. This has so many flavors and was filled with seafood, rice cakes and ramen. Such a generous portion for the price. We left satisfied and full as possible with so many leftovers. The staff is kind and attentive and care about if you enjoy the food or not. There is also a variety of different drinks and lots of open seating. There's two side of the restaurant and lots of tables. Highly recommend this spot!

The food comes out relatively quickly and the service is very good. I've come here a couple of times. My favorites are the steak short ribs (Galbi), bulgogi, and the Korean fried chicken (you can split the flavors half and half). My friends and I wanted to try something new and so we got the pork ribs (they were ehh); also, the chicken dinner dish was also very average. There was only one mishap once where the fried chicken we got was cold. However, once the waitress knew about this she got us a new dish which was very kind. This place can hold a lot of people and has a lot seating!

My friends and I checked out the bakery before walking around the market and came back just before leaving to place our order. I ordered the Honey Garlic Bread. The combo sounded strange to me, but it looked so good I had to try it. And boy, am I glad I did! The stuffing tasted like creamcheese, but I'm not positive that's what it was lol. The combination of honey and garlic was very good! And the bread was soft and fluffy. I highly suggest you stop by and try a treat!

PSA this place has bingsu!!! I feel like most people don't know this and only know about the bakery…read morepart of Sumi's. There are pretty few bingsu spots in Pittsburgh, and this one is so good and the prices aren't too steep! It's a perfect summer treat. We got matcha, which comes topped with cornflakes and has mochi inside, as well as sesame red bean, which has sesame/injeolmi powder & condensed milk on top and mochi inside. Both were incredibly tasty and not too heavy or sweet. The seating inside is pretty limited and not the cutest since it is primarily a bakery, which is probably the only complaint I have. It can feel a bit rushed if there are people waiting for your table. Would recommend if you're looking for a light refreshing treat in Squirrel Hill! (Also their bakery items and cakes are wonderful as well -- I've had the matcha cake from them multiple times and it's the perfect level of sweetness. Such a light and delicious cake highly recommend for birthdays!)
