    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We ordered their fried chicken for takeout. It was very good and the sauces were very complementary.

    Sumi's Cakery was located in the new Asian Food Hall. It's on the right as you first walk in the…read moredoor. 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!)
