The chicken was great and the service was even better! They get the crispyness down well

I've never had Korean fried chicken before. And when our wonderful waiter brought over the water bottle and tiny styrofoam cups to pour our water into, I was skeptical. However, the food was delicious. We were a hungry duo, so we ordered a full chicken's worth of Fried Original and Yangyum. The Original was crispy and delicious. The Yangyum was sweet and scrumptious. It was so good that we followed it up with a half Honey Garlic chicken that was equally as good! Don't forget the fries or pickled radishes. Both are great palate enhancers and cleansers, respectively. I would totally recommend for any and all fried chicken lovers. No. 1 Plus Chicken is a winner. read more

so yummy!!! we got the half and half with yamyum and honey garlic and it was delicious! also the mixed fries basket was perfect to share with the four of us (: service was great and [[HIGHLIGHT]]such a casual, chill ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] will definitely be back! read more

Always love coming to No.1 Plus Chicken! The platter is a great way to try the different versions of Korean fried chicken and the mixed fries lets you try different sides. Highly rec the cheese corn as well. The owner is the best. She's super attentive and clearly cares so much about the restaurant. The service is top-tier and overall an excellent dining experience! read more

I loved coming to this location, truly enjoyed it. It has been some time since I've been back, but sadly it tastes like a corporate shop no soul,chicken was overly dry and spicy it was just not edible , We lost our taste buds! The Ramen ,I could have driven to Hmart and bought some Jin ramen and added a boiled egg. Our server he was young not a busy night, but he could have been at least a lil more attentive, at least I got a thumbs up once, as an acknowledgment after reminding him of my drink. I was happy, "yay no wait time" not like before 2 people roughly 45min to 1hr 1/2 wait. And now I understand the no wait time. read more

Recently moved to the Dallas area and I would have to say this has been one of my favorite meals. The space itself was on the smaller side, so there may be a little wait depending on the day/time. The staff were kind and excellent. They helped us decide on what to order. We tried the Double Onion Specialty Chicken and the Classic Half & Half. The chicken itself was so crispy on the outside, yet moist on the inside. The Yangyum flavor was my favorite - highly recommend. I saw many other tables get the wing platters, which we may try next time. I've never had Korean fried chicken before, but after this meal I definitely want to come back! read more

No.1 Plus Chicken - Double Onion Topping Specialty Chicken and Classic Half & Half - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Delicious food. Fast, friendly service. Dive-like ambiance. The rosé rice cakes/ttokbokki was the absolute favorite part of my meal, I will probably get this every time now that I've had it. My friend got the green onion chicken and I got to try the salad and I'll probably get that as a side salad from now on because it's that good. The honey mustard dressing it comes with is just perfect. Great soju options and I love the Chex mix they give as you wait for the food -- very reminiscent of "drinking snacks" I grew up watching the adults eat whenever they got together to drink. 4 stars because there was this really gross bug that crawled right next to our table that looked like a cross between a roach and a silver bug. We didn't bother telling the server because it scurried away and out of sight but it definitely was on my mind the entire rest of the meal. read more

Lunch for two - took 25 minutes to place our order, 15-20 minutes for food to be made & another 15 minutes just to get our bill. Would not recommend coming here if you want to get in and out in under two hours read more

Korean chicken has been a very big staple in the Dallas area with the rise of the Korean boom. But no one talks about the old Korea town. As such I am no stranger to Korean chicken. I have tried a great many Korean chickens and all have paled in comparison to this place and location. The saucy chicken requires a glove to be eaten with which they provide and the flavorful sauce tells a myriad or sensations that shows you exactly why they are called No 1. Don't even get me started on their Tteok-bokki which has left me unsatisfied with regular tteokboki because this place is so good. This place deserves a 10/5 stars read more

Response to owner: I appreciate the time you've taken to respond to my review, but let's not mince words. When I reported someone sneezing on my food, it was a real event I witnessed -- not a misperception. To suggest otherwise is to question my honesty and experience. A genuine acknowledgment of this error and a commitment to prevent future incidents would have been a more appropriate response. Furthermore, the offer to remake a meal is a standard recourse, but it does not address the immediate discomfort and dissatisfaction I felt, nor does it address the lapse in training your team supposedly has. Concerning the overcooked food, you said a lot but there was no mention in your response of how you plan to address quality control moving forward. Reheating or refrying food that a customer has handled raises significant food safety concerns, and your response explains why your team has a complete disregard for proper food handling standards. The phrase "it gets better every time" is inappropriate and of touch when a long-time customer reports a decline in their dining experience. This shows that there is a disconnect between customer feedback and your business's self-image. Going forward, you should treat customer feedback not as one-off incidents but as valuable insights for continual improvement in service and food quality. Unfortunately, following this recent experience and your response, I have decided to cease patronizing your establishment, which I have supported consistently since 2015. It seems you are confident in your business approach, even if it means losing long-standing customers. Original Review: They were super busy which is great, but I'm still a paying customer. A few things: The chicken and fries were super overcooked and inedible. I paid $18 for my food and am throwing it in the trash while still hungry. The guy managing orders SNEEZED on MY FOOD then handed it to me. I think it might've been the spices, but still that's nasty AH and who deserves to have their food sneezed on right in front of them. Gross. 3. I brushed off the sneeze, and felt the fries which were hard and overcooked. I thought maybe they got cold and the grease seized up so I said can y'all warm them up or something. Also thinking this might kill some of the sneeze germs. They took my SEASONED FRIES that I had my hands all over and threw them back in the fryer with the fries that already cooking. H-naw. They used to be good, I started coming back in 2015. Now, the food has declined and prices increased. It was fun while it lasted. I recommended this place to others who have reported that the food wasn't as good the last time they visited as well (within the last year). It was great while it lasted. read more

Had a great experience for our first time. The owner was quirky but nice. Started with some fried dumplings...deliciousness! We had their sampler platter (not its name, but can't remember the actual name). It was delicious. Our favorite was the garlic oil. The other two were also pretty solid. The joint is small and clean. We've been to several KFCs in Aurora CO, and this joint is similar. Can't wait to try them again. read more

I have to say...out of all the KFC places this has been the top by far. Before I thought Carrollton had good fried chicken but this was just next level. The plain chicken but it was so crispy and juicy. They also provided some plastic gloves to keep our hands clean which was also very nice. We also got cheese tteokbokki which was VERY cheesy (could be a pro or con but was a super pro for us). Price is a bit steep but worth every penny in my opinion. Next time I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors! read more

We ordered takeout, & we were really sad with our order. It was crispy on the outside, but really dry on the inside. We ordered spicy chicken, & it looked like they just dumped the sauce onto it.

B was our server and service was great! Manager came out and checked on us and was very personable. Food came out quick and hot and fresh and the wait was not long at all for a Friday night. I'm from CA so I'm picky with my korean fried chicken and this place hits close to home!! Not too much seating but it seems they get you in and out!! Recommend this place over soju dallas 101, will be back before my visit is over!! Ordered the corn cheese, fries, radish, and chicken platter which comes with the 4 most popular flavors. Would recommend for 2-3 people! read more

No.1 Plus Chicken - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is the only place in DFW that I can eat fried chicken outside of my house because of my food allergies. The batter is egg-free and dairy-free and made in its own fryer which is SUPER unusual. That aside, the chicken is fantastic: perfectly crispy and tender. The service is quick and the waitstaff are attentive. I hope they decide to build an additional location in Carrollton! read more

We came on a Wednesday night around 7:15. Wasn't busy and we were seated immediately. The owner was our server! She's so lovely. Took our order quickly. And the food came pretty fast! Here's our review of each dish: Fried dumplings: This was the first thing that came to the table. And wow! Extremely crispy and tasty. I loved the sauce that came with it. Sweet. maybe with a hint of tang. All of us really enjoyed it. Set us up to look forward to all the chicken to come. Platter: This contains 4 flavors - the original, yangyum, soy, garlic. Medium spice was our choice. Overall, the chicken is so delicious - flavorful inside and out. My favorite flavor was the yangyum! My husband liked soy the best. But there's something to be said about a solid classic original fried chicken. Truly fried to perfection. Green Onion Chicken Specialty: These are white meat nugs. This was my favorite dish! It came with a huge bed of greens on top with a honey mustardy dressing. They call it the house made green onion sauce. Yo. It's good. The green onion wasn't overpowering for those concerned. For GO lovers like me, I will always accept more! Cr@ck Chicken Specialty: $&@! How funnn. I love a good yellow cheese powder. When it came to the table I said it reminded me of Krafts mac n cheese powder (which I love. Don't hate plz). But it doesn't taste like Krafts. It has its own cheesiness. My husband didn't like this one as much... but I honestly enjoyed it. The powder was a nice texture. Great chicken, great service in the heart of Koreatown, Dallas. We'll be back. read more

I like bbq chicken much better. Chicken wasn't as crispy and some of the pieces were pretty dry. Not terrible but definitely not anything memorable read more

Absolutely amazing!! We got the sweet and spicy wings and the crack wings. Food and service was amazing, honestly the juiciest chicken wings I've had. Talked to our waiter a little bit and when she found out we were visiting for the first time she gave us a slice of cheesecake on the house! Absolutely will return next time we are in Dallas! read more

Stopped by to try out some authentic Korean chicken. I was not disappointed, it really took me back to my trip to the peninsula. The korean rice cake "tteokbokki" has really become a favorite of mine. I got my chicken at a medium/#2 but wished I would have went with spicy/#3. The flavor and breading was perfect. read more

Great Korean style fries chicken, large portions and friendly staff, what more could you ask for!

Very cute and small place is a hidden gem with a lot of great menu options. Everything was made to order so be prepared to wait. The combo options are a good deal, but if you order separate items it does get pricey. I ordered the Teriyaki wings (8 count) with fries, soda, and a beer. Wings were good, but I like mine extra crispy. The sauce was good though! I'd give it another chance, but this wasn't my favorite. Honestly I will say it was very busy and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. So don't let my review scare you away. I think I just didn't order the right things. read more

I really really cannot stress how great this place is. I forgot our waiter's name but he was super funny and pleasant. It was a perfect spot and it feels kind of hidden.

I hope they continue to thrive so I can selfishly order from here consistently. read more

No.1 Plus Chicken - Fried Chicken Platter with my favorite garlic sauce on the side- TO GO order - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Fried chicken. I mean it's fried chicken. Yum. The chicken was cooked quite well but the beauty of this chicken is the sauces the fried chicken is bathed in. There was a Yangyum (sweet and spicy), a soy glazed, and a sweet sautéed garlic (my personal favorite). Along with the chicken came cole slaw, a good addition. I also tried their kimchi fries which consisted of waffle fries covered with kimchi then smothered with cheese -- winner! I must say that it was an impressive place with and nice cozy atmosphere. The menu was simple yet intriguing, I wanted to order so many things. To make things worse, everything being brought out around me looked amazing, especially the sautéed spicy clam and mussels dIsh (I will return to conquer that dish). Yeah, I'm giving this place 5 stars which I normally do not do. Well deserved. Life is good!!! read more

Who doesn't like some KFC? And I'm not talking about The Colonel, I'm talking Korean Fried Chicken! With a wide variety of flavors to choose from, there is something for everyone. Maybe you wanted a refreshing pile of green onions burying your white meat chicken nuggets. Or if you like sweet and salty, try my personal favorite, the sweet sauteed garlic fried chicken. The standard soy glazed fried chicken is also quite nice. Don't forget the sides. I love corn and I love cheese, so it was natural that I would love the Corn+Cheese, served on a cast iron plate. Kim chi was a great palette cleanser in between bites to cut through the richness of the fried chicken. Their portions are generous and they open until 1-2am. Perfect for those drinking nights ;). read more

Any place that serves curly fries and kimchi is damn fine in my book! I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and while we typically check out K Town in Carrolton, I wanted to try K Town Lite one night. We stopped for dinner on a Friday night and surprised there wasn't a wait. This place is small so if you plan it right, you can get sat right away and not have to suffer through a wait like the people standing around when we left. Service was awesome, never got her name but she was peppy, fun and knowledgable. I should have took her look of surprise when we wanted to order a second meal after I ordered the green onion chicken. It was a mountain of green onions tossed in dressing atop a heap of fried chicken nuggets. It was easily enough to feed two people and delicious!! My husband got the fried chicken meal with kimchi and we loved the fermented radish that came with it and had an order of curly/regular fries on the side. There were leftovers for the next day and the food was still top notch. Add this to your fried chicken loving list! read more

My favorite korean fried chicken place in old Ktown - right in the Komart / Sura plaza. Would really recommend eating in instead of doing takeout. Fresh fried chicken is always a superior experience. They open late too, so you can grub late night and enjoy some soju. I love ordering the 3 flavor platter, it'll show you how good all of their flavors are even though the sweet garlic remains my personal favorite. Can't go wrong with yangyum wings either! The chicken is nicely battered and fried perfectly so it remains juicy/tender inside. There's also a handful of non chicken dishes if you want to add some variety to your meal as well. read more

Short and simple, this place is a must visit if you're in Irving's lil' Korea Town. I usually order the whole sweet sautéed garlic chicken (traditional bone-in) if it's just 2 of us, but with parties, I'd get the green onion chicken and some wings. The yangyum chicken is decent, just not as savory as I'd prefer from the garlic flavor. Even if you hate garlic (what are you, a vampire??), you should not skimp on that golden decision. I skip the sides altogether because if you're going to eat all of your grub you will NOT be needing any of that lol. Your arteries will thank you later. Of course, your meal is perfectly paired with some chumchurum soju to bring you to sweet food comatose salvation. read more

Finally found excellent food in the area! We have been search for a go-to food place as recent transplants to Irving. Based on Yelp reviews we visited the restaurant, and it did not disappoint.

Also got the Green Onion Chicken! The green onions might look intimidating but it pairs together so perfectly! Warning the restaurant is small, so I would not bring super big groups. And there is a slight smell to this restaurant. They did just open a bigger location in Garland to help house bigger groups! I would recommend going there too. No matter what! I recommend this place as one of the best korean fried chicken. read more
