Waited almost 20 minutes for my plate and chicken was not cooked through. I took it back to the…read morecounter and asked her to cook it a bit longer, and I was pointed to a sign that said something about "pinking in poultry" and assured that it was fine to eat, but based on the look of the chicken I was not comfortable eating it at all. I uploaded this picture into chat gpt with the business explanation of the pinking in poultry and according to AI, "Pinking" can happen in cooked poultry -- but what you're showing in the photo does not look like harmless pinking. Here's the difference in plain language: Harmless "pinking" (still fully cooked) * Happens from smoking, high heat, or certain proteins. * The meat is fully opaque, firm, and cooked through. * Only the outer edge or near the bone looks pinkish. What your picture shows * The meat looks translucent, soft, and raw, especially near the joint. * There are dark, bloodlike areas around the bone. * The texture looks undercooked, not just color-changed from chemical reactions. Even with pinking, cooked chicken never looks glossy or raw in the center the way yours does. I decided not to go back to the counter because there was a language barrier and I felt the woman wasn't listening to me in the first place anyway. Threw pretty much all the food away and left hungry and down $20.

It's a very satisfying meal and definitely a cheat meal for me - I don't eat it often. Service is always efficient whether you order over the phone or in-person. I really enjoy the chicken here it's always crispy on the outside and tender when you bite into it. They get a lot of orders for people just picking up so it's great to see this location stay busy. Interior is very clean and bright with KPOP or K-Dramas playing on the TVs. If you're waiting for your food I recommend just chilling and watching what's on the tv - at least that's what I do LOL!

Not Recommended for Kids! This was our first time dining…read morehere with our four children (ages 3-10), and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. Because my kids can't handle spicy food, I asked for one dish to be made non-spicy so they could try it first. They loved it, so I ordered a second serving of the exact same dish for them. When the second order arrived, I could clearly see red chili flakes throughout the dish. As soon as my kids started eating, they complained that it was too spicy and couldn't finish it. I politely asked if the kitchen could remake the dish with no spice, explaining that it was for young children. Instead of trying to help, I was told the dish was made the same way as the first one and that it was the best they could do. There was no effort to find a solution or accommodate such a simple request. We ended up spending over $100 on a meal that our kids couldn't eat, and the lack of customer service made the experience even more disappointing. Sadly, we won't be returning and can't recommend this restaurant to families with young children. This version flows more naturally while emphasizing the inconsistency between the first and second dishes.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and air conditioned, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your meal. The staff is efficient and gets the job done, although they come across a little like young efficient robots--polite enough, but not much personality or warmth. My only real issue is the price. It is hard for me to justify spending $17+ for a plate with just a few pieces of boneless chicken and some sides. If the prices were a little more reasonable, or the portions included a bit more chicken, I could justify a 5-star rating. For now, it is a solid 4 stars based on the cost-to-value ratio. The food is good enough that I would still come back once in a while.

Open for 3-4 years, it is one of those hole-in-the-wall places that locals who live and work in the neighborhood are cognizant of as a hidden gem. I am not the biggest fan of chicken...give me duck, anyday. But a good chicken sandwich is a meal that I can appreciate. Looking at the menu on the picture window...I had to wonder is Uncle: Korean...African-American...Deep South gentleman? Well, I think he's Taiwanese. Menu revolves around chicken. They have plates, sandwiches, and slushies. I got the Taro Hokkaido Slushie for takeout. It was okay...I can't tell you what it tastes like...other than that it was sweet. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was unassuming. It was slightly spiced...a bit different than I am used to and it had a bit of a kick. I would not order anything spicy from their menu. Piece of battered chicken breast that was both juicy and flavorful. A real surprise. Service was just under 15 minutes...I walked in and ordered takeout. There was one order ahead of me. Dining area is bigger than you would think, but there are only four tables inside...it is mostly a takeaway place. Parking stalls are for Uncle's and the plaza. Stalls at Upscale, as well. Hours are from 1030a till 930p...except on Fridays and Saturdays, when they close at 1000p.

Also, they were never given any water or any other kind of typical restaurant hospitality. Something every other table received. This place is a dump. Stay far away.

It took me over an hour chatting with different Uber Eats customer service, escalating the issue, and I finally received the refund days later because I refused to let it go. The food itself was just okay, but my husband was a fan. I didn't think the fried chicken was anything remarkable. If you want decent Korean fried chicken, go the little spot inside Paloma food court.

I ordered the K-Crispy Chicken "Whole Pieces" and really got ripped off…read more Out of the 10 Piece box, only 3 pieces, 1 leg, 2 wings were complete pieces. They actually cut in half 5 pieces of the Chicken Backs and each 1/2 counted as a piece of overcooked chicken jerky! I also got a 1/3 of a breast section with bones and not even a 1/2 of a thigh. That totals my 10 pieces. More bones and excess crispy flour then consumable meat. NOBODY gives a Chicken back (or 1/2 a back)! Not Popeyes, not KFC or Zippy's who will remain my Favorite because I will only get ripped off the 1st time, never again. Additionally, they make you buy the sauce, the reason is due to no seasoning on the over floured bread...but it IS Crispy! The Chicken tenders were overcooked and REALLY Chewy around the edges. Just a LOT of breaded Crispy with no flavor, what "Chef" doesn't even use salt? Really, if you're going to risk testing this food, PAY for some sauce! I hope the Owner reads this and realizes that ripping people off by selling broken pieces that most Chef's throw away because they have so little meat on them, isn't going to keep him in business. The profit margin may be up while folks are trying it, spending their hard earn $$$'s, yet not coming back will be the ultimate demise of this business as many other have come and gone doing the exact same thing, not putting themselves in he patron's position. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a bowl of whole chicken pieces and immediately grabbed one that was back bone chopped in half?
