The wings were very good! I played it safe with the sweet and spicy and galbi sauce. The cook on them was just right and the flavor was great! Next time I will step up the spice for sure! read more

Small eating area, 4 tables and 2 high top tables. Clean and comfortable. Busy with a lot of takeout orders. The fries were served hot, crisp and salty the way they should be. We ordered 12 wings sweet and extra spicy. First 12 is a lot as the wings are quite large. Second they are well covered with sauce and extra spicy is very spicy. The wings came out hot and crisp. They were excellently cooked and very flavorful. I thought they were also very sweet along with the heat. If you like very spicy they are for you. We did enjoy them, but I could only eat two! We brought them home and I hope they heat up well. I will definitely go back and try the others and I do recommend trying this place out. We didn't try the bowls, they did look really good. read more

I love Korean Fried Chicken and I was thrilled to find this restaurant recently during a trip. I decided to stop in for lunch and it was quite a pleasant meal. From the outside, the restaurant is unassuming. Even with the GPS on I almost missed it. Walking in, I was greeted by the friendly staff and quickly ordered an 8 piece wing with the sweet and spicy sauce. The wings came out about 10-15 minutes later and tasted quite well. They retained their crunch, the sauce was perfect and the chicken was hot but perfectly cooked inside, not dry at all. I ended up only eating 4 wings and took the other 4 home to have as leftovers later. The wings were definitely a nice size which I was happy with. Overall, it was a good experience. Ive had slightly better korean fried chicken but definitely a nice stop for lunch. read more

Easy online ordering process and a self explanatory menu. I ordered pick up/take out. The time estimate for fried chicken is probably too optimistic- the actual pick up time took 15 minutes longer than the estimated time, so I was waiting for a while in the restaurant. There's a decent quantity of food. The boneless chicken consisted of a lot of small pieces of fried chicken-- maybe a wings/bone-in chicken would be juicier. The fries were good. The pickled radish was good too. Overall, great for satisfying a craving. read more

Swan's Korean Fried Chicken - Sweet and spicy fried chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Burlington, Washington

We found this place while browsing Google Maps and were honestly surprised to see a Korean fried chicken spot in the area. We ordered the boneless chicken with soy garlic and cheese flavors, along with butter garlic fries on the side. The chicken was freshly made and nicely crispy, with the soy garlic being the clear favorite--flavorful without feeling too heavy. The cheese flavor leaned much richer, mostly coated in cheese powder, which made it a bit overwhelming after a while. The butter garlic fries were decent, though the garlic flavor didn't fully blend into the fries as well as we hoped. Service was genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout. While it's not the most authentic Korean fried chicken we've had, it definitely satisfies the craving locally, and we'd come back for the soy garlic chicken instead of driving all the way to Seattle. read more

Swan's Korean Fried Chicken - 8 piece bone in wings with fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Burlington, Washington

Best KFC (Korean fried chicken) ever. Don't be suspicious of the close to perfect 5.0 rating, they are surely worth all of those accolades. This is a weekly tradition and we don't survive long without our sweet and extra spicy 12 piece wings (bone-in, ofc), and two beers (labeled as chi-mac for two) with their complimentary side dish of radish! We always order two plates of their rice cakes with sausage as an appetizer as well! Service is always welcoming and friendly, and quite quick! You first order at the counter and take a seat. They tend to get busy, but they never have made me wait long for my food! !!If you are on the fence or have had this on your list of places, this is your sign to try it now! (You won't regret it)!! read more

Juicy. Fried chicken was juicy and every bite was not dry anywhere. Plenty of good sauce all over each piece. 5 piece fried chicken comes with one sauce only. If you get 8 pieces you can pick 2 sauces which I say is a better idea so you have variety and get to try more. Came with choice of rice or cabbage slaw I liked the sweet and spicy option read more

Soooo good. Best Korean fried chicken in town! You can tell everything is made fresh. From the coleslaw to even the picked radish. If we had the stomach to try every sauce, we would!

Wings are So. Damn. Good. Wow. Fresh. Hot. Crispy. Great breading. Sauces are delish: sweet & extra spicy, Galbi. Pickled radish was a good sweet, cool, acidic balance to the wings. Ambiance is mediocre. But they've got several beers on tap. And ice cream sandwiches! Service was great. I will be eating here again! read more

Stopped here because it sounded good, was so good drove 45min next day to have it for lunch

I reviewed this place before, but was in tonight and they've expanded their menu again! So much good food and fresh. The people are so friendly and the service for take-out is so fast. The prices are fair - especially compared to what the chain chicken places charge these days. There were a lot of people there tonight and I was glad to see it. They deserve to be successful and I'm so happy for them. read more

I love this place! Everything on the menu is delicious and consistent however, I feel like you are missing the bulk of your business by not being open on Sundays. Sundays are for football and football means wings!!! read more

What a wonderful surprise to have a Korean fried chicken restaurant in Burlington. Swan's is the real deal and I've had quite a bit of KFC in many different large cities, including Seattle and Los Angeles. The original is great crispy fried chicken, the sweet and spicy is a classic KFC flavor, the soy garlic is very flavorful, the cheddar cheese is a powder mix but tastes really good, and the galbi is more like a savory soy sauce. I've had both the boneless and the tradition bone in and both are excellent. The tteokbokki is spicy, maybe a bit too spicy, and I would prefer to have a creamy non-spice version but the chewy rice cakes are good. The corn cheese is a great version of cheesy corn and there's so much more cheese that it really should be called cheesy corn. Lastly, the french fries are really outstanding, fried to perfection and really hit the spot. read more

A gem in the middle of Burlington. Was not expecting something those good so far north of Seattle. We tried a variety of wings and sides here and it was all good. The boneless wings are more like nuggets as opposed to strips but still good and you can have more than one sauce. Good for kids. I liked the plain wings which came with honey mustard and salt and pepper. Very crispy and meaty wings. My wife got small wings with Soy Garlic sauce. Also good. All the sides we got were great. Rice, fries, corn cheese and Rose Tteokbboki was a standout dish. The sauce was so good, we used it on everything else. Inside is very clean but only around 4 or 5 tables. Most people coming here were getting to go though so there should be room. Staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. read more

Why haven't you been here yet? Give these people a chance, you will find a new favorite. It's small and seemingly unremarkable from the outside, but the inside is bright and comfortable and it's clear that they take great pride in the quality of their ingredients and perfecting their dishes. I'll be back again soon, and you should be too! Lots of online orders/takeout went out while we were there. read more

So happy to have found a great Korean Fried Chicken in the area. We always order for pick up and they're always on time. Everything we ordered was good but my favorite is the soy garlic and galbi sauce, love it!!! Sweet Chilli was good but it's just ok for me, my husband loved it. read more

The food was fantastic! Service great, prices right. Highly recommended! Nice variety of options, loved the kimchi.

FAN-F*CKING-TASTIC! I promise, if you eat here you'll feel like its the first time you've eaten in years. It puts every other takeout to shame. Hats off to the chef! All we could do after our meal was exchange expletives, it Was. THAT. GOOD. Wish we had one in Bellingham! P.S. I never leave reviews for anything, created an account just so I could hit em with the 5 stars! read more

Fried wings stellar, but restaurant has no heat right, now, January, in freezing weather. If you eat in, dress accordingly.

I am Korean and the fried chicken wings are really good! Perfectly fried and crunchy, chicken is moist. Haven't tried all the sauces but so far my favorite is definitely the soy garlic, very good. The tteokbokki is also great, soft and chewy tteoks and very spicy sauce. They give pickled radish on the side which is good to balance out the flavor of the wings, cool and refreshing. I have also tried the corn cheese and it is good as well. The only negative comment I have is that the napkins are not great, especially because when eating fried chicken you have to wipe your hands and mouth a lot. The napkins fall apart very easily and get stuck on my hands and mouth. Of course that's a very small thing, the food is always great! Definitely come here if you are in Burlington! read more

Duuuude! It's so good!!! The hubs got the Korean fried chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce and only the 5 pieces but they were giant! Like what are y'all feeding those chickens!?! But we also got the cheesy corn and the tteokbokki with the ramyun and it was delicious!!! The rice bowl wasn't our favorite but it was like a decent lunch thing. The lady behind the cash register was super kind and offered suggestion for what we had questions about. The ambiance left much to be desired but seriously, when the food is that good... who cares!?! So long as it's clean... which is was super clean and tidy! read more

A local gem! Large, juicy, flavorful wings that are crisssspy but not oily. How do they do it? I'm looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area! Our group of 6 ordered several dishes to share and all were great. Our favorites were: Bone-in original - this came with a side of honey mustard to dip, but the seasoning on the wings/breading is on-point and can hold its own. Bone-in sweet and spicy - not too spicy, just a subtle kick for balance. Bone-in soy garlic - sticky, sweet, garlic-y..I even dipped an original wing in the leftover sauce. Fried tteokbokki - slightly crispy, chewy, sweet, spicy..all the best things combined. Fries - These came in the soy garlic combo we ordered and they were McDonald's-esque but better?!?! Crispy but light and fluffy on the inside. Loved that these came with a side of pickled radish as well, a refreshing compliment to the wings. As I mentioned earlier, the wings aren't sad little flats/drumsticks like I've seen elsewhere; these are big and meaty. And the crunch...it was so crispy and surprisingly not greasy somehow. The servers were friendly, and the restaurant was pristine. They have a dedicated parking lot, and there's plenty of extra parking on the side street as well. So happy we tried Swan's KFC. Highly recommend! read more

We live in Mukilteo and I will say this chicken was worth the drive. I came during their first day soft opening and the place was already full of customers excited to try out Swan's KFC! The staff were welcoming and the restaurant was clean. They are not a huge restaurant but it can still hold a large party and some small parties. They have plenty of parking which is excellent. We decided to order soy garlic, sweet and spicy, original wings and boneless galbi wings. The wings are fried to order and came out extremely fresh and juicy. My personal favorite was the original wings and my husband loved the soy garlic the most. You can't really fault ANY of the flavors though, they were all quite tasty and deep fried to perfection. The wings were surprisingly not greasy and we loved them so much we ordered a large batch to-go to enjoy at home again the next day Our to-go food experience was just as good. We got the cheddar cheese and original to go. Reheated up the chicken in our air fryer and it was just as juicy as it was the day before. Looking forward to coming here again after their official grand opening soon! read more

This new place has really good chicken! A number of different seasonings and a few sides. The only bummer is no steamed rice. We had fries and the pickled radish. Plenty of non-alcoholic drink options. And table service if you're dining in! The photos show boneless sweet and spicy with fries and a medium bone-in with sweet and spicy on half and "galbi" on the other half. The crust was light and crispy all the way until we boxed up the leftovers. I have no idea what is happening in the boxes right now, the boxes are waiting for us to open them. Besides the steamed rice, the only other thing I would like is some shake on seasonings for the radish. It was fairly one dimensional and could go many different ways with some sweet or savory seasonings. We'll be back! Update: They now offer rice as a side and are supposed to come out with a few new menu items soon. Had the soy/garlic wings today and they are delicious as well. read more

Was in Burlington for the Ultimate Frisbee Nationals last weekend. We were hungry and looking for a lunch spot. I rattled off some 4.5 and higher rated places and when I mentioned Korean fried chicken, one in the group said that sounded good. Off we went to Swan's. It was located next to a 7-11, but you could see pride of ownership/occupancy on the outside. No garbage overflowing in the back, very clean around the outside, and the building, although older, had fresh appearing paint. The interior ambiance was clean, bright, and simple. The staff and service was friendly and responsive, the menus were two-sided and laminated with clear stylized print with corresponding pictures of the variety of dishes. We ordered at the counter and within 10 to 15 minutes our food was delivered to our table. The food was very good, no surprise at this point. Did I mention the pride and cleanliness? This is an unremarkable looking place driving by, but the devil is in the details. This was a super pleasant experience and for what it is, a Korean fried chicken restaurant, they nail it. Mastery of the basics in a craft, dish, performance, or skill is underrated. Kudos to Swan's for what they provide. Solid, enjoyable, Korean fried chicken. 4.7! read more

I was craving some korean fried chicken while visiting the area and was pleasantly surprised to see this restaurant pop up. Both the food and service were top-notch. I got both the soy garlic and sweet&spicy chicken, as well as the rosé tteokbokki. Everything was great - chicken was perfectly crunchy and not oily like some other places. I appreciated that the boneless chicken was in smaller pieces and not dry. Rosé tteokbokki had good balance of flavor with a nice creaminess. It had a generous portion of fish cakes and sausages as well. Overall, I give all the items I tried a 5/5. Service was great as the staff was friendly and attentive. I saw a sign noting a pending liquor license, so hope to come back to have chicken & beer. read more

The food is amazing! We have the Sweet Extra spicey chicken and it was heaven. Best chicken I have had in years. Wish I lived closer, as I woul eat here weekly! The fries, the other sauces and the cheese corn were also very tasty! May have to travel back here just for the chicken. read more

Big wings with great flavor. It was very busy, so thankful we got in before the lunch rush on a Saturday. FYI, be careful not to burn yourself with the crazy hot water in the bathroom when washing hands after eating wings; that was an unpleasant surprise, as I have old lady dishwasher style hands and it caught me off guard. Absolutely still valid to give a 5 star review, though. Food is great and service is polite. read more

Food was great! Loved the breading and the chicken was moist. I wasn't personally a fan of the cheese rub, but the kids thought it was great. The corn was a real hit and the rice cake things weren't bad either. read more

The Best Korean Fried Chicken. This chicken is da bomb! Extra large chicken wings (no, you won't find these at Safeway), cooked to perfection. These wings were served crispy, hot, tender and juicy. I tried the medium 8 pc. Sweet & Extra Spicy wings and rice, with pickled radish. Simply the best! Although Swan's needs to upgrade their napkins. They gave me 2 napkins and I blew thru them with 4 wings. The moist towelette was a nice touch but I ended going to the restroom to wash up. The dining area and restroom was very clean. I can't wait to come back and eat more chicken! read more
