    Korean Fried Chicken with Jolla sauce
    Carmen N.

    An absolute hidden gem. Best place and only place for Korean Fried Chicken in the heart of Chinatown. Went there for lunch on hot summer day and was able to get seats immediately. The staff was super attentive. We started off with the fried veggies and then moved on to the main course. The fried chicken drums and wings! Nice and crispy on the outside and tender/juicy on the inside. The sauce was intense. Got the super spicy guaranteed to sweat bullets spicy and it had a nice kick! (For my fellow vindaloo lovers, the sauce was still very manageable- just as a reference). All in all, place did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend and come back again!

    Boneless Chicken (Honey Garlic)

    I went here on Valentine's Day to pick up a quick bite and it was so good! The chicken was nicely fried and crispy. The staff were super friendly! I loved how the insight had a rustic cozy feel too! Overall I recommend. I definitely need to go back and try other food options.

    Stopped into Tada for lunch. Was greeted immediately and given a table. Service is attentive. I ordered the $9.99 lunch which was chicken with a side of salad, cucumbers and rice. It came out pretty quick. The chicken is tasty and I love the marinade they use with the salad. The cucumbers look spicy, but they are not. It wasn't overly crowded for lunch, but by the time I left more tables had been filled. Servers are around if you need anything but aren't rushing you. Love the sister restaurants Tofu Tofu & Lululala as well!

    Japchae
    Melody C.

    Passed by here enough times to finally stop in. Very clean environment. Tables mostly filled up, but not "crowded." We got the soy garlic fried chicken (wings and drums) and fried spare ribs. The meats were pretty good, and the restaurant gives you buckets to discard your bones and gloves to keep your hands clean. I don't recommend getting the japchae. The portion is obnoxiously small and didn't taste that authentic. I liked that they provide a complimentary salad at the beginning of the meal. If you're lucky, you might pass by when they're giving out samples out front.

    Beef Hot Stone Bibimbap (3/5)
    Karen Y.

    It's a pretty good 3.5 spot for fried chicken to satisfy your craving without going to Ktown! Came here for lunch after our hair appointment, and wanted something savory. TADA has enough tables for a crowd of 20, decent size. Very nice staff, variety of combinations from fried chicken sets to platters with rice. We got the soy garlic wings (pretty solid - lighter batter) and a beef bibimbap (this was ok... not the best version, missing seaweed, fernbrake, lacks sesame oil flavor). Also got a kimchi pancake - quite crispy and we liked this one, although it could use more kimchi inside. Overall a solid spot for a quick lunch. If in Chinatown, and craving this w/o going to Ktown, this will satisfy your craving.

    Have tried a few spots for Korean BBQ and swore I had already had the peak best. This has been by far the best I've tried anywhere in the city. The food came out quick and the servers were able to recommend some menu items as it was our first time dining here. Highly recommend the broth/soup along with the chicken itself wow

    The $12.99 special of rice, 2 piece chicken and salad
    Kneenoshhka G.

    In all my years working near Chinatown, I haven't really ventured out to find good lunch spots BUT I think I found one. Most of the places in Chinatown are cash only and since this gurl never carries cash, I haven't exploredEXPLORED... But Tada was cool. I've been here many moons ago so I'm actually coming back to this spot. Korean BBQ... I got the honey soy garlic wings - not as great as Mad for Chicken but it comes close. I loved how you got gloves with your order of wings. I got the 2 piece special that comes with rice and salad ($14.14). Service does take a bit of time BUT it's worth it I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu for sure.

    Great Korean fried chicken place in Chinatown. The wings are perfectly crispy without being greasy. I also like the kimchi pancake! I wish they will give more Banchan

    Carmen L.

    My to go take out spot for Korean fried chicken . $32 for a whole chicken that can feed 2 people or maybe 3 . We got the soy garlic flavor. Skin was nice crispy and flavorful. They give you free side macaroni and salad. Service was quick as it was a pick up. Very spacious inside if you want to have a sit down meal.

    Fried ribs and curry
    Shad P.

    The food was definitely bussin. Juicy and perfectly fried rib with a solid amount of meat on it. The wings were fried to perfection as well and they did not slack in the protein to sauce ratio. The curry was tasty as well could lacked a hint of spice in my opinion. Hot Stone Bibimbap was pretty tasty as well but I personally needed a sauce on the side (they provided me with some honey ginger). The service was pretty good. The whole staff was attentive at all times. The ambiance gave diner vibes. Nice place for a quick bite!

    Cat D.

    The food is good here, fast service and friendly staff. What I liked the most is that they provided gloves so you don't get your hands all messy. The food was the right amount and delicious. It came right out of the kitchen so it was fresh and hot when it got to us. The dining area was bright and clean, and not too noisy. Here's what we ordered: - 8 pcs wings and 5 pcs drum (wings were Honey Soy Garlic and drums were original ginger crispy) It was enough for 2 people. It was very good. It came with a salad with ginger dressing and a macaroni salad. All very good!

    Food always tasty. The sunmer menu cold noodle is great just wish it had beef in there. Staff & service is always great. Will be returning.

    TADA IS SOOO GOOD! Delicious chicken and rice! I only ever order it when I'm gaming at OS. Since it's ordered to-go and arrives at the lounge it arrives promptly, hot and delicious. 10/10 service. I've only ever walked by the actual restaurant once and it looks inviting. I would definitely choose it as a 1st choice to introduce friends to in that area.

    If you haven't been to Pecking House yet, consider this your sign to go. The restaurant has become…read morea favorite among the Gen Z crowd, and after one bite of its signature chili-fried chicken, it's easy to understand why. The chicken is crunchy, intensely flavorful, and carries just the right amount of heat. Each piece is buttermilk-brined, country-fried, and dusted with Sichuan peppercorns, Tianjin chilis, and five-spice, creating a combination that's spicy, numbing, savory, and deeply addictive all at once. But the menu goes beyond the famous fried chicken. Seasonal dishes rotate regularly, alongside standout chicken sandwiches and wings that deserve just as much attention. There's an energy to the food that feels modern without losing sight of technique or tradition. That balance comes directly from chef and founder Eric Huang. Huang grew up working in his family's Chinese restaurant while training as a cellist at Juilliard School before eventually abandoning music. After a detour studying history at Northwestern University, he committed fully to cooking and spent more than a decade training in some of NYC's most prominent kitchens, including Cafe Boulud, Gramercy Tavern, and Eleven Madison Park. As a sous chef at Eleven Madison Park, he was part of the team that helped the restaurant earn the title of "Best Restaurant in the World" in 2017. Like many chefs, Huang's plans changed dramatically in 2020 when the pandemic interrupted his ambitions of opening a Michelin-starred restaurant. Instead, he returned home to help save his family's struggling business. Out of that difficult moment came the dish that would define Pecking House: the now-famous Sichuan chili country fried chicken, reportedly perfected on the very first attempt. Pecking House succeeds because it combines serious culinary pedigree with food that's delicious, craveable, and unpretentious. The fried chicken alone is worth the trip and the long line.

I was surprised to find that it's a ghost kitchen. You walk behind the coffee shop and order from a kiosk with many other restaurants to order from as well. My order took 15 minutes and within the estimated time frame that they gave you. Once my order was ready, I clicked to open via text and the locker popped open with my bag --viola! I ordered the Claude the Claw ($18.99) with medium spicy sauce on the side. The sandwich is pretty huge. I like how they wrapped the sandwich around the claw sticking out from the bottom. I did take it out of the wrapper for the picture, but suggest you keep the wrapper on as it gets messy to eat. The spices and flavor is delicious and the chicken is crispy and tender. It's a great Nashville hot chicken sandwich overall. While the claw is insta-worthy, it's not quite worth the extra $4 (plus you can't really even eat it, so it's all for show). I'd suggest getting the claw for your first time, but I'd get the regular sandwich in the future for the lower price.

You will need to decide for yourself if it lives up to the hype. A heads up, the place can be tricky to find. It's tucked inside a building behind the coffee shop that Google Maps directs you to, and seating is very limited.

I went here a while back to order lunch for takeout, and it was pretty good. After they opened, they added some specials ranging from $15 to $17, combining chicken with fries or dumplings, and I went with the sweet and spicy boneless chicken with standard fries, as you can also update the fries to the "spicy snow" version for an extra $1. The cashier was friendly. The sweet and spicy chicken is their version of Yangnyeom/양념치킨, and the combo came with a few moderately sized pieces. The breading was crispy, and the chicken inside was pretty tender. There was some sweetness, and it had a mild kick, though it wasn't as spicy as I prefer. The fries inside were OK. They had a good crisp to them and a good crunch, but needed a tad more salt. The fry portion was also much larger, so next time, I would just stick with the chicken. The free kimchi was standard and decent. This was a perfectly decent Korean chicken spot. If it were any closer to a Korean neighborhood, I doubt it would be doing well, but there is a distinct lack of Korean places nearby outside of the primarily takeout spot, which doesn't specialize at all in chicken. It fills a niche, and I would likely at some point stop in again to try their Korean chicken sandwich or their plain chicken to try more of their sauces.

You need to ask for it if you want it. And, right there!! Boom!! That's a BENEFIT OF READING YELP REVIEWS.
