Ordered: Medium Drums & Wings Combo (~$28): half soy garlic & half hot spicy; with pickled daikon radish Kimchi Fried Rice w Chicken (~$21): sunnyside egg, stir-fried rice, assorted vegetables & kimchi, and chicken Sapparo on Draft Pint (~$6 HH price) Aya's take: Korean fried chicken is truly one of the best styles of fried chicken out there and we decided to try it at Turntable Chicken Jazz. It's pretty cool that this Turntable location is fully decorated with records, record players, posters, etc. and of course, with jazz playing in the background. We ordered the Medium Drums & Wings Combo which took about 30 minutes to prepare. In the meantime, we enjoyed the Kimchi Fried Rice w Chicken which was pretty solid. It was cooked well, good balance of savory & spicy flavors from the kimchi and the sunnyside egg added more umami and creaminess. I still felt it was a bit dry and could've used like spicy mayo but that's just me. The Medium Drums & Wings Combo was perfect for sharing among 2 people. Both flavors were delicious but the hot spicy just had more depth than the soy garlic. The pieces are large and the crunch is insanely addictive. And no better way to wash it all down than with a Sapparo on draft! Great try! read more

Hmm, this joint wasn't that bad! First of all, it's located on 33rd Ave. After a long day of work on Friday, I appreciated not having to go through the crowd in Ktown, although the hardcore partiers may feel otherwise. We went with an order of cheesy corn, a spiral potato each, and a medium order of boneless, Half and half. I thought it was strange that they specifically warned us that it would take some time to make it. I mean that's what I came for, some proper Korean Fried Chicken that's made to order! The cooking method literally takes time to fry it at least twice! As strange as it was to see them do this at every table, apparently it was because some uncultured dum-dums got their KFCs confused. I mean damn, imagine having to work in a place where you have to overexplain the obvious to each customer! "Welcome to Moonbucks! By the way ma'am, our hot beverages comes out very hot. Yes ma'am, that includes the pumpkin spiced latte. Yes ma'am, it is flavored with cinnamon." Derp. The decor around here was pretty cool, all hip and shit. And by our meal's end, this place was poppin'! If you and your crew decide to dine put here, better hustle on over right after work, cuz it's gonna be packed! read more

I'm torn on what is better at Turntable Chicken Jazz: the atmosphere or the chicken. Honestly it's a tie, with both being exceptional. The vibe and decor is 1950's jazz, and it's a perfect break from the outside world. They have a great beer and cocktail menu , so right there I'm all in. There are seats and communal tables by the bar, a dining room area, and then an additional room in the back, which I'd imagine would be perfect for a private event. The whole place is a throwback in the best possible way. Then there's the food, which can throw down against any other Korean chicken spot and come out on top. Prices were reasonable and, when we went on a Saturday, felt like a bit of a bargain compared to some of their neighbors. Service was prompt, friendly, and not overbearing. What's not to like? We'll definitely be back. read more

Service and drinks here are always amazing! Food can be a hit but it's not really a miss, just your staple bar food with a korean twist. Vibes here are great, too. Perfect for first (or tenth) date! read more

Not sure what happened to Turntable.. years ago I felt like this was one of the top go to place for Korean wings and somehow this time around left me with a "meh" experience. This may have set the tone for me to go elsewhere for wings in this area. Soy garlic wings -3/5 - missing that soy garlic flavor. Don't know if they're skimping on the sauce or what's going on but it was alright Spicy wings - 3/5 - my initial thought after the first bite was "i don't remember these being salty". It was also alright Service on point so nothing to complain about there and the jazz theme is still going strong for this location. Unfortunately, I can't say this is one of the best places for k wings anymore and I'm disappointed since I used to rave about this place. Definitely has gone down in quality. RIP Turntable read more

Last week I went to turntable chicken jazz with some of my colleagues for an after work, happy hour. The interior design of this place is phenomenal and really gives off a warm cozy vibe. The service was really good, we were brought to our table that we were reserved fairly quickly and we were able to get someone's attention without having to wait too long. I will say the chicken is good, but it wasn't anything out of this world. I would still recommend this place to anyone looking for good chicken and a great ambience. read more

Funny enough, I found this spot by overhearing people at the Met talking about how good it is. And sooo glad I came to check it out! The size of the wings were pleasantly surprising and the flavors (hot & spicy, garlic/soy) were punchy without being overbearing. Service was quick and attentive. Although we were leaving around 10pm, it looked like it was starting to pick up and had fun punch bowls for larger groups. Glad we popped by for a late night snack! read more

Ambiance (5/5): The decoration from floor to ceiling is SICK. The bookshelves, music records, wooden panels/lighting is such a vibe! The noise volume is moderate. There's also another dining room to the back of the restaurant. Service (3/5): The hostess allowed our party to partially sit vs wait for everyone. We ordered drinks and food before the whole party arrived. The food takes forever to arrive including a corn on a cob that took 30 minutes from ordering. Understandably, fried chicken takes time to cook. Drinks are quick though. Elote Smokey Corn (2/5): Nothing special about this. Skip! Bulgogi Burger (5/5): Super flavorful and delicious sauce with a bun that held well. Fries were cooked with a crunch which I preferred. Fried Chicken (5/5): Wonderfully breaded and flavorful. The wings are large/juicy. $18 soju bottles which feels like a robbery. read more

I love this place! I've been twice now and I can confidently say this spot will be in my restaurant rotation moving forward. The highlight is definitely the ambiance, the food coming in at a close second. It's really nice to be immersed in this place by the sounds of Jazz and the impeccable record collection on the walls. So much rich history and culture brings a warm feeling inside. So far I've tried the Korean Fried Chicken which is super crispy, flavorful and filling. The chicken fried rice is perfectly starchy and rich. It will fill you up quickly! I'm blanking on the name but the spiral potatoes are also yummy & my go to beer is the German grapefruit Schöfferhofer which is nice to enjoy on tap. Great place to come with a small or big group as they're very accommodating and wait times to sit aren't long. You should be prepared to wait 20 mins for your chicken though! Super worth it. read more

Really good Korean chicken spot! The vibes and ambiance are so cool, as it is a little cozy jazz bar-esque spot. I shared the Korean fried chicken in half soy garlic and half spicy, and an order of Kimchi fried rice. It was the perfect amount of food for three people, and everything was soo good. I loved the chicken, and the spicy flavor had a kick! read more

Tasty food plus good vibes! I came here with a friend on a Friday evening while I was in town for a few days. We had made a reservation for 6:30pm but it didn't look overly busy when we arrived, though the place was definitely lively (and maybe a little too loud at times since we had to raise our voices to hear one another). We both ordered the soy garlic chicken (I got wings while my friend got boneless) and shared the corn cheese appetizer. Food came out pretty quickly and everything was solid. Corn cheese was tasty as a classic appetizer, and I liked that the crunch of the chicken held up nicely with the sauce and it never felt soggy throughout our meal. read more

What a cute little spot for some wings and good conversation. The decor is engrossing too, with lots of cool little music equipment to check out. The services was great and we'll be back soon. read more

Very cool place. Great music and vibe which gets 5 stars for me. I think they have a DJ there some days. Metal chairs at the bar weren't that comfortable. Food was very good. We were told the chicken wings would take 30 mins which seemed like a long time, however that wasn't our experience and I was happy it didn't take that long. We wanted drinks but seeing their prices, we knew we could go somewhere else not far away for a better deal. I'm sure they were good since we saw lots of drinks leaving the bar. Enjoyed the lemonade mocktail and would have that again. If we come back, I'd opt to sit in their dining area in the back. The stools at the highboy tables in the front did not seem comfortable or supportive either. Service from the bartender was cool. All and all, it was the music and decor that stole the show. read more

Such a cute place! The decor is so beautiful--filled with vinyl records, books, cool lighting--and there is plenty of seating. The service was standard and the food came out pretty quickly. The food itself was really good! I think it's a bit pricey though. The hush puppies are good but not worth the price imo. The Korean fried chicken was AMAZING tho. So crispy and sweet. I tried the pickleback shot and it was soooo good. If u rlly like pickles and pickle juice you should try it! read more

Really good fried chicken and truffle fries! It's expensive, but it's kind of expected in K-town. I liked the ambiance; it feels upscale, which is rare for a fried chicken spot. The staff were also very friendly. Be aware that if you order fried chicken, it can take up to 30 minutes for them to make. read more

Perfect place with amazing food and a great atmosphere. Wheather your 20, 30, 40, or 50+ the vibe is cool and food is fire.

Longtime fans of Turntable Chicken Jazz in Koreatown, we were excited to return after a long hiatus. While the atmosphere remains cozy and inviting, with its dim lighting and LP-inspired decor, we were slightly disappointed to find that they no longer offer the lychee soju for two option, which was a highlight for us. However, our regular favorites still hit the spot - the lychee martini, potato twister, and small chicken drumstick were all delicious. The vibes are still on point, transporting us from the bright NYC streets to a warm, intimate space. Overall, we'd still highly recommend Turntable Chicken Jazz for its food, drinks, and ambiance. Hopefully, they'll bring back the lychee soju for two option soon, if not, we just have to return with friends. read more

Turntable is total vibes, very cozy, romantic, and hip spot. The combo half sweet and spicy hit the spot and was gone within minutes. The sweet balanced out the spicy, and the spicy stole the show. The service was quick and upfront letting us know that the chicken would take a while to prepare, but it was worth the wait. read more

Sometimes I get my craving for what I tell people is KFC.. Lol They say "I thought you don't each fast food?" And I say I don't. It's Korean fried chicken. And I have to say that turntable chicken is definitely my favorite spot to go to when it comes to Korean fried chicken. So I took a friend there and we shared some boneless chicken strips with soy and garlic sauce along with a side of white rice. And I have to say, as usual, it did not disappoint. The chicken is nice and soft, and the flavor is incredibly delicious. Out of this world. The service was great. Later was very attentive and accommodating. As far as the ambience, it's a big part of the experience as they have shelves of vintage jazz records, lining the walls, along with vintage phonographs and Real reels. Old radios and such. It definitely brings a nostalgia to the venue, especially for music and jazz lovers which I am a big fan of both. So if you are looking for some great food or Korean fried chicken and Love, jazz, music and vintage audio equipment you can get it all together at one place right here at turntable chicken! All right now, have a blessed day everyone! -Ray read more

Turntable Chicken Jazz was a hidden gem I stumbled upon, and I'm so glad I did. Loved the cool, chill vibe with records, vintage equipment, and smooth music setting the mood. The bar is gorgeous, and the food was all delicious--can't go wrong with any of the chicken dishes. But seriously, get the dumplings... mouthwatering. Also I. The pictures hush puppies and fries of course. For drinks I had three lychee martinis because they were just that good! Our sever was great and would love to come back. read more

We stopped by for their lunch specials. There wasn't much of a lunch crowd here as their lunch specials are dine in only. The lighting inside their main dining area was a bit dim but I liked that there were coat hooks near each table. The theming of the restaurant was really nice, it felt on par with themed restaurants I've visited at Universal/Disney. I got the bulgogi and my brother tried the boneless fried chicken breast with soy garlic sauce. Both came with salad and rice. The portions were very generous and we both left fulling full! The chicken wasn't as crunchy as I had hoped but the flavor was good and it was really tender and juicy. The beef was nicely seasoned and tasted like your typical bulgogi. Overall it's a pretty good deal if you're looking for lunch in the Midtown area. The plastic cups could use a bit more TLC as quite a few of them were chipped (which I guess you can't really tell with the dim lighting). read more

Chicken was good but not spectacular. Lacked sauced and it only came with a small side of pickled radish. The breading was yummy and chicken was tender but it overall lacked sauce and it only came with an extremely small side of bad pickled radish. Corn cheese was also just ok, just straight up boiled corn with melted cheese on top. Service took extremely long and it felt like our table was often forgotten! read more

Fun spot to hang with large groups - good for bigger parties / celebrations as a dinner before karaoke or going out in K-town. As you may guess from their name, chicken is their specialty, but even so it's only just decent and all the other food was a bit of a miss. My friend described the cheesy corn as "soapy" and the kimchi pancake as "stretchy", which we all felt were pretty accurate labels for both. For chicken, we got a combo with soy garlic and spicy, and the flavors were pretty similar. My spice tolerance is pretty low and even I felt the spicy was quite mild. Drinks however were pretty decent! We got peach bombs and lots of "soju cocktails" which were very similar to regular flavored soju. Do keep in mind that all the drinks feel very very weak, but they have a fun variety of options that are all quite tasty. We also saw others order this vessel with lots of smoke as we were leaving which looked like such a fun drink! In terms of service, they were good at keeping to our reservation and booking us a nice spot (vs. squishing people in as some people do); however, they aren't the most attentive (not enough sets / cups), slow service generally, which is fine for a larger group, but not as nice if you're expecting regular service. read more

Whoever was running front of house on 12/30 was doing an amazing job. My online pickup order got messed up through no fault of the restaurant and I had to wait 25 more minutes. Not only were they genuinely apologetic, but while I was waiting I watched the FOH lead doing an amazing job - like all the jobs. Making sure everyone, including me, was taken care of. I mean the chicken is amazing, but the service and ambiance of the place as a result was great. read more

Went here on a Sunday night cause I was craving Korean fried chicken - ordered the wings half soy and half spicy and one kimchi pancake. The kimchi pancake was a little too burnt for my taste but flavors were good and it came with a nice light sesame sauce. The wings were way crispier than they looked which was a pleasant surprise. The soy sauce wings were a good flavor but the spicy ones were pretty plain for my taste. The service was average but the ambiance was pretty cool! They had a bunch of records in the walls, a few dozen radios on the wall, and rock music playing. Overall I would probably only go back here for the soy sauce wings if I'm going for a night out drinking. read more

Made a reservation for 4 and came on a Friday night. It was so loud and we could barely hear each other but the main star was the chicken. The spicy was pretty spicy but the soy sauce one was good/better. I thought it was a good thin layer of batter and the flavor was good. The rest of the food was super mediocre - potato twist, corn cheese and sesame ginger dressing salad. The kimchi fried rice we all agreed was not great. read more

My first time here, will definitely visit again. Customer service and wait staff were very friendly. Unfortunately not very knowledgeable on the menu, as I asked my normal questions when I dine anywhere, they lacked the answers to basic questions. Lived the ambiance and Jazz decore, the extra touch is the Jazz music playing as you eat. Food overall solid. Hush puppies (7.3 out of 10) Very well fried and nicely battered, sweet tasting could use a pinch of finishing salt. The dipping sauce I was not a fan of. Seafood Fried Rice (8.8 out of 10) Well rounded and fresh fried rice. Large shrimp, small shrimp, mussels, claims, egg, carrots and scallions. Kimchi (0 out of 10) Did not taste like authentic Kimich. Not sure if it was mostly Napa Cabbage like most kimchi tasted red bell peppers. No spice, a bit of acidity but definitely a MISS. Chicken (8 out of 10) Had both the soy flavor and Hot. Hot gives a nice kick not too overwhelming, Soy your traditional stick soy garlic sauce. Although the sauces were nice, the chicken it self lacked seasoning, definitely could you SALT, PEPPER, GARLIC on chicken. Order also comes with some picked daikon, which were quite refreshing and a palate cleanser. Overall (8.2 out of 10) read more

Came here for a late-night snack and some beer. I ordered the boneless chicken and it was probably not the best idea because it was small slices of chicken coated with sauce. I should've probably gone with bone-in. The service and atmosphere are conducive to conversations with friends. At the time we went, it wasn't crowded or super busy. Spacious seating and all. read more

Love the ambiance and decor, but the food wasn't thaaat memorable. Got the hand cut fries with spicy mayo dipping sauce. Fries were surprisingly crispy and paired wonderfully with the sauce. Kimchi pancake was okay- wish it was a bit more crispy (maybe it's a personal preference thing). Friends shared the fried calamari. They said it was good, but I didn't personally try. As for the chicken, we got half soy half spicy wings and boneless breasts. Boneless breasts were a bit dry- would probably just get the wings if we ever come back. The spicy flavor was underwhelming... no kick to it. Would probably come back for the atmosphere. definitely makes for a fun time with friends ! just wouldn't come with the highest expectations for the food lol read more

Been here twice now so wanted to send a review. Pretty okay place, the chicken wasn't the most memorable but always have a good time going. Chicken is fine but isn't anything to write home about but very consistently good. Place has a good amount of seating and service was good. Tried a few sides as well, fries, twisters, corn cheese. All pretty solid, the potato twister/tornados are cool but are pretty hard to eat. Get it for fun once and just stick to fries after the first time's charm. read more

The last time I came here was pre covid. I love their Korean fried chicken and the jazzy relaxed vibe with dim lighting. I wasn't planning to come back here but I was looking for a local spot with fried calamari and this happened to come up on grubhub. They make their calamari with powdered cheese on top and spicy mayo (I asked for mine in the side) and red (marinara?) sauce. I thought the portion size was great for the price. I had the calamari along with a side of white rice as my dinner. The calamari has a nice crispy how I like. However, the food was sorely lacking in salt. Even the red dipping sauce tasted like it had no salt in it. Once I added salt, this brought the dish to life and it tasted good. I was surprise that the food was low in salt since their chicken is pretty good. I would still probably come back here but might think twice about the calamari again since it's not the main draw here. read more

I came here for lunch after watching a movie nearby with a group of 4 people. I'm always down for KFC (Korean fried chicken), not the Kentucky kind haha. We ordered the truffle fries, the seafood pancake, and the large size Korean fried chicken (half and half, soy garlic and spicy). I liked the atmosphere, very retro and rustic. They're known for their Korean fried chicken and it seems to be the best dish to get here. It was actually spicy and soy garlic was pretty flavorful as well. The seafood pancake barely had any seafood so would pass on it. The fries were okay, not very crispy though. If you're craving KFC, it's a solid choice. read more
