This is a pretty popular fried chicken chain in Korea. I was surprised to see it in the states.They have various flavors for the fried chicken such as soy, honey soy, garlic, smoky chili, and powdered cheese flavor.I chose to get the boneless whole chicken ($34) in garlic sauce, cup of gangjung ($8), boneless chicken feet ($30), cheese buldak ($25), and chicken sandwich with fries in white garlic sauce ($13) for my family and I. Since they recently opened, they had a special of free cheeseballs with a $30+ purchase.The chicken was moist and the extra crispy breading was not soggy when I got home. The garlic sauce was not too sauce or thick. The breading was crispy and the sauce clung to the chicken well.I also got the boneless chicken feet (dakbal) which is hard to find in Korean restaurants in the states. Loads of sliced onions, chili, and cabbage in a thick and spicy sauce. It had a good amount of heat, I have a good heat tolerance so it might be too much for my parents. I didnt ask if they can adjust the heat level to the chicken feet. The cheese buldak had plenty of melted mozzarella cheese, sliced chili, onions with chunks of chicken. It had a good heat to it.The chicken sandwich was a large portion with sliced cabbage in a white garlic sauce. My brother chose it and said that the dressing was a sweet mayo sauce and did not taste the garlic in it. The fries were good and crispy. I got the small cup of gangjung which is boneless chicken in an sweet and kinda spicy sauce with small pieces of fried tteok (rice cakes). I do like their cheese balls, its very chewy with melted mozzaralla cheese. Its slightly sweet from the chewy dough they use. I do wish they had sotteok sotteok or tteokkochi with fried chicken.I got it to go and the saucy items were well protected. The place is clean and a good amount of seating. The staff is nice, the wait time was not long.

Went for lunch. Got the Cupbop, Gangjung and the Chicken Sandwich. Delicious flavor, lots of crunch, good portion for the price. Would recommend to my friends and family. I will definitely coming back during dinnertime for drinks with the chicken.

I really enjoy the fried chicken, it is so crispy and crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, they really take the time to marinate their chicken and it’s good quality. I often only eat here for fried chicken and it’s affordable

The taste, service, and atmosphere are all excellent! The combination of cold beer and chicken is always the best!

Amazing quality chicken sandwich. Tender juicy meat, savory garlic sauce but not overpowering, soft fresh bun, the fries are great. And the price is right - $13. The nearby kbbq restaurants have some real competition from this place. Ambiance is good clean and feels like a hip Korean restaurant. Free cheese balls - nice touch!

The stores interior decoration was clean and cozy, the service was very friendly, and the food was very delicious. I had a great time. I think people, especially young people, will really like it. Come and try it. Youll love it.
