★★★★★ 5.0 Allen Green · Dec 2025

Checked it out while visiting family in the area and it’s definitely a solid spot for Korean-style fried chicken. The Legend Chicken Sando at medium spice was the clear winner — crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The mac & cheese was surprisingly good, and the Honey Bee Fried Chicken hit just right. Everything felt fresh and the portions were solid. The staff were friendly when I ordered, and there’s plenty of seating if you’re rolling through with a group. The place is clean and comfortable enough to just chill and grab a beer or two while grubbing. Definitely want to come back and see how the hotter spice levels stack up.

I had this chicken sandwich three times a week because it was just that good! I heard the ownership changed, and it really shows—the place is so much cleaner, and the food quality has improved significantly. The spicy chicken sandwich, served with coleslaw, is especially unforgettable. The combination of spicy and sweet flavors is incredibly addictive, and I can’t stop craving it. Plus, the draft beer is rich and flavorful, making it the perfect pairing with the chicken sandwich. Highly recommend!

I usually get the chicken here when I crave something delicious! The lemon pepper is awesome and the spicy has a hell of a kick! My niece and nephew when they come over always beg me to pick up from here. The woman behind the counter, Luna, always greets me with a smile and a cheerful attitude. Quite rare these days! If you ever come here, you won’t be disappointed.

Delicious Korean fried chicken. Medium spice hit just right, crispy, juicy, flavorful. Sides were solid too. Big thanks to Luna for being so friendly and helpful with recommendations. Definitely coming back!

Really great service, they're so kind and respond really fast! The chicken is so good and crispy and moist! The kimchi rice is also good and spicy! The rice cakes are DELICIOUS! THE HONEY BEE WINGS ARE SWEET AND SPICY IT'S SO GOOD! Even the starter salad was great!
