Delicious food! Chicken and sauces are amazing. We also tried fried rice which was delicious! The staff and service were excellent and so friendly. Definitely coming back!

Food was terrible, got a whole boneless thigh. They used flour batter, feels like im eating paper. Tastes horrible. Regret coming here, was here last 2 years ago. big downhill in quality Loud pop annoying music. TVs also not synced so you hear mismatched songs.

What a fun place to be with great food. Fried chicken was the best that you can enjoy with all different kinds of sauce. I had tuckboki and oden broth that was also really good. Fun place to be with friends sharing good food and enjoy beer in a very comfortable atmosphere! I’ll be coming again when I’m in the area.

We arrived and were seated, we were the only ones in the restaurant and were excited to try out the food. We ended up ordering the $50 "whatever combo" the man at the front desk was also the server and he was very rude, I asked if something from the combo could be switched out and he cut me off before i could even finish my sentence and basically said it wasn't possible. It was very off putting because, again we are the ONLY people there and he was deliberately not being accommodating. Honestly I wanted to walk out and leave but I'm glad we stayed because the platter of food was massive but we ended up taking the whole tray to go because it was so GREASY like, the food was hot but densely oily, like the picture of my napkin is after squeezing 3 fries between the napkin. I honestly felt ill

Pretty good spot for Korean fried chicken. We ordered the “Whatever Combo” it was a lot of food for 2 ppl. We had ton of left over. Food was tasty; however, very very greasy. I really enjoyed the calamari but the dipping sauce was subpar…I am pretty sure it was just PLAIN marinara sauce, no flavor. Atmosphere was just okay, and customer service was not memorable. I’d go again but probably one of things I’d have once in a while.
