Oh. My. Goodness. If you're searching for a taste of authentic Korea right here in our neighborhood, look no further! This brand-new Korean chicken spot is an absolute game-changer, and I'm practically bursting with excitement to tell everyone about it!
From the moment you step inside, you're hit with that unmistakable vibe of genuine Korean culinary passion. They've brought over an incredible array of dishes straight from Korea, making it feel like a mini-vacation for your taste buds.
Now, let's talk about the stars of the show – the chicken! For the little ones (or anyone who loves pure, unadulterated crispy goodness), the Golden Original Boneless is a dream come true. My kids devoured it! But for those of us who crave a little adventure, the Whole Chicken Half and Half with Original and Secret Sauce is where the magic truly happens. The Original is classic perfection, but the Secret Sauce? Oh, the Secret Sauce! It's this incredible symphony of flavors – a delightful dance of subtle spice and just the right touch of sweetness, without ever overwhelming your palate. It’s absolutely addictive!
Beyond the phenomenal food, the restaurant itself is sparkling clean, and I absolutely love that you can see right into the kitchen from the ordering area. It speaks volumes about their commitment to freshness and quality.
And let's not forget the incredible warmth! The owner is an absolute gem. She actually remembered me from an old "coming soon" panel picture I had! She greeted me with such a genuine, welcoming smile even before I could show her the photo. That kind of personal touch truly elevates the entire dining experience.
While their app is still getting up and running (totally understandable for a brand-new spot!), trust me, as soon as it's live, I'll be ordering from here constantly, just like I do with their other locations.
Seriously, if you haven't tried this place yet, you are missing out! Get ready for the most delicious, authentic, and heartwarming Korean chicken experience you've ever had! You'll...
Read moreAs a sushi chef, I take freshness very seriously. On my lunch break, I happened to pass by BBQ Chicken Agoura Hills. I’ve had BBQ Chicken in Koreatown before, but finding one here in Agoura Hills made my lunch break extra special.
In my line of work, I won’t eat food that isn’t fresh. Many fried chicken chains cook large batches in advance and re-fry them when orders come in—resulting in greasy, less-than-fresh chicken. But at BBQ Chicken Agoura Hills, it’s different. They have an open kitchen, and I watched them cook my order from scratch the moment it was placed. That’s the kind of care and quality that lets me eat with complete confidence.
This time, I ordered the Whole Chicken—half Golden Original and half Secret Sauce. Both were outstanding: crispy, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. Next time, I already know I’m trying the Spicy Original Wings… just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
A thoughtful touch—the owner even gave me a complimentary bottled water, which left a great impression.
From one chef to another: I strongly recommend BBQ Chicken Agoura Hills. Freshness you can see,...
Read moreI was excited to try this new Korean fried chicken spot, but I left disappointed for several reasons. First, they only use single-use plastic for everything, no reusable plates, cups, or utensils, even for dine-in customers. I specifically asked for chopsticks, and instead was handed a plastic fork. This kind of unnecessary plastic waste is frustrating and avoidable, especially when eating in.
The food is also grossly overpriced for the portion size and quality. All the flavor seems to be in the batter, not the chicken itself, which makes it feel heavy without being truly satisfying. On top of that, I experienced digestion issues for hours afterwards, which left a bad taste in more ways than one.
The only real positive was the staff as they were genuinely kind and attentive. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not justify the cost or the waste. I hope they rethink their approach to pricing, food quality, and...
