Kpop Rice Flour Chicken(Old Ssal Chicken #2) — Restaurant in Anaheim

This review is overdue. I have supported them for many years and told many about this place.

Pro: The fried chicken is great along with the sauces and gluten free friendly.

Cons: There's a young lady who works there(L?) who has mistreated me multiple times. This is appalling considering I am a loyal gluten-free customer. The old man who I think is the owner barely speaks English and was not proactive in doing what he could to resolve the matter. I have experienced great service from a guy (20s) who works there but this young lady tends to work there often when I order. She can be extremely passive-aggressive and she has gaslighted me and responded in petty ways. She lacks professionalism and can be extremely rude. I left my card with her one time and needed to run to the restroom-- instead of keeping my card near her and face down, she placed my card facing up with all the numbers showing right where customers tend to pay and sign and the customer standing there to pay was staring at my card which is how I realized what happened in the first place. When I confronted her about her mishandling, she was argumentative and unapologetic. She refused to acknowledge the mishandling of my confidential bank card. And to make matters worse, she handled my food and decided to give me only one napkin which is inconsistent with the way they provided napkins and etc for previous orders.

Her behavior is abusive and she will be the first person I call police on to file a report if I encounter this mistreatment again. I was last there in May and haven't gone back since. I should not have to feel this way or avoid supporting a worthwhile business because of a bad employee. You need to fire her. She's a...

Almost three years ago, I tried Kpop Rice Flour Chicken for the first time via a delivery service. The name almost made me hesitate, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. They use rice flour to batter their chicken, making it a fantastic option for those who are gluten-free. However, be cautious as some sauces still contain gluten.

Gluten-Free Options: Traditional Chicken Honey Garlic Chicken Chicken Gizzard Bossam Restaurant Atmosphere: The restaurant has the typical vibe of an older Korean establishment, featuring mostly booth seating, Kpop singers on soju advertisements, and Kpop music playing in the background.

Food Ratings: Traditional Chicken: 8.7/10 The chicken is excellent, especially since I typically can’t have fried chicken. The honey garlic sauce is okay, but the traditional version is the best. Honey Garlic Chicken: 7.2/10 I ordered the sauce on the side because the garlic flavor can be overpowering. It’s good, but not my favorite. Bossam: 6.4/10 This isn’t the place to come for bossam. It’s fine as a side dish but lacks some staple pairings, particularly kimchi. Fried Gizzard: 9.1/10 The fried gizzard is outstanding. The rice flour gives it a crispy texture, and the combination of crunch and meatiness is perfect. Overall: Kpop Rice Flour Chicken is a must-visit for those with dietary restrictions like mine. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves...

Whenever my family is in the area, we always try to eat at Kpop Rice Flour Chicken. I’ve gone maybe 3-4 times and I keep coming back for the chicken’s crispiness and delicious sauce. Though I noticed the last time I went, the chicken wasn’t as crispy as before. I’m hoping it was just a one-time fluke.

Parking/Service/Ambiance: Lots of parking in the lot even on a Friday night. I appreciated that there’s a call button on each table to prevent having to wave down a server. Food came out fairly quickly. Lots of indoor (only) tables and seats. There were several TVs that streamed sports games. It was nice to watch the Dodgers game while we were eating. There are 2 bathrooms and it was pretty clean.

Food: -#9 Spicy Rice Cake with Ramen: great to share as appetizer. For me this wasn’t too spicy and I love the flavor. -Corn Cheese: could comfortably share with 2-3 people -Ssal Hot and Spicy Chicken: half order came with 6 pieces. For someone who likes super spicy food, this wasn’t very spicy to me. I love the sauciness and the flavor though as mentioned, I wish it was a tad bit crispier. -Ssal Honey Garlic Chicken: full order came with about 12.

Overall: I’m hoping that the lack of crispiness of the chicken was a one time thing. Otherwise, I’ll continue to come back to...
