OK Rochester....This IS THE BEST CHICKEN IN THE CITY. And thank you that it is STILL in the city and not ran screaming to the UGLY BURBS. You can get this by using the bus. Anyway, the chicken itself is TOPNOTCH. As for sauce, so is the Garlic Honey. This is the only one I had, so I cant say "best". Yet I would bathe in it. And shower after. Its sticky. As for the restaurant itself....ummm, its colorful in a good way. And sort of sparce. This is not the kicker. The downer is CLEANLINESS. Its a chicken place ...I get it. But yesterdays grease and grime should not be upon everything in reach today. There is a company called CINTAS. Any great business starts with its stockroom. Any great restaurant is spiffy sanitized. And this SHOULD NOT be upon the backs of anyone serving or cooking. They have their own parts of the whole to worry about. Dont let those who handle my food to scrub the friday night Monroe Avenue toilets. Straws and napkins scattered on the floor isnt a together look. STEAMING HOT water is the only way good cleaning solutions can do their jobs properly. Grease and soda become glue upon surfaces. I just want them to succeed because the product is SO GOOD. And at the price we pay the simple trimmings should be on par with the finished result. Even though we could indulge everyday, this is chicken for NEW YEARS EVE every year!!!!! Its...
Read moreI’ve been coming here for years now and I’m still very impressed with this place. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, and the service is pretty smooth and consistent, especially when it comes to timing and making orders. I’ve never ran into a time where I thought coming to this place would not be worth my time and money so definitely 5 stars in those categories. When it comes to the atmosphere it’s really well set up and I love how they play videos on the screens with the catchy Kpop songs. Part of me wishes they had more seating, but I feel it would get cramped up easily, so the layout with the tables and chairs are really well set up when it comes to the use of the space in there. My sister and I love eating at this place no matter if it’s to dine in there or take it to-go. My parents, uncle, and my closest friend even spoke highly of this eatery so definitely to those who are looking for REALLY good chicken, I HIGHLY recommend bbq chicken Rochester to eat and enjoy the wonderful taste and vibes!
My go-tos are for sure the galbi boneless or honey garlic boneless wing combos (combos end at 3pm during the week fyi) everything is a hit! I also really like their kimchi fried rice and tteokbokki but they are on the spicier side (at least to me) so...
Read moreI’ve been craving Korean fried chicken ever since I went to Seoul 3 years ago, and my prayers have been heard. Their Korean fried chicken is hands down the best you can get in Rochester, and it 100% brings me back to Korea. The flavors are also authentic. Will definitely be back for more! Korean fried chicken is definitely different from American ones, so don’t order it and expect it to be the same.
With the cornstarch coating, their chicken stays crunchy and not at all soggy even after staying in the box for a 15minute drive. Regular order of chicken comes in 9pcs of chicken. Tteokbokki is the perfect amount of spice for someone who can handle it(no sweating or runny nose whatsoever, just has a satisfying kick to it), the level of sweetness is just right and doesn’t cancel out the heat. Also has a good amount of fish cakes in the tteokbokki, which is essential.
Definitely suggest ordering online and picking up your order in-store. If you order in-store, you’ll still have to wait 25-30minutes. There are parking in the back of the store for customers, and 1hour on-street parking...
