Overall, 3 stars. Background music was too foreground. Chicken itself is great, but seems we missed the bus to flavor town. If the sauce game was stepped up and maybe prices adjusted down a hair (ideas on how below), I could see myself coming back here on occasion.
Alas, I may never know.
More details: Food wise, the chicken is great. Juicy, crispy, fresh and steamy as you bite in. However, the sauces and the customization options I found lacking. We tried 3 different sauces, which required us to purchase 3 individual baskets of wings. Other Korean Fried Chicken restaurants have optioned extra sauce on the side for a small fee, so to be told “we don’t do that,” was an inconvenience to both my curiosity and my wallet, considering $16/flavor for a Medium basket.
We tried 3 different flavors for the chicken, and each had little going for them. Special Sauce mostly just tasted sweet. Gangnam was better, but didn’t WOW me. Even the Wings of Fire, the “hottest Korean wings,” didn’t have a lot going for them. Not that they were so spicy that you couldn’t taste anything else - they weren’t even spicy.
As for the sides, the waffle fries and 소떡소떡 were good, if not a bit steep a price for what they are and the amount provided.
For a first time visit, I wasn’t that impressed. They do have good chicken, but man was the flavor of the sauces and the fact that I couldn’t sample some on the side a letdown. And, again, at $16 a basket with only one flavor choice, if you get a disappointing flavor like we did, there’s not much motivation to come back and try others. I’d highly recommend offering sauces on the side so customers can sample them and find what they like and be more...

Read moreGO TO THE CARROLLTON LOCATION I PROMISE IT IS WORTH THE DRIVE!!! I WILL NEVER SUGGEST NOR RETURN TO THIS LOCATION
Do not order a large wing box! The wings were under cooked and soggy. I HAD/HAVE AND INFORMED THE MANAGER that I could bring the entire order back in seeing as it wasn’t edible. He informed no need. Although it was a truly disgusting scene I still kept a good attitude about it thinking mistakes happen so I call and spoke with manager Richard who gave me false hope stating “Come on in I’ll remake it as you described” My description (Fried hard, flats honey garlic). Two days later I call to see if the order can be ready for pick up seeing as I am leaving my job that is around the corner!
Richard was not there, however, a manager by the name of Thaun was, he explained they can not redo my order as promised. States Richard did not in fact tell me that it could be done! To pay $40 for an unsatisfying meal is truly unfortunate. No one is on one accord so if your meal is wrong just go back in that moment or consider your money wasted. Even when I asked for a full refund the manager needed to verify if that was possible! HATED MY EXPERIENCE!
They try to blame the sogginess over the fact that it was takeout however, they kept trying to put the words delivery in my mouth, although I personally came to pick up my own order....
