frymazing — Restaurant in Fairfield

I came in on a Friday afternoon to grab some lunch for the kids and I. I ran across Frymazing on Yelp on a random search of Restaurants nearby. I don’t know even know this place existed until now. Being a fan of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), this restaurant stood out to me. Well, I want disappointed. Their chicken was pretty “frymazing”!

Food (4.5/5 stars): YanYum Wings: sweet, mildly spicy and tangy. Double Crunch Wings: coated with spicy ramen dry rub and chunks of seasoned crispy fried ramen. Bulgogi Bowl: mix of bulgogi (I’ve had better), cheese, green onions and chili aioli over rice. Chicken Miso Butter Rice Bowl: chicken thigh pieces simmered in miso butter sauce, green onions and house garlic aioli. Lunch Box Special: bulgogi rice, boneless KFC, pickled daikon and fried dumplings.

Service (4/5 stars): Nothing special, like many restaurants, they are shifting towards self service. Order your food, they call your name, pick up your food and you eat. Go up to the counter if you need something, otherwise no additional service. My take out order came out fairly quickly.

Ambiance (4/5 stars): They had some tables for you to eat in. I would suggest you eat in so the chicken is freshly cooked and crunchy, otherwise by the time you get home the chicken would probably not be very crunchy. There are some cute decor and is great for the social media influencer (LOL). It would be nice if they played some light Korean K-Pop to listen to while you are eating or waiting for your order.

Price: On the moderate high side for what you get with the rice bowls as there isn’t too much meat. The fried chicken prices were not too bad as their wings are pretty good size, bigger than most other chicken places. The lunch box special is the best deal and lets you sample various dishes.

Overall, I would come here again, particularly...

Everything was so amazing. My mother and I ordered here a few times, but recently we ordered the (BONELESS) Half&Half chicken (sesame soy + korean bbq), Fresh Garlic Fries , Homemade Strawberry Lemonade and Tteokbokki .

The presentation for everything was beautiful. I like to not just eat with my mouth but with my eyes too so the black + white sesame seed and green onion garnish was lovely.

For the chicken- my mom loved it! Fries - they were pretty good. they have a sweet glaze, maybe like honey butter or something but it's interesting. I like that they were still crunchy and not soggy at all. Tteokbokki- such a large portion. and the tteok was thicc. 😂 I enjoyed that it wasn't too spicy so even my mom could enjoy it, though personally I wouldn't mind it hotter 😉 Lemonade- was really good! not overwhelmingly sweet or sour. I love it came in a sealed cup, (the kind of cup that milktea comes in).

It is pricey, but you get what you paid for. The food is of good quality and made with love. Would love to see more family-owned businesses like this in the Bay. ♡

I am a pescatarian and wish there was like a vegetarian or shrimp option for the mandoo/dumplings and like a fried shrimp or fish alternative for the chicken. I really want to try those different flavors like honey butter, chillin' chili, korean bbq...

I was in the area and saw this place on yelp.

It is a small place...not seen well from the street...i came during covid. You walk in and they have everything taped off but a path to the register.

I looked at the menu...which is limited. I was trying to decide what to order.

The item I wanted to order was no longer on the menu...so i had to choose something else. I decided to try the super fries. The prices also increased to now 11.00.

Personally I don't think its worth the price...you get a bed of steak fries...that is topped with cheese sauce...then shredded cheese...a few shrimp..i had 3 total and some steak and green onion shavings.

The steak..i did not really like the flavor. The shrimp eaten by themselves were good...but i did not care for them on the fries. The cheese sauce was good and the fries were fresh and cooked perfectly.

For 11.00 it is something new to try..but I would not come here to order it again..Personally...the garlic fries by themselves I would have liked much more.

Dont let that keep you from trying this place..you may love it...I was just not too impressed ..i did not like the...
