This place definitely has potential. We ordered a blooming onion and a Korean fried chicken along with a peach oolong bubble tea. The chicken was unfortunately soggy by the time it got home, I think due to the container trapping all the steam, but it was still very flavorful. I can see this being excellent fresh and perhaps they just need to rethink the containers they use for the fried chicken for take out. The drumsticks were very meaty and cooked well though! The blooming onion was a little undercooked with some raw coating in the center but it hits the blooming onion craving in the area. We made a spicy sauce at home to go with it and it was great. Without the sauce however I will say it was a little bland but worked well enough for our needs. Lastly we got a bubble tea that was really good but really sweet. I would definitely recommend dropping the sugar a level or two when you order. In terms of the service, they were very nice and very helpful with ordering, going so far as to make recommendations and allowing us to sample a topping before deciding. Overall I can see the potential and won't drop stars because it was also their soft opening and they are working things out. Speaking of which, just be prepared to wait a while for the food as they are making everything from scratch at the moment. Perhaps it is a concequence of too many items on the menu but it took about 55 minutes for our food when originally told 20-25, so just factor that in when you order until they find their groove. Overall we are looking forward to trying more of their menu and hope that they work through some of...
Read moreI've gone to this restaurant several times now, but I can't go one more day without singing their praises. The Korean chicken wings here are UNDEFEATED! I've ordered the Spicy Chili and the Korean Spicy and they never, ever slip! They clearly double fry to ensure the chicken is still crispy upon pickup and brilliantly ventilate the chicken in the box so the wings don't get soggy. It's such a simple thing, but makes a HUGE difference. Good people, there is no better place in the greater Boston area and burbs than this place for wings.
As if that weren't enough, today I ordered online for pickup at 8:30p (they close at 9p), but my movie got out late and I was 7 minutes away at 9:56. I called, and they kept the restaurant open for me for the extra 4 minutes (1 minute to run for the door) for me to get my order! The woman was SO sweet, I gave her an additional tip on top of my original tip because they deserve! Then, I opened my wing box in the car and found all flats, folks! ALL. FLATS. (No guarantees on that, but when it happens, it's like you got touched by an angel!) Bruh, I shed a real thug tear. We devoured them in the car, so there are no pics this time, unfortunately.
Also, they have bubble tea (I'm team taro, 30% sweet, less ice), and their boba is NEVER too hard. They have other Korean dishes that look good, but I tend to always go back for the chicken. The location is a little weird because it's not visible from the street, and you have to turn into a bit of an odd parking lot, but I promise it's all worth it. Get ye to wing heaven, good people....
Read moreMy husband visited during this business’ soft opening and brought some food and drink home. I was REALLY excited for this place, as it would be a boba + snack shop that is really close to home!
Placed an order for a milk tea with less sugar (80%) and tapioca and one order of chicken nuggets. The ordering experience was very chaotic, as there was a long line, perhaps more than the business was ready for. After waiting in line for 10 minutes, my husband was quoted an additional 15-20 minute wait time for his drink + snack to be ready.
The chicken nuggets were packed into a plastic-lidded container, which may have been an afterthought… as my chicken was soggy within minutes, with the hot steam trapped inside. The flavor was very bland and I ended up having to re-season the food at home. Even then, not very edible.
The boba tasted as if there was minimal sugar added, which was not what I had requested at 80% sugar. In addition, the tapioca was undercooked as the texture was a little too hard. This makes me question the shop’s ability to deliver consistency in the future.
Unfortunately, my experience left a lot more to be desired. However, I hope that this business will be able to work out the kinks for a successful grand opening. There...
