Stark's Hot Chicken — Restaurant in Los Angeles

You're saying I can get both korean fried chicken and hot chicken cravings satisfied all at one place?! Yes, there's a place in K-TOWN called Stark's Hot Chicken that I've seen all my foodie friends in Nor Cal rave about. Highly recommend to check this place out when you're in K-town!

|| L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Located along S. Vermont Ave. You will enter the plaza before passing W. 2nd St. -Next to Pho Legend -Luckily there is a private parking lot so no street parking is needed, but it does get pretty packed. I was pretty lucky and found a spot as someone was leaving

|| F O O D || [Combo #3] 1 Chicken Sandwich + 1 Tender w/Fries ($13.99) - I usually go for Medium spice level, but something just told me I should opt for Mild, and thank goodness I did. Their mild spice level was just about the right spice level for me. Eat this right away when it comes out, because it is amazingly juicy. I love how the fries are seasoned too, so much flavor in one combo.

Sloppy Cheetos Fries ($9.99) - Don't wait too long to eat these fries because the hot cheetos on top will soften. So delicious with the cheese sauce.

Korean Sweet Popcorn Chicken ($12.99) - One look at this and it reminds me of the korean fried chicken that I got at the street stalls in Seoul, Korea. This was definitely my favorite item ordered. It's sweet and savory at the same time, and it's perfectly crisp on the outside and juicy in the inside. I would highly recommend this to go along with your...

🍴What I Ordered: Sloppy Bacon Fries, #4 Waffle Sando with Fries, Korean Sweet Popcorn Chicken

Stark’s Hot Chicken specializes in hot chicken sandwiches, specialty fries, and popcorn chicken. You can also choose your heat level from non spicy all the way up to Stark Hot. Personally, I can’t handle spice but I was really pleasantly surprised that the food tasted so good even without adding heat.

About the Food: There is so much to love about Stark’s Hot Chicken. For starters, who doesn’t love some good ol’ loaded fries. These fries were seasoned and come covered in their sauce, cheese, and bacon bits. They even had bits of fried chicken as well. I definitely recommend getting an order to share! I’ve been obsessed with waffle sandwiches since I was in high school. I just love the concept of using waffles as buns so when I saw this on the menu, I knew I had to get it! The waffles were fluffy and slightly sweet, even dusted with powdered sugar on top. Between the waffle buns was nice, juicy fried chicken, coleslaw, and pickles. This is perfect for those who like something a bit sweet, a bit savory, and even a bit spicy if you like! For me, this was for sure a winner! Finally the popcorn chicken. Perfectly fried pieces of chicken covered in sweet chili sauce. If you like Korean fried chicken, you will definitely like this dish!

Overall: 3.4/5 (Ubereats delivery)

Fries ($4.99): My brother was craving waffle fries and on Ubereats it says that waffle fries are back due to popular demand but guess what? We ended up getting regular fries instead which were alright. They weren't very crispy and we're more on the starchy side.

Extra Sauce ($0.59 each): We got the comeback & Korean Sweet sauces. Both were good sauces and honestly didn't taste too different from each other since they have a creamy base. The sauces were great for dipping our fries in.

Combo #1 ($17.99): This combo comes with 2 sandos and waffle fries. We did not get waffle fries and got regular fries instead. For the sandos, we got mild and medium heat which did not taste that different either in terms of spicy level. Both were pretty mild. The sando was okay with the mild Sando being better because it has more flavor from the coleslaw and sauce.

Popcorn Chicken - Korean Sweet ($16.99): I've noticed that many Korean restaurants make their popcorn chicken the same and even have the same sweet Korean sauce. For Stark's Hot Chicken, their popcorn chicken's crispiness is on par but the flavor isn't quite there yet. However, they do give more chicken than other places like Dogs Chicks and reduce their rice cake amount to literally...
