This is more than a chicken story, this is a multiple layer of simple meets epicurean. The orange building on the corner of Linden and County stands out. Parking is kind of difficult, but do not lose the faith, park a couple of blocks away because the food is worth it. The door to get in was kind of wonky. Plus, it is awkward to get up into the building. If you are handicap or have trouble lifting yourself up, this place may be tricky, BUT the food is worth it. I was immediately greeted by the person taking orders. Really welcoming and really helpful with suggestions. I went the "O.G." route ordering the basic house items. I ordered a #1 corn dog filled with 100% beef hotdog. I picked ketchup. The outside of this corn dog was medium crisp fried. It came drizzled with ketchup. Rookie mistake as I should of asked it to be put on the side. Made for a fun but messy eating experience. The coating as I said was really well fried and the inside batter was fully coated...nothing wet or undercooked. The inside was sweet and fluffy. The stick even was well balanced allowing for easy eating. I tried the #1 Chicken Sandwich. I made this part of the order; a meal. The meal included a soda and an order of fries. I went for the Kimchi Fries. Sooooooo gooood. Yet, thr kimchi was spicy. The fries were outstanding covered in kimchi, but the winner of it all was the chicken sandwich. It was beyond good. The chicken patty was lightly fried and it tasted ever so "fresh"...you know gooood oil was used. The pickles were generous put on and allowed for many bites to include pickle chips. The housemade sauce was tangy sweet.
Did I mention how nice the staff were. They entertained me while I waited. ..waiting is worth it as the good was ssoooooo good. The staff told me their favorite dishes, things they traditional mix on the menu...overall just really great people. Some chicken bowl seemed to be the concensus favorite among the staff.
The kitchen took time and rushed for nothing. Every detail seemed to be accomplished. Everything done with high standards.
This will definitely be a repeat performance. I need to try the Boba tea.
Anyways the bill came to 19.20 for: A #1 Corndog, A #1 Chicken Sandwich, a can of soda, and order of the kimchi fries. The take out bag had napkins, cutlery, and extra sauce. Really great community service. The dining room is small. Place was...
Read moreOk so, first off the chicken was fantastic, I had some left over a few hours after I ordered it and it was still crunchy still juicy absolutely spot on. However the reason I lowered the rating was the service. I ordered online I ordered 3 choc chip cookies mind you it was about $10 for the cookies which I was fine with. I get home and it's matcha cookies no biggie I call them and I talk to them and they explain that they were out of the choc chip and didn't want to give me nothing in return. Fine, however my phone number is on the order, call and ask what I'd like to do. Anywho, they tell me as long as the cookies were not opened I could bring them in the following day and swap them out when their stock was replenished. So I come in with said unopened cookies the next day as instructed and was told they couldn't take them back because of hygiene reasons( I work in food so fair enough) and that I was unable to be refunded because it had been longer than 24 hours. I was going to get more food while I was there now that didn't happen and I will more than likely not return either. That was the wrong way to handle that situation especially when I was told to come back the next day. It really is a shame because their food was delicious 🫤. I doubt this will impact much but maybe this might help improve their service skills even...
Read moreWent on their 2nd day and it was complete madness, they only had 3-4 ppl working and had a line out the door from the minute they opened. It took about an hour and 30 mins to get 2 chicken sandwiches, a kimchi fries and 2 bobas but it did not matter because the food was hot n fresh and delicious! Korean fried chicken has a thin breading and elite crisp, they give you the option of dark or white meat on your sandwiches, nothing i ate was over fried or greasy and didnt feel like an overstuffed pig when the meal was done. The boba was good too, maybe not on par with BestTeas downtown but for the price and flavor, its certainly worth trying. And everything is priced great, was $30 for 2 sandwiches, 2 large bobas and a kimchi fry. The Kimchi Fries were amazing, I went back today around 2pm and was in and out in 10 mins so go after lunch but before dinner if you dont want a long wait. Grateful they powered thru with a small crew yesterday and did their absolute best to keep ppl happy despite the hysteria of it all haha! My one complaint is the pickles were underwhelming, not a big deal for a chicken place but i was expecting some top tier pickles on my sandwich but overall it wouldnt be a reason to...
