If you are in the neighborhood looking for to-go, and like chicken karaage, don't mind some grease, you might like this place. Or check out the rice dishes or Thai iced tea machine.

The quality of chicken is no worse than most places around here, and since Bonchon chain has gone down the drain, this may be the slightly better option (at R&R you don't get soy garlic or gochujang, you get toasted rice nori? Or sweet chili sauce on the side).

Several years ago, this place used to be a chicken place with a different name (Tony?we don't recall). Now it's got a spiffy looking sign and clean cut look.

We didn't want rice, so we ordered the chicken a la carte option with a mix of wing, thighs, drumsticks, which tasted like bone-in chicken karaage and also tried the popcorn chicken, which was exactly like the taiwanese fried chicken at those bubble tea places, right down to the two skewers.

The bone in fried chicken smelled like your typical fresh fried chicken, overall tasted fresh, but was very greasy, oily. They do give you fresh lime wedges that cut the grease a bit.

The fat, particularly in the chicken wings is 80% rendered, which given that NO place around here we have tried has yet to render properly (why?why?) we either fry ourselves and smell the lingering chickeny odor for days in our rental apartment while working from home, or just settle for mostly rendered, and spit out pieces of rendered fat. (Yes, truly we have sunk to a new low)

The popcorn chicken was less greasy, but like other taiwanese fried chicken places, pieces were rather rubbery, fatty, and mostly fried batter pieces (Some people love this). We got a mixed batch, some were pale, powdery, some were dark brown/black in color.

They package your chicken in vented eco-friendly containers. Not closing the lids keeps chicken crispy. The plastic bag accumulate lots of moisture, but guessing paper bags might leave grease spots in your car.

They are generous with the deep fried Thai basil, but maybe it's the season? There was no aroma or taste (normally you can smell the sharp herbal note of Thai basil).

Service is friendly, but store procedure could be improved. Once you place your order on one of the two kiosks, an estimated wait time/txt msg when order is ready would be nice.

As it was, we waited outside, (there isn't really a waiting area or seating inside) hovering at the entryway, making sure we didn't miss our name being called from inside the store, while not blocking potential customers from entering.

Good to know: if you order a rice dish, they do carry the worst quality splintery chopsticks that a lot of silicon valley restaurants use (i am on a mission to eliminate these splintery cheapo chopsticks from restaurants everywhere! Saving one tender mouth at a time!)
