I ordered 10 pieces of honey garlic Korean fried chicken. I do not believe I can call this Korean fried chicken (KFC). They are more like American chicken wings with Korean inspired sauce. First, the batter crust is not crunchy. A typical KFC should maintain light crunchy outer coat even after a sauce has been covered. Second, meat should be tender and moist. Here, meat was moist but was a little on a chewy side. It wasnt bad but not to a standard level of expectation from KFC. Third, Honey garlic sauce was on a little watery side. It should be a bit thick and sticky but still should be light and not overpowering the taste of chicken. One good thing is that the pickled radish was really good; crunchy, clean refreshing to complement the taste of chicken between bites. In Hampton Roads area, I would recommend Choice restaurant near Trader Joes. A negative on Choice is that they recently been charging $0.50 on a side of pickled radish. it should be free with an order of chicken. Not very Korean way in service; to charge something that is...
Read moreSorry to say this was a total bust. Do not recommend. We got the half and half wings - spicy garlic & og korean, bulgogi, spam misubi, triangle kimbap. Best of the bunch was the misubi and kimbap - which isn't saying much tbh. My wife loves food... Especially Asian, bc she's Asian (if that adds any credibility to this review for you). She didn't finish any of it. We're so sad bc we wanted to love it, but we could not. Spam misubi was something good enough that I want to try it again somewhere better. Perhaps it was an off night? Maybe it was bc we door dashed... I dunno, it was bad though. Also, I usually only leave reviews when it's good. This was so disappointing that I decided maybe I would save someone the trouble and cash. Photo is of what we didn't finish bulgogi and...
Read moreA hidden gem for authentic Korean food and culture, and Korean chicken. A combination of a very clean and well organized convenience store and takeout Korean food, the combination of ski masks for sale, along with incense, with a kitchen behind a curtain gives you that invigorating feeling of “Oh I may get held up!” It’s worth it though when you walk out unharmed with some of the best Korean food you’ve had in a long time. Seriously though, friendly staff, and super clean. I’ll be back for the homemade kimchi, bulgogi, and other Korean chicken dishes, but for now I am satisfied with the goodness of the Korean chicken wings and white radish. I’m sure the American food options are just as good, but wow, the Korean food is spot on. The history lesson by the proprietor...
