The hot spicy chicken was awesome. I had bb.q. chicken in Dusseldorf also, and I was very surprised to see it in Santa Clara. It's amazing.Edit: I ordered again, and I got the secret spicy whole chicken. It was also amazing
You've probably seen this chicken shop in many Korean Dramas like Crash Landing on You and Goblin... or maybe you saw BTS eating it! For whatever reason, I'm glad they came to the Bay Area. I have tried BBQ Chicken locations in Southern California and they were mediocre, but this Apple Park location exceeded my expectations!The chicken is incredibly juicy here!Very tender and crunchy on the outside.I ordered the Half & Half Whole Chicken for my boyfriend and I to share. It came with about 20 pieces for $32.99. A bit pricey. 10 secret spicy, and 10 golden original crispy. The secret spicy was very saucy, packed with garlic flavor, and had a nice sweetness to it. Not too spicy! The golden original was SO GOOD. A nice crunch and a light oil flavor. Very satisfying and tender. They also provide gloves for eating the chicken, which is very helpful.I'm docking off a star from my rating though because I did find two small black hairs on our chicken pieces.
Best Korean fried chicken I've ever had! I got the boneless secret spicy chicken. I always love the sweet and spicy flavor option at KFC places, and the secret spicy sauce definitely met my expectations. The chicken was probably the most tender of any KFC place that I've had. If I had to describe this place compared to other KFC places, I'd say it combines the thin coating, crispiness, and large chicken pieces of Bonchon KFC with the moist chicken and slightly more wet sauce of Left Wing KFC. I also tried the rose tteokbokki with cheese added, which was delicious as well. The sauce was really unique and not too creamy and also not too spicy. My only complaint about the tteokbokki was the lack of fish cakes. The rice cakes were plentiful but it definitely could have used some more fish cakes. However both the rice cakes and fish cakes were cooked to a perfect texture.
Came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. It wasn't crowded because it was 2 PM. I've heard of this brand before in Vegas, so I was glad they have a location in Norcal.Cleanliness was okay. The service is very friendly. The employees seemed like they were all friends from school. They also had other friends come in to hang out with them.We got an order of original flavor wings and also a hot spicy wings. for the price, I think it leans on the higher side. It's not as big as Bonchon or other chicken places. I was surprised at how spicy the hot spicy was! For a spice lover like me, it was perfect. The radishes were refreshing to accompany the spicy wings. However, if you're a mild spice eater, it might be too spicy for you. It makes me wonder how spicy the spiciest wings on their menu is!I'd love to come back to try the other flavors, but I wish we were able to do combos with other flavors besides the original and hot spicy. It's like 10 pieces of wings for a medium, so you can't mix and match or order a lot. I also wish the prices were displayed for the drinks.
Very juicy chicken with tasty sauces. Even the boneless chicken is really tender. Highly recommended!
This place currently has 4.0 rating and I dont understand this. This is the best k fried chicken u can get in the bay area. Somehow bonchon has higher rating and that’s absolutely insane.
Good selection of Korean fried chicken. I went with a group of 5 to this location and we enjoyed being able to sample more of the flavors. I liked the soy garlic and original, but thought the secret spicy could have been spicier. The sauces overall felt like they skewed a little on the sweeter side if you like that.Went in on a Friday around dinner time and it was a 60 minute wait for food if after you order so I suggest ordering ahead for pick up. No table service, but after you pick up your food, you could sit at some of the open tables indoors or outside to eat.In addition to the chicken we also ordered the kimchi fried rice and rose tteokbokki. I really liked the rose treokbokki which was a nice change from the traditional tteokbokki flavor (has cream in it).
Five stars for the rose tteokbokki alone! It’s a flavor bomb that I highly recommend with cheese. The rice cakes have a very unique texture—chewy yet soft. Portions were pretty small for that dish, especially with added cheese and given the price and the fact that nothing in the dish is particularly expensive. However, it’s pretty rare to find solid tteokbokki in the bay—especially rose flavored.The plain friend chicken was sadly pretty oily for my order (I had my order delivered). It was pretty soggy with oil and the oil had reached the chicken itself as well.I may give the chicken another shot but will mainly just go back for the tteokboki and to try other dishes.
Update (11/10/2021)I ordered online to pick up at the store. Again they got my order wrong. I ordered secret spicy, but I got the way spicy one. Too late for me to go back.When I ordered in person, it is fine. Online order, they got it wrong every time.———It is very good fried chicken. However, they mixed up the order. I was given a wrong order, however it was too late to go back.
Crispy, juicy and delicious. One of the best I’ve tried at Bay Area
