Best fried chicken ever! The combination of flavors with the fresh fruit and veggies are amazing! The place is small but is very well organized. Every table has utensils, gloves and everything you need to eat. The director, the owner, he's running the place all by himself and still the service was fast and excellent. The director's cut edition plate is huge, enough for 4 people. Will come back soon!

Absolutely incredible! Director Gol Tong runs the whole show and is a flavor genius, mixing in fruits and vegetables that went perfectly with the chicken. It only took him several minutes to get the food out, and the chicken was crispy and warm. The whole chicken is about $30 (I split between two flavors), but it was a lot of food and well worth the price; I walked in famished and walked out full. The service was also great, he was very busy in the back so it took a minute to get seated but he was super friendly. A must-try if you're anywhere close!

This is a simple menu with magnificent, tasty and artistic Fried chicken. Well worth the trip. We had plain and directors cut. Highly recommend this friendly location [actually on western about half a mile away from this listing

This chicken was sublime. Crispy and tender with barely any resistance as we ripped it apart with our hands (plastic gloves provided!). The avocado and strawberry were unexpected but perfect and that honey mustard yellow sauce? Idk what he put in it but it's so addicting I was dipping the original flavor chicken in there just to taste some more.

The best chicken fry I ever tried! My sister came for Peru and was impressed for the owner story and the pictures. We're satisfied with everything

Saw this place in youtube and decided to check it out.For a relatively small space it had a decent amount of tables and chairs.The interior was interesting and vibrant. It had a number of huge TVs all around with Korean shows on it.The chicken like the place is quite unique and intrresting. It has a variety of fruits as toppings. The portions are really huge! The plate was surprisingly really big.The place has a limited menu. It is basically all about the chicken which are Crispy, soy sauce, spicy flavors. I got the Director's cut. The portions were more than enough and the flavors were really good. Loved the Soy ChickenThe chicken is only cooked when you order. They taste mostly identical to other Korean Fried Chicken but they have different dipping sauces. I would suggest coming here as a group because of the amount of chicken served is really big.Don't forget that they provide gloves to use when eating chicken.I think the person who cooks is also the owner. He was friendly but not that chatty.The price in this place is a bit high but the fried chicken is pretty good and unique with absurdly big portions.Parking is hit or miss as this is located in Koreatown.

I'm impressed by the fact that one guy runs the entire place. I came to pick up and I watched him as he put my order piece by piece with care. The chicken was absolutely delicious and the presentation was great. I love the fact that he packages it Infront of you too and that it overflows to point he has but tape to shut it! What a guy, what a box of chicken. Would recommend! Go as early as possible to avoid the crowds and get your order in a timely matter.

Beautifully presented and beautifully cooked. This is five star Korean fried chicken. We got it to go because we were full from lunch, and even cold later, it was great. Highly highly recommended. The portions are very generous. There were avocado slices, red bell peppers, jalapeno slices, strawberries and blueberries mixed in with the chicken. I love it.

The best tasting food around! Loved every bite. Will definitely be back soon. Great, friendly service. This is what was left after 5 people ate!

Ordered the half chili and half soy garlic. The portion was enough to feed 2-3 people. Both had excellent flavor. The chicken was lightly breaded and sauced perfectly. We really enjoyed the dipping sauces and the fresh produce on the chicken.The establishment itself was quite interesting with TV's playing K-pop music videos and related decor. There were a handful of tables in the restaurant and clean restrooms.The place seems to be run by a sole proprietor who does a great job keeping up with the volume of patrons. We would definitely consider coming back if in the area.Note: Parking is a disaster, like it is anywhere in the area. Make sure to bring a few bucks cash for on-site valet to save yourself some headache.
