Best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Travelled from Scotland and knew had to eat here . Would highly recommend

Worth it!I got the Homies three-taco sampler and wondered what kind of place would put a fork in the bag for tacos...The kind of place that makes 'em big, that's who. It's definitely a meal. Extremely delicious and yeah you're either gonna need the fork or the pile of napkins also in the bag.It's only take-out, which makes it dog-friendly fortunately.

Love the Gangjung Fried Chicken. The portions are good and the sweet and spicy has that sensation where you need to keep eating.

Now this mom pop hole in the wall Korean Fried Chicken Joint would literally get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️But I will be honest I work until 8pm some nights (those are usually the ones where I don’t want to cook) so I order take-out.. Except two years ago this was never an issue with Aria it only just very recently became a problem. The restaurant hours of operation are 11:30am-9:40pm I worked in several restaurants through my life and still work in the service industry. For literally the TENTH time now, it’s a late night at work and Aria sounds amazing… then I get this result repeatedly… and I know I can’t be the only one.1. “They’re out of chicken” as if literally they do not have chicken to cook or just not willing to do the extra work to make more that meets the daily demand2. They never answer the phone. (When they’reOut of chicken) and it is within the business normal hours of operation.3. They take down the chicken entrees (which is its main hitter) off all online delivery provider sites but still remain “open”.I understand the lengths of closing down a back of house (kitchen) and so forth but literally if this happens on the daily which is now just becoming annoying and making me dislike this place when I honestly love it…. Someone needs to let the Seonsaengnim know what is going on so it can be corrected for the good of the business.

If you like chicken….this is the best place ever. I can’t even count on both my fingers and toes how many times I come here in a year. This place knows how to do what they do best. I crave Aria daily, and have to force myself not to order from here. I’m a big fan of their combo plates. And the best thing is, the left overs are just delicious. This place knows how to do KFC and I’m a bit Aria fan. 10/10 would recommend to check this place out!!

I love their gangjung fried chicken! Their fried chicken bowl is more than enough for me, and I usually end up saving half for breakfast the next day. I’ll fry the rice separately, and dice the chicken in. It’s so good the next day!The bowl comes with a fried egg and a fried dumpling. If I know I’m planning to save half the next day to make egg fried rice, I ask to get an extra dumpling instead.I’ve also had the gangjung fried chicken as a taco. It was a loaded taco, and delicious! I also had their dumplings fried with the spicy sauce. It was good, but I’d rather have their plain dumplings.There’s no indoor dining, and I’m not sure if you can eat at the small counter they have. I usually get my order to go. And I suggest ordering online. There have been times when I try to order at the restaurant, but then they ask to order off the app. I guess it helps keep their orders organized if there’s too many.

I ordered from here from seeing the reviews and the Korean fried chicken wasn’t made to order, I ordered and within 3 mins I got it. Safe to say it was definitely not Korean inspired (I’ve lived in Seoul), just unseasoned dry chicken. I rarely throw food away but it was a mess and I wasn’t going to force myself. Honestly, it’s not worth at all. Save your money.

This place charges $1.50 for a set of cutlery on door dash. Decided to choose another restaurant because of this. Will not patronize this restaurant unless they remove the charge for plastic cutlery. How am I supposed to eat my rice and over easy egg without cutlery? Another reviewer who mentioned they charge 25c for a cheap paper bag said they might start charging for napkins and cutlery, and looks like they are now. If I wanted to pay $1.50 for cutlery, I’ll get a 48 pack at the dollar tree instead.

Hands down the best Korean Fried Chicken I've had in a long time. The taste is phenomenal and the price can't be beat. My friends and I got the classic 10-piece and the gochujjang mixed 10-piece. The friend chickens were crispy on the outside and have a satisfying bite to it. The inside is really tender and moist. Hopefully they'll consider getting a New York location at some point.

Lightning fast, order is ready in less than 5 minutes! GFC rice bowl is great (pictured here) I wish the employees would take orders at the window though. The first time I went there the employee pointed to the QR code and walked away when I told her my phone can't scan QR codes.
