Walked in and sat down at the bar after getting a haircut. Server teased me and "Said wow, you're really cool" under his breath sarcastically probably because I was rocking the Tom Higgenson look; my new fresh military cut, generic blank white shirt and blue jeans. Everyone I talked to later thought I looked sharp. Maybe he thought I was a cop because of the style even though I am unaffiliated with law enforcement and the military. He didn't treat me respectfully the rest of my time eating dinner there, and continued to mock me, and despite being one of the two people at the bar wouldn't respond to a hail for attention, for the other person either. The interior is very small. I left no tip because of the service. The food itself was standard spicy chickenI would recommend a different maybe a Chinese place instead because the staff would be much more kind and attentive. This was the only time I've been in there. I had takeout food from here given to me be by my friend during a football game so I thought it would be really good to try in person. I don't really think I will ever return because almost every restaurant around here serves chicken and beer, some are cheaper, better, and have staff that actually smile, talk, and care for their clients such as Bonchon.Final Line: Food is good, staff need medication or at least more rest, need to be more attentive and respectful. Lacking in ethics, with a one sided sense of humor picking on the client. I regret going there and should of just stopped at Giant which is only a few stores away instead of buying overpriced garbage from people who don't care.I was going through a loss of a family member on the day when this occurred so it just made the day that much worse.

Stopped in last night thinking a Friday might be too crowded to get a table. The staff was incredibly accommodating and the service was great, and we appreciated that they didn't rush people to finish up and get out the door. We got medium orders of the boneless chicken (golden olive and secret spice) and kimchi coleslaw, both were delicious and the portions are generous. The stand out for me was the soy garlic ddeok skewers: chewy, crispy, and super garlicky! This was the perfect pick for a casual dinner.

Some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. All the side dishes were fire. Shout out to my man Brendon, he made us feel like VIP and and recommended the best items on the menu. If you come here, you going to get treated right.

Best chicken in town!! You will not be disappointed!!

Not what it used to be from 10 years ago. I tried to be loyal. I gave it 2-3 more chances. I thought, ‘maybe they have different shifts for the cooks throughout the weeks and at certain time frames?’In the name of science, I committed to ordering a ridiculous amount of the same food items with the cadence of a week within a month, which was a total of 3 orders/delivery.For this shop to win back my heart, it needed to pass my self-moderated usability test. A baseline of what constitutes pass/fail was created. For the control(something to compare it to), I used my last memory of when I thought the food was excellent and how it would compare to Popeyes.Menu’s items in question were1: Hot garlic chicken.2. Original olive oil chicken.3: Dduk Bbuk Gee(spicy rice cake),4: Cajun chicken thigh5: French friesPass/Fail scenarios:• The food's preparedness, freshness, and presentation meet or exceed acceptable standards.• There is a good balance in flavor, texture, moisture in the chicken.• Korean dishes tasted authentic• The value and overall experience are justified costs of the food.• I would come back or order from them againFindings/Results1: Hot garlic chicken—FAIL 3/3. Inedible...All came out wet, soggy, and soupy. For the curious—this dish should come out sticky and crispy. I was mostly disappointed with this and the Korean word.2. Original olive oil chicken. — FAIL 3/3. Although this turned out to be crispy on all occasions, they fried it to living hell, which sucked the life(moisture) out of it. The meat was tough, dry, and difficult to finish. They somehow managed to dry up the thigh meat.3: Dduk Bbuk Gee(spicy rice cake), —FAIL 3/3. I am refraining from expressing just how perplexed and dissatisfied I was. This is a simple dish to make. All three orders resulted in an overcooked, watered-down void of all flavor mush.4: Cajun chicken thigh—FAIL 3/3. I did not want to order this after the 1st time. The menu describes it as a big tasty thigh, marinated in special Cajun Spices….haha. No. They take what looks like a largely chicken finger, then drenched in a mix of spiced bbq sauce. Garbage5: French fries - PASS 2/3 — it was good.Final TakeawayNope. Never again.

Very good wings of fire and the secret sauce excellent wings

Amazing flavors. Went in hoping for something close to the fried chicken in Seoul and have found the spot!

Best fried chicken in Centreville or NoVA for that matter... Been my favorite spot in the area for about 8 years now & still going strong!Love the classic sweet spice sauce and BB wings! Found a new favorite in the spicy galbi (available in boneless only).They do fry the chicken in olive oil which is considered "healthier" than most oils.A bit pricey, but not too bad and most definitely worth it. Man though, the real price you pay comes the following day...

Just simply top tier chicken and beer here. You come into the place and not only do they treat you like family but they give a style of fried chicken that reminds me of my families cookouts. I highly recommend this place and whenever anyone visits me I ensure that we have at least one chicken and beer run at minimum!

This place is one of the best chicken places in the area. This place has consistently been good. I appreciate the fact that they use clean olive oil to fry their chicken and I can tell. If I want some good chicken then I come here. Also, I got plenty of raddish with my order so no complaints there. Their chicken has a clean taste and no bad stench and no oily after taste compared to some other places.
