My son picked this spot to meet some friends. Glad he did. I never would have eaten here otherwise. This is a no frills place that doesn't look so good from the outside. It has a private lot and I am assuming it used to be some sort of a fast food Mexican place. The staff is very friendly. Not many tables. I got my order to go. Spicy Garlic tenders and fries. Very tasty. A little bit of kick but no too bad even though the menu shows 3 hot peppers for spice level. The fries are the crinkle cut kind so not fresh cut but still very good. I'd go back for sure. read more

92Chicken - GARLIC SPICY CHICKEN TENDERS - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

We were driving from Charleston to Charlotte and were passing through Columbia on a holiday so most places were closed. I saw that this place was open and coincidentally, I was craving Korean fried chicken. We ordered fried chicken of course - half honey garlic chicken and half of the yangnyeom flavor. We also got the cheese fries and corn dog. I loooooved everything! I wish I had the stomach capacity to order more chicken so I can try more flavors! read more

I ordered online while waiting for my daughter's dance class. I got onion rings and the chicken gangjeong which is boneless chicken and it has a sweet and savory sauce. It was a dollar extra ordering online and the man kindly explained it's due to service fees vs ordering in restaurant , which I completely understood. The chicken and onion rings were crunchy, fresh, very flavorful. I think I did get more of the crunchy bits of batter vs chicken but the chicken I did have was so juicy and tender. I really want to go back and try other things they have like corn dog and the bone in chicken. I've had their food at the Korean festival before so I know it's good. Definitely give it a try and the ahjussi there is so sweet. read more

Delicious chicken, my new obsession to try one of their variety of flavors whenever I travel to Columbia. Chicken is not greasy or fatty. Be careful with the spicy flavors, they are HOT! read more

6 or 7 years ago, I had my first Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) wings from Seoul Food Meat Market in Charlotte, NC. It was our gold standard for years. We've had KFC in different countries and different cities. Seoul Food has gone downhill lately, so no 5 star there. BUT we went to 92Chicken a few days ago. The wings were better than our first KFC at Seoul Food. I would call the food a 5+ stars at 92. (BTW, we had KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) in Beijing China. It was interesting.) read more

Having moved to Columbia from the Little Korea section of Annandale, VA I have been seeking quality Korean Fried Chicken. Several menus in Columbus now feature it as an app or sandwich, but 92Chicken is the real deal. The menu has all the options you'd expect, from Snow Chicken to Garlic Soy and spicy options. Lunch special is a great deal - I got three drumsticks, a huge portion of well seasoned fries, and a soda for 12 bucks. Prepared to order in about five minutes. Mostly a takeout place, though there are a few tables if you need a place to perch for lunch. read more

I am such a Korean chicken fan. I have gone here sooooo many times it's not funny. Check out their honey garlic wings! Service is always quick and the food is consistent. There is seating inside but most people get stuff to go. read more

92 Chicken did not disappoint. First time trying Korean fried chicken and we cannot wait to go back. Some of our flavors we enjoyed were the spicy garlic, honey garlic, original fried chicken and the yum yum came highly recommended. My partner enjoyed the pork dumplings and I thoroughly enjoyed the pickled radish and rice as sides. You have the option to order wings, tenders or chicken legs. Large portions The chicken was cooked to perfection, hot and fresh. The service was absolutely amazing. The servers explained the menu and made suggestions on food to try. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating and parking outside. read more

92Chicken - COMBO YANGNYEOM CHICKEN - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

We returned to 92 Chicken this past Sunday. It was very disappointing. I ordered the original crispy drum sticks and the soy garlic tenders. The food was not good. It was obvious that it was food from hours earlier thrown back in the fryer. My chicken was dark brown as if the oil was old. The chicken was dry. The tenders were ok, still kinda dry and not that saucy. We came in at 3pm. As I said, it seemed as if it was food from lunch that they just remade. Hopefully, that was a one off. read more

Delicious, fresh Korean fried chicken in Columbia! I wish this place got more foot traffic because the food is absolutely delicious. The cashier was friendly and worked fast. We ordered the soy garlic gizzards and it came out in about 10 minutes. The box was huge and came with plenty of gizzards to share. The flavor is spot-on, garlicky and savory with the perfect crunch from the batter and chew from the gizzard. The onion snow chicken looks great and I'll definitely be back to try it. They have the absolute best wings in town. Ditch BWW and Wing Stop and please give this local business a try. You definitely won't regret it! read more

No amount of time can make up for the simple experience that is known as 92 chicken. Simply delicious chicken, perfectly cooked white rice and wonderful customer service. To the point that the special that only runs on the weekends was honored. The only hit I would state is there was no sweet tea which Koreans are some of the best in the world at making. Water was good enough to quinch our thirst. Order the Soy Gralic next time you stop by, you wont be disappointed l. As for the ambiance it was quaint, small and simple. The K-Pop playing was to be expected and enjoyable. We will return next time we are in town read more

I've been looking for a good spot for Korean styled fried chicken since moving out here and came across 92Chicken on yelp and happy I did.

There was no one else inside which we didn't mind at all. We will definitely be back! read more

92Chicken - HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN Curly Fries (Large) White Rice (Steamed) - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Good evening, fellow Yelpers!! It's ya favorite critic again with an amazing find: 92 Chicken in Columbia, South Carolina. I was utilizing my go-to "Yelp" and this looked Ike the spot to try. These Korean ppl know something about fried chicken, lol. I was greeted like I mattered by the cashier. I didn't have an idea what I wanted, b/c the menu has too many flavor options to choose from; not saying it's a bad thing, lol. I went with the 14-piece wings with fries. I got 7 - Spicy Garlic & 7 red hot spicy!! The taste was out of this world. Chicken has a crispy crunch & the flavor takes you to paradise from there. It wasn't too many customers in the spot, and it just made my order come just that much faster. I liked the home-style feel you get from being there. Not too noisy, so I could pick which thoughts I wanted to dwell on... I would recommend this place to local or tourist, b/c its just that awesome. You can bet whenever I'm this way, I will be stopping by. Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself read more

The ROMEO lunch group (7 of us today) went here for our first time today. We arrived shortly after they opened and were the first for the day. The girl at the counter took all of our orders quickly. Since we'd not been here before, the owner recommended the Yangnyeom Chicken (said it was the most popular), so we had three orders of that with fries. One order of red hot pepper Chicken (3 hot peppers on the heat scale), 1 Honey Garlic, 1 Garlic Spicy and I ordered the Golden Cheese chicken with the Golden cheese dipping sauce. I must say, everyone liked their food and the ratings on the food varied from 4.0 (4 votes), 4.5 (2 votes) and a 5 (1 vote). We all had sodas for a drink and the weekly combo is with any chicken selection (7 pieces), fries plus a drink for 10.99. My Golden cheese sauce was an additional $2.50 (and worth it). The Red Hot Pepper chicken was HOT, but not so terribly hot that you couldn't eat it. In fact, Hot Freddie took half home to his wife to sample. Another nice touch was having a box of gloves on each table. The majority of the wings are wet, as they have various sauces. So the gloves came in handy as far as keeping your fingers dry. I prefer a dry rubbed wing, rather than wet, and when I asked if they any dry rubbed she said the had two types. The original and the Golden Cheese wings. She said the Golden Cheese were popular so I went with them. I'd order them again. It's not as if the wing itself was flavorful, but they were very crisp with a powdered yellow cheese or some flavoring on top of them..but when dipped in the sauce...that's what made them good. So I guess if we're grading by food only, I'd have to give 92Chicken a 4. The doors were open to the outside and we did have a fly (at least one) pestering us around our food. The only other issue is one of the guys went to the mens room and said it was not "the cleanest" and you needed a 40lb weight to keep the door shut. Bottom line....food is very good if you're looking for fried chicken. I'm sure we'd return. I'd order the same thing again. read more

While in the area, I wanted to try a cuisine I've never tried before. While looking through Yelp, I found this restaurant. I had honestly never heard of Korean Fried Chicken before, but being a fan of spicy food and also of chicken, I thought I'd give it a try. This place is located in a dilapidated part of town, and doesn't look like much from the outside, but those are usually the places which have the best food. They had a few flavors to choose from, so I asked them for their two spiciest flavors. I ordered a 6 pack of chicken drumstick, to which they said I could choose two flavors. Both flavors were delicious!! Id highly recommend coming here for some take out. The chicken was nice and moist on the inside, flavorful, and perfectly crispy on the exterior. read more

92Chicken - 6 pack of drumsticks - $14 - 3 pieces of red hot pepper and 3 pieces of garlic chili - Korean Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

It's a decent fast food chicken spot. Artery clogging goodness with super crispy chicken bathed in sauce. The hot spicy sauces are actually spicy. For me, the honey garlic drumsticks are best and drumsticks are more juicy than the tenders. The French fries were pretty boring but the curly fries were much better. read more

The food is great! All the workers are very nice and polite, and they also offer gloves for you to use when you eat. 10/10 would recommend.

We tried out 92 chicken for the first time last night and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for fancy, this isn't it. But the quality of this chicken is top notch. My husband got the soy garlic and the honey garlic wings and let me tell you, I would put that honey garlic on anything and eat it! So delish! The chicken was hot and fresh. I got the spicy garlic on the tenders and my lips were numb by the time I finished. So spicy and hurts so good! We will definitely be back! read more

I've been coming here for months and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming! Would recommend it to anyone in Columbia.

Heard the rave about this restaurant soo had to check it out while in the area.. The decor is basic nothing to fancy, I like that gloves are provided. The main problem was the wait which was close to 20 minutes. There were other people waiting well before me that hadn't received their orders. They also were out of some items but it didn't bother me too much . Cashier was nice however so that was a big plus!! Wings were very delicious! Would come again for sure. read more

Our first time trying this place because our friends and we're super excited that there was a Korean Fried chicken place in town! I have had many Korean fried chicken places in Los Angeles, CA. So it was so great to have one here locally in Columbia. We tried the spicy garlic chicken and it had a kick a good spicy kick! Super delicious. It was crunchy on the outside still with the sauce all over it. The sauce was a bit sticky, I do recommend eating it with a fork or plastic gloves. We ordered over the phone it was ready in 15 mins so not long of a wait at all which was not bad. The customer service was great too. There is a parking lot which is nice to have. So do not worry about parking. Can't wait to try the other flavors and items on the menu. We will definitely be back to try more! read more

This spot replaced Charlie's wings which was my go to for good wings so I decided to try them since they primarily only serve chicken. I got the lunch special which was 9.99 plus tax...it came with a side and drink. I got the honey garlic wings which were good and crispy 4/5. The sauce was pretty good. The chicken itself doesn't taste seasoned much but the food was fresh and the service was good. I only look forward to trying the numerous other flavors/sauces they have. Having more side items would make the meal more appealing but I would recommend! read more

I was so excited to finally have an opportunity to try this place! I will say it was delivered. I ordered the lemon chicken wings and French fries. I was a bit nervous because I wanted it to be good. Despite being delivered, the wings were really good! There was a crunch, and each bite had a delicious flavor that was quite pleasing. I had a hard time deciding between the soy garlic and lemon chicken, but I am glad I went with the lemon chicken! I'm definitely going to try another flavor and pickup instead of delivery. read more

I was super excited to hear that Columbia had a Korean fried chicken restaurant!!!! This establishment is located off of Decker Boulevard... There was a little wait but I noticed there were repeat customers which is always a great sign. The owner also was friendly and communicated that she would get to me soon. The restaurant was welcoming and clean with pretty decent parking. The menu has many flavor options. I got the soy garlic drumsticks, the original Korean drumsticks and sweet onion wings. The soy garlic drums were delicious with an amazing flavor, the original were nice and crispy slightly spicy, the sweet onion are basically original wing pieces with raw sweet onions and a sweet onion salad dressing. I will definitely be back bc there are so many other flavors to try! read more

This is a small restaurant that sells several varieties of Korean style fried chicken. They have good selection of sides and flavors to choose from. You can choose tenders, wings, or drumsticks, and they are all reasonably priced. There are some tables inside for indoor seating and gloves are provided(for eating the wings, since your hands may get sticky from the sauce). I ordered the Yangnyeom chicken wings with a side of rice. The wings were flavorful, extremely crispy, and tender. It was prepared in about 5-10 minutes which is very quick, yet they tasted warm and fresh. The rice was cooked well and went along nicely with the wings. They provided sliced green onions for certain flavors. Overall this is a great place to get authentic Korean Fried Chicken. Luv it read more

It was our third time. The chicken is absolutely delicious. The flavors are there. But the rice today smelled sour, browning and was obviously 2-3 days old. So disappointing. The fountain soda is 1.99 and every soda they had, had a funky taste to them. My side radish was frozen solid today too... Just wish they put more effort into serving fresh food. read more

Found this place from a food review posted on Instagram and had to come check them out. So many delicious flavors to choose from with great prices. Ended up trying the Original Korean Fried Chicken and the Honey Garlic. Amazing service and the cashier was patient in answering my questions and curating suggestions. The restaurant was nice and clean and the pictures for the food were great and representative of what you'd get. Overall the wings were scrumptious and I'll definitely come again to try some of the other flavors! read more

It was great the first time I tried this restaurant. The last time a week ago was not that great. I guess it depends on the cook.

Fiance picked up takeout from here for lunch, and it certainly met my expectations! We got the soy garlic wings, curry wings, and soy gizzards. Everything was hot, crispy, and well seasoned! Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try all the other flavors! I do wish the delivery function on their website worked though. read more

If you ever been to Korea, you ate "crack chicken"! Reason being is you just can't stop eating it every day. This tastes spot on from the flavor, the crunch and the heat (from the Yangnyeom chicken). I eat here 3 days a week trying a different flavor each time. Recommend eating in the store than taking it home. Right out the fryer tastes best. I would give 5 stars if only they served soju! Highly recommend. read more
