    Half Sweet Spicy-8pc
    Steven Z.

    It's pretty hard to find good KFC outside of Pelicana in Seattle, so I had to give this place a try. I got the sweet and spicy Korean Fried Chicken half item. When they say "half", they mean the entire half of the chicken. Some of the pieces are HUGE. I'm impressed that they somehow prepared those pieces to still be tender after frying! Quality - 4.5/5. Great flavor, decent crisp on the outside, tender enough on the inside. Not an overwhelming amount of sauce. Service - 3.5/5. Took 25 minutes for my order, and I was the only one in the shop. They must have made it from scratch. FYI - Sweet and Spicy is not spicy at all (coming from an Asian who lost his spice tolerance :P)

    My friend and I came here yesterday on our way to Baiten we were getting chicken to go as we knew would be eating our dessert first and bringing or chicken back to the office but we knew we would try a couple pieces for sure there while it was still hot. Took about 20 minutes and came out freshly fried which was nice compared to another Korean chicken place I had been to recently. We split the Whole Sweet & Spicy-16pc. We thought about getting two flavors but this was the most cost efficient. I snapped a few shots and dug in right away to eat a piece hot. My friend spent more time getting the right shots. The guy behind the counter was very sweet my guess is the owner he gave us some paper plates and a couple of complimentary bottles of water. Chicken was crispy and interior moist we liked the flavor better than another place we had tried in the neighborhood. It wasn't overly spicy. My friend asked to have them split into two boxes which they did. She also asked for the sauce on the side so it wouldn't lose it's crispiness by the time we got back the office but it was tossed in the sauce. They gave a way more generous amount of pickled daikon than other places which I appreciated. We would definitely return for the great chicken and customer service. So many KFC places popping up lately this is located above the QFC right next to Oink.

    Haven't tried the food but I called to make an order and he said they didn't do phone food orders, ok I get that but then he just hung up on me right after.. THIS WAS AT 1104. Ok cool. I'm hungry n had my mindset on this place so I go. It's inconveniently a small place. Oh cool, again. I place my order at 11:19 on their kiosk. As im waiting in their restaurant for my food, this man comes up to the man I spoke with on the phone.( I know it's him bc he is the only guy out of the 2 men there, that was rude. A Hispanic man and the Asian man. ) this customer comes up to the Asian saying "I asked you guys to refrigerate my water, can I pls get it back". The man dismisses him.. walks off and ignores him. After a few more attempts the customer is comes to me, with a French accent letting me know that the Asian man won't give him his water. I asked does it look like the rest of the water bottles?, he says no. Now I go up to Asian guy and he also tries to dismiss me. But yeah no not happening. Asian man says there is no water - I'm pointing to it then all of a sudden he sees it.. ok cool X3. He checks in with the Mexican cook if this is true- the cook agrees yes that is the French guys water. Like only if the Asian took his time with his customers.. this would've been a better experience. I'll update when my food comes. I got my food at 1140. No problem. They were sort of busy and there were only two workers there. Tbh the meat was juicy and I loved the coating on the chicken, however the sweet and spicy that I got was just ok. It was good but wasn't- really strange don't know how to describe it's like u want to keep eating but also don't.. service is a 1. Space is a 2. Food is a 5/10(2.5/5). Bringing this rate to a 1.8/5

    Half Sweet & Spicy-8pc and French Fries(Shoestring Battered)
    Sabrina C.

    I ordered the half sweet & spicy and the regular fries through Uber eats. There was a good ratio of sauce and the chicken was juicy. I liked the sauce a lot but it's more sweet than spicy so some more heat would've made it better. The portions are larger than expected and this fed me for 2 decently filling meals. I will say the fries were extremely oily which was evident from eating it and also the oil saturated box they came in. The food here doesn't deliver as well as other fried chicken places I've ordered from. The boxes they use have cut outs for ventilation but they didn't pop them out so my food was pretty soggy by the time they got to me, and even the boxes were literally wet from condensation.

    Radish with bug flavor

    I have had this place's fried chicken with radish quite frquently and that comes to a stop after today. I noticed that there was something inside the radish container that I don't think should be there. If you are not a big fan of bugs inside your food, I suggest you look for food elsewhere..

    The chicken was delicious. I'm addicted to Korean fried chicken and they did not disappoint. The original and sweet and spicy were both good but if I had to pick one it's the sweet and spicy. The rice cake appetizer was my favorite though I could eat this all say.

    Chicken Mayo Bowl
    Mags C.

    This is a new-ish spot on Cap Hill. It sits right above the QFC on Broadway. There's seating inside, and you can place your order and pay through a tablet-style screen that automatically sends your order to the kitchen. To start, we got the cheese corn and the fries. Both were great. The corn was so, so, so, SO tasty and cheesy, and the fries were crispy and fresh. For the entree, we got the pepper garlic boneless chicken and the chicken mayo bowl. The pepper garlic sauce was delicious, and the chicken was juicy on the inside and still crispy on the outside even though it was covered in sauce. The chicken mayo bowl was similarly good; we did wish we had an option to make it spicy, but it was still very flavorful and portioned well. Chicken Factory may not have many reviews yet since it opened recently, but I implore you to give this place a chance. It really is great.

    Always trying to find the best Korean Fried Chicken in Seattle and this is my new one! What makes this place standout is that the chicken stays extra crispy despite the large amounts of sauce on it. The Pepper Garlic flavor is my favorite; it is mostly sweet with a hint of spiciness to it. A definite must try if you love fried chicken !

    I only got the fries. I love beer battered shoe string fries but they weren't that at all. Tasted good, though! Thought I'd leave a review so people know what to expect

    Slimy, oily boneless wings.

    Sure, It's food, but good food, not even close. I ordered the boneless sweet and spicy wings. They arrived soggy, grayish in color and overall just an oily mess. Who knows how old this "chicken" is. Not a dish I would wish on anyone except the garbage bin. I'm still shocked at how bad these were.

    Macaroni and Cheese Bites
    Mary N.

    Super solid place for Korean fried chicken! My first time trying Chicken Factory was in Hawaii and I knew I had to try this local one when it opened. TLDR - The chicken is fireee. Perfect crispiness on the outside while juicy and tender on the inside. As it should be. I usually go for the creamy onion one but the sweet and spicy was definitely my favorite here. The mac and cheese balls could have been more crispy but I see the difficulty in retaining that crunch in a to go order. Otherwise, the flavor is solid and it's a great addition as a side. I also liked that they package the sauce on the side so you can add more or less per your liking. This was also great for leftover as coated chicken tends to get soggy. Small detail I really appreciated.

    This place has potential. The chicken is cooked to order, crispy, and the sauce has decent flavor. That said, it is completely lacking salt. The employee has a headphone in and pretty much ignores you - we had to shout to get his attention and he seemed confused why we were asking for salt. We watched another person come in, ask a question, be ignored, and walk out frustrated. I pointed it out to the employee and he just kind of shrugged. Improve the flavor and the service and this place would be really good. As it is I can't imagine it lasting long. One health concern: he seemed to be reusing a batter bowl for the wet batter for the chicken. This made me nervous as a potential hazard unless it is being washed regularly.

    Whole Chicken (sweet & spicy) -16pc Macaroni and Cheese Bites French Fries(shoestring battered)

    As a fellow South Korean American, it is so dope to see this new restaurant in Capital Hill. And it's always great to see fellow Koreans getting their business opportunity out here locally! That being said, I HAVE to give a fair and honest review. Since this is the first review on Yelp for this spot, I will break it down thoroughly. TLDR; you must eat here, it's amazing food at amazing value! - Speed: 8/10 I ordered the Mac&Cheese Balls, fries, and 16pc chicken (sweet and spicy). It took roughly 20 minutes for the food to be completed. I was the only customer in the store at the time. All of the food came out extremely fresh and handmade. A lot of small local spots will cut corners. I can tell these guys do not! So I appreciate the fact that freshly made cuisine was delivered in only 20 minutes. Considering I ordered a good amount and all of which have different cooking processes, I think the delivery was quick. - Quality/taste: 8/10 The food tasted great. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Nice, tender, and juicy with a great amount of crispness to compliment the textures. The chicken I got had some kind of weird cuts of meat. But the meat was all in tact, so I can't complain. The fries may have been the best basic French fries I've ever had for the price. At $5.99, I was surprised that they were so perfectly executed. The mac balls could have been crispier but tasted great. The Mac was still moist, and wasn't dried out even being deep fried. The sweet and spicy sauce was good, but lacked the spice I wanted. I couldn't taste spice. So that would be my main critique so far. But it was still a delicious sweet chili/garlic type of flavor! - Price: 8/10 For all of what I ordered, it cost about $40 before tax. The chicken pieces were large and had plenty of meat. Some places have pieces of chicken with less meat. This place doesn't. The Mac and cheese being only $5.99 as well, I got a good portion that could literally substitute a full meal, even though it's an appetizer. No way you can complain about that!! Finally, the fries. I got a whole big container filled to the brim. It's more fries proportionate to the price, than fast food. So basically it's better value than McDonalds and is also better quality; insane! Overall, it's an obvious 8/10 rating. If you're in the area or even anywhere closer to Seattle than Federal Way. You should be coming here for your Korean fried chicken needs! This place was amazing! Especially for a new place!

I went on a weekday evening and was able to walk in without a reservation and the host sat my party immediately. The space has an industrial vibe, minimal decorations and an open kitchen in the dining area with another kitchen hidden in the back. We started off with a gochujang margarita which had a little spice but the flavor of the gochujang got lost and I couldn't really distinguish it. The NY Tiki Time cocktail was a stunner, the flavors of the citrus, pandan and rum blended smoothly together. I had to take a photo when the drinks arrived. For the apps we ordered the yellowtail and octopus. The presentation really was remarkable and well plated. The yellowtail was in between layer of thinly cut turnip that had a lemon verbena component to it. It was shaped into a flower and placed on a plate in naengmyeon broth. The octopus was tender and in a delicious cream sauce with some roe as decoration. For the mains we got the squid fried rice with kimchi, bacon, smoked quail egg. We also ordered the branzino gui with seasonal vegetables. Both were well seasoned and tasty but I think I enjoyed our drinks and appetizers the most. The staff were slow and intentional with their service and no one seemed in a frantic hurry. The tone of the place was calm and none of our servers gave off an overly pretentious attitude (my biggest gripe with fine dining). Will most definitely come back as soon as possible and can't recommend enough.

    The food presentation was unique and beautiful and we ordered three dishes - beef tartare, the…read moreyellowtail and squid ink rice. The highlight for me was the beef tartare with nori. The yellowtail dish was lemony and the thiny sliced turnip was an art itself . My friend really liked the squid ink fried rice. The rice was made very well but personally I always find squid ink rice to be bland and a bit uninteresting, so the kimchi in the fried rice added some contrast. The restaurant was pretty empty on a weekend night. Service was ok. I love the glass and high ceiling.

The Seolleongtang was exactly what I wanted. It was super comforting, rich broth, tender beef, and perfect with rice. The Kalbijjim was the highlight though. The short rib was fall‑apart tender, and the sauce was thick, sweet, and really flavorful. Portions are huge, so definitely come hungry or plan for leftovers. Banchan were solid too. It was fresh, tasty, and a nice break from the heavier dishes. Service was friendly and quick once seated, but the place gets busy, so reservations help.

Parking: Around the restaurant has ample spots, however when my party visited, all 3 cars could not find a spots as all of them were taken. When I arrived, there were already a few cars just circling to try to get a spot if any patrons were leaving. Most other reviews didn't have issues with parking as I assumed they arrived earlier? Customer service: + friendly service and decent once you were able to flag them down - you have to almost flag them down for all/any services such as refilling water, checks, to-go boxes etc Food: 1) Spicy Squid Noodle * cold noodle dish with squid, white noodles and vegetables mixed with gochujang based sauce. Not particularly spicy or not. - imo the amount of squid for a near $20 noodle should have a little more.. 2) Daeho kabijjim + mild was good for the party as it's slightly sweet and not spicy with gochujang based sauce. Short rib was nice and tender with potatoes, onions and carrots. We chose to add noodles and cheese which they torch at the table to melt it on top. 3) Combination Suyuk + great umami and saltiness to the soup, very creamy and rich. + combination of tendon, brisket, short rib and (forget the 4th) as well as mushroom and spring onion makes it rich creamy and umami. Banchan was great, kimchi and radish are very likely homemade along with the other 3 banchans. But imo, their radish is old (overly fermented) while kimchi has a nice balance of spiciness, sweetness and tartness at first but a little sweet aftertaste. Lastly, if I'm not mistaken, I did not see any sign or note in the premise or on the menu indicating mandatory 20% tips for big party (even though I'm well aware it's normal but I believe businesses should be transparent). However when we were paying the bill, the server clearly indicated they included the 20% tips to our bill so that patrons do not "double tip" unless they wish to. So bottom line is they are quite honest on that but wished they are more transparent

I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes).

I have dined here before so the interiors isn't too different just small changes. Let's jump to the food- I ordered the galbitang and it came with 10 different banchan. Which is a nice surprise since some restaurants aren't as generous in the banchan. The galbitang was so flavorful for a "clear" soup and the meat was tender. It also included a good portion of meat. I've tried galbitang at other places, but there was an umami that many didn't have. All the banchan were flavorful too, I thought the kimchi had a good balance as sometimes it can be a bit on the saltier side. Service was great too, the sever was friendly and checked often. When I went, it was just me then a couple arrived. There was a delay with their order so she provided some mandu on the house while their order was being prepared. Once they received their order, I heard the couple tell the sever that everything was very good multiple times- their food did look good! I recommend checking this place out especially with the new ownership. Menu looks similar from previous owners, but will for sure go back and try something else!
