    Medium Combo with Soy Garlic
    Mark S.

    We've been here several times and have never been disappointed. Just a note, they are now named Chingu (the signage did not reflect the name change). They are the same as the Burnsville Center location and the Maplewood location that is still under construction (as of 12/6/25). The staff is very friendly and attentive which makes it a welcoming experience. We always go for the soy garlic sauce on the KFC, it is by far our favorite. The chicken is always good sized, juicy, and the sauce blends perfectly. Just an FYI, the wings are split into two pieces, the flat and the drummie. That will count as two pieces when calculating the piece count. We have not tried any other dishes because we love the chicken so much! You can't go wrong with Korean Fried Chicken!

    Sparkling clean restaurant with friendly service and excellent food at a reasonable price. We started with pot stickers, then moved on to fried rice, chicken katsu and bibimbap with bulgogi. We ordered pickled radish and kimchi on the side-- the first time we've ever been in a Korean restaurant that did not serve kimchi as part of the main course. Still, the quality and size of every portion was outstanding. Highly recommended.

    I ordered the chicken katsu, surprisingly price was pretty affordable - only $11.45 for plenty of protein. It was served with coleslaw on the side. Chicken was very delicious and crispy, although I do wish they added more katsu sauce, definitely make sure to ask for extra on the side. Service was amazing, staff are super friendly, and you can also order drinks from the connected bubble tea shop to your table! Overall, experience was pretty great, there's plenty of seating around and the vibe is relaxed.

    Amazing fried chicken. I was full and I wanted more! Soy garlic and hot were the flavors I ordered and they didn't disappoint. The food came out quickly and the person serving me was very kind and courteous. I will definitely be back despite my doctor telling me to steer clear of a lot of fried food

    Its been said that Korean fried "chikin" has a rich and fascinating history. Some say its roots can be traced back to the Korean War in the 1950s when American soldiers introduced fried chicken to the locals. How much truth to it? I don't know however this chikin is fire. I've ordered pick up however never sat in. The ambiance and staff seem welcoming and the décor is a modern feel with orange and white color scheme. Food/ Prices 4/5 I appreciate the combo style wing dings with two full dummies', that's a different offering you typically don't get in other chicken spots. I ordered the Combo $17.10 half and half plain/ spicy. The spicy was Spicy which is a hit or miss other places, its not MN nice spice. lbs. The other combo was $17.10 half/half spicy and Soy garlic- it was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. The fries were a bit greasy for my taste however they gave you a mountain of them. Reminds me of Five Guys- to the overflow. lol . Overall 4/5 Great spot, Chikin, and backstory!

    I have ordered take out from here but never dined in. Went here with a friend and we were greeted as soon as we walked in the door. It was not busy at all so we were asked to sit anywhere. Service was prompt and very friendly. I have gotten the fried chicken, which is excellent and have tried other things on the menu before so I decided to go with something different this time. Ended up getting the bibimbap with bulgogi which was very disappointing. Nothing like any other bibimbap I have had. It was mostly rice and the egg was already cooked like an Omelette and cut into strips. It didn't come with any sides so I had to order a side of kimchi. My friend got the chicken katsu and she really liked it. She also got an order of pork buns which she loved. I have had the pork buns before and they are delicious. Next time I'll be sticking with what I know is good from here.

    We went here on a lark for a quick lunchtime snack. The place was spotless, the staff was friendly and prompt. the food came out quickly. We ordered the pork steam buns, pickled radishes, and the Karaage. They were all super fresh and tasty. I will totally be back to try other offerings. They also had someone coming around offering the Mochi donuts from Te'Amo. Those things were amazing. this place is right next door. I ended buying a dozen, because I couldn't help myself. those are my new favorite sweets right now. If you are in the area, it is completely worth it to stop by and eat here.

    The soy garlic chicken wings. Great crunch and very tasty!
    Nicole N.

    Hadn't seen this place yet and decided to give it a try! There is plenty of parking in this area. When I walked in, I was greeted by 3 people right away! The menu is hung up on the wall but I found it hard to read with the lettering being so small. They have a ton of the menu just sitting on the counter :) I went with what they are so popular for... The chicken wings! I tried the soy garlic and it was pretty tasty! Great flavor, crispy and salty! It comes with coleslaw or pickled radish. I don't like either of those, so I can't say if they were good or not. I took my order to go, but this place did have seating. It was bright and modern! It would be a great place to bring friends or even a date! I'll definitely be back! Everyone was very nice!

    A great addition to the neighborhood as the area was lacking Korean fried chicken. It has your standard menu, I only wish they had more sauce options for the chicken. Overall the food was good, service was okay, and the interior is lacking but still a good casual place to eat.

    Foods okay but dine in service is horrible! 3rd time I've dined in and same horrible service. Servers barely speak English. The bulgogi dish does not taste like bulgogi and they put more onions than the beef. Not worth your $19. Only thing that known for that place that's is the chicken, which tastes good!

    Took my daughter to go try the wings. This place reminds me of bon chon. They have similar menu and sauce for the chicken. Wings are always good. Toppoki was good too, sauce wasn't too spicy. There were alot of people inside waiting for togo orders, I didn't know what line to stand in. The guy asked me if I wanted to dine in or pick up, I said eat here and he lead us to the table. Restaurant is new and clean, they have a big waiting area for togo orders. Big parking lot since the restaurant is located in shopping area.

    I'm really glad Korean food became more popular after the Korean Olympics! It is nice not having to drive 30 miles to enjoy.

    Ready for some delicious chicken and fried rice :)
    David P.

    Was a takeout order and was very good. Definitely on par with other Korean fried chicken I have had. They were prompt and let me know exactly how long my order would take. A good experience and good food. Looks are very basic and was nice and clean.

    Nice seating and no pretense.

    King's Restaurant (Korean) in Fridley, MN is delicious! We ordered Naeng-Myeon buckwheat noodle…read moresoup, which is served cold and only available in the summer. The buckwheat noodles are very chewy and served with pickled white radish slices and julienned cucumbers, half of a hard boiled egg, and 2 thin slices of beef brisket. Note: the Korean buckwheat noodles in this soup are slight translucent and chewy, and not the same type as the Japanese buckwheat noodles, which are not as chewy. The noodle soup is accompanied by 2 bottles sauces: hot/spicy yellow mustard and vinegar to add per your desired spice and sour level. The soup was light, slightly seasoned with a hint of sour and savoriness. We also ordered the jap chae glass noodle stir-fry which was delicious, but it was lacking in beef and a bit too oily. It had a few slices of red bell pepper, yellow onions, and green onion /scallions. The glass noodles are made from sweet potatoes and are chewy in texture, but not as chewy as the buckwheat noodles. The galbitang short beef rib soup (#26) is a light soup served hot (not spicy) with a few pieces of beef short ribs, glass noodles, white radish, and egg drop. King's Restaurant has reduced their portion of glass noodles in recent years and it's lacking substance to fill the tummy, especially with an increased price of $21.95. They do give a small bowl of white rice and 4-5 types of banchan (side dishes, like Kimchi, blanched bean sprouts, fish cake, kimchi cucumbers, blanched broccoli). Service is on the most part friendly and semi-attentive, depending on the server and if they're busy. King's is recently (2026) charging for their buckwheat Korean tea, which was previous complimentary. Ambiance is casual with booths and tables. They can host larger parties, up to 8 or so people, but it's best to call ahead to check. Free parking is plentiful, but it can get filled on the side lot nearest to the restaurant when it's busy. There's another larger parking lot adjacent to the restaurant that is never completely filled so parking should not be an issue. Would I go again-maybe. Their increased prices and smaller portions (jap chae with almost no beef and noodle dishes with a small portion of glass noodles), it's starting to give me pause, especially when I have other choices of Korean restaurants in the Twin Cities. King's is by far the most expensive Korean restaurant in the Twin Cities and their portion sizes are shrinking to where the value is lacking, especially if you're really hungry.

    I came here for lunch on a weekday. I ordered a Japchae, taste amazing. The banchan that were…read morebrought out were delicious. The service was OK. The waiter seems a little judgemental when I requested that there would be no bell peppers in my Japchae. (Sorry, personal preference; don't like the taste or smell.) The tone felt a little judgy when he said, "just meat and noodles?" While I was eating, it wasn't checked on. (Maybe it is because I'm Asian?) Otherwise, it was good. I got to fulfill my Japchae needs with some banchan!

One section is a traditional Korean BBQ and you cook your own food. The other section is where you can place orders and they cook the food for you. The Korean BBQ side was pretty packed. Dong Hae 2 is located in a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking. We ordered the AYCE which consists of Korean BBQ and Sushi. The cost was $45/person. They give you order sheets and you fill them out for each order. For the Sushi, we concentrated on the Salmon, Yellowtail, Escolar Sashimi (which you can order 4 at a time). For nigiri , we tried our standard Yellowtail, Salmon, Eel, Escolar. The sashimi was pretty good and the size of the pieces was generous. The sushi was okay. A little too much rice for our taste. For the Korean BBQ, we got the Kalbi, Brisket, Pork Belly, and New York Steak (1 per person). Each portion was a generous size and should be taken into account when managing your portions. The mood was very pleasant and everybody seemed to be enjoying their meals. The servers were also all very attentive.
