My friends and I love coming to Crisp whenever we're in the mood for Korean style wings. What's great about crisp is that they offer the whole wings, which to me in the best deal if you have a large group. They offer take out as well, making a large order so easy to do. We ordered the 10 whole wings with the two most popular sauces. We also got the Seoul steak bowl and fried mushrooms. Portion sizes are huge and everything was tasty! Service was also super quick. Stop going to the Korean chicken chains and visit this awesome small business! read more

Fire. The Seoul sassy drumsticks were large and tasted better than other soy garlic wings I've had. They gave extra drums for the 5-piece order and it sounds like a thing they do judging from other reviews. I solo dined and had a casual food experience which was exactly what I wanted after playing tennis. read more

*Delivery* Order delivery close to closing time and the Food was delivered on time, fresh, and hot! - The fries stayed really crispy and not greasy at all. They kind of reminded me of McDonald's fries - Bulgogi was a large portion over rice - the half chicken was crispy and tons of sauce and the Buffalo spicy was SPICY! - the extra drumsticks were huge! read more

Honestly chicken was just ok. I have had better lorean fried chicken. Sauce wasn't anything special. The tenders had the seoul sassy and the bites had crisp bbq. Good to try once but have definitely had better fried chicken. read more

The Korean fried chicken here is pretty good. The wings are jumbo size and eating 3 of them was pretty filling. Texture of the skin is perfect and crisp, and the sauce and flavoring were so good. They make it hot and fresh. Highly recommend. Seating is limited and it's not a huge space. Each table has a roll of paper towels which is much needed. There's also different kinds of sauces that you can try for your sides. I tried the sauces with the fried mushrooms. read more

Randomly stumble upon this place since a different place we wanted to go to had a huge wait. We got the ten piece wings for 25 and then an extra 5 for the fries. After tax and tip, everything came out to be 38$. The wings were a lot bigger than I expected since I thought it was just the wings but it was the entire wing. Really liked their soy garlic sauce and their crisp bbq is just a standard gochujang sauce though. They did have their own atomic sauce which I tried with the fried which wasn't bad either. Overall, a good experience and definitely a vibe. read more

I absolutely love pizza by the slice spots but how about chicken by the piece? Even better. A cook casual diner located in the heart of Lincoln Square. It's small inside but fits the idea of just a place to get a bite with quick and easy counter service. I got two drumsticks. One with their famous Soul Sassy sauce and the other dredged in their spicy BBQ. I'll be honest, their sauces didn't wow me but the quality and crispness of the chicken did. And that's what counts. PERFECT CRISPINESS (so what a fitting name.) the crispiness was a 10/10 but the chicken wasn't greasy at all which made it even better. Yep Crisp is on my radar now. read more

They claim to have the best fried chicken in Chicago. Yes, it's worth the hype! We walked over after a show at the Vic Theater (about 10min walk) for dinner this weekend. Wow! So good and so much food. The bowls and chicken breast sandwiches are huge. My wife and I both had the Bad Boy Buddha bowl and added beef. So good and can't wait to have a second dinner with all the leftovers. Our daughter had a single chicken breast sandwiches and could barely eat half of it. Good and BIG! Our son loved his Chi-Town chicken bowl. We didn't need chicken legs, but of course we had to try some. We also added an order of 5 drumsticks with a mix of their sassy and BBQ sauces. Seriously good fried chicken! We'll definitely come back in future trips into the city. read more

I can confidently say these were the BEST chicken wings I've ever had in my life!!!!! I got the sassy and the bbq flavors. A 10 piece contained 10 entire wings!! Kimchi was also delicious and a huge portion size. The service was super friendly and fast. Inside is small but we had no problem getting seating on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. $38 for the wings, kimchi, & 2 drinks with tip! read more

Went here for the first time this weekend and I would not hesitate to come back if I'm in the area. The service was quick and friendly and we did not have to wait at all for our food. I ordered the Little Buddha Bowl with Fried Chicken Sassy and it was so good but so much food. My sister ordered the Extra Hot Wings and French Fries; she really enjoyed both and I can say I would absolutely order the fries again they were really tasty. It wasn't too crowded considering it was Saturday early lunch and we were able to sit and eat. Bathrooms were clean too. read more

One of my favorite places for Korean chicken wings. Sadly they don't deliver where i live but always a good excuse for a bike ride to get some take out. Definitely get the sassy sauce and bone in large Korean chicken wings. Great service and amazing staff. read more

I came here years ago and decided to come back to give them another try cause my friend would not stop talking about them. We did 3 chicken wings, half chicken with buffalo sauce, and half chicken just plain. I thought the plain chicken was overcooked/dry. I usually like to judge a place on the juiciness of the chicken after it is fried because the sauce is just tossed in after the chicken is fully cooked. I thought the chicken wings sauce was too sweet. The buffalo sauce smelled really good before we tried it then I got really disappointed. It wasn't spicy at all and it smelled way better than it tasted. Overall, I don't think this place has improved since my first visit and I don't think I will come back. I think their sauces are just on the sweeter side and I'm personally not a huge fan of it. read more

You know the food is good when you don't have time to take pictures. I have to say I am truly impressed with this restaurant. The hype does live up to the name. Me and my girlfriend recently stopped with some friends. We ordered the soy garlic (Sassy), and the bbq (Korean bbq) . The crispiness of these wings were pure perfection. They are a little sticky so be ready for messy fingers. But that's the best part. We also purchased the rice to accommodate the meal and it did just that lol. If you are interested in going, you should stop reading and go right now. read more

Crisp is my favorite place for fried chicken in Chicago! As the name suggests, their fry is just right! I've tried many establishments throughout the city for that crunch, that crisp, and juicy chicken. I've tried both their wings and jumbo drumsticks. DEFINITELY GET THE DRUMSTICKS. Crisp definitely delivers. I will always pay a visit when in the area. Pro tip, order the original with sauce on the side. You can even go without sauce in your order, as the communal tables already provides free gochujjang and ketchup. read more

BYOB! Cozy restaurant with communal tables. Very busy on a Friday night at 7:30pm but I was still able to find seats for two. There seemed to be a lot of to-go orders. Food came out fast and the customer service was friendly and quick. Definitely took advantage of their BYOB to have my chicken with beer! I thought the half chicken was the best deal for $11.99. I got a lot of chicken. The BBQ spicy was spicy but still sweet and delicious. My friend got the crispy chicken bowl. That was even more food. Both of these meals could have been shared. read more

Outstanding chicken breaded to perfection and crisp just like the name. Service is 11/10, amazing people with great service. Couldn't recommend this place enough!!! read more

Crisp never disappoints. I ordered the whole wings and they were super crunchy and packed with flavor. I went with the spiciest option and honestly, it wasn't too bad -- great heat without overpowering the taste. The vibe inside is chill and laid-back, perfect spot to hang with friends. Only downside is parking on Broadway can be tough, but the food definitely makes it worth it. read more

I've gone to Crisp many times and the wings hit every time. The wings and drumsticks are also huge so it's a good amount of food for the price. Would highly recommend! read more

Was excellent when they first opened I have not given up on them but the quality and value lately seem to be going in opposite directions read more

I've heard a lot of good things about this neighborhood icon but today was my first time trying it. I have no idea where they get their chickens, but they are so fresh and bursting with flavor. The jumbo wings are huge and cooked to crispy perfection. We ate in and enjoyed trying the different varieties of sauce. The bowls also looked so tasty. This is a high energy place and the buzz is all good. There is limited communal seating and we were lucky enough to snag a seat at the window. read more

Stopped by for a girls night and the ambiance is laidback but definitely loud due to the music. The couple behind us was speaking so loud trying to talk over the music that they were yelling. Music definitely needs to be turned down for the ambiance to be enjoyable. The flavor of the wings were tasty. We got Buffalo spicy and the garlic soy. Buffalo spicy has a nice heat, and the garlic soy could've had more of a soy flavor. I'd say the flavors for the wings are American with some Korean inspiration. When I lived in Korea I had some of the best fried chicken, so I wouldn't really call this Korean fried chicken. The wings and fries were also old. You can tell that the wings and fries had been sitting there for a while and just dipped back in the hot oil to warm it up. This made the wings hard and the texture unappealing. If the wings and fries were made fresh-to-order this place could be an amazing fried chicken restaurant. The customer service was friendly and the cashier was nice! So a definite plus! I think if the above things were tweaked this restaurant could definitely be a 5/5! read more

Super crispy and hot chicken! The Korean bbq were a lot spicier than I anticipated, and was very tasty. They gave more fries than I knew what to do with haha. It's a great place for a casual lunch or dinner. read more

I have had this place on my list for a couple years and finally found myself in the neighborhood to go! Definitely some food competition on the block but Crisp holds its own. I loved the customer service and friendly staff. They love what they do and seeing the customers enjoy their meals. I ordered a 5 piece, two sauce, wing meal. I opted in for the sassy and Korean bbq. The cashier was so generous and allowed me to get a sac sac for free just to see how I enjoyed it. My personal favorite sauce of the wings were the Korean bbq as it's spicy and sticky similar to a glaze. And it has a kick of spice/ heat which is needed. You don't get bored with this sauce. The wings were large but super crispy. I'll be back for sure! read more

Improved experience from my last visit many years ago. Last time was takeout and it definitely lost a lot of the fresh crunch. Definitely recommend eating food in restaurant or asap. I do find the crunch part to be a bit thicker, would prefer a crisp as the restaurants name indicates, but the sauces coat well. Some of the thicker parts were not as flavored, so I had to try to dip it back in the extra sauce. The Buddha bowl is great. Huge portion and lots of vegetables. Great for sharing. read more

Flavors okay, crispiness good, chicken cook meh. Sandwich was the driest overcooked chicken breast I have had in a while. Didn't finish it. Strips were much better but still 30-60 seconds too long in fryer. Got 2 different sauces of different heat levels and they were identical. Mistake? They side sauces were better than the sauce on the strips. Veggie bowl with egg on top okay for what it was but hard pass on the red vinegar-based sauce included. For the money ($50+ for 3 entrees and no drinks) I would just DIY or get Popeyes and add your own Gochujang sauce. Unlikely to return. read more

Classic Korean fried chicken spot - the prices are super fair for the portions (the half chicken is good for one person). The crunch and flavors are top-tier - highly recommend for anyone who's in the area. You order at the counter and the workers are friendly. read more

Hot , delicious, big , crispy wings! What's not to love? Several sauce options and a decent price. I will definitely be back.

Food: so flavorful! I ordered drumsticks and Buddha bowl. As a veggie lover, these veggies are perfect sides. Beware of the hot sauces if you are not used to them, pretty spicy. Portion is huge, can easily turn this into 2 relatively healthy meals. Service: I ordered takeout and it was fast. I saw other customers order and it was pretty fast too. Ambience: low light, cool music, tables are like family style. Ideal to hang with friends! read more

Without a doubt, the best wings in the City. Don't know about the rest of the menu - I can't get past those wings!

Crisp's sauces and flavor combos for bowls and sandwiches are still top-notch, but from my experience the quality of the chicken has gone down. Lately it has been quite dry and tough, especially when ordering the tenders. As such, I love this spot but will probably try different protein options with the sassy Seoul sauce! I also ordered fries with their "extra crispy" option, and they were not crispy lol. They weren't soggy from the moisture of take out or anything, but the cooking of them were obviously not changed for the crispy option. I understand that may not be feasible with many orders being filled, but it seems silly to offer that option then. Service is still great, regardless! read more

I visited this restaurant after watching a video from Mike Chen. It looked really good so I decided to tried it out. Not much to comment on the service because you just ordered the food at the counter and picked it up when it's ready. The restaurant is smallish so not much seating. It was a little noisy when I got there (either because it was crowded or the building just doesn't handle sounds well). I liked the breading and the crunch of the fried chicken. At first I thought the sauce on the chicken was pretty good but then the more I ate it, the more it felt too salty so I didn't like it much anymore. read more

Such a great spot, but it is almost always busy so you have to snag a spot when you get there! You can order at the cashier for your food and we always get the Seoul Sassy chicken wings. The chicken wings come in 3, 5, and 10, but you will definitely be super full after 5 chicken wings. These wings are truly the meatiest wings in Chicago! You can't go wrong with any flavors, but I highly recommend the Seoul Sassy flavor! read more
