Frank the manager was very helpful in terms of recommending items that I may have been craving. I've visited this location frequently and the food has always been on point in terms of quality and value. While I generally always get the Hot Chic sandwhich which is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, I opened for the chili oil dumplings which was new on the menu. It did not disappoint and left me wanting to eat more. The environment along with their staff is always pleasant and I'm glad it's one of my top places to visit frequently when I'm having a craving for Korean food. The double fried chicken is always crispy and their Wing Wednesday special in which a particular set of wings are $1.00 each is such a great value. It's honestly one of the best values in terms of what you get for quality and bang for your buck. If you haven't given this spot a try please do so, Cross Street has never disappointed me. It's definitely a hidden gem and I solely recommend it. read more

This Korean style chicken restaurant serves up crunchy and delicious chicken wings along side many other tasty items. Chicken was very good and wings are fairly big. Service here is very helpful and friendly. We loved the happy hour menu since it had great deals on food and drinks. The chicken tenders on the happy hour menu are huge and a very generous portion. The restaurant was clean and they had tables indoors and in a patio area. Parking can be a challenge sometimes during prime times. Overall a good Korean style chicken restaurant. read more

Was craving for some Korean Fried Chicken and landed here. The food here is so good. Ordered the corn cheese (don't miss out), bulgogi fries, and multiple varieties of chicken (they come in orders of 5). There's seating inside and outside. Outside seating is also dog friendly. There's some plaza parking going on so feel free to take your car. Came on a Tuesday during lunch time and was able to get seated right away. This restaurant is great for groups and the service is fast and kind. The pika soju was also a pretty good drink. Tasted like a refreshing lemonade. Forgot it had soju at times. read more

I have been very curious about this place for a long time now and I finally made my way over here. I got here at 3 o'clock on a Monday and there was plenty of parking. Which was quite a relief . They have free 90 minute parking in their parking lot for their customers. I enjoyed their happy hour very much. They have excellent specials. See the pic I posted of the happy hour menu . I really enjoyed the honey butter chicken strips . They could've used a little more sauce ,other than that they were amazing. Cooked to perfection, and they are a good size . I also tried the mango cilantro sauce delicious! read more

Delicious wings. I was very happy to find my wigs big and fat. My wings were very delicious. Service was friendly, workers are very attentive. Best part was of course the wings. The place is pretty busy and finding parking was not easy. We had to park a crossed the street. Also parking is not free. However it was worthwhile for the wings. read more

Took my husband here over the weekend. I had visited once after the pandemic with my kids, who raved about the corn cheese. I remembered it being pretty decent, so I wanted my husband to give it a try. First, I was annoyed to see new paid parking signs posted all over their small lot. Street parking is already tight in this area, so being forced to pay feels ridiculous. Fortunately, they do have a sign on the window stating customers get 90 minutes free. We were greeted and seated right away. Pre-set menus were already on the table, which made things look a bit cluttered, but aesthetics weren't my main focus. Even though there were only a couple of other tables, our food took quite a while to arrive. Here is what we ordered: - Popcorn Chicken Fried Rice: The rice itself was bland and overloaded with large slices of onion. I would've preferred a runny egg yolk to help coat the rice. That said, the popcorn chicken was great--nicely seasoned with a crispy coating that paired wonderfully with the spicy mayo. - Kimchi Fried Rice: Delicious! Aside from picking out the large onion slices again, I devoured this dish. Just like the other rice, a soft, runny yolk on the fried egg would have made it perfect. - Soy Garlic Wings: Very good. Generous sizing with a fantastic crispy crunch. Overall, the food was solid and we enjoyed our meal, but nothing truly stood out enough to make it a must-return spot. read more

Cross street is consistently delicious food, good service, and a chill atmosphere. The Seoul Spicy is the best.

Cross Street Chicken has the best of both worlds- it's where Korean fried chicken meets classic southern cooking! They serve creative foods with traditional flavors! Located in the heart of San Diego's Convoy District, this place will not disappoint! The chicken is served to order, each piece shatteringly crisp, with a golden-brown crust and deeply flavorful! Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside (it doesn't get any better than that). For starters, we ordered the fried dumplings, (1) order of Asian sesame seed wings, (1) order of chili oil wings, (1) order of Cajun rub tenders and (1) order of Seoul spicy tenders. The vibe is relaxed with a spacious interior and outside patio, it's the perfect spot for a family or friends gathering. The staff are quick and efficient. Making excellent recommendations for first timer's! Prices are reasonable. And they have a great menu selection! Definitely come check them out! read more

Customer service was great and the location has plenty of seating . This is the kind of spot you pull up to with your friends on a Friday or Saturday vibes type, just chill, eat some wings, have a couple drinks, and chill out ,you'll see what I mean once you go. The atmosphere is laid back They've got indoor and outdoor seating, and outside has plenty of tables to just kick back. I tried the chicken wings 5 piece they came out nice and crispy, nothing crazy, just a solid crunch on the outside and juicy inside. If you like them extra crispy you can ask, but they were already on point. The orange sauce stood out too, not sure what it's called but I'd definitely get that again. Original is what I order Overall, good experience. I'd come back and try more menu items for sure. They also have drinks specials and a mini bar #ChickenWings #FoodReview #CrispyWings #GoodEats #FoodieFinds #ChillSpots read more

Cross Street has some of the best Korean fried chicken in San Diego! Their flavorful tenders are perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. They tend to get busy, but service is quick and worth the wait. We've had garlic Parmesan, soy garlic, and lemon pepper, and all are tasty. Whether you dine-in or eat out, I'd highly recommend giving them a try. P.S. Sometimes they also give extra tenders! read more

Wow! Cross Street is a hidden gem in the convoy area. They offer free parking for the first 90 minutes and then I believe you can get it validated as well. We came just before the lunch rush so our service was insanely fast. Our waiter was super friendly and gave great recommendations. They were out of the initial beer I had wanted to try so I went with the house blonde. I was personally not a fan, but I would definitely love to try their other house beers. Our food took maybe 15-20 minutes and was served hot. My chicken was slightly overcooked and a bit tough but everything else was absolutely delicious. read more

Amazing food and service. We went on a Monday and it was very quiet and calm. We got 90 minutes of free parking. We ordered 20 original wings with the Seoul spicy and soy garlic sauces on the side. The chicken to batter ratio was perfect and the seasoning was great. I could've eaten the wings without the sauce but the sauces just elevated the taste even more! 10/10, will definitely be back. The service was also great, our waitress was extremely attentive and sweet. read more

Cross Street is a great fried chicken spot located in Convoy. I would highly recommend going here on Mondays for their $1 wings! It is a great deal! Also, the portions are also pretty decent as well! They give plenty of food! The tater tots are always really good, and one thing that I love about this place is that they give unlimited ranch and spicy mayo! The service is also great. They are very attentive and refill water! The restaurant is also quite clean as well and there is both an inside and an outside dining area. Parking is also pretty difficult to find, but it is doable! Overall, I would recommend going here! If I were to come back, I would make sure that I come back on Mondays for their $1 plain wings deal since I really enjoyed that! read more

Cross Street - SeChicken Seoul Spicy Sandwich - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

This has got to be some of the BEST chicken in all of San Diego. First and foremost, the spicy Seoul chicken sandwich made MASSIVE and absolutely delicious. Perfect chicken to bread ratio. The chicken wings themselves were also fantastic, loaded with their own unique flavors from the sauces. The jalapeño poppers were perfectly crispy with just the right proportions. Even ordering this from DoorDash, the food was still hot and crispy. I'm excited to eventually check out this place in person and try more off the menu. read more

Cross Street - S Tenders (3PCS) Seoul Spicy Sandwich - Korean Near Me - San Diego, California

When Cross Street first opened several years ago, it was one of the early dedicated KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) places in town. The business took over a former local chain taco shop on Convoy Street. The owner (Tommy) and his extended family run at least three of the other eateries in the same small plaza. Unfortunately, parking was very difficult in this lot, and it was free for up to 90 minutes. After that period, you have to scan a QR code and pay, otherwise your vehicle could be ticketed. I liked the ambiance of this location better than the newer venue in Del Mar because it felt more like a bar and grill with available outdoor patio seating. The menu has evolved to more than just KFC with various Asian fusion offerings added. KFC, daily lunch specials, and drinks were on one side of the laminated menu sheet. Entrees, shareables, and sandwiches made up the other side. There were now 13 different flavors to choose from for the wings or tenders. A separate catering menu with party tray quantities was also featured. I came by to place an order to go even though I could have dined in without a wait for a table. That was unusual for a weekend evening as it's normally packed. The wings now cost more than $2.50 per piece which was a turnoff. My selection was the Popcorn Chicken Fried Rice. Peas, carrots, and onions were mixed in with the rice that was topped with a fried egg. Several pieces of popcorn chicken were added to the dish. There was a heavy use of garlic in the fried rice. The chicken was overcooked and dry which was disappointing. This trip for takeout at Cross Street was a three star experience. read more

After reading a review from a fellow Yelper who allowed 3 stars. I should have listened more carefully. The rice is good, the popcorn chicken is dry and hard to chew. Mostly breading. I was the only one there, and still no goodbye when leaving. Unfortunately, I was not permitted to get the rice without the horrible chicken. Can't just buy the rice by itself, Bumper. Too bad, so sad, can not return. read more

Jenny greeted us and invited us to sit wherever we liked. Cozy relaxed vibe. Menus were on the table, see photos! Today we chose the mango cilantro salad and one order of soy garlic wings and one order of salt and pepper wings. Jenny let us know that it would be about 15 minutes as everything is made to order. Salad was fresh with a light sweet dressing which complemented the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion and mango. Wings were just as amazing as our last trip here! Fresh, hot, crispy, delicious, on point! read more

I would recommend this spot for anyone who wants to get their wing fix. Their happy hour is solid and their food portions are large for being on happy hour.

The ambiance is cool as they have an outdoor area with games to play. read more

We came on a weeknight and the vibe definitely gives a club type energy. Service was quick and friendly enough. I got the soy garlic wings, kimchi, and corn cheese. The soy garlic was a pretty subtle taste, not as flavorful as I would've liked. I hear the soy garlic and a spicy sauce are the most popular, so maybe I'll need to try the spicy one next time. The corn cheese was good, they had paprika added which gave it a little bit of a Smokey flavor. The sides are definitely family style, you can share with the table. I forgot to take a picture but we also got garlic Parmesan tater tots which were good, I wouldn't say they were to die for but exactly what I expected. read more

Really great plant-based wings! I tried the Seoul Spicy and Soy Garlic flavors and enjoyed them both. The Soy Garlic is less saucy, so the crisp of the chicken really comes through. The Seoul Spicy is very saucy and flavorful with a small kick of spice, not too much. The pricing is not bad at all, I recommend coming with friends and sharing to get the best deal. Service was quick and parking is free for all customers for 90 minutes which is pretty good for Convoy. I came on a Monday night and didn't have any trouble finding parking. Happy to have found another good vegetarian option in the area! read more

I came to Cross Street with a large group of people around 5 PM on a Sunday. It wasn't too crowded yet, so there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. Parking wasn't the easiest, but that's typical for Convoy. FOOD: Triple Dipper (3.9/5) - I know this is on the menu as a shareable, but I got it for myself anyway... free will. I was just really into the idea of dumplings, fries, and spicy popcorn chicken. To me, the chicken wasn't spicy and was a little dry, but that's nothing a bit of dipping sauce can't mask. Four different dips were provided: ketchup, ranch, spicy mayo (?), and ponzu soy sauce (?). Dumplings were crispy. The fries were okay, but won't blow your socks off. I was asked if I wanted cajun, lemon pepper, or garlic parm for the fries. I thought those were the only options and didn't know it would be a $1 surcharge. Just get regular fries if you don't want to pay the surcharge (I think). SERVICE: (5/5) Extremely kind and considerate workers. My friend wanted a take-out order, and our server offered to place it a little later so the food would be fresher. They were also super attentive in general. TLDR// Pretty decent food. I'm sure I'd enjoy it more if I had been here during happy hour or if I had ordered other, more popular things. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. read more

This place has some delicious fried chicken. We got the corn poppers as a starter. They got eaten so fast that I didn't get a picture. They were delicious nuggets of corn, chilies and cheese in a crispy breading. They served it with a spicy chipotle sauce - a must try! We also tried the Classy as Cluck sandwich with tater tots, the 2 piece chicken tenders (with spicy Korean sauce) with a side of mango salad and the chicken and waffles. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The chicken tenders which came with the lunch special and the waffles were so large that we ended up only eating one piece of chicken and now have some for dinner. The place has a funky, eclectic vibe. Wait staff are friendly and accommodating. read more

A sight to see on the corner of Convoy and Armour St, this restaurant immediately stands out with fun, photo-ready artwork on the exterior--perfect for family pictures before or after your meal. There's a dedicated parking lot (spaces are a bit tight for larger SUVs and trucks), plus additional street parking along Armour St, which keeps arrival relatively stress-free. We were welcomed by friendly staff with genuine smiles, promptly seated, and given time to review the menu. Each of us ordered a dish and we shared two more; portions are truly shareable, and we still left with leftovers. Classic flavors like garlic parm and soy garlic really stood out--everything we ordered was on point. We skipped the extra-spicy options this time, but every plate still hit the spot. Inside, there's plenty of space, a family-friendly atmosphere, an outdoor patio, and I counted about five TVs, making it a solid choice for catching a game. Great happy hour specials are the cherry on top. We'll definitely be back. read more

We came here on a rainy day. I was craving comfort food and wanted ramen. Noona's noodle soup caught my eye. It was spicy, came with dumplings, kimchi and fried egg (not boiled, which was something new for me). Upon ordering, the waitress disclosed that the noodles were instant noodles. That knowledge in and of itself made this experience less enjoyable. My expectations for this dish was that it was authentic noodles soup, not the instant ones that comes in a package that you can buy from H-Mart for $1.99. And to top it off, the noodles came out undercoooked. . My son ordered the chicken tenders. That came out good though, which made up for my bad experience. read more

It's been a while since I've been to Cross Street so I was surprised to see their menu had changed. They no longer have the larger servings of wings and they have more entree options. I came here on a Sunday evening for dinner with some friends. The lot wasn't too crowded at dinner time and they offer free 90 minutes of parking when you eat at a restaurant. Cross Street has a handful of indoor tables and there is also an outdoor seating area. It wasn't too crowded when we got here so we got a table right away. We ordered some mixed drinks and soju for the table. The mixed drinks were so cute as they were Pokemon themed. I ordered the bulgogi pepper corn dish. It was a lot smaller than I imagined but packed with flavor. It came with a sauce that I poured over the top that was really delicious. There wasn't too much corn or bulgogi on the dish and it was mostly rice but the sauce helped jazz up the dish. I also shared a garlic Parmesan wings plate with some tots on the side. The wings are still so good. They're perfectly crispy and still juicy on the inside. The flavor was really delicious too and not too saucy or overpowering. The tots were regular tots but I appreciate that they gave us plenty of ranch to dip them in. I think the food can get pretty expensive here for the portion sizes but it's all so delicious. I do miss the larger offerings of wings but I'm sure I'll be back for even just the 5 piece plate. read more

The interior is a little uninteresting during the day but the food is good. Service: awesome. While ordering, we asked the waitress for her favorite flavors and she recommended the Seoul spicy, lemon pepper, and honey butter. We ended up ordering Seoul spicy and lemon pepper. Throughout our meal, the waitress came by a couple times to ask how we were doing and if we needed water refills. Food: Fried chicken itself: large, crispy, tender, juicy (the basics of everything you would want in a piece of fried chicken) Lemon pepper seasoning: Delicious! Everything in the seasoning, the butter, the lemon all go together so well. Seoul spicy: This was a standard spicy and sweet sauce. Taste profile felt one dimensional, in that it didn't really have much going on for it. I would definitely try a different flavor next time. read more
