    Wings w/ Sauce (4pc)
    Katrina C.

    Came across this restaurant a couple weeks ago. I was craving Korean fried chicken. Their chicken wings are good but could've used a little more salt. They were kind to throw in an extra wing for free, which was a great surprise. Their fries definitely could've used more salt too. It's unfortunate because they had potential. I had to add ketchup, which is something I do rarely. I only use ketchup when the fries aren't up to par.

    I saw this place as I was driving by and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did! There's a lot of Korean fried chicken places nearby but this has been my favorite so far. Since it was my first time I took my time and staff was very helpful as I was choosing my option. Usually chicken places are more bread than chicken, but this was the perfect ratio. I will definitely be back!

    Chicken tenders (Honey Garlic and Sweet Spicy)
    Steven N.

    When I found out that this place replaced my BBQ gem that was Smokey Teriyaki, I was pretty bummed. But I wouldn't hold it against them and gave them a shot. This is definitely a great KFC (Korean fried chicken) spot. I got the 15 piece chicken tenders with the Honey garlic and sweet spicy flavors. The honey garlic combined the nice sweetness of the honey with the savory-ness of the garlic and chicken. It was delicious. The sweet spicy was also so good because the spiciness mixed with the sweet and savory chicken just made it irresistible. It seems the key to delicious food is mixing up the taste palette. Definite something to try especially if you want some variety in your fried poultry!

    Nice touch with the positive sticker!

    Chicken is tender inside, crunchy outside, but not greasy at all. Quick service. Clean little place inside a strip mall. Will be back for sure

    Such a pleasant surprise! For $20 you can get a generous portion of fries and half a chicken tossed in sauce with a pop, side of pickled radish and even soft serve icecream!? Not only is this a great deal, it was DELICIOUS. Such a great find, service was friendly and attentive, food came out quick and hot. The batter of the chicken is evenly coated and not too heavy. We opted for soy garlic this visit and really couldn't get enough of it! The pool of sauce on the bottom was just bonus sauce for our fries! The portion of radish to chicken was a bit small, so I'd recommend asking for additional. (Not sure if it's an extra charge?) We ended up taking the chicken to go, so I didn't get to try the soft serve but with this being a take out order and it still being this good- I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors!

    Amazing food and the ice cream machine is the perfect touch. Imagine while you wait you get to cool down with soft serve ice cream, perfect idea! Thank you

    A while back, my husband and I took Katella Avenue on both our trips to and from Disneyland, mainly to explore interesting restaurants along the way. Few months ago, we stumbled upon a fried chicken spot with a quirky name. After checking out the reviews (which were excellent), we decided to give it a try. The owner of this fried chicken place seems to be run by Korean, and the vibe reminded me of those small neighborhood chicken places in Seoul. We ordered half a chicken (5 pieces) for $14.99, which came with a small side of pickled radish. Although the wait was a bit long, the chicken was fried so well--super crispy and flavorful. We chose the Extra Sweet Spicy sauce, which the staff recommended. It was absolutely delicious and not spicy at all! Surprisingly, they also serve fried rice (with bits of sausage!), and the price is incredibly reasonable. A small portion, which even comes with a side of teriyaki sauce, costs just $5.99. Honestly, that kind of pricing is hard to find in Southern California! They also sell frozen fried chicken (perfect for reheating in an air fryer at home) and Jayone frozen kimbap for $3.99 each, the same price as local Korean supermarkets. If you dine in, there's free soft-serve ice cream (you can refill it yourself, though the container is one of those small sauce cups). They also have a water dispenser for self-service and provide wet wipes, which is always a nice touch. The only downside? No restroom! Overall, we really enjoyed the food and will definitely return for their fried chicken. Crunchicken 11513 Knott Ave, Cypress, CA 90630

    4pc chicken tender combo!
    Ian C.

    I was really craving some chicken today and saw this place wasn't really too far from my work so I decided to check this place out. Located in a strip mall there is plenty of parking around so no hassle there. The restaurant and seating area itself is pretty spacious. I walked up and was debating between a chicken bowl and the tenders and opted to get the 4pc chicken tender combo that came with fries and a drink. Altogether it was around $15. Lady that took the order was nice and food took about 5-10 mins. I decided to get the sauce on the side which was the honey garlic sauce. Opening the box I was surprised that there was more than 4 pieces and was pretty happy about that! The pieces looked absolutely crunchy and the fries looked great but how did it taste?... I am happy to report that this is some pretty damn good chicken! Crunchy to the bite and once dipped in the honey garlic sauce, it was savory and delicious. The fries were crunchy as well and tasted really good! For the price I paid I have to admit with the amount of food received it's almost a steal (even with the hyperinflation... lol) the tenders were delicious and would definitely order again! It looked like this place is family owned so I can't recommend it more if you need a chicken fix! Definitely get it here!!

    Found this little gym when I was on my way from a store. I love Korean fried chicken so when I found out that this place is only 10 minutes away. I just placed an order for pick up and never regretted that decision. Parking is plenty in their plaza, and they were able to accommodate fresh food just in time with my eta arrival. Would love to come back next time!

    CrunChicken has the crunchiest chicken! They have a variety of sauces. My favorite is the honey soy garlic. I usually get the 4 piece tenders or wings, and have never been able to finish it. The price point is fairly cheap considering the amount of food and quality. The food came out quickly, and best of all, they give you complimentary soft serve ice cream while you wait! The staff are very friendly, and the music is nice also. Not loud, cozy feeling.

    A chicken lovers gem This place is located in the corner of a little shopping center, you may overlook it when you're passing by. But you shouldn't. Their chicken tasted amazing. Perfectly crusted, juicy and full of flavor. They had reasonable prices and their portion size fit with a charge. Looks like a small little mom and pop shop, but don't let that dissuade you from their awesome flavors. The one thing that I did like about them, is that they do sell wings to go. So if you want to look like, just buy some of their wings, fry them up and serve them and let your company be amazed. If I'm in the area, I will definitely revisit this place. Not to mention they give you a free ice cream when you come in. What more do you want?

    It's so good and tasty and they also will accept huge orders for parties. You can also ask for sauce on the side to keep the chicken crispy

    Mhat Korean Restaurant - Fried rice at the end of the meal

    Mhat Korean Restaurant

    (351 reviews)

    $$

    Mhat Korean is a casual low key authentic Korean restaurant in the area…read more I came with one other person on a Saturday and there was no wait and only one lady working. There was one other party in there with us. The service started off a little slow but it was well worth it. The menu includes casserole soups, stir fries, noodle dishes, and other house entrees. If you like seafood, Mhat is known for their mackerel and cod dishes. We wanted to try everything but ended up sharing their Bul Nak Jun Gol which was a bulgogi and octopus casserole soup. It came out in a hot pot with flames. It included marinated meats, udon noodles, veggies, in a sweet and savory soup base. It was served with banchan and rice. The dish listed that it was for 2 people but it can honestly feed up to 4. We had plenty of left overs. The flavors were complicated and delicious. It was perfect for that cold day. The lady working was really nice and helpful. She made sure to check on us and even helped us enjoy our food by cutting out the flame and making sure we were mixing it right. The pricing is super affordable. It was a great first time experience and I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes.

    I came by for lunch and was surprised to see that there were no other customers in the shop. But I…read morereally enjoyed the food! The bulgogi & octopus casserole soup was flavorful and hearty--perfect comfort food--and the gun man du were crispy and delicious. Portions were generous and the meal came out nice and hot. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because the service felt a little on the serious side. The woman working there wasn't unfriendly, but definitely more no-nonsense. I also paid my bill with a credit card and left a cash tip on the table, but she didn't see it and came back to ask if I intended to leave a tip--which caught me off guard a bit. It wasn't a huge deal, but just something to note. Overall, I'd come back for the food--it's solid Korean comfort fare. Just be prepared for a more straightforward dining experience.
