I love this place. The flavors are spot-on, everything is cooked beautifully, the prices are fair, and the owners are incredibly sweet. The restaurant is delightfully unpretentious--not in an ironic way, but in a "our food speaks for itself; sit at a stool or take it to go, we know you'll be back" kind of way. We ordered the tofu BTS, chicken BTS, kimchee, and a cheesy Korean corn dog. I added a side of red gochujang, which paired really well with the tofu, adding a bit more heat to the BTS sauce. The kimchee had a delicious umami aroma, but the flavor itself was a bit blunter in terms of spice. Still very good--just not what you might expect based on the smell, which was also good but different. The Korean corn dog... I'd never had a Korean corn dog before, so this was a new experience for me. At first, I thought it was just a giant, corn-dog-shaped cheese stick, but halfway through you get a bite of Korean hot dog. I might try another one, in my life in general, but I didn't totally fall in love with the actual Korean hotdog part. (Used to be pescatarian, so this might track) I even added ketchup and sugar to part of it as these were the condiments it came with. I didn't think I'd like that combination (sweeter ketchup), but I was pleasantly surprised. I've liked this spot ever since I moved to the area about three years ago. Back then, they only offered chicken and shrimp. Over time, they added some beef dishes, limited vegetable options, ramen, then tofu and Korean corn dogs. However, they no longer serve ramen, beef, or warm vegetable dishes. I really wish they'd add a veggie option again, but they clearly know what they're doing. On past visits, the owners have always been very kind. Tonight was a bit different tho, I'm not sure how long they've been offering homemade chicken dog treats, but they had them as a special tonight. The owner was kind enough to transfer custody of a few to me for my dog. He loved them read more

I've been searching for restaurants on Yelp all wrong! Normally I do distance. Today I tried top reviews and I love it over here! I found restaurants I never knew existed! Fire Chicken has great reviews! I was so excited to try them! I got the shrimp and steamed rice. Good flavor! Unfortunately, the shrimp has a lot of breading. The rice was sticky. I'm not giving up hope. I plan to try them again. read more

A favorite in our neck of the woods, fire chicken offers quick service and delicious flavors. We typically get the fire chicken which comes with rice. It is SPICY and soooo good. The rice is always cooked well and it comes out HOT! It does not reheat well so eat it first thing! read more

Fire Chicken - Fire Chicken Gangjung (Spicy level 3 out of 5) - Korean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Fire Chicken is an accurate name because it is indeed straight fire. Ordering is extremely quick and easy. It's a no-frills take out place, and it does what it does exceedingly well. I've tried the shrimp and chicken with the red, fire, and buldak sauces. I would say all of them are amazing. They looked so good I had to get a bite while they were fresh (still parked in their parking lot). They all have a decent level of spice (although could be more spicy, I'm a big spice lover). Chicken and shrimp are both soooo juicy and shrimps are big-boys too. They're well-seasoned with a super addicting sauce that's all slathered over it. It's a slightly sweet sauce with a big punch of umami in it. The exterior is not crunchy, but in this case, I wasn't really missing it (offset by the flavor explosion). The little crispies they put on top aren't overly crispy, but it does add a slightly noticeable textural difference to it (although it could definitely have more textural contrast). It's also a decent amount of food, so both my palate and belly are satisfied. Overall, excellent place. Well worth it. 5/5 stars. read more

The taste of the fire chicken felt like it brought me right back home to mom's cooking! Tiny, quaint building off page rd that just does pickup orders but the chicken was super crispy, had a good amount of meat, and the spice level was perfect for me! Really nice lady working. We called to pickup and it was ready in 5 minutes! If you already have rice at home, I recommend getting the double of portion of chicken (good to share or for leftovers!) read more

Hidden mom and pop joint. I went there on a Friday. Called them ahead to order Buldak chicken Gangjung. I've been told as Five minutes wait time. It was ready when I arrived. Buldak chicken Gangjung: It's tasty and not that spicy. No chicken smell at all and my picky eater wife also loved it. Finally, she has some Korean food option. Not very spicy and i didn't sweat. It has heat as well as sweet. My kids also enjoyed chicken mandu. This place is very small and primarily themed for to go. The lady is not a native English speaker which I'm not overly concerned about. But just saying. I love the food and that's why I'm there. I tried to ask her what she recommends for kids, she said she recommends chicken nuggets. I asked for a Korean dish and she couldn't get it. But , she is good at taking orders and very friendly. No complaints. I ended up ordering chicken mandu for kids. There is a menu with printed photos of items which will help you if you are placing in person order. No restrooms that I'm aware of. Will definitely come back. read more

We stopped in for take out today for the first time. You order online and then pick up. I ordered the fire chicken mild. It was the perfect level of spicy and I cannot imagine what very spicy tastes like. The chicken was flavorful and a great texture. The chicken is boneless but not ..... mysterious in texture. I will definitely be back for another pickup and will also try the grilled meats next time! read more

Got to visit Fire Chicken in Overland, MO and a boy what an experience. An Asian restaurant with fusion types of deliciousness. Fire Chicken is take out only so be prepared. Would definitely recommend Fire Chicken for any whose interested in something different and very affordable. Tried the shrimp tempura and fire chicken gangjung. Ordered it spicy and it delivered. They also serve varieties of bulgogi and mandu. Lots more for us to try on the next visit. Will be back. read more

I have been hearing great things about this place and finally checked it out. It's not very exciting to look at but the food here was amazing. I ordered before I went because I heard this old place was mostly carry out. Food was ready by the time I got there. I ordered the red chicken gangjung and got it extra spicy. Although it's was a little too spicy for me (will get regular spice next time), it was crispy and delicious. The lady at the counter was friendly and quick to ring me up! There's a small parking lot to park in. There are a few seats available at the restaurant, but I did carry out so I can't say much about those! I will def be going back here!!!! read more

Fire Chicken is an absolute gem in Overland tucked away in an unassuming building. The owner is so friendly and welcoming when you come in the door and the food is made fast and fresh. I get the Fire chicken meal that comes with rice and a soda. I love the drizzle of sauce over the rice and the crunch of the tempura flakes. You can also order ahead for pickup but after the first time I did that I realized it was fast just as a walk up so I don't worry about it anymore. This is a must try! read more

Yes yes yes!!! Located on Page Ave, this place is the perfect Korean takeout spot. The service was quick and the staff was very friendly #fire. The wait time was 5 mins so you can enjoy a BTS song in the TV meanwhile #fire. My friend and I got the Red Chicken and Fire Chicken it was #fire. The portion is huge!!! The chicken was crispy and it was topped with toasted Japanese panko bread crumbs which was such an awesome #fire addition. The gochujang sauce was peppery and sweet. It is not that spicy for me but might be for you. I will come back to try the other fire food they have to offer. Now my tummy is on #fire (in a good way)!! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place for lunch and it did not disappoint! Note that there is absolutely no seating inside, you have to take out. There are 3 benches in front of the restaurant you could eat on but it's not very practical. Food: Red chicken Ganjung was very tasty, cooked fresh to order, steaming hot. The chicken has a wonderful crunch on the outside and is soft and tender on the inside. I prefer the sauce on the Fire Chicken Ganjung personally so I'd recommend that over this but regardless both are really good. It's about $15 after tax and includes a generous portion of chicken, rice, and a can of soda. Overall definitely would return even though it's a bit of a drive to this location from the city! read more

You can drive right past this spot 100 times without noticing it. Fire Chicken is delicious. I've been meaning to try for a while and finally did & have 0 regrets. The owner was so friendly and even gave me a sample while I was waiting. A couple people ordered ahead for pick up while I was waiting for my meal which seemed to be the move--will be doing that in the future. One serving was more than enough for 2 people. There is nowhere to really sit & eat in the little hut so plan on eating take out. read more

The staff here is lovely, and the food is amazing! This has became one of my go-to spots for my lunch breaks. Would highly recommend.

I remember a fellow Yelper mentioned this place and I had a craving for rice and chicken, so I decided to order take out through Fire Chicken. I used Postmates via Google and the ordering process was easy. They had quick time to prepare and had my order. The person at the register was very friendly and I made a second order and they were willing to combine the orders with ease. The Mandu was delicious (I am a fan of dumplings) and Teri Chicken Gangjung. This was delicious and filling. Had enough to make a second meal afterwards. That teriyaki sauce was good on both the rice and chicken. Good take out experience. read more

Fire chicken was literal fire. I placed the order over the phone and immediately left to pick up my food. By the time I got there, my order was done! The restaurant has very minimal seating as it is mainly a take-out place. So only smaller parties can dine-in. I took my entrees home to enjoy, and the chicken was still deliciously crispy back home. The only caveat is that the drive back to your home may be difficult as your items will undoubtedly smell too good to resist eating in the car. I got the double chicken order, which doesn't come with rice, but it was definitely worth it. The amount of chicken we got was more than enough for two people. And we were exclaiming how well seasoned and crispy it was the entire time. Absolutely will be back! read more

Fire Chicken - Bulgogi Chicken Gangjung (Non spicy) - Korean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I thought this place was Nashville style hot chicken, but it's Korean, and a hidden gem! It sits in the shell of a former favorite, Bek Hee, on Page. There's not much room for dine-in though a few stools are provided at the counter shelf that runs along the large glass windows. They offer chicken and shrimp in a few different styles: bulgogi, teriyaki, red (spicy gangjung), and fire (extra spicy) flavors. If heat isn't your thing there's still something to find here. Service was fast for a dine in order. Food served in the ever present styrofoam tray and cans of soda are available for beverages. I got the fire chicken combo with rice and was very pleased. Meaty chunks of breaded chicken glistening with bright red sauce, sprinkled with crunchy batter crisps and scallions. 100% recommend, don't let the humble presentation fool you, what's going on inside is special! read more

Fire Chicken - Unassuming exterior - Korean Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

I think I was expecting way too much from here. I'm not sure why, but the flavors just were not there for me. The chicken was definitely better than the bowl! The prices aren't bad at all for the portions that they give you. I think the flavors in the Bulgogi beef bowl was not to my liking. Stick with the chicken, cause that's what they are really know for! The chicken had some crispy parts, some soft parts. We ordered the fire chicken combo, so served with rice and included a canned soda (choose between Coke, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Sprite). Not spicy at all, saucy, and had some sesame flakes on time. The rice had the same sauce with some crispy crunches of breading on top. I found it a little too salty, but the textures were perfect! I would recommend trying their chicken (any sauce). Also, the service was pretty quick. About 15 minutes after we ordered at the window, the food was finished. The cashier and cook are really sweet as well! read more

I've heard about Fire chicken from my friends and I finally got to try it out today. We ordered the Fire chicken gangjung "sweet and spicy" which comes with rice and a soda, for $12. I ordered over the phone and when I arrived 10 minutes later, my food was ready to go in a brown paper bag. They don't have seating even before COVID; it's purely carryout. The crispy deep fried chicken was delicious, spicy and sweet. I would describe it as a Panda Express orange chicken with more flavor and heat. The person at the store said that it wasn't really spicy, but I beg to differ. It had a kick to it and I was downing lots of water. I did not try the ramen or the bulgogi beef bowls this time but would like to next time! read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Disclaimer: Due to COVID, we opted for carry-out. Y'all... These people care about their customers and put so much love into their food and service. From the moment we called to place our order, we fell in love with the people at this establishment. They were eager to serve us and were so grateful that we called with questions about their menu. The icing on the cake? The food was sweet, sticky, and spicy and full of flavor! Each morsel was battered and fried twice which gave the right amount of crunch yet the chicken and shrimp on the inside were juicy and not at all dry. Give the Fire Sauce a try, it's more sweet than spicy. If you're interested in sweating a little, you'll want to try the Gochujang sauce which is made with a popular Korean chili paste. Portions are filling, so be ready to eat! read more

It's Tuesday and for some unknown reason (Google might know) some of the Asian restaurants on we decided to check out were closed. So we ended in front of Fire Chicken after driving around for a while to find a place to eat. Happy we did! Not only were we greeted with a friendly smile, the business card also told us "Jesus is God." The menu told us what to order, and I decided to get the Fire Shrimp Gangjung. The order was quickly prepared and given in a large brown paper bag, with a sticker reminded us that "God will be with you." The shrimp is spicy, and has a good kick to it. I enjoyed every bite, and the portion was generous, to be honest I was full halfway, but couldn't resist it. I finished it all, and loved it! This might be a whole in the wall, sort of, but they are on fire! Should've asked how much their t-shirts are... read more

Drove by this place and noticed it had changed so we dropped by to check it out. Ordered the fire chicken and dumplings. We got the large order without rice and it's pretty darn good! I would compare it to like a general tsos or hot braised chicken, obviously with different sauce / flavors. My only complaint was that some of the chickens are really crispy and some of them are softer. Other than that, great small takeout place, hope they do well in the midst of everything going on! read more

Takeout only in an old bldg with a small dark order/take out area. But the lady was nice and the food was great. Our order was simple, but the food was excellent. One large order of teriyaki chicken gangjeong - crispy out, tender in, sticky-sweet teriyaki sauce coating with some other spices atop - delicious. One large order of red chicken gangjeong - same as above, but with a sticky-sweet-spicy sauce coating that brought it up to another level of interest - and even more delicious. Oh, and started with appetizer of Popcorn Mandu (12 (small) pieces of deep fried pork dumpling ,cheese on top with spicy mayonnaise) - wow that was savory, complex, tasty. So you can tell I really liked it, and plan to be back. A few words on the menu. Pay attention to what you order. You get exactly what is described - no more, no less. So the chicken gangjeong is just that. Doesn't come with rice unless you get the combo that also says "rice" and "soda". We ordered two large orders of chicken gangjeong (teriyaki and red). They were huge. Of course they were also $22 each, but we got our money's worth. Now I just said above that you get exactly what is described. However, when I picked up my order, the lady said each chicken came with a soda. So bonus for me. read more
