Batter is light. The snow cheese was slightly better than the gochujang. They clearly dip the wings into the sauce before frying - it went into the skin but didn't quite make it into the actual wing meat. Would rate 4.5 out of 5 if half stars were an option. Takes about 20 minutes for the order to be ready they give you a little pager and you can check out other food trucks. We ended up getting mango sour from the bar to compliment. located in the Heist food pod, which has indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bathroom. Parking was relatively easy to find. Utensils included gloves. read more

Came here twice in a week just for the snow cheese chicken. It's so damn addicting. It's definitely an experience. The chicken is flavored well and crunchy/crispy as hell. It's very simple but done so well. I've tried the soy garlic and gochujang flavors and wasn't a fan. The soy garlic wings I couldn't finish. The sides are okay too. If I go there I'm only getting the snow cheese chicken. Service was average. Was nice enough! read more

Paid $20 for some pretty bland chicken. I don't understand how this place has a ton of good reviews but ive had really good Korean chicken before and this place fell short. The chicken to be fair was fried well. It seemed promising but $7 for a plate of plain fries?? And after taking a bite, I had to keep trying to find flavor in every bite but i was only left to be disappointed. I really hoped this place was going to be good but was lead on by other reviews with not the same taste buds i guess. And even if it was tasty, the prices are outrageous for what it is... read more

I concur with fellow Yelper, Sean R. ~ no enthusiasm in service with a tip prompt. Sandwich is tall but small. No zing to the gochujang. Slaw was crunchy but needed some more flavor to balance the red sauce. The sando falls apart quickly & messy so advise to grab a fork & knife. For $16 with no side included, meh. A cool spot at the Heist where you can pair it with a beer pint inside. read more

Frybaby - Gochujang Sando $16 - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The standout here for me was the kimchi mac and cheese. It is such a unique twist on a classic dish that actually works very well -- it is very umami, creamy, with the hint of spice and sour of kimchi; the seaweed topping adds a nice flavor and crunch as well. We also ordered the three piece soy garlic wings, which were very large and tasty as well. Takes about 20 min for food to be freshly made. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating at the Heist food cart pod. Complementary water also available here (go inside, grab a cup from the coffee area, fill it yourself at the water fountain). read more

Delicious fried chicken from Frybaby tonight. We heard this was a favorite from a food blogger I follow so I immediately had to check it out and it did not disappoint. The favorites were the kimchi Mac and the gochujang tenders. Everything's good so I recommend having each person getting a different type of sauce and then splitting! Finding good gluten free options is always a plus too. read more

so I have been trying to find time to get to try this place for years now and I finally did boy was I not disappointed. I absolutely love the snow cheese wings. Can't wait to go back and have them again would've given him a five stars except for I've had much better cucumber salad, and I didn't really enjoy the appearance of employees they were nice. They just looked like grungy little homeless Portland Street kids good on you for hiring them, but not really what I'm looking for when it comes to touching and cooking my food read more

My favorite fried chicken spot. Always crispy and perfectly seasoned and pairs perfectly with the green onion and daikon radishes. The owner is a gem of a human, and loves what he does and you can taste that is the product he produces. Their staff is always friendly and kind. 10/10 every single time. read more

These wings were amazing! The moment I took my first bite into them I noticed how juicy the meat was! When I pulled the meat off the bone, they came off super easy and you know that they had cooked these wings perfectly! The sauces that cover these wings were just the correct amount of saltines and hints of garlic. Service was really good and there was a really nice place indoor to sit to enjoy these wings as well as watch some TV. read more

The absolute worst part about Frybaby being at The Heist... is you're making it difficult to choose now! Like seriously. A lot of the greats are there, and you can't leave without a cookie, so you're leaving full and happy! Anyway, Frybaby is pretty dang good. Juicy chicken, crunchy exterior. Good flavors. Snow cheese is a fun and unique flavor that isn't found everywhere. Gochujang is a bit sweet for me. I'm like it spicy, but it was still good. Service was fine. Atmosphere is great. Love this cart pod! read more

I love Korean fried chicken and fried chicken sandwiches but this one missed the mark for me. I tried the Snow Cheese sandwich and it was quite lackluster - I mean the chicken was fine but the shredded lettuce and other toppings were lame and the bun wasn't the best. It was also pretty small. Maybe I would've liked one of the other flavors better. read more

Picked up some giant naked drummies togo that air fried to perfection back home. It was a great way to keep crisp skin intact til ya can get to it. You can then dip or toss in sauce to your hearts desire. Can we take a moment for that curry mash tho...didn't know I was missing this in mah liiiife till now. Kudos on a classic w a twist. Will have to come back and try diff chick flavs and sides. Pick up was easy. Staff good vibes...check :) There was a few covered picnic tables to sit and grub as well. read more

Korean Fried chicken sandwich is the bomb. Kimchi fries are good, just a tad sweeter than I like. I'll need to order the snapper next time.

Overall this is a solid food cart, I actually think my favorite thing I tried was their Kimchi Mac and Cheese. The kimchi and cheese flavors were very strong, and the mac and cheese was very creamy. We tried two chicken flavors, the snow cheese wings and Gochujang tenders. The snow cheese flavor was my favorite (the outside texture has good flavor but the chicken inside isn't seasoned super well) The gochujang sauce was a bit too sweet for me and lacked much spice Service is fast, and there's good seating in the food cart park read more

If you want the most unique looking yet bland tasting fried chicken, here you go! I do not recommend at all

Chicken legs were gigantic, well cooked with crunchy skin, the gojuchang sauce was somewhat disappointing, not much flavor or spice. Tried to order the larger order, and add a wing, but no mixing allowed . Suggest they might offer a 4 piece order with 2 of each, wings & legs. read more

Freaking the BEST! There's a reason why they were named best food cart. The food is perfection every time. That snow cheese. Just cover anything in that and it will be devoured. The crunch on the chicken is unlike other Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) places. It's light, crispy, not greasy, and super addicting. The chicken is always juicy and tender. All their sides are good but I'm partial to the kimchi Mac and cheese. I've also had their sandwich before and it's so good too! Sonny and Sarah are always so funny and sweet. I love supporting their small business. Plus it's in a food pod with other QTBIPOC carts, which is always a plus. You need this KFC in your life. You're welcome. read more

Been wanting to try this place. Finally decided to order. Didn't disappoint. The Mac and cheese was a bit dry but chicken was so good my cat, who never takes food off my plate, grabbed a wing and took off. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get Korean fried chicken in the Portland area! The chicken is always large, super crispy and full of flavor. I especially like the soy garlic flavor. The kimchi mac n cheese is also great! It is cheesy and has just the right amount of kimchi and spice. The food all came out very quickly despite there being a line. read more

Frybaby has been on my list to try for a long time. This week also happened to be wing week as well. We got to try their Korean Honey Butter wing special and their wings with Snow Cheese. Also got their plum soda drink and a side of fries. The wings come with the drumette, wingette and tip which I loved. Nice big piece of fried chicken. The skin was super crispy, but the meat was juicy, tender and fall of the bone. The honey butter wing was good with some sweet and savory flavor, however, the snow cheese was amazing. My first bite I was in awe, so delicious. It went nicely with the scallion greens and the pickled radish. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The plum soda was refreshing and went nicely with the fried chicken. There's no on site parking, but there's street parking available which isn't too hard to find. Food came out quickly and there's outdoor seating but it's covered which is nice. You bus your own table if you are dining in but otherwise can do take out too. Overall, will definitely be coming back especially for the snow cheese wings. I think this is definitely my favorite spot for Korean Fried Chicken in Portland now. read more

I tried three drumsticks with gochujang sauce, similar to Korean yangnyeom chicken, and wings with soy garlic sauce, like Padak with scallion salad. The drumsticks were quite large, and I was full after just two. The batter on the chicken was really crispy and tasty. The kimchi mac and cheese had a great after kick. Great fusion + chimaek place! The food came out pretty fast and the owner was so nice :) This place is located in the Lil' America food cart pod next to Fracture Brewing. The whole food pod area is festive fun vibe and kid-friendly. It was great to enjoy beer from Fracture Brewing with this fried chicken. The best! read more

Stopped for a quick bite Heard this spot was voted the number 1 food truck for 2023 Ordered the snow cheese drumsticks and Mac and cheese and the no spicy wings with rice. Both were delicious The server was super cool and explained the menu to us and we appreciated that It's a food truck park, I would say they should have someone clean the tables more consistently though but it was cool We ended up taking it to go, it was chilly Looking forward to going back next time I'm in Portland read more

I'm writing this review while the chicken is still in ma belly, it was soooo good! While I was debating between getting wings or drumsticks, they put tape over the wings on the menu, so that made the decision easy. I got the snow cheese and my dining companion got the gochujang. We also got sides--they ran out of the mashed potatoes, which we were planning to get, but I'm glad they did, cuz the drumsticks are GIGANTIC! They're more like small turkey legs, I've never seen such big drumsticks before. The chicken was fantastic--this was better than any KFC I had in Korea. Granted, I only had KFC once while I wax there, but still, it was amazingly crispy. I don't know how they achieve such crispness, it was like a thin chicharron, it just shattered so delicately in a satisfying way. The snow cheese was so tasty --it was a little savory, a little sweet. It would make a great popcorn seasoning. The gochujang was also delicious. It was not very spicy (which I appreciated), and also a little sweet. All this, plus they were HUGE! The smashed cucumbers were a perfect salty-tangy-spicy accompaniment to the chicken. We also dig the kimchi Mac & cheese, which was also good. I don't like Mac & cheese to be too creamy, and this was not. It also has more of a touch of kimchi rather than a lot of kimchi--flavors were well balanced. Chicken also comes with a small lightly dressed green salad that is green onion heavy, as well as pickled daikon. It was missing from my basket, unfortunately. I was going to go ask for it when there wasn't a line, but there was always a line! That was my only beef. Otherwise, this was a very filling and tasty meal. Make sure you go when you're hungry! read more

We went at lunch time, during Weiner Week. This was a mistake. The wait was really long. The person taking orders seemed in the weeds and couldn't keep the orders in order, so people were getting theirs before ours. The person with us already got hers and was waiting for us, which made her dog a soggy gross mess that she didn't even finish. They seemed pretty unconcerned about any of this, and finally let customers know there was a wait for new orders (which I took to mean our not new order too). In the end we gave up. We did get our money back without much fuss, but it was disappointing and frustrating. It wasn't a great situation. That said, I won't go back because I get that food carts can get overwhelmed quickly, but this wasn't their first Weiner Week, so, you know, be ready and put orders in, you know, order. read more

Very crispy and flavorful wings. I enjoyed the gochujang chicken wings and the kimchi Mac and cheese. I didn't enjoy the noodles but the wings were top notch. Big and juicy. Not very spicy read more

The customer service was good, except I ordered tenders and got drum sticks but it might have been a misunderstanding. The chicken was extra crunchy and the snow cheese is tasty 8.5 out of 10.

Omg! I got the Korean Chicken drumsticks with the spicy gochujang since and a side of kimchi mac and cheese. Now this stuff is finger licking good. The doubled fried chicken has such a perfectly crispy texture, the chicken itself was not too oily and the sauce just puts it over the top. The Kimchi is mixed in with the Mac and cheese sauce and sprinkled with furikaki flakes to take it to the next level of crunchy and cheesy. Easily one of my favorite comfort foods. The staff is super nice and you can ask them for their recommendations. I wanted to try the lime and sesame coleslaw but I'll save that for next time as they recommended the Mac and cheese over it. They give you wet naps and plastic liner gloves to each the chicken but I find it kind of strange to eat fried chicken with plastic liner gloves. The whole point of eating this is with your hands and lick your fingers. It's more of an experience that way. I did use the wet wipes later to clean my hands which was much appreciated. They are a food cart located in Lil' America food carts right next to Fracture Brewing. Plenty of places to sit down and there was also a DJ that comes out on Thursday's to play some house music. The ambience is what you expect for a food cart pod but it's a great spot to people watch and dog watch. So many cute doggos there and beers or mixed drinks from Fracture makes it a great location. Would definitely go there again. read more

Best chicken I have ever had in my life. Insane flavors. I ended up using the gloves they give you and made tacos with the thicker crust around the drumstick chicken. Very juicy but crispy outside. I use the dipping sauce and the Korean sparkle to enhance the flavors. Must try if your in the state. Worth the trip if you love chicken or a foodie. read more
