The Korean fried chicken was delicious, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the chef-recommended sauce was so good! I also really enjoyed the kimchi, which was fresh and flavorful. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and welcoming read more

Better than the Korean Fried Chicken that I had in Korea and LA tbh. Just wow. I can see how they earned the title of #1 Fried Chicken in the nation. This food stall is located in this gorgeous shopping center food court that has a big bar in the middle and there was even karaoke going on when I visited with my friend. Firstly, we ordered the Red Buldak Fried chicken. It was made with their signature fried chicken topped with buldak ramen and a sunny side up egg. The chicken itself was so crispy and delicious. The meat was juicy and succulent. They fried it well and I loved the rice flour batter texture. I also especially loved the spicy, creamy, and cheesy buldak ramen topped on the chicken which added so much flavor and depth. Just delicious. Secondly, we ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice and that was great as well! I thought it would be overkill in terms of flavor based on the pictures, but the kimchi rice flavor was good and not too salty, spicy, and sour. The rice was perfectly cooked and fried and I also love the nicely shaped egg on top. It paired well with the fried chicken. I would highly recommend this chain to anyone visiting or in the Atlanta area to try! Petitioning for them to bring a location to LA! read more

Visited this place and was surprised to find out it was in a food hall! Having visited Korea myself, I am quite picky with Korean food. The jeon ju fried chicken was very delicious, we got it medium spicy and it was the perfect balance for people who enjoy spicy foods but not overbearing. The chicken was hot & crispy and had lots of meat in it which made it feel like we got our money's worth. We also got a bulgogi plate which was disappointing. The meat had little flavor/no madinade and the glass noodles were nothing special. I would recommend skipping this dish off the menu. read more

This location is inside a food hall. I went right when they opened at 11 am on a Friday for a to go order. I waited 25 minutes for the food due to them just opening up. I got a half order boneless of both soy garlic and Jeonju. I also got half order of regular k-crispy honey butter. It was very expensive, but the quantity was great. The sauce all comes on the side for Togo orders which I think is a great decision so the sauce doesn't make the chicken soggy. The best one was the spicy jeonju. The soy garlic was spot on. The honey butter just tasted like a sweet mayo, not what I wanted or expected. The Togo boxes were definitely too small even though it was a half order because they were left open with tape across the top. The seating areas was very nice and perfect location. read more

We order boneless chicken nugget. It tastes great but the meat is sub standard. Most of the chicken are dark meats and they have stick tendons. So not high quality read more

I am not a huge fan of rice, but the Kimchi Fried Rice was pretty good. I also don't like kimchi, but again, this rice was good, so I imagine if you enjoy this kind of food, you would like Kimchi Red. They give very big portions and are willing to make accommodations. I ordered about 5 minutes after the person I was with and realized that she wanted her egg cooked well, so I asked if they could update her order and they did! When I went to order, I wasn't familiar with any of the food on the menu and the server took time to explain everything and even made recommendations. Once I figured out my order, I requested no egg and they also made that accommodation. The service and food were both great. I would recommend for anyone that likes fried rice:) Just a heads up, this location isn't in its own store, it is within a mini shopping area with multiple food options. I absolutely loved the space. On certain days, they have a DJ and other days they have Karaoke. I stumbled upon this spot and will definitely return! read more

TLDR: 9/10 very crispy, very juicy, chefs secret and soy garlic are my favorite. If you prefer with no sauce, get the KCrispy. Second time at kimchi red, first at this location and it's still my favorite Korean fried chicken in Atlanta. The batter is super crispy and not too heavy, while the meat inside is very juicy. I prefer drums over flats even though they can be a little more dry, but all of my drums were moist. We shared with as a group of 7 and got 2 whole orders and 3 half orders. We got a whole of the kimchi topped fried chicken, and the soy garlic, along with half orders of snow cheese, chefs secret, and k crispy (original). All the sauced up orders held up well while we were there. The soy garlic was a bit salty at first but only for the first wing My personal favorites were the chef secret, soy garlic, and kimchi fried chicken. The KCrispy was really good too, I just prefer saucy Korean fried chicken. Sadly the snow cheese was the only miss, I thought the flavor was too sweet and a bit like corn(?) and it was the only dry order. Oddly it was also the only one with thighs instead of wings. Located inside of Politan Row, there was ample seating at 430 PM on a Sunday. You bus your own tables and the vibe inside is pretty nice. read more

It was my first time trying this chicken joint after I had heard great things on the internet! I went for the chicken plate with no sauce. The plate was great, but don't know if it lived up to the hype. It was about $17 with tax and included white rice, glass noodles and 3 chicken wings. The chicken was indeed the showstopper! It was flavorful even without any sauce on top. The glass noodles didn't have the best texture to me and were probably my least favorite part of the dish. The kimchi was just pickled purple cabbage to my impression. Overall this was a good choice for lunch but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to try it again. read more

Kimchi Red is delicious and lives up to the hype for me personally! The portion size is enormous and be warned, when they say it is spicy, IT IS SPICY! I'd definitely come back if I had more people to eat with me. Recommendation, eat it there, fresh and don't get it to go as I'm unsure if the sauce on the side is the way to go! read more

Unfortunately, I experienced food poisoning at Kimchi Red AGAIN, which helped me realize why. Authentic Korean fried chicken traditionally does not use dairy, yet it's present in their recipe. While the flavor was improved compared to my first visit, the chicken was dry and lacking depth. I actually enjoyed the flavor, but it's far from the best in Georgia. If you have a sensitive stomach, dairy allergies, or prefer food that feels more authentic, this may not be the right place for you. Warning: during my visit, a little girl was screaming about a cockroach at this location. read more

Good not great. We have been going to the original location in Alpharetta so chose this new location inside Politan Row at The Forum. FOOD OPTIONS: the menu options were a bit confusing with the +1/+2 next to the original chicken options. The cashier did help us with this. VALUE: the price for the food is a little on the $$ end (ex: $9 for 1 serving of fries). read more

Kimchi Red - Korean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

Question: "So, is this the best fried chicken you have ever had?" Answer: "I can't think of any that I have had better." I have had this place 3 times and each time they are consistent and remain delicious. I have come with family and friends introducing them to Kimchi Red and they all leave with the same feeling, "the chicken is so juicy and fried to perfection." I have had the Rose Chon, Soy Garlic Pepper, and Red Buldak. All of the dishes are unique and offer something for everyone's tastes. My favorite is the Red Buldak. The creaminess of the ramen, combined with the crispy fried chicken, then topped with the egg is a delightful combination. Don't let the spice steer you away. You can ask them to tame it down to your preferred spice level. One order of the chicken is definitely enough to share between at least two people, three if you are not big eaters. Do not be afraid to get at least two orders so that you can try more than one dish. Leftovers heat up great in the oven or air fryer. They provide plastic gloves for eaters who do not want their hands dirty. Inside the restaurant is small and the place has been full every time I have been. Either get there on off hours or be prepared to wait a bit. They cook the food fresh, so you will wait a bit after you order. However, the staff does a great job pumping out the orders. They are very friendly and provide great recommendations on their favorite dishes. I will keep coming back until I try all of the dishes! read more

This place is hands down have the best Korean fried chicken period. This is my second Kimchi Red location I've been to. I have to say they are pretty consistent with the John's Creek location. They have so many flavors to choose from. They make everything fresh to order so it takes a while but it's worth it! read more

Kimchi Red - Chicken plate with Rice and noodles - Korean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

This place is not bad but a bit overhyped by social media. Got to try the snow cheese, spicy jeonju, kimchi fried chickens, tteokbokki, and a side of rice. This location is located in Politan Row so lots of seating. Staff were nice and food came out in a reasonable time. I enjoyed the snow cheese and spicy jeonju. Crispy chicken and nice and flavorful. Kimchi looks good for the camera but uncrisps the chicken and it gets soggy. The meal was def on the heavy side so I was pretty full after a piece of each and a small tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was pretty good and standard - I appreciated the option of a small size. My husband loves rice and needs it in every meal lol but was very disappointed that his rice was undercooked. Probably won't return but it was fun to try. read more

We drove almost forty minutes to try Kimchi Red's new location in the Forum's Politan Row Food Hall that we were super excited about. Safe to say that although this location is in a food hall, flavors and quality are exactly the same as the Suwanee location that we love. First of all, the Forum's Politan Row is soooo cute, and there are multiple restaurants with halal options. We came on a Sunday night, and there was a little bit of a line, but one of the staff was able to help us answer questions and put in our order before we got to the front. Super nice ! We got the whole order of Jeonju Chicken with Fries. It definitely took some time to make, but that is consistent with the other location since everything is made fresh to order. The chicken was juicy and crunchy at the same time and I love the Jeonju sauce !! The fries were sooo crispy ! The whole order is meant for 2 people, but we definitely had two pieces left over that we brought home. Excited to come visit again soon! read more

This was our second time at Politan row in the Forum since they've opened & the first time we came Kimchi Red's line was really long so we were definitely looking forward to trying them out this time. One of the workers recommended we try THE BOWL which I don't think would have been our first or second choice if we were ordering on our own. This Korean BBQ in a Bowl is very much worth trying. We choose the fried chicken as our protein and the bowl includes Japchae noodles, stir- fried kimchi, over white steamed rice, drizzled in spicy mayo and their KR gochujang sauce. THE BOWL is very eye catching as well because as soon as we sat down the couple next to use couldn't stop staring until they eventually asked if it was good haha, yes it was read more

Kimchi Red has expanded out and come to the new Politan Row food hall at The Forum in Peachtree Corners! A beloved classic in Alpharetta/Johns Creek/Suwanee boasting the #1 Fried Chicken in America, the new location also does not disappoint. Menu is slightly different from the main sit down restaurant locations but overall the same sauces, chicken servings, and sizes are available here. Can get your chicken plain fried, or with a variety of different sauces like their recommended Jeonju sauce (mild sweet soy with red pepper oil), soy garlic, Rose Chon (creamy tomato alfredo), gochujang, buldak/cheesy with Buldak, and more. The chicken itself is delicious, moist, flavourful, and with wonderful breading. Some plates and the regular sides are available too, including the fan favourite K-Mega fries. "Half" serving is meant for one but they are very generous and usually ends up being 6 pieces of chicken. "Whole" serving is around 8-10 pieces and you'll leave very satisfied. Staff were in line explaining the menu and helping everyone out which was greatly appreciated to try to decipher the menu. The restaurant is in the corner of the hall so can get a little chaotic to order if busy. As with a food hall like this, it can get quite loud as well. They will give you a buzzer to hold onto to come back and get the food. All food made fresh, which is definitely a bonus! Definitely worth a try especially if you haven't tried it. read more

Kimchi Red - Soy garlic half chicken order with fry - Korean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

I will say the employees are super nice and I really appreciate they were the only ones that bothered to make eye contact and want to take my order out of 8 other businesses. We got the chicken fried rice and an order of half chicken. The chicken was alright, good flavor but a bit gristle/bone than meat on some pieces. (Would say Publix breaded wings would be on par with quality, even a bit better for value, sorry) The chicken fried rice....I was confused because it was 99% just rice with one baby tendie in pieces on top? It was barely fried rice, it had a sprinkle of furikake and some mayo. After all the social media hype, like....what a Keith Lee vs Atlanta experience. read more

We came back to try something with more heat, and the cashier recommended the Red Buldak since it's their most popular dish. The fried chicken was just as good as last time--crispy, tender, and juicy. The buldak ramen was mildly spicy for me, probably because of the cheese, which seemed to tone things down. It started off tasty, but once it cooled, it got a bit too creamy and kind of boring. The fried egg was a little overcooked for me--I'm more into runny yolks. But I've gotta say, I really loved the pickled radishes! read more

Had the chef special which was recommended. I went with a half chicken. It was very crispy and the spicy sour sauce was pretty good. Had the makings of an epic chicken experience. Here is the rub...the chicken itself was not seasoned. The batter and sauce has great flavor. Just need to season the chicken or brine it. It is a food hall so service experience is nominal. read more

The fact that you can't sit down at a table unless you have 3 people is ridiculous. There were 2 open tables and we were forced to sit at the high top. It wasn't busy to the point where we should've been able to enjoy our food at a proper table. Very poor experience and I haven't even tried the chicken yet. Oh yeah, it was my birthday and first time visiting Atlanta. So I don't recommend coming here unless you want ungodly rules forced upon you. Lastly, someone sat down and nothing was said. The worker who was in her mid 40s to early 50s with a red shirt was the disaster of an employee that caused the worst experience I had. read more

I got the Kimchi Chicken and the K Mega Fries -- both were amazing! The chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just how I like it. The fries were loaded and full of flavor too -- definitely not your average fries. I don't eat pork, and one of the staff asked me beforehand, which I really appreciated. They made sure to leave it out, so I could enjoy everything stress-free. Portions were huge, so even though the prices are a bit higher, it totally felt worth it. I left stuffed and satisfied.
