We came here on a whim since there was no wait on a Saturday evening for 5. The place was still…read morebusy though as we passed on a table with a grill, which then would've been a wait. We ordered the Pork Belly Bibimbap ($19), Kalbitang ($27), Steak Cubes ($40), Kalbi ($38), and Dokebi Spicy Korean Fried Chicken ($17 for 8pcs). We also paired the meal with a pitcher of Kolsch ($36). The entrees come with 6 banchans, which had some unique options like burdock root. Unfortunately the rest of the banchans were not well marinated/fermented. Also, when we asked for a refill of the banchans, the server never came back. When I asked again, she brought it but questioned me that we already got ours, which was strange as I confirmed that the banchans were unlimited. What's the point of a Korean restaurant that doesn't serve unlimited banchans?! Anyways, the rest of the food was good --not bad, not great. Everything also tasted different from how it is typically made. It almost felt like it was Korean food made to cater to non-Koreans. Also note that the dokebi spicy is actually quite spicy and that's coming from someone who enjoys spicy food. Overall, the place got the job done but didn't impress me whatsoever.

The chicken is fried fresh so you do need to wait a bit but who doesn't want their chicken made to order? I'm not a corn dog person at all but I did try the half/half with the potato coating. It was still hot from the fry and the cheese pull on the mozzarella half was very impressive. The beef hot dog half was also good as well. It's finished with powder sugar (as it's mean to be) and it all works pretty well together. Grabbed one for the wife and she was very happy with it. I ordered the crispy spicy wings and these were very enjoyable. There are not many Korean chicken shops that do this style. I prefer mine sauceless and the battery has a nice kick to it. The skin is crunchy and the chicken is juicy and VERY HOT. Brought some wings back home and air-fried them the next day, still very delicious. Definitely would check out again if I'm in the area.

After having visited them several times now I can say their food and drinks are very good. On my most recent stop there I had the Sweet & Spicy Chi-Bap with the Yuzu Lemonade drink. The meal was hot and very tasty. My drink was also flavorful and had a refreshing taste. Chris, who served me, was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. I look forward to trying more items on their menu. One of the only downsides is that their seating area is very limited so be prepared to take your order to-go in case there's no room!

They have sweet & Spicy; garlic and spicy garlic; crispy etc. In addition to wings there are poppers, tenders and drums . Once I saw that they had spicy garlic I opted for that. Reminded me of Bon Chon. I got the 8 pcs wings (50/50) which is half garlic and half spicy garlic for $14.99 I was also intrigued by the kimchi bacon fried rice for $18.99 so I ordered that too. For a togo order the presentation was great. The wings have a branded tape band going across. The rice had a nice egg on top and in a big resuable container. No issues with the portion size. You'll definitely have leftovers. Overall I loved the wings. The spice was just right. Definitely a filling meal even if just 4 wings. The kimichi fried rice was plentiful but I feel like it had way more kimchi than bacon. I'd rather a balance of both or more bacon. I'd visit again. Lots of positive reviews and the wings were delish. Want to try other items from them.

It's near a clothing store that I try to visit whenever I'm in the city, but sometimes getting over there is tricky, haha. It's a commitment because it's in the opposite direction from where most other things I visit are. Well I can say is that this is a gem hidden in plain sight. And what I have observed as a heavy Latino neighborhood is this Korean stand that has some outstanding Korean fried chicken. I thought I was just going to get some wings and call it a day, but I ended up going with a sandwich instead. There were a few options, and I decided to do the Korean Fried Chicken sandwich. It's set up to be a to-go scenario, with just four stools and very little table space. But it was raining so hard, so I decided to put my umbrella down and hang out while waiting. The Chef is very friendly and I enjoyed him sharing how he came to establish the stand and his time in the restaurant industry. It was maybe about 10 to 15 minutes before my food was ready, and it was packaged quite nicely. It was tucked in a bag ready for me to hit the train and get it home safely, but I decide to unpackage everything and eat it at one of the empty stools. The sandwich came in a small to go container that was stapled, which is a nice touch. The sandwich also had an option to come with fries, or sweet potato fries for an extra charge. Either one comes with what the chef calls smoky ketchup, and I was eager to try. I got the sweet potato fries came in a separate container and the ketchup was literally taped to the top of it so nothing could happen to it. I loved that. I had to try the chicken on its own first, and I was immediately wowed by the crunch and crispiness of the texture, and don't get me started on the flavor. I don't think I have ever had Korean fried chicken that also had corn flakes to add to the texture. But then once I had all the elements of the sandwich together, including the slaw, aioli, etc., I was quite satisfied. Now, the bun was smaller than the chicken piece, but luckily it didn't all fall into an insane mess. The sweet potato fries were piping hot and seasoned so well, they didn't even need the Smoky ketchup. But the smoky ketchup was an experience on its own too. I was not expecting to come to this little stand and have an elevated sandwich and french fry experience. Looks like they've been around for about a year now, and I wish Chef Sung Park continued success. If I lived in the area, I would do my best to stop by at least on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I need to figure out what I'm going to try next time.

The fried chicken sandwich is SUPER crispy because of the corn flake-based breading Chef uses. Really great flavor and crunch. The chicken portion is generous to the point where a lot of the chicken meat is sticking out of the bun. Chef Park, who takes orders and talks to his customers via the small window that opens to the sidewalk, is very open to feedback as well as sharing about his background and cooking methods/decisions for Lucky Chix's menu. He shared how some of his sauces include 12 or more ingredients to give it so much flavor!! There are a few seats in the front of the small shop. I recommend eating the chicken as fresh as possible, so you can eat a quick bite at the ledge on-site or do takeout/delivery

The steak needed more salt and was a bit chewy but the fries that came w it were good. The fish in the curry could also have used more salt/ flavor. I expected something sweeter but I've never tried that dish before so don't want to assume what it was supposed to taste like. I thought the tomatoes/ veggies with the fish added some nice flavor. The salmon on the crispy rice wasn't good, the menu just said salmon so I didn't even know it was supposed to come w the crispy rice which was really overbearing. I only tasted the crispy rice.
