Food: incredible! Two of us shared a Whole order of 11. SSAL Hot Soy fried chicken. It was served hot and fresh out of the fryer. It was mildly spicy and sweet. The breading was lightly crunchy. Absolutely perfect. The "whole" seemed like a whole chicken was cut into 12 pieces and fried. There were two of each part of the chicken. I was surprised that it came with two sides: a finely shredded cabbage with salad dressing that reminded me of a tame thousand island, and a small dish of pickled jicama. They complemented the chicken perfectly. Ambience and service: comfortable and friendly We went on a Monday night so it was almost empty. The server (and maybe owner?) brought us menus and water right away, was timely in taking our order, and attentive. The food was served fairly quick considering it was cooked to order, but naturally it took longer than a fast food place that has food waiting under heat lamps. There was music but it was quiet enough to be enjoyable during discussion. The lighting is nicely dimmed but bright enough to see everything clearly. The bathroom is easy to access and has hot water and good soap for washing the sticky deliciousness from your hands when you're done eating. The tables have bins of napkins and chop sticks so you don't have to wait for service to bring those. There was also a little bucket with a trash liner in it for chicken bones and trash. In summary, this was the best chicken I've ever eaten and I thoroughly enjoyed dining here. We will definitely be back here again. Next time we plan to ask for the chicken to be a little spicier. read more

Whenever my family is in the area, we always try to eat at Kpop Rice Flour Chicken. I've gone maybe 3-4 times and I keep coming back for the chicken's crispiness and delicious sauce. Though I noticed the last time I went, the chicken wasn't as crispy as before. I'm hoping it was just a one-time fluke. Parking/Service/Ambiance: Lots of parking in the lot even on a Friday night. I appreciated that there's a call button on each table to prevent having to wave down a server. Food came out fairly quickly. Lots of indoor (only) tables and seats. There were several TVs that streamed sports games. It was nice to watch the Dodgers game while we were eating. There are 2 bathrooms and it was pretty clean. Food: -#9 Spicy Rice Cake with Ramen: great to share as appetizer. For me this wasn't too spicy and I love the flavor. -Corn Cheese: could comfortably share with 2-3 people -Ssal Hot and Spicy Chicken: half order came with 6 pieces. For someone who likes super spicy food, this wasn't very spicy to me. I love the sauciness and the flavor though as mentioned, I wish it was a tad bit crispier. -Ssal Honey Garlic Chicken: full order came with about 12. Overall: I'm hoping that the lack of crispiness of the chicken was a one time thing. Otherwise, I'll continue to come back to this restaurant! read more

Chicken is so dry and they separate the sauce on the side but too little sauce and customer service is poor. I don't want to recommend this. read more

Kpop Rice Flour Chicken - Chicken with spicy sauce but you can't barely see the sauce because is not enough sauce. - Korean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Dinning here on a Sunday night, and it was quite empty with only 2 tables including mine. Ambiance was relaxing with old school music, and the service was attentive. We ordered a whole traditional fried chicken, three different sauces and a kimchi soup. The fried chickens were very delicious, crunchy, and well-seasoned. We didn't like any of the sauces since they were too sweet. Kimchi soup was alright. read more

Amazing gluten free chicken! My husband and I were so excited to try this place after we found out they use rice flour.

I used to have this pretty often when I lived in Anaheim. I LOVE that their Fried Chicken is gluten free. Now that I moved out of the area I think about this place too often and wish I could come back. That's how good it is! My partner and I would order the Sweet and Spicy Boneless Fried Chicken with Fries. The Hotteok is amazing as well! The owners are so nice! I had to leave this review because I've loved this food for so long. Thank you for the comfort food after a long day read more

We were in the area and craving Korean food so decided to check out this place. We got the honey garlic chicken wings and pork bossam. Everything tasted great and the bossam portion was very big. Our server was super kind and friendly and offered to let us try some yummy Korean spicy snacks while we waited for our food. The store is clean, cute, and has a quiet/relaxing atmosphere. read more

It's different than the Korean fried chicken that I'm used to, but it's still good. The batter is a lot thinner but keeps a crispy texture. We got two half chickens. The smaller pieces like the wing and drumsticks were really good, but some of the bigger pieces like the breasts were kinda dry. I wish they broke those up. Service was really good. And the decor inside is cute. Also the kimchi fried rice was nice. It wasn't too seasoned so it was nice to have to eat alongside the heavy chicken. read more

Price hiked up but good quality going down ): Not sure if because of takeout but it was blander than usual, and outside wasn't crispy enough. Batter seemed thin so you could just see the chicken meat through the outside so the crispy outside was virtually nonexistent for many areas Felt like they cheapened out read more

Kpop Rice Flour Chicken - Not as crispy as it used to be ): - Korean Near Me - Anaheim, California

I found out this was a casual place to eat at Open late night. My brother and I ate here and it was pleasant. This is overall a good hangout spot to eat casually and hang out. I recommend getting a side of sauce so that you can pour it onto the wings. It will make a difference. Sweet and Spicy Chicken: Good. It is sweet and a casual dish to get with friends. Honey Garlic Chicken: Good. Sometimes oil will drip after a bite. The honey is subtle but there and they are nice casual pieces of chicken. read more

We were driving around looking for something tasty. One of our people can't do gluten, so options are a bit limited. We stumbled on K-pop and decided to give it a try. So I'll say, we didn't exactly blend in with the rest of their clientele... with that said, it didn't matter, the staff was awesome and made some great recommendations for our group. Super welcoming and chill. So we ended up ordering a bunch of random things.... Got a couple kinds of chicken. The garlic honey was yummy. Sides of sauces to dip in were great also. The meal comes with a side of salad and radish. I really liked them. It was a nice treat. Corn cheese was super good! Beers and saki was good and reasonably priced. Overall the food was good, and the service was awesome. I would definitely come back. read more

**Kpop Rice Flour Chicken - Anaheim** This spot took over an old restaurant location--I can't even remember what used to be there, but honestly, doesn't matter. What's there now is **worth the stop**. It's clearly a **mom-and-pop setup**, and I mean that literally--**mom and dad running the show.** Dad was in plain clothes, shorts on, whisking up some flour like a mad scientist over what looked like a homemade hot pot rig. Respect. The **chicken? Absolutely fire.** Crispy, flavorful, zero complaints. This is the kind of fried chicken that reminds you why we even put up with the greasy chain spots--it's fresh, it's personal, it's done right. The place was a little **stuffy** when I went, a few folks packed into the small space, but that's what happens when word gets out. **Must-try:** the **chicken gizzards.** Don't sleep on those. If you know, you know. Definitely coming back again. This place has the goods. read more

Wanted to try a new kchicken place and this one did not disappoint! Ordered corn cheese, which was sooooo good and 1 order of half sweet and spicy half original to start and it was good but didn't seem like a lot for 3, so we ordered another order of sweet and spicy (it was also good so we wanted more) lol. Their fries were cooked to perfection and one of my favorite parts of the meal! Offer a decent amount of sitting, soju, beer, etc offered. Service could have been a little better attentive wise but the food was amazing and server was really nice! read more

5star down to 3star: So this place was a 5 star for me when I first came here. Kpop Rice Flour Chicken was contender to be #1 chicken place in my book. I have raved about it to all my friends to for sure check it out if ever in the area. Unfortunately the last time I went, i found they changed owners 4 months prior. They said nothing has changed, but unfortunately, its changed... This place started out as just a last resort delivery option on one road trip down to Socal. It was a long drive and we just couldnt find time to eat dinner at the normal times so everything was closed when we finally got hungry enough. We found a korean chicken spot that delivered to our hotel so meh, lets try it. AND OMG did we try it. Their Chicken was buttery, CRISP (not crunchy CRISPPPYY), so tender and the juices just KABOOOOOM. That experience was the 1 of the 3 most religious experiences ive had with food. We also got Jokbal (pigsfeet) and it was a great interim from the chicken, but i just kept diving back for the chicken. From that first time, everytime we went to Socal, KPOPRICEFLOURCHICKEN AT NIGHT. LETS GO! Do we always want delivery tho?? chicken gets soggy, the jokbal gets kinda dry by the time it gets to us, BUT nevertheless, still great. How many chicken places can you say has GREAT soggy chicken?? This place had it. So I made an executive decision that the 4th trip down, I would go INTO THE PLACE and eat it FRESH What a decision it was. I met the owners brother (who was the manager at the time) and he explained the business and was super friendly. I ordered what i always order and dove in. O M G Fresh was AHHHH-MAZING Having all the of the above but HOT and RIGHTOUTTA THE FRYER was an experience to have hot chicken oil squirt into your mouth and wash it down with a frozencup of cold OB Beer. Oh Chicken too hot? A cooling ssam of jokbal garlic jalapeno and some salted shrimp sauce. Miss the Chicken? DIVE RIGHT INTO ANOTHER ONE. AND ANOTHER ONE. AND SSAM, AND ANOTHER ONE Truly amazing NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS. Since they changed owners, the chicken has changed. The consistency was there, but there was 1 ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL piece they missed. The butteryness was GONE. THAT IS WHAT MADE IT SO ADDICTING. It was just....... not the same. We did end up getting a fishcake soup as well which was surprisingly good, but it didnt make up for the fact that the chicken lost its butteryness. I lost a part of me that day.. HOWEVERRRRR, because of talking to the owner's brother from the previous trip, I KNOW that his family has 2 other locations around Socal. One is in Fullerton, the other i cant remember but i have a lead, and like a beagle, i will sniff out where that chicken is and FIND IT. Or if this location actually reverts back to exactly its old recipe before the change of management, i will come back and try it again, but imma call and ask bout it for sure before i hop into the car.. I will not disappoint myself like this again. IM COMIN'!~ read more

I would say the chicken is one of the best. Perfectly cooked, juicy, light batter doesnt leave you feeling bloated vs. wheat flour. Been mentioned lots here but it's really great for people on a Gluten free diet. My boyfriend especially liked it, he can't have gluten but loves Korean fried chicken. He was excited I found this place near my family home. There is none where we live in south OC so i hope they stay around for a long time. We got the original and honey garlic. Both were delicious but definitely get the honey garlic. It's so good! The garlic is fresh and has a little bit of that spicy feeling hitting your nose when eating raw garlic. I loved it. The honey sauce was subtly sweet. I ordered a side of the sweet and spicy to dip the original in. That sauce was just ok, glad I didn't get it mixed in with the chicken. Between two people we got a 12 piece with no other dishes and were able to finish the chicken. The service was ok, very minimal but straight forward. One person seated us, another brought our menu and took our order. There was a language barrier but in the end it worked out lol. They didn't really come to see if you need anything but we didn't need anything anyway. Restaurant was very clean, not that busy one a Saturday night so no wait. I think next time we will get it to go. I think it'd reheat great in an air fryer! read more

Kpop Rice Flour Chicken - Original and Honey Garlic Chicken - Korean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Was looking for late night Korean fried chicken and happened upon this place. The restaurant is within a little plaza so it's a little difficult to see from the street but quite spacious and clean. However, it was strangely very empty.. Got there around 7p, left at 8p, and we were the only table the entire time. I guess a good place for pickup though, as there were a quite a few to-go orders during that time. I thought it would be more bustling as they open pretty late and offer alcohol but it was very, very quiet. Get the original wings and a sauce. Their base flavor is good on it's own if you prefer OG fried chicken. read more

As a person with celiac disease, I was pleased to receive such generous and considerate attention when it came to my gluten concerns. The server was very careful to make sure our selections of sauces were gluten free, since the chicken itself is gluten free! We ordered the 1/2 & 1/2, with sweet and spicy, and original.We also had some of the kimchi fried rice which was light and not too oily, it felt homemade! Lovely experience and I'll be back! read more

Kpop Rice Flour Chicken - Half and half chicken, left is sweet and spicy, right is original. - Korean Near Me - Anaheim, California

We ordered from this place as a late-night snack for my husband's birthday -- he's usually watching his weight, and I never eat late at night... but wow. This was SO worth it. This isn't your typical fried chicken that's all breading and no meat. The batter was super thin and crispy, and the inside? Incredibly juicy and flavorful. You can tell they actually care about how the chicken is cooked -- not greasy, not dry, just perfect. If you're tired of the usual fried chicken chains, you have to try this spot. I promise, you won't be disappointed. There are some amazing local gems hiding in plain sight, and I'm pretty sure this is one of them. So glad we found it! read more

I've driven by this place on my way home for years and I'm so glad I stopped by. The lady that took my order was very nice and the chicken is sooooo good! It's krispy with a light breading and juicy inside. I got the 10 piece with the Sweet/Spicy & honey garlic sauces on the side. Amazing! I'll never go to Wing Stop again. I don't have photos because I ate it too fast! read more

This place is a hidden gem! We called beforehand to make sure their chicken was egg and dairy free because of my son's allergies and they were super helpful and let me know that the chicken was egg and dairy free. The ambiance is cozy and we ended up getting rabokki, a small boneless crispy w a side of sweet and spicy sauce, and fries. Omg it was enough food for a party of four! Will def be back when we are in the area. read more

Kpop Rice Flour Chicken - Chicken was not well-done fried, not crispy. Very bad. No flavor even i tried to put in airfry but still very bad. - Korean Near Me - Anaheim, California

Fried chicken and beer seem to be all the rage in S.Korea and the USA. I decided to check it out especially since they use rice flour on their fried chicken and that's gluten free. We came around 4 pm and there was only 2 other people in there eating. I'm guessing it gets busier later in the evening. I ordered the original chicken since some of the sauces has soy in it and soy isn't gluten free. They gave us a complimentary side of cabbage with thousand island dressing. I also ordered a side of kim chi and plain rice. The chicken was crispy and tasted ok. As my Mom would say "nothing to write home about". If you are celiac or gluten free it's an great option. I didn't get sick so I would go back. It's hard to find fried chicken that's gluten free. read more

If you're looking for a place to dine in at night with friends or for a date, this is the place to go! The lighting definitely set off a good mood with lots of tables that were well placed for intimate conversations. They have a normal selection of flavors for korean chicken, and the taste is really good too. The portions were pretty good for the price, and the chicken was really crunchy and flavorful. We did have to wait a bit longer for our chicken to come, but the taste definitely made it worth it. The waiters were friendly and there's a button to call your waiter if you been waiting too long!

Came here on a Sunday evening for dinner and was surprised to see a KFC place that is not packed. That was nice. Among four people, we ordered Chicken Sweet and Soy Chicken wings, the Sweet and Spicy wings, fresh tofu with stir fried kimchi and pork, and the steamed pork with veggies. Chicken wings had plenty of meat and flavor was pretty good. The menu had other options other than fried chicken, which is always a plus. Veggies tasted fresh, meat quality of the pork was satisfiable. Overall, pretty decent KFC place. read more

The best crispy chicken, I've been coming here for a few years now. Never disappoints. I love the fact that it's open late.

Ordered 3 varieties of fried chicken wings: original, sweet & spicy, and garlic (off menu item). The chicken was delicious, crunchy and well seasoned. Each order comes with a small container of pickled daikon radish cubes. The sweet and spicy was how was advertised, sweet and a little spicy. When ordering To-Go, it's best to let them toss the chicken in the sauce so that the wings are evenly coated with the sauce. The garlic seasoning is an option offered to orders for the whole chicken. However, when asked, they were able to offer it with the order for just the wings. The server who took my order was polite and very helpful. My friends loved the wings so much, we're going back for more in the near future. read more

I am gluten free (allergy) but my family is not. It's been so long since I have had fried chicken and this was amazing. I almost cried it was so good! My family loved it as well and said it was the best fried chicken they have had. I started to panic that it wasn't actually gluten free because it was so good and anyone that is gluten free knows if it's really good it likely has gluten in it. I called to verify and checked the reviews to make sure. We are in town for 2 nights and will be ordering it again tomorrow. The white radish kimchi that came with it was delicious! read more

We ordered half and half chicken with fish cake soup (spicy). Typically doesn't come spicy! The chicken combo is our favorite combo. Super crispy and flavorful. Have a bite of the chicken and wash it down with a hot fish cake soup. The service is also great! They give you more radish and salad as needed without extra charge. Perfect place for large parties, family dinners or a simple date. The location is tucked away in a small plaza but once you find this gem, you will come back again. Service read more

Oh my goodness I can't believe i never wrote a review for this place! This place has my favorite Korean fried chicken in all of Orange County!

There are a myriad of choices but Ssal remains my favorite for Korean-style fried chicken. The rice flour used here - hence the name, which is Korean for rice grain - gives it a very nice crispy texture but light taste, not greasy and heavy. And the patented Korean cooking style gives the meat a great flavor and seals in all the juices. The original recipe has a nice subtle peppery essence to enhance the taste. One bite and you will be hooked. The crispiness and lighter taste of the fried rice flour is pretty distinct. And the juiciness and flavor is unmatched. Plus, Ssal has a variety of other very addictive, spicy flavored versions Korean fried chicken is often known for. Always accompanied with a side of their yummy sweet and sour diced pickled radish, which provides a nice contrast of flavors and crunchy texture. I am a huge fan of the honey garlic and sweet and spicy chicken here. This location is a sit-down pub complete with an extended menu of some exotic pub dishes like spicy pork feet, sea snails, soondae (Korean-style blood sausage) and even fried silkworm pups. Open late to 2am. (There is also another location inside the AR Mart Korean market food court that stays open until 9pm.) Awesome Korean-style fried chicken, noticeably lighter with amazing crispiness! read more
