Been told that this place is soo good and been craving chicken wings. We ordered 6 pieces with the…read moreSoopreme sauce (with soga - soy and garlic- and old fashioned -spicy sauce- mixed in), and they were good. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in that sweet-spicy glaze that has depth of flavor. Messy in the best way possible. Unfortunately, chicken wings at Bonchon tasted much better for me. The cold bibimbap was refreshing and well-balanced -- fresh veggies and a nice chilled contrast to the hot wings. It felt light but still satisfying. I am not sure if the hot bibimbap would've tasted better. I was expecting more flavor, and more side dishes, being it a Korean restaurant. Service was good. We came for lunch on a Monday and there was only one other customer when we arrived.

The BEST KFC in U.S…read more KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) is THE soul food of Korea deeply rooted in korean culture. Grew up eating different style of KFC in Korea, California, HI. Other places tried in GA, NY and VA. And it is absolutely surprising that my #1 KFC is here in Raleigh. FYI, I met the owner - who cooks himself in the kitchen - states he fries the chicken himself due to quality control. He also trains and creates menu for other KFC place in LA That being said, KFC is absolute best here and I just can't believe it is here in NC. Food: they have pretty small menu and the reason is-- their specialty is KFC. I've tried their pork belly Ssam (korean wrap) and although it was good I have to say- I've had better in Ssam specialty restaurant. So let's talk about what I come here for. That's right. KFC. I do not do take out either. It's fried. You will get the best taste out of it straight out of the fryer to the plate. So I order , usually one plate of no sauce which is just battered and fried then another plate of soga (soy sauce garlic) sauce which is my very favorite: you can expect savory, salty, sweet with hint of mild spice. Once in a great while I would order traditional sauce if I'm in the mood for more spicy sauce. The chicken is very juice while the batter is so crispy. It is a must to drink beer with it (chi-mek) I usually order korean or asahi beer. Venue: this is not a typical look of KFC but it works. Pretty large to accommodate any occasions. They also have private room with karaoke for small party. They also recently added a corner with some korean grocery. Service: I see lots of turnover here as far as with servers as they are young man/women. But Dave who goes to Raleigh and also wake Forrest location is absolutely exceptional - and I was also grateful the owner came to our table to check up on us. Perhaps we went during off hour he was able to. Typically always busy here with customers and take outs. All in all.. here, the secret is out.

In a slightly louder voice "what meat?" "Oh, seafood please and can I get it mild please?" No response "okay, can I also get the hot stone bibimbap" no response "with beef please and that's it". In another low whisper "$32.45" "27". And then I realize we're done and 27 is my ticket number. No "thank you", "your order number will show above" NOTHING. Doesn't help that food was served on a "hot" stone plate versus bowl and it was not hot. Not sure why I paid $2 more for the stone when it wasn't even hot. The seafood soondooboojjige barely had seafood in it. Not at all like the picture shows with fresh clams. Also it was served warm not hot. Won't be coming back.

This was my first time having Korean…read morefried chicken, so I went with the Supreme Sauce on a Half Chicken after discussing my tolerance with the staff. The Supreme Sauced Half Chicken is tossed in a special gochujang sauce (advertised as medium spicy). The sauce was sweet, savory, delicious, and perfectly spicy. It truly had the right amount of spice for me! It made my nose run a little bit (in a good way) but didn't blow my socks off. I was able to enjoy the flavors but had a good burn on the tongue. I got rice as my side. It was overcooked and boring, but the chicken was so good I honestly didn't care. I got rice just in case the sauce was too spicy for me and I needed something to soothe my tongue. When I eat here again, I'll get pickled radish as the side!

Chicken Bee is incredible Korean fried chicken, and it has never let me down…read more The chicken is always fried fresh, which means it comes out piping hot, insanely juicy, and perfectly crispy every single time. You can genuinely taste the difference when something is made to order like this. Whether you eat it right there in the H Mart food court or take it to go, the quality holds up. My go-to is the Spicy Garlic, which has fantastic flavor, bold, savory, and just the right level of heat without overpowering the chicken itself. The sauce clings perfectly to the crispy exterior while the inside stays tender and juicy. It's the kind of place you go back to again and again because it's reliable. No surprises, no drop-off in quality, just consistently great fried chicken done right. If you're a fan of Korean fried chicken or just great fried chicken in general, Chicken Bee is an absolute must.

I was craving katsu chicken and immediately thought of this place that I had seen in Morgan Street…read moreFood Hall and came for lunch. I believe The Katsu and The Bowls next door are sister restaurants, because you order at The Bowls. All the staff were friendly, the prices were fair, and the food came out piping hot and within 10 minutes. The katsu chicken was SO good- so flavorful, juicy, and crispy. I got it over noodles but wish I just got the sandwich because the noodles were a little tangy and way too much of it with not much veggies or anything for it to be spectacular. The other noodle options like ramen and bulgogi noodles looked great though.

This place is in Morgan hall eatery…read more I came to order a katsu burger to go and found out you don't order katsu sandwiches where it says "the katsu", but next door at "the bowls". The worker at the katsu side said to order on the bowls side, but the bowls side was closed. I was confused because it was 12pm on a weekday and online, it said it was open. All the staff was there but the worker said it was closed. Then, a few minutes after, they opened. I wish the worker told me they were going to open soon or something, because I was trying to figure out what else to order. Ordering was easy once that was sorted out and the california katsu sandwich ($15) was ready within 5 minutes. It's a big sandwich, easy to share if you're not too hungry. It came with homemade chips that were crunchy and delicious like kettle cooked chips but unseasoned. The sandwich felt fresh with the Cole slaw and pickles. Lots of east Asian flavors with the sweet chili sauce and cilantro. The katsu was crunchy and the neat was tender. My bf saud he would have preferred a little more sauce. Would eat it again if I lived nearby! Love the outdoor shaded seating area. We found street parking nearby for .75 cents an hour!

Love that there's a restaurant conveniently inside a market…read more For the restaurant, don't expect table service. There's a place to grab your own utensils and complimentary water/tea. I was good with that because the food was delicious and such good value. Shared 3 dishes between 3 people: seafood stew, ddeokboki, and spicy LA galbi. Loved all of the dishes, all delicious with substantial quantity and amount of veggies. Perhaps what stood out the most was the ddeokboki since that's the best value dish I've ever seen at any restaurant--large in quantity that doesn't shy away in the amount of mix-ins (fishcake, cabbage, green onions, etc). Definitely will be keeping this place in mind for the next time I'm in the area.

While the selection is limited, especially if you're looking for hard to find fresh produce, the restaurant has you covered for standard Asian products. Our go-to (only order) is the Korean fried chicken. The restaurant serves a whole cut-up chicken for approximately $20. If you've not experienced Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) previously, you're in for a treat. We typically order plain, as we've found (KFC) can veer too sweet for our palate - but we are definitely in the minority. The crunch factor is hard to beat. On this particular occasion we mixed, original with a flavored option. I love original/plain but did find the plain to be under seasoned and the chicken weirdly cut up. At any rate, it was still delicious and would recommend. We've tried KFC prior and would order here again, but there is a chain restaurant on radar. KFC: 3.8

I love the touch screen ordering process, and the service was great. Both employees that have brought out the food were friendly and helpful. FYI, the prices are a little higher than an average American Chinese restaurant, but this isn't average Americanized Chinese food. This is definitely high quality and authentic! If I lived closer, I'd definitely be a regular customer!

Food: I think Meet Xi An caters to a specific taste. Meet Xi An isn't just any other Chinese place, the flavors and dishes here are clean, just as if you were making it. What that means is that you are getting cleaner food, which does not compare the same way as food that includes additives and lots of seasoning. Overall I think the food here is solid if you want something cleaner. Service: Ordered to-go, food was packaged well and ready in an appropriate time.
