YUM YUM YUM!
When arriving at the restaurant it was about 75% full on a Thursday night. Was greeted and seated quickly by the servers. It's a little dim in this location but it was nice that they had lots of televisions around that were playing k-pop in the back (BTS!).
After looking at the menu and placing our orders, they placed complimentary pickled radish and pretzel sticks at our table to snack on. When asked about which fries to get on the menu, the server highly recommended the kimchi fries.
FOOD:
Kimchi fries 7/10
Although this was recommended by the server I felt a bit upsold on this item, as it was the most expensive fries on the menu (haha!). It lacked a lot of kimchi, only a few tiny cut up pieces were found. Had a lot of white sauce doused on top, I was so sure it was ranch, but the server told me it was mayo. Definitely not any of the thick types of mayo though as the sauce was quite runny. I didn't really enjoy that the mayo was so cold when topped on the piping hot fries as it made my food really cold really quickly.
Rice with seaweed and roe 7.5/10
Solely comparing this to other locations (because I LOVE this stuff), it lacked some flavour to it and was quite dry. The seaweed that they used really dried up the rice and didn't have enough sauce to this. Would've been better if there was more sesame oil to top the dish.
Fried chicken with green onions 8/10
Even as someone who does not enjoy wasabi that much, this was quite delicious. To our surprise the sauce that was topping this dish had a very pungent wasabi taste to it, it was not written on the menu or expected. However, it was quite delicious, and I can see that if you love wasabi, you would probably love this chicken. The large portion was generous and topped with a lot of green onion - YUM!
Honey garlic fried chicken 10/10
The star of the show for me! This was absolutely delicious and what makes me want to come back asap! It came perfectly fried, perfectly sauced and the bonus was the few deep fried tteokbokki that it also came with. It was amazingly chewy, crispy on the outside and had the flavours of the honey garlic. It also had three fried potato wedges - not sure if it was meant to be in there or not.
The fried chicken here overall is super juicy and has large portions which is so great. I can't wait to come back to try additional chicken flavours! read more
