    No one else has done to me what you do  Boneless Chicken Meal w/ honey mustard from #OkayyChickenSamdwich
    Mojo S.

    I don't often go in for tenders, fingers, or other boneless options when it comes to chicken. But with the advent of places like Raising Cane's and Dave's Hot Chicken, I've come around to the idea that some food joints know what they're doing to keep boneless chicken moist and tender, and not dry and mealy like most boneless tenders seem to be. I still prefer a good thigh piece or two when it comes to fried chicken. But I don't turn away when folks say a place is known for their chicken tendies either. Okaay Chicken has some great tenders that are very moist and very melt in your mouth side. I wasn't able to try it sauced due to a miscommunication, but their honey mustard dipping sauce was very good and seemingly homemade. This is a tender that's worthy of a return visit to try the sauced version. The service was the weak point here as the initial encounter was rife with very lackluster service. That's why I failed to know sauce on the chicken was free and sauce on the side was the only thing that cost extra. Indeed, some of my initial questions were met with the employee blankly pointing to the menu board behind her instead of actual words. This was redeemed by a nice follow-up conversation when I had further questions, but that initial encounter was quite jarring. The ambiance was very relaxing and there was tons of space in the dining room. This would be a nice place to eat a relaxing meal any day of the week. All in all, I owe this place another visit just so I can taste how much the sauces change the value of the menu. After that, I may be coming back here more often.

    I got the Honey Chicken 5pc meal and it was really good! The breading on the chicken was crispy and the chicken was moiste and tender. The honey glaze on top made it slightly sweet and worked well with the chicken. The fries were hot and crispy and not overly salted. Everyone was really nice there. They greeted me when I entered and said bye on the way out. I would definitely be coming back again. The meal with the drink was $14.00.

    Chicken sandwich
    Tina N.

    The restaurant is very clean and spacious. There are many seats. They have 2 kiosks you can order from or you can also order from the cashier. I had placed an online order. The cashier was very friendly, and asked if I needed assistance as soon as she finished helping another person. I received my order very promptly. The packaging on the to go order was very nice and has the store branding. They also included coupons for next time. The chicken sandwich was hot and crispy. It was juicy and not dry and it was a decent size. I could not taste the pickle at all. I also added sauce, but did not notice the difference in flavor. Having the sauce is messy because it falls off when eating so I would opt for it plain next time. I wish the sandwich also included coleslaw, but it did not.

    Trio and Wednesday special
    Thuy H.

    We want to try a new chicken place and this place pop up. It is located in a small plaza with multiple food options, so parking can be a little tight. For this place, you order through a kiosk so limited interaction with cashier. We try the trio and the lunch special. The BL chicken is huge so price is reasonable. It is crispy and juicy. I really like their sweet and sour flavor. The waffle fries was hot and crunchy. The honey glaze was alright, need a little more salt. Overall, I would definitely comeback. Will try their wing and sandwich next.

    Had to air fry the raw bloody wings

    Served raw, bloody chicken wings. My experience here was ruined after I returned home to eat my bone in chicken wings only to find that there was blood at the bones of their larger sized drums. Compared to my favorite chicken wings spot (Fire Wings), the wings here are very huge. Although they are still tender, they are way too large for my liking. The flavors that I tried are Nashville hot and K spicy. I wanted to order online but you cannot choose more than one flavor on the 12 wing box, so I came in store and placed my order and there I was able to have two flavors for my 12 piece bone in wing. The restaurant was nice and clean during the opening hour. The sever was welcoming. The chicken wings were crunchy, half sauced and UNDER COOKED!! I bit into a drum wing and there was bloody juices flowing inside near the bone. I called the restaurant to alert them of the issue and after calling three time and being sent to voicemail, I received a call back. I explained that the chicken needs to Be checked before handing it out because somebody will get sick. The guy who answered asked if I can return to the restaurant but I decided to just throw them into the air fryer so they can cook longer. Unfortunately since they were sauced , the sauce burnt onto the chicken and the wings are now not appealing. What a waste of gas, money (including tip), and time. Over $20 for 12 large bloody wings. Never again! I can see why this place isn't busy as all of the other food places next to it. Even the donut shop has customers non stop while I seen only one other person enter in 30 minutes.

    Cheesy Waffle Fries
    Racquel B.

    The chicken was really good. Fresh, tender, and juicy. I wasn't a fan of the sauce. I got some Asian honey sauce to try and it just didn't pair well to me. The ranch also had an off putting taste. The bbq sauce was delicious though. The fries were very hard. We end up throwing them out. The only think that was right was the chicken. If you're eating here I would say pass on the meal and just get chicken.

    Drink included with the meal
    Steven M.

    I saw this place on Instagram and came here when the restaurant wan't busy at around 6pm. I wasn't too impressed with the waffle fries because they were just warm - gettng fries that aren't hot is disappointing. The Thursday sandwich special is a good deal, but it is made with two chicken strips and was messy to eat when drenched with sweet and sour sauce. Overall, it wasn't bad and just okaaaaaaaaaaay.

    Check out Okaay Chicken!! This is your new favorite Korean Fried Chicken go to This was our first time here but most definitely not our last:) We got a little bit of everything but was blown away by the diversity in the menu! This location is its own little restaurant with lots of seating and accessible parking, plus bathrooms for customers! Plus the service was gr8:) What we got: Okaay Trio Box (Sweet N Sour, Asian Honey Glaze, and Sweet N Spicy Glaze) Asian Honey Glaze Chicken Tender Sandwich (comes w tenders, fries and a drink!!) Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl w drink cheesy balls side Our favorite was definitely the chciekn tender sandwich! It was so much food, like actually mouth watering. You should def check out Okaay Chicken

    5 piece boneless crispy chicken

    This was my second time eating here, and I like it! The chicken is hot, juicy, and crispy. The waffle fries are also crispy! But my favorite thing here is that sweet and spicy glaze sauce. I'd buy a bottle of that and dip everything in it if I could! Ordering is done on a kiosk, so staff interaction is limited basically to receiving your order. Food is prepared fresh, or seems to be, but it doesn't take long to receive the order. Inside is clean, bright, and usually pretty empty. There is plenty of seating available. Parking isn't too bad; it's a shared lot with several businesses and can get full wuickly but I haven't had trouble finding a space available. I did notice on the ordering kiosk that I can order a combo and it has the option for "no drink" but the price does not change. I'd like the food, fries/side and sauce but I'm not interested in their drink options so I would opt out if I could. It costs more to order a la carte, so I just end up not drinking the soda so I can save a couple bucks. Meals come with 1 sauce but extra sauce costs extra. The sweet n spicy glaze is the only one I have tried and it would be hard for me to not get it every time! If they had some specialty drink options and not just a Coca Cola machine, I would be far more likely to want a drink here. Maybe some fresh lemonade or a "refresher" type of drink would be nice, but include it as a fountain drink option.

    Interior is brand new and super clean!
    Rishi C.

    Stopped by for lunch today as it had recently opened and wanted to give it a shot. This place is solid. It's located next to the Deli and J Sushi, with plenty of parking. The interior is brand new and super clean, with plenty of seating. Service was friendly and made our meal quickly, so everything was super fresh. Tried the fire wings which were super juicy and crispy, the batter is exactly what you want for Korean Fried Chicken (and most fried chicken IMO). The fire sauce isn't sweet, but kind of tangy, and not too spicy. The chicken sandwich was great, the breading and seasoning were well done. It's a tender vs. a patty, but it all held together well. I think it's a top 3 fast food non-spicy chicken sandwich for sure. Overall a very solid meal and I'd definitely come by again when I'm in the mood for a chicken sandwich or Korean Fried Chicken. Definitely worth a visit!

    Kiosks for ordering
    Cheryl V.

    It was just okay, no pun intended. I came in during the week after their lunch rush and the place was pretty empty but lots of order pickups. The manager seemed quite unpleasant if I'm being honest. While I was waiting for the food he was sort of berating the staff at the front in view of anyone walking in. Kind of off-putting to see, poor girl seemed stressed too. You can order at the kiosks or with the front staff but at the time I wanted to order there was only one staff and she was busy with who seemed like the manager so I went to the kiosk instead. I had lots of questions since the ordering is kind of weird so I should have just ordered with the cashier. I spent $37 for two people which after having tried the food I would say it was overpriced. I got the sweet and spicy sandwich and the okay fire. Like I said the food was very mid. I have had some spectacular Korean fried chicken and this place just wasn't it. The coleslaw tasted like the prepackaged kind you get from the grocery store. The chicken tenders were cooked well and the fries too. I did also order the cheeseballs and those were delicious!!! Very chewy mochi texture it was different but tasted good. I would probably only ever comeback for those if I'm in the area. TLDR: go to Holdaak in Orange instead, much better flavor and pricing

    Ordered on DoorDash today - got a Small Boneless meal (5 pieces), but they surprised me with 8, so major thanks for that! The boneless fried chicken and crispy wings were good sizes and crispier than I expected. I did pay extra for the sweet chili sauce, but it ended up being a bit too bold for my taste. The corn slaw was just okay as well. One fun surprise: they actually give you ketchup for the fried chicken. I swear I'm the only person I know who eats fried chicken with ketchup, so finding a place that gets me? Pretty much a match made in heaven!

    BLC-Asian Honey Glaze-Meal
    John O.

    Definitely a good value here. At this time they have a daily $9.99 special. Hard to find a complete meal for ten bucks these days. It was very busy when we went today and they seemed to be struggling to keep up. You can order at the counter or from a kiosk but if your kiosk order includes a drink you'll end up waiting for them to hand you the cup. They are kind of underselling the chicken as the pieces are quite large and don't look that big in the photos. I upsized my order and ended up taking the extra pieces home. My only complaint is they are over saucing the sandwiches. Our buns were soaked when we got them and one fell apart. Otherwise the food is very good especially for the price.

You can tell they know exactly what they're doing when it comes to grilling the meat. I've also tried their Wagyu Brisket, which was melt-in-your-mouth good! And they now offer rice paper, which is always a plus for wrapping up that deliciously grilled meat. The cold noodles come with white vinegar and hot mustard (gyuja) on the side, so you can add as much tang and kick as you like. Their spicy cold noodles are also delicious and, despite the name, really aren't that spicy. They also have a location in Fullerton, and I've found the quality of the food to be just as good there. But there's something about the Garden Grove location--especially the longtime staff and the expertise they bring to grilling the meat--that makes this one a little more appealing to me. I'm always coming back for their Marinated Galbi and nengmyun. Such a classic Korean combo, and Morangak does it right!

After you order, they give you a variety of sides to complement the meal which is great to snack on while waiting for the meal. If you have a bigger group, the kalbijjim is perfect to share as it is huge and comes with a lot of braised short rib, veggies, and noodles that have soaked up the sauce. The short rib is so tender and is very rich in flavor. The naengmyeon is cool and refreshing especially on a hot day. The seolleongtang is warm and soothing with salt to adjust to your liking and the purple rice to soak up the depth of the soup broth.

    Wow what a great experience! The staff starts to set your table as you're walking up to the door!…read moreTalk about efficient use of time. Sunday early dinner around 430pm. Ordered Combo C- with pork & Kim chee stew as our stew choice. Banchan of: Kimchee (very good, not too spicey, garlicky full of umami), bread & butter type pickle slices, cabbage & red pickled beet combo, mustard green(?), and pickled white radish/daikon. Interesting unexpected banchan. Staff sets up and cooks/cuts the meat for you. Much like Mo Rak Do up the street does. Combo C has a variety of pork pieces. Excited to try pork jowl for the first time. Ample portions. All fresh with the added bonus of aging sticker info for the pork belly. All the meats were VERY good. The belly had a nice distribution of fat to meat ratio. The jowl had high fat content with a slightly firmer bite to it. Great choice. We selected the pork & kimchee stew. Also very good. A side thinly sliced green onion salad also served. The dipping ingredients: course sea salt, wasabi, sweetened shoyu with garlic/green onion bits, & a samjang mixture. All very tasty. Course salt is a nice upgrade. Beautifully presented. Plenty of staff to attend to your table. Menu also has add'l meats to add for a larger group (table of 6 to our right). Honestly I was glad it was my female cousin & I. Too much competition to grab our meat portions if the 2 piglets had to share. A definite return in the near future. Yes, these aren't all you can eat prices. Because it's above AYCE quality meats. This place is a winner all around for service, food quality, adequate venting, parking isn't bad (strip mall).

What brings the experience to another level is their pickled vegetables, kimchi, and scallion salad, which brings acidity to balance out the fatty pork. Then you also have some nice seasonings (soybean paste, wasabi, salt, and seasoned soy) to give some other flavor variations to the meat. We asked for a side of rice, which was perfectly steamed.

There can definitely be a wait during busier/peak times, but my most recent visit on a random Tuesday night was easy, we were seated right away! My friend and I both got the regular (10) Flat Iron "Mokkoji Cut" in Spicy Pork Broth, which is my absolute favorite. It is a bit on the pricier side, especially considering it's not AYCE like most shabu spots. Their prices have gone up recently, and they also charge extra for different broth flavors. That being said, I think the meat quality is unbeatable, and their broth is one of the best I've had. Do I wish the servings came with more mushrooms and udon noodles? Absolutely! But regardless, this will always be a staple shabu spot for me! The ambiance is casual, and the entire space, including the bathroom, is clean and well-maintained. Service has also been consistently good. No matter how busy they are, they always make it a point to check in and make sure everything is good, which I really appreciate.

The food came out promptly which was great but too bad I had no utensils to eat it with. I had asked for a set of chopsticks twice and each server said okay and then disappeared.

Nobody ever came back to give me the ones I had asked for earlier. Ordered sukiyaki and the server asked if I wanted the usual egg that comes with it. That's the best part of sukiyaki so of course I said yes. Again, after much waiting, I flagged down two different people to ask for that egg and hot drops. There were a total of three servers that I saw "working" and three tables dining in. Saw some reviews prior to my visit saying something about how everyone's just in the back hanging out. I guess I get it now. I'd be pretty forgiving if it were closer to closing time and I was a part of those annoying parties that came in during the last half hour of the closing shift...but it wasn't even 6pm yet. Of course they brought the check out pretty quickly once they noticed we were done eating though.
