    Chicken and shrimp
    Tiffany D.

    Located inside of Cross street market, this is a good lunch time option. They have hibachi style bowls and a nice amount of other menu options. You can order digitally at the counter, but staff is there to answer questions. I got a chicken and shrimp mixed bowl, and requested no soy sauce, which they were able to accommodate! The food was very tasty, service was good, and you have the option to dine in inside the spacious market if desired.

    The miso sauced chicken was delicious even the next day the perfect amount of sauce without making the wings lose their perfect crunch. The fries were super good as well everything is made to order absolutely delicious. You can order and pay at the kiosk which makes the process more quick and efficient

    Chicken Gang-jeong & Wing Combo

    Really good! We had the Chicken Gang-jeong and the truffle parm wings. Both were really good - great little spot for a quick and tasty meal.

    I like it but it was a good ratio of rice to japchae and barely any salad though I shouldn't expect much for the size...the chicken was very crispy

    Chicken sand-which (I asked for cole slaw on the side)

    This was recommend to me by my wife. She had gotten it before and raved about it. We stopped by today, and while I enjoyed it, she was a bit disappointed. For what we got, I would say it is a solid 3.5/4 stars. OK value, OK quality, OK service. The prices are relatively reasonable for the markets, and the concept is appealing. Sandwiches were not huge, but were a reasonable amount of food. The spicy fries were good too, but a bit small. The only real issue for me was the service. It took about 15 min for them to prepare our food. And during that time I only saw them put out maybe 2-3 other orders... not terrible, just not very quick considering the minimal prep required. Will consider going back, maybe next time my experience will be closer to the one my wife raved about.

    This is so exciting to be the first reviewer! So I just came from an event that was catered by the Chicken Lab. They are officially opening on Dec 17th. I liked this sandwich infinitely more than the famous Ekiben. I got the sweet and spicy fried chicken sandwich and it was incredible! Like 10/10! Reminded me of a much better take on the chick-fila sandwich with the sweet and spicy sriracha sauce. My friend enjoyed her garlic chicken sandwich. They also had kimchi fried rice for the vegetarian folx. Overall, the food was a big hit! Welcome to Federal hill, Chicken lab!! I can't wait to try more of the menu

    Chicken combo - soy garlic and seasoned fries
    Janet L.

    I was searching for wings on Yelp and came across this new restaurant!!! I was intrigued by the menu and excited to eat some Korean chicken and ordered delivery! We got the chicken gang-jeong with the original sauce. The rice cakes were amazingly chewy and I could not stop eating them! The boneless chicken pieces were well seasoned in a sweet and spicy sauce. The veggies were a nice relief from the heaviness of the rice cakes and chicken. Overall an awesome dish! I also couldn't pass up the chance to get Korean fried chicken so got the wing combo. I opted for the soy garlic sauce which was pretty subtle but the wings were well fried. I opted for the seasoned fries and might forego that option next time. I put both the wings and fries in my air fryer due to heat them up from the delivery. Would highly recommend! Excited this spot is in Baltimore!

    I like this place and I have been here many times. The service seems to be better. You order at a kiosk and pay there. You can select your dish and options for preparation. It takes about 10 min for them to make your food. I usually take the food home but there is a cool seating area with places near by where you could get an alcoholic beverage. I get the chicken dumplings with the traditional spicy sauce. It is so good. Crunchy, sticky, spicy, sweet. The portion size is very large too. This is a quick easy option for sit down restaurant quality food to go.

    I believe I had seen this place on tv or some kind of food advertisement and was so glad when I realized I was just blocks away. Ordered threw their kiosk pad and took about maybe 15 minutes for wait time. The sweet chili sauce on the wings were nice chicken was fried extra hard but I gotta say not much to really rave about. The fried rice cakes were actually good and I'm glad they weren't as bland and chewy compared to my last experience eating rice cakes. The fries seasoned with some kind of powder seasoning but it was flavorless and sort of disappointing. The boneless wings were supposed to be seasoned with lemon butter but had no seasoning on it at all they gave you a wedge of lemon on the side and that was about as much of that seasoning you were to get. It's a nice spot but nothing what I thought it would be.

    Kimchi Cheese Fries
    Nishika R.

    There were so many options at the Cross Street Market that looked delicious, but my heart belongs with Korean food. So I really had to try this place out as I am a sucker for fried chicken and rice cakes. Both are the ultimate comfort food that you can't find too easily around the city. Onto the food! We ordered the Chicken Gang-jeong and the Kimchi Cheese Fries. We had to wait 10/15 minutes for our food, which felt like forever since our mouths were salivating over the smell, but it was also a good sign since it probably meant that our food was made fresh! The chicken was so juicy and tender, with a light yet crunchy fried outer layer. Absolutely phenomenal. And the fried rice cakes were my absolute favorite as I am obsessed with the texture! They were so chewy and absorbed all of the delicious flavor. And the sauce was very thick and was a perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and umami. The best was taking a combination bite of both the chicken and the rice cake together-- so yummy! For the Kimchi Cheese Fries, the cheese covered the fries like a warm blanket and was melted to perfection. The Kimchi on top added another dimension of crunch and tanginess, as the cheese and fries were only soft and umami. Since we did order takeout this time, the food did taste fairly fresh. But my only complaint was that the fries were a tad soggy-- but this is inevitable considering that they are covered in warm cheese and were packaged. I am absolutely obsessed with the food I got from this place. My mouth is literally watering as I write this review! It was worth the wait as the food was so fresh and delicious! Would highly recommend checking out this new restaurant when visiting the Cross Street Market!

When we arrived, the hostess helped us pull off the surprise perfectly. She made sure we had great seating and really looked out for the birthday girl. Our server, McKenna, was amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and made the whole brunch feel special. The food was tasty, the drinks were strong, and the atmosphere was lively. Our only small critique was that the chicken needed a little more seasoning, but everything else was solid. Parking was easy and the prices were fair, especially for a busy Sunday morning. I would definitely return and recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming brunch spot.

We share some deviled eggs we tried all three types - lump crab, traditional with pickled mustard seed, and pimiento cheese with crispy chicken skin crumbles) and hush puppies with honey butter. I really enjoyed the traditional and pimiento deviled eggs (the lump crab just didn't work for me with a deviled egg). I found the hush puppies to be over-fried and a bit dry, but the honey butter was delicious and made them work (you just needed quite a bit). A friend and I shared the Collard Green Caesar (chopped collard greens, pickled red onion, boiled peanuts, cornbread croutons, hot sauce Caesar dressing, and Parmesan) and 2 pieces of fried chicken (served with a biscuit, pickled, and honey butter). I'm not sure collard greens are the best green for a play on a Caesar - it's just so fibrous and bold - but I get what they're doing here: a Southern Caesar, and it was good. The fried chicken is probably why a majority of patrons are there at any given time, and I can see why. It was well fried, well-seasoned, and very flavorful. The service, drinks, and vibes were - as always - very good. The food at Bunny's is good, but I think I'll always think of it first as a great place for a drink and a snack.
