    Wow!! The Chicken ganjeong was sweet and savoury. The chicken was tender and the rice cakes were perfectly chewy. The house sauce was so good I even ate my grilled veggies. The place is cute and next time I really want to try the fried chicken sandwich, with more of that wonderful house sauce.

    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

    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

    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!

    Chicken Gang-jeong
    Ellen H.

    This place is AMAZING! Stopped in for lunch after a long walk so we wandered into Cross Street Market and ended up at TCL. The chicken gang-jeong was incredible. It was freshly fried, covered in the most delicious sauce, and was so moist. The peppers and onions added a nice crunch to offset the softness of the chicken, and the pickled daikon was a great palate cleanser. I'm already dreaming of when I can come back

I had a taste for a…read morenice soft biscuit and I remembered they're known for their chicken and biscuits so it was only right. Bunny's is in the Fells Point area of the city right off the water. It's a cute vibrant restaurant located right on the corner with outdoor patio seating and a full indoor dining area, bar, and second floor seating. We did make a reservation (which I would suggest) however if you get there early enough (between 10:00am - 10:30am) you should be able to get seated at a table or the bar. The staff there are very friendly and have great energy. The two hostess even offered us suggestions and their faves from the menu. Our server Jess was also very helpful and attentive during our time there. As far as food, we started off with a classic mimosa & paired it with the cinnamon bun which was delicious. Soft on the inside with a nice crust & the perfect creamy frosting with a hint of citrus. We were told they have a pastry chef in house so everything is made fresh (buns, biscuits, pastries). For our entrees we ordered the biscuits & gravy and "The Bunny's Benny." These were the perfect savory dishes! The sausage gravy was creamy, seasoned well, & had a hint of spice. The hollandaise sauce was sweet with a twang which paired well with the tomato jam and egg (I had mine scrambled). I ordered it with a side of the miso hot honey for chicken bites .. so good! Both dishes were large portions so if you wanted to share you could or plan to have some for leftovers. We also got to meet Ron, who's the general manager. Very nice man, attentive to his guest, and welcoming personality. Overall we had a great experience 10/10 and will definitely be back!

    If you are looking for an authentic Korean BBQ place with good quality food and reasonable price,…read morethis is definitely one of them. There was no wait time when we went during early dinner hours. Price: very reasonable for all you can eat, see pictures for price details Service: not bad, friendly and efficient Atmosphere: dark industrial vibe, great for gathering and drinking with friends, multi-level building. Food & Drinks: good quality meats, and the all you can eat come with tones of other items like corn, steamed eggs, ramen...etc. Good soju selections, they have my fav sugar and low sugar ones. Parking: we went during early dinner hr so had no problem finding street parking. Foodies of @WineDinenVacay had an enjoyable experience and highly recommend this place.

The banchan was yummy and included a variety of options. The corn cheese was also delicious. The meat seemed high quality and our server stayed on top of switching out the grill and helping us with menu suggestions. My main reason for four stars and not five is I think they could do better with their gluten free friendly options. One side of the menu was clearly marked for gluten free options while the other side wasn't, making it a hassle to flip back and forth and figure out what I could eat. Despite having quite a few gluten free options, they didn't have any gluten free soy sauce (or tamari). This would've really taken the meal to the next level as the gluten free meats come without any marination and are very very plain on their own. We also ordered large combo for 5-6 people which had a good amount of meats and sides but was supposed to come with six servings of rice. We never received the rice but weren't provided a reason or a discount. I'd return in the future but probably smuggle in my own personal bottle of tamari so I could enjoy the flavors of the meat more. Overall, the price at $215 for six of us (plus drinks) was pretty good, regardless of these small hiccups.
