After eating here for over a year, and eating here atleast 3 times a week LOL. i have so much to say!
Don't pass up on trying them! Ive never loved chicken from anywhere else as much as this place. The owners are so sweet. The employees are so patient and informative.
First of all, id like to point out how they're handling the food during COVID-19. To ease people's anxiety like mine, i went ahead and asked. They're always using gloves and constantly cleaning the pens and trays to sign our reciepts. Of course always wearing masks and they wipe down the menus!
COVID Precautions for DELIVERY: i realized ever since the quarantine started, they've been boxing the food with all four sides. ( They used to do two in order to help air out the food ) I found out it's a new guideline they're supposed to be following in order to ensure limited contact with the dashers that are delivering your food. THEY ONLY CLOSE THE BOXES ON TWO SIDES FOR PHONE ORDERS/ CUSTOMER PICK UP.
If you see that as an issue for having your food delivered, i highly recommend still calling or placing a pickup order online!!
Instead of walking in, you walk up to the door and wait your turn to either order or pick up food. They have barriers in between for everyone's safety. I arrived one time while it was raining and they had us walk in and only one person was allowed in at a time to order or pick up their food. They told me since my food wasn't ready at the time, to wait in the car for them to call me when it was ready since there wasn't any coverage from the rain.
Wait time: Highly recommend ordering ahead of time, even calling earlier in the day if you know you'll be eating later! They do get busy fast! But so worth the wait.
Flats and Drumettes for the order of wings! Not all flats. Make sure you read the menu. At first i didn't know i just ordered thinking it was all flats. But they do state in their menu its not just the flat. The drumettes look like mini drums but they're actually part of the wing!
The lunch menu is such a good deal!! I always order the Mini SSAM or the 6 piece boneless Yang Nyum with kimchi rice for $1 extra and it also comes with either the pickled radish or coslaw.
We can't order the lunch past 2:30 though. Also not on weekends or holidays.
Explaining the difference between the crispy and crunchy fried chicken!
Crispy has a soy garlic glaze over the top ( contains peanut). Comes in mild or spicy. Also for the parents out there, the mild is not spicy what so ever! My little cousins love this flavor!!
Not spicy enough? Ask the to make it the spiciest they can!! My boyfriend always orders that! Definitely ups the spicy game for that flavor!! The glaze looks like it's glistening over the chicken. The texture is flakey.
Crunchy is their 5 grain flour traditional fried chicken. The texture is more of a smooth batter but crunchy if that makes sense? Haha
Both of these batters have their own unique taste! Super delicious. Also, they can make the crispy chicken without the glaze on it as well or on the side!
The Yang Nyum in mild has to be my favorite! Their most spicy chicken in the restaurant is the spicy version of this and they can also make it even hotter than it already is!!
I feel like i don't see many people talking about the Cheese Buldak on these reviews?! It's SUPER DELICIOUS. It features their boneless meat with onions and rice cakes. Topped with the cheese!! Ugh so amazing. Did i mention it is spicy! If you have an average tolerance for spicy, its not too spicy that you can't handle in my opinion.
Looking for something on the healthier side? Try their Chicken Salad (representation, freaking beautiful) , Boneless SSAM (Boneless thigh meat that serves two/comes with assorted veggies and radish wraps/2 sauce) , or their half or full orders of the Roast oven chicken with your choice of side sauces.
The Honey Butter powder chicken: I hear its one of the top popular chicken options. But its either people love it or not. Depends on what you're really going for! If skeptical, you can order the Honey Butter powder on the side or ask for light powder! (Thats what i usually do!)
The Cheddar is to DIE FOR!! that cheddar powder gives me my cheesy needs and its not too sweet either! And dont let me forget to mention.. THEY HAVE CHEDDAR FRIES?! If i don't order the Cheddar fries with my meal, my life is not complete!! Lol.
On the not of sides, they have Honey Butter fries , Cheddar fries, Sweet Potato and Regular fries!
My top would have to be all the fries , Japchae, rice cake and their Kimchi fried rice.
I have yet to try their new sides they have posted on their shield barrier at the door! The takoyaki looks delicious!
Also i believe they do party trays!
