The Bibimbap was also excellent, loaded with fresh veggies, beef, egg, and sauce. The only minor downside was the egg being slightly undercooked, but the crispy rice at the bottom more than made up for it and added great texture. The Kimchi soup was hands down the best I've had! Perfectly balanced, not overly strong or spicy, and packed with flavor. The addition of pork belly was a huge plus and made it even more satisfying. Service was fast and friendly, and our server was incredibly sweet and attentive. The ambiance was nice and clean, family-owned, not too busy, and very welcoming. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely a spot I'd come back to!

This is my absolute favorite…read morefor fried chicken (wave B is my personal fav for that little spicy kick that equals perfection)...but the greatness doesn't end with their fried chicken. Literally EVERYTHING I have ever ordered here has been super delicious every single time without fail, and I love that I can get authentic Korean food without having to drive all the way to Marina or Seaside. Joanne, the owner, is friendly and accommodating and has gone above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect every time. The service from Paul is great as well, and we always feel so welcome and taken care of whenever we eat there. KB Chicken is upping the quality and variety of food that Prunedale has to offer and is a cozy, hidden gem of a spot with both indoor and cute outdoor seating. Prices are reasonable in relation to the amazing quality and generous portions you get. As prices go up on everything, this is one of the few places I am still happy to spend on for delicious food.

Stopped over on a trip to and from Solvang(two visits to California Gourmet Pizza). Just wanted…read moreto get a quick bite so I had a mini combo pizza. Honestly, I liked it a lot. I would not say its gourmet by any means but the ingredients were definitely fresh and the flavors were good. The ground beef was not very flavorful however. Not a big deal because I enjoy lots of veggies on my combos, and there were definitely plenty. It reminds me a little bit of Round Table pizza back in the 80s or 90s(when they actually put proper amounts of vegetables) or one of those retro pizza joints that you might take the little leaguers to after a game. Kind of nostalgic in a way. Not sure if I'll ever be back in King City again anytime soon, but I would definitely pop back in for a quick personal combo pizza while I wait for the car to charge across the street. There were a bunch of Mexican restaurants on the same street that may warrant a visit next time as well. I don't know, I don't if we'll have enough time!

The service is fast and easy, and the dining area is no frills, but comfortable to eat on your way through on a road trip and I can't say enough good things about this place. I wish everyone would know about them because the family deserves to get all of your business because they are just that good at what they do.

And now to take a short break from finishing a jillion review drafts from the vacation we took in…read moreJanuary I'm still catching up from... to finish a review draft I started last *December*, on my way to visit my parents for Christmas in NorCal. (Conveniently, too, given we're driving the same route in a couple weeks - might well stop here again. It's definitely way better than the usual big-name fast food options that are your only choice for *most* of the drive.) I'd just try to make sure to get there before 1 PM - last time, we learned, we made it accidentally *just* in time for their breakfast menu, which not only means you can get a fried chicken sandwich with a fried egg, clearly making it better, but it's also several dollars *cheaper*. For 9 bucks with fries - compared to 14 for the dinner version - that's probably *cheaper* than the average fast food chicken stop, separate from the fast that it was about a thousand times tastier. Though, while the vibe of this place is very much fast food, the food *itself* isn't fast food - it took exactly as long as you'd expect, given they're making everything fresh to order, but not any longer than that. (I didn't have any complaints about the speed, but it isn't Burger King.) Anyway, we figured since they had two breakfast items (the sandwich and a breakfast burrito) and there were two of us, we'd split both of them, which I wouldn't recommend as much. The breakfast burrito was by no means bad, but it was a bit floppier and not quite as filling - great chicken obviously, being the same chicken, but we agreed, we'd had way better breakfast burritos. The breakfast chicken sandwich was absolutely bomb, though. (Though their "medium" spicy was only a *hint* spicy, in my opinion - I never go straight for the "hot", cause sometimes at hot chicken places it's *stupid* hot, that and I was sharing them with my pepper-averse spouse, but if I went back, I'd just get my own sandwich and make it a little spicier.) Is it the best hot chicken sandwich in California? Probably not... but it *is* probably the best hot chicken sandwich you can get while driving from SoCal to NorCal, so I'm glad it's there.) Also, as far as value... they give you a *lot* of fries. Possibly too many fries. The fries were good, but there was nothing particularly special about them, other than the quantity. We could absolutely have shared an amount of fries *each* of our orders came from, for the two of us. (We didn't finish all the fries.) Only minor complaint, their drinks are all super sugary, and a little pricey at $4 for fountain soda - but at least it's a more premium brand of soda... still probably more than your daily sugar per cup, but at least it *is* sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. It does feel like they're missing out by not having a license to sell beer, though. That sandwich would go *really* well with a craft beer.

The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was good. I ordered the chicken medium since their lowest level was naked. The medium had a pretty good kick to it. The chicken sandwich was topped with cole slaw and pickles. Both my wife and I enjoyed the sandwiches. The fries that came with our sandwich were delicious. It is one of my favorites fries. The two meals came with so much fries that we eventually threw most of them away. It would be nice if Nate's could sell their sandwiches without fries. Nate's was a good choice for us to stop at.

The addition of extra steak on the side made it even more satisfying the meat was tender, plentiful, and really boosted the overall heartiness of the bowl. Super comforting and filling without weighing me down. The shrimp spring rolls were another highlight rolled tightly with fresh herbs, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of shrimp. They tasted refreshing and balanced, perfect with the dipping sauce. You could tell everything was made fresh. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Our food came out quickly even as the restaurant started to get busy. Ambiance was bright and welcoming, with nice modern lighting features at the entrance that gave the place a lively, yet relaxed feel. It's clearly a popular spot, since it filled up quickly after we arrived.

Tip: Order a sandwich and get a cup of chowder instead of fries for $2. Note on the bottled water complaints: Bars make most of their money on drinks.

I have to say I was a little bit disappointed this time. I had a Reuben sandwich with onion rings…read more The pastrami was really tough, like you would take a bite, but you couldn't bite through it and so the whole piece of pastrami came out of the sandwich at once. And the onion rings were pretty boring. I don't think they make them there, I am not sure about that, though. But they had kind of a generic look and feel to them, but the problem was they had zero flavor. Like nobody put salt on them when they took them out of the fryer. That's the first thing you do when you pull something out of a fryer, you season it. The server was nice enough, but they have a thing now where if you ask for water, they want to sell you a bottle of water. I get that things are tough for restaurants, but I almost rather pay a little more for the sandwich and get water, if you know what I mean. I'm no food expert, or running a restaurant expert, these are just my reactions as a local who stops in here fairly regularly. I think if the folks who run this place feel like there's any value to my little thoughts, they would be easy to fix and wouldn't cost anything at all really. I've been coming here for years, and I want these folks to do well.
