This by far is the best place I've eaten so far!
It is crackin all day and you don't even wait so long as 15 min max. I came here with my bf and we only waited about 2 min before they seated us. Theres a picture menu so its pretty easy to see what your ordering and we had the Combination Chicken plate which is a 10 piece chicken with all the flavors such as Original, Hot, Sweet & Sour..
They have a salad bar and you serve yourself with water, rice, and to the iceberg lettuce, romaines, cabbage, corn,jalapeno, broccoli and carrots and dressing.
The chicken came out while we were still getting salad so as we sat down we started to munch on the chicken and OMG the best chicken ever! I'm telling you for $14.99 and 10 pcs. its so worth it! They have their own special sauce . delicious..
The decor has pics of people all around the wall. cute. Try this place out now!
People thought this was:
Dammit why does K-food have to be so tasty and so full of gluten?!
Anyway, the salad bar is great. Mixed greens, fresh crisp romaine lettuce, shredded cabbage salad, pickled moo (korean radish, like daikon), corn and your choice of ranch or sweet dressing. I think the sweet one has honey in it (death).
Also, beer and soju served here! Unlike Kyo-chon, where I can eat the chicken but there's nothing to drink.
I like the pics of patrons pasted up on the walls, oh and the random projector and typewriter in the back room.
People thought this was:
What can I say, but repeat other people's raves of Fried Chicken, Lemon Soju, Biggest Hite Beers EVA!
This isn't the best Korean Fried Chicken but will definitely hit the spot.
Kyon-Chon in LA is still #1 in my heart!!
99 Chicken has won a permanent place in my heart for its killer combination of deep-fried chicken, cold beer, and all the salad and barley tea I want.
If you sit at the third table from the door (facing the bathrooms) there's a particular scratched-out photograph on the wall with these ghetto dudes posing like idiots. It gets funnier as you drink more beer.

I've had the fortune of eating at OB Chicken House in Berkeley, which is unfortunate for 99 Chicken because it really rails 99 Chicken.
The spicy fried chicken was a little dry. We also ordered the spicy octopus/squid dish. I also dug the mini buffet.
Sorry, I wish I could be more descriptive, but every time I think of this place, I'm reminded of how awesome OB Chicken House is.
I would have given this place 3 stars, but it certainly doesn't deserve an average rating; 3.5 at best.
People thought this was:
This place is never disappointing. Unlimited rice and salad.
They are really big on consistency. I've been here many times, and the chicken always tastes as good as when i first came here.
My friends and I gave the main owner dude the nickname of "uncle" based off of the uncle from the Jackie Chan cartoon. His friendly gestures make you feel very welcome at this restaurant.
Find my picture on the wall! Haha
This little shop has a rather plain ordinary name, as it doesn't show how good this little place can be.
Friendly staff and like everyone mentioned, rice and salad is self served.
Food is very good and they have good variation of fried chicken. Decent price large portions.
Not a five star because it does take a little while for the food to come but when it does, it's def worth the wait.
A must try for late night hunger
Came here with a friend at about an hour before closing.. it's a small friendly environment with cute Korean owners. I was really feenin for kimchi soup but my friend warned me that I'd get attitude from the workers for ordering something that the cooks would actually have to MAKE at 11pm at night.. whatever though. My friend then told me that 99 Chicken was known for its rice and fried chicken.. so I put my kimchi soup craving aside and just ate what he ordered.
We got the combo fried chicken plate and kimchi fried rice. The chicken was freakin' steaming hot.. burnt my lip and finger.. my fault. At least it was fresh fried chicken. :) The kimchi rice was pretty good too.. it was perfectly spiced.. not all hot and inedible. The salad bar is a bit lackluster, but hey it's included with the meal so you can't beat that. I like corn, anyways. And of course the OB was delicious as always.. heh heh.
I have added 99 Chicken to my list of late night craving spots. Woohoo!
People thought this was:
Their original fried chicken is the best!!! perfectly fried and goes well with a beer.
There are two 'delivery' foods that Koreans miss and crave like crazy when they leave the motherland.... Jjajangmyeon (black noodles) and fried chicken.
My quest for Korean fried chicken in the Bay Area ended when I found this cute little joint in Santa Clara. The chicken is fried right when you order it, and most importantly, they've got the sauce RIGHT. That's right, the spicy sauce tastes just like how I remembered it to be. The skin is still crispy and hot with juicy spicy sauce smothered over it. Too bad they don't deliver, but hey- this isn't Korea, I will go and get it myself when I need my chicken. People complain about the lack of kimchi, but as much as I love it myself, fried chicken should be eaten with the pickled radish they have at the salad bar. I think the one I get is #2, whichever one that is fried chicken with spicy sauce. Yummiliciously nostalgic and pure awesome.
FIRST TIME EVER having the other KFC: Korean Fried Chicken! Haha..that was corny. But it was GOOD! The biggest hit was their salad buffet for dine-in customers!! I shall shamelessly admit to you that I went back for THIRDS. Yes..each time with a full plate of crunchy lettuce, red onions, corn, and some other items I quickly scattered all over my plate before someone recognized me as the girl who was piling salad on her plate just 5 minutes before.
The next thing I love about this place is that it's open late! A group of us were contemplating where to eat and it took about a good hour. I swear the sun was up when we decided we were hungry..then it was nowhere to be seen and we still hadn't chosen a place to eat! Fortunately for us, 99 Chicken was open late (I believe until midnight at least).
The old couple that works here really is cute, it's literally a mom and pop type restaurant! I love it! Their prices are decent and their chicken is so flavorful and crispy! The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the Love Chicken. I didn't enjoy the sauce too much. Our group ordered about 40 pieces of chicken and the Love Chicken was almost not touched. No love for Love Chicken...sad.

Some advice for Mom and Pop: stop being so cheap!!!!
(1) Hire some more workers. You can't do it all. Your service leaves a lot to be desired. Long wait times, forgotten orders (we once sat there for 1.5 hours with no food on our table), constantly having to remind you about dishes ordered. Hire some competent wait staff.
(2) You charge me $13 for 10 pieces of fried chicken. Don't charge me $1 for each take-out rice and for each sauce when they are given freely when I eat in. And please don't say it's because you have to pay for the to-go boxes. If I don't eat there, you don't have to bus my table, wash my dishes and leaves you tables open to serve more customers and make more $$.
On Friday, you said "long time no see". Your chicken is good, but your service generally sours me from returning. I come back only when I've had enough time to forget how bad the service was the last time I was there. But no more. I'm on the hunt for a new Korean fried chicken place to give my hard earned dollars to and will even happily settle for Popeyes instead of having to deal with your poor service.
This is the best fried chicken ever. And the owners don't even look like white plantation owners. If you haven't guesses it, this place services korean fried chicken.
Get 1 order for yourself, it's that good. So I head KFC (korean fried chicken) fries the chicken 2 times. The first time is a super hot oil that basically melts the fat under the skin away. The second fry makes the chicken delish. oooOOOO
I try to tell myself that this method makes it healthy, but it's so good I can't resist... Oh and they have lots of pics... look for me somewhere on the wall! haahhaahah.
My 3rd time going here. I took the roomates and we each ordered 10 pieces. The owners were super… Read more »
I came here after work with my coworkers and it was my first time there. When we got there, I noticed that the whole wall is filled with pictures of previous customers-which says a lot since literally, the WHOLE WALL is covered with them!
I shared a combo-chicken plate with my coworker and it was delicious! The plate had 3 pieces of chicken for 4 flavors (spicy, sweet, mild, and regular). As I tasted the regular, being hella fiipino-the chicken tasted like the chicken in Jollibee 'cept without that "oily" after taste (1 star!). Next was the mild-which was sprinkled with minced garlic and, being hella filipino, the sauce they put in it tasted like the banana ketchup and the sweet chili sauce COMBINED (1 star!). Then the sweet chicken...caught me off guard cause it was tossed with honey so it had a delicious-addicting flavor (1 Star!). And last was the spicy...and to my surprise, it was like the mild but with a spicy KICK-in-the-FACE!! (1 Star!)
My coworkers also told me that the rice, water, and salad are free, but they're self-served...and I was-HOLY CRAP! (1 Star!)
Despite being located in a typical strip mall with horrible parking, this place deserves some recognition!
This place was actually not that good to me the first time I came, but I have since come two more times and it does seem better now. It could just be having a good group of people or ordering the right things that makes this place good. But in the end, I think that this place is great to grab some fried chicken and have a beer.
I was actually able to find a picture of a group that I went with the first time too, that was a nice plus.
Btw, their pork kimchi rice dish is amazing and I prefer the plain fried chicken to the ones with the sauce on them even though I'm a sauce lover
I just had lunch here today and couldn't help but review it now. It was really good. I love going to small mom and pop shops. It's one of those places where if no one you know takes you there or tells you about it, you won't go in. Once you do, you'll keep coming back and bringing new people there. Their chicken is really crispy and the sauces are good. I really liked all of their flavors. They also have a small all you can eat salad bar which is pretty good. I like their house sauce. It's very different. It taste sweet, creamy, and has like a little jellowy kick to it. I had the cabbage with the creamy sauce wrapped in the lettuce..haha it taste good like that! I would definitely come back. Also, the price is not bad. For two people it came out to like $17 (ten pieces of chicken plus the salad).
Becareful on the honey glazed chicken and the original, it stays hotter for a while longer than the other two. It caught my by surprise when I bit into the honey chicken after trying the sweet/tangy and the spicy one. I thought it would have cooled down already since I didn't have that problem with the other two.
People thought this was:
Came here with my yelp ancestors (Sam R. and Eric C), I was fairly impressed on the quality of the fried chicken.
6 dollars can get you around 5 chicken wings, unlimited salad, rice, free tea, corn, and a full stomach. The sauce is refreshing, the price is fair reasonable, and the FREE STUFF!! The lady even brought us a free plate of fried chicken at the end because we were so cool.
Being on El Camino, this place is great visit after a night of drinking! Can't believe this place already has 600+ reviews!
People thought this was:
I've been wanting to go here ever since I tried San Tung's chicken.
99 Chicken is... different. The sauces are more tangy/spicy. I tried the Love wings and the Spicy Sauce Wings and I think I preferred the Love wings. And man, these wings had a kick! The type that hurts going in and going out ya know? My friends advised me that if it's a hot evening - get the wings to go because it gets stuffy. I'm actually really glad we got these to go because I spent the evening eating these wings in front of a fan to cool the sweat off...
Any con? The wings aren't crispy. =( I thought that they might not be crispy because we took them to go but the friends I went with said the wings were generally that texture. Maybe next time I'll get sauce on the side?
I'd say these wings are pretty delicious and I will definitely come back but I don't crave them as much as I crave the ones from San Tung. And it isn't because of the taste - the sauce here has got the right amount of tang and kick - I just really like my wings to be crispy!.
EDIT ::
On second thought, I think 99 chicken is more of a 4 star kinda review - I think I just really wanted San Tung wings so I was disappointed that it wasn't the same. However, I do remember pigging out on the chicken - so I need to visit again to justify changing the star rating.
Granted they stayed open for us even though we came here after The Fray concert. But I was quite dissapointed to the actual place compared to the reviews I've been reading and such. What some people failed to mention is the weak ass salad bar with not even enough rice, some brocolli and daikon.
Although the reviews may be skewed, the accuracy only lies in the chicken and the beer. I guess I could just spoil myself that way and eat drumsticks to my hearts desire with the spicy sweet sauce (btw, it is $2 more if you order it over the regular, but the sauce is sitting right at your table)
Ordered the following:
-Pork Kimchee Soup with tofu - surprisingly good
-spicy sauce chicken - sauce was nothing, chicken was good
-regular chicken (hugeee) - i prefer the saucy ones
-omelette kimchee fried rice - something to try but was definitely worth it. maybe I just had a egg fix I needed to make up for.
People thought this was:
I loveplaces that try to do something simple but does it well. That idea carry on here at 99 Chicken. Order the love wing, eat it with the rice, enjoy the salad bar, and drink some beer at 99 chicken on a late night, and everything will be right for that momemt.
I love this family run place, the lady cook is adorable and treat me as one of her kid. She made sure to ask me what I need everytime, and always remind me to eat the food while it's hot. Uhh..I digress..good chicken!! Five stars!!
People thought this was:
This **** was the bomb! Best chicken I've had in a very long time.
Nothing beats fresh, hot fried chicken. The sweet drummies were the best. I couldn't try the spicy ones because I am allergic, but they looked awesome.
The all-you-can-eat salad and rice is a nice bonus. Very reasonable prices. I would only imagine someone not liking this place because they don't like chicken. In which case, why would you go there?
Try it out! If I'm around the area, I will definitely go again!
25 bucks for 1.6 liters of beer (4 glasses), 10 pieces of fried chicken, and 1 entree. Oh, and you can't forget about the FREE salad bar. FREE rice, FREE salad, FREE tea, FREE popcorn. and my favorite...the FREE pickled radish.
this stuff is what i remember from korea. yuki told me i had to try this fried chicken that they would deliver on a motorcycle. i took one bite into that yummy piece of chicken and i was heartbroken. i was heartbroken because that chicken was so so far away. i have not found fried chicken like that since...until this evening. 99 chicken still doesn't beat it...but it's pretty dang close. the seasoning of the chicken in korea was much better. i loved the freshness though...and it wasn't oily. i was shocked when the waiter brought out that big ass bottle of ob beer.
another plus is that they are open late. beer, chicken, rice, and radish...what a freakin amazing meal. AND...the service wasn't horrible(like most korean places are). the older guy even came to our table and asked us if the food was delicious. he knew it was our first time and i appreciated that he came by.
when you come here, go for the chicken...nothing else. i'll definitely be returning. goodbye kfc.
3 stars pretty far drive from Daly City but if you want wings and don't mind the drive for late nite fried chicken this spot is ok, it is greasy but not super greasy if you get the plain fried chicken it taste plain the super spicy and regular spicy taste the same instead of tabasco with a kick it kinda taste like chiracha sauce lil spicy and tangy at the same time
place is regularly packed everything with chicken is priced bout over 10 dollars. there is free sides like salad, sweet corn, steamed rice and water, they also do have a unique beer i think it was called GB or QB looked like a 1 liter of bud light in bottle haha. also there is a ketcup bottle and in the taller squeegie is the chiracha sauce both good.
food *** late nite fix for fried chicken
price $$ pricey but huge pieces of drumettes and wings
service *** only the ower speaks english a lil english which was interesting
if there are no chairs available you will be waiting an easy 5-20 min
ambiance *** pictures on the wall of folks that have eaten here
beware food takes an easy 20min if it packed if empty dont know how long it takes

Oh 99 Chicken.
I've been coming here since it was barely recognized by the public. My friends and I know the owners pretty well since we've been coming here forever now. One thing about the owners is that they are the most nicest, friendliest, selfless people in the world!
My friends and I came here with a HUGEEE group once like a party of 14. (This was before yelp so the restaurant was empty enough to accommodate all of us. Not so much nowadays) We ended up staying here until like 1:00am. They ended up opening the restaurant wayyy past their business hours just so we can continue eating and drinking. Thanks ahjuhma and ahjuhshi.
I've got to say, their fried chicken is just awesome. Friends from socal will literally drive up and force me to take them here. Their cucumber soju is reallllllly good especially on a hot summer night. (refreshing!)
Pretty delicious... but not as awesome as everyone makes it out to be.
The chicken is pretty good and you get free rice and salad. I've only had the regular fried chicken and you'll want some sauce or salt and pepper on the side for sure.
The place is pretty small and it can get busy. I wouldn't recommend bringing in any really big groups during the busy times. The service kind of depends. It's been very good at times and at others we would spend 15 minutes trying to wave someone down to take our order.
After all the rave reviews from friends, I was really looking forward to 99 Chicken.
To me, it tastes like any other deep fried chicken wing with sticky spicy sweet sauce. Nothing memorable. They also forgot our squid dish. I won't even mention what I saw one of the waiters do with the trash can at the table right next to me. All in all, it was an unpleasant dining experience.
I can see the draw though, cheap food, beer, all you can eat rice and salad. There's definitely a niche for a place like this, it just wasn't for me.
People thought this was:
I feel like one could you anywhere between 3-5 stars based on your need.
This place is open late, has fried chicken and serves beer. It's pretty much a dream for anyone who's been out drinking and needs to feed a late night fried chicken fix. They have assorted flavors which were all pretty good.
I went for a normal dinner and was curious to compare it to the chicken wings at San Tung (here in the city where I live). Admittedly, San Tung has the superior recipe. That won't matter to most of you since 99 Chicken is located in the k-town part of Santa Clara.
Like another poster said, the salad bar seriously needs some kimchi.
This brotha was in the mood for some fried chicken on Saturday. After some solid shopping at Nordies, we decided to hit this place up for a lil snack. We order the #1 ( 5 wings and 5 drumsticks) which had a very homestyle taste, you know, something mama would make. The chicken was lightly seasoned and lightly coated with flour, then fried at high heat. There was no drenching in buttermilk or even 11 herbs and spices to be found; simplicity was key. Our order took about 15 minutes and came to our table pipin' hot. Needless to say, it was licking fingers good. The pieces were golden brown and very juicy.
IMO, comparisons with chain restaurants would be unfair because the chicken here is intended to be enjoyed in the restaurant, with your peeps and drinking beer.
So at this point, you're wondering why the 3 stars? Well, it's because we ordered more than just fried chicken. 15 minutes after the chicken came we were still missing some tasties. We were reassured they they were coming. However, when we decided to cancel and pay for what we ate, they elected to tell me they ran out of them which was clearly an excuse cuz I saw what we ordered bagged in the freezer in the back. Why do I know this? Cuz, we were sitting in the back, near the freezer, and I'm a nosey som' beeyatch :)
If I do make another guest appearance, I'll definitely stick to what I know they do best, the #1. btw, I tried their sauces on the side....It was just ehhh for me.
Chuga, chuga, choo, choo...all aboard on the Seoul train.

I've eaten here twice and the chicken is pretty good but daymn, the service is crap!!!
1st visit - Weekday lunch. Shared the $15 combo plate to sample all their flavors. Plain was well seasoned, Honey was okay, BBQ was disappointing (looks good but tastes like ketchup), Hot was a winner.
We didn't finish the chicken and asked for two boxes so we could split the leftovers (4 pieces). Nope! The guy was trippin and refused to give us a second box.
2nd visit - Ordered the $15 sampler again, this time to go. After ordering, we couldn't get a hold of our friends that we were going to visit so we decide to eat there instead. NOPE again! This time the lady was trippin, telling us that if we ordered to go, we couldn't eat there! Instead of accommodating our change of plans, she basically kicked us out of the place!
$15 for average chicken, and service without a smile.

Hearing the words "fried chicken" makes me want to praise the Lord and break out into gospel song. Hallelujah! The Korean style thin crispy coating here was a nice change from the heavily-battered Southern fried chicken I'm accustomed to. I didn't have any antacids on me that day, so we had to eliminate the spicy options and settled on the ten-piece Sauce Chicken - an assortment of crunchy wings and drumsticks dressed in a sweet, sticky red sauce. I'm a spoiled brat who only likes to gnaw on meaty drumsticks so I did exactly that and did not even glance at the wings. A little too sauce-y, but delicious and messy. The restaurant should really consider passing out some Wet Wipes or damp towels for easier clean-up.
For those of you who care, the meals come with complimentary rice and salad-bar privilege. Although the selection is small, free fiber is free fiber. Boomshakalaka! Salad tossing power!

All I can say is Yummy. My favorite place to go for fried chicken. Fresh and cooked to ordered. Self service salad bar. Good to go for a nice tall glass of OB beer and a five piece mix.
I gotta say 5 stars to this crackalackin place!
Came here for an impromtu bday gathering and was not disappointed. Waiters asked a couple to move to a different table in order to accommodate our larger group.
I have to say..Korean Fried chicken is the way to go! Healthier subconciously..the texture and seasoning is perfect and nothing is more addicting than actual addictive substances. Couple that w/ a couple huge bottles of OB, and you're in for a great night.
Doesn't break the bank and tastes like money, this one is a sure winner =)
We had the combination (#7). With 10 pieces, it was a good amount of food for 2 people. This really might be the best fried chicken I've ever had, and I grew up in Central Texas eating fried chicken all the time. The plain and the sweet (honey-coated) were the best. The "sauce" and the spicy were less exciting. The spiciness was maybe a 3/10. The salad bar was great, too, with lots of veggies and good dressing.
We could've used some moist towelettes when we were done.
I was a bit disappointed with the sauce fried chicken- the sauce was nothing too special, it tasted almost like sweet and sour sauce? The fried chicken was good with the first bite (who doesn't love fried chicken?), but then it got kinda blah after a couple more bite =\
I've had better...
maybe i'm spoiled by the left-coast likes of bonchon, but 99 chicken was really disappointing.
we got two orders (love chicken and spicy sauce chicken) to go. $30 for chicken? in santa clara? wow.
and, what was more, we couldnt tell the difference between the two orders except that one had larger chicken pieces than the other. the sticky spicy/sweet exterior was what we expected, but it was almost cloyingly sweet.
so, if you've got a big group and you're pounding Hite or OB, i can see the appeal. and if you like sweet and you like fried chicken, you'd probably like this place. but at $15/order, it's not really a bargain.
don't think we'll be coming back here again.
The first thing I noticed when I came here were all the pictures of customers on the walls. It reminded me of Pink's hot dogs in SoCal, except, I'm almost certain (but correct me if I'm wrong), few, if any, of these people were celebrities. Regardless, it made for some nifty decor to also establish the restaurant's good standing in the community. With all of those photos, I had high expectations for this place, and little did I know, it sure was amaaazingg!
Everytime I think of fried chicken, I automatically think of KFC only because it is so mainstream. However, the fried chicken I had here was definitely lighter tasting and less greasy forsure. Also, KFC got nothing on 99 Chicken's spicy red sauce!
My sister, friends, and I killed 20 pieces of fried chicken and an order of kim chi fried rice. I don't know if we were all just hungry or if the food was just that good, but the plates seemed to clear pretty quickly. Not to mention that we also helped ourselves to the complimentary salad bar items and steamed rice and some OB beer!
Fortunately, we went earlier that evening before it got really crowded. Therefore, our service was pretty prompt and adequate. I wasn't aware that they offered free kimchi too until I read someone else's review here, so I'll keep that in mind for next time.
This place is definitely a must for anyone, whether you enjoy fried chicken or Korean food. The only thing I wonder is why they call it 99 Chicken. Maybe someday they will offer a "Man vs. Food" type challenge where someone must consume 99 pieces of chicken in uhh 99 seconds?! =D
I'm a fan of the original, my husband the hot. It's been awhile since we've been here because, while their chicken is good, it's probably not good for you.
All I remember is that the guy taking our order was super rushing us and was slightly annoyed that we weren't sure of what we wanted. As a result, I got all flustered and felt as if I was cheated out of picking my own meal because he ended up just telling us what we should order. We did order the sampler, which was fine because we got to taste the different flavors..... but still. So not the point. I also remember being agitated at the cashier, whose job it was to ring us up. I get to the cash register and I had to wait at least five minutes while the cashier stood there, lollygagging with other staff members.
They do provide a salad bar but it's not at all appetizing. It didn't look too fresh either.
If ever I am in the mood for fried chicken again, I would probably consider this place... I'd just take it to go.
I'm dropping this down to 4 stars, instead of 5, because while the owners are real nice I must say that both the quality and service went down a smidge. 99 chicken wasn't what it was when I first tried it. And it's not because I've totally made my 99chicken taste buds go out of commission for over usage, I really think that some things have changed a bit. They now charge a 1.00 for the hot sauce. And the owners kind of give me a weird attitude/look when I ask if I could get a salad (when ordering togo).... Though I have no problem paying extra, and I assure you they do charge extra for it, they shouldn't be all weird about it.
However, 99chicken has definitely revolutionized my idea of what GOOD fried chicken should taste like--- the end.

It's a cute mom and pop place in a Korean plaza, and it's nice that they're open till midnight. They do serve beer, too, which comes as part of some of the combo meals :)
The menu offers things like kimchee soup and kimchee fried rice, etc, but we wanted to go for their famous fried chicken. The sampler platter was definitely enough for the 2 of us.
We tried the sampler of all 4 kinds of fried chicken. They come in wings and drumsticks, and the price ends up being equivalent to KFC, but it's more innovative, and I like to think there's less random processed stuff in the chicken here. The honey one is basically drenched in honey, so if you're a fan of honey, this one's for you. The saucy one is pretty much the red sauce on the table. Original is your typical fried chicken. I think once you get past the batter/skin/sauce, you need to add some of their pre-mixed salt and pepper for more flavor.
I love the free, unlimited salad bar with fresh mixed greens, iceberg lettuce, and shredded cabbage. There's also steamed broccoli and baby carrots and pickled radish. It's nice to have something lighter and more refreshing to cleanse your palate and balance out the saucy fried chicken.
They even gave us a free tub of pickled radish to go :)
I really don't understand the hype about this place. I can only see that its so popular because its one of the few yangnyum chicken place around here.
I love yang nyum chicken, but this place just does not fulfill that craving. Their wings are huge, which is not the way its supposed to be. The flavor is only in the skin, and then the inside just basically tastes like boiled chicken.
Also their sauces are really disappointing. My friends and I ordered two different sauces - one spicy and one not. They were exactly the same sauce except one of them just had a little more gochujang (hot pepper past sauce). So we basically had 20 huge drumsticks that tasted the same.
