| - We came here with the rationale that you just don't set up another KFC shop so close to the fry without anything special to offer, so we came here to satisfy our fried chicken cravings. The chicken is good, you just need to order accordingly and not order too much (disclaimer: totally our fault).
First things first, to get this out of the way, you only need to order ONE chicken dish per two people. And even then, you will probably struggle to finish it. We came here with a party of four and got 3 orders of chicken. Don't do that, REGARDLESS how hungry you are! And another thing, this is a whole chicken, so expect all sorts of chicken parts. These are not wings, if you don't like all this goodness, get the boneless bites.
We pretty much sampled everything (hey, we like to eat with our eyes, right?) And my favourite in order was: green? onion, garlic soy, cheese, and then lastly the spicy gochujang based one. We also ordered the teokkbokki which was pretty good. A perfect compliment or appetizer you your chicken. And
Makgeolli was available, just not on the drink menu, so just ask for it.
The chicken here was so crispy, so ordering one that isn't fully doused in sauce will allow you to enjoy that. I obviously recommend going with the half-half. The green onion was the best of both world of being sauced and fully crisp. There was plenty of refreshing green onion, in that tasty, sweet sauce without making the chicken overly soggy. I was pretty disappointed with the spicy gochujang one, it was just too soggy, and the sauce just didn't do it for me (and I do like gochujang). I'm not sure if the cheese one was real cheese (it didn't really taste like it, at least for the gooey stringy aspect of it). But it was still pretty nice to have a crispy, cheesy taste - which is really unique! Also the white meat was pretty dry, so another reason to stick with the bones.
It was really loud here, with loud music loud voices but this is to be expected for these type of places.
