After a long week of work, my friend and I were in dire need of chimaek to reward ourselves. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday night and were promptly seated; the lines started forming half an hour later. Between the two of us, we shared half seasoned spicy and half golden cheese (boneless) along w/ a glass of Asahi beer. Pickled daikon, popcorn, and coleslaw were served as the sides.
Our order came in two baskets that were mounted w/ chicken. Each piece had a good chunk of meat that was tender w/ a crispy skin. I liked how well it was fried as it wasn't greasy at all and went perfectly w/ the ice-cold beer. The seasoned spicy had a saucy coating that was more on the sweet side w/ a kick. The golden cheese had a layer of cheese powder & shredded cheese that made it more savory & crisp. Both were well executed, though I do prefer the seasoned spicy more. The latter was a bit dry in comparison. But I just ended up dipping it in the seasoned spicy sauce.
The only thing I wish is for them to have more options for the half & half. I really wanted to try their soy & garlic one, but it wasn't one of the choices. All in all, I'll be back to try their other offerings.
