| - Holy @#$! that's hot...the "blazing chicken", which the menu boasts is pretty hot, well, is. The rub on this grilled chicken that comes on a sizzling plate is delectable but also nearly impossibly hot. Not for those who don't come with a fire extinguisher. I saw other tables with fried chicken, but lots of beer going down helps with the heat. And this place is a busy drinking joint at 10PM on a Saturday night. (The guy standing guard in front of the fridge holding the beer and soju was a nice touch.)
Also tried the kimchi oyster fried rice in the hopes of having something milder to help with the chicken. Between the heat and how strange-tasting kimchi and oysters are together, I happily let my fellow diner eat 3/4 of it.
I saw older reviews saying cheap beer and that the place closes on Sunday. The price of beer there has gone up (~$3-4 per) from the $2 suggested and signs on the outside saying they're open everyday, including Sunday, until 2am (and no MSG). Clearly these guys are watching these posts and kudos to them.
Service was good, and as someone else mentioned, us non-Asians were given forks and spoons rather than chopsticks with spoons. Yet another restaurant to rant to, saying, if I'm going to eat here, I'd like to be treated the same way as everyone else who walks in.
