| - The only KFC I eat is Korean Fried Chicken!!!
I've been coming here for quite a while now and I think i can provide a pretty well rounded review.
The restaurant is quite small so it can get pretty crowded on some days. There's also not many staff on hand. Most of the time there will only be one server for the entire restaurant so service can be slow.
Expect to wait at least 30 mins for your food!
My favorite thing to get there is of course the fried chicken! They double fry it so its superrr crispy. It also comes with a portion of fries, the same kind they have at Costco, so they're equally as crispy! Personally I really like their soy and garlic flavour, but the spicy is also quite good! FYI though, it's not actually spicy at all, its more like a ketchupy BBQ sauce so don't be afraid to try it! The prices for the chicken may seem a bit steep, starting at $20 I believe, but you get 2 chickens worth of meat! Definitely bring a friend with you to eat.
The spicy rice cakes on the other hand are actually quite spicy unlike the spicy chicken. I really recommend the one with fish cakes! Good flavour but it is a bit more soupy than I would prefer. While I usually go for the chicken, they also offer stews! During my last visit I tried out the army stew, which was very different from any other Korean food I've had! It was quite large, definitely needs to be shared with at least 1 other person. The stew had these fried rice cakes, kind of similar to a rice crispie. Such an interesting texture and it also has a slight roasted flavour. Definitely will try this again on a cold day!
TIP: Only dine in!!! You miss out on the side dishes when you order out (except side dishes) and the chicken is never as crispy once it sits in the box. If you must do take out, know that the portion appears to be a little less and you'll need to pick it up right away!
Bottom line: The fried chicken is AMAZING, the other dishes are hit or miss but all pretty solid. Service can be spotty but friendly! And it'd definitely great value.
