| - Since I'm Korean and have had many MANY experiences with Korean fried chicken, both in Korea and Canada, I would have to say my experience at K-pop chicken was okay - not superb, not horrible.
I live right by the area, so I decided to call ahead and order some for take-out. I ordered 1/2 Green Onion and 1/2 Sweet & Spicy for three people, and the portions were definitely enough. I liked how the pieces were actually meaty and big, and we were pretty satisfied with both the sauces/flavours.
One thing I was really disappointed in was the pickled radish side dish. Anyone who's had Korean fried chicken knows that a good tastin' pickled radish is absolutely ESSENTIAL. But the taste of the radish was very off, almost as if it were about to go bad but hadn't fully gone there yet. Since I've had it many times throughout my life as a side dish, I know what it's generally supposed to taste like, and theirs was just... weird. Given that other reviewers have had no such problem though, I'd like to think this was a one-time occurrence. Looking back, we should have called them to let them know.
Overall, I liked the taste and the portions, so I will probably go back to try the other sauces on their menu, and also their on-tap beer (chicken + beer combo is a classic that cannot be beat!). I have high hopes that their pickled radish will be normal next time!
