| - I'm a big fan of Korea fried chicken, and I have to say this place didn't meet my expectations.
The service was okay here. Staff were nice and responsive, but won't bring your table any water unless prompted. Perhaps it was expected you would order beer here (since the vibe is more like a sports bar), but we had already ordered and received our food by the time we asked. It would be nice to at least get a round of water regardless (it's the classic soju branded water bottle + cups to pour it yourself).
Now onto the edibles.
Their complementary side dishes were...very bad. The pickled daikon tasted very stale--no daikon crunch, just sponge and surprisingly bland for a pickled food. The salad was over seasoned with a dressing that was confusingly salty. However, since they're complementary, I don't have too many issues with them, but it could be an indicator of quality.
We got the half & half chicken in fried chicken and mild yang nyum chicken flavours. This was hands down the most crunchless fried chicken I've had. It tasted like the type of fried chicken you try to make at home that confusingly doesn't end up crunchy after shallow frying, cools down, and is then microwaved to a slight sogginess. The chicken itself was quite dry--very little moisture, no flavorful and juicy fat to be found, perhaps due to being cooked to oblivion. I felt like there was more bone than chicken for a large majority of the pieces as well--I'm talking a 8-2 ratio of bone to chicken. However, the flavour of the chicken was still good...but I wanted FRIED chicken.
Probably will not be coming back again, especially with so many Korean fried chicken places all around the area, at similar or more worthwhile price points.
