A wise friend one told me, "it will taste great but you'll feel the burn in the morning". I have yet to see what he means...
Hot Taste KFC is definitely worth trying.
Is it upscale? No.
Is it exciting? No.
Are the servers Welcoming? Meh.
Is the food good? Pretty frogging great.
I ordered the flaming chicken (17.99)which was true to its name. It started out as nice heat and it got hotter as you eat it. The chicken was so tender and well seasoned. Notes of smokey and tangy.
Ordered the fried chicken with onions (18.99?). The chicken could be described as a lightly coated popeyes chicken cooked to perfection with the meat tender and succulent. The scallions they throw on top gives a sweet balance to the unexpectedly greasy dish.
Oyster kimchi fried rice (9.99). I don't think i had an oyster in my bite. Nevertheless, a solid kimchi fried rice, but I've had better.
Beer was fantasticly yet surprisingly cheap. $3.25 for domestic bottle. This is an amazing place to lounge with your friends after a long day.
4/5 because this joint needs to be more creative with their recipe. The chicken is a great foundation but I feel like they should experiment with more flavours. My suggestion, have a fried version with the flaming sauce.
