The best wings I've had in ages.

On 6/23/2025 Jon Ole Olsen had this to say:
Korean fried chicken is now my favorite fried chicken. I love the wings, but the strips are huge. Both are very crispy even after being sauced. The bulgogi and japchae were excellent as well. The service has been wonderful on multiple occasions.

On 6/20/2025 Carlos Polanco had this to say:
It's a very chill place but those big juicy drumsticks will take you out of this world.
