CHICKEN BIGGER THAN AN IPHONE 15 PRO MAX!!! This staple has been my favorite spot to eat chicken. I always have a great time and alot of leftovers to go home. I rarely see people inside the restaurant. I think their service and food is unparalleled in terms of a fried chicken. You gotta try the spicy and order the drumsticks only. Its the only way you'll get the best bang for buck!!
The waiter is such a hard worker. I hope this kid gets a raise because the owner kept asking him to do everything - she was too. It was a busy day since it was Valentine's Day. The fries were delicious, the side dishes we got were a salad, fries, pickled jalapeño and pickled radish, everything was delicious. The wings as well, crunchy, saucy, and meaty. Haha. The place is nice, quiet, and , clean.
For some reason I thought I had already left a review of this place ! I've been coming here for years since I first discovered it . The staff are so nice and always remember us . We always get soy garlic which is my fav , the salad , radish, fries and rice ahah . It never fails to amaze me and hits the spot every time !
Omg, the chicken here is fireeee! Not in the spicy sense because it was not spicy but the crispy ess and moist inside was so good, I tried two different flavors the spice and the garlic and both was delicious. Also got he sweet potato fries and it was cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and hot and soft on the inside. Would definitely go back and recommend it was a korean fried chicken place to go. The person who helped us out gave us the recommendations as well as told us not to order more because it was more than enough food for two, I always appreciate restaurants that do this because they definitely know better than me when it comes to portion. Place was cozy and had a parking lot, you might miss the lot because its in an alley way. Overall awesome experience!
Typically very picky with Korean fried chicken but this restaurant is a hidden gem in Castro Valley. The restaurant has a plain interior and they have a simple menu with simple flavors... but have y'all seen the size of their chicken?! The drumsticks are huge! The crispiness texture was pretty decent too. The owner lady seems very nice too. I like how friendly she is to all customers. She even advised people on not closing their takeout containers to not ruin the crispiness.
