"Amazingly crispy chicken! Korean fried chicken is double fried with an emphasis on crunch. The skin is paper-thin over very juicy chicken with our house-made glazes adding unique flavors to the party. Served with a side of pickled radish as a palate refresher, making each piece taste as delicious as the first. Our Spicy sauce is our original favorite. Sweet with a bit of spicy, this is our homage to the flavors that put Korean fried chicken on the map in K-town spots across America. The Soy Garlic sauce is our soy garlic take on the second ‘traditional’ flavor. Often, Spicy and Soy Garlic are ordered together to provide a steady contrast of spicy and salty."
