Gol Tong Chicken - Review - Koreatown - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a 70-something Korean horror film director opened a fried chicken shop, well, now you know. You get Gol Tong—a one-man operation where the owner shuttles around the dining room to greet every guest, take every order, and fry every chunk of chicken himself. You may have to wait a bit for your order, but gazing at the wall of movie posters (directed by the man himself) makes the time go fast. The menu is just three flavors of fried chicken, but they’re all unique, topped with diced bell peppers, golden kiwis, pineapple, tomatoes, blueberries, and green grapes, which add fresh bursts of sweetness and make the platter look like a patchwork quilt. All the chicken here is boneless, and while we usually prefer bone-in, the pieces here are so juicy we don’t mind." - Cathy Park
