"The South Bay has no shortage of Korean fried chicken chains, like the ubiquitous (and sure, quite excellent) Bonchon shops, but 99 Chicken has been providing a solid local alternative for well over a decade, since, well, before very many non-Koreans even knew about the other KFC. The chicken is twice-fried and often sauce-slathered and bracingly spicy, and dine-in customers can help themselves to as much rice and pickled daikon cubes as they like. Fair warning: Leave the weak of appetite at home, as there’s a five-piece-per-person minimum to sit down and eat at the restaurant." - Luke Tsai
