LA’s New Restaurant Openings - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Chef Kang is known for his mini-empire of restaurants in Koreatown, but he now has a new fast-casual fusion concept on the Westside. BTC stands for Burger Taco Chicken, and that’s exactly what’s on the menu: bulgogi burgers, galbi tacos, and Korean fried chicken in soy garlic and honey butter sauces. There are also a few classic Korean dishes from Chef Kang’s other spots, like pork belly kimchi stew and kimchi fried rice." - cathy park

Got wings and the soy garlic and spicy soy garlic were absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked and while making it the right ammount of crunchy and Sauce was just right. Also got the crispy chicken skins, very crispy felt dry but sauce helped but still 5 stars because they are supposed to be crispy and crunchy not really a complaint really enjoyed them. Staff was extremely nice and helpful definitely recommend coming here.

Great experience and delicious food! In the top 3 of best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Sauces were on point. We got ours plain so we could try different toppings for our wings. The burgers were juicy and delicious. And the burrito was stuffed to the max. Everything was served on pretty plates too. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They checked on our table twice. We dined in but saw many people ordering to go too so next time we might do that option. Either way we will be back! P.S. One of the cleanest bathroom restaurants I’ve ever been in.

I had the black bean noodle dish and it was good. Very light, not salty at all. This place opened 5 weeks ago and they make delicious food. Servers and staff were very friendly. There are plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. I will definitely come back here and try more of their Korean inspired dishes and fast food items!

We ordered chicken wings, glass noodle and jajangmyun. Nothing was bad but nothing was really great either. Everything was cooked well but the flavors on the wings was so so. The spice on the spicy soy garlic was odd. It’s not a Korean spice but more like a chemical spice. Hard to explain. The honey butter was a bit too bland and understated. The crisp on the wings was nice though.

Not a fan of the honey butter flavor but the drumsticks are great. My chicken wings were fried a little to much but the flavor was good. Waffle fries were good.

I don’t usually leave reviews but this meal was so good! I loved the variety and everything was very well done. I especially liked the quail eggs and chicken wing. Pork was a little dry but fried very well. I paid $24 ($31 after tip + tax) for this bento box and I think the value was solid. Also I loved how the takeout container was bento box shaped :)

I came here to try it out on opening day with my mom and to our surprise, we were customer #1 & #2! Food was phenomenal, I don’t think I’ve ever had such an amazing burger. The chicken wings were very crispy, and delicious. Staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. You definitely gotta try this place if you’re in the area! There’s also a wide selection of food, so everyone will find something they like, and for the price, you really can’t go wrong.

First visit! Had the burger combo (with fried kim chi on it). It was fantastic. Accompanied by waffle fries. The fries had an avocado sauce for dipping. The plate came with a little dish of potato salad and a little dish of egg salad, both surprisingly tasty. The staff are friendly. Can't wait to come back and try something different!

This place is a hidden gem!!!! I ordered the kimchi pork stew and was blown away, the portion was very large, the banchan was delicious, I also ordered the bulgogi hamburger and was equally impressed. This place is new but I'm so happy they're in the area now I don't have to drive to K-town when I'm craving Korean food. The staff was nice and helpful, seating area is medium sized and basic no frills.

My boyfriend and I tried this prior to getting on a flight as it is our neighborhood eatery about two blocks from us I really wanted to like this place as I was told by other neighbors it was pretty decent Five dollars for a Thai tea moderately the chicken sandwich was OK and my boyfriend got the pork cutlet in gravy Food was decent not sure come back. The chicken sandwich didn't sit with me later on and my stomach started to hurt and I was experiencing some acid reflux. I think that there were other eateries in the neighborhood that are with going back to prior to me checking out BTC again

I live right around the corner from this spot and I really thought it was a teriyaki spot until I decided to give this a try and knew it was a Korean fried chicken establishment. I absolutely love this place. The fried chicken is spicy and very flavorful. When you bite into it, you hear that crunch and the chicken itself is well flavored. I ordered wings, a chicken sandwich, and fried chicken by itself and I love that it comes with little sides like pickles, kimchi, and sauces. Their seasoned fries are amazing! Very crunchy exterior and soft inside. Their service is great! Usually they will have your order out in 15 minutes on a non-peak hours and 20-30 minutes during their rush hours. Pricing is affordable. $20 is around what you'll pay for a meal here. Very worth it though. You won't be disappointed.

Stopped in for takeout today. It's not a space that is suited for dine-in, basically looks/feels like a ghost kitchen. Ordered Bulgogi Burger and Soy-Garlic chicken bites to go. Food was super solid, good crunch on the chicken and bulgogi sandwich was well assembled. Slightly salty, but all bulgogi is. Idk who Chef Kang is, but food was good. $25 total which is totally reasonable, portions were plentiful and filling.

Excellent bento box value - two can dine on a big bento. Lots of unusual and tasty items -- potato croquette, stewed quail eggs, shrimp tempura -- that you don't often find in a Korean bento. The curry katsu pork was so Delish! Goes great with jasmine rice. The fried chicken drums were good, with sauces on the side. K-FC is all about the sauces. But IMO great fried chicken, like a great steak, needs no sauce. It's all about properly seasoning the batter and marinating the meat.

When Friday night rolls around, Boyfriend is usually beat, being that he gets up by 4 AM for his job 5 days a week. So we decided to try takeout from this new restaurant, formerly an odd pairing of a frozen yogurt place and a poke joint. Having read all of the great reviews I was excited to try it. However, our experience did not measure up to all the five-star reviews. The menu is an interesting mix of traditional Korean staples and more fast-food type dishes like burgers and tacos. I ordered a trio of tacos - the chicken, the classic and the Korean-spiced taco. Boyfriend opted for the Galbi burger with a side of waffle fries. We were told that the food would be ready for pick up in 15 minutes. However, Boyfriend arrived and was told they were running late. For his wait time, the staff threw in some freebies - fried chicken wings and more waffle fries, which we didn't really need or want. Now, I am a white girl who enjoys a fair amount of spice, but I must say I couldn't even take more than two bites of the Korean spiced taco. The others were fine, pretty basic, with diced meats and raw onions and came with a few different sauces in small plastic cups. Just fine, not special. Boyfriend thought his burger was ok, though he pulled out a few pieces of gristle. However, both of us felt the wings and fries were super greasy and heavy. I like my fried chicken skin to be super crisp, and this was not that. It was soggy and unappealing to me. Can't really speak to the ambience as I was not inside the restaurant; but it doesn't seem to have any particular charm according to boyfriend. I'm sorry to say we probably won't be back to sample anything else on the menu.

I visited again yesterday and had the Texas Chili and a Spicy Galbi Beef Rib taco. Both were delicious. The chili was a little too spicy for me, as I'm still feeling it the next day. I wonder if the heat can be adjusted per order...

This is a small restaurant at the corner of an intersection. It has 6 tables indoor and 4 small tables outside. The environment is clean. The staff is friendly and the chef is kind. We have tried quite a few of their Korean dishes. The fried chicken wings and drumsticks are crunchy and juicy, just not enough flavor. The japChae is good, we like it a lot. The burrito is big, it has good amount of meat in it. The braised short ribs become sliced beef now since they change the cut. The grilled short ribs and kimchi and spam fried rice are ok. If you are at westside and craving for Korean food, it is still worth for a visit.

Great addition to Korean fusion options as well as more traditional dishes! Fast casual spot with delicious flavors and service with a smile. Space was a former diner and is no frills. Clean dining space with free parking. On to the food, as there plenty of pictures already, will just say that my boys can't get enough of the honey butter chicken wings and bulgogi burger. The kimchi spam fried rice is also flavorful and seals the deal when you're looking for warm hearty food. It's not cheap, but it won't break the bank for such large portions. Hope it sticks around!

We remember the slow transition of this building from KFC to Cherry on Top yogurt and poke (an interesting pairing). We saw the signs for "BTC by Chef Kang opening soon!" We looked forward to checking out this new establishment, we're glad we did! We had a family gathering there so we were able to try different dishes. Everything was great! I tried the Korean beef bulgolgi burger combo. The price seemed a bit high until the meal arrived. The portions are generous, along with good sides in add to the waffle fries. The burger was really good, I'd never had bulgolgi served in a burger before. I made a good choice. Other family members had the fried chicken sandwich (nicely prepared) and the chicken burrito (my son had to take it home, it was a lot). What I will try next time is the bento box. My brother-in-law and younger son both ordered the chicken cutlet curry bento. So much food, all of it good! The cutlet was wonderful, the curry a good compliment, it also came with potato salad, a green salad, a potato ball, a bit of chap chae noodles, picked radishes, marinated mushrooms, and a scoop of rice. Again, a lot of food that was a good value. The atmosphere is rather basic, but that's not why we went there. The cuisine is awesome. My brother-in-law was visiting from the East San Gabriel Valley, quite the distance, yet he wants another BTC visit. I'll be joining him!

My wife and I stopped by early on a Saturday evening (they are still in soft open mode, so they close at 7:00). The staff was really nice and super helpful. The menu features a wide assortment of Korean-inflected burgers, tacos and burritos, as well as more traditional Korean fare. We started with the fried chicken drumsticks. Half spicy Korean and half Spicy soy garlic. They were unbelievably good. May be the best fried chicken I've ever eaten and not for nothing, I've eaten a lot of fried chicken. Crunchy on the outside, but moist and juicy on the inside. No notes. My nod goes to the spicy Korean, which had some heat, but not too much, and was packed with flavor. We also had the signature braised ribs, which were literally fall off the bone tender. We went with the mild, which were really good, but will definitely check out the spicy next time. Last, but not least, we had the black bean noodles with pork. Delicious and well balanced, we both gave it a decided thumbs up. All in all, a very enjoyable and satisfying meal at a very good price. It's a great addition t the neighborhood and we can't wait to come back and continue working our way through the menu!

The food here is amazing. My son got the burger combo with waffle fries. It came with either potato or egg salad - I opted for the egg salad and it was so good. Crunchy bits of celery bring the texture party in a flavorful, light egg salad. Speaking of texture party - the waffle fries were like tempura or something. They were unusual and delicious. My son said the burger was great. I also got a braised beef taco. The meat was so tender and tasty. Total for the above about $25.

Their bulgogi burrito is delicious! I always get it without beans and add kimchi. Highly recommend adding the kimchi! There are usually a few fatty, chewy bites that I discard, but the burrito is so massive that's probably a good thing!

WOW! My parents ate here today and loved it, so we had to try it out for dinner. We ordered delivery. I had the "Korean Galbi Burrito" It was bigger than my hand and so big around, I couldn't get my hand around it. It was AMAZING! It came with a red and green sauce. The green sauce was super tasty. I can't handle spicy at all, so the red sauce was out for me, but luckily the sauces were on the side:) My husband had the braised pulled beef and loved his meal as well. He also had to keep half of his for tomorrow! My kid had a burger and thought it was just o.k., but said the fries were amazing. We ordered mushrooms but they were out. I asked the lady to surprise us with something of equal value, since we had never been there. She was so sweet. She gave us the deep fried chicken skins..which were also really good. She even wrote a note on the box saying she hoped we enjoyed it. I also like that every box was labeled with what was inside, so we didn't have to guess. Serious 10/10 experience!

This is a good change in the area, by offering the Korean fusion cuisine. The menu have a lot of options, which in IMO the store should have a screen display or pictures for some of the customers to look at to help with deciding what to eat. Whenever I go to a fusion restaurant I like to test the water by ordering a familiar item like a burrito and see if the chef has pushed the limits or not so I ordered the galbi burrito. Inside there's beans, white rice, pico de gallo and the Korean short rib meat. It too a few bites to assess if I liked it or not. For me personally, I see it has some potential. I think the salsa was tart but lacked a punch to bring all the flavors together and the burrito needed a little sauce and moisture. It was a bit dry for my liking. I felt like if the chef wanted to get there with the fusion concept a gochujang salsa with push the flavors over the hill. So for those reasons, I say that burrito is right in the middle. Not too good and not too bad. Now the fried chicken drumsticks on the other hand is next level delicious. You can tell the chicken was brined because the meat had flavor and extra juicy when you first bite into it. I got the spicy soy flavor. Let me tell you, this beats the k.bbq fried chicken by miles. The batter is delicate and crunchy while the spicy soy hummms a bit bite after bite. For $9 for 4 pieces it's plenty of food for a single person and if you pair that with rice, might even be enough for 2 people. The chicken definitely stole the show for me and I'll put this as a must eat restaurant if you're flying out of LAX.

Wow what a great experience at BTC. We left with our tummies satisfied and pleased, this will definitely be a staple for my boyfriend and I!! I LOVED the bento box, such a good deal for all that you get, he never seen anything like it! Truly unique and the staff is super kind and food comes FAST. Even if it didn't, each bite make it even more worth it. Such great food without a serious and formal "sit down" can be a casual dinner/lunch place and is super chill. We can't wait to come back and try more of the delicious menu!! We got the korean ribs bento box and fried chicken sandwich, both are phenomenal!! Truly blown away by all the flavors and yummy sides.

EXCELLENT!! Delicious food...DELICIOUS! I had curry pork cutlet bento which came with a little potato salad, a piece of tempura shrimp, a fried mashed potato ball, white rice, a green salad with tomato and onion and mushroom, glass noodles, 3 quail eggs, a fried chicken wing, and two kinds of kimchee! CAME WITH THE MEAL, and everything was delicious. Bathroom was spotless, service was adequate (you order at a counter), space was clean, cool, and very bright.

Ran across this Korean fusion soft opening of BTC restaurant. First impression clean. Perfect for lunch or quick meals not for dinner dinning. I went for take out and samplings, ordered fried chicken (soy garlic/honey butter) sauces, Bulgogi burrito and bulgogi tacos. Tacos $6.00 Burrito $17 Chicken 10 pcs wings and drum sticks. Tacos were delish large and over stuffed with meat, chicken crispy and great with both sauces delish. I was too full to try my burrito with kimchi but I'm sure it will be great as rest. I recommend and will return, there are so many dishes to try!

This place hits the spot for KFC in the area. Ordered three types of chicken and a galbi burrito. The burrito was very savory. Portions were huge. I ordered 20 wings half and half and got mostly drumettes it was tasty, but not what I ordered. I ordered legs, they were huge. I'll skip this in future. I'll be back for the KFC and will further explore others items.

I didn't have high expectations, but this place really surprised me! The staff was attentive, friendly & the food was great! I got the kimchi fried rice w/spam. The rice, egg & spam were cooked well. The gochuchang sauce did not over power it at all. Also ordered a few tacos, which the meats were juicy & flavored well :) I will be back for more

김치찌개 맛있어요. 회사 근처에 한식 먹을 곳이 없었는데, 좋네요. 찌개 양을 살짝 줄이고 가격 조금만 낮춰도 좋을 거 같아요. 밥 한공기 다 먹고나면 찌개가 많이 남아요.

Fantastic new Korean fusion food . Diverse menu with plenty of options. First time here and I had to try their street taco options: Beef Bulgogi, Spicy Galbi Beef Rib, Pulled Braised Beef, and Classic Marinated Beef. Definitely recommend the Spicy Galbi if you can handle a bit of spice. My companion got the Fried Mashed Potatoes (something ive never seen) and I tried some and they'll be a part of my next order for sure.

We had great tacos at BTC. The marinade used for the meat was delicious and honestly did not require any other toppings. We did try some of the salsa and enjoyed that too. Service is good you order up at the counter and then find a table to sit down. There is not quite a bit of ambience yet, but I think overtime that will improve. We also enjoyed the burger and chicken.

Love what they're doing here. Super diverse menu with fried chicken, burgers, burritos. Flip the menu and it's Korean staples. Fried chicken sandwich is a winner, but the regular burger feels a little meager by comparison. Will keep returning to try out more of the menu: bulgogi, tacos, chili, kimchi stew, it's a wild mix!

Interesting fusion and the tastes are great. We were 3 with each a very different order (fried chicken, tacos and bulgogi burger), but all were hot, fresh and super tasty. Spicy and sweet. Very friendly and fast service.

This is a new spot that has a great flavor vibe. I got the marinated beef tacos and wow..so yummy and really good portion of meat. I could only eat 2 tacos but I usually can't pack that much food down. The cashier didn't know if they were gluten free but she asked in the back so that was appreciated. Not too much foot traffic which is great, got my food in a short time. My daughter tried the potato balls, also a big hit.

7/23/25 - BTC (Burgers, Tacos, & Chicken) by Chef Kang has been open for only 1 month, & is having their Grand Opening. I tried it, & was delighted by the diverse & creative menu (example: Korean tacos, galbi hamburgers, bigolbi burrito, gigantic fried chicken wings with various homemade sauces, etc.). They also offer standard Korean food, tempura, & bento boxes. The food is very tasty. The hamburger & food portions are very large. The service is like fast food - order at the counter & select a table either indoors or outdoors for dining in. Their one public restroom is clean. The tricky parking lot access is only on Centinela Blvd., next to the Von's Market. I will definitely return with others for the food.

We dined in and I like the open aesthetic of the spot but I also saw many people ordering to go too so next time we might do that option. Either way we will be back! P.S. One of the cleanest bathroom restaurants I've ever been in.

The tacos ("beef bulgogi" and "pulled braise beef") were okay. Not good, not bad, but okay with the salsa added, otherwise a little bland. Probably won't order those again. If you are hell-bent on getting a taco, I recommend getting the "spicy" galbi taco, as that meat has much more flavor. But the galbi burrito (withheld pinto beans, personal preference) was out of this world!!! So good that I want to go there again two days later. It's not very spicy even though it is listed that way. Great on its own but the salsas take it to the next level. Very nice staff, clean inside. I took the order to-go and even the packaging was nice. Definitely recommend.

Went for lunch and enjoyed everything we ordered! We tried the braised beef taco, bugolgi taco, the classic burger, potato balls, and the fried chicken. Portions were very generous which is appreciated since it's not a cheap place to eat (where is these days?). Quality was high, sauces were delicious, service was very friendly and the setting was clean and simple. The food is so flavorful and rich. I had one piece of small grizzle in my burger but overall the flavor was excellent! We'll be back! Nice to have a great new option in the neighborhood.

Love Chef Kang's restaurants in ktown and so to my surprise to see something titled Chef Kang in west LA - can confirm it's all from the same person! I ordered the jjajangmyun (black bean noodles), fried chicken, and pork kimchi stew. I absolutely love the mackerel stew in ktown, so adjusting for the local crowd in west LA, I had high expectations for the pork kimchi stew too. Let's just say it remains the same great taste - well fermented kimchi is needed & it did not hold back! Definitely my favorite from my order. The noodles from the black bean noodles were only okay for me but the black bean sauce was excellent. I'd order this again in a heart beat when I crave it. And of course, the fried chicken!! Holy smokes this is better than other Korean fried chicken options around the area & comparable to ktown. The restaurant has space inside to sit and is still in its soft opening, so we opted for to go, but food is still great. The service and ordering is still in progress as they work through the kinks, but I am excited to revisit and sit down for a meal. For now, more than happy to still to go food again!

Wow!

I can't begin to describe how ecstatic I am this place is right down street from us. Even if it wasn't I'd drive across town to eat it. The fried mash potato balls and egg salad were insanely delicious!!! Every bite got better. And the Vegan Jjajangmyun was SOO HOMEY and comforting and also insanely delicious. The 2 girls in front were so great and helpful too helping us order. Can't wait to go back!!

Got a hamburger here today. Looked promising. Very clean place and friendly service. Got home and could not find one piece of edible meat. 100% gristle. Do not order!! If I can face it, I'd like to try the Korean food on the menu. But this was the most disgusting burger I remember having!

Seriously my new favorite spot! Everything comes out looking commercial ready and taste as great as it looks! The staff is so friendly and they keep the restaurant so clean and nice. Spicy braised rib burrito the fried chicken is ridiculously good. I'm surprised no big foodie influencer's have discovered this place!

I was hoping my first visit to this eatery could have been better. In fact, my husband and I were looking forward to enjoying a good experience. My hopes faded when we saw a couple dining inside with their undisciplined dog standing up with its front paws on the table. The dog was being fed from the table by its male owner. The lady at the register claimed that the dog was a service animal, but it was not wearing any forms of ID identifying that pet as being a service dog or working dog. Furthermore, a service dog does not beg its owner constantly for food, with its front paws on the table top. When I expressed my frustration to the woman at the cash register, she offered outside dining. I then asked her if outside dining was for me or the dog. She then apologized if I was offended. I hope this eatery does a better job respecting their paying customers and learn how to discern service animals from regular household pets. There are distinguishable behavioral patterns. Unfortunately, this business has lost two human customers, if that even matters to them.

Excited about this legit Korean place on the Westside! We tried the wings (original and spicy Korean glaze), Jjajamgmyun (black bean noodles), and Kimchi pork belly stew. Everything had generous portions and great, authentic flavor. Can't wait to return and try other menu items!

So excited that Chef Kang, a well-known name in Koreatown for authentic Korean food and Korean American fusion, has opened up a new spot on the Westside! I've been a fan of his food for a while, so I couldn't wait to check this place out. We ordered the bulgogi burrito, bulgogi burger, and kalbi burger combo and everything was fantastic. The bulgogi burrito was massive, honestly bigger than my forearm, and packed with tender, flavorful beef, rice, veggies, and sauce. Definitely a must-try. The bulgogi burger was super juicy and delicious, though a little messy to eat (worth it). The kalbi burger was another standout ! loved that it was made with a kalbi patty instead of sliced short rib. It had that perfect sweet-savory marinade flavor that makes kalbi so good. The combo waffle fries were extra crispy, exactly how I like them, and the egg salad side was a nice, creamy touch. Highly recommend asking for their spicy mayo on the side, it was perfect for dipping the fries. The service was amazing too. They have a simple indoor area and a nice outdoor patio where we sat. The staff brought everything out to us, checked in a couple times to see if we needed anything, and offered extra sauces without us even asking. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Overall, really happy to have BTC by Chef Kang in the neighborhood and can't wait to come back and try more. A great casual spot with big flavors and great hospitality.

Chicken sandwich was all dark meat ! Yes is a sandwich but for a regular chicken sandwich should be chicken breast .! The waffle fries.! We're so so overly fried .! The Korean spicy chicken wings were so so extremely overly sweet.! So sweet that you can't even taste the wings.! The owner lady ! Needs to relax and not being so demeaning to the poor worker ! For a new business, she should be going around asking her potential regular customers., ask if everyone and and how is the food ! Instead, she stays in by the register looking around ...will i come back ! I don't think so ! Unless they make this place more welcoming.! Not like a hospital cafeteria.!

I got the beef bulgogi bento box to go and it was everything I could've hoped for and more. It had a ton of food and a great variety. Everything was delicious and while it was on the pricier side for takeout ($26), it was worth every penny!

Standout Korean menu dishes: Korean fried chicken, bulgogi, black bean noodles, kimchi stew, banchan (potato salad, quail eggs, dried fish). Clean, spare room with quick efficient service. Wonderful to have on the Westside.

I had their Chicken Burger Combo and it was very good. Portion size was big too, and worth the money. Service is good and atmosphere is relaxed. I plan on coming back!

Tried this place out and it is great. Shared the burrito and kimchee fried rice. Can't wait to go back and try the other stuff. I'm done eating out at some of my other usual spots because they have become a total rip off. Pasta these days is like over $30 at some places. Pasta bolognese!! These guys are nuts. This place is half the price and twice the flavor. Shake shack is like $20 for a skimpy burger (where's the beef?) and fries. Will be making this a regular spot in the rotation for sure!

Tried BTC today and so far, so great. The chicken sandwich was crispy and full of veggies. The mashed potato balls were crunchy outside and creamy inside. The Jjajangmyun was tasty but next time we will get it a little spicier. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly helping guide us through the menu, answering lots of questions that encouraged another visit to try more, like the short ribs. We are welcoming BTC as the most interesting treat for the tastebuds in the neighborhood. It is definitely worth a visit

We ate there yesterday at a private friends and family "invite only" soft open. Fantastic food all around! Fried chicken drumstick with hot Korean sauce, animal burger, Korean Bulgogi taco, braised beef short ribs, Korean hot wings, kitchen, chili... and more.. I can't even remember everything we tasted. It all had great flavors that you don't find every day. Very reasonable prices listed too! I cant wait until they open full time!

Being a fan of Korean cuisine, we had to try BTC by Chef Kang. There were so many tempting items on the menu that we had a difficult time choosing what to order. Since it was just the wife and I, we chose the galbi burrito, 6 piece fried chicken with soy garlic sauce and a spicy galbi taco. I have to say the food was spot on and extremely tasty! The fusion of Korean/Mexican in the burrito and taco worked so well with the green cilantro sauce that comes with each item. The soy garlic glaze on the crispy fried chicken really enhanced the flavor of the chicken. Each of the items were reasonably priced and was well worth it. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning soon to explore the many other tempting items on their menu.
