"Opened in September by Chef Adolfo “Fito” Garcia III and his partner Sophia Petrou, this Freret Street shop centers on spicy Korean double-fried chicken with marinated wings swabbed in either soy-and-garlic or spicy gochujang. The menu also includes fried chicken sandwiches, onigirazu (sushi sandwiches), and kakigōri (Japanese shaved ice). Drinks include three-liter towers of draft beer, wine, and soju, and the compact space is adorned with a playful cartoon aesthetic." - Beth D’Addono

The service was on point! One huge downside was no heat in the building. It was super cold. My nachos needed more chicken but as you can see my husband had plenty so he cut some of his up for me. Cheese dip was yummy but I had to ask for more, it was found at the bottom of the tray. Mac and cheese was subpar and the chicken had good flavor but the skin was chewy. Lovely decor!

Really good, moist roasted chicken with tortillas. The Mexican Street corn is also excellent. Just a dab of hot sauce and it’s chicken heaven! Oh, and huge portions!

Ordered the half chicken. Was expecting white and dark meat. Only served two leg quarters. Nice smoke on the meat. The skin was far from crispy. I normally eat all the skin if crispy. Today, I ate no skin. It can with Mexican corn, Charo beans and tortillas. I left full. The beans were the best thing on my tray. If I lived here, I probably wouldn't eat here again. My wife got the chicken bowl and only ate 1/3 of it.

Very warm and inviting atmosphere. They served us last minute, right before closing with a smile. The best Miami Vice I’ve had in a long time. Super fresh Strawberry Daiquiri, absolutely delicious food. The chicken filet was so hot and fresh and the bun was toasted to perfection. The buffalo mayo and pickles are literal PERFECTION on the thinly sliced, fried to perfection filet. A perfectly executed, classic, flavor bouquet.

Do not sleep on this place!! You have to try it. Very good portions, low cost, high quality food. Lunch or dinner~ 🔥 The food is 100% amazing and authentic~ it’s delicious and perfectly cooked. I love the half chicken with charros y yuca. The people are so nice~ Georgie is a good guy.

Friendly and great service! Portions were very reasonable for the price, and everything tasted delicious. The chicken skin was perfectly charred. Highly recommend trying the Yuca fries too!”

Arrived at 7:45pm on a Monday and they said they were closed. If you advertise as being open until 9, you need to keep cooking until then. I came from my hotel using public transportation. Thank God it was free, but that was still highly disappointing. Just beware, this is one of those businesses that just closes when they feel like it. Someone else in another review mentioned the same thing happened to them at lunch time. Maybe call ahead to see what hours they feel like keeping that day.

Chuy has done it again. A great restaurant. Awesome economical lunch solution for downtown. The chicken is so good. Pictured is BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Blackbeans

Comfort Food with a kick! My wife and I stopped in on a rainy Friday night to check out this new to us restaurant. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy! The Mexican street corn provided some zip while the Mac and cheese provided comfort. Best Mac and cheese I've ever eaten! I was only able to eat half of my meal, but it was great the next day, too. Ten out of ten recommend this place if you're downtown.

I ordered a pick up. it was packed well, hot and ready. They were quick to be ready and check out was easy. The half chicken was great last time. This time I ordered tenders and would not recommend them. They were mid at best. The wings were good. Just stay away from the tenders in my opinion.

We paid for parking, went into the establishment and were told they were only accepting cash for the day. Therefore, we told them we would walk to an atm and be right back. Within 5 minutes they closed and locked the doors and acted like they didn't notice us. Not a good look for a first time customer.

Snow day in Chatt, few options but why go anywhere else. This delicious experience, half chickens and sides. Wonderful flavors in the habanero mango and lemon pepper options. Sounds silly but slaw is better than KFC. Mexican corn reminded of the best I ever had in Sedona AZ. The groove music was fun. Great service and very reasonable! Will be back!

Wow! What flavors. Half chicken plate with rice and black beans. Added guac and Mexican corn. $20! Can't beat that.

The service was wonderful and the restaurant was clean. The chicken nachos were, dare I say, life changing. One of the very few times I've been sad that I was too full to finish my food. Absolutely will be back.

I meant to take a picture but I was so hungry and it looked so good I just dove right in. Best chicken and chicken skin I've had in a long long time. Fast service, fast food, incredibly delicious. Good atmosphere and fun place to eat. Really enjoyed myself, and the price seemed incredibly fair for what I got. Was incredibly reasonable. Would highly recommend.
