"Cross Street Chicken and Beer offers double-fried, crispy wings, hot chicken sandwiches, and a few traditional Korean noodle soups, such as Noona Noodle Soup—a spicy Korean ramen topped with pork dumplings, kimchi, and a fried egg. There are 13 flavors of fried chicken to choose from, ranging from the dry rub O.G. to Seoul spicy. Don’t skip on the corn cheese or something from the bar. Along with a wide selection of local beers, the restaurant carries its own Cross Cross Street lager, as well as wine, soju, and soju cocktails such as Ube-beh, made with ube, cream, and soju." - Helen I.

"With two outposts in the Convoy District and Del Mar, this Korean fried chicken staple is as enticing for the little ones as the adults. The laid-back atmosphere is inviting for families and adults with its robust cocktail menu and draft beer. The kids menu offers mini chicken and waffles, chicken tenders, and grilled cheese. On the main menu, the younger set may also crave popcorn chicken fried rice, wings and fries, or Oppa’s noodle soup, a family recipe with ramen and pork dumplings only available at the North County location." - Helen I.

"Seoul-based fast-casual restaurant Cross Street Chicken specializes in fried chicken, served on its own or tossed in spicy sauce. Since opening its first location in the Convoy District, Cross Street has expanded with a second in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Each location features its own specialties like salt and pepper short ribs in Convoy and tteokbokki in Del Mar. Add on the Korean corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and homestyle specialties like soondubu and Noona’s noodle soup (spicy Korean ramen with pork dumplings and fried egg). The restaurant also has over 20 beers on tap, a wide selection of soju, and an extensive cocktail menu. Try the Resting Witch Face, a spicy cocktail made with mezcal, chili liqueur, agave, and fresh lime juice." - Helen I. Hwang
"The appeal of this chicken spot, which has outposts in Kearny Mesa and Carmel Valley, is the variety of seasonings offered when it comes to customizing its oversized chicken wings. The trendy Korean style is represented through its Seoul spicy and soy-garlic flavors, but there’s also Nashville hot, lemon pepper, garlic-parmesan, and more. The ice-cold beers on hand only enhance the experience." - Eater Staff
"With a name like that, it might be hard to go to Del Mar and not get the titular menu items (and with an impressive tap list, it’s understandable). But the Good Things Come in Tree cocktail, a Cross Street take on the Old Fashioned, makes an excellent complement to the Korean-style fried chicken: Combining Westward Whiskey with peach syrup brings a traditional southern U.S. flavor to the meal." - Vox Creative
