Donkey Mo's Korean Fried Chicken

"The North Loop casual restaurant specializes in Korean double-fried chicken with a crispy, saucy exterior. The chicken here is served as nuggets, wings, or tenders in various flavors, such as soy garlic, sweet and spicy, sweet and sour, and Holy Donkey. Don’t skip the Brussels sprouts. Be sure to map out your visit: The small eatery has counter service only, and although it’s an improvement over the previous H Mart stall, the space can become quite cramped during peak hours." - Darcie Duttweiler

"Right across the street from Komé on Airport Boulevard, Donkey Mo’s is a small counter-service restaurant specializing in Korean fried chicken. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because Donkey Mo’s was previously at H-Mart in Cedar Park before closing a couple years ago.  We visited Donkey Mo's and added it to the Hit List." - nicolai mccrary

"The North Loop location of Donkey Mo’s Fried Chicken is remaining open at 5312 Airport Boulevard. This decision was made to focus more attention on the North Loop location after closing the South Lamar location." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The Korean fried chicken at Donkey Mo's tests the upper limits of the crunch spectrum. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because they had a long-standing residency at H-Mart before shuttering in 2021. Two chickenless years later, they’re back in a bigger space with a larger menu that also includes things like spicy fried rice cakes and churros. The toughest decision you’ll have to make is choosing between wings, tenders, and thigh nuggets—whichever you end up with, get them tossed in sweet and spicy sauce if you like a little kick. And if you’re here to film some crispy fried chicken ASMR, don’t forget to hit record before you jump straight in.  " - nicolai mccrary

"The long-awaited Korean fried chicken restaurant is back with not just one but two whole locations in Austin in March 2024. First, there’s this standalone restaurant in North Loop and then there’s the second one down in Zilker, which took over what had been Korean barbecue restaurant Jjim. Chef Youngmin Noh focuses on his crispy-saucy Korean fried chicken, available in all sorts of formats and combinations (think wings, tenders, thighs), alongside rice cakes, chicken dumplings, and other smaller bites. Takeout orders can be placed online for Airport Boulevard and South Lamar; there are indoor dine-in services (South Lamar’s indoor dining room opens on Friday, April 5)." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
