Drop what you're doing and run to "I Got My Sound Chicken". This place is actually a hidden gem that deserves all the hype. After seeing it had 5 stars on Yelp, I knew I had to give it a try.
They're located in a big plaza, but just a heads-up -- parking can be tricky on busy days. We had to circle around a few times before finally snagging a spot.
As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you're greeted by neon lights, retro vibes, and walls decked out with vintage stereos + radios, and music-themed decor. It's clear that a lot of thought and energy went into creating the space -- it's like stepping into a nostalgic, music-lover's dream.
After some deliberation and help from our server, we ordered the apple topoki, lemon curry pepper fries, and the stars of the show: the honey luv rap + gim ballad wings!
First and foremost -- their chicken is INCREDIBLY juicy, perfectly seasoned, and has that addictive crunch that makes you want more! Every bite tastes like it was made with love (and probably a secret family recipe I'd pay good money for).
The honey luv rap is your typical soy flavored wing that I definitely feel like I've had elsewhere before. The gim ballad, on the other hand, had such a unique flavor--unlike anything I've tried before--and I truly enjoyed it. The fact that the wings are sooo crispy yet remain so juicy and tender on the inside...best thing ever!
The apple topoki was such a cool twist on the traditional Korean dish--just keep in mind that it is a bit spicy LOL, definitely had me chugging my water.
The staff is super friendly, service is quick, and the portions? Generous. Had to pack a little to-go container because we were so stuffed LOL. You definitely get your money's worth, even if the prices lean a little on the higher side.
Whether you're a big chicken fan or just looking for your next go-to lunch spot, this place will definitely exceed your expectations, like it did mine. I'm already planning my next visit!
