"Founded by two longtime friends, Peter Chung and Sean Chang, Mukja Korean Fried Chicken in Midtown melds Korean flavors and ingredients into its wings and fried chicken on the menu. Expect wings at this counter-service restaurant paired with pickled radishes and a choice of sauces, including Korean sweet heat and soy garlic or chicken and waffles infused with garlic, jalapeños, scallions, and honey butter, all of which made Eater Atlanta’s Best Dishes roundup in January. Don’t forget about sides, which include kimchi mac and cheese and Korean coleslaw made with red cabbage and scallions tossed in gochugaru vinaigrette." - Eater Staff, Henna Bakshi
"Mukja Korean Fried Chicken is not a place where you have to ask for your chicken fried hard—it's standard here. The Midtown spot has everything we love in an excellent fried bird: a light crispy exterior (where the chicken doesn't get lost in breading), an inside that stays tender and juicy, and savory seasonings that penetrate deep into the meat. Slide through for the half bird combo with tasty sides like elbow macaroni in smoked gouda sauce or the spicy Korean slaw loaded with scallion and garlic. And with free Midtown parking, nothing should keep you from joining Mukja's crew of takeout regulars and lunching coworkers who, like us, revere this place." - jacinta howard
"Mukja serves some of the best Korean fried chicken in Midtown, including wings. The eight-piece drums and flats order comes with a large dipping sauce of your choosing — go for the Korean sweet heat or A-T-Hell for a spicy kick. The cheesy powder fries on the side are a must. Mukja made our roundup of the Best Dishes Eater Atlanta Ate in January." - Mike Jordan, Henna Bakshi
"A Korean restaurant known for its Korean fried chicken and fried chicken sando, perfect for Super Bowl watch party snacks." - Henna Bakshi
"Mukja Korean Fried Chicken is the place to go when you’re in Midtown for lunch and craving fried chicken. Dine in for a quick meal at this fast-casual spot, which makes some of Atlanta’s crispiest, most savory chicken. Or, grab takeout for a late dinner since they’re open until 10pm. Ordering the half bird combo (less than $28) is a smart choice because it comes with a drink, double the meat, and triple the sides of the $14 quarter bird combo. Because the sides are tasty, you shouldn't have to choose between the elbow macaroni in smoked gouda sauce or spicy Korean slaw loaded with scallion and garlic.
