WHEN: Sunday @2pm - During COVID-19.
I thought that perhaps around 2pm after lunchtime it wouldn't be busy. Boy, was I wrong. There were a good amount of people there waiting for their food.
Around 1:55pm I was too late to place an order for the 2:15 curbside pick up slot, so I chose the the next: 2:30pm. Here's a tip: No matter how many times you arrive earlier than your time slot, you will never received your food earlier. Even if you arrive in the designated parking spot for curbside pick-up and hit the button "I'm here". Your food is usually ready at least 5 mins after your time-slot.
Heres how you order on the app:
1.) Choose your location
1.) Choose pick up option: at counter or curbside in car (where you'll enter your car info.)
2.) Choose your food
3.) Choose your time
4.) Upon arrival park in the spots labeled Curbside Pick-up.
5.) You should have received a text to confirm that your order.
6.) In the app, you can hit the button "I'm Here"
7.) You will receive a text when your food is about to come out.
Here's what I ordered:
KOREAN-INSPIRED FRIED CHICK'N - $7.99
This limited-time chicken sandwich features a spicy-sweet gochujang-glazed crispy chicken breast over white kimchi slaw and toasted sesame seeds. Shake Shack teamed up with Choi's Kimchi Co., a family-run kimchi biz from Portland, Oregon, to use their tangy white kimchi (salted, seasoned, and fermented veggies (this one includes Napa cabbage, daikon radish, and green onion)).
You know, even though I didn't get to eat it until about an hour later cuz of my commute, it was pretty darn tasty. I really enjoyed the spicy-sweet gochujang-glaze and kimchi. It has a tiny kick but totally manageable for someone who can't handle spicy food like me.
KOREAN GOCHUJANG CHICK'N BITES (6) - $5.49
Crispy, whole white meat chicken bites served with spicy-sweet gochujang mayo sauce. I got the 6-piece one.
Okay, so I thought they would cook the sauce into the chick'n bites like they would with the Koren-Inspired Fried Chick'n Sandwich. But you're really ordering Chick'n Bites plus $0.50 extra for a side of the sauce. The Chick'n Bites had a very nice crispy batter with nice flavoring, but its all super dry white meat on the inside. So you will definitely need some sauce! And man do I love that spicy-sweet gochujang mayo sauce! It's pretty much sweet Spicy-Mayo.
KOREAN GOCHUJANG FRIES - $3.65
Crispy crinkle cut fries served with spicy-sweet gochujang mayo sauce.
Same here...it's like you order regular fries and you pay $0.50 for the sauce.
Ofcourse I ordred a ShackBurger ($6.19) too! Gotta have my backup plan! That's because a friend went just a day before me and unfortunately had "a batch batch". She said some parts of the fried chicken wasn't even battered. I'm glad mine wasn't the case! Everything was delicious!
