Craving for Korean fried chicken locally, decided to have take out. Placed my order via Yelp, received order acknowledgment and order ready for pick up via text. Curiously, this operation is with a Ramen 101 restaurant. Walk up to the Grubhub counter, found my order. Packed in a carton, the 10 piece nuggets dressed in sweet and slightly spicy sauce with splash of mayo. The chicken was tender, sweet with a hint of spiciness. For the price ($14.99) was reasonably and within market. I had enjoyed them and will come back to try other flavors.
Just wanted something to order with our Uber eats boba and this came up as a suggestion... it was so good! Definitely going to order repeatedly when we're home. Pleasantly surprised, and had no idea what we were even ordering. Forgot to take pictures tho!
This place is very good for a quick chicken takeout dinner! I had 3 of their dipping sauce flavors, their Korean taco trio, and their glazed fried chicken with their sweet and spicy sauce. This location is inside a Ramen 101, so when you order make sure to head over to the counter/register area to their designated pick up station. White sauce- Very similar to a kewpie mayo sauce. Slightly sweeter than mayo but the resemblance is there. Green sauce- this sauce has a slightly more subtle taste to it. It was similar to a yogurt sauce without the tartness to it Chipotle aioli- my favorite sauce of the three, flavorful, slightly smokey, perfect with any of the chicken Sweet and spicy glazed chicken- this one was more sweet than spicy, the glaze added a finger licking touch to the chicken, very good if you like sweet soy garlic type sauces Korean taco trio- essentially their chicken, but in a taco form. The bulgogi taco, however blew my mind. I didn't expect this to be that good! Sweet, tender, loaded with beef, all wrapped in a tortilla. The next time I would just get three of these and call it a day.
So incredibly impressed!! Was browsing Uber eats and came across this place. Never heard of it and couldn't even locate it on Yelp or google. The location was showing up around ramen 101 so decided to go in to inquire before trying it because I never like to try a place without any reviews or recommendations. The ramen 101 employee was so helpful and told me all about the menu and taste of the food. It helped that she had already tried the food and boy was she right about everything and I was sold! Apparently they operate from within ramen 101 for the winter season and it's made in their kitchen. We tried the soy garlic Korean fried chicken w white sauce. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and sauced. A bit on the sweet side and very very tasty. Kind of tastes similar to a Peking style pork chop flavor. But it reminded me of the days when my mom would make home cooked sweet Japanese fried chicken. The mayo was also a sweet mayo. We loved it! The portions are huge and they fill the box to the brim with chicken. If you have sides, it can easily feed 2-3 people. It's thigh meat so it's very tender. They only operate thru delivery platforms like ubereats and have been there for just a few weeks. I would definitely return. Have already recommended this place to family.
