The spice is no joke! I'm from nashville and, back home, they know how to make it hot but also have flavor, which is what I was hoping for...and this place did not disappoint. The fries were also amazing, though I felt like a fraud, even thinking about dipping them in ketchup. But I did. And they were still soooooo good. The place can get really claustrophobic really fast. Grab some chicken to go and eat it walking down the street.
I don't even think I like fried chicken anymore unless it's from here. Everything from the food, smaller dishes, and bubble tea is always exceptional and delicious.
I love places with smaller and simpler menus. It means they are committed to honing their craft and making those few items extremely well. I'll admit that a lack of sauce choices is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. If I were able to eat here on a regular basis I'd want more options. On the opposite end of the spectrum they offer an insane amount of drink choices. It would be nice to meet in the middle somewhere.
As for what we ordered it was amazing. Hot, crispy and delicious chicken. My son got his chicken plain and loved it. Our drinks were good as far as my review goes but the strawberry milk tea my son said he wanted wasn't a hit once he tried it. I think the flavoring was a bit too artificial for his taste.
For me to make the trek downtown I need to be sure the food and experience are worth the hassle of traveling with the kid(s), the time spent driving and the added expense and annoyance of parking. I'm very glad I make the trip here today and looking forward to doing it again.
Highly recommended, great flavors, minimum spice.
Perfect little Korean Fried chicken bites!
Bubble Tea is very aromatic and delicious.
Service is straight up, no frills.
The Korean fried wings are amazing! I like the sweet & spicy sauce. They’re so crispy and crave-able. Sometimes a slight wait when they’re busy in the evening - but always v friendly! Recommend!
This place is great as a quick in and out. The chicken, tea, and Tteokbokki were good, and I'd definitely grab it again if I we're in Oakland craving chicken.
Pros:
Great price
Korean deep fry style chicken is delicious
Quick order to eating time (20 minutes)
Plenty of sauce for the normal chicken
Cons:
Wings and drums aren't very big
Not a lot of sauce on the boneless bits
Sweet and spicy sauce is a 0 on the spicy scale
Tapioca balls aren't the best we've had around, probably just our preference

Came to visit and was not disappointed. The cashier was upbeat and engaging with the customers, the choices of bubble tea were stupendous, and the chicken was fantastic. If I recall, they stop serving chicken at 9pm and stop serving drinks at 920pm
Solid value and delicious!
We both got the Chicken Gang Jeong. The Spicy Soy Garlic knocked me on my butt but was 'legit' for my spicy loving husband! The Sweet and Spicy was much more my pace :)
The seasoned fries were a tasty addition, and the Taro milk tea with lychee burstings was delicious.
Notes:
No veggie dishes! You will feel the salt in your body afterward haha.
No fountain drinks. Only water is bottled water (not free).
Great food, the spicy soy garlic is very good and I love all the variety of bubble tea flavors. This is a small business with few people so there might be a little wait if there are a lot of people and it seems like there is no dine-in because the place is so small. Very good price and good food.
Love this place! Very crispy and tasty seasoning. Although each piece of chicken is a bit on the smaller side, the quality makes up for it. I highly recommend visiting this place.
Great food & fast service. In the summer, the storefront is opened like a patio, giving it an edge over the other restaurants on this block. The only downside is that recently the website for ordering pickup ahead of time stopped allowing you to order beverages, so I have to order & wait in store. The milk tea was certainly worth waiting for, but it's slightly less convenient on a busy workday.
Best fried chicken wings in Pittsburgh? Very possible. It's always so crispy and flavored well. Their dumplings and takoyaki are fantastic as well. 10/10! I recommend the spicy soy garlic wings.
