“Crisp is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Jae and GM Calvin and manager Eric and Jonny is extremely awesome. The restaurant is in good condition. Well run. Amazing Korean wings. Must come back. 10/10.”
“Definitely the best Korean style wings in the city and top 5 wings overall. Their spicy is definitely spicy, which is great as lots of other places hot is just not that hot. Their other non-wing food is also solid, but I would be hard pressed to not get the wings every time I go. Great option for take out or eating in.”
“The last time I had their wings was 7 years ago and I’m extremely happy to see that their wings are still the best I’ve had in Chicago. My wife loved their bbq wings and she said she can’t wait to try them again!”
“No frills Korean BBQ spot with tight seating, great food, reasonable food, and friendly service. I highly recommend their soul sassy sauce, and the star of the show is the fried chicken sandwich.”
“I have read about this place over the last couple of months and it caught my attention again after winning (another) mention as best chicken wing in Chicago. While the wings did not disappoint and Crisp’s sauces are worth every bit of the hype, Qon my very first visit the pomme frites took center stage. They were certainly tasty on their own, but dipped in the aforementioned sauces was pure perfection. Bravo folks! I look forward to my next visit!”
“Korean fried chicken gem!! So delicious, So flavorful, crunchy, moist. The wings are freaking huge! The sauces on the table added extra to the chicken. I ordered the 5 peace whole chicken wings half Seoul sassy and half crispy bbq perfect serving amount for one person. Super Cheap for what your getting in return. Only negative is The place is small and has really bad AC and large tables that you can share with others. The staff was great 100% recommend!!”
“Went for dinner to try the wings. I got the garlic ones and bbq ones. They are very big so 10 was enough for two of us with leftovers. Fries were your basic fries but wings were good. Not as good as expected but still good. Unsure if I will be back. I would say to give it a try for the one time.”
“The crispy chicken bowl was a sizeable portion. It felt monotonous after eating for a while; it left me wanting some vegetables or pickles. The sauces helped bring back some character. Some of the chicken pieces were dry and a bit hard.”
