This CM also has soju and beer, and price is affordable and not too high! Service is there for you if you need anything, but without pressing too much, which I like! Overall, this is a great place!”

“This is me and my partner's favorite Korean Fried Chicken spot. We've once ordered from here 6 times in a span of two months. The original soy garlic chicken is my favorite, but the curry and snow onion are delicious as well. Sometimes, we order the cheese curds which is also super yummy. And I appreciate the free radish that the chicken comes with when we dine in. This place is a staple for us and is miles better than Bonchon.”
