“Love the delicious, quality Korean food like grandma used to make for us growing up matched with the tasty innovations like the Bokki Fries, KFire Balls, and now KFire Wings! Wings are only at the old town location rt now - real tasty. Haven’t had them to-go yet, just dine-in. Wings go real well with KFire Balls or a rice plate. Everything goes well with kimchi.”
“Great place! Going into this place the first time I didn’t know what to expect and didn’t think much of it BUT after ordering I’m hooked. I got the chicken bowl spicy and the quality of the chicken is literally cooked to perfection, flavors are there and good size. Pricing is affordable too! The service is kind and they recognized me by name. Check this out guys! Simple & healthy food.”
“Great quality, fresh and delicious meal for less than $20. I'll definitely be back!”
“This was delicious, the spicy chicken was grilled after being ordered and full of flavor. Loved the kimchi and spicy pickles. With a drink it came out to be $17”
“What a nice place. Glad I finally tried it. I live nearby and pass it all the time on my way to the Indian place next door. Food taste fresh and you can see them make it. This place was a solid 4. I took a star off because I wasn’t crazy about the salad or Korean Mu Radish. I’ve had better Mu Radish elsewhere. The ginger beef and spicy chicken were solid. I’ll be back. Service was excellent.”
“Got both the bokki fries and spicy chicken for delivery. I was surprised with how well the rice cakes traveled. They weren't perfect but I did enjoy the sauce that it was smothered in. The spicy chicken was a little burnt in some places but provided an alright flavor. The corn gave some sweetness and the mushrooms some umami. I wish it came with a sauce though since the chicken and rice were both on the drier side. Not bad for delivery.”
“Wings were pretty good, but the chicken lunch special wasn't anything special at all.”
“I would rate this place higher if they didn't screw up my order twice. First time, I ordered Spicy chicken, but got Soy. The second time I ordered Spicy chicken only to get Kalbi for no reason. The first time is forgivable given Soy and Spicy chicken aren't too different. The second is unforgivable because it is nowhere near what I ordered. I won't go here again if I can't rely on the service.”
“We had kfire catered to our office and it was an absolute hit. Really great flavor and quality. Also traveled extremely well.”
“Tried this spot out for the first time and absolutely loved it. I got the ginger beef plate and wasn’t sure I’d like the sides but wow, they were all fire! Try the daikon, it was soooooo good. And the eggroll - fantastic, gimme 14 of em! There was also a secret menu too which threw me for a loop so 100% will be back.”
