Reviews
Soy-garlic chicken wings had fantastic flavor, the perfect amount of sauce (not overly saucy and dripping like American-style wings, but still fully coated), and the most delightfully crispy skin and batter. Unfortunately the chicken itself was a bit dry and likely overcooked. I was also surprised to see the store completely empty on a Sunday at noon, but there's plenty of indoor seating.
Who doesn't love Korean Fried Chicken?! Feels like the only Korean Fried Chicken in the area. I usually order takeout from here but they do have a decent indoor dining space. Chicken is usually pretty good, however the last time I ordered it was a little dry. Wish there was a tad bit more sauce. Nonetheless great flavor!
It wasn't very busy for a Friday night, but I don't know why because the food was pretty good! We loved the soy garlic chicken and it stayed crispy for our entire meal. We ordered the large combo and there was so much food. The rice cakes were ok. I would want to try the other dishes, but I can definitely see myself coming back!
Bar style restaurant, plentiful of seatings, many anime and Japanese themed decorations! They weren't ready to open by 3PM like Yelp listed but I gave them a call and they informed that it'll be another 10 mins before they do. Service was quick and we were the first customers when they open that day. It was quite hot that day so we got some cold drinks, peach lemonade and mango iced tea. The lemonade was not good, probably used Minute Maid. The iced tea was aight, not much mango flavor but it was better than the lemonade. Both comes with a lemon wedge, which helped to brighten up the drinks. For appetizer, we got the kimchi fries, it's so damn good. The fries are fresh out of the fryer, with tons of kimchis, scallions, red onions, and spicy mayo on top. Bomb dot com. As for chicken, we got the 20 soy garlic wings(for 2 people), can't go wrong with that flavor, but try the half&half soy garlic and spicy combo if you'd like some heat. It'll get you sweating but you will be going back for more. Comes with a side of pickled radish to cleanse the palate. The wings are fresh out of the fryer as well, super well seasoned and not dry inside. This is my 3rd time coming to this location for MFC, hits the spot every single time, one of my favorites of all-time!
Food is very good. Got the wings & fries combo with golden BBQ sauce for delivery and they were still perfectly fried and delicious. The golden BBQ reminds me of the 99 wing sauce but better.
