their fried chicken is nice in size and tasty:)) We ended up hear by chance. We were going to eat at Like Like Drive Inn, not knowing they were no longer there, LOL. This place was open and we thought ah lets try it thinking we were going to eat Korean food, hehe. Well this place sells Korean fried chicken and fried rice. We ordered the family bucket of 25 pieces ans let me tell you, this was ay more than enough for 4 of us. We actually left with left overs. We ordered 1 of each of the fried rice and all split it and again it was enough for us four adults. Cute little place, would definitely come for the chicken again if im in the area :))
Great KFC. If the prices weren't so high, it would definitely be a 5. Don't even know if the prices are their fault. Did you hear about the chicken farms getting busted for price fixing (since before 2018) in the Midwest? And the owner was running for congress this year, was... I hope. Went again this weekend and they didn't disappoint. Bonus is that they are next door to the ban chan store.
Finally got to eat here. I ate at the restaurant in Korea and wanted to the branch here. We got the Mother's Day special. The chicken sampler had soy, red and honey. The soy chicken was good. Similar to what we had in Korea. The honey had a right amount of sweetness. I wasn't brave enough to try the Red. My husband tried it and said it was spicy. The dookbooki had a delayed heat. The garlic fried rice was not overpowering but did have strong garlic smell. I loved the cheese balls. It is deep fried mochi stuffed with cheese. There was a slight sweetness that I finally figured out was cream cheese. The staff remembered to let me know when the restroom key returned and escorted me. The lower star is because the parking lot is terrible. Entrance is on Keeamoku. It is tight and always full.
***3.5 STARS*** Just the other day my sister asked if I had any dinner plans, in which I originally was planning to stay home on my precious night off. She extended me an invite to join them for KFC (Korean fried chicken), in particular Kyochon, located near door to Yogur Story on Keeaumoku Street. Kyochon started in 1991 and is one of the largest KFC restaurants in South Korea with over 1200 locations in Korea and has expanded to over 70 international locations and can be located in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, United States, and United Arab Emirates. We got there shortly after 7pm and had 3 parties dining in and a few people waiting for their carryout order. Favorite nephew by default had ordered a combo of their 4 types of KFC with sides of potato wedges, garlic butter fried rice and daikon. He was quoted a 40mim wait. When I found out the combo only offered drumettes and flats, I wanted to order a whole chicken to satisfy my liking of breast meat and boney pieces. So after consulting with the family I got a whole soy garlic chicken and some daikon. I was quoted a 45min wait but I didn't mind as I read the food is made to order. After paying we secured a table and sat down. I listened to my family's stories of their trip to Korea last month, which included their experience at Kyochon. THE VERDICT: How wrong I was with hopes of eating freshly made chicken and sides. The chicken, potatoes and rice were all premade and served to us lukewarm. I was tempted to send the food back as we clearly were disappointed but let it go. The hot and Yangnyum chicken wings were clearly my favorite as the flavors shined. But then again, the chicken wings were barely warm. The soy garlic was not bad but would have preferred bolder flavors. The honey wings were a disappointment as it was bland to me. I had high hopes for the potato wedges but it was cold so one wedge was enough for me. The garlic butter fried rice was tasty but again, would have preferred it temperature hot. The best side was the daikon as it was cool and enjoyed the crunch when eating the nicely cut cubes. I appreciated the simplicity of its interior and its brightness. The staff, in particular the cashier, was a little off when she took my order. I made it clear that I wanted a whole soy garlic chicken but she got my order wrong and caught her error so I was able to fix it before finalizing my food order. Overall, mixed feelings at Kyochon where I'd be game for a return visit but I will not tolerate being served premade chicken served to me barely warm. I will make sure if my chicken will be made fresh and if it's not guaranteed, I see myself walking out and patronizing another business as the prices here are on the high side and Kyochon should be held accountable for their food quality.
The fried chicken wings here are excellent. It's the best Korean Fried Chicken wings that I've had on the island. Yes, the wait is long. They make it when it's ordered, so it's always fresh. That's what makes it so good. What I do is order ahead of time on their app. I tell them what time I'm picking up and when I get there it's ready for me. I got the Wing Series Sampler Double $23.99. It comes with six soy garlic wings, six red wings and six honey wings. My favorite was the soy garlic. It was crispy, savory and full of garlic flavor. The honey tasted exactly like the soy garlic, except on the sweeter side. They probably just add honey to the soy garlic. The red was definitely spicy. It was burning my mouth and throat. It should be fine if you eat spicy, which I don't. I also ordered the Garlic Butter Fried Rice $12.99. It was ok, but lacked flavor. Maybe I'm just used to my Chinese fried rice with all the different ingredients.
Tried another KFC (Korean fried chicken) place! Honey chicken wings are yummy!! Must order a side radish for refreshment! Clean eating area and cute paper bag! Good service Recommend to try everyone!
Kyochon Chicken is a must try. It is crispy, delicious and perfectly coated. We ordered the Shoyu Garlic Wings and Honey Boneless Wings. While I am a Wing eater, there are times where you just don't want to fuss with the mess of eating the bone in wings... for me this is usually while I'm in the car... and driving!! While I must say I've never liked boneless wings, this one steals the show. It's probably because the chicken isn't Wing meat or some processed nugget? I'm guessing they are boneless thighs? The Pro: Unlike usual "Asian" prepared chicken, you won't find odd cuts, gristle or an occasional knuckle! Yes, you know you are eating quality chicken! As far as the Shoyu Garlic wings, those were great too. The Shoyu Garlic is their best seller so I had to try it. It is nice and garlicky and not too sweet. You can choose any sauce on the wings and also the boneless. While I loved both, I'd probably return for the Honey Boneless wings. The only Con is that it is pretty pricey, but hey, all food is now days! Also, forgot to mention to try and call in your order unless you want to wait a good 30 minutes. My order took a while!! Try Kyochon for a delicious and quality fried chicken!
