Love this place! It's an absolute hole in the wall (corner of a big strip mall), but dang is it worth the visit. The wings are always crispy, and sauces are beyond what you'll ever get at a bdubs -- this place knows what they are doing! The service was quick and friendly as well. I'll definitely be back to try the burgers.

Excellent food good portions, never had a bad meal here. This place offers a little bit of Korean fusion with some classics thrown in. The kickin burger is delicious and the katsu is also huge and very yummy. There's not much by way of ambiance but the food is good. Service is decent. The website shows more Korean food than what's on the menu they usually give us. May have to ask about it next time!

The burgers were delicious, juicy and fresh. The people there were very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy, kind of like a dive bar but in an approachable way. Would go again :) also the waffle fries were so crispy!

Small, clean location with a small bar. Looks like it's set up for karaoke too. The gentleman who took my order was very polite. He also helped in the kitchen. The menu featured Korean and American food. I wanted wings but I had chicken twice the day before so I went with the Kicken Burger with bacon instead. It was $16 for a combo, which seems a little high but the time I spend in the area the more I learn it's about average. I got to watch them cook the burger patties on the flat top and then give them a nice char grill. It was huge, almost overpowered by all of the toppings. A big slice of grilled onion, a hunk of tomato, lettuce, bacon... I had to remove some of it to enjoy the burger. The burger itself was well seasoned and tasty with a grilled bun and good sauce. Yes, the sauce was kickin' it a little bit. It came with standard crinkle fries but they were crisp and there were lots of them. More than I could finish.

They have the best Korean fried chicken in my opinion. Humble and kind owners. Affordable and simple place with good food.

This place is a Korean-run mom and pop operation. They have a very unassuming storefront at the north end of of the Golf Glen Mart Plaza strip mall, and a homey, casual, and small dining space with a bar and a few tables. We heard from a Korean friend that it becomes a karaoke hangout in the late evenings, not that that is any driver for our business, but we also heard they make decent servings here as well. We tried a carryout order of their whole Korean fried chicken ($16.95). The chicken was fresh and piping hot and very good, though the flavoring/spice level could have been a notch higher. The did provide a container of hot sauce though to be used as you like. We'll likely return to try a burger here as well as their chicken wings at some point.
