The sauced chicken is worth trying, but the plain is a must. Very light, crunchy coating. No post-KFC gutache/regret. Plus, it's an interesting place and the hosts can be really charming if they're not overwhelmed. No mashed and gravy, but the lemon soju is nice.

It's a bare-bones Korean joint that fries the chicken to order, so you're sometimes in for a bit of a wait. But he swears it's worth it. You can order the chicken unadorned or with spicy sauce. The chicken comes with iceberg salad, and Korean pickled white radish. Five pieces of chicken will set you back $6.99. Hi Moe:

My apologies for the confusion, but it was what our server originally told us. In any event, the post above has been corrected to reflect the true dates that fried chicken lovers can indeed satisfy their craving.

Anyone know where you can get it in the South Bay? (I don't mean the fine dining version, but gooood fried chicken has been eclipsed by the Colonel.) And I had to comment about "Clark Farm’s hen eggs" on the Keller menu. As opposed to, uh, rooster eggs? Sigh, food marketing. Mmmmm, I miss good fried chicken.
