Unpopular opinion but not a fan of the chicken wings. They are too big and saucy. The bibimbap is a much better order here. It gets crowded and hard to find a place to sit and eat since it’s a small place. Also very loud to have conversation.

The hype is warranted. Seoul Sassy sauce is the way to go if you haven't been here before. Lots of methods for enjoying chicken – rice bowl, jumbo wings, chicken sandwiches – all good!
My first time eating here. Korean BBQ chicken was spectacular. I definitely ate more than my share. I also appreciated the crisp hot fries. I'll definitely be back!

Excellent fried chicken. I was craving some delicious crispy wings and I decided to grab lunch with a friend here. It was a great experience and the drumsticks I ordered were massive so watch how many you order. Will be returning!

You would think, with so many businesses jacking up their prices, that Crisp would be expensive but nope.5 giant drumsticks with a ton of delicious sauce is $10. Big Buddha Bowl with a bunch of veggies also $10. Could easily make 2, 3, maybe 4 meals out of it for what it would cost 2 people at McDonalds to eat greasy slop. The owner is very courteous and professional as well. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

Only had the wings. They re very large, cripsy, but a bit on the dry side. Sauces were good. Would come back to try some of their other stuff.

We’ve only tried the wings and they’re so good! Love that they’re big and actually whole. Most of the time in other places, the chicken wings are separated into drumettes and wingettes (tips are discarded) and they count them as 2 separate pcs already. But here in Crisp, they really give whole wings, with all of its parts, counted as one! We always get the 10pcs (half sassy, half bbq). The BBQ flavor is a personal favorite and the spice level for me is perfect (it’s Korean-style spicy bbq and not American-style sweet/smoky bbq btw). Fair warning though, don’t expect crispy fried chicken wings.Parking: It’s a busy street with lots of other restaurants/cafes so the paid street parking around the area is almost always full.

Very good tasting wings ??It's just a very small place so sitting down is limited.. almost feels like we were sitting on top of each other. Other wise a cute little place on north side of

Delicious food but (arguably) more important-- fantastic vibes in the establishment itself. Although the space is small, if you are treating yourself to Crisp I recommend eating there. Bench seating, lovely hustle and bustle, great people watching.
Not only the best chicken wings I’ve ever had, but some of the best food I’ve ever had as well.

10 years later, the wings are still amazing! Small restaurant and most people order out because of how small it is. It's BYOB if you dine in. Great price also because the wings are huge like they've always been. Fries and mushrooms are both great. You can't go wrong here.
