I don't know what this is called but it's chicken with rice cakes, veggies, and a sweet/ spicy sauce. It was so yummy even my husband and son liked the food. I only wish it came with some rice, but the portions was great. I enjoyed the food so much, I even told my coworkers about it. Please go check them out. It's definitely worth it.

I ordered on GrubHub, so I can not speak to the customer service. The food was definitely a 5 out of 5 ?. I ordered the soy garlic chicken wings and fries. The wings were fried to perfection ??. They were crispy with the right amount of sauce. The fries were delicious. The orange sauce that comes with it is a little spicy but still tasty. I also ordered the soy garlic chicken and rice bowl. There was barely any sauce on it, but it was delicious. I enjoyed the milk and yogurt soda. FYI, there is only one flavor. I tried ordering again the next day, but they were closed. Next time!!
At first I was excited to try Korea fried chicken here but the customer service is abysmal. Earlier this week I came to this establishment to order food and was ignored by the staff when trying to order food. Please teach your staff better customer service, I will not be visiting this establishment again.

Mixed experience but the food tastes good usually.Dietary restrictions: Requested no sesame seeds in both my orders only to find sesame seeds mixed in with one of my orders. I had to give the meal away since I couldn't eat it.

Kimchi fries were cold in the center and lacked kimchi. They melted the cheese with a torch and consequently it tasted awful. Ended up binning most of it. The chicken didn't have much in the way of bold flavors. A very forgettable / regrettable meal. Try something more home style, and less main stream/ street. This just misses the mark of what korean food should be.

VERY excited to review The Chicken Lab today! They're located inside Cross Street Market, and they specialize in Korean fried chicken BUT THEY ALSO JUST STARTED SERVING BINGSOO, AND IT'S THE BEST BINGSOO I'VE HAD IN THE DMV. And yes, that required all caps in case you were wondering As for food, here's everything I got:Sandwich Combo ($12.95) - the highlight of my meal for sure (savory at least). I got spicy and LOVED IT! It had nice heat to it, and the sauce was so flavorful. Also, I thought it was a great value. $12.95 for a sammie, drink and fries? YES PLZ. And the sandwich was BIG, too.Chicken Gang-jeong ($14.95) - you get a nice amount of chicken + fried rice cake along with diced veggies and pickled radish on the side. I got the traditional flavor, and I thought it was solid. My fave part of this dish would actually be the rice cake though. I thought it was cooked really nicely, and it had this phenom texture that was addicting.Teriyaki Chicken & Shrimp Bowl ($12.95) - served with japchae (korean vermicelli noodz), salad and rice with a generous amount of protein! Apparently one of their more popular menu items b/c it's great for grab and go.Strawberry Bingsoo ($7.95) - OMGGGGGGGGGGG, THIS BINGSOO! My only regret was that my mom wasn't there to share it with me. She would've LOVED this. Unlike other binsoo's that are made with ice, this is made with milk, and the texture is so amazing. Honestly, I would come back for this alone, lol.Additional notes They're apparently opening a 2nd location soon which is exciting! I'll keep you guys posted once I know more.They offer Milkis + banana milk here which I LOVE! Banana milk is so nostalgic for me, lol. I got it all the time as a kid, and it was def one of my favorite drinks. Don't knock it 'til you try it.
Pretty tasty chicken! Enjoyed that there was also some vegetable stirfry and pickled daikon with the dish we got and that it wasn't just chicken.

We had the Korean BBQ Chicken. The service was nice, efficient, and the staff were pleasant. The food had a little spice but not much flavor. Not very Korean and small amount of rice. The quantity was good if you are hungry.

Counter serve contained in the Cross Street Market! They have bowls and sandwiches. Their chicken is pretty decent, but nothing special. We got a chicken bowl and a sandwich. There’s a lot of nearby general seating, which is very nice and sunny. There was some live music on the night that we went (it was kind of too loud, but it was fun).

The chicken sandwich was delicious, crispy, and fresh cooked to order. I recommend getting it spicy, it really is not very spicy so don't be scared of it, and the sweet and chili sauce is good on it. The pickles and coleslaw were crisp, nothing was soggy. If you have a craving for a good fried chicken sandwich this will hit the spot.
