Do not get the Caribbean bowl. It was dry and there was something yellow, maybe that was the egg. I have no clue. Only the chicken was okay. I ended up throwing it

This is coming from someone who lived in South Korea for a year, and is very picky about kimchi. The food here was delicious! Kimchicken Rice Bowl!

I am addicted to Gangum Style wings. I seek them out all over the USA but this is the store that introduced me to them. Best wings in existence IMO:) Will go there straight from the airport this evening before I head south to Kingston:) Keep up the great work. You guys rock

This is literally MY FAVORITE chicken spot right now in Albany, nothing beats the flavor or the price. The signature rice bowls are my favorite thing to order since they added them, I could eat them all day long. The chicken itself is always juicy and crunchy and the flavors are great. My interaction with the staff has always been pleasant. I order take out delivery and I've dined in once. The dine in experience is great is a nice little mix culture setting I love it. IF you want to try some of the best fried chicken this is your spot.

I really enjoyed this meal. The wings are done when ordering, crispy and very juice. The location is clean and their customer service is perfect, very patient with my friends and I who have never been at this spot.My friend and I got different flavors so we can share . 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area.

Some of the best fast food wings you can get, in my opinion. I got the spiciest option, and it was so flavorful and good! Also, great service from the individuals there. Took maybe 15 minutes while ordering at the front. Absolutely recommend!

Good Korean style chicken, honey garlic and special sauce are the bomb.

This place was recommended to me by a coworker so I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. The chicken was superb. After a lifetime of American fried chicken, I'm pleased to say that Korean chicken is even better and it comes in more varieties. I took the chicken home to eat while I was watching my favorite Korean drama on Netflix: Crash Landing on You. And guess what? The characters were eating bbq chicken in the show!!!

Best chicken wings in Albany by a landslide! A little pricy, but well worth the money! I only wish they had a healthier choice for sides.

I ordered and paid via their website and picked up. I got the maple crunch bone in wings (limited time flavor) and the cheeseling boneless wings with pickled radish. It takes almost an hour for it to be ready so plan accordingly. The food is fresh, fabulously crispy and has generous sauce on it. The only downside to this place is the location. It's a tiny place just before downtown Albany and amidst almost no parking. I drove around the block 3 times looking for a spot. There is a public lot a block away but you have to pay and since i wasn't dining it, I didnt want to pay to get takeout. But other than that, it's excellent. Once you have Korean fried chicken, it's hard to settle for anything else.

Ordered a few take outs. There have been times when the chicken tasted off or the sauce was off. Waiting for a better korean fried chicken

I've got a new go-to place for fried chicken. In my opinion, Korean fried chicken is second to none.According to some online posts, the frying method renders out the fat in the skin. I don't know if that's accurate. I thought the skin was removed. I'll have to ask the staff next time. I do know that it was super crispy and delish. It's served with pickled turnip. BB.Q Chicken is a Korean chain that's branched out internationally.I got the golden fried chicken which is basic, but there are many different flavors including spicy and some that are slightly sweet.I saw one customer review that said now "you can feel famous" eating Korean fried chicken. That's because fried chicken is always featured in K-dramas.The spicy rice cakes with fish cakes are also sometimes featured in the shows. I ordered some. Rice cakes are popular Asian cuisine, but they're a bit heavy and very filling. I couldn't finish the order. It was too large.I liked the staff. They were friendly and helpful. The place was busy even after 2pm. I placed my order online. When I got there I still had a 10 minute wait. It seems a lot of lunch orders were placed around 2pm by customers who appeared to be mostly college or post-college age. The fried chicken was worth the wait. The restaurant is small, clean, cute and modern. There are some tables for those who want to eat-in,but it seems most of the orders were for take out. I can't wait to come back to try some of the spicy fried chicken. I think it was called Gangnam chicken.

I ordered a golden whole chicken and rice cakes. This was my first visit. I’ve heard so much about the great chicken. I was not disappointed. Korean-style fried chicken isn’t greasy and it doesn’t include the same rubbery skin as American fried chicken. It’s so much better! The rice cakes were spicy and the fish cakes were definitely a bit fishy. They weren’t bad but the order was too big to finish. The staff was running behind on my order. For some reason, a lot of lunch orders came in at about 2pm. I think I waited about 10 minutes, but the staff was very nice and friendly. The food was well worth the wait. The restaurant is small but clean and cute. I can’t wait to try some of the spicy chicken dishes.Parking: There is metered parking in the area.
