For a million dollar fried chicken investment, I am both surprised and not surprised by the quality of the dishes and the price point. Awesome decor and vibe. Service is… a bit scattered.
To cut the chase, three most important things:
1️⃣ do the dinner bucket deal (no bucket for lunch)
2️⃣ the golden original is the best
3️⃣ try the green cilantro aioli (came with chicken) with the lettuce salad (part of banchan), you will thank me later
We did all three flavors, and both of us agree the golden original is the best. For a gluten free fried chicken, this is insanely crispy and good: GBD, golden, brown, delicious. The chicken inside is crazy moist and juicy.
The other two… I forgot their flavors but I wasn’t impressed.
The sauces are:
1. Jun Verde – a creamy, citrusy green cilantroy mayo sauce. Our fav!!
2. Honey Mustard – a sweet and tangy sauce, tasted very wasabi forward.
3. Pepper Parm – savory with a peppery kick and Parmesan flavor. If you pair this with lettuce 🥗 , you get the Caesar salad.
4. Gochujang BBQ – a smoky, spicy Korean-style barbecue sauce. The most underwhelming one to my personal preferences.
Chicken consommé with chives was great, both as appetizer and palate cleanser.
Banchans include
1. Sweet sour radish (my Korean said it is sacrilegious not to include it with fried chicken)
2. Celery
3. Kimchi
4. Lettuce salad
The perilla oil noodle it came with the set is worth noting. Even if jt costs, I would be happy paying for it. It is umami, flavorful, and cold and refreshing compared to the fried 🍗 + sauce.
The finisher is a fro-yo topped with very tangy (positive way) yuzu sauce. Loved it. Came very very slow though.
Definitely a steal if you can scoop a reservation and do the bucket deal. Ofc if you order other things (aka. golden bugbears etc), it won’t be much of a steal, but you get delicious food either ways.

Such a great find with so many exciting vegan/gluten free options, outdoor seating, and super welcoming and friendly staff. I even had a chance to meet the owner who gave me some great recommendations! Definitely a must try if you’re looking for a fun take on Vegan BBQ!
