Spicy chicken was very good. The only NOT good thing here, is that if you order to-go, you are not allowed to eat inside, you have to eat outside the restaurant. And the restroom was clean and fully stocked, with paper towels and soap.
I randomly picked this place up last time and tried it by chance, and it was so good that I came back again today. Compared to the other locations I usually go to, this one tasted noticeably better. Today, I intentionally placed a phone order and drove all the way to the Brea location — even though there are closer locations only 8, 11, and 18 minutes away. This one was about a 30-minute drive, but totally worth it. The half & half chicken was great, especially the seasoned (yangnyeom) flavor. The fried chicken was extra crispy, which I really liked. The soy garlic was tasty as well, though I personally wished it had a little more sauce. I’ll definitely be coming back again.
This place opened in May and I went there for the first time and ate inside the restaurant. They did a good job setting up the basics, and when I had a beer, they provided me with dry snacks and cheese sticks. It was the most delicious bb.q chicken I've had in the US, and the seasoned chicken in particular was really delicious. Since then, whenever I want to eat bb.q chicken, I've been going to this branch.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BBQ Chicken in Brea is hands down one of the best Korean fried chicken spots around! The chicken is always perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Their sauces are amazing—I especially love the honey garlic and Korean galbi, but honestly you can’t go wrong with any flavor. The portions are generous, the food comes out hot and fresh, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is casual but clean, making it a great spot to grab a quick meal with family or friends. If you’re craving authentic Korean fried chicken, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!
The kinchi fried rice with egg is SO good! The chicken is tender and juicy! You literally see the steam come out of it when you cut in! Had the secret sauce and it has a tangy sweet flavor but did not disappoint!
