If I didn't eat with a Korean, I wouldn't know what to do with the dish. I would have eaten it with my chopsticks.
Crispy Spicy Chicken

Review of Restaurant:
  • Why did I come to this restaurant?

My Korean friend brought us to this place. I would never venture here if it wasn't for him. This is a chicken slaughterhouse, pretty much every dish is chicken. Definitely not vegetarian-friendly. Another speciality is the spiciness of the food. We have a few in the group who can devour hot peppers. Come to this restaurant if you like spicy chicken.
  • What did I think of the food and service?

The food was good but very spicy. This is not recommended if you can't take much spicy food. You will need some milk handy or in my case, Korean beer.

My only complaint with this restaurant is that there is no explanation on the special steamed rice dish. They assumed that you know how to eat it. Luckily the Korean in the our group was able to assemble the balls (very experienced ball maker)
  • How did my sensitive stomach feel?

The craving for chicken sidetracked my stomach. It only hungers for poultry.

Remember Foghorn Leghorn from Looney Tunes? Well, it's a sad day for his family. Here is a compilation of his best lines from YouTube as a tribute to his family.
