Atmosphere is great. Great for a night out and great for a date. Tv for sports and shows and the music is great. Food is really good. Chicken is crunchy and tender. Fries are crunchy and fluffy. Personally think it’s the best option for Korean fried chicken in salt lake.

The food was fresh, hot and delicious. Hubby and I ordered the Bulgogi mac n cheese, Bulgogi over rice, 5 piece chicken finger meal, and the 7 piece wing meal. The mild flavor was delicious on the chicken fingers not spicy at all, perfect for those who don't really do spicy like me. Hubby got spicy wings and he said they were full of flavor and they had a kick that he enjoyed. I definitely recommend the Bulgogi over rice bowl and the chicken fingers. The Bulgogi mac n cheese was good and cheesy, but very filling. As far as pricing, it was a bit on the higher end, but it made sense for the amount we ordered to try out the food. Review based on a Sunday at noon, so the atmosphere was chill.

I tried this place for lunch and loved it! It was mid- afternoon, so it wasn't crowded or too busy. The service was excellent! I did order too much food, so I had leftovers. I loved everything I ordered. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. The bulgogi Mac and cheese was delicious. Cooked perfectly. Served in a ceramic dish, rather than disposable, so it felt nicer. I ordered the wings, which were delicious. I only wished there was some dipping sauce on the side, but I didn't ask. I didn't see any at the condiment station. The fries were good but needed more salt for my taste. Everything was served piping hot. New, clean, modern and comfortable restaurant. Lots of parking

I tried this wing place for the first time and ordered 10 wings, split between half mild and half hot—definitely the way to go! Since these are the only two sauces available, I highly recommend mixing both instead of sticking to just one flavor. Eating all 10 wings with a single sauce might be a bit too much. The hot wings are truly spicy, with a strong kick, but having a mild one in between really helps balance it out. On the other hand, the mild wings have good flavor but can be a bit salty, so alternating between the two makes the whole meal more enjoyable. They also serve radish on the side, which was a pleasant surprise—refreshing and perfect for cleansing the palate between bites. The wings themselves were excellent: super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just the way great wings should be. The service was excellent as well. You place your order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table when it’s ready. The staff was friendly, helpful, and offered great suggestions, which was especially nice for a first-time visit. The atmosphere is also a big plus. The place has a relaxed sports bar feel with multiple TVs showing games and plenty of tables. It’s a comfortable spot whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or settling in to watch a game with friends. Overall, a very good experience—simple menu but well-executed.

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: N/A - Did Take Out Value: 5/5 Tried out Mad Chicken and it was a good first experience ! We ordered takeout and got the 7 piece chicken wings, biology mac and cheese and an order of plain fries. Everything was hot and fresh by the time we picked up the order, which took about 30 minutes. The price was ok, not super cheap but not too expensive. I wish out bulgogi mac and cheese had more meat for the price ($12) but the mac and cheese itself had a pretty decent flavor. The Bulgogi Mac and Cheese and Bulgogi Quesadilla are probably what makes this place a bit more unique in the sea of chicken restaurants in the area. Worth a try!

Decided to try this place after seeing it was #1 in New York. The chicken is super crispy and juicy, the sauce is amazing, the toast is great and the fries are crispy! Everything here was absolutely delicious. I had the number three meal which came with 5 fingers, fries, toast and a drink. It was too much food - I couldn’t finish it! Portion sizes are amazing. Chicken came out pretty fast as well. Some of the best I’ve had in a while. Would highly recommend to anyone in the SLC area looking for a filling and tasty dinner.

Stopped by to check it out. Placed a take out order of a 7 piece wing meal, with fries, toast, and a drink. Boy did it take longer than expected. 25 minutes. At least. Seemed like the kitchen line staff was having a fun time, based on the laughter and the joking around we could see through the kitchen swinging door. Hate to say it, but we saw a line cook eating French fries when the door swung open. A bit of a no no. Now, that was the negative. The chicken and the fries were served hot. They were both very crispy. They were also very tasty. The chicken was sticky, but not overly dripping. It was eaay to eat while driving. They gave plenty of napkins too. The place looked very clean and we will go back. Maybe after they improve their service times. New places can take a bit to find their groove.
