  Hot and crispy chicken.
  Korean food like beef bulgogi and rice. Everything is made to order. If you're in a rush, then I'd suggest ordering ahead. You can expect to wait at least 20-25 min. Just to get your food.
  The restaurant itself is quite small only having a handful of tables. They have a large flat screen television inside showing hockey playoffs. (When I visited).
  Overall the food is tasty and the staff are okay. Not overly friendly, just seemed to be indifferent.
  All that being said, I'll be back when I have a craving for some hot crispy tasty chicken.

  Review: dine in.
  
  Bottomline: no matter how good the fried chicken might be, the fact that we got sick after dining in there and the nonexistent service will prevent us from going there again.
  
  Atmosphere: even though it was recently renovated, everything inside already appeared worn out. The tables were sticky and the floors were dirty. It was obvious the restaurant had no interest in maintaining its aesthetics or cleanliness. It didn't help that the guy behind the counter was absent half the time.
  
  Food: The guy warned us about a 20 minute wait for the chicken and we should've walked out at that point. But we stayed and the food actually came out surprisingly fast. The chicken was cooked well and skin was crunchy and fresh. The yum yum sauce was good, just a tad too sweet. We also ordered the BBQ chicken combo, which was mediocre. At this point, everything would have been okay but soon after things turned ugly. Let's just say we are still frequenting the washrooms the following day.
  
  Value: None. Paid for food that got us sick. Even if we didn't get sick, 14 dollars for half order of a whole fried chicken is average at best.
  
  Encore? Yes but only if I'm accompanied by my nemesis.

  Honestly best fried chicken in the city. AND THE FRIES!! Very unique but so freaking good. We order from here all the time and it's always delicious never any issues.

  Without a doubt my favourite chicken in Calgary! I use to work close by but am willing to drive across Calgary for this little gem of a restaurant/takeout place. Do yourself a favour and stop in for some amazing fried chicken and picked turnip.

  So, this place was renovated a few weeks ago and we decide to visit it. Sadly, it is no longer a 5/5. They have changed the chicken formula and the batter is not what it used to be. My friend ordered the beef plate with chicken and the beef was cold. On the quest to find a new fried chicken place.

  Absolute hands down, the BEST fried chicken in all of Calgary. The skin is hot, crispy and spicy unless you order the original which is just as good but with less heat. I'm a fried chicken purist and don't like saucy meats. Have tried the Shallot chicken which was also tasty!!!  Tornado Potato is also fun for the kids to eat!!! It's a giant twisted Potato on a stick.... Fun novelty item!
  
  The decor is simple. It's more of a take-out with a few small tables. In the Summer, we get our chicken and head to Bowness Park to relax and enjoy our chicken outdoors. Try this place, you won't be disappointed!!!
