Steve Peternell: I've tried the Seoul Sassy and Spicy Wings and they've both been phenomenal - do yourself a favor and try one of, if not both, of these wing varieties
Monica Silva: Love this place, they have amazing right bowls! I suggest you share a bowl they are largely portioned. Wings are amazing try the Seol flavor my favorite
Lawrence Flack II: All of the wing flavors are great. Buddha bowls I've tried have a tad bit of sweetness, but do not disappoint.
Eli Speigel: The fried chicken is of course amazing. Also may favorite Mac and cheese around.
Stephanie Gomez: The chicken is awesome! And the honeybutter and basil lemonade is a must have!
Mary Alesandrini: 9.5 - The standard honey butter fried chicken sandwich on a biscuit, sweet tea, buffalo chicken sandwich, and the overall atmosphere/outdoor seating was out of this world.

Eater: Start with raw fish and oyster selections before moving onto the fried options that include chicken, fish of the day, hush puppies and baccala fritters. There’s funnel cake to satiate the sweet tooth.
Becca Kang: The chicken is perfectly fried & so juicy. The breeding is crisp to perfection. The fish sandwich was also amazing - the pickles, slaw, & Texas toast bun all complement each other so well.
Kindall H: Try the negroni slushie & spicy fried chicken. Perfect balance of juicy, crispy & spices. Incredible outdoor seating area for warm weather, umbrellas included!
