Delicious fried chicken, but you have to eat there. Once take away, it becomes greasy quickly. Reasonable price for portion. Best thing is sauce of the chicken is put separately in case you find out you dont like the sauce, you can still eat the chicken.

Surprised to find a very good Korean restaurant in a relatively small town. Had some Korean fried chicken and a Bulgogi (sliced bbq-ed beef on rice), chicken is juicy and crispy (size of the nibbles are very decent too), and the bulgogi is tasty with plenty of protein and coleslaw. The inside is spacious, nice vibe, with some big tables, good for a group of people travelling down (or up)! This would definitely be my lunch stop for my future road trips down south!
