Ordering Strategy

Go heavy on the wildly inventive sides and pair a massive fried chicken sandwich with one of their signature sour cocktails.

What to order

Safe first

K-Pop Burger

The towering, trademark Korean-style buttermilk fried chicken sandwich that helped put them on the map.

Hungry

Mexi-Nese Nachos

A wildly indulgent, multi-continental mashup of corn chips, chicken ragù, bacon, jalapeños, and plasticky cheese sauce.

Wildcard

Szechuan Aubergine

Deep-fried, crispy puffs of battered aubergine in a fish-fragrant soy dressing that critics universally call addictive.

What to skip

Skip
Chicken TendersCan be quite underwhelming and lack the punchy flavor found in their bone-in chicken or massive burgers.

Good to know

The permanent brick-and-mortar locations (Covent Garden and Haggerston) closed in May 2025, but the brand continues to operate at food halls like Roof East.
