I was very skeptical of this place. It has good reviews but I never see cars in the parking lot every time I pass by but it still gave it a try. When I walked in, it had a very distinct smell of old grease and stale water. I ordered the beef bibimbop, snow cheese fried chicken and rose tteokbokki. The Bibimbop was a 6/10 very filling but even though it looked seasoned it didn’t taste very seasoned but that could be because I tend to over season most of my food so that may be on me lol. The snow cheese chicken was a 4/10 the chicken itself didn’t have much flavor but it was more greasy than juicy. I also kind of the old grease it was fried in. It was definitely relying on the snow cheese which was so delicious but it couldn’t get completely cover the old grease taste. The rose tteokbokki… 50/10 definitely will eat it again if I go back. The texture of the rice cakes was perfect and rose sauce was out of this world. The only thing that I wish it could be was for it to be spicy I didn’t notice a spicy option but either way if I make it back I will 100% be ordering it again.

We’ve been coming to Seoul Chicken since they first opened, and have always greatly enjoyed the food and service. It had been a little while since we last dined in, and I noticed some updates to the menu, so we were excited to try new things! While I was sad the Soon Tofu soup was unavailable, the Veggie Bibimbap, Chicken Sandwich, and Loaded Fries were absolutely incredible. The Bibimbap was sizzling hot and made for some deliciously crispy rice. The Chicken Sandwich was perfectly crispy with super fresh veggies and the bun was steamed! I love that they have a filtered water dispenser available for customers to use themselves. Highly, highly recommend this place!

This review is solely for the fried chicken.
You order at the counter, they’ll bring food to the table, and you clean them up yourselves.
Original – None of us liked this. Chicken wasn’t well seasoned. Although it wasn’t sauced, the plain korean fried chickens we’ve had usually had bold seasoning. This one just fell flat.
Spicy (Yangnyeom) – Better than the original. Flavorful but the breading/batter fell apart. Not as crispy as I hoped.
Sweet Soy – My favorite. Good blend of sweetness and savoriness. Breading remained intact and crispy.
Kimchi and radishes are not free, you have to buy them as a side.
For the fried chickens alone, we won’t be returning as there are better options.

The food is Outstanding! This is one of those don’t judge a book by its cover deal, doesn’t look like much from the outside but inside be prepared for some fabulous Korean food. We had vegetable pancake, hot and spicy Korean wings, and of course bulgogi. Authentic flavors my mouth and stomach are both happy.
Pro tip: try the bulgogi on top of the pancake and ask for gochujang (Korean hot sauce) to kick it up a little.

Fried chicken: absolutely super crunchy, light flour, big wings, mild original flavour. Even after letting it on the table few hours after lunch, it is still crunchy. Best Korean chicken in Tacoma.
Bulgogi: good portion for lunch, soft beef, interesting spicy sauce. The japchae noodle is too sticky for take out food so I would recommend for dine in only.

일단 한국사람을 위한 치킨맛은 아니고,
세이프웨이 같은곳 쿵파오 치킨이 훨씬 더 맛있습니다.
This was not yangnyeom chicken at all.
The sauce tasted like a random mix of ketchup, sriracha, mayo, gochujang, vinegar, and syrup. Maybe it’s their own “twist,” but this is absolutely not what yangnyeom chicken is supposed to taste like. Anyone who’s had real Korean fried chicken would know that immediately.
The batter was way too thick, and the flavor balance was completely off. I finished it only because I paid for it, not because it was enjoyable.
If you’re wondering whether I’d come back :
absolutely not. No chance.
This isn’t about personal preference.
Yangnyeom chicken does not taste like this.
HERE is answer back to Store Owner or Seoul Chicken Team
If this was a Honey Gochujang dish, the issue is that there was no honey flavor at all — only an overpowering vinegar acidity. When a menu name sets an expectation, a complete disconnect between the name and the actual taste is a valid criticism.
Also, while you emphasize that this isn’t “traditional yangnyeom,” that doesn’t address the core issues raised: the excessively thick batter and the lack of balance in the overall flavor. Those are execution problems, not matters of personal taste.
If this is a house recipe meant to represent your style, then the responsibility to clearly match flavor, description, and quality is even greater.
“Different” doesn’t automatically mean “successful,” nor does it exempt the dish from criticism.

My friend and I came here to try Korean food, and everything was delicious with very generous portions! I really loved the “honey cheese” dish (highly recommend you try it), and the Korean bibimbap was also very tasty and well-seasoned. The restaurant is especially clean, and the owner is very friendly (they’re Korean and speak English very well).

One of the best Korean fried chicken places in the Seattle Tacoma area. A hidden gem. We’re picky about Korean food, and this place surpassed our high expectations. The bibimbap tasted homemade.

I ordered the spicy chicken wings and veggie pancake. Both were absolutely delicious and totally hit the spot. The staff were very kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place – it’s a wonderful addition to University Place and I will certainly be back for more.

The restaurant is spacious and clean. Portions are so big, the pork katsu can be for two. Only 2 choices of wings: traditional (dry, no sauce) and sweet & spicy (spicy level is above mild), both taste great. We will be back to try the bibimbap!
