    Toronto's been repping the fried chicken for a minute....



    only drawback is waiting for your order, it takes quite a while since it's double fried. Inhaling the oil fumes for 30 mins is not exactly the best of looks.

    yes, its at least a 25 minute wait. AT LEAST. one of the chains out here delivers though and they also have a soft serve machine in house if u get disgruntled like me while you wait for your 30 minute korean fried chicken.

    LOL! Oh snap. You are TOO funny Shig. True dat. The takuan in kim bap does always taste kinda funny! We might be the only two people on here to talk about Korean takuan. You mos def took it there and got specific with that one.

    Kawai so. My favorite local Japanese spot has the DOPE hiyashi chuka and all I have to do is call my hommie's mom ahead of time and she will make it for me anytime! Make sure to eat your hiyashi chuka with lots of karashi and a few good cold Japanese beers.

    theyre both on 6th. one is caled kyo-chon(they deliver within ktown i think) and the other is bonchon. its $10 for like 6 wings and some nutrasweet koko and it takes 1/2 hour to make. but its almost worth the $10 and the wait.

    oh bro! theres also a kyochon on torrance and crenshaw. its in that new plaza grocery store which i think is like whole foods for us chinamans. it looks all whole foods-ey but with yaohan type faire in it.

    I dont drive so Cali is a no-no. But i need to investigate Little Korea in ManHatt for real. That's one of the few hoods ive never ate in.

    The joints around 32nd Street in Manhattan are pretty good, but if you want the REAL Korean hood experience plaese to go to Flushing, Queens.
