My family and I (all Korean) love it. Fried chicken is amazing though the rest of the menu is just okay by Korean standards. Wings are good enough to justify the drive into College Hill from East bay and dealing with street parking. For Super Bowl type parties you can order large volumes of wings at the last minute and they’ve always accommodated me no problem.

I take my out of town gluten free friends there. Their fried chicken is gluten free. If they are from an area without a lot of Korean restaurants, they are over the moon to have good (or any) fried chicken. It’s the only Korean fried chicken place I have tried in Rhode Island. It’s good, but not worth making a social trip there. I prefer their sister restaurant Den Den Asiana if I’m in town and want Korean. I travel a lot to areas with a Koreatown for work and my fix then.

They were good pre-pandemic, dipped during the pandemic, came back bussin’ during the endemic phase.

Their supplier seems to fluctuate a bit as they’ve had really big and really small wings with no standard size for a period of time (2020-2021/2).

I had previously liked BBQ Chicken more, which is up the street, but their prices have ballooned so much that it’s not worth it (not to mention the decline in quality too).

Overall, they’re a strong 7.8/10 for me (A-/B+) for KFC, but I honestly think I still prefer Crave up in Boston and KoChix down in D.C. I do have a soft spot for BonChon since they’re my first foray into Korean fried chicken, despite declining QC issues.

That's interesting. I didn't even think workers comp came into play at all with drug testing. To be on the safe side I think I am going to try and "detox" to pass a test, and take vitamin B so my sample isn't diluted. I'm still not sure if I can get hired if I'm positive for THC since the law changed recently.

I'm not stating this as fact, but the way I understand it is, employers workmans comp insurance carriers tend to be the ones who are sticklers for it. If an employer hires you after a positive test, and you get hurt, they can deny a comp claim. That tends to make employers adhere to that rule, because they would be solely responsible to pay any damages. I work as a welder, and my place couldn't care less that you smoke pot, but still have to drug test because of this. For what it's worth, I've gone 6 for 6 using the drinks sold to give you a clean urine test. It's been years, but the ones sold at GNC worked very well. The only issue I had with them was once I was told my sample was too "diluted " and had to do it again. After I drank the stuff the second time, I ate a bowl of mixed veggies with butter and parmesan cheese. This "bulked" up the sample and I passed.

I know that their sister restaurant, Den Den Cafe Asana, is my favorite local restaurant. I love the squid and pork belly barbecue.

My only complaint is that it is difficult to park nearby and they don't have any local delivery options, so it ends up being a special treat when I'm in the area. Which is also why I've never tried the fried chicken place: any time I am close enough to try it I end up getting the thing I know I'll like instead.
