I've always wondered what my tombstone will read when I die, but now I know. Four simple words, yet so much meaning - "Honey Garlic Chicken Lover." One bite of that chicken and I felt my body ascend to the heavens. Crispy. Juicy. Meaty. What more could a girl want? Need that chicken at every major event in my life - birthdays, wedding, arbor day, funeral, etc.

Plenty of bench seating. The spicy is hot and I've heard things about the very spicy (one day I hope to try it). What stands out the most is the crispyness - very crispy. No free water

We ordered take out and our order was made very quickly. The chicken is delicious and crispy! (Though not the crispiest Korean fried chicken we've had). We ordered the honey garlic and soy garlic and I preferred the honey garlic slightly more. We preferred the wings over the boneless. I wasn't expecting to love the sweet potato fries but I did!

Wow! This place is extremely unassuming, however, when you take the first bite of the wing, everything comes to light. Not only in your taste buds but your entire life. These wings are one of the best wings I've eaten in a long time, they are crispy and flavorful. Every time we're in Philly I'm stopping here! Must try

Really good Korean fried chicken and great selection of beers. I've had their mildest to hottest wing flavors, all of them excellent and nothing I couldn't handle. Deliciously crispy while the chicken is moist and juicy inside. None of that overcooked meat or shattered bones. I recommend the fries/potato wedges as a side as it's just as crispy as the chicken. These are not you typical Wendy's floppy fries, they must be double battered or something.

The promise of crispy fried chicken, described by fellow yelpers, lured me to this spot sitting at the corner of Girard and Marshall streets, in what is now known as Northern Liberties. Hunger and fatigue made me forget to snap views of business. But, The interior was well-lit and very clean. Glass refrigerators displayed their wide selection of beer to the left and the cash register sat to the right with the open kitchen behind. There is inside seating for those inclined to get to their meals hot off the presses. Parking on street. We got 10 soy garlic and 1/2,1/2 (5 each) hot and honey soy. The bill was $31 and change and credit card info was required for phone orders. Wings were ready in the timeframe promised. We preferred the soy garlic and hot, the honey soy was just okay. We do like spicy food, but after trying the hot, we agreed that we probably would not have been able to handle the extra hot version they also offer. The chicken was cooked pretty perfectly-crispy outside and moist inside. The glazes were very flavorful and well balanced, but we did feel like after the exterior was gone, the interior lacked any seasoning. Still, they satisfied our crispy wing cravings.

For all you Bonchon lovers, Chi Mc King will probably further win your heart. Chi Mc King () is a Korean Acronym for Chi "" (Chicken) Mc "" (Beer) King "" (King). My boyfriend and I got the Soy Garlic and the Spicy wings. PHENOMENAL. The proportion of sauce and breading is perfect. In my opinion, BonChon is very salty after having a few wings, but you don't get that feeling with ChiMcKing. Go tell all your friends about Chi Mc King, especially your Korean friends, because when you tell them about this place, they will all be thanking you! Trust me, I'm Korean and this is the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) that I've had in all of Philly (Andy's Chicken, Soho Chicken, Pelicans Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Crunckin, even the more restaurant style places like SouthGate, Seorabol). Hands down best KFC ever! And it comes in cute packaging!

Kept hearing about this place from friends and my friends were absolutely right with their positive remarks! Ordered the 10 honey garlic wings and 10 hot king wings. They were all fried very well, still juicy without being over fried! Lots of flavor too! The hot king has a pleasurable amount of spiciness so would recommend this if you want a little kick. I can't imagine how insanely spicy the ex hot king flavor is. You get a tiny side of white radish with your order. Its acidity yet sweetness complements the chicken well. Definitely would recommend this place and we'll probably go here over Bonchon every time!

They're apparently still in their soft opening until spring, so you either have to order and pay on site or give your credit card information over the phone because you can't order online yet. They don't have a site yet and if you try to Google their menu it's not the same as other franchises, so I'd just go based off the pics you see on here. For 3 people we ordered the following for takeout, which was enough for us: * large half & half (20 wings, honey garlic & hot king) - I loveeee crispy fried chicken rather than wings that have a super wet and messy sauce. The sauce was crystallized on the outside and had the exact crunch I like. I'm definitely a honey garlic gal, and I'm glad I didn't get the extra hot king because I can't handle it if it's too spicy. I think they gave us two radish orders free with this and you just +$1 if you mix flavors * two dumpling orders (7 wings each with sauce) - also crispy just how I like them! I think they mentioned a couple different options but I got the mixed meat one...I think it was chicken, pork, and beef? The food was ready within 10-15 minutes of placing the order over the phone and they came in takeout containers packed pretty tight so they didn't budge when driving home. I'm excited for them to expand the menu and I want to try more items in the future (maybe even eventually dine in)!
