I really wanted to like this place but the chicken was somewhat overcooked and rubbery. My fried pickles were tasty, but a little over-seasoned. The food did come out fast and piping hot.

I think their food is unique. Their egg rolls were my favorite part. The corn dog is good too but i like the mozz stick better

I'm very much confused as to why the public thinks this chicken is good. From someone who is familiar with Korean friend chicken and have lived in Korea, this place is far off from the real deal. The batter is way too thick and their soy garlic sauce has too much soy sauce in it. It was too difficult to finish the chicken with the amount of batter there was.Korean fried chicken should be lightly bartered and fried twice. That's what makes the chicken crunchy. Unfortunately the crunch here was more of a deflating batter type of texture. There was so much batter some parts of it were barely fried. The chicken itself did not have any marinade either. I am also confused as to how the drumsticks are extremely huge. They look like they're on steroids. See the picture for what I mean. I really wanted to like this place as I have been looking for a good Korean fried chicken spot around KY/Cincinnati, but this was such a disappointment.

Delivered to high wire in Norwood Factory 52 complex. Good chicken (especially with a beer!)

We were at Esoteric Brewing for an event. My husband is a Dahlia fan. It's a delicious brown ale that is on their regular menu. I had a red blend wine that was tasty. My husband wanted a dinner bite, but as a vegetarian, there's not not much for me. He really enjoyed the chicken strips with a spicy BBQ sauce.

underwhelming experience. the chicken was OK, the breading was soggy and not flavorful. the bulgogi egg rolls tasted decent but wrapping was tough.

After the recent Yelp elite event I felt like I HAD to take some of this chicken home for my partner, and so I grabbed a pair of sticks to go. She had the exact same reaction that I did; "DAMN". This chicken was excellent! Super crunchy and crispy, a perfect fry that makes me want to go back for more. The sauce had the right mix of tangy heat and sugar, making sure you weren't blown out by the spice, and it went so well with the crunch. Garnished with cilantro and green onion for a bit of "freshness", this is the fried chicken I didn't know I'd been missing.At the elite event I also bought an order of the cucumbers, which were... pretty good. They have a good flavor, and the marinade makes them fresh and light (which is a good pairing with the heavily battered and fried chicken), but they were a little more mild than I would like. Bring on the gochujang spice!I'll be going back!

The cauliflower "wings" were absolutely delicious! I'm not usually a cauliflower fan but I'm going back just for those! The group had a variety of options from the menu and everything got a thumbs up. The fried cheese on a stick was a huge hit, too. This is the perfect restaurant pairing for the craft beers at Esoteric.

Probably the most tasty, most crispy and best priced Korean fried chicken in cincinnati. My only gripe is that lately all of my dine in and takeaway orders have been ice cold. Why? How??The awesome staff are working on their English so I can't get this across.

Make really good chicken wings. Sauce is full of flavor and fries are great. I like the Walnut Hills location best
