Decibel Korean Fried Chicken

I think about these daggone chicken nuggets all of the time. Guys, you have to understand how infrequently I've had chicken nuggies of any kind since the 90's... they're just not my jam. But Decibel's totally are. I really hope I don't hype them up too much so that readers might be disappointed when they try them. Hope you like them as much as I do!

As usual, I'm always catching up to the trends, but the corn dog (cheese dog) was a hot item for a reason!! This was my first time trying a Korean corn dog, which is basically a jumbo cheese stick, and it was a perfect combo of sweet sauce, crunch breading and cheese. I will make a return visit for these!! The dumplings are worth trying out if you like spicy food, personally I'm a wimp so these were a little too hot for me but still had good flavor.

The bulgogi egg rolls are amazing the only reason they aren't five stars is the portion doesn't mesh with the price . Make a 4 piece or 3 piece order and it would be 5 stars otherwise these are phenomenal and the best thing on their menu.

Decibel is always a good idea, and I'm so happy this local gem has found a new home at the Gatherall in Factory 52. I was expecting a line when I arrived for a weekday lunch, but was happily surprised to walk up and place my order. This location has easy-to-use kiosks at the front of it, so you can quickly scroll through the menu and place your order at the same time. I decided on the 4 piece tender combo with Gochujang BBQ and Cured Cukes, with a Corn Dog on the side because why not? Everything had a perfect crunch to it, that only comes with being double fried, Korean-style. The Gochujang BBQ sauce is a little sweet, a little spicy, and all delicious. The cucumbers also had a nice dressing on them, but were a little soft for my taste. Next time I think I'd stick with the Mac Salad, which is always a solid choice. The Corn Dog is a fun way to mix up your meal, and I loved how saucy it was. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, but the tenders made great leftovers later on that afternoon.The Gatherall is great because there are already several food options for everyone in your group to choose from - and it just keeps on growing! Definitely consider a visit to Decibel the next time you're in Norwood - you won't regret it.

So excited to see Decibel delivers (very quickly) to Hi-Wire Brewing in Area 52. Cauliflower bites were still warm and crispy and the Asian glaze was just spicy enough. Of course you can't go wrong with fried pickles so we ordered those as well. Great snack food with a glass of beer and we always love that they offer GOOD vegetarian choices!

Decibel Korean Fried Chicken is the place to go for the crispiest chicken in town! I was first introduced to them a year or two ago at their location inside Esoteric Brewing, but when their new location opened inside Factory 52 in Norwood, I had to go back! I've had many things on their menu, but my favorite by far is their chicken tenders with gochujang bbq and their waffle fries.Other items I'd recommend: Korean corn dogs - basically deep fried mozzarella sticks with lots of sauce on top Bulgogi egg rolls Wings Cured cukesWhile I don't typically like macaroni salad, their Picnic Salad is a pretty good version of the macaroni salad. The dressing reminds me of spicy mayo!

One of my favorite spots at factory 52. I keep coming back. Just make sure you come hungry.

I can only speak for the Korean corn dog (mozzarella version) and it was a huge let down. Very deflated and soggy. Too much sauce and toppings. It was basically swimming in sauce. Wasn't very crunchy either. Very unfortunate.

Some of my chicken tenders were undercooked. Flavors were good, but no excuse serving raw chicken.

I have never thrown food away before once I purchased it. Today our chicken sandwich was so dry and unflavorful that we did just that. The fries were delicious and the spices were great but the chicken was hands down the worst chicken I have ever tasted. I hope this was just situational and not a typical experience.
