Gala Chicken

This chicken is so damn good and addicting that i suspected that it had crack on it. As a recovering addict, i know how addicting crack is. All joking aside, this the best damned Korean fried chicken in San Diego. Them other places in Kearney Mesa serve fancy beer and a bunch of other BS to poison your pallet before they feed you their wack@$$ knockoff Korean fried chicken. If u a man bun wearing kinda person, it's all u. But as a real person with real tastebuds, this place beats them all.The other day I was kinda mad cuz I always order the whole chicken with spicy sauce and it came with 3 legs and 3 wings. So I had to google what a 3 winged 3 legged chicken looked like. It turns out they just hooked me up and gave me extra cuz these people just good like that.P.S. their chicken definitely doesn't have crack in it. I know cuz I smoked it and didn't get high.

It's good Korean fried chicken! It's inside the Zion Market and has mainly food court vibes. Tables are not the cleanest, and with all the closed stalls around it's kind of sad to be honest.We got the family style original and the snow styled fried chicken. It's crunchy and most importantly has all the flavors that Korean fried chicken is known for. I have had juicier wings, but overall solid for what it is. I would not recommend getting the katsu here, the chicken is flattened out way too much. It loses a lot of the juiciness that katsu is known for. Kind of like cardboard.

Wow! This place serves up chicken like I've never eaten-in a truly delicious way. It is fried, but the coating is so crusty and light, I could have eaten twice as much as this big portion. Flavorful and tender, I dipped a couple of pieces into the sauce, but found myself completely satiated eating the chicken bare.The macaroni salad and side salad with a thousand Island style dressing added plenty of sweetness, while the rice served balanced the platter of goodness.This cafe is inside the Zion Market.Parking lotTables or takeout.I bought a coffee at Paris Baguette in the same food court, and a Fanta in the market to add to the meal

The corner suite in the Zion Market food court where Gala Chicken is now located used to be the stall for Myung In Dumplings. I never bothered to wander into the grocery section of the market to visit the former spot of Gala Chicken so I think it was a wise decision for them to move out front where they are more visible and accessible to customers. Their presence in the food court is also positive because it adds diversity to the offerings. Having tried a couple of Korean fried chicken (KFC) competitors on Convoy St, I used those experiences as benchmarks to compare the products from here. I selected a regular order of the Soy Sweet wings which came as eight pieces. The crust wasn't as light and crispy as one of the other places, and the size of the wings were smaller than the other place. In my opinion, Gala Chicken ranks behind the local top KFC competition which was why I gave them a three star rating.

Was in the Korean market and saw some restaurants on the other side of entrance and went to check out the different offerings.This place had some good looking pictures of chicken wings so I partook and did a combo order with the original and sweet soy.Both succulent, crispy awesomeness with perfection. More than impressed and plus was super hungry that evening so that probably added to it!For sure will be back.

I wanted to get the drumstick meal with 2 sides of macaroni salad instead of 1 side of Mac and 1 side of cabbage salad. The lady told me they can't do that. Bad business! The chicken looked good but if you aren't willing to work with the customer then why should I give you my money?

Oh. My. Goodness.This chicken is made with love. I've tried a few things on the menu and my favorites are the spicy chicken and the chicken katsu fries. The owners are friendly, the food is delicious and the portions are generous. You've got to try it for yourself.

Awesome bulgogi rice. Great service. It's a food hall but definitely worth checking out.

Delicious spicy fried chicken and worth the price. I hope they relocate along with Zion market when they move to the new location.

Best KFC I've found. I have tried pretty much all the Korean fried chicken options throughout San Diego County and beyond and Gala continues to be my absolute favorite. What ever they put in that spicy sauce recipe is seriously addicting. Have to also mention that the people who work there are always friendly and provide great customer service.
