Good Chicken

This little establishment is next to Asahi Grill and across Patagonia on Ward. You won't miss it. Once I got there the building shares with a Spa Day Care. The Spa and Good Chicken shares the same entrance. It will be located on the right and you can order from the window. We ordered the following: whole chicken plate, tteokboki, garlic chicken plate, chicken plate special, and steamed pork mandoo.The whole chicken plate comes with fries and a drink. The steak fries were generously salted and very fresh. The chicken was OMG crispy on the outside, not to mention not too much batter, with juicy inside. The breast was very juicy! Didn't expect that!The chicken plate special came with this brown sauce, it tasted okay at first. It grew on me after I kept on using it as a dip sauce. I think it was simmered down chicken drips with garlic, onions and butter. It has this weird taste , which I can't quite figure out. I don't think I tasted that spice before. It's different. But you have to mix it well to get the full taste. I liked eating it with my chicken.The garlic chicken was not spicy at all, a little sweet and not too much spicy. But it was good! The tteokboki, oh man was spicy, I should have advised not too spicy and more sweetness. I couldn't handle it. It had fish cake and onions in it. I think if I had it sweeter , it would've made my top 2. The steamed pork mandoo, was eh ok. No taste unless you add shoyu. It's just pork filling with rice noodles. Overall Experience: Satisfied, chicken is juicy!Parking: tight not too much space up front, park on road Mood: fullWill I go again? Definitely, if in the area and feel for good KFC!

Once in a while on the way home, we'll pass by this place that looks like they sell Korean fried chicken. Though with a name like "Good Chicken," we were a bit skeptical for quite a while - is it REALLY good or are you just saying that? Nonetheless, we decided to bite the bullet one weekend afternoon and stopped by to order.Our first time actually resulted in a relatively long wait. Maybe 30-40 minutes for a few orders so rest assured, no wing was left uneaten that afternoon. The wings themselves were still crisp by the time we got back to the apartment, the flavors were outstanding, and it was juicy on the inside. Good chicken might also be one of the few places that offers really good rose tteokbokki and other sides as well so don't sleep on those if you have a good appetite.The second time we got Good Chicken, we called it in prior to avoid the wait. Wings and rose tteokbokki were ready by the time we got there and they even generously threw in some extra goodies for us at no cost.Overall, I think Good Chicken makes some of the best Korean fried chicken on the island to be completely honest. Better than the franchises you see popping up. We'd probably pick this place over B.B.Q. which is one of my favorite chains. Though admittedly, we don't come as often as we could.We noticed that they opened another location in Waikiki and unfortunately, we weren't really craving Korean fried chicken that day. Though I really do hope they do well because this place deserves it. Highly recommend calling in and making an order the next time you're craving for some Korean fried chicken!

I love good chicken since they opened. It's not just in their name but the food was actually amazing. They opened another location in Waikiki as well and the owner stays in that location. I recently bought take out from the Ward location, but I didn't try it so I'm not sure how it tasted. My fiancé was the one that had it for dinner and he said that it wasn't as good as it was before. I don't know if it's because the owner isn't at this location or if the original cook is at the Waikiki location. I still give it a 5 star since I haven't had it. I did however go to the one in Waikiki and the food was still tasty as when I first tried it. Overall I still think this places has the best Korean fried chicken!

My favorite spot for crunchy and oh so awesome wings. My favorite is the garlic chili wings or boneless. They have a great crunch and the chicken is moist. The flavor is sweet shoyu garlic with a kick of heat, I love eating the extra peppers topped on. The Mandoo has a tasty filing, they don't get as much crispy as I like but still delicious. They also don't serve your normal mandoo sauce, they serve it with a pickled daikon sauce. If you want something close to the traditional sauce, ask for extra garlic chili sauce. My wife loves their Teokk Bokki, the broth is a nice sweet heat that builds as you keep eating it. They are on a back road, so if you don't seek them out, you'll never by chance walk by to enjoy their delicious food. They are also take out only. The main server is always so polite. We will definitely keep coming back for more.

Had the.honey shoyu chicken plate. This ola d included 2 scoops rice, Mac salad and 7 large pieces of Wing drums and flats. The honey shout flavor was mild and seemed like they dipped the cooked wings into the sauce after frying. Pleasant experience. There are about 4 parking stalls in the front of the shop.

If fried chicken or korean fried chicken is your thing, you can't miss out on Good Chicken! It's takeout only and the ordering window is tucked inside of the spa next door, with benches across the window for waiting for your food. It seemed like everything was made to order, so be prepared to wait at least 15 min for your freshly fried chicken. We just wanted a snack so split a "good chicken plate" which was their plain chicken with dipping gravy, 2 rice scoops, and a tossed green salad dressed with a creamy balsamic dressing for $10 (a really good deal nowadays!). The chicken was SO crispy on the outside (it crackled as we bit into it), and super juicy and flavorful on the inside. Will definitely return to try some of their sauced options! This place seems like a real gem.

Solid chicken. Like others say it's in a random location but it's good and no nonsense. Got the spicy wings that were crispy and tasty

This chicken is beyond good! I bring my dog in to the vet across the street from here and finally decided to walk over and place an order. Some of the best wings I've had in years and well worth any wait or distance to get it!

Bandit was just driving passing by to this Korean fried chicken house, so off trying 'em coz chicken is what for dinner.Take note that this eatery is "take out only". And if you don't have the patience to wait, call ahead!Food:Chicken Wing Original Fried, 20pcs. ($30.95)- crispy from the outside and juicy from the inside. Though it wasn't seasoned well I'm glad that I decided to pay for an extra sauces (honey shoyu & BBQ Chicken) so that helped a lot to have some savory flavor.Kimari (seaweed roll), 4pcs. ($5.95)- surprisingly ono! T'was my first time having this & I did enjoy it. The light coated batter makes everything crispy good. The filling was a lil bit surprising as well. Thought there's gonna be some meat inside but it's all glass noodle. It kinda taste a bit sweet & I am not sure how kimari really tastes like but overall I love it. I can eat 'em all lunch long! Overall t'was good!French Fries ($3.50)- love this! It was seasoned with salt perfectly. Has a good crunch and did cook fresh. Fries will always be good as side dish so make sure you grab this!While waiting for our order I noticed that the guy whose taking the order always telling their customers 17mins. to wait. Unfortunately the waiting time is always more than that. As per our order we waited almost an hour! Good thing I'm not that really hungry at that point. And as a consolation, the guy gave us free two drinks & a pickled radish in a very small container. T'was nice of him! Overall service is good but the main dish we ordered doesn't really have a "big wow" feature. Typical kfc imo.Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yeeps!

Kimari: glass noodles wrapped in nori, battered and deep fried. Very good when fresh. Eat this quickly because it is not as good after 2 hours. Order this and snack on your way home. Fried pork mandoo: very delicious and one of the best I have had, perhaps because it is homemade. Fat and juicy. Wish they had a sauce to go with this. Still delicious eaten naked. Chili garlic plate was delicious. The garlic and jalapeno sauce drizzled over the chicken wings was the highlight of this plate. I wish they sold it in a bottle. Prize is descent for a plate, but for all you chicken wingers out there, there was only 5 wings, so you will need to order sides. Parking is limited on property. Take out only. I would return to try the other plates, and to get more mandoo.
