Knockout Chicken - Chula

Knockout Chicken knocked it OUT of the park! Homerun! We got the Mon-Tues Special of 10 spicy fried chicken leg and thighs, the side of coleslaw, sweet potato and regular fries, and a half order of roasted chicken (7 pieces). Everything was delicious. Loved the light but very crisp breading on the fried chicken, and then roasted chicken both had very good flavor. Coleslaw was not too sweet just right. Fries were all crisp and stayed crisp driving home too. Everything was very fresh. The place has bts performance videos which i loved and a very professional and helpful guy helping at the register, he was probs the owner bc he was very proud of their product and i see why. They delivered a quality dinner for my family and i will definitely be going back

Summary: Duckbboki is better than the chicken, ask for sauce on the side to avoid $3 extra charge, ordering whole is cheaper than two halvesWe came around 12pm on a Saturday. It wasn't busy at all so we ate at the restaurant. We ordered the Duckbboki, half of sweet & spicy, and half of spicy soy chicken. We wanted to do the half & half order option but that only gives one sauce option with original. If you want to try two sauce type chicken you have to order them individually in half sizes. Whole size half & half is 28.99 while half sizes of any flavor is $14.99. And if you ask for the sauce on the chicken, they charge you a "toss fee" of $3. We were not notified of this fee so we found out after leaving by looking at the receipt (we paid at the counter before leaving). So we paid $48.46 in total before tax for the three orders including 2.49 for one fountain drink. The chicken was juicy and crunchy but their sauce was more on the watery side than the thicker syrup style. So getting it tossed didn't really make a difference as we were keep dipping it in the sauce in the plate. Some pieces were dry but it was probably because they were flat small pieces. Neither of their sauces were spicy at all so if you can't eat spicy food, these two options would still be good for you. The portions wasn't too big as three of us ladies were able to clean all three plates.

This was our first time at Knockout Chicken in Terra Nova Plaza in east Chula Vista. My husband and I, walked by the restaurant on a rainy day and could smell the fried chicken from outside and decided to try Korean Fried Chicken in rice flour batter for the first time. After a cold rainy day in San Diego, all I wanted to order was a hot soup and spicy fried chicken. We ordered the ramen noodle and Original Fried Chicken with cole slaw and all three were delicious!! The chicken was very crispy and had a lot of flavor. We ordered the spicy. We also ordered the sweet and spicy fried chicken to go. The restaurant was clean and the owner was very nice. We'll definitely be back to this restaurant!!

Wow! Ordered the half and half x 2... comes with half order crispy original and a flavor choice! We tried the honey garlic and the other flavor is spicy soy! Option to make level spicy strong if you're into that! One order can honestly feed 2 to 3 ppl ... added Steamed rice on the side. Even the kids meal boneless strips with fries is good enough for 2 kids! Portions are big enough to share! The kimchi is spicy and delicious and the snow cheese fries is a must try! I think snow cheese fries are now my favorite! The sauces for chicken are on the side.. which makes sense to keep the chicken fr getting soggy! Waited 10 to 15 mins ... the dine in is clean. For beverages... option for soju and beer or fountain drinks! Peter is the owner and he is super friendly with a sense of humor! He even offered and insisted to bring the food out to my car! Wow such service! The family is happy and full!

Hands down best korean chicken I have tried in a while! Disclaimer: I have only tried a handful of places so I would say I've tried many different kinds.Service is spot on. All gender restroom. Kpop is played the whole time so if you aren't into the more upbeat and energy full music then I'd get take out. Or brave it or bring ear plugs/ear buds xDFood:The sauce can be overpowering for some especially for those who do not eat spicy. What I did? Get original and then get the sauce on the side. This way I don't get tired of the taste and I can try the different sauces. Also, the chicken tastes good by itself. So when I'm not feeling the sauce I can just keep chowing on the original. I'm not a big spicy person and the mild was just right. A slight kick. Got the full chicken legs and thigh to share. It was very Juicy. I loved it. Hit the spot. Tastes better fresh. Price was reasonable compared to other places and great for sharing.Highly recommend!

As stated in my last review, hubby and I came back for Knockout Chicken's Lunch Specials. We finished our food, except for the rice.Would have been better if there were options of:1. Rice or fries2. Coleslaw or shredded cabbage3. Pickled radish w a hint of sweetness or just vingar-based pickled radish Otherwise, the price, quality, and quality did not disappoint,We normally go to Convoy to eat quality fried chicken and get our boba.Owner might consider adding boba in the menu and include as a drink in a meal?

The taste is there. When I ordered, they told me that they would charge me $3 extra dollars to toss the chicken in the sauce. I ordered spicy soy chicken, and that's what I paid 14 99, my 5 pieces will be 17.99. I don't if it's just me, but when I look online to find a place and it's not written down on the menu, then that's a bait and switch. I left the sauce on the side because I was a bit upset and the taste was good but not great.* I mean the had a fried chicken 6 pieces for 12.99 and the spicy garlic chicken for 14.99

We were in the area and had a craving for Korean Fried Chicken.. We had the whole chicken half original and half honey garlic with a side of the Cheese Snow. The meal came with side dishes; coleslaw and pickled radish. The chicken was crispy and moist. However, I was expecting for the sauce to be tossed in with the chicken, but it was just chicken sitting in the sauce. But we did use it as a dipping sauce. The honey garlic sauce was good, the garlic flavor was not overwhelming. We were excited to try their cheese sauce so we ordered it on the side, pictured. So sad because it was essentially a bowl of Parmesan cheese and it reminded me of the green bottle of Kraft Parmesan cheese. I was disappointed because the cheese sauce/flavor is my favorite and have had it at other Korean Fried Chicken places. Ultimately, we became bored of the chicken. Not if it was because the chicken not being tossed in the sauce, which made the chicken not as flavorful as we're used to at other places... Other then getting bored, the chicken was cooked nice and crispy. It was a bit salty, just a bit. It wasn't oily either. Server was pleasant. Overall, not a bad lunch.

Came here for dinner last week and had their chicken. I tried their garlic soy chicken and the spicy soy. I asked if I can get all flats but they said it wasn't possible. I really don't like the small drumsticks. The chicken came out and they were big sizes but most of the chicken was tough especially the drums. I literally hit most of the skins off and ate it with the rice. Couldn't eat the meat because it was tough and felt like a lot of cartilage. Was so disappointed because I was craving Korean chicken like back home and this did not deliver. Not to mention the prices are high. I spent almost 50 bucks just for myself for dinner. Just for two orders of chicken and rice. Probably won't come back for their chicken. Staff was pretty friendly though.

Amazing food and a great option based on my gluten allergy. Not sure it would be good for anyone with celiac if eating fried options. The coleslaw and radishes were light and refreshing.
