Cheogajip Chicken

Updating my review from over 15 years ago. This place has been my go to for fried chicken lately! Food is consistent every time I order. Chicken is moist and fried to perfection!

Found this hidden gem in the sea of delicious Korean cuisine in Centreville. This feels like a mom and pop shop that serves up delicious fried chicken and then sum. Unfortunately, they were out of alot of menu items when we visited (which could be a good sign that the food is actually really good and in demand) so this review is for the items that we were able to try which was the classic fried chicken wings and onion rings. Both were freshly prepared and fried perfectly. The original fried chicken breading was seasoned well and was steaming when it was served to us. The onion rings came in a generous portion so definitely plan to share. We were curious about the chicken gizzards but they were out so we will have to make another trip to try them. The service was really great and fast! The staff was very friendly and welcoming which made the experience that much better. It's worth checking out if you are looking for quality fried chicken.

Craving chicken to eat while watching football, we placed an order for delivery. I like spicy food and ordered the spicy chicken and we also got an order of their plain chicken. We had two sides of fries and mozzarella sticks. Oh my gosh when I read that the spicy chicken was really spicy, I definitely thought it might be an understatement. I was wrong lol. What to do when you love spicy and can't eat extremely spicy? Drink a glass of milk LOL. I am not kidding, the spicy was extremely spicy. Very good though. The plain chicken was also great. Very crispy which I loved. Fries were basically like frozen fries from the grocery store. I was impressed with the mozzarella sticks though. Would definitely order again.

I decided to try this place out due to them serving fried chicken. Totally a rip off in my eyes, everything is overpriced down to their drinks.

I don't recommend this place if you love authentic korean chicken. Portion is too small and service is almost non existent. Servers are not friendly at all and their attitude is borderline rude to customers.Never again.

First and foremost, I want to say that this place is not honest. Taste and quality of services, it's mediocre. However, when I order two orders of whole chicken, I expect two Whole chickens. In the midst of post Covid era and highly inflated market, I understand every business is trying hard to keep their business but being dishonest and deceitful is definitely NOT a long term solution. I hope this business realize that skimming meat off of your chicken breasts from one customer to sell boneless to another is not a good business strategy. Customers are very savvy and they know. For this reason. I choose to not come back to this establishment indefinitely.

We got half spicy & half supreme, squid ring, and ddukboki. The sauce is sweet and thick and the spicy chicken was actually pretty spicy.

Cheogajip (chug-a-chick(en) in my etymology style. While Korean fried chicken is found abundantly amongst the Centreville scene, this particular location was recommended by my coworker. Plus a Korean friend of mine at a gathering raved about this spot; who doesn't like fried chicken!?I did an order of the whole chicken; comes in 19-20 pieces which is enough to feed a large group. Chicken is moist and has a nice golden fried texture to it. Plus you can use the sauce on the side for dipping. It'll definitely make you a popular one at parties and gatherings if you do this!It's best to call ahead for your order as it takes about 15-20 minute wait for them to prepare your order. The inside has dining tables and TVs playing Korean soap operas which can be intriguing. Although it's hard to read the subtitles, the acting and dramatics can be captivating in holding your attention while you wait for your food and sip your beer. That just makes the anticipating more exciting as I jumped up with excitement when they called my number and was satisfied by the wonderful smell from the bag!So much better than Bon Chon, get yourself some goodness; it's the only way!

I just bought from this place for the first time. I ordered half and half chicken and original chicken. While some of the pieces had a decent amount of meat, a majority of them were mostly flour and bone. My family did not enjoy the chicken as much due to the lack of meat. If this place would sell chicken with more meat, especially considering the price tag, maybe I would come back. Otherwise, I will not be going here again. Too pricey for too little chicken.

The service of this place was fast and smooth.The manager and employees were very enthusiastic and welcoming towards the customers that came in. It's a great place to hangout, as the ambient feel of the nostalgic past of classic Korean culture brings back memories of what it used to feel like dining with couple of friends eating fried chicken for lunch.Ordered a fried popcorn chicken, Tteokbokki and SeDduck SeDduck, the presentation came out just like they represented in the photos and was very delicious and exquisite with a popping spicy tangy taste! It was a fun place to be and you will definitely make some good conversations and relationships with the employees and your friends while visiting this place. The manager even treated us with a free Coke Zero as a service which was very generous of them!
