Soft and juicy dark meat chicken fried with consistent golden crispy crust without going too crazy on the seasoning by default, but comes with 5 different dips that you can mix and match, so you can ultimately decide how you want your chicken to gravitate towards certain taste(s). It's great value for the price and the chicken is also aesthetically pleasing. For dine-in, the restaurant is very clean and has a sleek, modern feel, accompanied by friendly staff.
Ordered the boneless Seoul soul medium size $16.5 pre tax. Chicken skin was very crispy but I found the meat quite fatty and flavor not spicy or sweet enough. Ended up adding more hot sauce at home.
We ordered the Chinel Signature Original Fried Chicken Boneless Large. It was nice and crispy on the outside and real juicy in the inside. I really like how they provide 5 sauces. Not a fan of the soy garlic sauce though but the honey Dijon was so good!
Must eat!!!
Outside the chicken is extra crispy and the inside is extremely tasty and tender!
Also, Chris, the owner, is super friendly, courteous, and a hard worker!
Again, a must try! There are many reasons why everyone loves this place! 😀👍
Tried both the original and the truffle.
The original is so good, lots of crispy skin and the chicken was juicy and flavourful. Sauces are average, nothing to write home about. I do like that the sauces come separately which keeps the skin crispy and also gives you many options on what sauce you'd like to eat with the chicken.
The truffle is OK, not a very strong truffle taste so if you love truffle you may want to give this a pass since you may be let down. Comes with delicious garlic and cheese though! (Truffle sauce is on the side!)
I would definitely get the original again!
Just a note: they are busy during peak hours on a weekend so I suggest calling ahead of time, tried calling a few times around 5-6pm but no answer because they were too busy! Decided to just order in store and wait, the staff were very kind and delightful.
