“ The food is SO good! There are only a few bar stools, but there is a lot of patio seating. If you stay to eat, consider the reasonably priced beer tower! It also seemed like a lot people get it to-go or as delivery. ”
“ One of my FAVORITE fried chicken spots in MKE. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and juicy. I absolutely adore their takoyaki - for takeout too. I will say the chicken is best when fresh, so it's absolutely a spot to grab a to go and sit on the incredible patio during the summer (or take it to the lake for a picnic) but if I'm ordering for delivery, the takoyaki and fries always hit. My friends have loved the curry too!! May helped us out tonight and was an absolute angel. She's incredible and I'll definitely be back for food. ”
“ Great foods, large portions, decent price, friendly staff, nice open seating. The seatings is outdoors, is clean and modern, resembling Chicago s Goose Island area or Portland. The music was at the right volume, allowing for conversations. The portions are bigger than we thought, considering the reasonable pricing. We ordered regular and sweet potato fries, chicken tenders, and chicken curry. All were exceptional. The breading was crispy and even, without random hard bits. The meat was moist and tender. The curry was flavorful, without being over bearing, with bits of pickled radishes. They have Thai tea, which was a pleasant surprise. A great plus is that they serve on paper plates and bowls instead of plastics. I'd wished that the spicy mayo were a little less sweet ”
“ Chicken was very juicy and freshly fried. Mixed 3 different flavors. Mango habanero, laab, and sczechaun. Wife did say habenero had some spice kick to it. The laab and sczechaun was very flavorful but heavily seasoned which was a bit overpowering. If it had a nice light seasoning, they would have been stars. The cheesey beef gyoza was very good. We all loved it. The fries were fresh and perfectly cooked. Will definitely come back to try this hidden gem. ”
“ I love me some fried chicken, and this one is delicious!! Even though I needed to order to go and travel 40 minutes before I could try, it was still delicious. So definately travels well. I’m sure that eating over there would be even better, the patio is very pleasant and the day today was gorgeous. The service was great and food came out fast. That’s a place I’ll stop by again. The whole menu seems very tasty, can’t wait to try some more items from their menu. ”
“ Great service, staff was super friendly and inviting. The food, was amazing! Great flavor, quality and quantity. Would Recommend to anyone. Be prepared they are limited with in door seating, they do have plenty of tables outside though. ”
