I bought just the small Korean fried crispy boneless chicken takeout for 17.99+tax and it tasted good. Gave some dip with it which I didn't understand what it is and spit out. Honestly, I didn't like it and not my type. They should have kept the option to take it or not.As you can see in the image, it is just crispy chicken with a sweet and sour seasoning. Overall, the 6 pic boneless chicken was yummy but not a 5 star spot.

Loved the food here, I never knew the Chicken here was so crispy yet the meat was tender as can be, The spicy squid was also quite surprisingly good, I really had to come around to liking Korean food and this place just had the right touch, just give it a try :)

I had a lovely time! The couple that owns the eatery were lovely and the food was perfect! While I can't say they were always paying mind to those eating for the sake of getting beverage refills and one would have to go up and ask, it was never an issue and still wouldn't impact my review of saying it was decorated well, had a friendly atmosphere, was superbly cooked food, and most certainly would promote others to stop in. :)

The price is a little bit above average and the food ia average . Problem is that the serving portion is extremely small! I finished a bibimbap and I'm not even 50% full. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant.

One of the best chicken place I’ve ever been to!!! It’s SUPER crispy but tender/juicy inside!! The portions are amazing as well for the price. The owners are super friendly and nice:))) I would definitely comeback here in the future

I would rank this as a middle of the range Korean restaurant. It's not going to blow your socks off. The service was okay and could have been better for a sit down restaurant, like offering to refill water when glasses are empty. The fried chicken was good, and I'd recommend that be tried. Overall, I found it to be pricy for 3 dishes we ordered, which came out to $60+ (not including tip).

I have returned to eat here several times and their fried chicken will never cease to amaze me. It is pretty pricey, but their portions are good, great flavour, juicy, crispy skin, and not salty! It also comes with a small side of pickled radish which is always nice as well. C1 (fried crispy chicken) and C3 (half & half chicken) are my go-tos. I tried the spicy rice cake with noodles before but it was mediocre, I wonder if their dishes aside from their fried chicken is also about the same.The restaurant is ran by an elderly Korean couple and I find the art of both of them on the menus and such really sweet.

This is like traveling back to Seoul, South Korea. I had the bulgogi mushroom stew and it’s very authentic tasting. I appreciated the cost per portion and find this restaurant to be super consistent. I usually prefer takeout but the space is cute and pretty much what you would expect. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for some Korean comfort food.

The fried chicken is very good; crispy and extremely tender. Get the seasoned fried chicken, it's the best one in my opinion.

On a neverending quest to find good Southeast Asian food in Waterloo, I headed down to Sowon Korea Dining.When my friend and I went there, we ordered a spicy bulgogi with rice (which was their daily lunch special) along with a seasoned Korean crispy-fried boneless chicken. Due to the spicy bulgogi having just the right amount of spice to not make it overwhelming, the meal was utterly delicious - paired with a tangy pickled radish, the bulgogi was a mixture of several delectable flavors! It was made only better with the crispy fried boneless chicken - eaten hot, the boneless chicken was crispy, yet tender, making for a filling dish despite ordering a smaller portion. Comfortably recommended!To hear about this review, follow us @eatinontario on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
