A no frills Korean wing place. Great service, friendly staff. The two popular flavors are Soy Garlic(very garlicky) and Spicy. The medium heat is quite hot. Seating is limited, parking in rear.

Tremendous working class chicken and sides, at a restaurant that really knows how to do it right. I got the small order of chicken medium spicy which was perfect and a glazed sauce with crunchy skin reminded me vaguely of pineapple teriyaki, but better, and the chicken was utterly tender and delicious, and the onion rings I ordered on the side were perfect example of good old school onion rings with a thick batter and fresh hot onions inside.

Chicken was not very good. The batter is thick and clumpy. The sauces were very similar, I couldn’t taste the difference between the 2. The chicken was very chewy and had lots of tendons. I took two bites of my chicken before I knew something was off. I personally will never eat here again.

After ordering from here through DoorDash twice, we decided to go dine-in for a better experience (crispier, hotter food). The place is quite small and have a limit to # of people in your party. We went on a weekday and we were seated immediately upon arriving. We got a medium with half spicy hot, half Smokey onion and an order of fries.

It’s pretty good Korean fried chicken. Skin is amazingly crispy. Though their drumsticks were too big. The meat inside isn’t very flavorful as a result.

Wings were cooked perfectly. The spicy regular had good kick but was not painful & had a nice flavor. The soy ginger was very tasty as well. Could have used some additional sauces for dipping as they only offer one “house” sauce that is kind of like a… watered down ginger ranch? Wings are served with a cabbage “salad” (more like cole slaw) and white rice. Onion rings were good. Overall it was a good experience that satiated my wing craving quite well.

Apparently there are two Korean style fried chicken establishments on the same block on Castro Valley Boulevard, Vons and The Chicken on Fire (CoF…sorry too lazy to keep typing the full name).

First time eating here. We had the Smokey onion and Spicy Hot chicken wings, fries, cabbage salad. We didn’t eat the rice we were full by then.

THE BEST KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN PERIOD!!! The staff is super friendly and very attentive. I love the pot stickers as they are fried and crispy not soft and soggy like most places. They have sweet potato and regular french fries that are very very good really crispy. The main flavor most will get is soy Garlic, I personally like the Hot, Hot. When you order the hot/spicy they will ask you of you want it medium or hot, medium to me is more of a tomato flavor but the hot is a GOOD hot. Other flavors are smokey onion, curry, BBQ and off the menu Sweet & Spicy. If you think Bonchon is good raise your right hand and slap yourself, COF is the KING of fried chicken.
