" My experience at Top Chicken was quite pleasant. The food was definitely tasty, and the soy garlic chicken stood out. However, I felt the service could have been quicker as we waited a bit longer than expected for our check. Overall, I'm thrilled about the food quality and will recommend it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I find myself returning to Top Chicken because their chicken is that good. Each time I visit, I notice the quality remains high. I opted for wings this time, which were juicy and perfectly cooked. Minor nuisance—had to wait for my order longer than I'd hoped, but it was worth it once I tasted the food. Their flavors genuinely reflect authentic Korean cuisine. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" An amazing lunchtime experience at Top Chicken! The chicken was so crispy and the sweet corn cheese was the perfect side dish. The service was helpful, and the environment was relaxed. I ordered the soy garlic chicken and absolutely loved the flavor. My only downside was the wait time, as it was a bit longer than anticipated. But the food was certainly worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Top Chicken last week and it was an overall great experience! The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff were very polite. I ordered a half and half chicken platter, which was crispy and flavorful. The portion was reasonable for the price. My only grievance was a slight delay on the food arrival, but once it arrived, I was quite satisfied. Worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic find! Top Chicken has truly mastered the art of Korean fried chicken. I ordered the special half & half and every piece was perfectly cooked. The cheesling flavor was my favorite! The restaurant had a warm and friendly atmosphere, and the service was prompt and courteous. I would recommend to anyone who loves Korean cuisine or is simply looking for a great meal.

" After my visit to Top Chicken, I'll definitely return! The food was exceptionally tasty, especially the cheesling chicken which had the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. The side dishes complemented the chicken nicely. Our server was attentive and made great suggestions for our order. Overall, wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a recent visit to Top Chicken and overall it went pretty well. The chicken was hot and crispy, with bold flavors that really stood out. However, I felt that the portion sizes were a little smaller than I would have liked for the price. The service was friendly but could have been slightly faster. I'd still recommend checking it out for the great flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
