" Honestly, who doesn’t love fried chicken? The chicken wings at Pala are definitely among the best I’ve tasted, with just the right amount of crispness and flavor. I am less of a pizza person, but my friends who accompanied me enjoyed the experimental flavors. It’s located in a food court, so do keep your expectations realistic when it comes to ambiance, but the food makes it worthwhile and convenient during grocery runs. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise to find such amazing Korean-style food at Pala Pizza and Chicken! The sweet chili wings were a hit, perfectly cooked with great crunchiness. I also tried their extra crispy fried chicken, and wow, it was packed with flavor. The only downside I’d say is their interior is pretty basic since it's located inside H Mart. But don’t let that deter you—the food makes up for the lack of ambiance! A must-try for anyone looking to enjoy Asian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about the remarkable flavors at Pala! My favorite is the soy garlic chicken—it has the perfect crunch and bold flavors that make every bite enjoyable. I also ventured into their unique pizzas, which were both cheesy and delightful. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and authentic preparations. It’s a must-visit for anyone in search of hearty Korean food without the hefty price tag. Will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend had recommended this place to me, and it did not disappoint! The fried chicken had an incredible crunch and savory taste that kept me munching. I also loved the radish side—it gave a refreshing texture. The pizza, however, was a bit too experimental for my taste. The combination of flavors is definitely unique, and while I appreciate their creativity, I think they could tone it down for those who are not adventurous. Overall a great spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Pala after hearing a lot of great things about their chicken and unique pizza offerings. I was not disappointed! The bulgogi potato pizza was excellent with rich, savory flavors. My only downside was that I had to wait a bit longer than expected for my order—about 30 minutes. However, the spicy wings were well worth the wait! They had the perfect level of spiciness without being overwhelming. I would highly recommend to anyone trying Korean-style comfort food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to try this place because of their reputation, but my experience was just okay. The chicken was tasty but not mind-blowing, and I found the pizza toppings to be rather bland. It could have benefited from more flavor or variety. However, the stuffed crust was unique! Plus, I appreciated the speedy service. I might give it another try just for the pizza, as I feel there are more options worth exploring. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic experience at Pala Pizza and Chicken! The sweet potato pizza with cheesy crust was unlike anything I've ever had before. It was flavorful and had the perfect amount of crunch. The fried chicken was equally amazing, with a crispy coating and juicy meat. And the best part? The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food they serve. I enjoyed some refreshing radish alongside my meal, which complemented the flavors perfectly. Definitely a hidden gem in H Mart's food court! " (*Curated Review*)
