" This place is absolutely worth the hype! I tried the garlic soy tenders and they were the best I have ever tasted—super crunchy and juicy at the same time. The portion was sufficient, and I felt satisfied without overdoing it. Even the fries were incredible! The only issue was that it was quite busy, leading to slightly longer wait times but nothing too frustrating. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves chicken! " (*Curated Review*)

The atmosphere was casual and simple. While the service was friendly, it could have been a bit quicker. Overall, a place I would recommend to others and definitely plan to visit again.

" Calvin's spoils you with all the options they offer. I tried the spicy garlic chicken, and it was undeniably delicious. The chicken had a great crunch, though I like mine even spicier. The service was pleasant, but I noticed that they mixed up some orders while I was waiting. Despite this, the friendly atmosphere and flavors made it worth it. I will come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Calvin's was such a delight! I had the combo meal featuring their popular wings and tenders, and each bite was tantalizing and satisfying. The sauces were abundant but not overbearing, which preserved the crispiness of the chicken. I sat outside, which had a nice atmosphere, despite being a bit cramped. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great meal at Calvin's—definitely a high note in my culinary journey. The chicken was not only crispy but perfectly seasoned, with each bite bursting with flavor. The devil's garlic sauce is a must-try! I found the service to be quite attentive, but the wait for food was a bit longer due to a rush. Overall, great food! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for delicious Korean chicken. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at Calvin's! The chicken was juicy and full of flavor. I had the garlic soy tenders and they were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside—exactly how I like my fried chicken. The outdoor seating was comfortable, but it got a little crowded. Overall, I'd recommend this spot to anyone who loves well-prepared chicken. " (*Curated Review*)
