" The visit to Chicken 649 was a treat! We enjoyed the sweet honey chicken and their garlic soy chicken. Very rich in flavor and perfectly cooked—super tender too! The only criticism I have is the limited seating, so go at a less busy hour if you can. Regardless, the food is worth the wait. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Chicken 649, I finally decided to try it! The flavors were indeed authentic, but I was a bit disappointed with the service. It took longer than expected to get our food, and the staff seemed overwhelmed. However, the chicken itself was still delicious. I would like to come back on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic experience! The chicken was served hot and crispy and the portions were generous, making up for the slightly long wait time. I tried both honey garlic and the yangnyeom flavors, and they were mind-blowingly delicious! The atmosphere is casual and cozy, perfect for a night out or a relaxed takeout meal. The staff are also super friendly and attentive. This is a must-visit for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Craving fried chicken? Look no further! Chicken 649 does not disappoint. I ordered takeout and was impressed by how hot everything stayed during my drive home. The original chicken is incredibly flavorful, crispy, and juicy—definitely one of the best I’ve had. The only drawback was that I didn’t get any pickled radish to go with it, which I usually love! Despite that small thing, I’m already planning my next visit to try more flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing family dinner at Chicken 649! The food was exquisite, a perfect blend of authentic flavors. The crispy chicken was an absolute hit with everyone at the table! The restaurant is laid back, but I found our table quite cramped for 4 people. Still, we had a lovely time overall and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

I highly recommend this spot for anyone craving Korean fried chicken! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love fried chicken, you're going to love Chicken 649! I thought the flavors were authentic and delicious. However, I found the seats quite uncomfortable, which made for a less enjoyable experience. But let's be honest—it's all about the chicken! I’ll definitely come back to try more flavors in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
