" Chikin Lickin is hands down one of the best places to get Korean fried chicken! The flavors are so authentic, just like what you would find in Korea. I ordered the Combo #1 and was shocked by the portion sizes! The wings were huge and the flavors in the sauces were on point. The staff is attentive and very accommodating. The only downside was waiting a bit longer due to the rush, but it was worth every minute. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful evening at Chikin Lickin! The fried chicken was crispy and the flavors of the sauces were incredibly authentic. I loved how you could sample the sauces before deciding. The service was outstanding! The staff was eager to help and even recommended some dishes. The only thing I’d say is that I wish the place was a bit bigger because it gets busy, which is a good sign! Overall, I loved the experience and can’t wait to try more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Chikin Lickin last weekend and I'm already dreaming about it! The wings and tenders were unbelievably good. We ordered various sauces and each one was better than the last.

I will definitely be coming back soon for more! " (*Curated Review*)
