" A charming little restaurant that serves mouthwatering Korean fried chicken! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with happy faces and a great atmosphere. The dishes are well-prepared, and the blends of flavors accurately reflect Korean cooking traditions. Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thunderbird has some of the best fried chicken I've tasted! Their seasonings and flavors felt very authentic and made for a delightful dining experience. I loved the variety on the menu, but my only complaint would be that the long wait time can affect your hunger levels. Overall, worth it for the amazing taste! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Thunderbird and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant atmosphere and delicious food! We ordered the sweet and spicy fried chicken and they were perfectly crispy. The flavors were just right—not too spicy, but still full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. I will definitely come back to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Thunderbird for the first time last week and I was blown away! The fried chicken had the perfect amount of crunch and flavor. I also loved the apple slaw—it complemented the chicken wonderfully. The decor adds a nice touch to the dining experience; everything felt fresh and exciting. I can’t wait to go back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. I ordered the half and half chicken, and while the flavor was decent, it didn’t have that authentic taste I was hoping for. The atmosphere was cute, but I felt it didn’t quite live up to the hype. It was a good effort, but I’ve had better Korean fried chicken elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! I stumbled upon Thunderbird while exploring the area and gave it a chance. To my delight, the food was amazing! The crispy fried chicken rocked my world. The environment was lively, and the staff was so welcoming. My only gripe would be the fries could use a bit more seasoning, but that's minor. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about Thunderbird. The ambiance is welcoming with its fun decor. We ordered several items, including their famous popcorn chicken and some burgers. Both were sensational! My only complaint is that my friend felt the portions were a bit small for such a price. Nevertheless, the taste was phenomenal and I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
