CRISP

Korean Restaurant – Lakeview.

Flavor Scale (1-5): 4.8

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, and I’m so glad I finally did! Crisp is known as one of the best Korean fried chicken spots in the city, and it definitely lives up to the hype. I went with a friend who was also eager to check it out. The space is small and casual, with a few benches, but dining in added to the experience.

We ordered Five Whole Wings, Three Drumsticks, Onion Rings, and Marty’s Magic Fried Shrooms (deep-fried mushrooms). First off, the chicken is massive—three pieces could easily satisfy most people! We chose two flavors: Sassy and BBQ. Everything was amazing. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, and the sauces were delicious. We both left stuffed, with leftovers to take home.

This is my kind of spot! I highly recommend it if you’re in Lakeview East or just craving some fantastic Korean fried chicken!
