Somebody told me this place had the best fried chicken in Oxford. When I bit into the chicken, flavor burst through my mouth and i felt the satisfying crunch of the sesame seeds mix with the tangy sweetness of the Gochujang, and I knew this was the best chicken i would ever have in Oxford. When I leave Oxford, the thing I’ll miss most shall not be my friends or the city but it shall be this gorgeous, lusciously ethereal chicken. God bless the Korean lady who bestowed this gift of the universe upon me. No joke tho the chicken slaps. I even got some free kimbap

This is one of my favorite Korean places that I keep coming back to. The kimbap is fresh and comforting, the tteokbokki has just the right balance of spice and sweetness, the Korean fried chicken is incredibly crispy and flavorful, and even the hot dogs are seriously addictive.

What I really like is that everything feels consistently good — not just one signature dish, but the whole menu. It’s the kind of place where you can casually stop by for a quick snack or end up ordering far more than you planned because everything smells amazing. Definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I’m craving Korean street food.
