Most Korean fried chicken loses its crunch the moment it hits a delivery bag, which is exactly the problem the Tikkudak method is built to solve -- the grilling step pulls enough fat out of the skin that it holds up far longer than the standard double-fry. The spicy garlic chicken brings real heat rather than a polite approximation of it, and the snow onion wings -- chicken tossed with a mountain of sweet-tangy shredded onion -- are the specific dish that turned this into an Evanston destination rather than just another delivery option.
Hours run 11:30am-9pm most of the week, pushed to 10pm Friday and Saturday -- reasonably late for a Davis Street spot, useful to know if you're ordering after a late movie or a Northwestern game.
