I had the 16 wings which comes with two flavors and a small portion of wedges. For the wings I had Honey Garlic and Sweet & Spicy. The wings were decent and good flavor. They also have tanghulu which I'll have to try next time. I'd come back again if I was in the area. They have valet for $3.

They went away for a little but came back STRONG like Jordan. They have a $20 boneless deal, 2 flavors, wedges, and radish. Yangnyeom and Honey Soy Garlic...these are the PERFECT complements to each other!

Stopped by for a lunch/dinner with friends and we were very happy with our experience! The staff/owner was very kind and accommodating and the interior was clean. It is a bit small inside with maybe 2-3 tables for eating so I assume most people get it to go. The plaza has very little parking and it's usually very crowded so beware! As a Korean chicken fan, I had to try. I ordered the 10 pc. Wings Combo with the 77 Chili and Honey Butter flavors. The combo comes with a side of either fries or tater tots and a drink for $21.99 which is a great deal! The portions were generous compared to other chicken places I've visited and they had some of the biggest wings I've ever seen! The 77 Chili wasn't too spicy and Honey Butter was deliciously sweet and savory. I definitely recommend trying their chicken and if you don't like fried chicken they also have breakfast burritos and burgers too! They also serve Sapporo on tap and have soju as well. *Chef's kiss*

Overall: 4.4/5 (Doordash delivery) My husband was craving Korean Fried Chicken and wanted a spot that was consistently good so we went with 77 Kentucky. I just wish they provided pickled radish with each order of chicken instead of charging more. You do need a cooling vegetable to eat with the chicken or it's just too much. We got a full size boneless chicken order ($29.49) with half soy garlic and half honey butter. We added crispy onion chips on top which they gave a generous amount of. The two flavors tasted similar this time that I couldn't really tell the difference. The flavors were good and the chicken was tasty but it wasn't as amazing as the first time. It's still above average and satisfied our cravings. Hash Brown Patty ($1.99): Tasted like a normal hash brown, nothing special. I would like it to be a bit crispier though.

One of my favorite Korean fried chicken places! Chicken is always so juicy and tender. And the marinade is perfect! I usually get the boneless chicken half size with garlic sauce. I did a phone order and the service was prompt. They told me it would ready in 10-15 minutes and I was able to pay and pick it up quickly.

Was in the mood for some Korean Fried Chicken which in Ktown is suprisingly difficult to ascertain the good from the great. 77 Kentucky when you first walk in is actually quite small and fits the definition of a mom and pop restaurant. Even so, the KFC is one of the best I've ever had. For 2, we shared a half/half whole chicken with Sweet Spicy and Red Hot Pepper Bone-in. This ended up being a lot of chicken for just two people not to forget the fries they throw in as well. The best part had to be the way they fry the chicken. It's so crunchy on the outside yet moist on the inside. I remember biting in and lowkey almost burning my tongue with how hot it stil was inside. The sauce is also great. Red Hot Pepper does come with a kick but it's not unbearably chemical burns kind of spicy. Sweet Spicy is more of a sweet than a spicy. If you are not a sauce kind of person, I would beware as there is a lot of sauce added to this chicken. Overall as an avid KFC fan, I would definitely come back and maybe even take some family here!

You're a real one if you're at 77 Kentucky. It's a mom and pop Korean chicken store that has some of the best chicken in k-town. Since it's a smaller place, lots of people don't know about it and head to Bonchon, but I prefer here after 6 years in k-town. Their best chicken is the garlic flavor hands down. Their chicken is okay, but the garlic is the crunchiest while the others don't have the same crisp. The fries on the side are also super solid. Sides are a cabbage slaw and pickled radish. Shoutout to the owners who are incredibly sweet and have run the place for years!

My new favorite Korean fried chicken. I discovered this place as it was open late. I drove in for a pick up. The first time I did not know what to order, so I came in ordered and waited for my food. It looks like the make all the orders as they come in so it was a little bit of a wait. The next time, I called in order for pick up. As for the food, sooo delicious. I don't know how to explain it, but the chicken is almost puffy very crispy and so good!! My favorite is the garlic. Each order comes with fries and a side of radish. I typically get an extra side of fries and radish as their portions are pretty generous, so I have plenty of leftovers. This is currently my favorite place and I have gone back multiple times since I discovered it. I would definitely recommend for Korean fried chicken. Couple of logistics I wanted to mention. The parking lot gets super full, but if you explain to the valet guy, there's a quick loading area to pick up food. If you go after the other restaurants close, there is plenty of parking. They also take credit card, but prefer cash, so I brought cash the next time. Definitely check this place out!

First time trying 77 Kentucky and very delicious, even the breast pieces fresh is good. We got the A-3 bone Bone-In Chicken (/) with sweet and spicy 4/5, honey mustard 5/5, and fries 5/5 my husband loved the sweet and spicy and I loved the honey mustard as I am a sweets kind of gal! Both flavors are good! Got a pitcher of Sapporo for $11.50, what a deal! The restaurant and bathroom could be a little more clean/ appealing. And that's why I give 4/5 but it's actually a 4 3/4 / 5 lol This is a must try place when in Koreantown. It's not a huge place so I wouldn't bring a party to sit and try.
