A while back, my husband and I took Katella Avenue on both our trips to and from Disneyland, mainly to explore interesting restaurants along the way. Few months ago, we stumbled upon a fried chicken spot with a quirky name. After checking out the reviews (which were excellent), we decided to give it a try. The owner of this fried chicken place seems to be run by Korean, and the vibe reminded me of those small neighborhood chicken places in Seoul. We ordered half a chicken (5 pieces) for $14.99, which came with a small side of pickled radish. Although the wait was a bit long, the chicken was fried so well--super crispy and flavorful. We chose the Extra Sweet Spicy sauce, which the staff recommended. It was absolutely delicious and not spicy at all! Surprisingly, they also serve fried rice (with bits of sausage!), and the price is incredibly reasonable. A small portion, which even comes with a side of teriyaki sauce, costs just $5.99. Honestly, that kind of pricing is hard to find in Southern California! They also sell frozen fried chicken (perfect for reheating in an air fryer at home) and Jayone frozen kimbap for $3.99 each, the same price as local Korean supermarkets. If you dine in, there's free soft-serve ice cream (you can refill it yourself, though the container is one of those small sauce cups). They also have a water dispenser for self-service and provide wet wipes, which is always a nice touch. The only downside? No restroom! Overall, we really enjoyed the food and will definitely return for their fried chicken. Crunchicken 11513 Knott Ave, Cypress, CA 90630
Great food and service! I had a chicken bowl with garlic sauce. My son had wings combo with sweet and spicy. Both were delicious!
I was really craving some chicken today and saw this place wasn't really too far from my work so I decided to check this place out. Located in a strip mall there is plenty of parking around so no hassle there. The restaurant and seating area itself is pretty spacious. I walked up and was debating between a chicken bowl and the tenders and opted to get the 4pc chicken tender combo that came with fries and a drink. Altogether it was around $15. Lady that took the order was nice and food took about 5-10 mins. I decided to get the sauce on the side which was the honey garlic sauce. Opening the box I was surprised that there was more than 4 pieces and was pretty happy about that! The pieces looked absolutely crunchy and the fries looked great but how did it taste?... I am happy to report that this is some pretty damn good chicken! Crunchy to the bite and once dipped in the honey garlic sauce, it was savory and delicious. The fries were crunchy as well and tasted really good! For the price I paid I have to admit with the amount of food received it's almost a steal (even with the hyperinflation... lol) the tenders were delicious and would definitely order again! It looked like this place is family owned so I can't recommend it more if you need a chicken fix! Definitely get it here!!

very scrummy chicken I had the combo with wings and fries and it was very crispy and delicious :) the owners are so sweet and it's such a cozy little restaurant. you also get free soft serve if you order and thats very yum
A chicken lovers gem This place is located in the corner of a little shopping center, you may overlook it when you're passing by. But you shouldn't. Their chicken tasted amazing. Perfectly crusted, juicy and full of flavor. They had reasonable prices and their portion size fit with a charge. Looks like a small little mom and pop shop, but don't let that dissuade you from their awesome flavors. The one thing that I did like about them, is that they do sell wings to go. So if you want to look like, just buy some of their wings, fry them up and serve them and let your company be amazed. If I'm in the area, I will definitely revisit this place. Not to mention they give you a free ice cream when you come in. What more do you want?
Found this little gym when I was on my way from a store. I love Korean fried chicken so when I found out that this place is only 10 minutes away. I just placed an order for pick up and never regretted that decision. Parking is plenty in their plaza, and they were able to accommodate fresh food just in time with my eta arrival. Would love to come back next time!
best chicken place ever!!!!! i love the honey garlic chicken bowl so much i always get it and it never disappoints. wings are also huge and worth the price. it's also nice that they have complimentary soft serve 10/10
I've been going to Crunchicken for years, and it's hands down my go-to spot for Korean fried chicken! I recently got the 8-piece wings with the sauce on the side, and they did not disappoint. Their honey garlic sauce is a must-try--perfect balance of sweet and savory. The wings are super crispy, and the chicken is always juicy. They also throw in free pickled radishes on the side, which is a nice touch. If you're hosting a party, their trays are awesome too! I would also recommend the fries and deluxe chicken sandwich. Plenty of parking and great service! There's also tables inside if you want to eat there too. Plus, they have a free self-serve vanilla ice cream machine that's so good. Overall, it's a local gem that never lets me down! I highly recommend this place!
I'm glad Crunchicken was able to successfully reopen because the food here is so good. The interior is a nice improvement from what it used to be. I also see their menu has expanded. Korean fried chicken in general is amazing, if you've never had it before then this place has some great chicken. Very crispy, flaky and meat cooked very well. The prices have about doubled since my last review, However those are fairly standard Korean fried chicken prices IMO no matter where you go. The service is always friendly and a big plus for the free soft serve if you're into vanilla soft serve.
