I'm a little apprehensive about chain restaurants, but Seoul Yummy manages to live up to its name, with decent army stew that's stuffed full of tender pork, beef and chicken (forgot to take a pic of that dagnabbit), but the king is definitely their spicy fried chicken.

The crispy, battered chicken was slathered in a supremely sumptuous sauce that brought just a smidgen of heat, but a whole farmload of flavor. Sweet, savory and sticky, the sauce alone was enough to convert me into a fan, but the batter and the chicken decided to up the wow factor even more. The chicken cocooned within the batter was utterly juicy and tender, the juices still locked into the pleasurably soft flesh. As for the batter itself, each bite elicited an earth shaking crunch from the crazily crispy batter, and the batter was commendably light on the oil. As a matter of fact, if the batter was a little thinner, it would give my all time favorite KFC, Kyochon Chicken, one helluva run for its money.

While many may snub this unassuming chain restaurant, it does absolutely yummy Korean Seoul food classics just right. Give that other prominent Korean Fried Chicken place the finger, and wing it down here for some wonderful wings done Seoul right.
