What Korean Fried Chicken Chain Is Growing In New Jersey?

What's cool is that it's a chain that's as authentic as it gets, it got its start in South Korea in 2002 before opening in America in 2004.

This place doesn't just do Korean fried chicken by the way, you can also get pot stickers, Korean Tacos, shrimp, sliders, and a lot more.
