Delicious fried chicken! Prices significantly lower than the Crack Shack. We got the whole chicken baked & fried with no sauce, plus at the staff's recommendation (almost insistence) we added the 5-piece legs baked and fried with Dom sauce. I only ate the plain but it was great! The whole chicken came with 2 wings, 2 small legs, and a bunch of 2 inch pieces with bones. Lots of surface area with light, crisp breading. I enjoyed the sweet and crunchy pickled radish accompaniment. The 5 legs were much bigger and juicier legs than the ones that came with the whole chicken. Hubby liked the Dom sauce but wants to try the garlic sauce next time. He thought the coleslaw was ok (needed salt) and he wouldn't get the baked potato again. We'll probably try 2 orders of legs: 1 plain and 1 with garlic (and not get the whole chicken) next time. Nice selection of local beers (pictured)! Local beers & beverages

Great food and friendly service. Had the Don chicken and the garlic chicken. Welcome to Encinitas!

This is very good chicken. The fries were also really good and pair well with the chicken, of course. We tried 3 different kinds of chicken, weren't really sure what to get, but they were all great. A sample platter kind of option would be appreciated, since there are so many options and I am not familiar with half of them. The chicken is all fresh baked though, so probably not something they can realistically do without throwing out a lot of chicken or serving chicken that isn't as fresh. Anyone comparing this to Costco chicken or any whole chicken you can get at any store clearly doesn't enjoy their food fully. The quality of the chicken at Don Chicken, the amount of meat in each piece, it's ridiculously good. Make sure to get some pickled radish as a side. Really balances well with the chicken and fries.

This place is awesome! Don Chicken is a family run chicken shop that serves up super healthy and affordable roasted/fried chicken. They use only the freshest ingredients and you can tell the love they put into their food. This place is right next to Orange Theory and makes for the perfect post workout meal. Go out and support your local businesses!

So delicious and very comfortable. I really enjoyed the oven chicken, especially hot spicy honey(Maecom Honey) & cheese Bull Dak were great! I am looking forward to watching Moday night football at Don Chicken.

Don Chicken delivers delicious Korean chicken with warm, welcoming customer service. They know what they're doing! It's great to have Korean chicken in the neighborhood, especially for takeout! :)

Great local Korean chicken shop with lovely customer service. The menu offers a good variety. Both the oven and fried chicken options are delicious with just the right amount of flavor that is not too overpowering. Also great price for the quality and portion size. Highly recommend this shop for all chicken lovers!
