The Story
Hopes? Finger lickin' chicken?
Reality? Mission accomplished.
First Impressions? Market stall street food chic. With hooks to hanh coats and whatnot. Welldone!
USP? For us, it's that chicken.
The offer in three words? "Choose your weapons!"
Service? Friendly and informative, with excellent drinks radar.

Eat me! Sticky Kimchi Word to the wise. Ask them to start you off with these steamed, filled dumplings. They need eating as fresh and hot as possible as the texture gets a little rubbery if you leave them. Entirely our fault for being seduced by all that chicken - the flavours were excellent and I'd order them again.
On to that brace of chooks. We tried K(orean) F(ried) F(arm) C(hicken) Yangnyeom - a bowl of excellently zhuzhed up tomato and chilli-covered marinated breast chicken chunks. This is quite possibly as good as you'll find in Madrid, crunchy, juicy, and those decent-sized chicken breast pieces are all cooked spot on. We're not talking a screamingly spicy dish, though. KFFC Soy Honey Glazed is a fine alternative, if you're not sure about the chilli option. There's a load of sweet and savoury gunge at the bottom of your bowl that demands dredging. Both chickens do need some chopstick skills if you're not going with cutlery or fingers, but they're first class dishes and entirely reliable chicken cooking..
Ordering Kimchi means a decent portion of evidently homemade pickled cabbage the staff are very proud of. It's good. Pickled chillis are more an acidic than a hot hit. Seasoning to cut through the sauces. They do add to the chicken nicely.
Friend friendly? Yep, all options available. Chopsticks or cutlery offered equally.
Rating for dating? Hmmm. Probably not a first-time spot for most. Good luck munching KFFC seductively. Especially with chopsticks. Short eating slots and stools at a counter might not make for the ambience you're after.

Tip? Yep.
Change one thing? They ran out of Cass. Bit of a shame.
Revisitability? Well, the menu's very short, but the quality's enticing. On top of that, home delivery is an option and, let's not kid ourselves, It beats Burger King.
