4. Professor Do’s Korean Fried Chicken
With a name inspired by "Professor Do," this Korean fried chicken spot naturally embraces a very Korean aesthetic. The tables, made from repurposed gasoline drums, are a common sight in Korean dramas. As for the food, the sweet and tangy sauce flavor of the fried chicken has less greasiness and more of a sweet and sour taste that makes you want to keep eating bite after bite — perhaps that’s the charm of sweet and sour sauces, offering a tangy appetite boost. Another signature dish is the Korean BBQ cheese chicken, which is first grilled then deep-fried to lock in all the sauce, finished with a sprinkle of cheese powder. The aroma is simply irresistible.
