Reviews for CALVIN'S KOREAN CHICKEN in La Jolla, CA
100% the best gluten free fried chicken place in all of SD. I always like to order the cheese fries, and 10pc tenders... We also... tried the wings (wonderful!), And this time tried the Devil's kiss spice level... Great level of heat! The kitchen is alwaysworking, online orders keep rolling in, and people keep coming up to the door to pick up their foods. Located in a corner of laJolla close to UCSD, it's a great place for a relaxing weekend meal with friends. 10/10 would recommend to anyone Read more
Fried chicken isn?t pretty, but here it?s done right. The place is tucked under the Musashi sign as seen in my picture. The... price seems high until you see the large pieces of chicken in the box. There are three outdoor tables and no indoor seating.Flavor, texture, moisture, and portions were all excellent. Recommended if you like fried chicken. Read more
Fantastic little shop for some Korean Fried Chicken. It seems to be dine-on-patio only, and the phone ordering system could be a... bitt easier to use. That said, we were completely satisfied with the food, and would be excited to eat here again. The spicelevels were perfect, and both the waffle fries and onion rings were cooked to perfection.

This chicken is amazing! It's not "good for gluten free" it's good fried chicken. They have a couple non-hot options which were... great. I got the two tender box and it was more than enough food. Read more

They used to be nearby in the old Atlas supermarket and we missed them dearly. Found them in their new location a few months ago... and the chicken is just like we remember. Very crispy, even after steaming in the box for a awhile, and the flavors are great. Iappreciate that they don't drench the wings in too much sauce like most other places and enjoy them plain just as well. I wouldcomplain about paying $18 for 10 wings if they were small, but they never are. Read more
Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - larger than typical Korean chicken wings, very bready and heavier than you would expect. But will... definitely satisfy your craving. The furikage was a bit sweet and the flavoring was only on the top where it was sprinkled.Devil garlic had a nice kick, very impressed at how crunchy it stayed with all the sauce. Ambience: N/A - ordered at the doorand there were two tables outside. Whole strip mall had tables outside for their customer to eat at Service: 4/5 - inconsistentservice? We waited at the table for a bit but no server then noticed that it said order online through the QR code. While wewere waiting for our pick-up, a group of ladies walked up waiting to order and we mentioned the sign. Server ran up and saysthat he could take their order Value for price: 4/5 - more expensive than other places Read more
This chicken really puts the National chains to share. The chicken was cooked perfectly on the inside, but what really makes it... special is the breading which is extra crunchy compared to Kentucky style. You can pick a spicy level for the sauce for thechicken, which I recommend the Level 5 because, well, i like to suffer. On top of that, they present a Korean style coleslaw,some rice, and perfectly fried waffle fries. Read more
