Rice Chicken

Take a drive through Koreatown and you won’t pass more than two blocks without finding another shop serving Korean-style fried chicken, but you won't find any better than the wings and boneless strips served at this 8th Street newcomer. The fried chicken happens to be gluten-free, but even those who don’t have celiac disease will appreciate the light, crispy batter and wide variety of sauces and dips. We enjoyed the Ruby Jade (soy garlic), Sweet Goblin (honey garlic) and Green Forest (topped with green onion), and even with the higher-than-average prices—since rice flour is more expensive—Rice Chicken is an obvious shoo-in for the best Korean fried chicken in Los Angeles.
