Why go
Boongs Korean Fried Chicken is worth using for a quick Midtown East fried-chicken meal, especially at lunch or late evening, but not for a polished dinner. Go for Korean fried chicken, ramen, and counter-service convenience; skip it when the occasion calls for reservations, pacing, or a room built for lingering.
