"The Honey Butter wings were a hit! We also ordered the Honey Soy wings and the original, but the hubsnsaidnhe really liked the Honey Butter...Yakisoba was delicious as well. This is a good spot for a quick last-minute dinner when in a pinch. Vibe was almost loungy, when we went to pick up around 7 p.m., low lighting and booths made it feel cozy."

"Final Review I had an amazing visit to Crispy Chicken n' Tomato, where the management and team have truly outdone themselves in delivering top-notch service and exquisite food. The highlight, their chi-mek, is a must-try, showcasing the dedication of the management to provide an unforgettable dining experience. The restaurant excels in creating a welcoming atmosphere with meticulously prepared dishes. I highly recommend giving them a try for an exceptional culinary adventure. Kudos to the management for maintaining such high standards! Second Review My recent experience at Chicken n' Tomato unfortunately did not match the high standards I've come to expect based on my previous visits. Normally, I'm delighted by their consistent quality in both food and atmosphere. This time, however, the service felt rushed and less welcoming. The presentation of the food also differed from the usual charming Korean food stall cartons, being served instead in plain takeout boxes, which detracted from the overall experience. Additionally, a portion of our chicken wings were disappointingly cold and chewy, a stark contrast to the rest which were as delicious and fresh as I've usually enjoyed. I'm hopeful this was just a one-off situation, as I've always considered Chicken n' Tomato a top-notch choice for chi-mec….. First Review Crispy Chicken n’ Tomato in San Diego is a haven for Korean fried chicken lovers, meriting every bit of its five-star reputation. The moment you enter, you're greeted by an atmosphere that’s both vibrant and inviting, a perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The staff here take hospitality to another level, welcoming guests with warm smiles and an attentive service that makes you feel right at home. The culinary star here is undoubtedly their Korean fried chicken, a masterful blend of crunch, flavor, and juiciness that tantalizes your taste buds. Each piece is a testament to their commitment to quality, boasting a golden, crispy exterior and tender, perfectly cooked meat inside. It's not just delicious; it's a flavor journey. But the real showstopper is their signature “monster” sauce – a marvelously spicy concoction that adds an exhilarating kick to the chicken. This sauce strikes a flawless balance between heat and flavor, enhancing rather than overpowering the chicken's natural taste. It's a bold, addictive flavor that keeps you coming back for more. Crispy Chicken n’ Tomato's chi-mek (chicken and beer) experience is unparalleled. The variety of beers on offer perfectly complements the spicy, savory notes of the chicken, creating a match made in culinary heaven. And the side dishes? Each is crafted with the same attention to detail and quality, adding depth and variety to your meal. The ambiance is lively yet comfortable, making it an ideal spot for both casual dinners and special gatherings. The staff's knowledge of the menu and their eagerness to recommend dishes based on your preferences is a testament to their professionalism and passion for food. In conclusion, Crispy Chicken n’ Tomato is not just a restaurant; it's a destination for exceptional food and service. Their monster sauce is a must-try for anyone who loves a spicy kick, and their overall commitment to quality makes them the best chi-mek spot in San Diego. A visit here promises not just a meal, but an experience that delights all the senses."

"Yori sauce was hands down the best! We tried garlic, original, monster and yori and nothing competed to the yori sauce. Their fries were delicious and crispy AND their onion rings were super delicious. Highly recommend this place! It is SOOO much better than padadak."

"Chicken is hot and fresh. Lots of flavor, though the price is a bit difficult to swallow. $16 for 8 wing size pieces of chicken, some of which were mostly bones. the patio is quite pleasent and the staff is very friendly."

"Been wanting to go here for a few months and they didn't disappoint! Popped in for dinner, not very busy at 6:30 pm, plenty of parking right in front and seating inside and out. The have a good sized bar inside and an ordering counter, good flow to the place, very clean. They had classic Oldies playing in the background, loud enough to hear clearly but still have a conversation without issues. The staff were friendly, informative, and helpful with questions and menu items and suggestions. Menu was very easy to navigate and has good options. We got the 6 strips and a combo plate, which the combo really is enough for 2 in itself! Came with fries, coleslaw, and rice in addition to the 5 hefty strips/chunks of crispy crunchy fried chicken-which were amazingly juicy inside and Super crisp outside. Hubby said that lunch time this place and parking is topped out with people, so plan wisely because it is worth it."
