Was DK Lo at Core a mag?
My favorite Korean chicken restaurant is probably also the least well-known. The unique thing about Korean fried chicken is that you often end up with dry pieces when you order it. However, I have never had that issue when ordering boneless chicken from this place. I highly recommend trying the signature Core chicken with rose sauce - it is amazingly delicious.

What Kayley Feest dislikes about Core:
Attentive waitress, flexible to our needs. Beautiful room, appreciated the exposed brick and artwork. Noise level high , most likely due to brick walls and concrete flooring Food delicious however portions small for our appetites View all feedback.
Had a great time eith a friend during winterlicious. Service was excellent we had a very nice waiter and the crowd and ambience is excellent. Beet salad was delicious but my pasta main and the cheese platter were just okay. The service makes up for it. Told the waiter I was on medication and asks for a virgin drink and he had the bartender make me something original! I would definitely come back!
The chicken at this restaurant is amazing. We tried the rose mozzarella sweet and spicy flavors, and although they were somewhat similar, each had its own unique twist. The chicken stayed wonderfully crispy even after being brought home. I was pleasantly surprised that the kimchi fries also stayed crispy. The service was friendly, and you can't go wrong with Core.
Since the first time I had the Sweet and Spicy fried chicken, I have been ordering regularly through Ubereats. This restaurant has the best Korean Fried Chicken!!
Everything on the menu at Core is amazing. If you're hesitant to order or dine in, don't waste any more time - their food is delicious. The portions are huge, the flavors are incredible, and the Chef and Owner, H, is great. This family-run restaurant stays true to their roots and deserves your support. Core should always be a go-to spot in the East end.
My husband and I were in a rush as we had tickets to see a show. The waitress was very accommodating and did a great job serving us. The food was also very tasty and just right for a light quick and tasty dinner. The restaurant is small and found eating up front by the big windows a bit chilly. Perhaps it was because the weather was starting to get colder and the temperature hadn't regulated yet. I think this would be an excellent take out option.
