Finding Korean fried chicken near Detroit

👋🏽 It's Sam,writing to you from Troy's Kimchi Box.

The intrigue: The fast-casual spot serves fried chicken, kimchi and more with comfortable seating in a clean space.

  • Kimchi Box's Korean fried chicken is fried twice for the perfect crispy texture. It somehow lasts in your fridge way longer than you'd expect a piece of chicken slathered in soy garlic or sassy sauce — their house hot sauce.
  • I got the popcorn chicken ($12) with a side order of the kimchi ($2).

If you go: Open 11am-9pm Monday-Friday, 11:30am-9pm Saturday and Sunday.

  • 2897 W. Maple Rd, Troy.

💭Sam's thought bubble: Someone really needs to bring Korean fried chicken to the city. Having to drive 25 minutes to the nearest spot severely diminishes the amount I consume.

  • When I lived in Ann Arbor, Hola Seoul and Miss Kim's were part of my weekend routine.
  • Here's a roundup of where you can get Korean fried chicken in Metro Detroit.
