Post subject: Korean Fried Chicken? (the other type of KFC)

Are there any places that serve Korean-style fried chicken? I'm not sure if there's a name for it, but basically its fried very crispy with a sweet/garlic/soy sauce batter and very little fat. Its popular in the States now. Here's some info -

5 years in-country i havent seen anything remotely close. i think theres a korean fried chicken place by the jw marriot- haven't tried it yet.

i do miss my kyochon hot fix but after 2 and a half months in shanghai without a break, id settle for a popeye's extra spicy.

There is a place on ziteng 紫藤路road in Longbai 龙柏新村 by the outer road. The area is pretty much recognized as little Korea. The name of the restaurant is call Good Friends and they have exactly what your looking for.

There is a place on Lancun Lu between Nan Quan Lu and Dong Fang Lu in Pu Dong. I used to live near there and loved it. Excellent fried chicken. It is a fast food joint that is based in Korea and has shops all over Asian. I have seen a couple being built in Hanoi.

Seen the Korean Fried Chicken near MingHang Jiao Tong University at a Korean restaurant. It's on the same road as one of the main entrances of Jiao Tong. I don't have the address and i dont know the road's name. But at least you know it does exist in Shanghai.
