Try Yangnyum. For a first order, consider Yangnyum or Spicy Red; both were specifically recommended with boneless wings.

Add rice. Garlic rice is a well-liked side, while kimchi fried rice may taste notably spicy and sour.

The Bottom Line

Kyochon in Motor City is a Korean fried chicken restaurant that suits a casual meal, especially when you want crisp, juicy chicken with a choice of sauces. Yangnyum, soy garlic, honey and spicy red are the recurring favourites, and the menu also gives you options such as kimchi fried rice, garlic rice, japchae noodles and bingsu. The chicken is the clear draw.

Customers describe it as fresh, hot and cooked thoroughly, while families appreciate the approachable menu and attentive service. The small indoor dining room is described as clean and quiet, with outdoor seating available; underground parking at First Avenue Mall makes access straightforward. There are a few practical caveats.

Some diners found the wings or chicken pieces smaller than expected, and delivery customers have complained about sparse, disappointing fries. One dessert order had hard, uncooked tapioca pearls, so bingsu quality may not be completely consistent. Kimchi fried rice can also be quite spicy and sour, while another review found the dishes under-salted.

For a first visit, Yangnyum or Spicy Red boneless wings are a useful starting point, with garlic rice as a popular side. The restaurant has also been praised for serving guests late, including after midnight.
