The chicken soups are great! Very traditional and thick! Cold noodles are chewy and tasty as well impressive! Staffs are very cute grandpa and granny, kind and lovely!

BN chicken is famous for ginseng chicken soup. Best in the Bay Area. Cold noodle is also good. But a little expensive than the normal Korean restaurant, I still recommend to visit BN chicken.

Samgyetang (chicken soup) was amazing. Very flavorful. A co-worker brought me here today for lunch. I didn't realize they have samgyetang here. I enjoyed these very much and often when I was in Gwangju and Seoul, specially during uber cold season. Noticeably they use game hen chickens here, in SK they use small sized normal chicken, but it's all good just the same. Definitely now one of my go-to place for chicken soup.

The chicken soup is very delicious! A whole chicken with some sticky rick stuffed inside. Tastes good and feels healthy!

So glad I found this place for Korean ginseng chicken soup! We ordered the original and the red ginseng version. Both are great! I like the red ginseng one a bit more. The soup is warm and flavorful, it just hits the spot! We got takeout and the soup is piping hot and very well packaged. I imagine eating at the restaurant would be even better. The service on the phone is super friendly. The chicken wings are good too, but not as special as the soup. We'll definitely be back again! :)

I like their chicken wings instead of the signature chicken soup. The wings are not over fried.

Still the best samgyetang in Bay Area. I've been coming to this place when I am craving for ginseng chicken soup (samgyetang). Portion enough for 2 meals for me. This place was packed during lunch time. The basic sam gyetang cost 27 plus tax plus tips. So be aware before dining here. Only has one server an elderly man who serve the whole restaurant, probably to keep it open as rent is expensive. But service is fast, no need to wait too long. In and out in 30-40 minutes if you are dining in. Don't compare to samgyetang in Seoul in price or quality as the airfare ticket cost way more than 35

THE best samgyetang I've ever had! I ordered the regular samgyetang and it was phenomenal. The chicken was fresh and tender. The sticky rice and dates inside the chicken were very flavorful. The kimchi (which comes as a side) here was also top-notch, adding to the chicken an additional dimension of flavor and texture. The portion is generous as well. A whole young stuffed chicken would fill your tummy for sure. Will definitely come back.
