IN THE WORDS OF JAE LEE, CHEF / OWNER

I was born overseas, so I grew up in a Korean household. I took my upbringing in the States and my experience of American fried chicken and fused it with Korean flavors and sauces.

When I was starting the restaurant, my mom told me: “This is never going to work. This concept? No. You’re ruining a thousand years of tradition, you’re mixing and matching these American and Korean flavors.”

But just the fact that someone who comes in enjoys it enough that they’re going to bring a friend or relative over, that means everything.

Thanks for supporting Crisp!
