Calvin's Korean Hot Chicken

SO SO GOOD. I could have anything on the menu but two things and it was delicious! I ate here twice. I am super sensitive and I had no reaction both times

Amazing fried chicken, fries, and rice. The tender box was a great deal; very filling for the price. The server said that they take extra precautions if ypu specify an allergy. Would definitely come back!

The chicken breading was GF DF. The combo came with GF waffle fries, slaw and butter rice. They were able to make the rice DF for us by not adding butter. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The food was good with large portions. I’m super sensitive and didn’t get sick. We will be back.

Holy Cow! It’s all true. Glad I listened to everyone on this site/app! It is absolutely delicious, crispy, and relatively light. Just went with 3 tenders and they were fantastic. Got them delivered to a nearby hotel and the delivery service was also excellent. I can see why one reviewer would be brought nearly to tears for something you can’t normally enjoy like this! Just get this chicken, man!!

This is the best chicken tender I've ever had pre and post Celiac. The food is amazing. I opted for some non-spicy tenders and they were really flavorful, and a tiny bit saucy. The waffle fries, and coleslaw that it comes with are delicious too.

Great food, generous portions, and wonderful service. All fried chicken flavors are gluten free, as are the vast majority of side dishes. Would highly recommend! I’d also recommend to order some dipping sauces to go with the chicken. Ranch and Secret Sauce were both awesome!!

We ordered at the front on our phones then picked up the order and ate right outside. I got the 2 tenders box. Very generous portions and each item was so good! Literally cry when I find places like this because I thought I would never have fried chicken again!

My rant/issue is largely due to covid restrictions that are still in place as of oct 2021: They make you order all food online (the employees will not talk to you before). None of the employees were wearing gloves or washing their hands between handling food. So if the order before yours has a sandwich, massive cross contamination issues. I attempted to have a conversation about this because of celiac, and the employees just simply wouldn’t. It was disappointing, and I did test the food on my nima sensor (I know it’s not perfect), but even that amount of cross contamination was picked up.

This was some delicious fried chicken battered with cornstarch. My two pieces were huge, and I couldn't eat them both. I got the devil garlic sauce which was very, very spicy. Will get the next lower spice level next time. Tamari was used in the sauces. The fries were crisp. Iwas told everything is GF except the onion rings (fried separately) and the roll for the sandwich. It was a great experience.

Just WOW; the fried chicken tenders were amazing!! I barely ever get fried chicken since it is hard to come by gluten free and this was WELL WORTH IT. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant more; GO!!!

This place is absolutely amazing. The food is delicious, and if you mention that you have celiacs they will fry everything in the gf fryer. Normally the sides are fried in a fryer with gf cross contamination, so make sure you mention this.

All the chicken sauces are made with gluten free soy sauce and are extremely good.

I’ve been here five or six times and haven’t gotten sick at all.

Picked this up for dinner tonight. Was told the breading on the chicken is a corn starch and rice flour blend. Also asked about the sauces and was told all the sauces are now tamari based. It was so good!

Great gluten free fried chicken. Calvin’s wasn’t intended to be gluten free; he just found that a gluten free batter made the best chicken.

Fries, tenders and wings are all incredible. Some sides are strangely bad: avoid the slaw (just cabbage in vinegar) and edamame and corn (unseasoned and cold).

Unclear if the dipping sauces are gf, so I’d avoid if sensitive. Additionally, gluten containing bread, onion rings and poppers are sold (and it’s not clear what the cross contamination protocols are).

Calvin makes amazing friend chicken. As someone who is celiac, finding good fried chicken is really difficult. Calvin explained that he was just looking to make the crispiest and crunchiest fried chicken he could- it just turned out the batter just happened to be gluten free! What a happy surprise. Only a couple of the wing options are GF right now since he just opened, but Calvin explained with the recent influx of GF customers, he plans on adding GF buns and to convert most of his sauce options to GF in the coming weeks. So, it should be a mostly gf menu!!! I also expect that he will mark the menu better with the gf options going forward. It seems like since he’s just getting started things are still getting settled, but he plans on better catering to the GF crowd going forward. GF or not, this was GREAT fried chicken and my non-gf partner loved it too. Give it a try!!!

Wow. Gluten free fried chicken with almost a slight teriyaki vibe under the breading. Great fries as well.
