The Chicken Lab: Discover Authentic Korean Fried Chicken & BBQ in Baltimore

This is probably my favorite food option in Cross Street market, and I crave it on almost a weekly basis. Really good fried chicken (I love the jalapeño garlic), and don't skip the fried rice cakes! I also love getting the bowl and the Korean style BBQ chicken. The spicy mayo dipping sauce also hits the spot. It's very easy to order online and pickup, and service is solid. Very convenient and addicting!

Great service - I ordered online and it was ready when I arrived 15 mins later. Also, this was the best fried chicken sandwich and fries I've had in a long time.

This place has the classic double fried Korean chicken wings and I'm a huge fan. It's unfortunate that it closes at 8, I've forgotten about that and missed the delivery window, but the food is awesome. The spicy sauce is indeed spicy, the price point is competitive with BRD, another fried chicken place a few steps away, and the kimchi fries are top notch when they're all hot and melty

We decided to get dinner near the BIL's house and Ramen was the request. The BIL said that there was a good place at Cross Street but alas it was closed on the day we went. I did find this spot and it seemed intriguing, so off we went to get some dinner. I got the Chicken Gang-jeong with a choice of either soy or spicy chicken, I of course chose the spicy. The rice cakes were as expected chewy, and cooked just right. The chicken and sauce covered the entire takeout container. I wish there was some pickled veggies (turnips and/or carrots) just because the sauce was so much. Some rice may have helped with this also but i think I just needed something sour to just cut through it all. Overall, I would go back but i may ask to see if they could get me a side of pickled diakon. If not maybe see if Theo's (the Banh Mi place) would be willing to sell me a side.

The sandwich is definitely the way to go after having tried the sandwich and the rice bowl. It is cheaper and the portion is relatively the same. I opted for soy garlic this time, but there definitely was not enough sauce. Regardless, everything was tasty and it was a great move to put the slaw and pickle in a separate container so the buns didn't get soggy. My only complaint is the shop should've labeled the sandwiches since our group order of 8 sandwiches all came together and it was a puzzle trying to figure out which sauce was on what sandwich.

I like this place and I have been here many times. The service seems to be better. You order at a kiosk and pay there. You can select your dish and options for preparation. It takes about 10 min for them to make your food. I usually take the food home but there is a cool seating area with places near by where you could get an alcoholic beverage. I get the chicken dumplings with the traditional spicy sauce. It is so good. Crunchy, sticky, spicy, sweet. The portion size is very large too. This is a quick easy option for sit down restaurant quality food to go.

This was recommend to me by my wife. She had gotten it before and raved about it. We stopped by today, and while I enjoyed it, she was a bit disappointed. For what we got, I would say it is a solid 3.5/4 stars. OK value, OK quality, OK service. The prices are relatively reasonable for the markets, and the concept is appealing. Sandwiches were not huge, but were a reasonable amount of food. The spicy fries were good too, but a bit small. The only real issue for me was the service. It took about 15 min for them to prepare our food. And during that time I only saw them put out maybe 2-3 other orders... not terrible, just not very quick considering the minimal prep required. Will consider going back, maybe next time my experience will be closer to the one my wife raved about.

I was searching for wings on Yelp and came across this new restaurant!!! I was intrigued by the menu and excited to eat some Korean chicken and ordered delivery! We got the chicken gang-jeong with the original sauce. The rice cakes were amazingly chewy and I could not stop eating them! The boneless chicken pieces were well seasoned in a sweet and spicy sauce. The veggies were a nice relief from the heaviness of the rice cakes and chicken. Overall an awesome dish! I also couldn't pass up the chance to get Korean fried chicken so got the wing combo. I opted for the soy garlic sauce which was pretty subtle but the wings were well fried. I opted for the seasoned fries and might forego that option next time. I put both the wings and fries in my air fryer due to heat them up from the delivery. Would highly recommend! Excited this spot is in Baltimore!
