I am ONLY rating the two dishes that ALWAYS reminds me, I'm such a fat pig.
#1: Â Pork Belly/Pork Hocks (Bosssam/JokBal COMBO) HOLY CRAP!! this is FANTASTIC here...very moist and not dry like other places and the kimchee and steamed cabbage are on point.
#2: Â Fried Chicken: Â This has been their specialty for years...since 1990 I have been coming for this...very moist and tasty..not dry like the other korean joints...btw, it's korean fried chicken..no batter..just skin on chicken.
They have the worst cocktails..just order a bottle during happy hour (half off) so a bottle of Johnny Black is $75 between 4-8pm BUT they are tight asses..they charge for soda/water and no deals on the food....service is okay BUT like yelper S.K. noted...even if you drop a nickel (ie. $500), they still nickel and dime you.
This place wreaks of nostalgic class and flavor. Â I imagine that this is the type of place Sinatra got drunk at before he would go home and beat his wife. Â Yes, I imagine Sinatra has a physical abusing husband, and as a patron of Korean bars!
The waiters have a pretty broad selection of drinks, and they pour heavy. Â No 2 second pour at this joint! Â While sipping on your drink of choice, the waiter will most likely bring you a Korean pancake (filled with vegetables and egg - really good).
If you eat here, the most common and popular dishes are the fried chicken, and the sweet and sour beef. Â From all the dishes I've had here though, it's really hard to go wrong with anything.
If you have a large group, ask for the big room in the back. Â You can be totally secluded with double-doors you can close to keep out others.
Highly recommend this place as a regular joint for koreatown newbies.
I went there for dinner  last week and the atmosphere is really cool.  The food is great and yes the chicken especially spicy chicken is awesome!  My only complaint is that it was really hot inside.  I think there AC is broken or they were trying to save money. It was just as hot outside as inside.
Review Source:The only reason this place gets a star is for the fact that it has a great entertainment background and is neat to see in person (for the decor...)  My husband took me here last weekend because I love the t.v. shows New Girl and Mad Men. New Girl, especially, films here regularly.  (Its portrayed as Nick's Bar on the show.) However, that is where the positives regarding this place end. We got there a little bit before 4:30 for HH because we had read multiple reviews that the food was pricey. Keep in mind the place opened at 4, as I continue. We waited abut 15 minutes for the waiter and when he did come he informed me he couldn't do any mixed drinks because the bartender wasn't scheduled until 5. ?????? Who has a HH start at 4 but doesn't staff for it? Strike One. We ordered "sweet potato fries", which came out like dried onion rings you would find on top of your green bean casserole at Thanksgiving and covered with sugar- terrible. Strike Two. Then we ordered dumplings because we were still starving and refused to eat the "fries." The dumplings were decent, but rather plain and definately not worth the $$$. Soooo "Strike Three, You're Out"-as were we. The best thing about our meal was the free chips and salsa, which  for a Korean food restaurant should  about sum it up.
Review Source:I took my wife here since she is an actress and we know they film a good number of movies and shows here. (New Girl, Mad Men, Thank You For Not Smoking...) So it was cool to come in and see that. We even found FREE street parking! And this is where all of our fun stopped, it was all downhill from there.
Admitted we were a little early on a Sat we rolled in around 4:30pm, but they had ben open for a little over 30mins. We walk in sort of excited to check this place out. We are the only customers in the place. When came in they were installing new LED tv's and that seemed to be the only thing they cared about. It took 10 mins for someone to help us, then we find out that there is no bartender. Happy Hour started at 4pm, but the bartender was coming in till 5pm, so you could only order beer! My wife doesn't drink beer. It was a joke.
We order some sweet potato fries, which came out stringy almost burnt and were closer to a noodle than a fry. So skip. Then the dumplings followed a bit later and were decent, but not worth the price. The best food part was the free chips and salsa, which should say everything for a Korean food restaurant.
We watched two couples walk out from the bad service and another bail after it was now after 5pm and still no bartender. Our server kept apologizing for the bad service, but then it never got any better. The food is way on the pricey side, so beware. The HH was decent and draw, but the service was an absolute joke and we got the sweet potato fries comped as part of the mess.
We saw it, we love the shows film here, but that is only love I have for this location.
Best tongdak in Ktown and that ain't no lie. Â
The bird is crispy, juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Â Wash it down with a pitcher of beer and you got yourself a happy dude. Â The interior inside the prince is pretty neat. Â The bar is maintained well and supposedly used for the show New Girl? Â
Cool spot in Ktown to checkout and to snack on some deep fried chicken.
nice place. nice atmosphere.
they got live performances at least when I was there.. (sunday night)
It was a woman in front of a piano with one of the those handless harmonicas.. so she was playing the piano and the harmonica at the same time.. isnt that cray?
pricey but pretty much worth it!
This place is certainly unique for atmosphere and menu items. It has a very colonial, british, however, is in the center of Koreatown. The food comes with complementary salsa and chips oddly enough. And even more oddly, they are known for their chicken.
The food is good, the drinks are cold. Sadly though.......the prices are pretty unreasonable for the ambience of what I would really call more of a tamed down dive bar.
I've had this place bookmarked for a while, so when my friends wanted to go out in Ktown I suggested The Prince. They were won over once I told them that New Girl films here, although they actually filmed a lot of stuff here (listed in Richard K.'s review). It's on the corner of 7th and Cataline, across the street from the Robert F. Kennedy School. You can probably try to find street parking but we just did valet, $2. It seems like they have a pretty good Happy Hour, 4-8PM daily, but we got there too late.
We ordered their Half & Half (Fried Chicken and Spicy Chicken). For those of you who have a peanut allergy, like me, you will need to tell the server so that he can tell the kitchen to cook without peanuts. According to their website, all chicken dishes have peanuts except for the fried chicken. They bring out complimentary chips and salsa while you wait, and then the dish is accompanied by rice paper and pickled daikon radish cubes. Those really helped with the spicy chicken since I found it to be quite spicy (but also delicious). I didn't really care that much for the fried chicken, but that could be because I only ate a little since I was still full from dinner/dessert. For drinks RF got a glass of Hite and JQ and I shared a small pitcher of pineapple soju. It was light and delicious, just what we were looking for!
Like most Korean places, there's a bell/button that you can press for service, although it would take them a while to show up. While the bathroom is clean, it also looks like it's falling apart, but I guess it's a pretty old building. The decor is interesting, they have a lot of paintings hung up and their lamps are somewhat creepy. Not the biggest fan of this place but I wouldn't mind coming back for their Happy Hour.
Dear Prince,
The cheaper you are with your customers, the cheaper they'll be with you.
On no planet is a martini considered anything other than a drink.
It is not a "double shot" so don't even think of charging me 26 dollars for one drink.
It's not that I can't, or haven't, paid premium prices for drinks, but to spring that bs on me two drinks in, is ridiculous.
Sometimes a happy customer is more valuable than a quick buck.
Hey Girl, how you doing? Who's that girl? Who's that girl? Its JESS!
I just had to come back here to show my friends who are all New Girl fans the bar that Nick works at!
So lets start out with the decor. Very swanky in here, reminds me of an old gentleman's club with the soft lighting, red leather booths, and carpet floor. They also have a nice bar area and the mirrors behind it really gives off the illusion that this place is huge.
As for the menu, it's a korean bar so most of the dishes are korean. I've tried the seafood pancake, kimchi fried rice, and fried chicken. However, I've had better korean food at other places before, so the food is just mediocre to me. Furthermore, all of the dishes are kind of pricey here. Additionally, we ordered a pitcher of Stella for $18, so everything is pretty standard here.
Overall, nice bar; however, it's not a place where you go to meet people. Think of it as a nice change of pace dinner place.
The Prince's fried chicken tasted like overpriced Kyo Chon. I couldn't find anything special about the flavor or the preparation. The "large" chicken was a cornish game hen deep fried, served with shredded cabbage and picked daikon. It felt satisfying to break through the crispy outer layers to get to the meat but then, all good fried chicken does that.
I also tried the galbi. Sad to say, the galbi here can't compare to galbi served at any Korean supermarket food court. It was cut too thick, too tough to chew and overpriced. It just didn't make sense to charge $18.
The only saving grace was that 4-8PM was happy hour. We got half price off our yogurt flavored soju.
While the food was good. Â The service was terrible. Â My friend & I had to wait an unreasonable amount of time just for the waiter to finally decide to come over & take our order. Â In fact, the place wasn't that busy and my friend's drink was unusually weak & she couldn't even taste the alcohol.
To top things off, when it came around to pay, we had to call twice to a waiter, the one that attended us first ignored us & a second waiter had to get us our check. Â Then we had to wait even further to be able to pay. Â Once again, the place wasn't that busy, I eventually just went up & paid for the food. Â The waiter seemed like a passive aggressive jerk that is nice to you in words, but rude in his action. Â
I'm willing to give this place a second chance just because I hope the waiter was an exception and not the rule, but will be a long time before I choose to return to this place.
I've been here a few times. Â My non-Korean friends loved the 20's parisian ambiance and the sort of quirkiness to the place with the odd lamps and all. Â The service is pretty good and the patrons are a mixed crowd from the young to the old and koreans to the non-koreans, it's all good in the k-town hood! Â
SOOOOOOOOOO...okay, about the food or most importantly the fried chicken, right? Â The last time I was here the fried chicken was a bit dry. Â However, the spicy marinated fried chicken was pretty good. Â I REALLLLLLLYYYYY miss Pelicana Chicken in Korean from my heydays, but I kid you not I have a friend who talks about my own mama's fried spicy and sweet marinated chicken. Â It's DA BOMB YO! Â I guess this place is the place to go for the peanut butter jelly like combo of fried chicken and beer y'all!
Such a cool place! Mostly because I'm a fan of The New Girl and the character Nick works at a bar filmed here at The Prince. I can see why so many tv shows and movies are filmed here. The decor and atmosphere has a lot of character with it's royal antique-y feel that is classy yet casual.
Although my Piña Colada was on the weak side, I was happy to see that The Prince has a vegetarian section in their menu. When I saw how HUGE the portion side was for the Jabchae (without meat), I was shocked! Glass noodles, cabbage, carrots, other veggies cooked in sesame oil is so yummy.
Valet parking was a cheap $2.
K-town may not be the most vegan-friendly place but I was surprised to leave The Prince with a full stomach.
This place is what I love about LA. Old school and historic feeling. The Prince is the location for many films and TV shows to shoot and I can see why. It makes you feel awesome just stepping down the stairs into the dining area..like a secret hang out. Â I dined here with a Korean friend who knew exactly what to do when we arrived. We were greeted with a warm welcome and directed to a proper red booth. The valet parking was only $2 and the guy was super nice, although he brought the wrong car. Haha! Anyway, we had the fried chicken, chop chae, fried potato hash brown with sugar (good!), and another chicken dish. The fried chicken was awesome! The chop chae was also very good. Bonus: Happy Hour! Cocktails and drinks 1/2 price. I had the Prince signature cocktail. It was sweet, but I liked it. Price was also reasonable!
Review Source:I learned how to spatchcock last year, so I was impressed to see that's how Prince prepares its chicken--I don't think they did that a decade ago, when I was last here. (By removing the backbone and lying the bird breast-down flat, you ensure crispy skin and meat that's not too dry.) I don't know why it had been so long. I had fond memories of the ton-ddak and kimchi dubu. They also have some specialty cow intestines, which I liked until I found out they were cow intestines.
Fun place to come, good food to eat. Â They could upgrade their beer glasses though.
it's simple really. when you feel like spicy tuna hand roll, you go to noshi sushi. when you feel like a gourmet burger, you go to father's office. when you feel like korean style rotisserie chicken --
you go to PRINCE.
The juicy meat, the crispy skin, the home made salsa~ it's all stankin good. side it with a stella~ and you're set for a relaxing weeknight. the atmosphere is also bomb~ they actually film a lot within premises~
and they have a live pianist who comes in as well (not every night).
interesting crowd~ diverse~ fun to make fun of, i mean watch.
:)
So even though I do have a legitimate address in LA, I totally consider myself an LA tourist. SF native all the way, baby. Just saying.
However, as an LA tourist, what do you do? Duh. You go to places where TV shows are filmed or where stars like to eat.
In comes the Prince.
New Girl films here. Check.
Pictures of stars eating here. Check.
Best of all, for all of those who like ja jee guy or Chinese roast chicken with those shrimp chips, the Prince's fried chicken is like a really freaking A-MAZING Korean version of it. Trust me, the skin is perfectly crisp. Meat is moist and tender. What's not to love?
So happy that Birthday Girl shared the wealth and introduced me to the Prince.
Thanks, Sami!
Delicious fried chicken and dduk bok ggi!
The dduk bok ggi had enough spice to give me a kick but not too spicy! The rice cake was chewy, and lots of vegetable which I love.
The fried chicken (korean style) was so crispy on the outside, tangy sweet but juicy in the inside. Wonderful with chopped nuts springled on top.
The picked raddish cubes that comes with it was bitter and not tasty which is a shame. It wasn't as acidic and sweet as it should be.
Please go and try !! I'll be back for more :D
This is one of the weirdest little restaurant/bars in Koreatown, and its oddness just adds to its charm.
Their hh offers really cheap beer by the pitcher. Â This place is best known for its fried chicken, which really lives up to the hype - the skin is crispy and the meat is juicy and piping hot. Â Their other Korean dishes are generally pretty good as well.
Their cocktails are not very good, so I don't recommend those, but this is not a cocktail bar, so they get a pass on the mediocre cocktails.
The decor here is really bizarre - definitely a remnant of days past. Â They often have a live piano player, and there's also a tiny dj booth right behind the entrance (I have no clue how the dj squeezes in there though).
Best KFC in America... as in Korean Fried Chicken. Tucked away in a residential neighborhood off the beaten path in Koreatown, The Prince is located on the 1st floor of a historic residential apartment building next to the Robert F. Kennedy School Complex, which used to be the Ambassador Hotel where RFK was assassinated. However, before I get into the food, I feel obligated to talk about the history of the restaurant.
Originally known as The Windsor that served French cuisine, the restaurant used to serve Hollywood folk and diplomats until it was converted into the current Korean pub known as The Prince in the 1990s. Still, due to its fabulously old-school interior that includes vintage red leather booths, wood paneling, creepy ceramic lamps, and classic wallpaper, Hollywood continues to frequent the establishment to use it as a movie and television shoot location.
List of just some of the movies/shows filmed here: Crank, Thank You for Smoking, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Mad Men, The Defenders, Criminal Minds, Chinatown, and The New Girl.
While the interior is charming, the real reason I go to the Prince is for the aforementioned KFC. I recommend getting the small-sized whole-fried chicken instead of the large chicken because I have found that the smaller bird is more flavorful and juicy because they spatchcock the bird here. BTW spatchcock is simply another word for butterflying you perv!
So, when you order the succulent chicken you get complimentary chips and salsa, Korean-style pickled daikon radish cubes in a vinegar/7-up marinade, soy-sauce/vinegar seasoned jalapeños, shredded cabbage with 1000 Island dressing, hot sauce, and rice paper wrappers. I mean, so much shit comes with just the chicken that if you order other dishes your table will be guaranteed to be overflowing!
Anyhow, in addition to the KFC, I highly recommend anything that is fried here. I heart the deep fried sweet and sour beef (ttang-soo-yook in Korean), which is a Chinese-influenced Korean dish that consists of deep fried and battered beef morsels served with a corn starchy sweet and sour sauce on the side to prevent "soggying up" the beef. Also, the shoe-string sweet potatoes and the deep fried battered squid pieces are both fucking divine.
Moreover, if you find yourself to be in the adventurous mood and are willing to try weird dishes, the Korean spicy sea snail dish served with somen-type noodles marinated with Korean red chili paste sauce is also one of my personal favorites.
Aside from the flavorful food, what is also great about The Prince is that they have an awesome Happy Hour that runs until 8 PM every day. So be a fat ass and order a pitcher or two or three, to wash all that greasy, spicy goodness down because you shouldn't be counting calories at a pub. The last time I went on February 10th they had Korean beer, Fat Tire, and Newcastle on draft... and of course they have a full bar. Although I am not sure how legit the bartenders are.
So yea, I guess the best way to describe the Prince in a nutshell is to think Musso & Franks in Hollywood where Musso & Frank has been replaced with Kim & Park. All I know is that it would suck to live in the apartments above The Prince because you'd never make it home.
* Parking is horrendous due to The Prince being located in a high-density residential zone, so you will need to valet your car for $2.
* True Story: My nephew in Korea actually thought KFC really meant Korean Fried Chicken. I mean it doesn't help that in Asia the colonel looks Asian.

Went here for a friend's birthday party. Â You can reserve the back room for free as long as your party spends some minimum amount on food and (watery) drinks. Â Not sure what it is, but it did stress the birthday girl out a little bit. Â
But I do love that this place is so old school, dark, straight out of another decade. Â Once you manage to find parking it's a great place to hang out away from the bustle of Koreatown. Â You can't really hang out front and be loud and smoke though because it's a residential area. Â But this place is really a gem in LA!
Just your average korean place with korean food and drinks. In terms of atmosphere and location, looks like a place taken from Hollywood and put in the middle of Koreatown.
Came here with two other friends and ordered three dishes: Pork cutlet, soondae bokeum, and the half chicken and half marinated chicken. The total including tip came out to be around $20 per person. Totally not worth it in my opinion.
The food was just average. Wasn't anything special. I think the food is a bit over priced in my opinion. I still like OB Bear better than The Prince. Service is decent. Nothing to complain about. The space is clean and dark. They have a bar in the middle of the restaurant and two or more TV sets.
Bathrooms are somewhat clean, but a bit dark.
You can either valet park or street park.
Probably won't be back to this place unless I want to grab a cheap drink. They have happy hour on drinks and their drinks are not even pricy to begin with. The drinks are around $8.
It's Saturday night and I'm at home with a friend watching DVDs of New Girl. We were in the mood to go out but we couldn't think of where to go this late on a Saturday (11pm or so) that wouldn't already be packed or have a long line. Then a scene in the show came on where the group was at their regular bar hangout so I said, "How 'bout we go there?"
I'd heard from someone that the show films at this bar instead of at a studio like most shows, so I always wanted to go there. Aside from its filming history (which it has a lot of) The Prince is a hidden gem tucked in a residential area (mostly apartments) of Koreatown. Parking can be kind of a pain but the bar offers valet out front. The street was dead quiet and the only people out were the valet guys. We couldn't even hear any traffic noise from Wilshire, just a block away. The entrance is two small, bright-red doors that lead down an even smaller stairwell to the bar.
The whole bar is a deep red with victorian wallpaper, old still life oil paints on the walls, and knight statues and antique lamps everywhere. Big red leather booths line the walls and the big bar is in the center. Even though we were just there for drinks, we were given a huge booth against the wall. But after a few minutes we snagged a couple spots at the bar.
It was Saturday night and any normal Hollywood bar would be blaring loud and have drunk people trying to dance everywhere. The Prince was really low key and quiet enough I could actually hear my friend speak. We were there until just before closing and after several drinks we only spent about $30. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were strong. The bar is stocked so they can probably make whatever you want.
I've been sitting on this review for a couple months now because usually I try to keep my favorite hidden gems well, hidden. The Prince is great though and deserves its credit. It's perfect for that casual bar scene in LA without the Hollywood douche bags, as I call them.
I've been back several times, and I can say it's my new favorite bar in LA!
How have I not managed to write a review for this place yet?
I was taken here originally in September on a date, where he attempted to outweird me. I was immediately enchanted. I haven't seen the dude since, but I certainly have seen The Prince MANY times since then.
Best things about it:
-The lonely cactus painting
-Ordering "sweet potato fries" and getting fries with sugar sprinkled on them. Potato fries that are very sweet. Well played, Prince. Well played.
-Hite Beer
-Pushing the little button to get service
-The strange pop radio they seem to always be playing
-The little gentleman lamps that are scattered around the place
Probably one of my favorite places in LA.
I would suggest coming to this place from 4p - 8p when alcohol is 50% off. Even most bottles are 50% off. Last time I came we ended up getting bottles at just about the $25 above the price you could get in a grocery store and if you consider that you're going out in LA, that's a pretty reasonable deal.
On top of that get their whole fried chicken... get the large. It's one of my favorite things to eat. It's not what we are quickly becoming accustomed to as KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) but it's a whole chicken that that is fried and it's amazing. Eat it with the rice paper... btw if you want kim chi as a pan chan you have to ask for it on the side.
Oh yeaaaaah!!!! I LOVE K-Town!!! It's my new obsession.
AND I LOVED this place. It's not on the main strip but rather a bit off the beaten track so you wouldn't just come across it walking or driving by. Though it's totally a Korean run old school establishment, the feel of the restaurant/bar is like being in an episode of the sopranos, a bit dark and gloomy...like a place things can go down. But, it's simply a super chill restaurant and great place to meet up with friends even if it's just for drinks. My friend told me it's a great late-night spot and they are known for their Korean fried chicken. I'm definitely going back to try their food.
Service was good, they pretty much left you alone! If you need something, ring the buzzer (all you familiar with korean establishments know what I'm talking about). Sometimes it's nice to come across a place in LA that isn't LA~ish at all.
I feel like if they wanted to be, they could totally be a speakeasy. This bar is located in koreatown but it really doesn't seem like your typical koreatown bar especially because of the unqiue decor they have. They have classical antique décor that gives off a British pub feel.
Their signature Korean Fried Chicken, also known as "tongdak," is TOP-NOTCH. I've had this particular dish at various places in koreatown and the Prince's is the BEST I've had. It juicy and perfectly crisp. I love that they give you the rice cake paper wrap, jalapeno, and hot sauce with the chicken. This is a must order when you're here.
The only other thing I've ordered here is their spicy chicken, which is also really delicious. I usually just go for their half chicken and half spicy. Once you finish, you'll regret not having just ordered two a la carte dishes.
The drinks here are very typical and they do offer pitchers! They also have a couple TV's around their main bar in the middle where they often broadcast games.
The demographic here is very mixed. I've seen non-Koreans, younger, and older people here.
Food: The fried chicken is obviously very popular for good reason. I got the small portion for about $10 and it was huge for me! If you're not a football player, I'd recommend sharing. Comes with a little slaw, jaelpenos, a sweet & sour sauce (i think) and a side of salt. I also got the kimichi rice that comes with an over easy egg on top that's super good! Over all- I'd suggest one person get the chicken and have another get a rice to share. Each are about $10. & ask for a fork (they give you plastic..) because it's impossible to eat fried chicken with chopsticks.
Drinks: Midori sour: it was so extremely weak! I could not taste the alcohol, but it was happy hour and only $4.
Atmosphere: Leather red booths, romantic and vintage decor, and low dim lighting. Very mobster like that is a great backdrop to any instagram picture.
Service: ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE X10, which is the reason for the 2 star rating. I went with a group of about 15 and it was just no good. The waitress took forever and messed up our order. Our seating was also very awkward. We were seated in the back with two square tables that were combined and then they added to round tables to make an L-shaped set up. Since most of the seating is booths- I don't recommend this restaurant for groups larger than 8 or 10.
Parking: valet for $2, or street parking.
Great place to get your ttongdak (Korean-style fried chicken) fix while feeling like you're in a mob scene on the Sopranos. The place has this old mobster feel to it with all the velvet upholstery and black and white photos and a grand piano sitting in the middle.
The ttongdak is amazing. Crispy skin with juicy meat, makes for a great late night snack, along with pickled radish, a refreshing compliment to the meal. You gotta get a pitcher of beer to round everything out (happy hour until 8p = 50% off all alcohol). And with that, you're set for a great night!
They offer valet parking, but there's usually some street parking that you can score around the area.
Came here for a birthday party and while waiting for everyone to arrive, looked to Yelp for some reviews and tips. What I've learned is the fried chicken is "slap yo mama delicious" and that Mad Men was filmed here.
Mad Men is a great show, the class and style is awesome makes me want to wear a suit, drink and smoke cigarettes (gross) on the couch... pair that 1960's theme with some slappin yo mama chicken, you can count me in!
All the food here was pretty good, fried chicken is usually good at korean drinking places, so I dunno if I'd slap my mama for... maybe I'd slap a watermelon, Â especially if its been bad, and it seems like slapping watermelons are ok and fairly common, people at the supermarket do it all the time without getting arrested or slapped back.
Now if Betty Francis, Joan Harris, Don Draper or Roger Sterling showed up I'd wouldn't hesitate to in some slappin mama action.
What you must know:
Weekdays - Happy Hour till 8pm. Â 50% off drinks. The best bang for your buck is to order a pitcher of beer, otherwise, just beware that they measure their hard liquor to the t of a shot glass.
BUT, happy hour aside, you should really go for their fried chicken. Their chicken is double deep fried. The skin is nice and crispy, and somehow the meat is still succulent and tender. Wrap that chicken in rice paper, dip it in some hot sauce, and you're good to go. Delicious.
You can find street parking in front of the school, but if that fails, valet is only 2 bucks.
I was looking for a Happy Hour spot in KTown and thanks to my fellow Yelpers I came across The Prince.
Happy Hour here is from 4-8pm (Mon-Sun) and all drinks are 50% during that time. Not a bad deal for all you lushes out there. We just did pitchers of Hite, but they've got a full bar for those who like the harder stuff.
As for the food, there are unfortunately no Happy Hour deals. I was starving however so we ordered a few bites to soak up the booze. We got the "Half & Half" fried and spicy chicken plate which was just their fried chicken next to their spicy chicken. The fried chicken was awesome and resembled a halved and flattened rotisserie chicken that's been deep fried. The skin was super crispy and the meat was really moist...yum! As for the the spicy chicken, it was just chunks of chicken stir fried in a thick and spicy sauce. The spicy chicken definitely had some kick, but in hindsight I would have just gotten the fried chicken instead. If you like Panda Express then you might like it, but I'm not a fan of bright goopy sauces and mystery meat. We also got the pork tonkatsu which was awesome and a perfect compliment to the free-flowing pitchers of Hite.
Also, the bar itself is eclectic to say the least. I really liked the red leather booths and dark decor of the place. The hunting lodge pictures and random decorations really puts it over the top for me since I like oddball places like this.
Lastly, the service was good and our booth had a service button which is always a plus (...think KBBQ). They also have valet parking which is nice for an area that sucks for parking. I was able to find something on the street, but be sure to read the signs my friends.
I give it a thumbs up overall and will be back again to get my swerve on. I do think that the food prices could be a little lower for what you get, but the Happy Hour discount helps to offset it. The Prince is definitely worth a try if you've never been and are looking for a unique spot to catch up with friends in KTown.
The food here looked absolutely delicious, but I came here for drinks and it was a horrible shit show. $12 for a thin shot of Grey Goose and $5 for red bull? They couldn't even mix the two together when I asked for a Goose & Redbull. Actually, the waiter didn't even know what Redbull was! Nor did they know what Hennessy was? Are you serious?
Come for the food, not for the drinks. It's outrageous!
