I feel like the Korean chicken needs to improve in flavor and quality, and the fries need improvement; they feel a bit greasy. I felt like it wasn't good enough for the price. And the atmosphere of the place is a bit warm.

OPPA is unfiltered Korean cuisine. Intense flavors, an open kitchen, and an authentic street-side atmosphere. Here, the food is delicious, unadorned, just the way it should be.
