The Carondelet neighborhood can now add Chicken Seven, a new Korean spot, to its local restaurant offerings. Located at 6312 S. Grand Blvd, Chicken Seven specializes in making crispy chicken and flavoring it with one of their seven signature sauces. Co-owners and husband and wife team, Erica Park and Sean Lee, opened Chicken Seven's doors July 23, just two months after arriving in St. Louis from San Antonio, Texas, where Lee worked as a sushi chef.
Currently, Chicken Seven's 1800-square feet space is not doing dine-in service, but the duo plans to have four tables on the outside patio available for dine-in early this fall. For now, Chicken Seven offers delivery through Door Dash and carry-out.
As far as the restaurant's current menu, Chicken Seven's specialty is its crispy chicken. “First, we marinate the chicken overnight in ten different spices," Park said. "Korean fried chicken is cooked for a longer time, so the chicken comes out crispy and you can even set it out overnight, and it’ll still be crispy the next day.” Another key to the crisp factor, Park explained, is making the coating on the chicken thin before frying and then once it’s out of the fryer brushing the sauce on top instead of soaking or dunking it.
The couple learned several techniques from a friend who owns a Korean cuisine franchise. Their friends' influence translated into their seven namesake sauces: original fire, soy garlic, spicy soy garlic, yum yum, fresh pepper garlic, honey garlic and buffalo. “The yum yum, soy garlic and honey garlic sauces we make from scratch," Park said. "We are very proud of these three sauces.”
On the beverage side, Chicken Seven offers sparkling ice tea in peach or lemon. Once Chicken Seven opens for dine-in service, Park and Lee plan to also serve draft beer, including one Korean beer and cocktails made with soju – a distilled grain spirit.
Eventually, Chicken Seven plans to expand their menu depending on the reception from the neighborhood. “We are going to add spicy chicken on a skillet; we are going to add more beer. We are just testing out all of these munchies and trying to see what this neighborhood likes the most,” said Park. Once the dining room is open, the restaurant will play Billboard and Korean music videos on a mounted TV screen.
Chicken Seven is open Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., 4 to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 to 8 p.m. Find Chicken Seven at its website and Instagram.
