One of my (ostensibly innumerable) guilty pleasures is KFC \u2013 Korean Fried Chicken, that is, and not something else bearing the same initialism. Hey, IYKYK. I\u2019ve visited K-Town (roughly centered on 32nd St between Madison Ave and Broadway) countless times, primarily because I crave the cuisine but also because I worked near there a lifetime ago so I\u2019m certainly familiar with the fare.<\/p>\n

But on a recent afternoon, I was in Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown getting my ducks in a row in anticipation of the opening of ethnojunket season. It was lunchtime (always a calorific activity there) and I spotted TADA \u2013 \u201cKorean Fried Chicken and More\u201d on Bayard Street so I felt compelled to check it out.<\/p>\n

Just curious: have any of you tried TADA? Any fanfares?
