I came with a few friends and we were seated after just a few minutes of waiting. The first thing that caught my attention was the contemporary decor and good-vibes of the restaurant. We received a testing menu to order from and we immediately agreed to order garlic parmesan wings, soy garlic wings, a few appetizers and beers. The fries and appetizers were great but let's get to the star of the show, the wings. The garlic parm and soy garlic wings were some of the best wings I've ever had. The crispness and the amount of batter were perfect. I watch what I eat for most of the week so when ever I allow myself to enjoy food, I have to be very choosy about what is "worth it". This definitely fits that criteria - what's better than perfectly crisped fried chicken wings and ice cold beer? The wings are made fresh from scratch everyday and you can definitely taste it.
Service was good for a soft opening event but I expect that things will improve by the time the restaurant officially opens after some kinks have been worked out.
All in all, Cross Street Chicken & Beer is what Convoy St. has been missing and I can't wait it officially opens.
TL;DR Best wings in San Diego no contest. Nowhere even comes close to how good these are.
My wife and I stopped here yesterday a few minutes after they opened. After a short 10 minute wait we were seated on the side of the patio facing convoy. Overall appearance and ambiance of Cross Street is great. It's very open and airy and a great place for a casual night out.
We ordered :
1 Cheese Corn
Korean Style wings (6)
Thai Chili Wings (6)
Kimchi Friend Rice (Ordered after seeing someone nearby order it)
All food is made fresh, but even with a full restaurant we only waited maybe 8 minutes for our corn and 15 for the wings. Everything was very hot and fresh from the kitchen and looked amazing.
The chicken was amazing. Crunchy, crispy, sticky, sweet, hot and juicy. The sauce on the Thai Chili a spicier and house-made sweet chili sauce. The Korean wings were covered in a sweet gochujang sauce and were my favorite of the two. The cheese corn is good, though I wasn't blown away by it. The kimchi fried rice was the stronger of the 2 appetizers, though I would consider it a meal since they give so much of it.
If you can get there right when they open (or don't mind waiting) Cross Street Chicken and Beer is one of the best new casual dining places on Convoy.
Cross Street is a must visit for every San Diego trip. It is located on the busy Convoy Street in a tiny plaza with little to no parking. Usually I opt for street parking to save the hassle of getting out of the lot. I came on Saturday night and surprisingly didn't have to wait. There were plenty of tables at the time. The workers were fast and attentive.
Soju bombs are only served during their happy hour.
Honestly this is is one of the cheaper places in Convoy (around $12-$15 for a meal). If you go here, YOU MUST GET THE BULDAK!!! Nowhere else serves it like them. I wished they would add more cheese though haha. But the chicken is amazing and just the right amount of spicy level. Their chicken sandwich was very meh, I would go with the chicken and waffles instead.
I can to Cross Street with my brother for lunch on a Saturday. I see this place all the time as a frequent FedEx and Bing Haus customer. We were pleasantly surprised by our food here—the chicken tenders were really well-breaded and perfectly fried and seasoned. The chicken was juicy and the sauces were really flavorful. The chipotle slaw was composed well and had a good balance of mayonnaise and chipotle so it wasn’t soggy or super spicy. They’ve also got a fairly large beer list and some interesting looking soju cocktails.
Went here for a lazy Saturday lunch. It was still fairly busy but not in a bad way - just enough hustle and bustle to feel a sense of community but not enough to have to wait, be overwhelmed or have the service be affected.
I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was crunchy and had some Nashville hot spice powder in places. The Belgian waffle was the type to already have a sugar layer over it, which I wish I knew before pouring syrup over it. It ended up a bit too sweet for my taste.
My wife had the chicken fried rice, which turned out to be really good! Small pieces of fried chicken on the side were delectable and the fried rice with an egg overtop tasted as good as it looked.
The soju drinks were pretty good as well, refreshing but with an alcohol that can creep up on you.
We loved how open and well lit the restaurant felt, even on an overcast day. I wouldn't recommend this place for an intimate date, but if you're with a crowd or want to people/car watch, it's perfect.
Delicious chicken and loved the kimchi fried rice. I was really happy they were able to remove the spam from it because I do not eat pork but still got to enjoy it.
Korean double fried chicken is tough market in terms of competition! Rounding up to 5 stars because it's just so good and the overall vibe is amazing. I've been to this location quite a few times and 50% of the time the chicken is perfect, crispy the other 50% of the time it is still beyond belief delicious, but just not as delicious as I know it can be. Overall so so so good and would recommend.
I love the cocktails as well
Love this place. I had the Seoul sauce. Great blend of spice and flavors. The fried kimchi rice was also great. The fried chicken and waffles were well done. Crispy chicken and fluffy waffles. We will be back!
Chicken got the best crunch in san diego, it comes with some heat and a variety of flavors. The atmosphere was awesome, great art and whoever was on aux was Killin it, they even played the demon slayer theme song. Looks like they wear some cool shirts/ uniforms, kinda want one! Should play some anime on the TV's, I'll be coming back like yesterday. The chicken sandwich was more chicken than sandwich and no one could be mad about that lol
The food is SO SO GOOD. My partner and I split their Seoul spicy wings and soy garlic wings. Their Seoul spicy wings are mouthwatering, flavorful, and so crispy. My mouth is watering just typing this because I'm remembering the wings. Their corn poppers are also SO good. I also tried their pride month shots and they were very tasty. I didn't have a single thing that tasted bad. Everything was flavorful and mouth watering. Their customer service was also good and everyone was very nice. Overall amazing experience.
Good fried chicken. Their spicy gochujang sauce was the closest to spicy korean fried chicken sauce that i’ve had thus far. Service was awesome. The girl who helped us as well as the that one shredded dude were really nice. Beer was good too.
Whenever we have out of town guests, we either recommend or take them here. It’s one of our top two Korean fried chicken places.
It’s happy hour from 3-7pm. We love the wings here because they are large, flavorful, and lightly breaded. We got here at 5 but starting at 6, there was a wait. They have a Yelp tablet to put yourself on the list and also check the app when you are near if you can put yourself on.
-Spicy corn cheese - melted cheese over the corn with jalapeño slices
-Cajun tots - basically breakfast tots with sprinkled Cajun spice
-Crispy chicken skin - I did not have any but the others loved how crispy it was.
Make sure you ask for more spicy mayo sauce to dip.
-OG - a classic dry rub that has a sweet taste and Cajun spice
-Soy garlic - the best one
-Seoul spicy - has a kick that made my lips tingle
Parking in this plaza is absolutely horrendous. You would be lucky if you found one. Otherwise street parking along Wienerschnitzel on Armour St.
There’s also a covered outdoor patio that gets packed in the summer.
