Recently, Yelp, a service that provides reviews and ratings for restaurants and shops worldwide, held a Chicken Day event where customers voted to rank the best chicken restaurants.

In this vote, 'Kimchi Red,' located in Alpharetta, Georgia, received 4.5 stars and was chosen as the number one. The news of the first-place selection was reported through local newspapers and Korean community media.

Kimchi Red was founded a year ago by Lee Won-woo (54), who was born in Mapo, Seoul, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 15.

The restaurant sells kimchi chicken, spicy Jeonju chicken, tteokbokki, kimchi jjigae, galbi, japchae, and more, and has previously been recognized as 'Best Asian Food,' 'Best Lunch Spot,' and 'Best Wings.'

In an interview with Yonhap News, CEO Lee said the secret to being selected first was "cooking with good ingredients imported from Korea and developing our own sauce mixed with kimchi and whole chicken."

He added, "Above all, I think the customers' reviews saying 'delicious' helped with the selection," and "It was possible because of the employees who work like family."

CEO Lee plans to open the second branch of Kimchi Red soon in Suwanee, near Alpharetta.
