The Karaage Fried Chicken spot has retained a distinct familiarity with its past as a former KFC, while embracing a more modern, Japanese-inspired vibe. The entrance still carries the classic glass doors, but they've been updated with frosted patterns of kanji and artful chicken designs. The original KFC red-and-white color scheme has given way to a softer palette of earthy tones---muted browns, slate grays, and warm yellows, creating a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere.
Inside, the layout is mostly unchanged. The counter where orders are taken and food is served still runs along the far side, but it's been redone with polished wood and black granite, lending it a more rustic yet contemporary look. Behind the counter, a row of gleaming stainless steel fryers hums with activity, where the scent of freshly fried karaage wafts through the air, mixing with subtle notes of soy, garlic, and ginger. The seating area, formerly a grid of plastic booths and cold tiles, now features minimalist wooden tables with sleek black chairs. Low-hanging pendant lights with soft, amber hues cast a warm glow over diners. In one corner, there's a communal table styled after a traditional Japanese izakaya setup, complete with tatami mat accents and a few decorative sake bottles for flair. The walls are adorned with a mix of playful and nostalgic touches---vintage Japanese posters of animated chicken mascots, hand-painted murals of street food scenes, and framed photos of perfectly golden-brown karaage being served in bustling food stalls. The floors, once a bland linoleum, are now a dark wood laminate, complementing the cozy ambiance. A large chalkboard menu is mounted on the wall behind the counter, with daily specials and hand-drawn illustrations of side dishes like onigiri, pickled vegetables, and miso soup. The drinks station that once offered the standard soda machine now features a selection of Japanese teas, matcha lattes, and imported soft drinks alongside the usual cola options. Takeout is still served in the red and white boxes and buckets, leftover from it's days as a fast-food giant. |
