> [@Johnnylude](#): > > [QUOTE=ghost;1448407]yup yup. Actually, back in the 80’s… even up till the early 90’s… flushing was mostly Korean… but since then, the chinese have totally taken over the area > QUOTE] > > The Chinese are taking over all the burroughs. Brooklyn Chinatown is huge now… it must cover 25+ blocks. > > Speaking of Koreans, I went to a Korean bar in Midtown called Crazy About Chicken and had the best wings ever! Anyway I tried SoJu (spelling) and got pretty fucked up on a few bottles. Anyone ever try it before? Where in Brooklyn? Bensonhurst? Crazy About Chicken… that’s funny… it used to be called BonChon Chicken… pretty popular chain amongst koreans, which is a direct rip-off of the original KyoChon Chicken in Korea, which now is seen throughout places here in the states… there was about 3 or 4 locations thru out manhattan, queens and jersey, but for some reason they got rid of all of them and are now renamed to Crazy About Chicken, and it tastes different now, used to taste so much better… probably something shady going on with naming rights, tax evasion, god knows what else… shadyness runs thru korean blood 😉 Soju… ughh… bad memories from drinking flavored soju in high school… i stay away from it now… it’s mostly artificial. in korea, a bottle of soju is cheaper than a can of beer. one of our clients is the largest soju importer here in nyc, and we get free samples and get to try new products… it’s call charm soju and you can search for it online and buy it… if you’re in flushing again… there’s a liquor store on the corner of 162nd street and sanford avenue… lots of variety and very very cheap ---
