Started in a kitchen, built by word of mouth
Chicken Bee has been making authentic Korean fried chicken the right way — double-fried, sauced to order, no shortcuts — since day one in Charlotte's Mountain Island neighborhood.
Chicken Bee | Our Story
The Mountain Island beginning
A family launched Chicken Bee in Charlotte's Mountain Island with one promise: food made healthy, delicious, and very special. No grand opening — just great chicken and neighbors telling neighbors.
The double-fry difference
Every order is fried twice — building a shell that shatters on the first bite while keeping the inside juicy. The four signature sauces are made fresh daily from real ingredients, never out of a bottle.
A family behind every counter
The owners have been hands-on in the kitchen and at the register since day one. Regulars greet staff by name — warmth no franchise playbook can manufacture.
Beyond the bird
Tteokbokki, beef, ramen, spicy chicken, and spicy port bulgogi — all made with the same care as the chicken. Whether you're here for a full Korean feast or a half-and-half order of wings, it's worth the wait.
