CINCINNATI (Cincinnati Business Courier) - Cincinnati's first restaurant dedicated to the Korean take on fried chicken has set the opening for its Walnut Hills brick-and-mortar and unveiled its branding after operating for months as a "yet to be named" pop-up.

Decibel Korean Fried Chicken, which had been operating out of the Kroger 1010 On the Rhine food hall as the "Yet to be named Korean fried chicken pop-up" for months, is shooting to open its doors next to Esoteric Brewing at 924 E. McMillan Ave. in Walnut Hills.
