Had dinner here on a Saturday night. There was a line to get in and they don’t take bookings. The menu is all about the fried chicken, not many other options available. Food was good but service was pretty damn poor. Some of the staff were just plain rude.

We came on a weekday and were greeted by friendly staff. We ordered the Double Combo (for 2 people) with 1 jug of beer. We chose the boneless chicken in sweet chilli sauce and hot & spicy. We paid a bit extra to choose a different beer. The chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked. The basket was loaded with fries, but we still asked for more. Loved the experience and will definitely come back again for more fried chicken, but not on the weekend for sure as it gets crazy packed!

Pretty decent! The chicken was crunchy and juicy. The prawn dumpling and mozzarella cheese sticks were also solid 👌🏼 I liked that they give the option if you want the sauce to be pour on the chicken directly or you want it as a dip. But the coleslaw tho 😩 so much ketchup on it, it’d be a lot better if the dressing wasn’t ketchup.

Delicious Korean food! The menu has a great range of reasonably priced food. There are some cheaper options which are still filling ($12.80-15.80) and some more expensive options ($18+) for yourself or to share. I had the chicken with egg and mayo on rice for $15.80. It was delicious and filling. Service is good. A Korean grape juice cost $3 for a very small can. I’ve been here twice before and will definitely be back again.

Had friendly staff and I loved the atmosphere, was very nice and cozy. The chicken was well cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy inside! The only flavour I did not enjoy was the 양념 치긴. It was sickly sweet and 0 chilli. I have had very nice sweet chilli fried chicken from other places but the seasoning here was very very thick, it had a super sticky tacky coating and it was very difficult to get down. Get sweet chilli chicken if you like candy chicken though, just not my cup of tea.

First time trying Korean fried chicken. It's crisper with less batter than traditional southern fried chicken that we are used to. I ordered the spicy, which has a hint of sweetness but not very hot. Closer to thai sweet chili than say, buffalo style. But it does go well with a light Korean lager as their name suggests. Another attraction is the robotic short order cook. There goes someone's after school job.

Took our family of five for an early dinner, which was good as we got a booth in the basement before it got busy around 6pm. When we walked out there was a line out front. Food was tasty, but portions felt like they were 15% too small for what you pay and compared to other Korean places. We ordered the Beef Bulgogi for the kids, Kimchi Spam Fried Rice and Stone Bimbimbap. In the end we enjoyed our experience. We should come back to try the fried chicken.
