Absolutely amazing fried chicken and ttokboki. Had this place on my list of ones to try for ages and finally tried it before taking in a show. Im not going to lie reader, this place can be expensive. For the chicken combo platter i bought along with a 500ml handle of beer i paid 64 dollars. Which is pretty insane for one person to spend on a chicken meal. However, i was not disappointed and would still say it was worth, even if 1 person would struggle to finish it all. The portion sizes were absolutely massive, the chicken was crisp, and juicy, and the chips and ttokkbokki are the perfect complement. It was probably some of the best fried chicken ive ever had. The place was relatively empty when i went in so seating was not an issue at all. The staff were warm and friendly and the time between takong my order and receiving my food was roughly 15 mins. So fast and friendly service is definitely a thing here. I would recommend going with a group of people to make it more worth the price, but i will probably order waaaay less food next time im back. The chicken from this place is a must try.

Updating my review in December 2022 because this has become one of my favourite places! The chicken texture is always on point, super crispy and easy to bite. My favourite is still the rose chicken, the taste is absolutely addictive. I would recommend trying the rose chicken pasta especially which is on their lunch menu! I’ll admit the first time I tried it I didn’t expect much but they prepare the pasta perfectly. I love the lunch menu options - $15 for a filling meal and they bring it out super quick, perfect if you work or live nearby. —- Original review below, original rating: 4/5 We got the Rose Chicken (medium size) and it was my first time trying rose sauce! It’s a really interesting creamy spicy sauce and I really liked it. The chicken was really crispy and nice. We got free chips as a topping since they were having a promotion. In total it was $29 due to the promotion. I’m not sure if I would say it’s my favourite chicken restaurant (lots of competition) but definitely a solid addition. I noticed they have some flavours that other places don’t offer such as the rose chicken and I also saw a wasabi flavour on their special menu. Definitely worth a try! I saw on their Instagram that they have a student discount at lunch so maybe a good place for students to check out!

We were on holidays and looking for a place to have lunch in the middle of the busy CBD and stumbled across this place. After a stressful search for a place to eat, we found a hidden place that wasn't overcrowded with business people. This Korean place that specialised in fried chicken. We got their lunch meals, which were a decent size. Their service was quick and so was the food. The chicken curry was delicious and creamy and their chicken wasn't too greasy, which was nice. Everything else tasted pretty good too. Great place to stop for a no-fuss lunch. They also have clean toilets in the back of the shop, which is great when you've got a baby or toddler with you.
