Hongdae Mukbang — Restaurant in Kyoto

If you're craving next-level fried chicken, this place absolutely delivers. We went for the UFO Chicken—a fun, flavorful experience that totally lives up to the hype.

Four varieties of crispy Korean fried chicken were arranged in a “flying saucer” shape around a built-in hot plate. In the center? A bubbling pot of melty cheese fondue. Once the heat kicked in, the cheese turned into gooey, golden perfection—ideal for dipping each crunchy bite. We got the larger size and this was too much for 2 people, as the pieces were a lot bigger than expected.

It was an honest mistake, but almost fatal.

Hope they would improve the system somehow to avoid these kind of mistakes. Other customers might not be...

Wished there were...
