Updated Edit 2years later 15/04/25 Quality of the food can be a hit and miss lately. Feel as tho it's so much more expensive very sad to see 3 items could easily cost $90 and you would expect the taste to reflect that but the last few times it has not. I understand we can have bad days but when your charge $80-$90 for a kg of chicken $22 for tteokbokki and $5 for mini corn dogs expect to have upset customers when it doesn't taste like it usually does.

Apologies if this offends you and I'm sure you are trying your best but it is our customer feedback and it's took me three visits with similar experiences to write this feedback.

2023-This place is hands down our favourite food in town!! Everything is delicious! Can’t even rave about it enough. VERY...

Came in here on Wednesday night, the young lady who looked after us was awesome! She explained the menu well and went above and beyond with her service. Chicken was amazing, love that they included the crispy extra skin bits too - we had the $43 trio platter which comes with slaw and condiments - 2 of us couldn't finish it so, we took the leftovers home, as couldn't bare leaving such yummy food behind. The tables were full and they had a few takeout orders while we were there too; I was very impressed with how fast we got our food. Currently they not serving alcohol, would love to be able to enjoy with a drink, but, either way will...

Delicious authentic Korean fried chicken. Simple. Go eat there! We don't usually like boneless because it's just drier, but OMG these are a must! Going to miss it when we get back to the states. And let's not forget about the tteokboki-- 6/10 spicy level with the perfect chew and ample sauce! Thank you~ Would've loved a hard boiled egg or the option of ramen but guess it's not the style here. Please add it to the menu? :) Anyway we cleared the plates in less than 30 min hahah with the beers Will def be back and special thanks to the crew who helped us out while we were stranded without a taxi in sight....

What a fantastic place to have in Hastings. The chicken was so good - nice and juicy, full of flavour and the sweet chilli sauce was perfect with more than enough for all the chicken. The boneless wings were so good and the coating kept the good crispy texture all the way home and until the last bite. Chips were the same, good crunch with soft middle, didn't taste of oil, well seasoned and the tomato sauce was so tasty. The service was great too, very friendly and warned early on there would be a wait of 20 minutes. This food is well worth that wait, and it wasn't anywhere near that long. Absolutely recommended.

Ok so opened yesterday. Spelling mistakes on menu but that happens. Ordered original cranky chicken which was crunchy but ok. Got charged wrong price (slightly cheaper than my friend) but she got a bigger portion though we ordered the same thing she got the garlic soy but actually was chilli... Which tasted nicer in my opinion. Menu a bit lacking but for the chicken and chips with the 'salad' I thought was pretty expensive... Won't be goin back in a hurry better chicken for price at Mamacita's Overall a bit disappointed
