Short version: Overpriced and offers subpar Korean fried chicken. It's better to visit authentic Korean chicken places like Bonchon or chain restaurants abroad. The snow chicken was also a disappointment. Avoid this place if you're looking for a genuine Korean dining experience.
The full version: My order from this restaurant left much to be desired, particularly in terms of authenticity, value, and overall quality. Despite claiming to offer Korean fried chicken, the reality fell far short of expectations, bordering on misleading.
The first glaring issue was the exorbitant prices, which were unjustified given the meager quantity of food provided. The portion sizes were disappointingly small, leaving a lot to be desired in terms of value for money.
Moreover, the so-called "Korean fried chicken" offered at Korean town was a far cry from the authentic experience one would expect. While it may have been inspired by Korean-style chicken, it failed to deliver on the key elements that define genuine Korean fried chicken. At best, it could be described as run-of-the-mill, and at worst, bottom-of-the-barrel in terms of quality.
For those seeking a true taste of Korean fried chicken, I would strongly advise against visiting this establishment. Instead, I recommend exploring other options such as Bonchon in Phuket, where you can enjoy the genuine article. Alternatively, chain Korean fried chicken restaurants abroad, such as BBQ Chicken, offer a more authentic and satisfying experience.
Even their attempt at snow chicken fell short of the mark, as it was served with a dipping sauce rather than resembling the actual snow chicken found in Korea or better Korean chicken shops elsewhere.
Korean town fails to deliver on its promise of authentic Korean fried chicken. With exorbitant prices, lackluster quality, and a misleading menu, it is best to avoid this establishment and seek out more genuine options elsewhere.
The restaurant's name did not instill confidence in us when we ordered, and our low expectations were, essentially, met when we received our...
Read moreVery happy and thrilled to finally fulfill our Korean bingsoo/ sulbing cravings in this cool spot and it left us wanting for more. We got the injeolmi sulbing and the melon shake which were both awesome. A little bit on the pricey side but all worth it.
This place is also popular for its chicken so will surely come back to try it out as the restaurant seems packed because of the chicken.
Our only big comment is that the disinfectant smell that they use to clean the tables when guests leave is way too strong and a big turnoff when eating. They should change this as it really bothered us so much. It felt like a hospital from the...
Read moreI went here twice while in phuket to try and curb my craving for bingsu and kfc (korean fried chicken). Quite hard to find injeolmie bingsu in phuket which is my favourite. Overall was dissatisfied, both times the quality of the chicken was not good but the flavor is okay. The Injeolmie was okay, definitely had better in australia, Malaysia and indonesia. My second trip there I was told that they didn't have enough time to make my sulbing before closing as there were too many orders in the kitchen. This was very disappointing as it was the main reason I came. Overall I won't...
