A Must-Visit Spot for Korean Comfort Food: CHEEMC Korean Fried Chicken & Beer

Looking for a flavour-packed, crispy, and soul-warming Korean dining experience? CHEEMC Korean Fried Chicken & Beer is a hidden gem that delivers on all fronts. From insanely crispy fried chicken to spicy, umami-rich stews, this spot is perfect for foodies who crave authentic Korean comfort food with a modern twist.

Drinks: • Aloe Vera Punch – A refreshing and soothing drink, packed with aloe bits that add a fun texture. A great palate cleanser between bites!

Starters: • Octopus Dough Balls (Takoyaki-style) – These crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside dough balls are packed with tender octopus pieces, topped with bonito flakes that dance from the heat. The rich umami flavour makes them irresistible. • Chicken Fried Dumplings – Lightly golden brown with a satisfying crunch, these dumplings have a juicy, flavourful filling inside. Paired with a tangy dipping sauce, they’re the perfect way to start the meal.

Mains: • Honey Butter Fried Chicken – Hands down, one of the best Korean fried chicken dishes in town! The batter is ultra-crispy, and the honey butter glaze gives it the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savoury. Every bite is crunchy, sticky, and addictive—exactly what you’d expect from high-quality Korean fried chicken. • Budae Jjigae (Korean Army Stew) – If you love spicy, hearty stews, this dish will blow your mind. A bubbling hot kimchi-based broth filled with: • Spam & Sausage (classic army stew flavours) • Tofu, Bean Sprouts, and White Mushrooms (perfect for soaking up the broth) • Noodles and Rice (because one carb isn’t enough!) Every spoonful warms your soul, making it the perfect comfort food on a chilly day.

CHEEMC isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a flavour experience. Whether you’re here for crispy fried chicken, spicy stews, or indulgent starters, every dish is made with love and authenticity. If you’re a Korean food lover (or even if you’re new to it), this is a spot you can’t miss.

Here’s a review:

I had an amazing experience at CheeMC in Elephant and Castle! The spicy Korean fried chicken (boneless) was absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly spiced to pack a punch without being overwhelming. Each bite was full of flavor, and the boneless option made it so easy to enjoy.

The pairing with their green grape soda was genius. The drink was refreshing, sweet, and had just the right amount of fizz to balance out the heat of the chicken. It felt like a perfect combo and elevated the whole meal.

A special shoutout to our server, Soyi-Jin, who was fantastic! She was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations, ensuring our experience was top-notch. Her warm demeanor added a personal touch to the evening.

If you’re in the area and craving some incredible Korean fried chicken, CheeMC is a must-visit spot. Highly...
