Customer Service When I walked in, it was empty, which makes me surprised because this place has better tasting wings than BWWs and other places. I was greeted but I feel some disconnect with the guy who’s at the counter. Kind but disconnected.
Taste We ordered the honey Butter Crispy, Volcano (haven’t tried), and the Pepper Crispy wings with a Galbi Bowl (haven’t tried)
The galbi flavor we tried the other time was good but was missing a more tangy or deeper umami flavor, it tasted like a generic teriyaki sauce. The Pepper Crispy is the best flavor we have tried so far, it’s got a crunchiness to it and the pepper flavor is subtle but there. The honey Butter was also good, almost like a garlic butter flavor but with a spot of sweet, the oven roasted crispiness is the best part that makes the flavors pop. The sweet and spicy wings were good, nothing crazy but great sauce coverage.
All in all, like I said, much better than most wing places that I have eaten from. Places like jack in the box, wing stop, BWWs, and other sit down restaurants. I took the food to go and after a 15-20 minute drive, the wings were still hot and crunchy.
Quality The wings are a great size, the sauce covered the entire chicken and it didn’t feel like I had a dry chicken in every bite. Moist and crispy, quality from the oven roasted technique.
Price The price is up there but the size of the wings, the sauce on the wings has great coverage and isn’t overwhelming. I am willing to spend this amount if it stays consistent and tries more on the galbi flavor.
Great place,...

KFC = Korean Fried Chicken. Goodne Chicken bangs out KORC = Korean Oven Roasted Chicken.
Occupying the former home of Bangin' Buns (and Cauldron Ice Cream, prior to that), Goobne Chicken has opened up with much fanfare, being featured on Netflix's Business Proposal KDrama. Oven roasting chicken provides healthier, lighter fare for those so inclined.
Lunch Specials are either Goobne's Galbi Rice Bowl or Volcano Rice Bowl/$10.99
Volcano Rice Bowl- A generous amount of food, a sauce a bit too sweet for my preference, Goobne's Volcano Rice Bowl had a fair amount of heat to it. The diced chicken was tender, and the rice proved quite filling. A great deal.
Service was good. Minimal wait for the food to be ready. Ample seating inside the restaurant. Goobne is located next to 7 Leaves Cafe. Parking can be difficult during peak hours.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Goobne! Korean fried chicken is great, don't get me wrong, but it's great to have a healthier option, without sacrificing flavor. I'm anticipating coming back to order wings. The difficult part being which flavors to choose....
Read moreK Drama Fans! This is the restaurant that is featured in Business Proposal on Netflix! Can you believe it! It’s an actual restaurant!
Goobne Chicken is the latest Korean Chicken restaurant that doesn’t deep fry but powerfully oven roasts their chicken and even their waffle fries for healthier option. I know what you are thinking, how is the taste and texture? AMAZING! I love the glazes to all of their chicken sauce options from spicy to sweet to cheesy. The texture is nicely coated and juicy on the inside.
First time there and out with friends or family? Order everything UFO! I am NOT JOKING!
UFO CHICKEN: Comes with 16 Chicken Wings, pick 2 flavors and with zingy spicy Topokki in the center.
UFO Fried Rice: Kimchi or Galbi Sauce Fried Rice on a sizzling hot plate where the egg is cooked table side. Such a fun thing to order.
I can’t believe their waffle fries are oven baked and so crispy!!!
During lunch time they have an amazing $10.99 lunch bowl special that I need to check out next time.
Service is great and love how spacious the restaurant is . Worth...
