From the moment you walk into Hahaha Chicken, you know you are in for something special. The comforting aroma of sizzling meat, sweet and savory sauces, and freshly fried goodness hits you instantly, and before you have even looked at the menu, you are already hungry. And speaking of the menu, it is packed with so many tempting options that deciding what to order is almost as exciting as eating it.
Let’s start with the chicken, the star of the show. Whether you are going for the Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Burger, or the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, each bite is a perfect combination of crisp, golden brown breading and juicy, tender meat. The regular chicken sandwich is already a dream, juicy chicken, perfectly seasoned, with a crunch that sings when you bite into it, but if you are a spice lover, the spicy version is a must. The heat is bold but balanced, pairing beautifully with the chicken’s natural savoriness. Pair it with their French Fries, golden, crisp, and perfectly salted, and you have the kind of meal that keeps you thinking about your next visit before you have even finished the first bite.
But Hahaha Chicken is not just about sandwiches. Their Korean K-Food section is packed with flavor. The Beef Bulgogi is tender, marinated to perfection, and bursting with the deep umami sweetness you expect from authentic Korean barbecue. The Spicy Pork Bulgogi brings a bolder kick of heat, perfect for those who love a bit of adventure in their meals. Chicken Teriyaki here is not your average teriyaki, the glaze is rich and balanced, coating each juicy bite in a sheen of flavor. Chicken Katsu is another winner, with its crunchy panko crust giving way to moist chicken inside, served in generous portions that are perfect for sharing or not sharing at all.
If you are in the mood for comfort food with a twist, the DukkBokki is an absolute must try. These chewy rice cakes are bathed in a spicy sweet sauce that is as addictive as it is satisfying. You can add cheese or even ramen noodles to make it even more indulgent. And do not overlook the Kimchi Chicken Quesadilla, a creative fusion dish that somehow manages to be hearty, cheesy, tangy, and crispy all at once.
The sides deserve their own spotlight. The Fried Mandu, Korean dumplings, are crisp on the outside and filled with savory perfection on the inside. The Kimchi here is fresh and vibrant, with just the right balance of tang, spice, and crunch to cleanse your palate between bites of richer dishes. Even the White Rice, soft, fluffy, and perfectly cooked, feels like it is made with care.
Now, while the food is enough to make anyone fall in love with this place, the service takes it to another level, and that is where Wesley comes in. From the moment I walked in, Wesley was at the front with the biggest, warmest smile. He is not just polite and attentive, he radiates genuine kindness and energy that instantly makes you feel welcome. There is something rare about someone who can turn a quick hello into a moment that brightens your whole day. Wesley has that gift. He remembers faces, checks in with customers, and carries himself with a mix of professionalism and friendliness that is honestly inspiring. And yes, he is also incredibly handsome, which certainly does not hurt. His presence at the front makes the whole restaurant feel warmer and more inviting.
The vibe here is casual yet vibrant, perfect for a quick lunch, a laid back dinner, or grabbing takeout to enjoy at home. Prices are fair for the generous portions and quality, and the food comes out hot and fresh every time. Whether you are a longtime fan of Korean flavors or you are just trying this cuisine for the first time, Hahaha Chicken makes it easy to fall in love.
Hahaha Chicken is more than just a place to eat. It is a place you will find yourself recommending to friends over and over. Come for the chicken, stay for the smile at the door, and leave already planning your next visit. Five stars...

When one of my colleagues tipped me off about Hahaha Chicken, I couldn’t resist clucking my way over to try it. As someone who’s always on the hunt for the next great chicken spot, I was excited to see if this place is better than fried chicken joints in Boston.
First off, the value was amazing. Compared to other Korean chicken spots in Boston, these wings felt like a steal. No skimping on size here, and the sauces were customizable. I went for the 20-wing deal with soy garlic (my usual go-to) and the signature hahaha sauce.
The soy garlic, while lightly glazed as requested, was a tad sweeter than I’m used to and lacked the punchy garlic kick I crave. It wasn’t bad, just a little offbeat. Hahaha wings were slightly better (very similar to typical Korean spicy sauce but without the heat).
It is a takeout-only spot, so my 30-minute drive home did leave the wings slightly soggy, but even then, they were good. Overall, a solid pick given the price...
Read moreI didn't have a great experience during my visit here which was unfortunate as I was looking forward to it and made my way all out over to downtown Woburn for it.
The wait was definitely on the long side when there wasn't anyone ahead of me, I'm assuming most orders are mobile or call aheads and they don't really give priority for in-person orders which really is a shame. I waited maybe about 20-25 min for my order and while they're definitely freshly made I wasn't too impressed with it. The chicken is definitely on the plus side but I thought it lacked seasoning but I suppose that's why they charge sauce extra otherwise it tastes kinda bland.
The chicken teriyaki had too much sauce and too little rice but it was a good idea to save it and I cooked extra noodles at home to make the perfect left over meal. Still, given the wait and price I really was let down of this establishment. It's most likely I won't be returning but if I do would definitely order ahead and sticking to the...
