A long time ago, before that famous Korean drama made everyone in Hong Kong queue for hours for Korean fried chicken and beer, my friends and I liked to go to Chicken Hof and Soju in Tsim Sha Tsui. It was always quiet, with Koreans eating and drinking and the latest Kpop playing. Then, the famous Korean drama took Hong Kong by storm and we could never return due to the long wait time of at least 2 hours. Sad, we tried other Korean fried chicken places with great sadness. It was either dry or fla
I saw this new opening listed on Openrice and told boyfriend. We wondered where it was and planned a visit some day.
Then, one Sunday afternoon, we planned to eat dumplings for lunch so walked in that direction and found that the place was so close to Causeway Bay! We saw it was open and went in.
Decor looked exactly the same as the one in Tsim Sha Tsui. Orange walls. Private booths. Kpop playing on tv screens. The menu is mainly food good to have with beer or soju. None of the usual Korean dishes. But that's ok as this place is for late night drinking and fried chicken!
We were given complimentary salad and pickled daikon. Salad lettuce was crunchy. Pickled daikon was tart and crunchy.
They have various chicken flavors. We ordered our favorite. Spring onion. A whole mountain of shredded spring onion was layered on a whole fried chicken. Chicken was crispy, yet moist. Was a touch spicy. Spring onions were lightly seasoned. It was drizzled with a sweet sauce. The chicken was still warm throughout the meal. The quality was exactly like their original place in Tsim Sha Tsui!
They are currently still getting their liquor licence. The waiter ashamedly apologized for that. But he said we can bring our own booze. And boyfriend trotted off to buy himself a beer.
Great that this fantastic Korean fried chicken place is so close to my home. If they do takeout, I can buy one home and a group of us can pig out! Hopefully, it won't be long queues like Tsim Sha Tsui.
