The Best Places For Korean Fried Chicken In Melbourne
While Melbourne is home to many great Korean restaurants, it’s tough to pass up the many places serving Korea’s take on crispy fried chicken. Here’s our guide to the best restaurants in Melbourne for enjoying some Korean fried chicken.
Kass Kass
While their menu might seem similar to a typical Korean restaurant, Kass Kass is undoubtedly known for their Korean Fried Chicken. With a simple choice between four flavors of chicken, Kass Kass is a great introduction to those who want to expand their tastes beyond KFC and the gigantic slabs of Hot Star. Open late and with a great selection of drinks, Kass Kass is the place to go to enjoy a platter of fried chicken, a jug of beer, and a bottle of soju with your friends. If you’re too lazy to leave home, they offer deliveries and pickups online or over the phone.

Recently opened in St. Kilda, Gami Chicken simplifies ordering chicken to a two-step system; first choose the type of chicken, and then the type of sauce.
