"Best Korean Chicken!! Who knew you could get such fantastic Korean chicken in Ballarat??
We love their burritos too, but the stand out is the chicken. Super crunchy and not oily! We always have to spicy sauce with it. Our personal favourite.
There are tables to dine in. Staff lovely & friendly.
Highly recommend!!"

"The best place to enjoy lunch or dinner! The food quality is always top-notch, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The dumplings were absolutely amazing, and the quesadilla was cheesy, flavorful, and just right. Every dish was prepared with care, making the whole experience perfect."

The prices were also very reasonable. This is an absolute must-visit when you’re in Ballarat. The Korean owner was also incredibly friendly and kind. We’ll definitely be back next time."
