Chick-in - CBD

After a long day of class, I went with the uni squad to Chick-in near Southern Cross Station. We were too excited that we completely over ordered. Thank-god they forgot our order of their Signature Kimchi Fries ($17). Between the 5 of us we ordered 2 Whole Signature Fried Chickens ($32ea) and 2 Chick-In Plates which consisted of Gang Jung, pork Bulgogi, Dumpling Salad, Kimchi, Rice and Miso Soup ($15ea). A.B got the Chicken Salad ($16).

Whole Chicken (for 2)

The fried chicken was hands down the best chicken I've ever had out of all the Korean Fried Chicken joints in Melbourne. It's a big call but it was just so succulent and tender as the juices were literally dripping with every bite. I didn't even mind that the chicken wasn't coated in sauce because I got to enjoy the chicken on its own. The coleslaw was nice.

Chick-In Plate

This was really good value for money as it was jam-packed with variety. The Pork bulgogi and miso soup were especially memorable with yummy flavours.

A.B's Chicken Salad

A.B like his Chicken Salad. It was tangy and refreshing.

Our Setup!

Overall, we had a great feed at Chick-In. I've heard about it but didn't expect it to be this good. I would definitely recommend this place if you have a craving for Korean fried chicken. The serving size suggestions are on the generous side so don't over order like we did. Thank-god, K and Sham were legends and had 9 pieces of chicken each while we only had 3-5. Service was lovely since our waitress was really bubbly and accommodating. I would defo come back to try to Signature Fries.
