Jinjja Chicken

A Korean fried chicken premise near Bugis Street’s entrance. The soy garlic sauce chicken tasted nice with just-right saltiness. The yangnyeom chicken was not as spicy as I thought, but I still preferred the soy garlic one. The food came quick and service was efficient too.

Good deal! 12 pc wings for only $9.90 sgd. Waiting time was a bit long, about 30 - 35 mins for just the 12 pc wings. There were only 2 people in front of me in line despite it being CNY Day 2, so I expected a longer wait. But trust me, even on regular days, the wait is still about 20 mins with no crowd lol. The spicy yangnyeom chicken is always pretty good. The soy garlic chicken is a bit too sweet for me. You know Korean food... they pretty much add corn syrup to everything they make. Even the spicy marinade has got it, so diabetics watch out hahah. The jjambbong (spicy seafood noodles) is a joke and is not even close to actual Korean jjambbong. Trust me, I've eaten it in different cities in Korea more than 50 times already during my last 14 trips. As for ramyeon... meh, why pay $11 for weak ramyeon when you can buy a 5-pack for $6-8 and make it yourself to your taste? They use the same brand anyway. Nongshim or Jin ramyeon is like the go-to default brand for most Korean restaurants (even in Korea). I eat Jinjja chicken maybe once a month or once in two months, so have tried a lot of the menu. My conclusion is that you should go for what it's known for - the fried chicken. The popcorn chicken is actually really good, not 80% flour like kfc. It's a good 75% : 25% meat to flour coating ratio. Go for that too. The other items are not very worth it if you want authentic Korean food.

Great friendly service and the foods is great tasting. 😋😋😋👍👍👍
