This is our second visit to this place and we were quite impressed by the flavours of their offerings although a limited menu choice. Our visit last night was a different experience from our first. The original fried chicken was a touch greasy and the Bibimbap was lackluster in flavour and felt rushed and tasteless. Not happy jan!
Great to have a legit Korean place in Enmore. Sweet chilli chicken is the bomb and staff really nice. Only downside is its slightly on the more expensive side. Nonetheless Flying Tong is becoming a regular for me
Amid a vast sea of mediocrity, I was thrilled to find Flying Tong. These people care about what they do, and it’s evident in every step of the experience.The food… oh, the food. We had two types of chicken: the soy & and ginger (divinely delicious, tender, flavourful, boneless, moist and crispy), and the spicy bomb (holy-crap-hot, but not the kind that just burns; this chicken has so much awesome spicy flavour, I suffered through the pain because I couldn’t help myself. My dining companions are stronger, and could eat it as happily as I wished I could; it’s only my own weakness that kept me from scarfing it down). (Another happy note is that the coriander is just on top, and easily pulled off for those of us who can’t touch the stuff).We had the Gogi Fries (a beautiful blend of flavours; adventurous and comforting simultaneously), and the cheesy corn. I’m too embarrassed to tell you how many orders of the cheesy corn we got through. They import the corn from Korea, and it’s tiny, sweet and tender, like corn should be, with fantastic, stringy, melty mozzarella, and perfectly seasoned.We were all happy and satisfied. The meals were perfectly portioned, not skimpy, and the prices are reasonable. Service was impeccable. Loved it. Cannot wait to go back.
Really wanted to try this place. The food was just ok, but will we ever be back?? When I say to my self, I really feel like hot chips coated in a sweet soy mayonnaise sauce with shredded beef, fried chicken so hot I need to leave my tongue in my water (and I am normally a chili LOVER), then I’ll think of this place. But then, that’s probably not likely really.Be aware, $8 per bottle corkage and small portions….you’ll also be in and out in 3O mins as the place is small and they need your table….while they are still in their honey moon period that is.
Flying Tong serves up casual Korean dude food in a tiny, minimalist space. The menu is limited with few vegetarian options. General consensus at the table was that the food was very average and not worth facing the Newtown parking nightmare for. Prices are high yet portions are small. In fact, some of us ended up having a second dinner elsewhere to fill up. I did enjoy the chicken tacos with the corn tortilla adding a new flavour dimension to the gochujang marinated chicken. The fried chicken had a thicker batter than other Korean fried chickens I’ve had. Of the varieties we tried, my favourite was the Spicy Bomb which had a real chilli kick. Not for those with delicate tastebuds.
Food presentation was pretty, service was nice and atmosphere was pleasant. It was nice to try, but I won’t be back – I certainly wouldn’t queue to get in. The chips were amazing, the rest of the food was ok. I’m fried chicken fan, but this was too greasy for me and the condiments were not suited to the meals they were served with.
Not much meat on chicken, slow food service and don’t sell alcohol. Chicken Institute in Surry Hills is a much better place with similar vibes.
