Rating: 4.5/5
just for the wings themselves. Finger-lickin’ good!
SERVICE: 4.5/5
Always courteous service here. The owner is mostly busy in the kitchen frying up those perfect wings but he is very lovely and charming if you get a chance to speak to him. Obviously very passionate about his Korean heritage and foood. Happy to support such a wonderful homely business.
FOOD: 4.5/5
I’ve eaten in a few times, ordered for pick-up as well as order in to the office via uber eats…all times the food has been consistent, consistently delicious and addictive! I’ve tried REALLY hard but I haven’t been able to go without ordering wings every time. They are just TOO GOOD. Frankly the most perfect little crispy, flavoursome wings I’ve ever had. They get from me just by themselves. If you like spicy, the flaming lava and red cave salt are both delicious.
Marry the wings up with some stone bowl bibimbap and you are in heaven. The beef stew with tofu is a nice mild soup to break up all the spice.
For something different, also try their rice flour noodles with mozzarella.
Serving sizes and prices are also good value particularly eating share-style with a larger group. Get to taste a bit of everything.
DECOR & AMBIENCE: 4/5
A decent sized space in Pinewood, Mount Waverley with easy parking out front. It can cater for small and large groups but best to book for more than 2 or 3 people especially on peak nights. There is wall to ceiling murals inside which adds to the quirkiness and originality of the brand. Thoroughly enjoy dining in this fun and friendly environment.
KID FRIENDLY: I haven’t gone with the kids but I can’t see why not. I’d recommend booking ahead asking for pram space if needed. Fri/Sat evenings can also be quite busy & loud if you don’t mind it.
Great service, great fried chicken, and great kimchi pancake (could be a little crispier but still delicious). Love love love love love this place and will defs be back!!!!!!
Have been a few times and always enjoy the food here. Always have to order the fried chicken. Usually get a mix of flavours but original cave salt is still my favourite.
Really curious about this place as the menu was small but the reviews were high. Tried 15 pieces of chicken, in sweet lava and flaming lava. Also tried the kimchi pancake. The chicken pieces are like genuine Korean chicken, small but well flavoured. They’re not cripsy or well battered at this place. We thought 15 pieces would be a lot but I think the two of us can eat 20 next time. The kimchi pancake is the same, well flavoured but soft instead of cripsy, so soft you can stretch the pieces off each other. Overall not the best Korean chicken I’ve tried but it is still delicious. Great flavours, but the flaming lava might be too spicy for some.
