GoBong Korean Restaurant Review - Archway - London - The Infatuation

"The Holloway Road is a big road—1.9 miles, to be precise. At its top end you’ll find GoBong, an excellent little Korean restaurant. It’s a functional space made homely with frilly curtains, cushions, and a sharing table in the middle. The KFC is very good: crisp and moist and, importantly, some is still on the bone. Heat levels vary, though we’d recommend going ‘Inferno’ if you want a proper kick. Homemade kimchi is an excellent bit of crunch to have on the side that’s heavy on tart and tingliness, which is just how we like it. Otherwise, the menu has bibimbap, pajeon, udon, and other bits too. It’s great for a lunch break. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Jake Missing

I’ve eaten at Gobong a couple of times and have also ordered takeout several times, and the service is always excellent. The owner and his family are incredibly friendly and courteous, and they truly make you feel welcome every time. The food is consistently delicious. I especially recommend the soy garlic and honey butter chicken wings. They’re flavorful and perfectly cooked. The French fries are always fresh and crispy, and the Beef Bulgogi Cupbap is absolutely amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food and outstanding service!

Finally! Chicken that tastes fresh and not frozen. My soy garlic chicken, while a tiny bit too saucy, is not dripping with sauce, not salty, and not like eating a spoon of brown sugar. Don't be put off by the interior design. You're not eating the interior design. Even if you do, it's clean. Besides, it's mostly for to-go orders. Some of the nicest people, too, in the neighborhood. I got free soda, and the coleslaw is plenty enough dinner for two nights. And it feels good to buy local!

I think the owner is one the nicest people we’ve met. He was welcoming and extremely kind. The food was delicious. We tried it freshly made and it was so crispy, incredible tender, and tasted so good. We will definitely come back here again!!

Exceptional Korean chicken. Tried first time couple months ago, it is my go to place for Korean chicken craving :) Pick-up from there a dozen times at this point. Owner and the lady are so nice and caring, their preparation speed is top notch while the food is fresh as it gets. Definitely recommend!

First time getting Gobong for me and my fam. I must say I was very impressed. By far the best korean fried chicken in the area. Very tasty and crispy. Highly recommend !!

Ordered take out for the first time. Counter service upon pick-up was excellent. The cashier was very fast and friendly. It’s a small place inside. I would recommend take-out. The food is very unique tasting, most of it being sweet. We ordered the crispy chicken sandwich, Cheese Tteokbokki (Korean pasta), sweet and spicy wings, regular fries and cheese sprinkle fries. The cheese sprinkles fries had a sweet flavor. The wings were more sweet than spicy. It wasn’t really for me but I recommend you give it a try and experience the uniqueness for yourself.

Was a bit skeptical of how true the reviews could be with how positive they all are, but this place genuinely has some of the best wings I’ve ever had, and I keep coming back. Seriously the DEA needs to reclassify these wings as a schedule 1 drug because they are insanely addictive, I’m back here about once a week. They’re so crispy on the outside and still juicy in the middle, and their sauces are amazing. Personal favorites are the spicy soy garlic wings and the honey butter wings. Had the mozzarella corn dog a few times too, never had anything like it before and I was surprised by how good it was. Plus they have delicious boba tea, and the family who runs the place are very friendly. Highly recommend going here!

Two years later and their spicy soy garlic chicken wings are my favorite!! No place compares. Ordered them yesterday and couldn't get over how good this place is. I've been to a ton of wing spots, and this place still sits at #1

First time here and it won't be the last. Owner operated very friendly owner. Wings are very flavorful and extra crunchy. Boneless chicken also extra crunchy and flavorful. You do get a lot for your money where else can you get 10 wings for $13. We had boneless honey butter and soy garlic wings with a side of great cheese fries not your ordinary cheese fries they had a sweet salty taste sounds strange but excellent.

Rory H.

The food and service was awesome. The honey butter mixed piece was amazing. I liked the soy garlic and the plain is also great. The crunch on this chicken was unbelievable.

Fantastic Korean fried chicken!! Super fresh, crunchy, and tangy. I want to try everything on the menu.

If you love Korean Fried Chicken then this place has what you crave. The Sweet and Spicy drumsticks are almost sinfully good and the Cheese sprinkle version is just as delectable but a little less messy. Nice people, clean shop and easy parking. Zero ambiance but who cares...your take out order will be ready in 15-20 minutes and in no time you can be home, curled up on your couch, watching K-Dramas and munching on this delicious treat.

Tried it a second time. Still okay. Got soy garlic sauce but it was on the sweet side. Nothing savory in anything I got. Radish and coleslaw also very sweet. This time I tried bone in mixed - lots of batter and not much chicken. Sandwich was good but again too much sweet sauce. Overall the lunch specials are a good quick meal priced well but it's not a place I would wanna go over and over again.

Bob K.

Yelp

Great chicken, size, taste, price all outstanding. Favorite is cheese sprinkle. I would recommend it if you are daring for bold flavors.

There are several Korean chicken spots in very close proximity to Gobong. Others are good but Gobong is GREAT! My husband and I were desperate for something quick, affordable, and delicious during our busy work week and saw Gobong pop up on UberEats. The pricing was great, we saw other positive reviews, so we decided to try. We got the boneless chicken (sweet and spicy) and the bone in wings (honey butter). We also ordered some fries. We were both very happy with our meal. The chicken was crunchy but tender and the fries were nice and crispy. Everything was packaged well! Now that I am making this review, I will be ordering again tonight! We can't wait to try other flavors and visit in person.

Absolute "must try" if you love Korean styled chicken. We ordered spicy soy garlic wings and plain fried chicken wings with two sauces on the side: Honey Butter - which is easily my favorite of all. Sweet & Spicy Everything was incredibly fresh and the chicken was SO cripsy yet incredibly moist. The plain wings don't have much flavor to them so you definitely will want to add a sauce on top or to dip in. This is a hidden gem in Carlstadt and we will definitely be back.

So happy that a Korean fried chicken place opened up near me. I got the wings here (plain, spicy soy garlic) and the wings were very big and I thought the skin on the plain wings were so crispy...easily one of the best in the area. The soy garlic sauce tasted a bit too sweet so I don't know if they put the wrong sauce on by accident but I would personally just stick with the original and maybe ask for sauce on the side since the skin is so crispy. I thought the prices here were noticeably lower than the other Korean fried chicken places so that's a huge plus. This place is defintely a family run business as you see two little children helping out where they can and the entire family is super nice. Looking forward to support this well-run business and eating more delicious fried chicken!

New Business on the strip. It is worth checking it out. The food tastes incredible. Order ahead, so you do not have to wait. This is my second visit, and I will be returning.

We've had this twice since my first review and they're been consistently great, so it's only fair that I upgrade my rating to 5 stars! Now, back to my honey butter wings.

Danielle D.

We love the honey butter chicken and French fries. Food seems to be cooked fresh!! French fries were awesome

Paul M.

Yelp

best fried chicken around. Perfectly fried and super flavorful. The size of the drumsticks took me by surprise as well. they were pretty massive for drumsticks. also ordered a bunch of their bubble teas and pretty much everyone enjoyed their bubble teas. This place is currently my goto fried chicken place now.

Robert S.

Yelp

This is a really great Korean fried chicken restaurant. The chicken is very crispy, and the flavors to choose from are outstanding. I had the spicy soy garlic wings, and the honey butter wings. I was hesitant to try the honey butter because it's not usually a flavor I go for, but the kid at the register recommended it when I asked, and omg it was good! Prices are reasonable, and chicken is out of this world good. You can dine in, but the ambiance is more geared for take out. It's definitely worth checking this place out, you won't be disappointed.

Jae S.

Can't really go wrong with any of the flavors! The staff is super friendly and the store itself is very clean. Will be coming back regularly for sure

Michelle A.

Yelp

Amazing chicken. We went with the soy garlic with fries, pickled radish, and Cole slaw on the side. Fresh chicken, fries were crispy, and you get so much food for your money. Will be back!

Picked up dinner tonight...it was so good!!!! Portions are generous and chicken was cooked to perfection! The owner and his son were so polite! I will be going back! Give this place a try!!

Amy P.

Ordered 60 pieces of wings. Fried (original), sweet & spicy (traditional Korean style sauce), and soy garlic. All were flavorful and the wings were decently sized. Fav was the fried wings. Batter is super crunchy and not overly salty. Great with a dab of Tabasco. Great Korean chicken spot in a quaint neighborhood! Will order again when in the area.

Joel B.

Amazing but NO DELIVERY choice at all? ITS 2022 You can get a Popsicle delivered but can't get this excellent food.

Carly P.

Yelp

This is the best fried chicken I've had in awhile. I had the spicy soy garlic and the honey butter flavors. Soy garlic was excellent, but I've never had a honey butter wing before and wow, it was so good. Everything was clearly made to order and was so piping hot and crispy. The place itself is clean and service was quick and easy. I'll definitely be returning.

Rizh E.

Newly opened korean chicken shop near me... decided to give it a try. Delicious chicken, affordable price, and great customer service. So worth it! Highly recommend the honey butter chicken, the best! Will definitely keep coming back for more

Kids love chicken katsu and chicken teriyaki. The portions are good. Try the garlic chicken first time and it was crunchy and saucy. Next time will try plain ... Family business but wish they kept it a bit cleaner up front. Floor and bathroom needs a good scrubbing.

Mo B.

This place is so awesome! My kids love it!! My wife has extreme acid reflux and can enjoy this place without any issues! The staff is extremely friendly! The prices aren't bad either! Definitely a go to spot when in the area...

Ashley C.

We have ordered takeout 2x from here the past 2 weeks and both times have been amazing. Pickup was in 20 mins and the food was still hot and fresh by the time we got home. The chicken is fried to perfection and the sauces (spicy soy garlic and sweet & spicy) were super flavorful. Will continue to order and trying different things from the menu. 10/10

Fran C.

Yelp

we ordered a whole fried chicken, cole slaw, pickled radishes and fries.. the chicken was delicious, nice n crispy - but there is no way this was a whole chicken...it is cut up into pieces...we had alot of drumsticks .. a few wings and very little breast meat.. cole slaw and radishes were good fries were mushy...
