Chicken, so much chicken. Huge amounts of chicken. And all of it is fried!
The chicken could be a bit less fatty, but hey, if you go to a fried chicken place and complain about fatty food you're probably beyond help...
Volcano sauce is definitely great and you'll experience the heat for at least two days. š š
I'm a regular at their Lonsdale outlet but this is my first time here. As expected from Gami, their flavours are amazing - potato haven is a MUST, no matter how full I think I am, I always order it because it is simply a work of art. Soy Garlic boneless was beautifully seasoned. The beef and rice combo was surprisingly good! The only reason why this is not a 5 star review is the wait. We were there right at opening hour (around 5pm, I believe) and it was still empty, though I could see food delivery orders were pouring in. However, despite the place being nearly empty, it took longer for our eat-in food to be served than the food deliveries. I may have came on a particularly slow day or something though, I don't hold it against them. The food is still delicious and I would go back any day
edit: I would also add that if you like chicken that is more tender, get the wings/ bone chicken. if you like them with a bit of texture and less tender, get the boneless chicken.
We had boneless chicken with soya garlic sauce and also with sweet chilli and exclusive gami beer. The chicken was tender, full of flavours and the sauces brought out the best in the chicken. The ambience and staff are worth a praise too. One can go for trying out Korean food.
Came here for lunch and decided to grab the half boneless chicken special. I also opted for honey mustard on the side. I love all the gamiās Iāve found itās very consistent. The chicken was very succulent and very crispy. The honey mustard always goes quite well on the side.
KFC doesnāt get any better than Gami. And of course you should wash it all down with šŗ. I donāt know when they updated the menu but itās all still finger lickenā good. Fitzroy is one of the more spacious venues and doesnāt seem to be overcrowded. And I donāt know what they do to the sweet chilli š¶ sauce but I could drink this stuff. Highlights: sweet chilli chicken! Potato heaven! And the mandu was pretty good. Lowlights: Gami doesnāt provide a hand washing facility like many others or a miniature bucket for the bones. But I guess you just got to either brush up on the š„¢ skills and go for the boneless options.

Gami is a very popular franchise these days and I can see why. It has great flavoured chicken and is a great initial introduction to some of the westernised Korean food that most people from all backgrounds will enjoy. I will never understand corn covered with cheese but will eat it nonetheless.
When your main focus is on the chicken, you are expected to deliver - I was pleased with the juiciness, tenderness and flavour of their chicken.
Mushroom and tofu was a good side dish. Would skip the kimchi pancake, it was substandard.
Happy to order delivery again.
The soy garlic sauce is so delicious I can't get enough of it. It's sweet and umami at the same time. The chicken meat was so tender and crispy at the same time. But the spicy chicken is just spicy lol. Next time I would just order the soy garlic one, a whole chicken. Haven't had a chance to taste other menu but I will surely coming back!
We went to Gami on a Saturday for a late night feed. Service was no fuss and the food came out relatively quickly. The place was pretty packed despite how late it was.
We did what we always do and overordered. The spicy wings were actually really hot. The Soy Garlic chicken wings weren't very impressive unfortunately. The original fried chicken, even though a bit bland and got a bit sickening after a while, was our favourite.
While this was a decent late night feed, it's definitely not the best fried chicken in town. We will definitely be back to try the other non fried chicken items (that seemed quite delicious in fact) on the menu šŗ
Had the boneless chicken with the soy garlic and spicy flavor. Soy garlic was amazing. The place is fairly expensive in my opinion being at $34 for the boneless chicken.
The Highpoint store is better but you'll still get great Gami chicken here. Love their spicy flavour and the garlic soy one.
Really enjoyed the chicken here and have been back for more. Recommend going to the restaurant rather than using a delivery service as it's much better fresh.
Also highly recommend getting the barrel of beer and the cheese corn kernels.
Really good honey soy chicken and the fries are incredible, a bit on the pricey side however
Good old fried chicken, nothing fancy, you have to get your hands dirty and enjoy the taste.
I prefer this place than Nene chicken. We got half spicy half original and it was perfect. The sauce was abit sweet for us
