I don’t know what everyone is talking about with the shoddy reviews about this place, but I came here for some korean fried chicken and let’s just say, it had me coming back within the same week.
Although the batter, you may find different from other locations, in my opinion, it is superior to the standard basic dry batters that other places utilise. The batter at Ohsso was Ohsso good! With a light airy batter which maintained is level of crispness throughout the entire time I was there. Within this golden batter, tender, juicy meat resided which broke apart with ease and had an amazingly soft, and satisfying mouthfeel.
If you ask me, I would highly recommend getting original chicken and sauce on the side for the best experience at this location. The sauce given, is plentiful and can easily be enough for an entire chicken. Keeping the sauce and the chicken separate, allows the batter to maintain crispness Which is a key element of the enjoyment.
Other side dishes I tried included the pork japchae, tteokbokki, fried mandoo and kimchi pancake, which were all okay, but definitely not the stars of the meal.
Personally, I think the japchae tastes similarly to the pizza I get at the local pizzeria, which messed with my head a bit and was a tad oily and salty for my palate.
The tteokbokki was better than I’ve had at other locations, which I am usually not the biggest fan of, but found this place pleasantly more savoury, rather than absolutely sweet which I enjoyed.
The fried mandoo, although vegetarian, was delicious nonetheless, with a great substantial texture inside, similar to meat and a beautiful crisp exterior.
Despite the side items not wowing me, I came here for fried chicken, and that’s what I received at an exceptional level, and for this, I will be coming back for the chicken again and again.
Peace out!!
Ordered the sweet chilli n soy garlic whole chicken, deobokki, spicy pork kimbap n matcha patbingsu for dessert (which was definitely way too much food for two). However, the food was really good, the sauce of the rice cakes tasted a lot more spicy than what I usually have but I liked it. It was also my first time having kimbap and I enjoyed it!! Overall good experience although we couldnt finish all the food. Would recommend!
🥓 ORDERED MENU 🍳
Small Bunshik Set ($10) w/ Tuna kimbap + Ramen ($2)
🙆 WHAT WENT WELL 🥰
✓ Food: I think this set is very well made! I love the variety that they provide, and the kimbap balances out the spicy, sweet Ddeokbokki. Mandoo was average, but their seaweed roll is very nice. Size of the whole meal is good, fills you up without overstuffing you!
✓ Service: Very friendly and warm, pleasant interaction. Cute shop, with neon lights and friendly staff.
✓ Value for money: I came with Eatclub promotion, so that brought the price down. For a quick meal that doesn't require you to stuff yourself, I think it's worth every penny!
🙅 WHAT DIDN'T GO SO WELL 😬
× Food: Nothing in particular. While it was a very pleasant meal, it wasn't anything extraordinary.
🌺 FINAL THOUGHTS ☘️
Definitely a good deal with Eatclub! I would be happy to come back for more if I'm in the area, whenever I crave variety in my meals!
