I recently walked by Yami Yami and coincidentally found out they specialize in Chunchoen Dak-Galbi (Spicy Chicken). Chunchoen is a region in Korea that's known for this specific type of Spicy Dak-Galbi which comes out in a HUGE pan. Typically you'd leave about 1/3 in the pan and let the sauce simmer to fry them with extra rice to make Dak-BokGum-Bab. I was expecting a half-assed version but was rather blown away how authentic it was :) Not to mention, I loved its rustic vibe - nostalgic.
We ordered Medium Size ($58 - 3 people size) and added Cheese ($5), Rice ($8), and Glass Noodles ($5) to take it up a notch. When it came out, we were all blown away because it was so damn big! It was legit big enough to feed a small village. Medium Size was more than enough for 4 and we even had enough left over for 2. It was mildly spicy with heaps of marinated chicken thighs and assorted vegetables. It was undoubtably tasty but I'd personally ask for extra spice next time to really bring out its flavours. Will definitely definitely visit again!
Pro Tip: Always add Cheese and Bok-Gum Bab to your Chunchoen Spicy Chicken (Chuncheon Dak-Galbi). Just trust
Points for: dakgalbi spicy fried chicken
The Lonsdale St Yami Yami is a little quieter than other Korean restaurants nearby, but it’s still quite good.
Their signature dish is the Chuncheon Spicy Chicken, not often found in many Korean restaurants.
It’s mildly spicy with large chunks of chicken thigh, and you can add to it, like cheese and dukbokki. Also order ssam vegies to wrap it all up.
It’s almost customary to leave 1/4 of it in the pan and add extra rice. They will take it away and fry it all together. Totally overboard but so good!
Good food, excellent lunch menu.
I really like that.
Thank you so much
I will comeback some day
I like korean food and this is a good restaurant. Maybe my favourite, mi food was pork and was perfect
