Chicken 649

If you want deep fried batter then that's what you get. Oily tasty goo with a bit of chicken. Since I couldn't find much chicken in my first bite as the batter was overwhelming I thought I would take apart two pieces of their chicken to see how much was batter and bone versus chicken meat. Say 60 to 70% is batter with bone and 30 to 40% is chicken.

One of the best Korean fried chicken in town. The overall price of everything has gone up a lot. This one is no exception. It has gone up to 36 from 26 two years ago. However, the price won’t keep me away from this goody! Less frequent, but great flavor. I will get soya and spicy half and half. This is what I have ordered since the restaurant first opened.

Best Fried Chicken in Victoria! We were driving around the area today 7/13 and for the first time, we decided to try this restaurant called Chicken 649 that people have been raving about. We ordered the 1/2 & 1/2 meal. This came with The Original Crispy chicken and The Yang Nyeom Korean Chicken:Just enough Spiciness So Yummy! The Filipina behind the counter I forgot her name was very Professional, Helpful and Friendly. She even helped out an older gentleman to pick up some of his change, that he had dropped while He was eating his dinner. This place is a bit small and can be crowded at times, but it is a hidden gem.

You must come chicken this place out.. corny I know Chicken is a blend of unique flavours and crunchy enough to muffle out the voices of those around me. Wirh each bite there appears to have steam rising from each piece and the smell of seasoning, it's just mmmmm, mmmm and btw it comes in pizza boxes which I thought was coolio

They use really bad oil to fry the chicken. I have been ordering other korean fried chicken from DT. After keeping the chicken in fridge for one night, the one from this restaurant smells like dish towel, the other one from another restaurant smells ok. This restaurant uses the cheapest labour and the most batter to get the chicken done. The chopped garlic they use are not fresh but the packed ones from wholesale. Would even give the leftovers to my dog. Good luck running your unethical business.

I got perfect deep-fried bones! One drumstick been cut to 3 peaces! In one full order I only got 2 whole drumsticks! It is unbelievable! I will never back!

Good service and quick pick up. We ordered the original fried chicken and potato wedges. Both are delicious. Chicken so crispy and not dry. We ordered the full pack and shared with 5 people and there's more than enough for us.

I would rate 9/10. If the boxes on the full chicken orders didn't leak. It would be 10/10. Great food though, best chicken hands down. I respect your beautiful service and mouth watering chicken. Can't wait for my taste buds to party in the presence of this fine delicious food. So I say before I go, thank-you for your desirable, juicy flavor enticing chicken.

The chicken is good but they don't cook their fries enough, always end up with half cooked wedges fries. The team is unable to make a compromise on cooking anything longer than they offer so expect undercooked wedge fries almost regularly. I wouldrecommend this to anyone only looking specifically for deep fried chicken or pickled radish but their side dishes otherwise lack any sense of care.

Well that was my last attempt to eat from 649. I like their chicken, but staff can be trained better. I tried to call them several times to order for pickup, when I was finally connected with someone he told me he is too busy so call back in 5 min… I was like, can’t you just take the order for pickup? And he said he will just put me on hold for 5 min instead. Hmmmm… am I asking too much or could he just have taken the order on a sticky pad or piece of paper and put it in later if he was too busy? I know the place is busy but definitely has one less regular customer now, so maybe others will be served better. I will just go to other Korean chicken places.
