Actually, scratch that, it should be BAKED chicken. Slightly different than fried. It would be my first time trying Korean Baked Chicken (KBC if that's even a thing?), but I think I still prefer the fried version. The japchae and the soondoobu were spot on! We ordered one curry baked chicken and one spicy one - I preferred the curry one more. A little hard to communicate with the servers, tried requesting for more water in Cantonese and they could not understand... until I pointed at my water cup and those of the rest of the table. I'll need to try other KFC places to make a fair comparison, but all I can say is, you can't go wrong with Goobne!

Decided to check this baked chicken place out with a friend on a Wednesday night. It was packed…read more Waited about 45 minutes for a table! Must be super popular amongst the locals. Once seated, it felt like a typical chain restaurant however the service was actually quite acceptable for being so busy. Everyone was drinking these fancy drinks that were blue with toy sharks or upside down beers inside a frozen concoction. Very Korean and very popular these days. The "yogiyo" button for service came in super handy. We decided to order the chicken salad which was quite tasty and healthy. I liked how they put the dressing on the side so it wasn't drenched. The salad was quite a healthy portion for 2 people. We also got the crunchy rice boneless sweet chicken that was really tasty. Very nice crunch and also a good portion for 2 people. Finally we washed it all down with fish cake soup. On a cold night, it totally hit the spot. All in all, it was a good meal and quite authentic tasting. I would come back again, minus the wait. Recommended.

We ordered a basket of the hot spicy chicken for $185 HKD ($24 USD). It was a large portion of chicken accompanied by a small amount homemade chips. The chicken was scorching hot and the spice left a lingering tingle on the lips. The chips were also tasty, but I wish there'd have been more. It was a nice option for late night grub, however I felt it was very overpriced. Total bill for the chicken and 2 draft beers was about $40 USD.

Super cheap - 5pm and leave by 7pm, you pay less than $80 for all-you-can-eat KBBQ. Prices range after 7pm and 10pm, but you're not looking to spend more than $200 here, including $100 for 6 bottles of beer. Selection is not full of the most quality products but you're sure to be stuffed and satisfied with all the chicken, pork, beef, fish cakes, fish, mussels etc. Also offer hot foods while you wait for your raw meats to cook- including black bean clams, curry fish balls, and fried rice. They have the banchan too, in a little fridge, including pickled cucumbers, kimchi, green beans, and beansprouts. Desserts and fruits are available, standard cheap buffet fare. Definitely a place to check out if you live in Tai Wai - good value for money KBBQ.

So instead of carrying me out they will roll me out hehe. . First thing first go to the bathroom to wash hands and it was filthy! No soap, wet floors, and unisex, and small restroom. Just eeeekkk and yucky. . The bright side of the place is they offer shabu and korean bbq. Shabu is a hot pot in the middle of the grill filled with hot water or broth for you to boil your food. I was definitely craving me some shabu. Next is the grill but korean style bbq. . Went to the buffet table and looked at the all the selection they offer. For the korean bbq food selection they have beef, chicken, pork, corn, sausages, veggies, shitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and etc. . The positive side about the meat is they have lots of selection with different cuts and parts like for chicken they offered chicken wings too. The meat is not marinated so its fresh and there is less salt for the body to consume. . The negative side is the meat was bland. i went back to the buffet and searched for sauces, so i mixed soy sauce with some hot chily pepper, and made a special dip for my proteins and meat. it went from bland to having some flavor and the food tasted better. . The shabu was good for steam veggies and loved the variety of stuff they offer. i took the enoki shrooms and just k bbq it, but with a sprinkle of sweet soy sauce to marinate the shrooms and give it flavor. The k bbq style enoki shrooms was to die for after i gave it some flavor. . My most favorite part of the buffet was the all you can eat bon chon! The bon chon was so fresh and tasty. love the kimchi, the fresh bean sprouts, garlic spinach, and much more! Most of their bon chon was kind of mild spicy to no spicy so if you don't do spicy, might be a problem. . overall i thought this place was ok. I hope they make some improvements with the restroom. Maybe offering k bbq meats with marination. Anyways it was a fun time and meeting friends at a buffet was dangerous. It was dangerous because we all over ate and just felt blahhhhh. My favorite part of this buffet was the soup they offer. The soup was definitely very soothing for the throat. The soup was some kind of veggie in a chicken soup with some herbs. Anyways thanks for reading and eat up and keep it saucy!

I think the majority of their meats was pretty good, just a couple was tough to eat or wasn't tender enough. I'd definitely come back again!

For this price you can't beat having the wide range of selection. The meats are not your typical thinly sliced rolled meats (see pics), but meat is meat and I can't complain. All you can drink sodas and drinks as well! One thing though you constantly have to buzz and ask that the BBQ pit be changed, otherwise they won't change it for you. In typical Korean BBQ restaurants the serves are really attentive to that and will change it for you when it gets burnt.

The side dishes served here are very good and is a good sign that the food will be good. They are stingy with the refills and will only give two dishes to ask for a second round. However, the bbq uses a gas grill and not charcoal. You definitely will taste the difference. Food: 3.75 stars Service: 2.5 stars Environment: 3 stars Value: 4 stars Overall: 3.5 stars Recommendations: seafood pancake, ok tongue, marinated galbi, thick cut pork belly The service here is not very good. You will need to proactively get the waiters attention for any help. They don't do any of the cooking for you and the food comes at a slow pace especially given that the meat is cooked at the table and is raw. The non bbq meat items are really quite good here and I would come back to try more of these. You can tell by eating the kimchi you can tell that the food is authentic. The price isn't too expensive if you stick with the non premium meat. Is about 350 HKD per person for food.

While the staff were somewhat lacking in presence, they definitely made up for it in food quality and value for money. We had a kimchi pancake which was fantastic! The pancake itself was crunchy and fragrant while retaining the flavour of kimchi, and the squid stone pot rice was also really good, being both crunchy and chewy, allowing for that variability in textures. Staff were nice enough when we could find them, but considering how they had the waiter call bell system, they should have pointed out that system when we took our seat since it was rather inconspicuously placed out of plain sight. To sum it up, I would try this place out again!

It's a surprisingly large and open wooden space, which is refreshing after bumping knees and getting breathed on by strangers all day, every day. Your first step inside is greeted with TV screens playing Kpop and the smell of sizzle and sauce; it's a Korean fried haven. Goobne specializes in, you guessed it, Korean fried chicken, but with a heavy infusion of Western bar food. They've got salads, pastas, Asian style rice rolls, and a variety of fancy margaritas (one with a shark). Mostly though, you're here for the chicken. On my initial visit, my friend and I shared: Appletiser: Some foreign apple sparkly with a punny name. It's what you expect. Fizzy apple juice in a bottle. Overpriced because of its foreignness and because it's in a bottle. Caesar Salad: This is not a Caesar salad. Caesar sauce (in a cup on the side, no less) with some veggies, croutons, and parmesan does not a Caesar make. Who adds frisee to a Caesar? Or red cabbage? OR TOMATOES AND CUCUMBERS? It's fine for a salad. Just know that you are not ordering a Caesar when you order this Caesar. Rice Crunch Chicken Boneless: Yes, this is where it's at! A well-portioned amount of crispy boneless chicken covered in sweet and spicy sauce, carried out in a cast iron pan. To make it better, tiny rice bits cover the chicken for extra crunch. To make it EVEN better, pieces of sauce-soaked Korean rice cakes are mixed in. SO. GOOD. Strawberry Milk Snow: I don't know what I was expecting for this. Something more like shaved ice? Nope. Milk snow is exactly what it is: creamy crystals that melted on impact. It was incredibly unique and the right amount of sweet with the ice cream and strawberries mixed in. 10/10, will choke on ice particles again. Goobne Chicken is goodne chicken. There, I said it. Though my puns are bad, Goobne isn't. And with this being one of several locations in HK, you can always get your fried chicken on. Whether you're in the mood to hang out, or to grab a sharkarita, or just to get some good grub, Goobne is one great choice in the city with way too many food choices. (52/100) - 100
