I love Gami so much! Best Korean chicken in Victoria! I recommend getting the brand new cheese snowy chicken or if you're a bit basic, the boneless. Their honey mustard is amazing and the taste is incomparable. The service is nice too they are always welcoming and make sure to ask if the food is satisfactory The place itself has a beautiful scenery and is aesthetically pleasing. read more

Came here with my brother and was in the mood for Korean crunchy fried chicken- One simple addicting treat! Ordered the half chicken in sweet chili flavors. Honestly, I was mesmerized by the presentation (and portion too); piles of chicken smothered with gooey chili sauce on top of it. It was good lookin! Taste-wise, however, it was not on par with the eye-pleasing appearance. The fried chicken were stale and tasted so bland. The only flavor I can pick up was from the sweet chili sauce, which tasted to me like the Thai sweet chili condiment (that you used for egg rolls's dipping). The taste mashup was not something that I would expect from a big Korean Fried Chicken chain. The meal with drink included, this will cost you around $25. Not worth it. My brother, on the other hand, thought the chicken was good and actually went back the next day for more... well, I guess to each his own! XD read more

Gami Chicken and Beer - Korean fried chicken with sweet chili. - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Great place to eat if you are in the mood for fried chicken and beer. The atmosphere is chill and relax; industrial-contemporary decor. I give this place a $$ and a 4 stars. Come during lunch with your friends and get their boneless chicken platter (serves 2-3 ppl) . You can get different sauces to try with your fried chicken. I recommend making a reservation to make sure you have a table! Otherwise, you can walk in at 12pm and be seated. It gets more packed towards 1pm. We got the jug of pale lager, boneless chicken platter (which I recommend) with the; spicy, sweet chilli, and honey mustard sauce. You get two sauces with each order of chicken platter, but for a buck more you can add on sauces. read more

Gami Chicken and Beer - We got the boneless wings from the lunch menu with spicy, sweet chili, and honey mustard sauce. - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Gami hit the spot after some drinks and a comedy show. Some nights you just need an unhealthy fix and when you do, go for some tasty Korean chicken. I was impressed with the two types of chicken I ordered: sweet chilli and garlic soy. The sweet chilli was not too spicy and the garlic soy had a great flavour. Next time I would like to try the original, as the thick coating and perfectly cooked chunks would be great without extra sauce. The meal came with complimentary cabbage slaw, shrimp chips and daikon. The pickled radish could have used some spice. Perhaps an order of kimchi would have done the trick. Rice was not included but I would recommend it. Overall a great meal and place worth returning for lunch as well as a late night snack. There is ample seating both up and downstairs along with quick service and a fun atmosphere. read more

Gami Chicken and Beer - Garlic soy and sweet chilli chicken with complimentary shrimp chips and pickled radish and a Korean beer! :) - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Let me break it down for y'all. Order the original - it stays crispy and it's devoid of the heavy sauce which becomes cloyingly sweet after 2 pieces. Order the Gami beer. One plate feeds three to four people. Why are you still reading this when you should be eating fried chicken? read more

Yes yes yes! This place was great! While in Melbourne from Perth, my sister took me on a bit of a bar hop and we ended up here at the end of the night for fried chicken and last beers of the night. Love the simplicity of the menu, friiiiiied chicken. You could have a few different sauces on them but I enjoyed the original the best. Crispier that way. My sister also showed me how to drink a soju beer bomb... Fantastic! Similar to a sake bomb I had in LA. Very friendly waiter with a constant smile on his face. Loved it! read more

Most people go to Gami for the Korean fried chicken. And you should: it comes in ginger, plain and sweet chilli, and it's pretty tasty. But that's not why I go there. Not for the beer, either. Nup. I go there for the side dishes. There's a dish of Cheese and Corn which really is just... melted cheese. With corn. And they do a bratwurst which is so authentically European that you can tell it's from Asia, in the same way that some portrayals of Victorian England are clearly Japanese. Certainly, it's not healthy. And it seems to have got very popular recently, so getting a table on a walk-up is going to be unlikely. For whatever reason, it can be a bit of a gap between ordering your meal and it arriving. That said, you'll probably have a mini-keg on the table, so you might not care that much. Worth it. read more

Gami Chicken and Beer - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

I'm really not sure why I haven't been here before but I'm really really glad I have been now. Gami really is fried chicken and beer. Not a lot more to say besides its delicious. It's also necessary to use your hands and its sticky. Did I already say delicious! Yes delicious. If you consume chicken and you're not precious about sticky fingers, then you really MUST try this place. But it's probably not a first date restaurant. Oh, service is good, fast and efficient and the place is clean. Go check it out. read more

Gami Chicken and Beer - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Visiting Melbourne for work and my colleagues suggested this place after seeing great reviews. Personally I've never had Korean fried chicken before so I was pretty excited to try. We got there on a weekday during dinner time. Small space from the outside but they had an entire second level that was open. We had ordered both the boneless and with bone chicken. They give out radish and shrimp crackers to nom on! Love love love Service was great and the cost is very reasonable. We also ordered the four layered geese corn which was ok, nothing mind blowing or special. Bits of the boneless chicken were dry so they hooked me up with their homemade gochujang sauce which was off the hook. I would recommend this place. Good selection of beer and food options other than fried chicken read more

Yup, they sure do have a lot of chicken and beer at Gami... I'm actually not a big fan of chicken - I'd choose any other meat or veg first, but my friend insisted we go to Gami for our group's monthly boozy dinner, so I gave trotted along. I don't even know what we ordered - there were many, many plates of chicken, most of them quite spicy but pretty tasty overall. Still, I kept having mental visions of the filthy birds stomping around in their own shit, so could barely eat. I did, however, get stuck into he beer. We got a 'barrel' of Blue Tongue (see the pic), which while novel and economical, was a little suspect. By our second and then third barrel, the beer was visibly flat and watery. Despite this, we still had a great time at Gami. We were the only table upstairs so had use of the bathroom to ourselves - normally I wouldn't care about sharing the bathroom with other guests, but we had a lot of beer so as a result we a) had to use the facilities frequently; and b) really enjoyed messing around with shower facilities. To this day I still have no clue why a restaurant would have a shower... read more

Gami is hands down my favourite chicken place, and my favourite restaurant, for that matter, and for good reason. The food is always incredible. It is typically very busy, and it is a tad pricey, but I don't mind paying for such quality. Try it, and it'll be your new favourite restaurant too. read more

Gami Chicken and Beer - Korean Near Me - Melbourne, VIC

Gami is not the kind of place that messes around with flowery descriptions of their offerings. You order chicken. You order beer. You order corn cheese (described on the menu as "Simply corn and cheese"). Endless plates and baskets piled with juicy fried chicken pieces coated in crispy skinned goodness clutter the tables of friends meeting over a drumstick and a keg. The environment is a little stark and quite noisy on busy nights, so this is probably not the place for a romantic first date. However, it is the perfect end-of-week solution to line your belly before Friday night drinks. The refreshing house beer is cheap and compliments the chicken very well. Having sampled all flavours of chicken at Gami, the original still takes the cake. The spicy sauce is almost a little too spicy, but makes for an entertaining dining experience at the same time. The only down side is how messy it is - I might even carry wet wipes in my handbag next time! read more

KFC chicken is delicious compared to Sam Sam on Swanston. This place is fast, friendly, and they deliver fresh hot crispy Korean Fried Chicken. I love the Garlic Soy and the Sweet Chili sauces. Just chicken wings and the boneless are the 2 types we had. read more

Really nice simple dinner. Fried chicken comes a plenty, beer flows, simple meals that can soak up the alcohol after a night of debauchery, or coat the tummy in preparation for more libations. So much fun, good memories. Dishes are big, so make sure you share! read more

Looking for fried chicken!?!?! look no further! HANDS DOWN crispiest chooks in melbourne! PLACE/AMBIANCE: Cool. A little cramped inside when it is fully booked. But they do have outside seating (nice in summer, but no heater love - so cold in the winter). Best to order at the counter, because if its busy, i doubt that a waiter will come to you. PRICE: Great. You can get almost 30 wings for $30 Half original and half sauced! Beer is cheap too! Gotta get the beer with the wings! FOOD: highlight here is the chicken wings people. they get that nice "double fry pressure cooked crispy" going quite well. though, not the best korean chicken wing i tasted, it comes damn close! spring onion pancakes and other korean accoutrements can be ordered. but seriously pack the belly with chicken and beer and you will sleep merry! TIP: order a side of their special hot sauce - HAAWWWT SAUUUCE - $2 dollars for an awesome bowl of sauce that has kick, sweetness, and tangyness - compliments the original chicken very well. Bottom line. If i want good chicken with beer. Gami got me covered! read more

Hello, my name is Chris B., and I will be instructing some a short healthy eating class. We begin our session with a 4 litre Oak of beer. This brings hops, yeast and water to your diet. Share this with friends for maximum benefit, or drink it all yourself. Do what you want, I'm not your mother. This is followed up by (boneless, of course) fried chicken with a side of spicy sauce, and some honey mustard sauce. It's important to eat poultry, as well as vegetables (chilli), honey (mmm....honey) and mustard (whatever mustard counts as in the food pyramid). Now, while these ingredients are all well and good, it's important that they are prepared correctly to ensure maximum health benefits. Oil comes from plants, so it's gotta be good for you. Gami use just the right amount of oil (lots) in their loving preparation of your meal, so you can be sure it's going to help you lose that extra kilo, or tone up your abs, or help your pimples go away or whatever you're striving for. Basically, Gami is the bomb. Everything they do is amazing. Make a booking, or be prepared to find a drink nearby - they're probably full. I cannot recommend this place highly enough if you need a good feed. Recommended minimum party size: 2. read more

Sometimes I'm full of bad Idea's and sometimes I think they're going to be good. Attempting to eat a huge mountain bucket of fried chicken by myself perhaps isn't the best decision I've made. In end I had to call a friend to rescue me from too much chicken eating. It was pretty tough slog even halfway through. Gami does fantastic fried chicken though, Korean style, but at lunch time the menu is scant for options. Please note this is designed to be shared, and it must be, that much of fired boneless chicken is a lot. Share it. Glad I dined. read more

Love the spicy chicken here! I'm somewhat fussy when it comes to chicken and this place had been talked up by a few Yelpers but it didn't disappoint. Fun for a group of people... or by yourself for that quick chicken fix between meetings. If you're looking to grab some take away then I'd suggest you are better off hitting up the Colonel as I think Gami is strictly an eat in affair. Enjoy. read more

Just love it!!! The chicken is so tasty, I would be there every week if I could. They should have a vegetarian option though read more

I went wrong when coming here because even though I was with THREE other people, none of them were eating. To this day, I still do not understand how this happened. I really like the rice cake sticks, that was excellent. The chicken too was good, I didn't like that the sauce came on the side though, and was far from ample for the chicken you get. read more

Some of the tastiest, juiciest fried chicken I've ever had. Reminds me of Popeyes chicken in USA (that's a good thing.). I would recommend the 6 piece fried wings as an introduction. They do have rice as well, despite it not being on the menu. I tried the seafood omelette, but wasn't that impressed. This place is truly all about the fried chicken, no need to complicate things. read more

Chicken and Beer. One of the best fried chicken I have ever had. Makes me suspicious of what they do to the chicken to make it taste that good. I give them even more props for only using whole chickens and not just serving pieces of chickens like wings or breasts.

Popped in here with some old work friends to try out some fried chicken after a few drinks on a Friday night. The place was busy so we had to wait, approx 30 mins however it seemed like the wait went pretty quick. We were promptly seated upstairs and placed our orders for food, drink and rice. On the table they placed some shrimp crackers and some radish pickles to for us to nibble on while we waited. The wait was approx 30 mins, we were pretty ravenous by the time the chicken arrived. (Soju helped with that!) We had ordered the Original Korean Style fried chicken ($29). When the basket came out, it looked lovely, fresh and non greasy. Actually pretty as a picture! The first taste/fragrance I got was a hint of cinnamon but it was not overpowering at all. Yum. Decadent :) The other dish we ordered (there were 4 of us) was some Flavored Korean style fried chicken ($32). We chose the sweet soy garlic flavor (I wanted hot but others on the table were not fans of spice). This was lovely, had a pool of the sweet soy garlic sauce on the bottom however it did not render the chicken soggy at all, the chicken was crispy and hot, and moist inside. I had to ask for the rice as they had forgotten it but it came out quick. Each chicken basket was accompanied with a cabbage salad and radish pickles. The cabbage salad had a swirl of tomato sauce and (I think?) mayo sauce. It reminded me exactly of the kind of salad taste that you get on a Hungry Jacks burger (In a good way - it was very moreish and helped to break up the decadent flavor of fried chicken). We all enjoyed gorging on the chicken (I kind of used my hands - It's fried chicken and I don't have much patience with chopsticks!). We were all pretty full and happy by the end, 2 batches of chicken, rice and drinks filled us up well. Once we paid the bill I curiously asked the girl on the register if they cooked with MSG. She had no idea what MSG was (!)... went to ask another staff member who said probably not... haha who knows... a mystery for another day :). read more

It's a rather small place tucked in an alley amongst other eateries, but none of them have the same buzz as this place. Their menu consists of light snacks like kimchi pancakes, steamed eggs or corn cheese, which is basically corn with heaps, and heaps of melted cheese on top, and light meals too including Chicken Gizzards and Gol Bang Ei, which is cooked baitop shell with noodles. But forget all that! There's only one thing that everyone comes here for - fried chicken, Korean style. The chicken has this incredible thin, crunchy coating glazed in one of three flavours - Original, Soy Garlic, and Sweet Chilli. You can get a whole chicken for $27-$30 and it comes with pickled radish, and salad. This chicken is addictive and so perfectly cooked. My favourite is the Soy Garlic and find the Sweet Chilli a little to sweet after a while. The serving sizes are quite decent, after all it's a whole chicken, but if you're there with a few people you may want to order a couple of chickens or some extra sides. If you're lucky enough to live nearby, you can get it home delivered. Oh my, imagine the bliss of tucking into some Korean chicken while seated on your own comfy couch. read more

Gami totally nails that Korean fried chicken flavour - thick shell-like coating with a sweet aftertaste. And I should know, because I lived in Korea for a year and ate fried chicken nearly every week. The soy garlic flavour is a real treat. read more

Excellent fried chicken, I generally get the chicken ribs with spicy sauce as a Friday lunch treat. Unlike other Korean fried chicken, the sauce isn't too sweet and the coleslaw is fresh and crispy. Sometimes they even throw in a little container of the pickled turnip, which works great to cut through the fat. read more

This place does chicken and beer and they do it well...the garlic soy is my favourite as long as you have a keg to wash it down with...

Over kfc? Well then come here for some flavoured fried chicken that's on offer; spicy and sweet soy or the original fried. The price is pretty good $30 for a whole chicken for half flavours if you'd prefer that or you can just have 1 flavour. Great place to hang out with your friends, grab a cheap bite and predrink before heading out to town. They do kegs of 4L beer for $40. Awesome way to let loose on a friday after work. My favourite dish is the teobokki and corn cheese. Sooooo good read more

'GAMI Chicken and Beer' As this restaurants name suggests ........CHICKEN AND BEER! To be more specific the menu offers deep fried Korean chicken in three flavours, original, sweet chilli, and soy garlic and the beer is either the GAMI house beer or Bluetongue. Seriously if you're on a diet or going to complain about a non-vegan option go else where. This is a heart stoppingly delicious concept where the menu offering is minimal and it works. Its a good place for a small group to order a few platters of chicken and get messy, literally, this is hand food. Jugs of beer are cheap at $13.50 and there is also better value with the mini keg option for around $35. This restaurant sits in the pointy "rarely" section of the food pyramid, however its definitely worth a visit for a fun dining experience with friends. read more

Kind of hyped up from everyone who has raved about this place to me. Granted, it is good fried chicken, but I don't think it's as spectacular as it could be. Perhaps it is a novelty to have a restaurant that focuses solely on Korean Fried Chicken - although you can get a whole bunch of other food on the side, like kimchi pancakes and rice cakes and cheesy corn, the focus is clearly on the chicken. The menu is pretty easy to understand - it's written out in a cute flow chart. Basically you can go for a whole chicken for around $34 or a half chicken $18 or wings. We wanted to be economical, so we went for a whole chicken and got two flavors, original fried and garlic soy. I really really loved the garlic soy flavor. My only complaint is that the white meat parts are just really bland and dry. Obviously a whole chicken involves both the dark and white meat, but those bits were just really disappointing and bland. Even my garlic soy sauce couldn't combat the arid desert that was the chicken breast. Also, it must have just been us, because we waited a good 30-40 minutes for our chicken to arrive after ordering, while the couple that sat next to us sat down maybe 20 minutes after we did, yet got their food right after we did. Unfair for really hungry people!! PS the beer is really good value. We got a jug (around 1.1L) of beer for 14.50, and if you are with a bunch of friends, you can get an oak (4L) for like $46. Amazing and goes great with fried chicken. Would maybe come back if I ever craved fried chicken on this level..but would stick with wings for full effect. Fried chicken breast is not the business. read more

I love Gami but I am rating 1 star particularly for this branch purely because of their poor service. Went there for late dinner around 2030. I ordered boneless chicken with mixed sauces, spicy and soy garlic and chips. I asked the waiter for less of the spicy sauce but more of the garlic. He said No. I advised him that I've been to Glenferrie and King St branches and they were happy to do it. He said he would ask the chef. He went to place the order on the iPad and came back saying the chef said No......??? I could have walked out but my partner didn't want to make a fuss. I didn't ask for more chicken. It's simply the sauce.....i didn't understand why. Anyway, the foods took a lot longer than other branches though they were not busy. When the chicken was arriving we prepared the table coz the plate is large and long....i am a regular. The same waiter just dumped the plate on the edge of the table, didn't even bother arranging it to the space we prepared. ... how rude. I won't stop going to Gami but will never to back to this branch again. Bad service. Please train your staff. read more

Delicious fried chicken, the hot marinade was too hot for me to handle but that's not a negative overall. The soy garlic was delicious. Very reasonably priced and very quick. Definitely made to order and share, we of us ate a whole chicken plus 6 wings. I'll be going back for seconds. read more

Worst Korean experience in my life. I've been to Korea and love eating Korean food everywhere in the world. This is the 1st time I've encountered such rude service (person at the cashier). He is not at all trained to deal with people at all. With the food, the chicken was raw. It was replaced, we got some cheese on corn but we had to wait for so long for the chicken yet again. It came in slightly raw again. Maybe they need to rest it? It was unbelievable a restaurant with 3 or 4 branches haven't gotten this right. I guess things have gone downhill since the last time i ate here. Was a bit excited showing this place off to my friends. :( gami, if u don't get your act together, say goodbye to melbs and hello to Nene Chicken on your way out. read more
