We've been coming here since they first opened and are still loyal customers. The food is always solid. Their chicken is crispy but not greasy, which is hard to find. We really like both the soy garlic and galbi flavors -- both are super tasty. Lately we've also been into their pizza, and even our kids gave it a thumbs up. The place is clean, service is friendly, and the vibe is nice. At night it's a fun spot to grab a beer too, so it works well for both families and younger crowds. read more

Called a togo order. As I'm writing this review. It is still not ready. The person who took the order said 20 minutes. The little girl doing the orders or taking orders has some little attitude also. Poor service read more

Goobne Chicken Fullerton - Korean Near Me - Fullerton, California

What a mess. Web ordered. Ordered 3-4 flavors. Got a call saying only 2 flavors but 3 max. Ok fixed. Got a text saying order was ready. Arrived within 5 minutes of notice. Waited for the front to finally come out from the back after waiting a couple of minutes. Was told order not ready and it would take an additional 10 minutes more. Still waiting in the parking lot. Hopefully the food will make up for the crappy customer service. Dear owner please hire some staff during dinner rush. One cook and one person serving two tables with five additional people waiting for their to-go orders. Not the way to make loyal customers. But the chicken was really good so upped a star! read more

Decent place for a quick lunch or dinner. The fried rice is very well seasoned. The ramen and rice cake are a bit bland read more

Goobne was a spot my friends and I had been wanting to try after seeing their Ultimate UFO dish all over TikTok. The presentation alone looked so interesting, so we were really curious to see if it actually lived up to the hype. The Ultimate UFO is honestly a great dish to share. It can probably serve 3-4 people depending on how hungry everyone is, but the three of us split it and it was definitely filling. One thing that also makes it worth it is the price. The dish is $48.99, and when split among three people it comes out to about $16.33 per person before tax, which honestly isn't too bad considering how much food you get. The dish comes with a mix of different flavors and textures, which makes it really fun to eat and share. One of the highlights for me was the rice cakes. They were super chewy, and when they were mixed with the melted cheese it made every bite really rich and flavorful. The cheese adds that creamy, stretchy texture that makes the whole dish even better. The chicken flavors we tried were soy garlic and galbi, and both were really good. The galbi had a nice savory sweetness to it, while the soy garlic had that classic balance of salty and garlicky flavor that makes it really addictive. Out of the two, though, I think all of us preferred the soy garlic because the flavor was just so well balanced and easy to keep eating. The restaurant itself is also pretty clean and spacious, which made the experience comfortable. The layout doesn't feel cramped, so it's a nice place to come with a group and share food together. The workers were also very nice and welcoming, which always makes a place feel more enjoyable to dine in. read more

There were plenty of parking spaces. When we walked in, one of the staff was in the middle of an argument with another customer, which wasn't the best first impression. We were seated without much of a wait since there was only one other table when we arrived. After ordering, the food took a while to come out since they're baked. The staff offered sauces in a way that made it seem like they were included with the chicken, but we later found out that we were charged for them. The same thing happened with radish. We weren't told that it would be extra charge so it was disappointing to see the charge on the check. There wasn't much of a check-in from the staff during our meal, and the overall service felt unfriendly. As for the food, the chicken was okay, but the pizza was overcooked and dry. Overall, the experience could've been better, especially with clearer communication and more attentive service. read more

If you love KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) but want something lighter, you have to try this place. They serve Korean grilled chicken with the same bold flavors you'd expect from KFC, just without the fried coating. Super tasty and a great alternative! It was Super Bowl weekend, so things were a bit backed up, but the service was still solid overall. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Oven fried wings have the same crispiness as fried wings without feeling too greasy. It also doesn't have excessive breading on the outside so you can really taste the flavor and the chicken more. Orders can take a while so I suggest calling in for pickup! The wings also transfer pretty well surprisingly so it'll still be great when eaten at home. Pepper Crispy - savory but slightly sweet with a light kick, it's a dry rub but it tastes very juicy Soy Garlic - sweet and salty balance, wet rub and still a little crispy Honey Butter Crisp Fries - really addicting with its combination of sweet, salty and savory; the sweet mayo dipping sauce kinda takes it to a whole other level read more

I've always heard good things about this place and I've been curious to try it after it replaced the old Korean Fried Chicken spot that used to be here. We got Honey Butter Fries and the combo of Medium Soy Garlic and Medium Sweet & Spicy Wings. The fries were definitely too sweet for my liking, the regular fries would've sufficed! The flavors of the chicken surprised me because it was very different than what I would expect since I ordered staple flavors. When we went up to pay, we were given a receipt for a QR code to pay. I was confused why the staff member couldn't have taken our card and processed the payment on their tablet. I'm not sure if I would come again since I don't think the texture of oven baked is for me. The music played in the restaurant had good selections so it did curate good vibes here! read more

Goobne is a chain establishment from Korea, famous for its crispy oven-baked chicken. I haven't gotten the chance to try it when I visit the motherland, so I was excited that they opened a location in OC. I came here for a weekday lunch and asked if we could grab one of the tables on their patio since we had our dog with us. The workers were very accommodating and quickly set up a table outside. For the three of us, we ordered half & half wings with original and pepper crispy, tteokbokki, and honey butter fries. Tteokbokki and fries were standard, but the chicken was super juicy and crispy! I couldn't believe they were oven-baked because of how crispy the skin was. Pepper crispy (gochu basasak) is the most popular flavor in Korea and it really didn't disappoint! There was a perfect amount of kick from the pepper and it paired really well with the mayo-based sauce it came with. The food came out a bit slow and service was spotty, although we were the only party in the restaurant for most of our time there, but I think they had a lot of pick-up/delivery orders. I think Goobne is a perfect spot to grab some Korean chicken without the guilt! read more

This Goobne is located in a lowkey plaza with parking. They specialize in Korean oven-roasted chicken, pizza, and rice bowls. I tried a few things. The galbi rice bowl was very filling and worth the price. It came with a generous amount of protein, and came out very quickly - perfect when waiting for the roasted chicken. The galbi pizza was also delicious and included many toppings. However, the taste gets repetitive overtime, so it's more meant for sharing with larger groups. My favorite was the original chicken. It took time to come out. Medium size is good for 1-2 people - it comes with 8 pieces. It's fragrant and the seasonings aren't overpowering. It came with an orange spicy sauce and some picked radish. Overall, I'd come back to try their other roasted chicken flavors. read more

Takeout order - Great place for chicken wings! Loved that the chicken is not heavily breaded but was still crispy (even after the drive home). Ordered the medium size crispy pepper and a medium size original and both were solid. 8 wings per medium size order, which was just enough food for my husband and I (not overstuffed but satisfied). The wings were a good size but we did receive a wing that was fairly small so your sizing may vary. Overall would come again! I didn't feel heavy after eating the fried chicken, which is what I would normally feel so that's a huge plus. read more

It's a bit on the pricier side, but it's my son's absolute favorite! He loves the roasted, healthy texture and can't stop talking about the garlic sauce. It's less greasy than fried chicken, making it a great option for a family meal. We'll definitely be back because the kids keep asking for it! read more

Came here with some friends and despite being the only ones there the food did take some time (so keep that in mind since the wings are oven baked), but it's definitely a healthier alternative than just fried wings. We also got the rose tteokbokki which was yummy and the seasoned waffle fries were pretty good. Plenty of seating (outdoor also available), and the staff was nice! read more

As I continue on my Korean fried chicken kick, I had to dig in on Goobne. Apparently their chicken is oven roasted. The flavor was definitely all there. The quality was definitely present. The heavy price reflects the quality of their food and the status that comes with their name. No regrets on this first visit, and I can say I look forward to another. Honey Butter Crispy: Likely my favorite of the three we tried. The chick who handled our table highly recommended it and I have no shame following through on it. A sweet taste with the ideal crispy exterior feel - PERFECTLY prepared chicken coming off that bone. Galbi: I am not huge on spicy food and was told the galbi chicken would have a little kick. This said, I have either stepped my game up or someone over exaggerated their feelings. The chicken came with a slight kick, but it was a healthy and savory balance of spice and sweetness. A solid combination. Original: An appealing choice for those looking to live life simply. Quality chicken with no overwhelming flavor but a classy taste. If you can look past and ignore the bill, you will find yourself dining on pure pleasure. read more

Delivery: Uber eats. Arrived early Baguette bowl Ate this first, split it with my husband. We ate it so fast there is no pic! It's like a garlic roll with cream inside. Wonderful Garlic chicken fried rice Pepperoncinis were so good. I really like this as a whole meal. It doesn't need anything else. Not so sure about the garlic part though. It didn't give an overwhelming garlic flavor but probably just added to the complex flavors of the whole dish. I even like the salad dressing that came with the little salad. Pepper crispy wings The outside was crunchy and the meat juicy, as advertised. Seasoning was good and had a little kick. We bought a bunch of sauces to try out, so it was fun to mix and match with the wings Sauces: Galbi Soy Garlic Spicy mayo Sweet and Spicy All of these were good. My favorite was the soy garlic and sweet and spicy. My husband enjoyed the Galbi and spicy mayo. Hard to explain each, you would just have to try them! We will be ordering from here again... read more

Welcome to juicy town. I don't know what Goobne means or stands for but I shall create my own translation. Goobne is juicy town to me. Heard this place is famous, which is cool and all, but I judge it for myself and this place is worth the hype. Chicken wings that are crispy and friggin hella juicy made me question how they do it. The pepper wings were flavorful and not over powering which made it a favorite at the table. The original had the same texture and juiciness but was just kinda basic in flavor. The orangish sauce they give you though really kicked it up. Salad was just okay, in the house so no complaints. Service was really great, would love to see this kinda of attention and friendliness at other eating places now days. Congrats, you just got kicked to a five in my book for your staff and cleanliness. Will absolutely be back. read more

Came here to have lunch with my coworkers! I decided to order the lunch bowl, which can be customized with Volcano or Galbi chicken. Aside from our entrees, we were also given a bowl of salad to munch on as we waited. My bowl was underwhelming, as it felt like just sauce, chicken, and rice. It's a pretty decent portion for around $11 though. I will say - their unique aspect is that their chicken is oven roasted! I tried a wing, and was surprised by the crunch it still had. Not sure if I would return, but an interesting take on chicken! read more

I went back and forth on writing this review, but the experience was so wildly out of pocket that it felt irresponsible not to share. Our side salad arrived with a live worm crawling through it. We pointed it out and the waitress thanked us. It was unclear which of us had misunderstood the situation. She later explained the bug was there because they don't use pesticides. From that explanation, we gathered the vegetables were also not washed. No apology followed. Then the ddukbokki arrived in what I can only describe as soup. Not saucy. Not brothy. Just a full-on aquatic experience where the rice cakes were floating freely. I asked if it could be remade. Instead, they drained some of the water and added more sauce, then sent it back out as an overcooked, soggy mess. Between the roaming wildlife, the waterlogged food, and the lack of accountability,I left with more questions than answers. Chicken is good tho read more

Stopped by Goobne Chicken in Fullerton on a Saturday around 5:30 PM. It wasn't too busy at first, just a few tables occupied but it definitely picked up not long after we ordered. We also noticed a lot of people coming in for takeout, so it seems like a popular spot even if it's kind of tucked away in a quieter area. Parking was super easy, free and open, which is always a win. The staff were friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in, which made the experience feel really welcoming. The menu is on the smaller side, but it has some solid options. We tried the peppered wings and the volcano pizza. The wings were so juicy and perfectly baked, packed with flavor, and definitely a highlight. The pizza had a good spicy kick and was tasty, but it was on the heavier side. I could only manage two slices, so maybe better shared if you're not super hungry. Overall, I'd recommend giving it a try. Especially if you're craving Korean style wings in a chill, low-key spot. read more

This is the cutest little Korean restaurant on this side of town. The patio is very open and light up nice. Inside is very clean and average loudness with popular music and tv playing. The service is friendly and decent but did I not like charged $1.50 for 1 oz of volcano hot sauce for the rice to spice it up a notch. I definitely enjoyed the presentation of the chicken fried rice with Scrambled egg!! Good stuff!! Peas, carrots, onion, Lima beans. Very flavorful and portion is for 1 person. Comes with a plain lettuce salad, with light to nothing thin regular dressing. Since I'm watching calorie intake, I'm still thinking if I liked that?? (Maybe a diluted, soft vinegar it seemed.) Everything tasted really good and freshly made and it's walking distance so I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Ordered a medium size soy garlic wings. It took about 15 minutes to make but the chicken was sooo crispy. The flavor was like a sweet and savory garlic sauce which is my favorite. It has a very very slight mild kick, and I think I would've liked a bit more of a kick. I can't wait to try different flavors. I do appreciate how crispy the chicken was and it didn't make you feel gross after like normal fried chicken does! read more

Goobne chicken is one of the best restaurant in Fullerton, California. The pepper crispy 고추바사삭 chicken is one of the best chicken your can eat. The entire chicken is never fried but oven roasted. This is one of my favorite food to eat. Its so healthy and completely protein. I'm a big fan of Goobne Chicken. The owner is beautiful person with good heart minded. If you are craving for a good chicken, try this place. For me its: Original or Pepper Crispy. read more

I remember when it was Thank You Chicken before and I got to know the owners. A bit of nostalgia for me. They suddenly closed and the place was empty for a bit until I saw the sign saying Goobne, a chain in Korea, was coming. After a year plus of finally telling myself I was going to try it, I finally did. Pros 1. I could taste the natural freshness 2. Good amount of flavor. Ordered the original and soy garlic 3. Friendly service 4. Very clean Cons 1. On the pricier side 2. I think it's cheaper to phone in your order rather than ordering online because it's through third party apps. The location is very convenient for me as I drive through the area a lot. With so many Korean fried chicken restaurants in Buena Park, Fullerton and even La Mirada/La Habra, it's always good to have options. read more

Went here with a group of 6 friends and we got the UFO fried rice galbi flavored, Large Soy Garlic Wings, Medium Original Wings, and the Honey Butter Waffle Fries! Food Overall- 4.5/5 The wings I'd give a 5/5! They were all super juicy and tender. The soy garlic wings were good but not as fresh as the original wings that came out a bit after. I dipped the original wings in the remainder sauce from the soy garlic wings. The Galbi flavored fried rice was quite yummy and flavorful and thought it was very worth it for its price! I'd give it a 4.5/5. The fries were just ok. It wasn't that hot or fresh by the time it came out and the powder wasn't super evenly coated. It was just kinda scooped on. 2/5 Service 1/5 - The service was what I'd knock off the most points for cause it was not very good. We originally waited outside for a bigger table but they asked us if we wanted to sit outside but never offered us the table until we went inside to ask again. Once we sat down, we had to go to the front to ask for menus ourselves, to ask for the check ourselves, etc. The waitress just never came to our table unless it was to drop off the food. We waited around 20-25 minutes for the chicken and when we ordered another order afterwards, it took 20-25 minutes again. They're not rude. They're just not very observant or helpful. Overall, the food is great and definitely worth trying! Just keep in mind, the service is quite lacking and slow so you may need to take initiative to grab their attention. read more

This has to be my new favorite Korean fried chicken place. This place is different from others because they oven cook their chicken. I got the volcano pizza and medium honey butter wings. The wings were NOT dry at all and the seasoning was very tasty. The seasoning wasn't too salty as well. The pizza wasn't too spicy and had corn, chicken, and cheese toppings. I wasn't too much of a fan of the pizza but the crust of the pizza was very good. The pizza is very big and shareable, so I recommend this if eating in with a big group of people. Service was amazing, and the waitresses were very attentive to our table. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

We ordered: -Half soy (8pcs) Half Galbi (8pcs): 7/10 Side of white rice Waffle fries: 1/10 fries were cold, over fried and caked with sugar, way too much seasoning they should just keep it simple Ranch: $1 he charged me for a ranch that was expired didn't even use it after the first dip Dooboki with noodles: 8/10 Bill: $75.00 Not worth the hype but glad we tried it.

Was very surprised at how amazing oven roasted wings tasted and tasted nothing like rotisserie chicken. Each wing and drumstick was large, flavorful, and juicy. Favorites were original, sweet and spicy, pepper, volcano. They give complimentary mixed salad which was also great. Definitely new favorite wing spot. Service was quick and kind.

One star. I am extremely disappointed and upset. I brought my friend here because this used to be my favorite chicken spot. We ordered a lot of chicken, trusting it would be safe, but there was no allergen information anywhere. No signs. No warnings. Nothing. The pepper crispy had peanut in it with no indication at all. My friend has a peanut allergy and ended up having an allergic reaction. His throat became irritated and started closing up. This is not just careless. In many states this can be considered a health violation because restaurants are required to give accurate allergen information and not mislead customers about ingredients. This could have turned into a medical emergency. This completely broke my trust. read more

Came on a Friday night at 7 for 5 people and just came in time for it to have no wait but got filled shorty after. We ordered the ultimate UFO which has 2 flavors of chicken and cheese tteokbokki. Tteokbokki was probably the worst I've ever had as it was super watery and only had like 6 pieces of tteok(rice cake). The pepper crunch chicken had a nice flavor but sweet and spicy was kind of packet/artificial tasting. Also got soy garlic wings that had a bit of a burnt garlic flavor which was disappointing since that's usually my fav flavor. Galbi fried rice was also a miss because it tastes similar to Costco fried rice and even had the same vegetables too so a little sus. Worst part is that it took 45 mins to get our food! Not even the rice came first so we were just getting refills on the salad. This place maybe be an option if u want a healthier alternative to fried chicken, but if you're gonna get chicken save yourself the trip and stick with fried lol. read more

Went to lunch here last week. Tried the baguette bowl, spicy teobokki and the wings. The cheesy bread was so good! The cheese was fluffy and I almost thought it was butter. We tried 4 flavors of wings: original, pepper crispy, sweet & spicy and soy garlic. My favorite was the soy garlic, not too sweet and with a little spicy. The sweet and spicy was also flavorful but a little too sweet for me. All wings were cooked nicely, perfect temperature and not dry. The teobokki was not bad although a little too much fish cake for my taste and I wish the sauce would have been just a little thicker. Overall great lunch place. We were a party of five and got full with 2 half and half plates. They also have boneless wings option if you do not lol the bone. The place was also very clean and not crowded. We did go on a rainy day so that could've affected the crowd factor. Will definitely go back and try the other flavors. If you are a wing fanatic, definitely try this place. read more

Craving fried chicken but didn't want to feel the guilty and had this place in mind! I've been watching my Korean drama and they had this restaurant in there and they actually brought it over to Fullerton! The original was good and pepper cheese was interesting but not bad at all. At the end I didn't feel guilty at all! Enjoyed their salad and radish that it came with. They're also playing the most recent kdrama I've been watching also and that's a huge plus.
