Highlights: Pepper crispy chicken, soy garlic chicken I was amazed by how crispy the chicken was, despite it being oven-baked rather than fried. Since it's not fried, it feels much lighter and less greasy, which makes it clean and flavorful. The Pepper crispy flavor is absolutely the best, spicy and perfectly crispy. Meanwhile, the Soy Garlic is my 3-year-old daughter's favorite. The Mentaiko Pasta is not only incredibly flavorful but also comes in a generous portion. My only complaint is that many of the menu items lean slightly on the sweeter side. Still, the food is clean and delicious, and the service is always incredibly friendly. This has become a place I take my daughter to from time to time. A quick tip; eating there in person is much better than taking it to go, the freshness makes a huge difference! read more

I'm blown away by this place. Seriously, DONT MISS OUT ON THIS PLACE. As they advertise, it's over roasted so it doesn't have that thick coating of batter doused in oil. Don't get me wrong, I love that. But the pepper crispy had a crunch that was beyond what even some fried chicken joints advertise. Plus, the wings were literally the fattest and juiciest pieces of chicken I've ever had. I got the half and half, and it was great to have the option to try two flavors. I can't get enough of this! Might go back tomorrow. Wait staff were so kind. Friendly and checked in on us a few times, tactful to give us more napkins or water. They have a room all in black, and a room that has a bunch of sunlight. Loved the contrast. They have parking valet for $4. read more

Goobne Chicken - Half and Half & Half - Chicken Wings Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been patronizing Goobne since they opened their KTown location. It's a dream come true to be able to taste and order healthy and tasty chicken wings that I initially watched on "Business Proposal". The ambiance is very modern and hip, which suits their innovative menu. I phoned a half and half order of Galbi wings and Soy Garlic wings. Depending on how busy they get, it usually takes 20-30 minutes for an order to be ready. My order was fresh and ready at the promised pick up time. I brought these wings to my lunch potluck at work and it seems like my colleagues enjoyed it. Both the soy garlic and galbi wings were flavorful, juicy, tender and did not miss out on the umami. Goobne Chicken is chef's kiss and I'll keep coming back. Perhaps, one of these days I will dine-in with my family and friends at this restaurant. They are my most favorite innovative, healthy Korean chicken place in KTown! read more

I'm about to get on my health grind by eating Korean oven-baked wings instead of fried ones. I tried all of the flavors they offered except pepper crispy and my favorites were definitely the volcano, soy garlic, and sweet and spicy. That said, the galbi and original dipped in the sauce wasn't bad either. What made the saucy wings even better was the cheese dip. I've seen so many people try this on Instagram and even one of the waiters recommended that I wrap the wing with the cheese. It was actually a lot better than I thought because the cheese was pretty tangy and sharp as opposed to mild. I wish I knew what type of cheese it was because it was delicious. The interior design is stunning and the space is huge. There's a seating area downstairs with plenty of tables but also a beautiful private blacked-out room. Then, as you go up the staircase, there's more tables indoors and a spacious outdoor patio. They're having the grand opening this weekend so I can't imagine how packed and popular this place will get within the next few months. Street parking is tough but they do have valet for $3. read more

Food: 4 stars Service: 5 stars (for take out only) My sister told me about this place, and we finally tried their chicken this past Saturday. Ordered takeout on early Saturday night, and both phone and in-person services were great. Our food was also ready when I arrived. Took about 20-25 minutes for phone order. Overall, I would say this place is a hit or miss since our family all gave 3 - 4 stars and said they would go back to other Korean fried chickens. We ordered two half & half as follows: original & volcano wings, and soy garlic & pepper crispy wings. Of the four, my first pick was soy garlic. Other family members picked pepper crispy and volcano. Original barely had any flavors, it was too plain for me. Wings are definitely bigger than other places, and all wings were cooked perfectly. But unfortunately, it was a miss for our family. 치킨은 잘 구워졌는데, 양념맛이 뭔자 부족한 느낌. 오리지날은 넘 심심한 느낌이였고. 간이 세지 않아 좋아 할 사람들도 있을거 같아서, 여긴 호불호가 갈릴 듯. 치킨은 역시 후라이드가 낫다는 생각을 들게 함. read more

The pricing is pretty steep for chicken wings. At $34.99, that is almost $3 per wing. The sauces were okay, but likely contradicts the 'healthy' marketing aspect. The gochujang chicken pasta ($19.45) was pretty good. The mac and cheese ($4.45) left a lot to be desired. The pickled radish ($2.00) lacked crunch and portions were small and you have to pay extra for more servings. Add a 9.5% tax and the typical Korean restaurant service, you may question whether or not this Korean chicken experience is worth it. It was nice to try this Korean chain restaurant and see what the hype is. Plenty of seating and the restaurant is quite spacious. Mandatory valet parking fee even if you parked the car. Total: $90.29 post-tax and tip read more

I had Goobne since I've already tried lots of great Korean FRIED chicken places before but this time I wanted to go for a healthier alternative, and this place did not disappoint at all. A Korean American friend was the one that recommended it. I tried the boneless galbi seasoning one but there's also the Sweet & Spicy and the Pepper Crispy one. The flavor alone is totally worth it. Although I still love deep fried chicken, I think with this roasted method you get more actual meat per pound. The boxes that the chicken come in are also super cool and practical for takeout and overall it was definitely worth the price (the portions are so big, you'll definitely have leftovers for the next day as well!) read more

everything I had here was sooooo delicious!! my favorites were the soy garlic and the galbi . even though these wings are healthier because they are oven roasted instead of fried, the texture is so amazingly crispy and delicious, and even better than the classic fried ones imo if you're looking for a healthier but delicious alternative to your favorite fried foods, this spot is for you!! When I first walked in the servers were so so friendly and enthusiastic about what they served, eagerly pointing out what flavors they recommend. The interior is very sleek and modern and there is actually a ton of seating! I loved the patio on the second floor, it was really nice to sit outside and enjoy the meal. In addition to the chicken, I was able to try their fondue cheese, which was so amazing with the chicken. The cheese pull was *chefs kiss* and so chewy. The Mac and cheese was also a good addition to the salty, sweet chicken. All in all, I had a great time and would highly recommend goobne! read more

Got the Half and Half Boneless (thigh meat) Soy Garlic (left) - juicy tender chicken. Saucy. Yum! Pepper Crispy (right) - burnt and hard skin, but the meat inside was semi tender. I think I just got a bad batch? Other people's Pepper crispy order looked more golden brown, but mine was delivered blackish brown. Tasted burnt and kind of flavorless. Maybe I will give this place another shot and try different flavors. I do really enjoy boneless chicken more than bone in. Can't leave a note about the ambiance since I got it delivered. read more

Tried out this new Ktown location both takeout and dine in. I would have to say food was amazing! I originally was not fond of oven roasted chicken but this place is recommended. We ordered the pepper chicken, galbi and soy garlic boneless and was flavorful. Also try out the garlic pasta and the chicken tacos they are new on the menu and go well with the meal as well. Service was awesome, staff were friendly and the interior provided wide open space. Great vibe overall. read more

Staffs are extremely friendly but apologetic as it took over an hour to get the food to our table‍ But it seems like that s how it is all the time (as I attempted to visit multiple times - always 30-60min wait to get the food) regardless of how busy they are. BUT THE CHICKEN IS OG I tasted a bit of Korea here. The sauce lacks of bit compared to what I use to have in Korea but just glad to have Goobne in KTOWN. But the onion rings and waffle fries are waste of money. Too much breading and rather soggy than anything near crispy. read more

I had the creamy chicken burrito and korean pesto pasta! I had gotten delivery from this place ever since they opened, but when their side menus opened up I just had to come in to try it in person. The service was amazing, all the servers were really sweet and attentive, and the food was even better! The vibes and ambiance is so much better than the pictures. For chicken I recommend the original or soy garlic, and for the sides you HAVE to try the pesto pasta. Highly recommend this new hot spot in LA! read more

Where has Goobne been all of my life! I love Korean chicken wings and Goobne is one of my favorites! They make oven baked wings which is different from most others in LA which are deep friend. They are so juicy and seasoned very well. Whether you get dry rub or a sauce, it will be jam-packed with flavor. I also love how they cut the legs so it can lay flat when baked, giving it a nice crispy texture. So smart! Also, their Goobne sauce is crack. It's amazing on everything. Also, they give you a salad free with your order! The restaurant itself is kind of out of the main Ktown area but it's worth the trek. They only have valet but you can try street parking. Inside is very big, spacious, and clean. Staff are nice too! read more

One of my buddies brought me to try authentic korean chicken and boy was it worth it. The place is really nice, clean and can fit a lot of people. Service was great and everyone was very nice. I usually like fried chicken but honestly id have to say i might start eating oven baked because of how food this place was. We got wings and boneless. 10/10 would definitely recommend to everyone read more

A great alternative for those who are craving chicken, but don't want to eat deep-fried food. My only critique is that it is a bit pricey for what it is (especially if you are someone who needs to eat more volume to get full), but I did enjoy the three types of flavors of chicken that I got to try: original, spicy, soy garlic Very juicy and cooked to perfection! read more

Goobne Chicken - Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Worst Korean chicken that I've ever had. I've been seeing this place and getting some hypes on social media and decided to order take out. I think the location used to be a cafe or medical office. I can't exactly remember but I appreciated that it had it's own parking lot without valet for pick up. That means a lot in Ktown. I got half and half boneless chicken combo with sweet & spicy and galbi seasoning. I also ordered their garlic baguette. The chicken was sooooooo bland. Like soooo bland. They didn't brush enough sauce. I think they grill a lot of thigh/leg meat and just brush the sauces on top so that sauces don't burn. Worst mistake. You should bake it with the sauces so that flavors get inside of the chicken and chicken gets nice char outside. Also, chicken had unpleasant smell and skins were not that great. I think any chicken teriyaki from teriyaki restaurants would have been better than this place. They give a lot of chicken though. We had one piece each and threw away the rest. Garlic baguette is garlic baguette. It was so small for 6 bucks though. With so many good Korean fried chicken places in Ktown, I do not see this place surviving. read more

If you want a slightly healthier alternative to Korean fried chicken, there's Goobne Chicken! Goobne Chicken oven-roasts their chicken and is a famous franchise in Korea. I've only called in my orders, so can't speak for service, but my orders were usually ready in about 20ish minutes. The flavors I've tried are pepper crispy, galbi, and soy garlic. My fave was the pepper crispy. It's the most popular flavor and for good reason! One thing I noticed last time I ordered was that the size of chicken wings for the pepper crispy were much larger in comparison to the galbi flavored ones... A side of their special sauce to dip your chicken in along with pickled radishes will accompany your chicken order. I'm seeing a lot of mentions about the fondue cheese, so I guess I'll have to try it next time! read more

Other reviews were right. They are the worst fried chicken I've ever had in Los Angeles! There's a reason why they were so empty on a weekend night. Mind blown with their audacity to serve raw chicken. They need to switch things up asap... Have a strong feeling half of these 5 star reviews are all fake.. Won't come back to eat your filthy garbage that you call "food". Embarrassing towards the K-food culture. read more

Very good healthy chicken. I like that the chicken is not drenched in sauce and all flavors are not too salty. The meat is inside is juicy, yes. Shout out to the server with glasses and black apron. She was very helpful. Thank you guys. read more

The chicken itself is fine. They bake their chicken so the taste is very clean yet still very juicy. However, I ordered takeout through Grubhub on Yelp and I scheduled a pickup order, yet when I got to the restaurant at the pick up time, I had to wait another 37 minutes for my chicken. The people were nice, but still, 37 minutes. read more

The chicken was great! But the operation and service definitely needs some help asap! Everyone looks so lost and having it being a 2 storey building with a small parking lot is definitely tough to come and dine. You will be lucky if you found street parking or lived near the location. I definitely would recommend to-going your chicken! Just for tips, don't order the fries if you are to-going. The fries get really soggy. We had to toss it into the air fryer once we got home! read more

The hype is definitely worth it!! All their chicken had a great crisp but was also so juicy on the inside.

Aside from that, Goobne is a must try! read more

I've been wanting to try this place and it was delicious. Very spacious. A very optimized experience as you can order on tablets and the waitress will bring food, you can call if you need assistance, but otherwise they leave you alone to enjoy your food, company/ experience. The chicken wings were so juicy and I didn't feel sluggish as usual after eating fried chicken (as these are oven baked and not fried). It's not deep fried crispy, though it is very juicy tender, and there is a crispiness out the outer skin. Would definitely come back with company, or alone. read more

Not only is every flavor of chicken high quality and tasty, you can also pair with sides such as cheese fondue, mac & cheese, and white radish. My favorite is definitely the Volcano - I would say it definitely has a kick of spice but it's enjoyable (less spicy than the OG Buldak flavor for sake of comparison). As for ambiance, Goobne is very clean, modern, and roomy with an upstairs area and patio. The customer service is also amazing and the staff are all so sweet and attentive! read more

It was great chicken. Huge portions. Great flavour on the sauce. Service was excellent. Was super clean inside. But the audacity of having a parking lot and making it valet ONLY IS JUST... ruuude. Given their location you are limited to coughing up the three dollars to have some idiot park your car three feet away from the entrance or driving up and down the sketchy part of 3rd st for blocks and blocks to park at a meter probably next to a sidewalk tent. read more

Incredible chicken. Some of the juiciest chicken ive had, very light very cravable perfect when you want chicken but are also dont want to scarf down 1000 calories. the service was also very nice and attentive too. this place feels like a hidden gem. its tucked away in a little strip mall , very clean ambiance and plenty of seating. their lunch special always keeps me going back read more

Ordered takeout and it was fast! Chicken itself is good and tastes similar to the one in Korea. The only problem is that we got some undercooked chicken. The flats seemed okay, but the drums were definitely pink inside :( We understand because they just opened up, but we just hope they know so no one gets sick from eating undercooked chicken without knowing. read more

Amazing quality food to get a chicken fix without feeling like trash after. Not too salty. Pepper is my fav. The staff is sweet. Wait times can get long (30m+) on popular nights so plan ahead.

After hearing some good reviews decided to try. Ordered half half wings. Pieces of chicken are big, but that's about the only plus. Chicken is extremely dry. I'm a Michelin trained chef and can tell either is par cooked beforehand and sitting out a long time or they're seriously overcooking it. For 42 bucks I expect a lot better. Flavors I ordered were dry pepper and soy garlic, was just alright. On the bland side and the soy garlic just tasted sweet. Prob won't be coming back read more
