Had some take out today. The golden noori fried chicken is excellent and the fishcake soup hit the spot that only a street vendor in Korea could. Excellent Korean soul food, def gonna be a go to now for me Just no magic sprinkle on anything, ever read more

And my son was swallowed half of the kimbap in no time. read more

The lunch plate: - variety - satisfying - tastes authentic but still pleases most palates - perfect japchae and lots of shiitake/cabbage - fresh, veggies have bite, color and flavor - great kimchi - not watery or vinegary - meaty boneless wings - still crispy after travel - choice of other protein in addition to the KFC - seasoned without being salty - reasonably priced at $15.99 Rice is a whee bit mushy for my preference but I love the seaweed on top and it does temper the fermented and pickled veg. I have gotten this a few times and it has been consistently solid! Had no idea they had so many locations - this is their first west coast post, yay for Oakland! Hope they continue to do well and will visit in person one day! read more

Friendly service! I like the Korean "pocha" like ambiance inside. The kiosks are also cool and convenient to operate, also equipped with a "call staff" button. I ordered the 8 piece with half (fried) and half (supreme). I am told that the Mild & Sweet, Supreme, and Hot & Spicy are all variations of Korean "yangnyeum" chicken flavor, from mild to spicy. Will plan to be back if in the area! read more

KFC is definitely one way to go broke eating out here in Bay Area. The price range brings it to bb.q chicken territory. I'd say bb.q has better texture especially if you like that crispy crunchy goodness. However, Noori have more meat to their chicken! Went with the usual soy garlic and tried their magic sprinkle chicken as well. Both tasted good.. they didn't overdo the cheesy flavor with the dry rub either. First time seeing soy garlic dumplings so we had to try it - soy garlic flavor yes but where's all the protein?! Each table have an ordering kiosk so it was easy experience. The staff checked up on us a few times; we also didn't have to wait long to order and receive our food either. My only complaint is the bathroom door handle was a bit stuck. Thought it was locked but it wasn't lol. Anyway, if you have some extra $ to spend this is a good spot to be. read more

Got take out from Noori Chicken and was very excited to try out their wings. We ordered the Soy Garlic Chicken Wings and Chili Soy Boneless Chicken. - Chili Soy boneless chicken (4/5): was crispy, moist and flavorful. But full disclaimer these are VERY spicy! The chicken was topped with chilis and we removed most of them but wheeeew we did not expect it to be that spicy. If you love spicy food and have a high spice tolerance then I do recommend you try this flavor out! - Soy Garlic chicken wings (3/5): I really wanted to like these wings but they were quite soggy and the sauce flavor was a bit on the salty side. Maybe if the chicken wings were crunchier then we likely would've liked it more. - Pickled Radish (5/5): their pickled radish was absolutely delicious!! Crunchy, sweet, sour and cut into perfect bite sized pieces! The pickled radish paired well with the saltiness of the chicken. I am glad I ordered two extra orders of this because they were great as a side snack. read more

Saw a friend try this new Korean fried chicken place in the neighborhood, so thought I'd try also. The inside of the small resto is cute with its awning! I appreciate the history provided in the menu also, and the variety of seasonings offered for either regular or boneless wings. The chicken itself was drier than I expected and slightly overpriced despite the generous serving. Will likely not go back. read more

Noori Chicken - Magic (cheesy) boneless chicken on the left, Soy garlic on the right - Chicken Wings Near Me - Oakland, California

Noori is THE spot for deliciously prepared Korean fried chicken. Y'all, Koreans do fried chicken like nobody else. We are SO lucky to have our local spot in Lake Merritt area. Sure parking is basically impossible, but if you're local walk here and support Korean-owned and run biz. I was so excited to see them open and set up, as they just started in October of last year. I ordered for pick up on a weekday night and although I did have to wait a few mins extra, it was so worth it. High quality crunch with tender and flavorful sauces. I knew their original was gonna be fire as well as the soy garlic. Extra goodness if you have an air fryer at home and need to reheat these bad boys. Their 8pc is enough for two meals for one person, and I love that you have the option to do half/half so more ways to try all their flavors! I haven't seen much competition with Korean FC up here in Oakland. The South Bay is so lucky, they have Gen, Chimek, Bonchon, Vonz, bb.q--you get it. SO many options, so I'm really grateful Noori has made it to Oakland. The interior is hella cute too, K-pop music videos and music playing, and a warm but cool aesthetic. Service may be slow and sparse, but they're still young and figuring out organization. Send them a lil Korean heart. FIGHTING! read more

I could almost eat KFC every day if it wouldn't kill me. Appreciate how there's the option to get half/half of two flavors for every order to have more variety! We ordered a 16 piece boneless chicken ($35.99) in soy garlic and magic sprinkle. More on the pricey side. Soy garlic is always my favorite, but I enjoyed how the magic sprinkle isn't too overloaded and overpowering with powder where I feel like I'm constantly snorting it as I'm breathing. That's a problem I tend to have with dry rubbed wings, and Noori completely avoids it! The chicken pieces were also pretty full and loaded with meat instead of being artificially inflated with breading - another win! The small downside is that I found the meat to be more on the dry and whiter side rather than juicy dark meat. Maybe I should try the bone-in pieces next time. I was also intrigued to see soy garlic dumplings ($9.99) as an add on and decided to give that a try too. There wasn't any description about the filling on the menu, and it appeared to be mostly greens on the inside :( But the outer skin was fried very crispy and nicely covered in soy garlic sauce that it was tasty nonetheless! But probably just a one time thing for me to try. read more

The magic wings are delicious. I get them every time I order from here. We also had the bulgogi gimbap and seafood pancake. Auntie took care of us quickly - the ordering via the tablet is super easy. It's very clean inside and decorative. So many pictures of IU and chansul soju! Whether it's dining in or door dash, Noori is going to make it into the regular rotation for our Korean food cravings. read more

June was an awesome server. The place is very cute, decorated like the outside tents in Korea. The food was really good - best Korean Fried Chicken I've had in the area. The radish was also really good. The fries came out hot and were free since we spent over $30 dining in. The table next to us shared a Supreme wing and that flavor is good but too spicy for my kiddos. They were raving about how good the Cole slaw was so I'll have to check it out next time! read more

New place in my work neighborhood that looked intriguing. Who doesn't love KFC...Korean Fried Chicken, am I right? The dining room was welcoming in a festive and whimsical way, with a video projected on the wall, and indoor awnings in bright colors. The tables even have a tablet to place your orders, or you can walk up to the counter and plug it in. I was going to order the lunch special, but at 3:01, the system locked me out of that option. So I ordered the 8 piece chicken with sweet and mild sauce and pickled radish as a side. Off the top, the sides that go with the order are limited- pickled radish, coleslaw or rice. You'll have to pay extra for fries, or kimchi rice, which was a little disappointing. Regardless, when I opened my boxes, I was surprised to see healthy pieces of boneless fried chicken, with the perfect crunchiness I have come to love and expect in KFC. The sweet and mild coating was also good and was exactly what I was craving. I also ordered a side in section "B" of the menu: The Soy Garlic Dumplings. They were crispy fried and crunchy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside. There were also enough to keep you satisfied with extra for a friend. It wasn't an inexpensive meal, but the flavors and textures were spot on. Next time, I think I'll try their spicy seafood soup. By the description, it sounds delicious! read more

Two experiences to note: One in person and the other as a deliverable. In person: Such a great spot for good and filling food at a good price and in such a cozy and vibrant atmosphere! Each table setting has its own screen-menu (although the staff are not far away to help navigate or take your order personally). The screen-menus make it very easy to order by guest and split tabs as needed. Note that there is So much on the menu that pictures of the food is very helpful when attempting to make a choice! Pics of the chicken drew me in and the quality along with the variety in items makes me delight in going back! Not sure if I have the words for the Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad so here's just one - Splendid!!!! All of the chicken I've had at Noori has been crispy outside and tender and juicy inside; but it's the crispy and tender chicken chunks in the salad along with sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh and crisp Romain lettuce covered in a light Caesar dressing that complements it all that really makes this my absolute favorite dish here! (Note that the salad portion is quite healthy so sharing a salad is surely an option- especially if you're having more than one menu item!) There is an incredible range of chicken from just fried (with very tasty seasoning by the way), to Soy Garlic, Chili Soy, Sweet & Mild, Hot & Spicy, Supreme (Mild Spicy), and even a slightly sweet dry seasoning of what they show as Magic Sprinkle. (Note that I may have missed some flavors, but these are the ones I have had the pleasure of tasting). I must applaud that all chicken items I have experienced at Noori has been crispy outside and moist inside consistently! Along with the wide variety of flavors, quality of consistency, there really is something here for everyone that enjoys tasty chicken. They also serve chicken boneless if that is preferable. As table "gift" items for what I'd think is for a party of 2 or more, Noori gave us French fries and Dumplings - again, quite tasty and ensured we all left full and content! Deliverable experience: I am pleased! The Bulgogi Kimbob arrived perfectly in its container, and I still had enough of the Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad to have two portions! (Note that dressing is served on the side so the lettuce was still crispy and delicious upon arrival)! I look forward to my next visit to try other items and repeat-eat some of my favs! Definitely would recommend Noori to friends and anyone looking for good, affordable Korean food, tasty chicken and/or simply a Splendid Salad read more

I was delighted when I saw that Nori Chicken was available on DoorDash. I'm a huge fan of KFC, but I was even happier knowing they offered bibimbap on their menu. I love having bibimbap for lunch and usually order takeout from Korean restaurants around Oakland. However, I find many of them mediocre; at that point, I'd make it myself at home. But after trying their bibimbap, I thought, "Just take my money!" Their bibimbap is well-balanced in flavors and textures, and I like their gochujang sauce; it has the perfect blend of spice and sweetness. I wish they provided more extra sauce, as my bowl was pale. Additionally, I appreciate that they offer complimentary miso soup and kimchi. The miso soup was a bit bland, but it was still fine without it, while their kimchi was great--crunchy and tangy. I ordered their magic sprinkle for the chicken, which had a unique flavor. The wings hinted at sweetness, reminiscent of a Korean corn dog. I ordered through delivery, and the crunchiness of the chicken was a solid 10/10--it arrived hot! I will be ordering more of their bibimbap and chicken again and again. Their portions are generous; my boyfriend and I had leftovers for dinner. read more

Best korean bar food in town!! Honestly I wish this place had more business because I genuinely feel like it deserves its flowers, here's why: I always order the bbq chicken (spicy and non spicy are both bomb), and the portion they provide is always plentiful. I usually share it with my partner and we'll STILL have leftovers for the next day!! We've also tried the Galbi and its deliciousssss, great portions as well. Just a note most of their orders come with spicy gochujang dipping, along with lettuce to wrap your protein in. So it feels like an already prepackaged dinner for you and your family. The inside of the store is set up to feel like a cute casual Korean pub so you can also order soju and beer there, I haven't dined in just yet but I'm always taking out. Constant returning customer for sure read more

I went and shared the soy and chili flavor with a friend along with some soju. I love the casual vibes here, the staff was so chill and positive. This is a great contribution to Grand and I hope they stick around! read more

Got a delivery from Noori and it was delicious! The chicken had crispy skin and juicy meat, just the right mixture of textures. We got the noori and soy garlic flavors and both were yummy and balanced. We also got the fish cake soup, the rose rice cake, and the bulgogi kimbop. The soup was savory which the fish cakes soaked up. Everything was good. read more

Did I just find the best Korean wings in East bay? Let's talk chicken quality --juicy, tender, no dryness with red veins from them bones. Flavor -- hot & spicy-- some hint of cinnamon, enough sweetness, not thick enough to bore the tastebuds but thin enough to taste the heat. Chili soy -- sweet and hot, nothing you can't handle Soju-- Enough selections to give you Korean vibes and experience. Always choose Saero if you ask me :) Service-- No complaints Don't ask if it's better than Bonchon--Bonchon lacks quality period. Ask if it's better than Bb.q chicken--it's different in the breading, crispness, and flavor, but quality is not lacking! Their sauce and breading reminds me of Love Letter in Orange County but crispier and lighter. Quality of the chicken reminds me of Koko from (GG) Orange County 11/10 would come back and drink another 2 bottles of soju with my partner. read more

LOVEEEE. I AM OBSESSED. I need everyone to come here but at the same time I want it to remain a hidden gem. But no it should really blow up bc it deserves it. We got the French fries, sweet & mild fried chicken, and budae-jjigae. French fries were solid! Fried chicken was really really good and for being mild, had a good amount of heat to it! Tasted exactly how I want and expect legit Korean fried chicken to taste. The budae-jjigae was the best I've had in the bay so far!! It was literally perfect. If I ever have a budae-jjigae craving I will be coming here. The owner lady was also soooo sweet and she gave us extra "juice" lol for our budae-jjigae soup when we ran out without us even asking! Vibes were immaculate, it was decorated like an old-school Korean pojangmacha. I liked how the music wasn't that loud so we could have a proper convo too. Overall such a good place to eat super yummy casual Korean food and chat w/ friends!! read more

We've had food from here twice: once as takeout during the soft opening and once at the restaurant a few days ago. We had: - Korean fried chicken, in soy garlic, supreme, and magic sprinkle flavor. The magic sprinkle is ridiculously delicious, a tiny bit sweet, pretty savory, and just really hit the spot. The crisp, moistness, and taste on all the chicken gets an A, and the magic sprinkle flavor gets an A+. - tteokbokki. This tastes like the tteokbokki of my childhood in the best way. It's not sweet and it's not cheesy (they do have a rosé version which is made with cream and cheese) like many places make it, but savory and spicy. I loved it, and wouldn't change a thing. The two fried dumpling were crisp and juicy. A+ for me, but if you are looking for something sweet-spicy, this may not hit the exact right spot for you. It definitely hit right for me and I'm definitely going to get this again and again. - eomukguk/fish cake soup. This was also an A. You could taste the layers of flavors from the vegetables, especially the turnip, and fish cake. It tasted like it was cooked long enough for the flavors to really meld, but didn't feel over cooked. - corn cheese. This was good: nothing to fault, nothing incredibly different, but it's exactly what you are looking for if you want corn cheese. - magic sprinkle fries. We made them disappear so quickly, that the owner (I think?) joked that he must have forgotten to bring them to us. They were so great and I could eat baskets of them by myself. A+! I can't wait to try more chicken flavors and other dishes! I'm looking forward to trying their kimchi fried rice. On the decor side, it was very cute! Very much styled like a Korean "pocha" (short for pojangmacha) which evokes the image of Korean street stands with small tables and stools, where you could make a quick stop or stay for a while to have "chimek" (chicken and beer) with your friends for a long time. There were K-pop music videos playing the whole time on two screens, with music playing at a volume where you could listen to the music but also have a conversation with a friend. There were screens at every table to order and pay the bill, which was great because my kids could take time to figure out what they wanted to order, but you could also just order from the staff if you need. This will be my family's new default fried chicken place! That chicken is really, really great! The portions were huge and we got waaaaaaay too much for my small family but I just wanted to try so much. read more

My family got take out from here and we're were a little disappointed unfortunately. We got hot and spicy wings, soy garlic wings, their special magic fries, soy garlic dumplings and kimbop. The fries were WAY too sweet for us, they looked they'd be yummy and savory but instead tasted like they were covered in powdered sugar which was just not what we were expecting and didn't really enjoy it. The wings were also sweet, even the soy garlic, so just felt like sweet on sweet! The wings did have nice crispy coating on them however. The dumplings were fine but also had a sweet sauce on them. The kimbap was ok, probably my favorite thing but I felt like there wasn't enough protein in either roll, and too much rice... probably won't be back. read more

Amazing!! So glad this place opened. What a vibe - K-pop playing on the wall, orange food market roof inside, screen ordering, great food. We've been 5 times so far. Large servings of succulent juicy crispy Korean fried chicken with great flavor combos. Our favourite fried chicken is the garlic soy & the hot spicy one. Great bimbimbap & onion rings too. Love the barley tea & that they have makgeolli too (cloudy rice wine drink). read more

Some of the best chicken I've ever had. 10/10. I normally call my order in and it's always on point.

Stopped by this chicken shop right after a drink at clio's and i think we just randomly had the best korean fried chicken in town. We ordered the: Soy garlic - wet sauce.The texture was really good. It was light and crispy at the same time. The wet sauce did not affect the crunch! The wings were also huge. Magic sprinkle- dry. I am not sure what the flavors are exactly but its on the sweet ish side also really good. Second to soy garlic imo but would definitely order again. Crunch and size same as soy garlic. Service was also good! Did not catch the person's name but we ordered to-go and he offered to bring the food out to our car when ready after we told him we were gonna get our car. We parked two blocks up so we said no thanks. But appreciate the gesture! Cant wait to go back! read more

Chicken wings are pretty good and the rose Tteok-bokki when you add the ramen are alright. The kimchi pancake was soggy and bitter though so don't recommend. Same with the kimchi fried rice. Overall, the people were nice and their fried snacks were the main highlight. Their other foods pretty mid or lower. Not worth the price read more

Great quality juicy chicken but no flavor. So sad. Big ones too!! Service was good. Hard to find parking but I took mine to go.

I posted this on Google too! Tried the magic sprinkle and soy garlic chicken and wow, this is some of the best fried chicken I've had in a while! We got take out and the chicken was still crispy after 20 minutes. The chicken comes off very easily from the bone and they are very large pieces. The magic sprinkle is a dry coating with a strong crisp and umami flavor. The soy garlic is a classic and had the perfect amount of saltiness. I highly recommend this place to try! The owner is also very friendly. read more

Absolutely love the kimbap here. It's absolutely packed and probably my favorite in the Bay. The ladies that work here are also very nice and it's perfect vibes for drinks out with friends! read more

My new favorite spot! I basically only review on Yelp for Korean fried chicken places for the past few years and I'm pretty picky about the places I go to. I just tried Noori today and I'm so happy that there's a yummy KFC joint in my neighborhood! First off the food: I liked the chicken! Crunchy, juicy, and nice pieces of chicken. Not too small and not intimidatingly gigantic. I got the spiciest chicken and I felt like it was just right for me. I think Americans that can tolerate decent heat will be just fine. It is t insanely spicy the way some Korean food is and that's okay with me. Flavor was prioritized over heat. I had fries on the side and the portion was generous. I also happened to be there while they were making content for social media and their soy garlic dumplings, spicy rice cakes, bibimbap, and kimbap looked amaaaazing. I can't wait to try more food from here! Service was great. Everyone was friendly and I felt like they were excited to have a customer. The kind of earnestness that people should support! Last of all, ambiance. I LOVED the vibes. Walking past it was such a blast to the past for me. It reminded me of shops in Korea and really set the mood for the meal. They even had takeout boxes and bags with their name on it. These guys are great. Please come support this new local business! read more

Appreciate the good vibes , spotless restaurant and mouthwatering food Am about to become a regular xoxo read more

My fried chicken wings--a half and half order of soy-garlic and hot and spicy--were the best I have ever had. They were also so huge that I could not finish the whole order of eight, and had to take some home! My magic fries were good, but next time I'll skip the magic sprinkle (a cheese powder). But based on the wings alone, there definitely will be a next time! read more

Was really excited to try, but was disappointed. The chicken was ok, not bad, but definitely not great. The chicken wasn't crispy at all - I did get sauced version, but that shouldn't mean that it's not crispy, plenty of places do that well. Seafood pancake was not good - the pancake was bland, and the only seafood that I could taste there was octopus, which was crazy chewy, and there was a lot of it. Could only finish about a quarter of it before giving up. So when considering how everything is priced, I don't think this is the chicken place for me. read more

I visit my daughter who lives in the neighborhood. I have had their fried chicken and it is good. What I love is their bimbimbap and kimbap. There is a huge variety of vegetables on their bimbimbap that are perfectly cut and cooked. For just $2 more, you can add your protein. It comes with kimchi and soup. Their kimbap is made after you order and the rice is nice and loose, not like the premade ones at a h-mart. You can get it vegetarian or with the protein of your choice. I will be back to try their other foods. read more
