Have been here multiple times now and I have definitely seen improvement. I think they have also updated their menu. The service has gotten much better and instead of ordering the Korean dishes, we just ordered more chicken. The other flavors of chicken they have are better than just the plain version. The chicken is less oily and very tender. We tried to order some of the Korean dishes that we know would be good(tteok-bokki and japchae) and they were fine. Would definitely say that this is our go to chicken place after shopping at Chinook Mall. read more

I ordered this off skip the dishes and I'm giving it a below average rating because I had an upset stomach and I personally thought it was very heavy the 3 piece rice meal. The salad was very gingery because of the dressing and then to combine it with overly breaded deep fried exterior and their sweet peanut butter and hoisin sauce on top of rice didn't mix well. Their corn salad was meh. Kfc macroni salad is better. Their raddish side was generous they give a generous small container that can be shared amongst 3 people which is great. I personally wouldn't come back because of my stomach not sitting well. read more

Ogam has the best Korean Fried Chicken in town. We've tried the other places but we always just keep coming back to Ogam. Reasonable prices and worth every single penny! Unlike Jollibee or KFC or other fried chicken in town, Ogam's crispy chicken is still delicious even the next day or two! Just bake in the oven or air fryer to reheat. read more

Came here to check this place out since I saw the rating pretty good on Yelp. I went inside and I have noticed that even though its name is Ogam Chicken, only one table out of 6 tables (including me) ordered chicken. I have noticed the chicken portion is quite small and they charge $$$ for each piece. I decided to order the Bibimbap instead because there were other tables ordering it. The bibimbap before tax was $15.25. Definitely pricier than majority Korean restaurants. On top of it, they were very skimpy on the meat. There was hardly any meat. Mostly rice. Bowl big but they do not use the traditional stone bowl. Not sure why other people are not ordering their chicken when their name trys to sell its chicken as being the popular item. Its located in a strip mall. The restaurant looks like its a family ran business. Nothing fancy. Parking is available in front. Don't think I will come back. read more

Just tried the chicken at their new location on 10th Ave. and 14th St SW. Very disappointed! I had high expectations because chicken was on the higher end of price range, l found the pieces to be extremely small overcooked and way too much batter for my liking. Next time I'll just go to Popeyes and save 5 bucks on the five piece pack. read more

Went here during their happy hour which is before 5 and asked if it is still eligible. they said it will not because usually it inly applies during payment. So if you come in before 5 but ended up paying after 5, the discount will no longer be applicable. What a fraud!! read more

I stopped in for pick up at 3 pm and just ordered 5 pieces, C1 on menu. Order was ready in 6-8 minutes. Price - $15.5, reasonable. The breading is almost as good as Jinbar yyc. Jinbar has lighter breading. Good flavour! I would rate them 3.5 if I could. Support local business during covid. read more

Ogam Chicken - C1 - crispy chicken - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Expensive for what it is. Small portions, food is ok only. Wait staff have limited English skills - which makes it difficult to communicate. We had this weird really dark part on the chicken and they took the chicken back into the kitchen to "investigate" only to have them bring it back to tell us it's ok. Wth. Then 10 mins later during our meal, they came back to offer to give us a new one. They took back the one piece and I swear he just rebattered the chicken and refried it for us. So gross. Not my first choice. read more

I've come here a few times before and today is going to be my last time. I came for lunch today with my wife and kids. My kids and I all ordered our meals, and my wife wasn't very hungry and was going to share off ours. The server told my wife that she had to order something if she was dining. We asked why and he simply said all people sitting had to order something. This is the very first time we've encountered this. We were close to cancelling our order and walking out. We ended up staying and not leaving a tip. We won't be returning on the simple fact we were forced to order another dish we really didnt want read more

Great fried chicken. Probably the best I've had. She had the chicken bites and I had a 3 piece combo. Both with rice & salad. Batter was AWESOME. Light, crispy and just delicious. Price was fair. Two dinners cost about $35.00. Great stuff. If you like fried chicken certainly don't hesitate to give this place a go. read more

Ogam Chicken - We had the Creamy Garlic style fried chicken. - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Love love love their fried chicken! I am no stranger to Ogam (or fried chicken) and have been getting my fix from them for a while. I've tried other places in the city, but I always seem to be coming back to this place. I usually just order take out for the lazy nights and when I just need some chicken. I unfortunately haven't tried their other Korean dishes as I feel like it would be better if you actually dine-in. Every time I go, their chicken is perfectly seasoned, has a thick crispy coating and is incredibly juicy. They have a range of sauces to pick from as well if you want some (my favourite is the seasoned sauce). Their family combo #2 is perfect for 2 people and only comes down to $13/person. It also comes with their ogam chicken bites which I feel is an absolute must! read more

The pork belly was so tasty . We also had some Spicy grilled chicken. As for the fried chicken - We had original chicken, soy garlic chicken, and the spicy chicken. Jap chae was tasty as well had good amount of veggies. The meal came with 3 side dishes: beansprouts, some corn macaroni, and kimchi radish. The grilled dishes were a little expensive for what you get but both were tasty. Then the fried chicken quality was great because it was really crispy. Food 5/5. Service was ok. 3/5. They didn't really come around very much to clear the dishes and you have to flag people down. read more

The chicken is really good....i wouldn't recommend to get the pork belly though...its too much $$ for the amount u get...i would stay with the chicken. The one server we knew from insadong.so she is super good. Also the food came really fast and hot and pretty tasty. I asked what o gham means... O means 5 Gham means senses We use our 5 senses when we eat. I give it 3 stars because of the serving size of the pork belly as for the fried chicken...i would say cheaper than yum yum chicken and waaaaay better read more

Best bulgogi I have had hands down! Will be spending lots of money at ogam! So darn good!

Upon a recommendation from a coworker, decided to check this place out on a Saturday night. We were seated fairly quickly as it was a full house at 6:50pm. We got our menus and then no one came to take our order. 15-20 min went by and I approached the counter to ask if I needed to order right there although she did take the order from another table. Anyhow, things were better after that. It was our first time here so we asked questions about the flavours of chicken offered. She was was helpful and then we had our drinks within 5 min. 15 min later, our basket of potato wedges came out piping hot and well seasoned. Next up, 10 pieces of crispy chicken and 5 pieces of spicy soy garlic chicken and a glass noodle with beef n veggies. Crispy chicken was delicious and so moist! The crunch on the skin was fantastic! The spicy soy garlic had perfect heat and the glass noodles had a good sesame oil based sauce on it. We have hit the jackpot for KFC (Korean fried chicken). So sad that yum yum has gone downhill. Ogam hits the spot for fried chicken... read more

I wish I could tell you what the food is like but we got kicked out before we could even sit down because my fiancee has a guide dog. Even after explaining it was a service dog, the lady didn't care. We have now received and apology from the staff and have discussed handling situations for special needs such as guide dogs. Maybe some day soon we will go and try the food. read more

Oh man, Ogam! I seriously love this place. I wish I didn't live so far from it, buuuut maybe that's best because I'd probably be here all the time lol The have lunch specials (pork belly? YES!), those delish but SUPER spicy thick rice noodles (Tteokbokki) and of course, their flavorful and crispy fried chicken. I liked that they do have different options of Korean dishes to try here, and the staff is quite helpful explaining the dishes you're not familiar with. It's a open, clean and bright restaurant as well which is always a plus. Prices are quite reasonable, and you'll definitely leave full and satisfied! read more

Friendly service? Check. Delicious finger licking deep fried batter? check. Moist juicy chicken meat? Check. Sweet coleslaw to counter the deep fried goodness? Check. Ogam chicken is conveniently located on McLeod trail across from Chinook mall. Do yourself a favour and check it out. Korean Fried Chicken is my crack and I am happy to (continuously) bring my business to Ogam Chicken! There is a slight language barrier but the food and service more than makes up for it. I have gone to olive chicken and chicken on the way but I have to say that in terms of tender chicken meat that doesn't taste dry, this place definitely knows what it's doing! There are other Korean specials besides KFC and I look forward to trying them out in the near future. The lady behind the counter is so sweet and I would suggest going to the ogam website- there is a coupon for 10% off!! read more

Ogam Chicken - Soy garlic fried Chicken - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

While I can't yet consider Calgary a top tier food town (though it's definitely been making serious improvements in recent years), it definitely has its pleasant surprises. One of which has been legit Korean fried chicken, originally by way of Olive Chicken, then also Yum Yum Chicken. Not all cities are blessed with good "KFC", for example it still hasn't really caught on in a big way in Vancouver (there are a couple places, but they're not spectacular...the one downtown Zabu is terribly overpriced to boot), and my current home of Portland, Oregon has yet to be truly impacted by the incredible phenomenon that is Korean fried chicken. In the US, LA and NYC are probably most well known for being meccas to find good KFC. Back to Calgary: enter Ogam Chicken & Korean restaurant, a new hole-in-the-wall joint near Chinook Centre that serves up some mighty fine Korean fried chicken. Best of all, instead of a fast food atmosphere like Olive or Yum Yum, Ogam is closer to an izakaya, a little trendy but still very casual, and it's a great place to hang out. To me, it was very close to recreating the atmosphere from an awesome KFC experience I had in NYC at Mad for Chicken (sorry BonChon - I think you've become a victim of your own success and your glory days are behind you. Still lots of tourists will flock your way though). At Ogam, you can also order alcoholic drinks (yay soju!) with your chicken - an awesome match made in heaven, and a combination you won't find at the other Calgary KFC joints. Now you're also telling me I can also have solid Korean BBQ including pork belly, bulgogi and kalbi beef short ribs alongside awesome Korean fried chicken?! ! Get the f@#* outta here!! Anyway, on my first trip I was only able to have myself a 10 piece order of the seasoned chicken wings, and they were pretty epic. Exceptionally well-executed, the wings were juicy, crispy and the the flavors were as good (though not necessarily identical to) as top KFC eats I've had at the other Calgary places and also in NYC. I would love to try the soy garlic larger chicken pieces, as well as some of the BBQ dishes on my next visit, hopefully with some good friends. I did see some of these dishes being served to other tables, and they looked very enticing, and my fellow patrons really seemed to be enjoying their food and the overall experience. The service is fast and efficient, but still very friendly. While I can't crown a king for the best Korean fried chicken in Calgary, I have to say that Ogam is definitely a very strong contender. Add on the fact that it's a great place to hang out, have a drink to complement your eats, and also get Korean BBQ, this is definitely going to be a new favorite place of mine going forward. If you're still reading this, dammit what are you waiting for? Get in the car and go there now! read more

Ogam Chicken - 10 piece order of seasoned (sweet & spicy) chicken wings. Pickled daikon in the side. - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

My girlfriend and I wanted to try something new so I went to Yelp for any recommendations. We went to two restaurants but they were closed for renovations so we went to Ogam. Ogam is located across from Chinook Centre in the small mini strip mall where the Le Chateau outlet used to be (the big purple building). There's a lot of parking in the area just as long as it doesn't say reserve or a 15 minute park time for the liquor store. Our experience was okay, a mixture of both good and bad. They offer you cutlery but don't provide you with plates unfortunately. A cool thing is if you order pop they give you a cup with a can of your choice but they don't provide a straw which is weird since majority of the restaurants we've been to do. I mean drinking out of the cup is okay but I think for more professional more sanitary reasons proving a straw with your drink is always better. We were greeted and seated right away but waiting to place our orders and waiting for the food to come took a really long time. We saw a group walked out because of the slow service, which is really disappointing and it does ruin the restaurant's image. My girlfriend ordered their chicken teriyaki and she was really disappointed because for $14.50 she had a small portion sized chicken and steamed rice, no vegetables or more chicken to make up for the lack of plating space. I myself had ordered the sweet spicy chicken, you can also add cheese or fried rice for $3 more. I thought I wouldn't need it but boy was I wrong. There is no sweet flavours in the sweet spicy chicken, it was all spicy that was marinated into the chicken and the vegetables. When I found out that they didn't provide plates I got really disappointed and I wouldn't dare eat out of the sweet spicy chicken plating because it doesn't look professional so I had no choice but to order a side of rice just to get a plate. Overall the experience was okay. If Ogam were to offer faster and more efficient service and plates then our experience would be different! I would still recommend Ogam to others but for us this is a one time visit. read more

So so soooo good! Seriously, next time your at chinook mall, skip the food court and run across the street to Ogam. I had the bulgogi beef meal and it was delicious! Flavorful meat and veg with rice (has delicious sauce on it) two kinds of salads and pickled veg. I'll have to try the fried chicken next time but I'm definitely going back for the bulgogi. read more

Been here twice this week and loving it! Let's start with the chicken. Got the half bird with soy garlic sauce both times and let me tell you, some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. If you've had Bon Chon, this is similar if not better! Super crispy on the outside but not too thick, very juicy meat and just the perfect amount of sauce, not drenche and not greasy! Love the sweet and spicy soy garlic sauce! Perfect fried chicken I love how this place has Korean bbq as well as chicken. We tried the beef ribs which were tender with a great sauce. Came with Korean side dishes, lettuce and rice. They have a lunch special every day for $9.99, tried the Bulgogi with rice and salad. Large portion and perfectly cooked beef. The interior is super clean, nice simple decor, clean bathrooms and not just a "hole in the wall" the servers are nice and attentive. All in all, this place is amazing! I kinda wanna keep it a secret but in want them to be successful haha definitely adding this to my Korean food spots in Calgary! read more

Ordered take out from here for the first time awhile ago and it was fantastic. The colonel has nothing on Koreans in the fried chicken space. We got both crispy pieces and flavored bites and by the time I got them home, still delicious and crispy. I have absolutely no bad things to report from ordering. Will definitely be back! read more

Their chickens are always really fresh and tasty! Since I had fried chickens in Ogam, I don't go to the other fried chicken restaurant.

I love everything #Korean and now I know where to satisfy my korean spicy chicken craving. 5 piece chicken (big sizes) thats $13 is enough for 2. The only thing I didnt like about this resto is their lack of side dishes. Side dishes are always serve (always!) in a korean meal- so just 4 stars. read more

First time visit to Ogam on November 11 around lunch time. I had the sweet and spicy chicken combo and also tried some of my husband's fried chicken. The sweet and spicy chicken was nicely spiced and well portioned. The fried chicken was excellent, with a thick breading, moist chicken and a slow building spice. Very friendly service and great prices. Will definitely be back! read more

seriously good food. great service. light crispy delicious Korean fried chicken youll thank me.

Solid Korean Fried Chicken, which for the unfamiliar usually involves a thicker coating, and a choice of sweet and savory sauces draped over it. A combo of crunchy and crispy, and moderate on the sauce front, Ogam gets it right. The meat is also nice and juicy, and you can get rice, onion rings, or potatoes as the side. Not a cheap place, but reasonable for the quality. My table mate had a pan-fried pork belly dish that was quite tasty, with a distinct porcine flavor rather than just tasting like stir-fry sauce. The decor is pretty basic, service fairly quick, and the servers have a working grasp of English. All in all, a good spot for lunch or a casual dinner. read more
