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.

C1 - crispy chicken

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.

We had the Creamy Garlic style fried chicken.

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.

Ogam Chicken bites

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!

Pork belly, red Spicy fried chicken, original fried chicken, jap chae, Spicy chicken, soysauce garlic fried chicken, and side dishes.

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.

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

Spicy soy chicken

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...

Tteokbokki (SPICY!!!)
Jenn N.

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!

Soy garlic fried Chicken

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!!

10 piece order of seasoned (sweet & spicy) chicken wings. Pickled daikon in the side.

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!

Sweet spicy chicken

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.

I have to admit, this is a weird location for the style of restaurant. It's located in an office…read morebuilding. You drive to that office building and it's one of the foodcourt style restaurants on the main floor. Their Korean Fried Chicken is delicious! One of the better ones in this city. We also ordered their beef dumplings and they were very good. Prices are reasonable. They also have tons of fruit drinks made from real fruits along with assortment of Korean candy/snacks to purchase. If it wasn't for Instagram and bloggers recommending this place I would have never come here because you won't see it driving on Macleod trail. They are definitely relying on word of mouth and social media to advertise their restaurants. Overall, a great place but be prepared it's more of a take out restaurant unless you want to eat in the office building.

My boyfriend and I had this for dinner 2 nights in a row. Such a good deal! The soy garlic fried chicken was so good! I'm normally very fussy about my fried chicken but it was juicy, flavourful and crispy. I really liked it! Comparable to wow chicken for sure, which is a high compliment for me haha. The spicy pork was good as well! The meat was not dry and it was flavourful with the right amount of spice for myself. Perfect with rice! The beef bulgolgi was ok - the meat was a little bit dry! I wish it was a bit more saucy, but overall it was okay but outshined by the other 2 dishes. For drinks, I tried their real strawberry matcha latte. It was really yummy! It reminded me of boba guys in NY. Located in the Heritage Square building, there are a few spots right outside the main entrance - 2 hours of free parking is available, you just have to register your plate on the tablet by the front desk. There is also more parking around the building.

I found out that inside Simtopia there is a Korean fried chicken restaurant and it had good reviews. So wanted to try it. I also found out that some of weekdays they have all you can eat for $20. Me and my friends thought this was an amazing deal and decided to try it. As per their instagram stories they used to show that they have long lines and suggested to come early as you might have to wait. We 3 reached there around 5:30 pm and there was not a soul there. Just couple of staff members. Ambiance is not bad. They have seating for 15-25 people. We got seated right away and our order was taken and were told that in AYCE they offer boneless fried chicken. We ordered every flavour they had. Food came to table and looked delicious. However it took a nose dive as we took our first bite. The chicken to batter proportion was not right. There was hardly any chicken in there. Almost 60% was all batter. It didn't taste good as all we were tasting was batter. We were not able to finish what we ordered as it was almost batter and there was no real good taste. Since we were not able to finish we were charged $5 extra. We explained them that this is not good chicken, it's just fried batter. They said that's how they make it. We paid and left disappointed. We went to a different restaurant to have dinner as we were still hungry. We learned our lesson. Everything you see on social media is not true! Stay away from this chicken place.

We ordered a share plate for $15.99 which included 3 tenders, 3 pieces of chicken, some taters, gravy, dipping sauce and two sodas. The first surprise was that taters are not tater tots but wedge fries. They and the gravy were okay but we only finished half of the medium size that was given. I could take them or leave them going forward. The second surprise was that I loved their chicken tenders. They were battered real slabs of unprocessed white meat chicken and maybe it was my ravenous state but I thought they were moist and tasty. If I return, they would definitely be what I would order. They also give you they option of about 6 dipping sauces. We tried the sweet & sour and the chipotle and both were decent. I was a little less impressed with the whole pieces of chicken. I found the batter a little thick and ended up peeling most of it off. The chicken itself was moist and tender. Bonus points for having cans of diet Dr. Pepper! My expectations were pretty low and I was pleasantly surprised. I am not sure how likely I will return, but if you like fried chicken you could do a lot worse. 3.5 stars.

The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.
