We asked a salesperson in the mall for a recommendation and she suggested Ogam, "it we liked fried chicken". We didn't end up going that day but then a few days later we were driving by and stopped in. It was OUTSTANDING! We ordered the fried chicken, and also a pan seared chicken dish. I craved the fried chicken for the rest of our short trip and we had to make another stop before heading to the airport. I'm sure everything else is good, but make the trip for the Korean fried chicken. I just checked my map and it's 12 hours 47 minutes from here... read more

Everytime we come to this restaurant, they say its close when its not even time to close! Pissed me off! There's still half an hr.. they should close the door if they dont want to take costumers nomore! read more

Good fried chicken, not as saucy as some places. I like saucy better. The dish described as Korean rice cakes with vegetables is more like thick, solid tubes of pasta in a kim chee sauce. Light on the veggies, hot but not too hot, with weird wiener like pieces of rice pasta. read more

OMG I can't move...sooooo full gonna write the review while I try to get blood to my legs again. Garlic soy chicken 5 pieces is pretty much a whole chicken. Delicious!!! read more

Our experience might be an outlier but I was thoroughly unimpressed (more like incredibly frustrated) for multiple reasons: - They didn't accept my order via SkipTheDishes for 15 minutes (many other restaurants confirm within minutes). We then waited another 50 minutes after that until we could pick up (1hr+ wait time) - The portions are small relative to what they charge and the taste isn't amazing enough to justify the price. - Upon arriving to pick up my order I was told to wait while they dealt with something on their laptop. She must have been playing Candy Crush because I can't imagine she was tending to their SkipTheDishes orders - if they were I'm not sure why it took 15 minutes to accept my order. - When they finally were able to hand me the food, I was told to call next time in instead of using SkipTheDishes. Don't worry, their won't be a next time. We will be headed elsewhere for Korean BBQ. read more

Bomb ass hot soy garlic bites. Best chicken in the city. Period. Wish they had more appetizers though, and there dip selection is a little weak read more

I love some fried chicken but Ogam puts a new meaning to good chicken they also have a great variety of Korean food. I would rather eat here then most chicken restaurants the prices are a bit more but the quality speaks for itself. read more

I totally agree with all the previous reviews about Ogam. They truly offer some great food and service, the crispy chicken was outstanding as well as the spicy chicken and bulgogi. read more

Ogam hands down changed fried chicken for me forever. Their fried chicken is always served piping hot, super crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. My favorite sauce for the fried chicken is soy garlic, it has a bit of spice and it's perfectly sweet and garlicky. The hot sauces like hot soy garlic are PRETTY spicy. By pretty I mean really spicy if you're like me and can handle spice well. I would recommend it if you like really spicy food. But regardless all the sauces are still very delicious. A couple of my other favs are the potato wedges (really great with the chicken if you don't feel like rice), short ribs, pork belly, and kimchi pork soup. I've honestly never been disappointed with anything I've ordered from here. The owner is such a sweet lady and she always remembers me when I come in. I love places who value their regular clientele! Ogam definitely has the best Korean fried chicken in the city (that I've tried and I've been around lol) and they also serve a lot of traditional dishes too. They have a pretty good selection of beers too so you can't go wrong with that! I will continue to drag my friends and family here because this place is a hidden gem. read more

My friend and I were really excited to check this place out. So we go in, it's 7:40, we wait for a table for like 15 minutes. We get seated for a table and get menus, it's like 8pm. 8:09 server comes up to us saying that they "close at 9" and fried chicken takes too long to cook and eat. So anything we order has to be for take out. We literally just got up and left. Thanks for wasting our time. read more

The chicken was good and the wedges were amazing. I was not entirely sold on what exactly a korean chicken is.

Extremely friendly, and very courteous staff! Great food, good variety! Portions are quite healthy and are served quickly and very hot! the light fresh tasty Korean fried chicken will make you use kentukyfriedchicken for a door stop. read more

The reason that I am only giving this place 2-stars is the service. I have been there 4 times, 3 for take-out. The 1st time the menu was extremely confusing and they didn't take the time to explain that I had other options other than fried chicken. The next couple of times were more or less the same. The last time I went I ate in and the menu layout has much improved. The server pointed to a table and because I was expecting a call on my cell I asked if I could sit on the opposite side of the room and was shouted a loud "NO". Soon after other customers just came in and sat down at the tables (same size tables) and no one really confronted them or asked them to move. The food is good, a bit expensive, for the portions. The fried chicken is crispy and I thought really good but I've since had other KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and have to say that Yum Yum impressed me more with their flavour. I asked if they had any hot sauce and was told the only sauce was Korean Hot Sauce and I would have to pay $1 for it. It ended up as $1.50 on the bill. It came in a salad dressing size bowl. My water was never refilled. Other people had bottles of go chu jang with their meals. The restaurant was half empty and I was lingering as I was in the middle of a call (I generally don't do long calls in public but I was on the listening end to a friend in need). The server came and basically plunked the bill down and told me "finished diner" and then pointed to the cash counter. There were lots of tables available and no one waiting at the door. Her english was excellent so I doubt this is a case of poor language skills. I'm just telling you what my experience was. The food was good but it's not somewhere I would go out of my way for. If you're wondering why I've been there 4 times, it's because I always give a place several chances before I give a less than glowing review. I tend to be optimistic that perhaps the people are having a bad day and think the next time will be better. There are more and more Korean alternatives in Calgary and as good or better. read more

Stopped by after work during a business trip recently. Excellent fried Chicken, very crunchy and flavorful! Very friendly and attentive staff. read more

Great chicken! IMO, soy-garlic is the flavour to get. As for the sides, I liked the potato wedges and the obligatory pickled daikon. Even the salad was good - poppyseed dressing and dried cranberries; better than the typical spring mix. I tried the Tteokbokki, but it was way too spicy for me. Fans of heat might enjoy that dish. read more

We tried this on skip the dishes tonight! Chicken was delicious Loved the pickled veg sides, onion rings were super greasy. A bit pricey for what you get though. Overall I'd go in next time, but for a first time meal it was good. read more

Chill and casual vibe with very tasty food. Had their Ogam fried chicken and the sweet spicy chicken. Both were fantastic. Can't go wrong here if you want a quick bite to eat or just hang out with friends. Great prices read more

When i crave chicken, ogam comes to mind. Soy garlic is like the beast mode of all fried chickens. I get the traditional bibimbap and side orders of rice to share with my bff then eat with the chicken. One time, they probably got my order mixed up because I got spicy soy garlic, but I ate it all anyway because it's so good too. Service is not slow considering that there is one server per shift. Hella good chicken. read more

Ogam Chicken - Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Oh man, the chicken is so delicious! My husband got it as take out while I was in the hospital after my son was born and it was a great treat. Definitely recommend this place over the chains. The chicken is fresh, crunchy and not overly greasy. read more

This place is a little hard to find but once you do you'll never forget. This place has one of the best friend chicken you can ever have the batter is really nice and crispy. But the sauce they cover it make the chicken a little soggy but it's really good . Overall this place is really good. read more

THE best chicken joint in calgary. The deep fried chicken flavors is second to none. If it was faster to cook id be there more often, but the 15 min wait requires preorder or dine in. Would die for drive thru read more

We went there for a late lunch. The service was good. We got the tofu soup, spicy rice cake, crispy fried chicken and BBQ short rib. The fried chicken was really crispy but not very well seasoned in the center. The short ribs were so chewy... The seafood soup was pretty good. Spicy rice cake was chewy too. Overall, just ok read more

We love korean fried chicken and we wanted to check Ogam out. We've had a bunch of fried chicken while in Seoul and found it a great snack to have while enjoying some drinks. Ogam was not bad for majority of their korean food (the japchae was not bad but a bit small). The fried chicken had too much batter on it. Korean friend chicken normally is a bit lighter and crispier, but I found that I was eating more batter than chicken. We tried the regular and the sweet and spicy version and liked the saucy a bit more. read more

Good food although their prices keep increasing! Their chicken are dry sometimes but love their bbq lunch boxes!

Love this. I will eat here whenever we are around this area. Awesome staff. Servings are so big considering prices aren't so bad. Everything's very well- flavored. 10 thumbs up for ogam!!! :) read more

I was told this place discriminates against service dogs. As a Seeing Eye dog handler, I find this unacceptable. An apology and staff sensitivity training are in order. read more

Hands down the best fried chicken I have ever had. My only qualm is their delivery options - ie. you cannot add side sauce to family packs as there is no option for this and when added to the notes to add this, they ignore the request. There is however an option for this on certain items, but it shouldn't be selective. read more

Open till 8:00pm but turn customers away at 7:30pm unless ordering take out. How does this make sense, the food is being made regardless. Terrible business practice. read more

The short ribs 4 of the 10 pieces were all fat, so it was unable to be eaten. Terrible service, filled water only once. The chicken bites had no sauce, as it had to be separately purchased. Min. service fee is 15%. The worst Korea restaurant we have ever tried, never come again. read more

One of the best places in Calgary to get some fried chicken, don't miss the bulgogi dishes either. Top notch!

Today, I placed an order. Just a simple order for 15pc bites. I could barely understand the person speaking on the phone as she was talking to me. I told her my order and she read it back to me wrong. So I repeated it again and asked her to read it back to me, she quickly read it and brushed me off. Before hanging up, I said my order one more time and she goes "yeah yeah, see you in 15 minutes". Once I arrived to Ogam, 20 min later, they gave me my order and before I was about to pay I saw the screen said something different. I asked them what the order was and they said it was 5 pcs of chicken. I told them that I ordered 15pc bites and told whoever I was speaking with on the phone with that I tried to confirm my order 3 TIMES. They told me "sorry" and to wait 10 more minutes for my order. They didn't even do anything to compensate for their mistake or horrible service!! And finally, once I arrived home with my order, I saw that they only gave me 10pcs of the chicken bites!! Delicious food, but TERRIBLE service! Not even worth going back to argue. Ogam is on my way home but Wow Chicken in Kensington makes the same delicious chicken and is worth travelling out of the way for. read more

I've eaten here a few times. The food is very good and consistent. I really like the chicken but lately I've been ordering other things. The bibimbap is great! Love how clean this place is too! read more
