Whoa, my last review of this chicken shop was from 2013, so maybe it's time to update. This shop is different than most of the local Korean fried chicken chains because their prices are insanely lower, no tipping, and they serve whole pieces of chicken. The spicy here is VERY spicy. The real hidden food at this spot is their king kimchi dumplings, order them. read more

I've been eying ToreOre Chicken for years now and finally found the time to head here for lunch one day. Located in the H Mart food court in Suwannee, ToreOre is the stall at the end of the food court. We wanted Korean fried chicken, obviously. There are different combos and flavors. We initially ordered the half serving of the garlic flavor, but we changed to hot sweet and spicy at the last minute. The timing was right (and so was the price) as the price was the same for those flavors, and they had just taken the chicken out and were about to marinate in sauce. We also noticed the steamed dumplings so we ordered some of those, too. The chicken was tasty - crispy and flavorful, although pretty standard Korean fried chicken. What really surprised me was the mandoo. They were HUGE! The filling was flavorful and delicious. I liked it even better than the chicken. Overall, I was really happy with our meal. While I may not drive up to Suwannee just for the fried chicken, I JUST might for those dumplings! read more

Located in the hmart food court. The fried chicken was really tasty. The hot spicy chicken is really really spicy.

Best fresh Korean fried chicken in the area! I stop here once a week. FYI a 7 piece isn't really a 7 piece . It's a half chicken cut up into 7 pieces. Which is misleading if you aren't aware. Outside of that. Amazing. read more

I touched on ToreOre in my Suwanee Super H Mart review, but came all the way back to H Mart just to eat at ToreOre again. This place deserves its own review. I can't believe it had only three reviews before mine. ToreOre is known for it's delicious Korean double-fried chicken. There is one other location in the Atlanta area (that I'm aware of), at the Johns Creek H Mart. You can order the chicken to eat there in the food court or get it to go. If you order the chicken to go, they package your chicken neatly in a special box with lined with tissue paper (to soak up the grease) and handles. The box is designed to keep your chicken crispy. ToreOre chicken starts at 10 pieces (wings and drumsticks) at $6.99. You can mix and match different flavors, even for orders as small as 10 pieces. The restaurant offers the regular "marinade" fried chicken, sweet & spicy chicken, garlic tasty chicken, marinade chicken nuggets, and spicy chicken nuggets. The chicken is served with a small container of pickled daikon and sweet ketchup. My favorite flavor is the garlic tasty chicken. It's packed with a ton of flavor. The skin on all flavors is extra crispy. Your fingers will get oily when eating this stuff. While the chicken is oily, it's not as greasy as you'd expect. The ladies working at this location are really nice. One time, one of them gave me a ToreOre magnet clip for my fridge. The chicken takes at least 15 minutes to prepare as all orders are cooked-to-order. You may either want to call ahead (770-932-9517) or place your order and get some grocery shopping done instead of waiting. Since it comes straight from the fryer, the chicken comes to you super hot. I can't say this stuff is healthy for you, but boy is it tasty! read more

Since we'd already made the trek to Suwanee to check out Umaido, we decided to check out ToreOre's Korean fried chicken, too - doing a copycat of what Kit F did after his Umaido visit :) ToreOre is located in the Super H Mart food court. According to a press release, they use "never frozen" fresh chicken that's been marinated for 12-24 hrs w/ a special flour that's mixed w/ 5 different grains - brown rice, black peas, barley, millet, and they didn't mention the 5th grain. So they say it's "very healthy" fried chicken - hahahahaha :) We were full from dinner so we got just a small order of the "marinated fried chicken" for $6.99 which included 7 pieces. The chicken is fried to order so you do have to wait - but it's worth the wait. As soon as it came to our table, we were all saying how it smelled like funnel cake - it really does! The meat was perfection, tender & juicy, maybe even slightly sweet. It wasn't Bonchon but it was very good. Next time I'd like to try their hot sweet & spicy fried chicken, and their garlic fried chicken. read more

ToreOre is located in the Hmart supermarket food court. Normally food court quality is questionable but the fried chicken here is excellent. They have different flavors but my favorite is sweet and spicy. The no. 6 combo which includes 4 pieces of chicken, Fried rice and salad and drink for less than $10 is a pretty good deal. They cook everything to order and chicken takes about 13 - 15 minutes. Sometimes I call in the order to the owners cellphone when I am on my way so I don't have to wait. Yeah I go there that often. read more

Best fried chicken I've had aside from Hattie Bs. The garlic chicken here is incredible. I got it to-go so, the steam in the styrofoam box softened the skin a bit and I live 10 minutes from the restaurant but it was still soooooooo good. The flavor of the chicken is so surprising. Don't go here expecting wing dings, I'm going to be honest, a couple of the shapes were a little suspect, found myself asking "what part of the chicken is this?" Despite my confusion, i still ate it. I can't imagine how good this would be if I had ate it fresh in the food hall. I will definitely be back. I also can't wait to try the original marinade and the dumplings. It's going to be a while though because the garlic is addicting. read more

ToreOre Chicken and Joy - 7 Piece Garlic $8.99 - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Great service! Great chicken! Great price! I love to stop by here just for a quick lunch for either chicken or mandoo, but the variety of their menu is crazy large! Really hoping they open a second location out of the food court. Always looking forward to it! read more

This place also says mandoo ahjuhssi which basically means dumpling man. They started as a fried chicken place (they still do that) but they specialize in dumplings . I def recommend the dumplings over chicken. I've had this place multiple times. All Koreans who've had this place's dumpling will only come here to eat dumpling bc this is be BEST Korean dumpling you'll ever have. (Comparable to ones you'll have in actual Korea) Before yesterday I've only tried their steamed dumpling (8 piece for $6.99 either kimchi, meat, or veggie like chives) There are four styles of dumpling Most popular- steamed Second- fried Third - inside soup (broth is like beef bone broth) Fourth- frozen (you can buy packs of their famous dumpling and cook it at home...I've tried this and it tastes just as good as if you order fresh) But I decided to try their noodle soup with dumpling and their lunch special of krn fried chicken + salad + fried rice + and a soda. The 3 piece fried chicken on the picture provided in their menu looks small and not rly worth the $8.99 but when it came out it was giant (not wings but actual legs and thighs). They also gave me a lot of fried rice and it's one of the best fried rice I've had. Not only was food good but service was great. The owner guy made sure I had access to the hot sauce (for the fried rice) and he gave me an extra spoon so I could get a taste of my bfs soup. Bf loved his soup. Don't be afraid to try the dumpling or lunch special! read more

ToreOre Chicken and Joy - Lunch special- a LOT of fried rice and 3 pic of Korean fried chicken and salad with thousand island dressing - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

Just to let people know, get the dumplings instead of the chicken. Most Koreans know this restaurant as the dumpling place, not a chicken place. The owner/chef is an interesting guy. Not as mean as the Soup nazi in Seinfeld, but equally passionate about his dumplings. Get them steamed or fried. Can't go wrong. They also sell in bulk frozen for home. read more

Stopped inside H Mart to shop for some fresh produce and then decided to have some lunch inside the foodcourt. Chose ToreOre. Food: Got the 7piece garlic tasty fried chicken ($8.99). I was expecting it to be super crunchy Korean fried chicken. I was disappointed in the texture and crunchiness because it happened to have the "exact" same texture and crunchiness to that of KFC chicken (where the soft and sometimes soggy from the grease-breading falls off the meat when you bite into it). Aside from that, the flavor was good (got garlic fried chicken but did not taste any garlic flavor). Still good though, hence the 3 stars. Service: very nice and polite people here. Free water is available in small white styrofoam cups. Can't complain. Overall: because I love food, yes I will continue to come here for the fried chicken. Yes I do recommend giving this place a try. If you want super crunchy Korean fried chicken then go elsewhere. It's funny, but Ai Tunes (karaoke place) actually had some really, really amazing and deliciously super crunchy Korean fried chicken. That's one of my many go to places for Korean fried chicken when I am craving it. Also thanks to Maangchi (YouTube), I have learned how to cook it too! read more

ToreOre Chicken and Joy - ToreOre garlic tasty fried chicken. 7pieces for $8.99 - Korean Near Me - Suwanee, Georgia

I'm loving me some KFC...Korean Fried Chicken (badabing)! Crispy as hell with a slightly sweet taste in the perfectly fried skin. The inside was ultra moist. I will say eat the chicken quickly; I found that in the styrofoam box the skin slightly steamed despite the whole cut in to the side. Well worth the 15 minute wait. read more

Forget the fried chicken (which is pretty decent here), try their dumplings. They're freshly handmade, and oh god their dumpling stew (jun gol) is the bomb. Reminds me of Korea. read more

3.5 I like My Favorite Chicken Cheogajip's fried chicken more ....it's just a personal preference I think.. but it was still pretty good ..service was great ..but I highly recommend you eat the chicken there when it's hot and fresh read more

My favorite chicken place in the area! It's no lie that this place has the BEST fries in GA, either. Consistent and high quality service!

OMG! This chicken has to be one of the best I've ever eaten and that says alot! So far I've had the marinated fried chicken and the garlic chicken. The garlic one kinda tastes like a sweeter version of General Tso's chicken. The packaging is great, but the chicken is best to eat right away. Although it is fried, its not that greasy, even when you come back to the surviving pieces later. I do wish that they would offer rice as a side though. When you go, be prepared for a wait. This isn't KFC where they have rows of deep fried chicken under a heat lamp waiting for someone to buy them. It takes about 15-25 min. to cook, but so worth the wait! read more

I was waiting in line for about 5 minutes before another customer got in line right behind me. Mind you, they clearly saw me coming up and wanting to order but decided to ignore me anyways. Finally a guy in white apron came up to the register, didn't even bother making eye contact with me, looked straight at the other customer and asked what he wanted to order. The customer immediately pointed to me saying that I was first... so I looked at the customer and was like... OMFG, what kind of service is this? I was so pissed, but decided that I stood in line long enough, I'm going to order my food dangit! I've been wanting to try their fried chicken for so long, I'm not going to let this douche ruin it for me. Anyways, so I order the garlicky fried chicken. 8 pieces for $8.99 and 14 pieces for $14.99 or something like that. I couldn't remember exactly. It takes about 15-20 min. before you get the order because they fry it fresh per order. The order comes with a side of pickled diced daikon. The chicken were super crispy, but I didn't taste a whole lot of garlic in it. Also, they chopped everything into smaller pieces that would normally come in 1 whole piece at any fried chicken joint. So, a piece of thigh is chopped into 2, a chicken breast is chopped into 2-3 pieces, battered to the max and deep fried. So it looks like you get a lot for your money until you bite into it. It was tasty but could use a lot more flavor. You can't put out a name such as "Garlicky" and not taste any garlic. BUT, it was super super crunchy and it wasn't so greasy. I don't care for the service but I'll give it another try soon. read more

I don't come here for the fried chicken; I come here for the dumplings. Actually, I've only had the fried chicken once and I really liked it. Korean fried chicken is totally different from American fried chicken. Anyways, the dumplings are delicious and they can be bought steamed or you can order some raw so that you can take it home and cook it as you like. They also serve dumplings in soup form with and without noodles. The only stuffing, though, is beef and kimchi and they only offer two kinds of dumplings. When dining in, which I prefer to do, the ladies will offer a spicy kimchi&chives option for you to add to your dish if you would like; otherwise, danmooji/yellow pickled radishes and a soy sauce - type dish are the regular side dishes. Also, their dumplings are made fresh daily. You can even watch them being made while waiting for your order. Can't beat that! read more

Spicy and sweet fried chicken and the steamed dumplings with beef were great. The service was very courteous. We were warned of the spice when we ordered the chicken, and it was very spicy, but with a great taste. The man who took our order was very friendly. Great value. read more

The chicken wings are plump and juicy, jumbo I might add. The price is awesome! The wait............well, it isn't McDonald's fast. But it's worth it. I'd give it 5 stars if they had lemon pepper wings...the standard by which all chicken wings would be rated. Alas, they had garlic wings. No ranch or celery (It's KOREAN stoopid!) As long as you have a pack of mint gum afterwards, you are good to go! read more

The sweet and spicy fried chicken is amazing. We also like the honey garlic chicken too. I think we will try some dumplings next time bc that's what they are known for . read more

This is my favorite place for takeout! The dumplings are handmade everyday. And you can get them frozen to cook at home. My to go is the garlic tasty and hot and spicy for their fried chicken. Dumplings, I prefer mine steamed. Kimchi and beef dumplings. Korean fried chicken and dumplings are served with sauce and radishes. The owners are very nice and sweet. read more

The first time I came to H Mart to try ToreOre, I got the tasty garlic chicken that they're so popular for. It's great but the real star to me are the dumplings. They're incredibly fresh and huge. Bonus points for dumplings in their soup with rice cakes! Incredibly comforting on a rainy day. I'm a repeat customer for their dumplings. read more

Picked up an order of their uncooked veggie and kimchee mandoo for our traditional New Year's dumpling soup. They both were full of delicious filling and were very fresh. Can't go wrong with their mandoo here. read more

The chicken is really good, but I would be careful to not order the sweet and spicy chicken. It kind of made me sick since they use a lot of ketchup in the sauce. Either than that the Garlic chicken was good. ^^ read more

I ate the dumplings and it was not bad... but I know they can make it better because it taste like 100% homemade dumplings. Add some msg

ToreOre's made-to-order fried chicken is ultimately a bit of a letdown. The menu here is pretty simple: choose from marinated fried chicken, sweet & spicy chicken, hot sweet & spicy chicken, garlic tasty chicken, marinated chicken nuggets, or spicy chicken nuggets. Everything is fried to order, so while you should expect a ten-minute wait, your food comes out fresh and piping hot. I've only had the marinated fried chicken, which runs $6.99 for seven pieces and $13.99 for fourteen. Other flavors are sold at a small premium ($7.99 for seven pieces and $14.99 for fourteen). It all comes with pickled radish and a vaguely ketchup-like dipping sauce. But while ToreOre claims that their fried chicken is "marinated," I've found it to be some of the blandest I've ever eaten -- the meat is incredibly dry and flavorless. And while prices might seem reasonable at first, be prepared to for some seriously small pieces of chicken. I ended up appreciating the packaging much more than I did the food; take-out orders are neatly packaged in fancy, vented boxes proprietary to the franchise. Of course, since ToreOre is located in the Suwanee Super H Mart's food court, there are plenty of tables and seats on which you can choose to dine in. But given the wealth of other options in an average Super H Mart food court, I'm not sure I'll be back. read more

Best korean fried chicken ever. Would totally recommend staff is very friendly chicken is cooked good and flavorful. They really take there time and make your food. read more

Best dumplings in Georgia! I recommend the beef dumplings steamed or fried. My favorite is the steamed.

I like this place better than cheogajip. Only if they actually had a store and not in a food court. The garlic one and spicy one is really good. read more

Great Chicken, poor service and limited hours. Success makes this place lose the customer service attitude. It is a shame, because they did a very good job at 1st. read more

Don't forget about the chicken. I tried both Manduguk and Marinated chicken and I liked then both. Especially the chicken. Yeah, the chicken. The Manduguk is good and they serve us with hot pepper paste, kimchi, and danmuji which are a lot fresher compared to other restaurants side dishes served in food courts of asian markets. They cared about the crispiness of the chicken and i saw them marinating fresh chicken which seemed to be done in a CLEAN environment. The Suwanee chicken and the one in Johns Creek H mart was never as crispy as the fried chicken here. I believe it's the fresh ingredients that makes the difference. They also make mandu and we all can see it from the table so I give them a credit for making food in a right way. I love this place and will comeback for that mandu and chicken. read more

Don't know why all these people are complaining about the chicken quality. The chicken has tasted great every time I've been there aka moist meat, crispy skin, good sauce. Dumplings are amazing. Good fair prices as well. The restaurant name is ToreOre and they have their own way of making the food. If you like another restaurant over this than great. Don't use it as a means to shame a perfectly fine restaurant. To the people are in the area wanting some korean fried chicken and dumplings, give this place a shot! Batter is light and crispy and you can really taste the seasoning quite well. And the dumpling hype is not overrated. read more

I've had the Hot and Spicy chicken from ToreOre before (Chicago) which was delicious and super spicy. The one from here is not as spicy. It's still good, but I prefer the really hot and spicy one from Chicago. Also, the chicken does not come in the red box like it's supposed to. They serve the chicken in regular white styrofoam boxes. In all, I'd order from here again, but I would tell them to make the chicken spicier. read more
