GOGIYA KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN - Ottawa, Ontario

We had the shrimp tempera and Gogiya chicken appetizers but there are several poke bowls which I will order next time. The atmosphere was relaxed at 1:15. The restaurant is extremely clean and welcoming.

It doesn't look like much from the street, but I was really happy with the korean fried chicken I got here! Ordered the boneless bites to be half original/half honey garlic which was nice of them to accomodate. They were cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. Also ordered as a side, their cheese ... balls. Boy, those things are like candy. Sweet and savory, super delicious. Highly recommend tagging those onto your order. Give them a shot, you won't be dissapointed. (And that's a recommendation coming from someone who lives in Vancouver) Read more

Our adventurous appetite led us to select both the spicy chicken and the gold cheese chicken wings - a choice that promised excitement. Admittedly, our anticipation grew as the kitchen, grappling with the evening’s demands, took its time preparing our order. Yet, the wait receded into insignificance once the dishes arrived. Each bite of the chicken, served piping hot and brimming with juiciness, underscored a culinary expertise we couldn’t fault. The flavors were bold, satisfying our craving and then some.
