ChiKing City in Frankfurt am Main

A real insider tip in Frankfurt – ChiKing City impresses across the board! I was recently at ChiKing City in Frankfurt and was absolutely thrilled - everything was just right here, from the food to the service to the atmosphere. If you are looking for delicious, freshly prepared dishes with a touch of Asian and modern fast food cuisine, you will definitely find what you are looking for here. Food & Quality: The dishes are not only a real highlight in terms of taste, but also of excellent quality. Everything I ordered was freshly prepared, served hot and seasoned excellently. I would particularly like to emphasize the crispiness of the chicken – nice and crunchy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The side dishes such as rice, fries and vegetables were also perfectly coordinated and lovingly prepared. The portions are more than sufficient and definitely fill you up without being overwhelming. In addition, the food didn't take 10 minutes to arrive - after about 5-10 minutes my entire menu was ready and fresh in front of me. An impressive achievement for a fast food restaurant of this type! Service: The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful. As soon as I entered I was greeted warmly, given good advice when ordering and all special requests were implemented without any problems. The processes were well organized, the team seemed well-coordinated and you had the feeling of being really welcome. Despite the rush, time was taken for each guest, which I found very pleasant. Ambiance & cleanliness: The store is modern, bright and clean. There are seating options for individuals as well as groups or families. Everything looks well-kept – from the tables to the sanitary facilities. The relaxed atmosphere invites you to stay a little longer and enjoy your meal in peace. The open kitchen also allows you to see how the food is freshly prepared - another plus for transparency and trust. Vegetarian options: Vegetarians also get their money's worth here. There is a good selection of meat-free options, as well as the ability to customize certain menus. The ingredients are varied and very balanced in terms of taste - definitely not just a side dish, but full-fledged dishes. Prices: The prices are absolutely fair, especially when you take into account the portion sizes, quality and freshness of the ingredients. For under 15 euros you can get a complete, filling menu including a drink - so the price-performance ratio is right across the board. Child-friendliness: ChiKing City is also suitable for families with children. There's enough space to sit comfortably even with a stroller, and the friendly, laid-back atmosphere makes it easy to eat there with children. In addition, some dishes are mildly spiced and therefore also suitable for younger guests. Accessibility with a wheelchair: Access is generally possible, although individual areas - depending on the location - could be a bit tight for wheelchair users. With a little support, either from a companion or the helpful staff, nothing should stand in the way of a visit. Conclusion: ChiKing City is a clear recommendation for me - whether for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner or a meeting with friends. Fast service, excellent food, fair prices and a friendly atmosphere make this shop one of the best addresses for Asian-inspired fast food in Frankfurt. I'll definitely be back!

Never go. Listen to me. Please read until the end. Please look at the picture. That kind of chicken appears in the picture. It came out less than 5 minutes after I ordered it. Huh? I tried it, but the chicken was served at a level that we should pay for. It is not run by Koreans, but by people from other Asian countries. It's so tough and my jaw hurts. Hey, it would be okay if you go and try it in person, the old reviews are good, right? Don't even think about going. I need to quickly throw away more than 15 euros right now, but only those who say they have no place to throw it away should go.

I had enjoyed it since it first started at Everyday Plus, so even when it moved to Höchst, I thought it was the same place where I bought it even though it was a long distance away. The non-fried chicken they serve is not crispy, but hard, and it stands out clearly from the batter, and at the same time, the meat is so tough like jerky that it makes my jaw drop. If they sell this in Korea, it will be ruined right away. They put it in a container smaller than a side dish container without even filling it. This is a bit embarrassing for Korean chicken.

We ordered menu 2 and 3. The portions were very large, so the price was fair. However, the fried chicken was very dry despite the thick sauce that was in it. The meat was not of good quality and was tough. Accordingly, unfortunately a very disappointing experience and not recommended.

The chicken was extremely dry and the snow chicken hardly had any cheese powder on it. However, the portions were very large! I thought the free cabbage starter was very cool. There are lots of seating options but also a lot of crowds! Unfortunately, reservations are not possible.

The cheapest chicken shop I've ever eaten at!

Service very friendly. But the chicken is very bad. 70% breading, 30% dry, tough meat. Price is ok. I can't recommend the food

Overall, our visit to Chiking Frankfurt was an interesting experience with some ups and downs. Food (4.5/5 ⭐) We ordered Tteokbokki, Garlic Chicken, Yangnyeom Chicken and Yangyum Wings. The food was consistently delicious - the chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and had an intense flavor. The garlic chicken in particular had a great seasoning, and the yangyum chicken and yangyum wings impressed with their slightly sweet and spicy sauce. The wings were particularly juicy and well marinated. The tteokbokki (rice cake in spicy sauce) was also well prepared, although the sauce could have had a little more depth for our taste. Overall, the taste was very successful! Service (3/5 ⭐) Unfortunately, the service was less than convincing. Although nine of us each ordered a main course, we were only served three small coleslaws. When we politely asked whether it was possible to have salad for all guests, we received a rude and not very customer-friendly answer. Unfortunately, this somewhat spoiled the positive impression of the food. The restaurant has a modern, appealing atmosphere that fits well with Korean street food culture. The prices are fair for the quality of the food, although the service could have been much better to round out the entire experience. Conclusion Food great, service needs improvement! If you're in the mood for authentic, crispy Korean helal fried chicken, you're in good hands here. The Yangnyeom Wings in particular are a clear recommendation! If the service was more customer friendly, the experience would be perfect. Still a recommendation for lovers of Korean cuisine!

Fries were okay... But the chickens had totally false ambition... Cold hard and very toe... By KoreanFriedChicken I mean something different, so I don't understand the whole hype or the people who say it's the best chicken they've ever eaten

I love chiking!!! I already celebrated it very much at the main train station, and now the reopening in the city is really well received 🤩 the atmosphere there and especially the chicken is super delicious! (Especially the lunch menu is great) one of my favorite restaurant in ffm!

The chicken was too oily and the sauce tasted too strong but not very pleasant.

We were here for lunch and took the lunch special. You can't complain about price performance, fair price and the quantity is decent. In terms of taste, the chicken was tasty, but perhaps a little too crispy for my taste. And the rice was a bit mushy. The restaurant is not run by Koreans, even though you might think so from the menu. In my opinion, the negative comments are exaggerated. You can easily go there for lunch. However, the influencer hype is completely exaggerated.

Chicken was super sweet and very dry. Maybe it was just our batch but it was not tasty at all.

not a real Korean restaurant. it is a Chinese running restaurant. we were very disappointed with the quality of food.

Best Korean Fried Chicken in town! Delicious fried chicken (even halal for our Muslim brothers and sisters) with great sauces. The Gochugang version in slightly spicy is the best! Can really recommend this store 🙏🏽

Extremely delicious Korean fried chicken with a wide selection and great service. There's a huge selection of sauces, all of which are really good. You can also choose the spiciness level for each chicken dish. The ambiance is modern and appealing.

subsided. 5-10 months ago the meat, the sauces and the overall appearance of the dishes were at a top level. Meanwhile, the meat tastes inferior, the sauces are unseasoned and not set properly, and the chicken is poorly fried. This may have something to do with the new locations - perhaps there is a lack of experienced chefs or there is not enough time for preparation? I hope you take this review to heart because I really liked your restaurant. I've also heard from others that the quality has deteriorated. It would be a shame if this trend continued.

Literally the best Korean fried chicken in town! Very affordable, very yummy. I always order one plate for my daughter and me, and the quantity is more than enough

Been here for the first and last time. A queue in front of the store. After 15 minutes we were allocated a table outside. Waitress takes the orders. I ask if there are peanuts in the dish and I get a “do you want it or not?” I'm allergic to peanuts hence my question. Then waited 1 hour for the food, which wasn't even good. You could have had the fried chicken at KFC and it would have tasted even better. Also such an unfriendly waitress. Never again.

We went there on the recommendation of a colleague and had high expectations, but unfortunately, they weren't met. The service was disastrous; we waited over an hour for our food, and when we asked when it would finally be ready, we were rudely told that it would come at some point. Despite the poor service and the long wait, we didn't just get up and keep waiting. When the food arrived, it was cold and tasted nothing like what we'd been told. The food was not tasty; I can't recommend this place to anyone.

Best Korean Fried Chicken in Town

Super delicious, highly recommended!

Very tasty and quick service. They are also pet friendly!

The lunch menu available during weekday lunches is a very attractive option as you can enjoy a meal and a drink for about 15 euros!

Really super tasty and large portions. Unfortunately the location is near the main station, which is a bit uncomfortable for me simply because it always seems so dangerous there.

The food was of the highest quality and the staff provided extremely professional and friendly service. The service reached a remarkably high level.

Good but don't understand the hype

Chi best waiter should definitely get a raise, if not the boss position!

We were there in the evening and had reserved in advance, which I strongly recommend if you want to eat with several people. The service was very quick and the food was on the table with little waiting time. The chicken is crispy and very tasty. A little more sharpness would have been cool. Thank you, it was a nice and rich evening. The toilets are not very attractive and are in desperate need of renovation.

Employee Felix really delivered top service! Courteous, fast, flexible. Great experience. I'd love to come back!

Very tasty food in large portions, if only I was German I'd return there every so often! great value and super cool interior design

Checking was good. The staff is rather reserved.

I didn't know Korean Fried Chicken. Very sticky greasy matter, not crispy either. A lot of Asian guests, which is a good thing. Staff was friendly. Food wasn't really my thing, but it was personal taste.

El lugar parecía muy publicitado, vivimos al otro lado y podíamos ver a la gente en señal todos los días para conseguir una mesa. Por lo tanto, esperábamos que fuera extremadamente bueno. El concepto es pollo frito coreano con diferentes lados al estilo americano. Los lados donde bien y las salsas para el pollo sabían bien. Pero el pollo que se vende donde det y la masa ligeramente quemado. No es una buena experiencia y no entiendo la pelusa. No puedo recomendar.

If you feel like breading, this is the right place for you. Absolute shit!!!

Nice option in the city if you try korean fried chicken

You can't go wrong here, the food is delicious and the service is friendly.

I lived in Korea before and was craving spring onion chicken. I was disappointed. The batter was way too hard, they gave very little sauce which did not taste authentic, and some pieces tasted off, like the chicken being old and almost inedible. The only thing I enjoyed was the beer. Never again 😒

Great restaurant, but unfortunately the interior design is a bit cold

Sure! Here's a review for you: Review: Kereon Fried Wings at Chiking City, Frankfurt If you’re a fan of crispy, flavorful wings, the Kereon Fried Wings from Chiking City in Frankfurt are a must-try! These wings were absolutely amazing—perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The seasoning was spot-on, packed with rich flavor in every bite. Not only were they delicious, but they were also served piping hot and incredibly fresh. You can tell the quality is top-notch, and the attention to detail in preparation makes all the difference. Whether you're a wing lover or just craving something satisfying, these won’t disappoint. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back for more.

The food was good, but the ambience and service were a bit chaotic.

Very good fried chicken in a sauce you choose. Nice servers. Great value too as two people can easily share one order. All of the food is halal. Highly recommend

Best Korean Chicken in Hesse and the surrounding area The food was very tasty and not too expensive. We were two people and paid a total of €32 for two pieces of chicken in size “M” and two drinks In addition, this amount of delicious Korean chicken will definitely feed two people. If there had been four of us, we would have ordered two sizes “L” each, which would have been enough

Lunch menu only recommended 13.50 for chicken fries drink salad melon. Anything that fills you up for lunch

The food was really very tasty and even too much, it doesn't sound like much on the menu, but the chicken portions are huge. I can only recommend it.

Korean fast food with good and fairly priced lunch plates, which essentially consist of fried chicken pieces with various sauces. Very tasty, but if you want something different, you shouldn't visit a Chiking 😉

It's not far from the train station and the food is served very quickly. Being able to speak Chinese really helps a lot.

Really good! Very crispy chicken and a decent selection of toppings. Highly recommend this place! It can get quite busy in the evening so best to head there a bit earlier. I don't know why this place hasn't got a rating closer to 5*!

Massive portions and great service 🐣

The chicken was our family favourite until end of 2024, but early 2025 we were here and the chicken was horrible. It was hard to chew and wasn't fresh at all. Just too much flour. The service was still very good though, quick and the waiters were all mostly friendly.

Danger! Hands off!! This is the first time I've rated a restaurant on Google with only one star. I just can't understand how you can deep fry a chicken like that. The chicken was "killed" twice. The first time it lost its life, the second time the taste was destroyed. It seems like it was stored for a long time and then fried again. We ordered four dishes. Three of them were very dry and tasteless. The Yangnyum chicken is just disgusting. The sauce tastes weird, and the “medium hot” version isn’t spicy at all. Despite the sauce, the chicken remains dry and tasteless. The coleslaw tastes like a cheap supermarket product - even ready-made products taste better. After a few bites we really wanted to vomit. We just don't understand how fried chicken can be made so poorly. It's just disgusting!

Super tasty, toilet area absolutely unacceptable. Therefore one star less.

The food and the staff were so lovely, if anyone wants chicken, this is the place to go!

Despite the many negative reviews, I still visited this restaurant and I have to honestly say that I don't regret it in any way! The food was there within 10 minutes, perfect for someone who was very hungry. It was really very crispy and taste was good too! I can only recommend the homemade Yamyung sauce and the fries were TOP too! Size M (400g) is enough for one person. You'll get full! The price is also totally acceptable. The staff was also very nice, which is why I can't understand why the reviews complain about the service. For someone who likes a nice crunchy breading, I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

The best fried chicken in Frankfurt! The sauces are unique and the taste is simply outstanding. Price-performance is absolutely right, and the coleslaw on the side gives the whole thing the final kick. Simply brilliant – I’d love to come back!

Ate two different chicken (small portions) and tteokbokki here. Everything actually tastes delicious, but the chicken simply has more breading than meat. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they like it... Sauces are good and portions are filling enough. Tteolbokki are a bit very thin.

The food was really tasty, arrived super quickly and, especially for Korean Fried Chicken, incredibly cheap. Service & ambience were also good. We'll definitely be back!

Super delicious! An M portion of chicken is easily enough for one person. The bestseller Yangnyum is awesome, and the garlic soy sauce is also recommended ☺️

Really wanted to like it here but I am also one of the cases that got severe food poisoning. The service was fast and good. We went late at night and it reminded me of spots in London and New York where you grab a hearty meal after a night out. So it could have been such a good experience if I didn't have to vomit everything less than an hour after the meal. I also spent 3 hours in the bathroom for gastrointestinal issues that took 2 days to fully recover. Sidenote: I eat a lot of fried chicken and very spicy food incl Korean cuisine for years so this is not a case of someone reacting to the food due to a sensitive stomach. It was definitely unsanitary and the kitchen's state was not the best from a quick look. Please do better.

We've been chiking with my husband several times. However, the last few times it didn't taste as good as it did at the beginning. The chicken with garlic soy sauce was a complete disappointment. The sauce was floating around at the bottom and the chicken had no sauce at all, i.e. they weren't soaked in the sauce at all. Dipping the chicken in the sauce didn't work either. The meat was sometimes so dark that in the end I was just disgusted and didn't eat it anymore. Above all, the chicken didn't taste as if you had ordered the same oil to fry it 300 times, it was too dry and had a really strange aftertaste. The dokkbokki was delicious but for a mini portion 10€?? Just intense. When we got home, the food was so strangely heavy in our stomachs. After about 2 hours I vomited twice in a row and spit out the food I ate there. My husband complained of stomach pain and has a fever this morning and is in bed. The friend who came with us also has severe stomach pain and has been feeling poorly since yesterday evening. I suspect we all have food poisoning. As a pregnant woman, I'm twice as worried and I'm just happy that my body reacted so quickly so that I'm feeling better now. We also sat at the back of the aisle, I assume right next to the toilet. It just smelled like urine and sweat. Just disgusting. The wait staff, who were younger, were super nice. However, the slightly older gentleman and the ladies were not so friendly. We won't visit it again. Save your money and eat better somewhere else.

Very good Korean BBQ. Best without bones and depending on how many you eat, divide the shells, then you can mix different types. The best are the garlic and cheese chicken

A pretty simple Halal Korean restaurant in the heart of Frankfurt am Main. The service is quick and evenings it is always pretty full here, a reservation is recommended.

Great chicken! We like coming here.

Best spot in Frankfurt when it comes to Korean fried chicken. The meat is healthy and very tasty.

Best fried chicken I've ever eaten. I recommend the bestseller! And an M portion is definitely enough for 2 people! I can only recommend it :)

Food very tasty, service cool but quick and ambience could be improved. I would still polish there again, it is recommended.

Its was sooo good i want to eat their chicken every day.

Favorite food spot in Frankfurt. Nothing comes close to it! If i had a choice to have just one food for the lifetime id probably go with their chicken

When I was there, it was full. But really the chicken is really delicious and the meat is halal

One of the best fried chicken I've eaten, what I really liked was the service - I know it from abroad. In Turkey the waiters are just as quick and I have to say this is one of the few shops in Germany where the service was almost at the same level, and the taste was also great.

Nice shop that is often busy. The Garlic Soy Chicken was really tasty – nice and juicy and well seasoned! The portion M was also completely sufficient. But unfortunately the golden fried chicken and fries disappointed. The chicken had hardly any flavor and the breading really needed some seasoning. The fries were also rather bland. All in all okay, but there is definitely still room for improvement.

You managed to make Korean chicken my favorite meal!! So incredibly tasty and cheap at the same time. The tea was good too. I can only recommend everything :))

By far one of the best Korean Fried Chicken I’ve had. Also very affordable.

The food was okay. Had a brief glimpse into the kitchen… a disaster!! Totally unhygienic. Toilets stink and are as dirty as anything. Employee was in the toilet and went to the kitchen without washing his hands. My food came back up afterwards... NEVER AGAIN AND ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED.

Bad bad bad…. And grossly overrated. No, no, once and never again. The meat is a disaster, you have the feeling you are eating the remains of a rotten chicken that is covered in excessive breading. So with this shop you are making real Korean cuisine look really bad. Side dishes weren't particularly special either. Service well… I won’t say anything about it.

I just finished eating. The meal was incredibly good! The chicken is tender! I recommend it to you!! It reminded me of South Korea when I went in March 2024. The service is very fast! The dish was served in 10-15 minutes. When I'm in Frankfurt again, I'll come here to eat 😊

I love garlic soy chicken (very spicy 🌶️)

Super good Korean fried chicken! The lunch menu is really fairly priced and goes quickly. Great recommendation for lunch!

The maximum meat overload - simply delicious! Korean chicken comes in all flavors here and all the ones I tried were delicious. The dishes are delivered quickly and the service is top notch. It's also very cool that you can eat something late in the evening

It tastes brutal, but it's gone way down, I've been going here for a year, at the beginning there were real chicken pieces in it, now 50% chicken 50% breading, we had gr. L and slda had maybe 10 pieces of chicken in it, the rest was just broken meat, skin and breading, usually early size. M = 12 chicken size. L = 24 Weak today, I'm going to the competition from today

Staff is very friendly, shop is also fine. Unfortunately I don't like the food at all, lots of breading and little meat.

It used to be good, now it's a disaster! We paid €30 for a large pack of chicken parts. What arrived was a package of a lot of small chicken leftovers/fat/skin fried with sauce. It's unbelievable, but I even say that maybe 5% was actually meat (see photo, just fried leftovers). And the 5% meat tasted very bad, even stale. Not juicy but dry with a disgusting aftertaste which makes me think the meat was no longer good. But don't worry, 95% fried flour with extra sauce should comfort you. I wouldn't even eat this if I got paid for it. It used to taste good. I now warn everyone not to visit this store. I know halal makes it tempting, but as a chicken lover I even go so far as to say it's not chicken anymore. The name should be renamed "fried not-king". I would like to request a statement from the restaurant.

The food was unusually tasty and the service was really good, but the toilet smelled But still highly recommended And the main thing is HALAL

Food arrived very fast, but they rushed us to take our order. They run a tight ship! The base of the chicken seems to be the same for all dishes, with just added sauce on top, and it's not amazing, especially for its price (almost 20€ pp).

I went again... The desk chair was changed and little by little it got better. The food is still good. This is a very tasty chicken that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Best chicken in Frankfurt! Love all the side dishes as well

Why these good reviews? Lunch menu lukewarm and dry. Everything prepared and warmed up early.

Very tasty Korean fried chicken

I didn't have time to take pictures Because it was so delicious I went there because I missed the taste of Korean chicken, and I was impressed by the taste, atmosphere, and kindness of the owner. May you prosper 🔥🙂

I was looking for something tasty near the main station for my visit and this place didn't disappoint. Quick, tasty ,well seasoned food from polite staff who even guided me with my selections and amounts.

Very fast service with good taste & most of all halal

Great food, very friendly, super fast service. A bit crowded.

Es gab schon Tage, da war das Hühnchen richtig saftig und die Panade hatte genau die Stufe, dass es nicht wie ein Keks schmeckt. Aber heute hatte ich mal wieder den Pechtag: Die Panade war schon hart wie ein Keks und dadurch war auch das Hühnchenfleisch trockener als sonst. Ich habe noch nicht den Zusammenhang herausgefunden, an welchen Tagen es gut und nicht so gut ist. Ich will wieder einen guten Tag erwischen.

The Yangnyom Chicken was delicious and very crispy. I had the very spicy option, which in my opinion could have been a bit spicier, but otherwise the sauce was incredibly tasty. There was also rice, radish and sweet potato fries. That was all delicious too. The radish was only slightly chopped. The service was great, the ambience is okay.

Estábamos muy emocionados de comer pollo coreano, pero decepcionado este lugar .. pollo era tan duro y polvo de freír era demasiado espeso y poca carne. Más decepcionante fue cuando fuimos al baño. Era un olor tan malo y desagradable alrededor del baño. Me pareció raro que normalmente los baños de los restaurantes coreanos estén limpios pero no este lugar? Luego me di cuenta de que la pareja propietaria vino y son chinos y algunas cosas también son chinas. Ttukbokki no era bueno. Necesito multar a un verdadero gallinero coreano.

Best Fried Chicken in Frankfurt

I've eaten chicken many times... even in South Korea! This one wasn't so good... too bad 😓

Don't understand the hype behind it. Food was anything but tasty!

The most delicious chicken wings, with a thin and crispy shell, they are still crispy when you get home! 😘😘😘😋😋😋 There were really too many people on weekend nights, and there was a queue outside. I had to take it home to eat. The young Korean male boss said that it would be 180 degrees and 10 minutes would be enough. After reheating the air fryer, the taste has not changed and it feels better😋😋😋
