Best Korean Fried Chicken in London 2026

Southwark

“A cult Korean spot that's been running since 2014. Seven different KFC flavours — the honey chilli is the move, equal parts sweet and heat. The batter shatters, the meat stays juicy. No-frills setting, outstanding chicken. They also do karaoke at the Soho branch if you're feeling brave.”

Dalston

“Chick 'n' Sours' Dalston residency. Same legendary Korean fried chicken, different postcode. The wings in gochujang glaze haven't changed. Neither has the queue.”

Clerkenwell

“Proper Korean fried chicken in an unassuming setting. Seven different flavour options — the yangnyeom (sweet and spicy) is the classic move, but the soy garlic is not to be snuffed. Double-fried for that signature Korean crunch. Pair with soju and don't rush.”

“Boneless or wings - both crispy, both hit. The sauces make it. Burger with Suba Bakery buns is the move.”
