Chick-In - Melbourne

The best cold green tea I've had in ages. it was so delicious I've been trying to find out where to buy that brand of tea bag!! The Gang Jung from the lunch menu was so yummy and filling. The staff are lovely and the service is nice a quick for lunch time too. Can't wait to come here again!

Delicious food and soju, right next to Southern Cross Station. Small enough that it's never too loud, even if it's busy. Everyone's always friendly and helpful.

My score 4.25 stars. J and I had a pre footy dinner here on Fri 31st May. We originally tried Brim CC but it was full at 6.30 – a 15 min wait for a table, then 15min for non curry food so we moved on). Luckily Chick in was close by, so we gave it a go, as kick off wasn't that far away. <br/ You go down a narrow side alley next to Purple Peanuts which was also full).  C in was virtually chockers too footy crowd mainly), they offered us 2 slightly cramped bench seats – which we accepted gratefully.  Service was good the place was really humming.<br/ <br/ I had Kimchi fries $17).  Shoestring fries on bottom), spicy green chilli yum), tomato cubes, sour cream, Kimchi not much), tasty cheese, chicken floss? nice, but not very chickeny a good thing for me). Overall naughty but nice really yum) – could have murdered a beer with it, but I was being good there were lots being consumed around us).<br/ <br/ J had Avo Bibimbap $13.50) tuna $3). Was really rice w salad sort of Viet style) but who cares, it was really good!  Small raw cubes of tuna yummy), nice fanned avocado, gourmet lettuce, radish, cucumber, lotso pickled ginger and mildly spicy wasabi peas.  Crunchy sprinkles and sesame seeds on the tuna and avo v. good).  Good warm rice w a great sesame seed–soyish dressing.  A cold night but this still shone J loved it and I did too!  J is already hassling me to go back…

We've been here a couple of times with friends, it's a little hard to find as it is situated in a laneway, but true Melbournian's know that's where you end up finding the best foods. <br/ <br/ So we always order the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) and I must say, they have the juiciest boneless original flavour friend chicken I've had in Melbourne to date. <br/ <br/ Also the kimchi fries and corn cheese is also a must have. Overall this place is a little gem hidden from the busy Collins and Spencer Street. <br/ <br/ Oh and #kfcislyf

For a place named for its meat, Chick in offers one of the best veggie dishes I've had in a while. It was a bibimbap of sorts (although seemed more Japanese than Korean) and couldn't be simpler just avo, salad and pickled ginger on rice. But the composition was gorgeous and the quality was evident. The dish featured an entire half of a buttery avocado, delicately sliced and sprinkled with seaweed. The salad included cucumber cut into spirals that resembled rosettes. They were nearly too pretty to eat. A soy dressing accompanied the bowl, and I added an additional topping of lightly fried tubular rice cakes. For just $1, they're a must have addition to any meal.
