    Came to pick up a couple things at one of my favorite stores HMART. If you're a big fan of Korean Fried Chicken, Goobne Chicken is a must try in the food court. We got a 20 piece chicken bone in combo which adds a side & 2 drinks. The server was so patient with soo many choices on the menu! The chicken wings were delicious. Crispy on the outside juicy on the inside. Best of all they a prepared to order. Cannot wait to stop buy again

    GCW is in the food hall at H Mart at Beach, just South of the 405. They specialize is roasted & fried chicken. However, they also have fuzn items like galbi pizza. We ordered 20 wings: 10 sweet & spicy, and 10 of another flavor. We both noticed that the wings had a nice fry job despite not being battered, and they were moist & meaty. Nonetheless, I would have liked more heat with my wings. The lady who took our order was super friendly & nice, and our order came out fairly quickly. As I mentioned in my other review, the food hall area is large and clean. No carts are allowed, that leads to more space to walk around. I would definitely return to GCW the next time I am at H Mart. There are a number of other eateries in the food hall I would like to try also like Korean street dogs, noodles and an egg sando place.

    Good, healthier alternative to fried chicken, but I love fried chicken so much, this did not fulfill the craving, LOL. I got the sweet soy flavor and it was really good. Although oven-roasted, it did have a slight crisp to them, but it just doesn't hit the same as a FRIED chicken. It is also quite pricey for the amount that you get... cashier at the front was super nice though and food came out pretty fast. Not sure if I would try it again, but I also saw they had pizza and the people of Yelp are raving about it, so maybe I will try that next time!

    We checked out Goobne Chicken, a Korean chain known for oven-roasted chicken (they proudly advertise that they don't fry anything - healthier vibes!). The location isn't the best because it's tucked in the corner right next to the restroom in the food hall of H mart Westminster but Goobne is actually a pretty big name in Korea, especially around Jeollanam-do and Jeju. Their U.S. expansion started in Texas, and California now has about five locations. I tried the chicken skewers, and they were pretty good. Lighter flavor, not greasy, and definitely on the healthier side compared to typical Korean fried chicken spots. Overall, a nice option if you want Korean chicken without the deep-fried guilt.

    Located inside the Hmart supermarket's food court. I thought it was fried chicken but actually roasted chicken. Picked up 10 pcs garlic soy chicken wings $20. It was very flavorful and juicy. I waited about 20 mins for my order. We came on Sunday night around 6pm and were able to find parking and a table to sit. Definitely will come back to try out the other menu items.

    Goobne Chicken makes the best Korean oven roasted wings. Not fried! So if you are craving wings but want a healthier option then this is for you. Goobne is a small little spot tucked in the corner spot located in Hmart. They have wings in a variety of different sauces. I went with their volcano sauce which was described to me by their worker as a similar budak spicy flavor but less spicy. She was absolutely right. It was also on the sweeter side which I didn't mind but I do want to try their other flavors. The chicken was moist and perfectly cooked. It did take some time to make but worth the wait. Besides their seven different flavors of wings they also have pizza, onion rings, fries, baguette bowl, and rice bowls. Pricing was decent and my only regret was not ordering more.

    Korean fried chicken without the deep fry! Their oven - roasted chicken is crispy, tender, and so delicious. And it's not just chicken on the menu -- they also have rice bowls, pizzas, salads, fries, and more. Everything was very flavorful.

    This location is inside of a newly constructed and very large Hmart. This is the food court where you can grab lots of other food too! Service is fast and you are given a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. Do note that the chicken here is oven roasted. This IS healthier but in my opinion, not as tasty. I do not get the satisfying crunch I get at BBQ or Pelicana. Because I prefer the crisp, I'll be going back for BBQ or Pelicana chicken.

    If you want water, ask for a cup and fill it here.
    Myphuong L.

    These are not double fried chicken. These are oven roasted chicken. We got volcano flavor and Soy garlic flavor then added waffle fries. My fiancé said it reminds him of Pizza Hut wings. I loved the waffle fries because it had a hint of honey sweetness. The wait was about 20 minutes, they give you a beeper so you can walk around the area until it beeps. There are also mini claw machines to keep the kids or adults busy. If you want water, any of the vendors will give you an empty cup and you would fill it up at the water fountain by the restrooms which is next door to this chicken place.

    Goobne Chicken is know for its oven roasted, non fried chicken. The chicken is flavorful, juicy, and a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried Korean chicken. Popular flavors include Soy Garlic, Galbi and Honey Butter Crispy. I also love the Galbi Chicken. The Soy Garlic Wings have a sweet and savory glaze. The Galbi wings are sweet and Smokey. The Honey Butter wings have a sweet and savory dry rub. My personal favorite is the Honey Butter. The chicken is crispy and pairs well with the buttery baguette bowl. They also serve Korean oven baked pizza and chicken rice bowl. I love their soft pizza dough. Goobne Chicken is a popular choice for those seeking a high quality, healthier version of Korean fried chicken. Goobne Chicken inside H Mart Westminster -- 16450 Beach Blvd. Westminster, CA 92683

    The chicken here was crispy and saucy. Service was really good. Staff were nice and friendly. They are located in the H mart. Lots of seating available inside the food hall. They are giving out a $10 of coupon on your orders!

    Original

    Stopped by this weekend during an H Mart run and decided to give this place a try. It was a perfect for a casual meal. The chicken was fried fresh, so there was about a 20-minute wait, but it felt reasonable knowing it was made to order. The service was friendly and patient throughout. We ordered two types of chicken--while the original had no sauce and was a bit plain for our taste, the sauced options were the clear favorites among our group, adding more flavor and appeal.

    10 piece wing - this for $24?  Not worth it to me.
    Brent P.

    Had 10 piece meal, half volcano and half crispy sesame or something. Chicken was ok but nothing special. Volcano should be spicier. For the price, I'd rather get wingstop and get fries, a drink and delicious ranch. Girl neglected to tell us there was a charge for splitting the 10 wings into 2 flavors so 10 wings ended up being $24 before tax... meh. Like others, it's in a food court so not much to say about ambiance.

    Meeting spot:  H-Mart for us! So yummy for these foodies!

Tangy pickled or fermented veggies, sweet pineapple, mushrooms, and soups help cut through all that richness from the fat. The pork and kimchi soup especially hits - it's super comforting and balances out the meal. This is also a great alternative if you're craving BBQ but don't have the stomach space for AYCE. These portions leave us full and satisfied every time. Overall, an amazing spot for a casual, pork-centric feast!

(NOTE: Mala, Rosé sauces are additional for ~ $2.99) Cheese add on was not worth the value, and the fish cake soup was just OK. Just get the rice cakes (especially the wheat flour ones). Sauce was not too sweet or overwhelming with a red pepper paste / gojuchang flavor. Better suited for those who enjoy savory dishes! I really enjoyed the large rice cakes & the combo is shareable between 3-4 people!
