RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
After we attended the Pride Parade on June 22,2024 , the said program was cut short due to heavy rain, my friend Joy Abarico and I decided to grab our dinner and we embarked on a culinary adventure to the Gogodak Korean Chicken Shaw Branch. Nestled in a bustling area along Shaw Blvd, San Antonio, Pasig City , this eatery has quickly become a favorite among locals for its delicious Korean cuisine. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the inviting aroma of various restaurants around the area. Aside from the rainy night, we managed to walk and locate the place. Our eyes were immediately drawn to the Friend Share combo on the menu, a delightful assortment of three flavorful Korean chicken varieties, pickled radish, and a small botle soft drink, all for the reasonable price of PHP 599. It was the perfect choice for our dining experience.
The Friend Share combo did not disappoint. Each chicken flavor was distinct and mouthwatering, providing a perfect balance of spice, sweetness, and savory goodness. The pickled radish added a refreshing crunch that complemented the rich flavors of the chicken. I have tasted the three flavors - cheese , BBQ and sweet & sour. The combo was more than enough for the two of us, making it a great value for money. We even divided it equally and got some to bring back home. To complete my meal, I ordered a side of rice for PHP 25 and decided to try the Egg Ramyun for PHP 139, hoping for a comforting bowl of soup to round out the meal. However, the Egg Ramyun tasted like an instant grocery-bought ramyun, lacking the depth and authenticity I had hoped for.
Despite the disappointing Egg Ramyun, our overall experience at Gogodak Korean Chicken Shaw Branch was incredibly satisfying. The Friend Share combo alone is worth a visit, offering a delicious and affordable taste of Korean cuisine. For those craving authentic flavors, this place is a must-try. I suggest to use food delivery service like Food Panda or Grab Food as the establishment have 2-3 available tables to occupy. Well, it is open 24 hours for delivery and dine in. If you find yourself in the area, I highly recommend stopping by and indulging in their delectable chicken dishes since it is just 10 minutes walk from Crossing. Whether you're a Korean food enthusiast or just looking to try something new, Gogodak Korean Chicken is sure to leave your taste buds wanting more.
