Ordered food to go, very tasty! 😋 The staff is polite and friendly. Large portions. We waited for about 20 minutes while the order is prepared, you can wait in the middle of the establishment. There is no parking, but you can park on the nearby street. I recommend!👍

I was hoping to go to Seoul chicken in Langford after my work appointment in Victoria, but at the time due to traffic, it was about 45 minutes away and I was starving so I did a Google search and I found this place much closer and boy am I glad I did. The chicken was just as well cooked as the other place but they had an option for the sauce to be spicy and this made all the difference. It's hard to say this place is better overall because both places make amazing, crispy and delicious chicken, however, the addition of the spicy factor gives this one a slight edge in my opinion. Definitely 100% would recommend.

The chicken was nice and saucy as it should be. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because they give you a mix of bone in and boneless pieces but it should all be bone in. The boneless pieces were chewy and low quality like you would expect from anywhere that serves boneless. Otherwise it was really good.

I ordered 4-piece chicken in Yangnyeom flavour...so satisfying! Tender in the inside, crispy on the outside, and sweet and spicy sauce was so tasty. This could do some more inviting with their dine-in space. Will definitely come again!

Heard a lot about this place and I've driven by many times and wanted to go there, so I finally did and honestly it was a disappointment. I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was pretty much a bunch of gristle and bits of chicken. I was fully expecting to bite into a nice juicy piece of fried chicken but that didn't happen at all. After all the hype from my friends I expected a lot more out of it. I've been to a number of other chicken places around town and those are much better in comparison. I'll be returning to those places instead as I know I'll get a good meal.

Chicken 649 is one of my go-to spots, especially on busy days when we don’t have time to cook after work. They always serve generous portions—even when I order just half a chicken, it’s more than expected. My only minor issue is that the wait time can be a bit long due to their popularity, but it’s understandable given how much people love their chicken. Overall, I highly recommend this place!

The Rumors are true, the legends are real. I had heard about this place for a while now and finally got a chance to try it out. Ordered the chicken sandwich with garlic soy sauce. Unbelievable. My head almost exploded due to the flavor intensity. 10/10 I need to go back again.

Fried chicken was crispy and delicious. Cooked perfectly. Obviously a family business. Service was not polished but pleasant. My only issue with the food is that the chicken was smothered in yangnyeom sauce. It was a very tasty sauce but the amount was overwhelming. Noted for future visits.
