More infoChicken 649 has been double-frying birds in Quadra Village since 2017 with admirable single-mindedness, and the result is shatteringly crispy, the kind that makes a sound. The real question is sticky-sweet soy-garlic versus fiery yangnyeom, and the correct answer is half-and-half so you can argue it all night. Portions are famously huge, the 4.6 is earned, and note it's closed Sundays. Bring a matching appetite.
Order a half-and-half so you get both the sticky soy-garlic and the fiery yangnyeom, the friendly argument over which one wins is the whole date. Portions are huge, so one order between two is plenty (and you'll likely have leftovers to squabble over later). Grab extra napkins, settle into the unfussy room, and don't miss the spicy padak if you like heat. Budget about an hour and fifteen; it's closed Sundays, and Quadra Village's shops are right outside for a post-chicken wander.
