BANGTAN - Korean Fried Chicken - Upper Norwood

Upper Norwood's fried chicken scene has a new star, and BANGTAN is the name on everyone's lips. This Korean-inspired kitchen has earned a perfect reputation among locals, bringing serious crunch and bold flavours to the neighbourhood. With a clean Food Hygiene Rating, it's clear they take quality as seriously as they take their spice levels.

The menu is all about that signature Korean fried chicken — think impossibly crispy double-fried wings and drumsticks, lacquered in sticky gochujang glaze or a punchy soy garlic sauce. Each piece arrives golden, shatteringly crisp, and packed with umami. Whether you're after a solo feast or sharing with friends, their heat levels range from a gentle tingle to a full-on flavour firestorm. Order directly through their site for the freshest experience, and don't sleep on the cheesling fries on the side.
