Food: Heaven of crispy chicken

Gol Tong Chicken's menu leads with its Korean Fried Chicken - a unique delight of crispy perfection that's vividly scrumptious. Not far behind is the Boneless Soy Garlic Chicken, a harmony of crispy batter, juicy tenderness, and aromatic flavors. With very creative presentations and fresh high-quality ingredients, coupled with generous portions, the food at Gol Tong Chicken is worth every dime, though some may argue the menu needs more variety.

Vibe: Cozy albeit no-frills atmosphere

Gol Tong Chicken exudes a cozy, unique ambiance that's invigoratingly welcoming. It doesn't try hard to fit into the trendy restaurant vibe, which in itself creates an environment where the focus remains on the food. However, the lack of alcoholic drinks can be a damper for some, as well as the occasionally loud music.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Reviews often reflect a homey feel, sometimes quaint or slightly shabby.

  • Bad Buzz

    Doesn't fit the typical trendy restaurant format; unimpressive from outside.

Perks: Equanimous service and ambiance

Gol Tong Chicken offers plenty of space, making it comfortable for large groups meetings, though be ready for a bit of challenge with their small parking lot and reservation system which may require long waits. The balanced noise level offers more low-key ambiance, and while the service can be a bit sluggish, it remains within acceptable norms.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups with great space, amenities, and group-friendly services.

  • Okay Service

    Service varies; well-meaning solo worker but sometimes slow.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Owner indicates potential wait time can be as long as 12 hours.
