The 10 Best Korean Fried Chicken Spots in Berlin
Fried twice, then glazed: the crust shatters when you bite into it and the meat underneath stays juicy. Korean fried chicken in Berlin has moved far beyond the Korean community and now turns up all over the city, from Kantstraße in the west to Schönhauser Allee in the north. The range is wide: tiny counters with a single dish on the menu, family-run places that make their own kimchi, and fast kitchens that hand you a cardboard box in ten minutes. Then there are the sauces, where the whole thing is decided: yangnyeom, sweet and hot with gochujang, soy garlic, salty and sticky, honey butter for anyone who wants it milder. So where do you get the best Korean fried chicken in Berlin? We worked our way through wings, bites and full sets, paid attention to the crust and compared the sauces: plain, spicy and with garlic. In Kreuzberg, SongSong Chicken on Zossener Straße cooks essentially one dish, and it lands every time. In Wedding, a family of three runs Gangnam on Nazarethkirchstraße, where the yangnyeom and garlic chicken share the spotlight with the fries. And in Charlottenburg, Basak Chicken on Grolmanstraße has committed entirely to original yangnyeom chicken. Which one will be your favourite?

Korean fried chicken is the most honest street food Berlin has, at least to me. For this list I paid attention to the things that actually matter: whether the chicken is fried twice, whether the crust still cracks five minutes later, whether there is enough meat under the batter and whether the sauce is made in house instead of scooped out of a bucket. The result is ten addresses from Charlottenburg to Neukölln, small counters as well as family kitchens.
