Korean comfort food that hits the spot

Korean comfort food that hits the spot
Kim Chi Ken opened its doors in Warsaw earlier this year, the city’s fried chicken enthusiasts took notice. Originally from Poznań, this Korean fast-food spot has quickly become a go-to for those craving crispy, flavorful bites without the frills.
Located at Marszałkowska 27/35, Kim Chi Ken offers a straightforward, no-nonsense atmosphere. The interior is functional, designed for quick meals rather than lingering dinners. But what it lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for with its menu.
The star here is, unsurprisingly, the Korean fried chicken. Diners can choose from baskets filled with crispy fries accompanied by their choice of chicken thighs, tenderloins, or a vegetarian alternative. Each option is generously coated in sauces that cater to a range of palates—from the sweet and savory honey garlic to the bold and spicy Sichuan. For those who can’t decide, the ’50/50′ mix offers a bit of everything.
Beyond the baskets, the cupbap stands out as a hearty option. This dish combines well-seasoned rice with pieces of fried chicken, making for a satisfying meal that’s both filling and flavorful.
Vegetarian diners aren’t left out either. The “WEGE nie-udka” swaps chicken for crispy, battered cauliflower, available with any of the house-made sauces. The “VEGE 50/50” allows for two sauce choices, while the “VEGE Fries Box” pairs the cauliflower bites with a generous serving of fries.
Adding a unique twist to the dining experience, Kim Chi Ken features a Street Fighter arcade game on-site. Whether you’re waiting for your order or just in the mood for some button-mashing, it adds a playful energy to the place.
Fast, tasty, and fun, Kim Chi Ken keeps things simple—but that’s exactly why it works.
