“ Our first time trying Korean food. We ordered the Ganjang chicken (half portion) and bulgogi kimbab. Both were really good. I really enjoyed the flavors. After eating this fried chicken I can never go back to KFC!! This fried chicken was far more tasty and less processed:) Our waiter Farin was very helpful and polite and friendly. He really helped us decide what to order since it was our first time with the menu. He also helped us order a taxi back to the hotel! Definitely recommended if you want to have Korean food for a change in Indonesia. ”
“ If you’re looking for Korean food in Labuan Bajo, this is the best place. The japchae is cooked perfectly. It’s not hard, and the vegetables are mixed in really well. The portion is generous too—not stingy at all. The fried chicken is delicious. Served hot and fresh. It comes with a tasty dip that goes really well with it. The best part is the kimchi—it really tastes just like the ones in Korea. Wishing the restaurant continued success! ”
“ The only Korean restaurant in Labuan Bajo, and it did not disappoint! I tried the Hot Mayo Chicken and Kimbab—both were tasty, well-portioned, and flavorful. The place is clean and comfortable too. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Bajo and craving something different ”
“ Fried chicken and Korean food aficionado here. That was good I wasn’t staying in Bajo long sadly, or I may have found myself there every day ! The chicken is delicious, tteokboki were gorgeous too… And the staff is super nice ! Portions are HUGE as you can see from the photos ”
“ Came to chicken jib for dinner. We ordered several menus like fried chicken, teokbokki, and ramyeon. Very delicious, the chicken so tender and juicy. Well-balanced seasoning in every bites. Super friendly staff and good ambience. Surely will come back again soon ”
“ Best Fried Chicken in Indonesia so far?!(Honest review, not paid) The batter is light and so crunchy, sauce is well balanced, with side dish )little salad and “Acar” or pickled cucumber for refreshment. Tteokpokki is also suite my taste, I prefer not to have too much gochujang on it. This one is balanced and there’s condiments (fish cakes, cabbage and egg). I ordered the mango bingsu as well, nice cool dessert with fresh mango and jelly. And of course not too sweet! Perfect for the weather in Bajo! I wish probably they can open nearby Gading Serpong or Jakarta. I bet it will be the famous chicken jib as well! Please maintain the consistency.. nice job Staff is very friendly as well and clean dining space ”
“ Regarding the calibre of restaurants in bargo, I can confidently say that chicken jib is a well-oiled fired chicken machine! I've been here a few times and the food is pretty consistent. I always order the fried chicken for the win! But they got sushi and noodles as some other sides I don't play with but look good too. They got Korean beer. They got Soju. They got Korean desserts and ice creams. They got the Korean instant noodles too. I would probably go here alot more than I do but I'm kinda watching my weight and the fried food isn't helping the cause. Perhaps fried chicken is one of My ( many) weaknesses that I just can't walk past and happens to be the case when I'm in Baja. I literally cannot walk past this place without stopping in and buying A full chicken to myself. Maybe I'm biased because of the fried chicken but . I don't mind this place at all. It's pretty good. I would give this a solid 8 out of 10 On the fried chicken. And it's such a pleasure that this place exists in Bajo because sometimes I just don't know what to eat there. ”
“ Chicken Jib… oh my god. Bro. Listen. I don’t know what kind of wizard is in that kitchen, but this chicken? CRUNCHY MAGIC. I swear I took one bite of the soy garlic and forgot what day it was. Spicy one? Had me sweating, crying, questioning my life choices—in the best way. Place is chill. Staff are super nice, I think I told them I loved them. Twice. Maybe three times. They smiled. I think they’re used to it. Anyway. I was gonna go somewhere else but my feet just… didn’t. I ended up back here like a chicken-seeking missile. Had it three nights in a row. No regrets. ZERO. If you’re in Labuan Bajo and don’t eat here, I can’t trust you. 12/10. Would marry the chicken if I could. Lava spicy chicken is a challenge. ”
