Zabu Chicken totally lived up to the hype! The Korean fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor — especially the soy garlic. The vibe is casual and fun, great for hanging out with friends or grabbing a late-night bite. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely one of my top spots in the city for Korean-style fried chicken. Highly recommend!

found the fried chicken to be abit too greasy, the flavor is fine. The house salad with the very bland ranch dressing could be skipped..

My recent visit to Zabu Chicken was a very satisfying dining experience, especially when it came to their signature Korean fried chicken—which absolutely lived up to its reputation. The fried chicken we ordered was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with every piece generously coated in their signature sweet-savory sauce. Each bite was flavorful, tender, and incredibly addictive. It’s the kind of dish that immediately makes you understand why the restaurant is always packed. For mains, we tried the Spicy Shrimp Pasta and the Cheese Ramen. The shrimp pasta came with a rich, creamy sauce that carried a pleasant hint of heat, blending beautifully with the sweetness of the shrimp. The toasted bread on the side was the perfect touch, adding texture and making the dish even more filling. The cheese ramen, served bubbling hot in a metal pot, was classic Korean comfort food—spicy, cheesy, and deeply satisfying, especially when paired with soju. One delightful surprise of the evening was the complimentary dessert provided by the restaurant. The milk bingsu topped with sweet red beans was light, refreshing, and just sweet enough to balance the savory and spicy dishes we enjoyed earlier. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, Zabu Chicken delivers consistently high-quality dishes, from their famous fried chicken to their hearty entrées and refreshing sides. The meal was enjoyable from start to finish, making this restaurant a great choice for group gatherings, casual dinners, or late-night cravings. Definitely a place worth returning to.

The food here is so delicious! I ordered the Half & Half Combo, and it truly made me happy — I’m so glad I found the perfect chicken place to love. The staff are very friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. This will definitely become my favorite spot! You should try it too if you’re a fan of Korean-style chicken

✨ English Review: We went to Zabu Chicken tonight. The food was really tasty — the chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious! The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, but overall, it was a nice experience. I’d still recommend it for anyone who enjoys Korean-style fried chicken. 🍗

I absolutely loved this place! The chicken was super crispy and flavorful! The atmosphere was cozy and lively, and the staff were so kind and attentive. It really felt like I was at a restaurant in Seoul. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving real Korean vibes and amazing service in Vancouver!
Place looks nicer, but I notice when a bunch of young people working, they play loud music and don’t pay attention to the customers. I saw them mingling more with each other, their friends came by during dinner and spend more time with them.
Oh well, there is lots of Korean restaurants everywhere.
Zabu chicken lost its touch. The chicken taste more oily than crispy, the seafood pancake has barely seafood on it. The ribs for $29.99 only has 7 tiny pieces and chewy. The server was friendly but never came back to ask if we needed anything else or refill our water. I think it’s time to find another Korean restaurant
The chicken wing here is tasty and crispy. It’s good when you eat chicken wing and then drink beer.
