About PAPA'S Korean Chicken Restaurant

Clayton regulars head to this halal-certified joint for crisp Korean fried chicken and restorative slow-simmered soups. The thin batter gives every piece of soy-garlic chicken a clean, satisfying crunch—tossed with rice cakes and potato wedges. When the Melbourne weather turns chilly, locals bypass the fryer for steaming bowls of ox bone soup or rich ginseng chicken. Hot days call for chilled, tangy naengmyeon noodles with clean bite. Between the sweet hospitality from the mother-and-son team and complimentary coffee and tea, it feels like dining right at someone’s family table.

  • Halal-Certified Comfort Fare: Serves crispy soy-garlic fried chicken, savory kimbap, and slow-cooked beef bone stews under strict halal standards in an alcohol-free space.
  • Thoughtful Hospitality Perks: Guests are welcomed with complimentary hot tea, coffee, house banchan, and pancake treats from the attentive family team.
  • Soups & Refreshing Cold Noodles: Chewy noodles in chilled, balanced broth offer a crisp, cooling alternative alongside piping-hot ox bone and spicy beef soups.
