About The Gangjung

The Gangjung delivers rich Korean comfort food and fried chicken in a cozy Glen Huntly Road hideaway. Regulars point to the bubbling beef bulgogi stew, layered with deep, sweet-savory broth that begs for extra rice. Sizzling gangjung chicken stays light and crunchy beneath sweet chili or creamy onion glazes, while fusion-leaning spicy pork burritos cater to quick lunchtime runs. Inside, lofi beats roll under a wall projector cycling music clips, and finishing the table off with chilled mango bingsu keeps things easy.

  • Korean Comfort Classics: Rich beef bulgogi stew, peppery tteokbokki, and crunchy fried chicken tossed in sweet chili or creamy onion glazes.
  • Lofi Neighborhood Vibe: A cozy dining room paired with lofi soundtracks and music videos running on a wall projector.
  • Cash Perk & No Surcharge: Save five percent on the bill by paying in cash, alongside a no-weekend-surcharge policy.

Hearty, authentic Korean comfort food staples

  • Korean Fried Chicken

    Korean fried chicken is both crispy and yet the sweet chilli just fits right in. Coated in a thin layer that doesn't overpower the whole dish.

  • Beef Bulgogi Stew

    The Beef Bulgogi Stew was hands down one of the best I've had – rich, flavourful, comforting, and clearly cooked with care.

    Kitty Chan

  • Tteokbokki

    The tteokbokki had springy fish cake and the noodles were still firm which allowed it not to absorb too much of the sauce.

  • Kimchi Stew

    The kimchi stew has tender, fall-apart meat while the broth is so loaded with flavour that you can't see through it on a spoon.

Before you head over

Practical tips on reservations, payments, and ordering to make the most of your visit

  • Reserve Ahead for Peak Evenings

    Book ahead or arrive early on peak evenings; the cozy indoor dining space fills up fast, and walk-ins during busy dinner rushes may have to wait or sit outside.

  • Pay with Cash for a Discount

    Carry cash to take advantage of an extra 5% discount on your bill, and enjoy dining on weekends without having to worry about weekend surcharges.

  • Pair Hearty Stews with Rice

    Order rice to balance the richer, sweeter notes of the beef bulgogi stew, and note that spicy menu items like tteokbokki and burritos lean milder to suit local palates.
