We all got food poisoning right after we tried the chicken (soy garlic and yangnyeom)... still sickening now...... never been to a dining place where everyone got sick after having the food... try avoid this place if you have other options for fried chicken on the island...

TL;DR doesn't look like much from the outside but has wonderful Korean fried chicken! Cute little inside and definitely worth the stop.
Highly suggest if you're looking for Korean fried chicken. We got a full order of the Yangyeom chicken which easily feed 3 people maybe even 4 depending on how hungry you are. They came out quite quickly but the taste was great could have been a little spicier but still very enjoyable. The radish they have is well marinated with a good balance between the vinegar and sweet which cuts the taste of the chicken very nicely. Sadly only street parking which could be a bit difficult to find but if you can they are definitely worth the stop.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 25, 2020
Apparently got the name as the original owners won the 649 lottery and opened the joint however onto new owners so the coveted winning ticket is no longer on display.
The chicken is still pretty yummy and the radish definitely cuts the grease.
Gonna try the garlic next time

Wow, where do I even begin here. The chicken is tiers above any other Korean fried chicken I've had outside of Korea, and to be frank it is probably the best Korean fried chicken I've ever eaten. I got pa-dak, soy garlic, and yangnyeom chicken. The mustard sauce in the pa-dak is a FIRM punch in the tongue, and it was just too much. Just the onion and chicken was delightful though. The best was the soy garlic IMO.
Overall, just phenomenal chicken. I'd do some unspeakable things to get this stuff back in my home town.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Paul C.San Francisco, CA03Jun 15, 2023
Chicken is amazing. Not a huge fan of wedges. But still very good. I would definitely recommend the honey chicken sandwich

Korean-style fried chicken--what could go wrong? If you're Chicken 649, nothing really. They deliver on bold flavours that will tantalize your tastebuds and result in cravings a week later. (Case in point: Me.)
My friend and I ordered two Chicken Meals ($11.50 each) to share. The meal comes in a pizza box and includes 5 pieces of chicken (drumsticks and wings), wedge potatoes, pickled radish, and pop. We chose the 649 Original and the Yangnyeom (Sweet & Spicy).
649 ORIGINAL: They nailed the batter here. The coating was crisp, flavourful, and a wonderful contrast to the hot, tender chicken inside. It's their signature seasoning for a reason!
YANGNYEOM: A great balance between sweet and spicy flavours, while still maintaining the crunchy coating. I would say it leans more on the sweet side, so if you're afraid of heat, you should be ok with this choice.
Aside from the chicken, the 6 potato wedges are also delicious--nicely fried (w/ the skin on) and well-seasoned. Though they can be quite heavy together, you can easily cut through that fat with the pickled radishes and/or wash it down with some pop. There are also two choices of sauces--ketchup and I believe mayo--but the chicken and potato wedges are good on their own too.
The only issue we had was that they charged us for only one chicken meal instead of two, but were incredibly gracious and apologetic for their mistake.
The restaurant is small and the menu options are rather limited, so do take that into consideration if you have a larger party with some pickier eaters. Overall, though, Chicken 649 gets the thumbs up from me for good service and delicious food!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Steve G.Yaletown, Vancouver, Canada014Jan 29, 2022

Absolutely delicious food, hard working people here and a great casual bubbly full atmosphere. Was packed the entire time I was in on a Friday evening for both dine in and pick up. The pickled radish is so good, some of the chicken has no bones which I love. the breading is thick, the sauces are delicious and the wedges classic. My only sad point is, having a restaurant space with tables etc and only have single use serving is so so sad.There is no for here tableware, so even dining in means cardboard boxes wax papers, plastic cups for each sauce and the pickles = so much garbage. I know they are a small kitchen, but its environmental footprint is so unnecessary. I'd rather they heap my pickles on the wax paper in the cardboard then open it to find single use plastics :( Thats my only star off, the people work their butts off here to get everyone in and out and the food rocks.
