I've only been to the Hongdae and Gangnam outlets, and so far the food has been consistent. One thing I've realised about chain stores in Korea is that the food quality can be really inconsistent! The restaurant gets crowded quickly, so do go earlier to beat the lunch/dinner crowds. The hongdae branch is along the busy street of shops, and it can be easily identified by the chicken mascot at the top of the building! 

Lots of celebrity photos at the Hongdae branch!!

One of the dishes I always order when I go is the seaweed rice balls. Not appealing in terms of looks, but delicious!!

If you are not a fan of spicy food, I'll suggest that you go for the non-spicy version. The lowest level for the spicy ones is hard to manage for me and my friends! This is probably because of the chilli seeds, especially those stuck onto the sweet potato noodles! 

Given that it's a celebrity's shop, I didn't give much expectations when I first went there. Personally I won't go to a celebrity's shop again unless the food is worth the money and effort. This is worth the try if you ask me! Ahhhh I miss this!! 진짜 먹고 싶다!
