Doran Chicken is a real hidden gem, tucked away at Orchard Gateway Level 4. We really enjoyed everything here. The ramen was comforting and flavourful, with a rich broth that hits the spot, while the fried chicken was excellent — crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and not greasy at all. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal.
The food pairs perfectly with soju and beer, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a relaxed meal with friends.
Service was another big plus. The staff and boss were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for good ramen, solid Korean fried chicken, and a chill spot that’s slightly off the radar in Orchard, Doran Chicken is well worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back.

Saw the numbers of reviews and decided to try. Pretty decent chicken skin and potato puff
Food takes a while to be served which means they should be fried fresh. Chicken was dry and small. They also ask for reviews for a free drink which explain their number of reviews. Would not recommend

very delicious korean fried chicken. ordered the volcano sauce, and the spiciness is just nice!
the spicy tokbokki is super delicious, and the rice cake is cooked perfectly.
not to forget the corn fritter, each kernel is coated with marination and super addictive.
overall, a great meal!

This is the first time trying Doran chicken, and I must say it’s really super good. First time trying a fried boneless chicken piece taste like freshly chicken piece from breast part. Not the typical Karage that has flour batter as part of the constituent. The Teboki serve with fish cake both soak in the Gochuchang/ chicken flavour sauce is out of the world. And lastly we had the Ginseng chicken, broth is so thick , the whole chicken is just too generous for the price. Value for money meal here. I will return for sure and highly recommend this place, all the staffs are Korean and they are friendly. Quick and easy self ordering system with self check out option.

The chicken was very worth the wait! Indeed fresh and crispy and juicy with every bite, goes very well with the refreshing radish. First time trying their chicken and definitely will come back for more!

The boneless chicken were juicy and nice. I personally chose the volcano and sweet&spicy selection. I could go a little spicier for volcano, but this should be just right for majority.
The volcano sauce has a slight soy sauce taste too it, pretty interesting! I prefer this flavour :)
Kimchi is exactly the way I like, cold, fresh and crunchy. Yum!

The fried chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy and the 1978 sauces were spot on. The flat dumpling with squid was another highlight — crispy edges with a nice chewy texture. The corn fritters were sweet, crunchy, and super addictive. Great portions, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. A must-try spot for Korean food lovers.

In my opinion 4 stars not 4.8
Encouraged by the high 4.8 rating, we decided to eat here. The restaurant is located on the 4th floor, and ordering is done via an app. The portions are actually quite large, easily enough for two people. However, the food itself is simply okay — decent, but without any particularly memorable or outstanding flavors.
The high rating may be influenced by the fact that the restaurant offers a free drink in exchange for writing a review. As a tourist from Europe, I wasn’t positively surprised by the experience. If you’re hungry, it’s a place where you can eat, but otherwise I would probably look for something else.

Bought boneless whole chicken and Tteokbokki for a party of 4. The Dalcom Spicy chicken is much better than the soy sauce one. Dalcom is not spicy at all. Avoid the soy sauce one bcos it's pretty bland and tasteless in my opinion.
The mild spicy Tteokbokki is good, should try it out.
About $65 inclusive of a pot of Korean tea.
All in all, not bad. Can give it a try. Cheers 🥂.

Saw the signage at Orchard gateway level 1 & friend commented that there are lots of good reviews so we give a try. The atmosphere was good as in not so crowded because the shop is located at level 4. Restaurant is open concept and spacious. We ordered the set, come with tteokbokki which is nice and chewy. Chicken was juicy & tastes good. The corn fritter is highly recommended. The service crew there majority are Korean, they are friendly as well. Highly recommended to visit this restaurant. I will give a try again for other menu.
