Why Jean’s Chilli Chicken is no longer considered Korean food…

Andrew Kim, owner of Jean’s Chilli Chicken says “Our food was considered really offensive back then… On one occasion, a drunk customer threw an entire plate of chicken at my face saying “how can you give this to humans to eat?

Fifteen years ago when we first opened our restaurant, 90 per cent of our customers were Korean. Now, 90 per cent are non-Koreans… Locals know that to have fun, you have to visit Jean’s Chilli Chicken in Eastwood Hotel.”
