I tried the soy garlic chicken and onion rings and both were good. The onion rings were acceptable and the chicken was very crispy. This is not a place that is trying to minimize the amount of batter. It is a heavy panko batter. But it was very crispy even with the sauce and still perfectly edible the next day. Service was good. It was a little odd as they don't want to let people order after 830 with a closing time at 9. But I snuck in prior to the "last call." Others that weren't so lucky were not happy about it.
Haven’t been to the Kingsland location only the MacLeod trail location but I’m sure the food is consistent across both. I really enjoy the food, I always get the same thing every time I go - the beef short ribs and the crispy Ogam chicken. That combination never disappoints. The chicken is so crunchy and always so tasty. I would recommend coming here if you haven’t already! It’s an added bonus that I had good service at the MacLeod location aswell.
Only tried the fried chicken so far but thought the value and taste were very good. Would go back again to try more of the menu! Very friendly and quick service.

We go to Ogam about once a month and we love it! It's conveniently located across the street from Chinook (in the strip mall with The Brick Mattress Store) and there's always lots of parking. They accept debit and credit, and you go up to the counter at the end of your meal to pay (don't wait for your server to bring your bill). Not sure if Ogam used to be in a different location but the first picture on this page looks nothing like the current entrance. Also, the map on this page shows Ogam to be right in the intersection of Glenmore and Macleod but it's actually directly across from Double Zero at Chinook (on the east side of Macleod). The address listed is correct though.
The food is amazing! Seriously! The fried chicken is so crispy and delicious! The chicken is moist, the breading is flavourful and the pieces are huge. My favourite is crispy, my fiance's favourite is seasoned. I like the seasoned too but I'm not a huge fan of having sauces on fried chicken, so I usually opt for crispy. I will say that even with sauce, the chicken is still very crispy. We usually order a combo that comes with 3 pieces of chicken; choice of rice, onion rings or wedge potatoes; a pop or tea and a small salad. You can't mix and match the chicken flavour in this combo, it's all crispy or all seasoned etc. but you can add an extra piece of chicken in any flavour (for a small fee depending if it's a leg, breast or whatever). We also order the sweet and spicy chicken (which is my personal favourite menu item) and then just share everything between us. The sweet and spicy chicken is pan fried chicken (not breaded) chopped up into pieces and tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce with some grilled vegetables like onions, zucchini, and shredded carrots. I think the chicken is dark meat but it's hard to tell with the sauce, could just be super moist white meat. The sauce is really quite spicy but so delicious. I love spicy food and even I have a bit of trouble powering through the first few bites. The sweet and spicy chicken also comes with a few little side dishes. There's a bowl of steamed white rice and some small bowls of a cold bean sprout salad, macaroni salad, and kimchi. This meal doesn't come with a beverage included like the fried chicken combo though. For the two of us the 3 piece fried chicken combo and the sweet and spicy chicken is plenty of food to share.
The service at Ogam isn't terrible, but it's not great. The servers are always very nice but their English is usually not that great which might throw non-Korean speaking people off a bit. I've never found it to be a problem though, they know their menu items just fine and most of their menu items are numbered which simplifies things so the ordering process has always gone very smoothly for us. I think a lot of people go to restaurants in Calgary expecting the servers to do the typical "elevator pitch" at the beginning where they introduce themselves, tell us a bit about themselves and the restaurant, list off the specials in detail, take drink orders and automatically bring water for everyone at the table and then check on us every few minutes. It's just not like that at these kind of restaurants. In our experience with Ogam just go in expecting to get good food served to you by nice people who are trying their very best and you won't be disappointed! Side note, the girl who stays behind the counter co-ordinating everything is super nice! You only really talk to her at the end of your meal when you go up to pay and she is just the sweetest most friendly person ever so I just wanted to mention that :)
Mmmm Korean Fried Chicken – the alternative #KFC. There are now so many options in Calgary, but Ogam, located right across from Chinook Mall remains as one of my favourites. I love both the original crispy and the soy garlic that is just the right combination of sweet and savoury. Maybe next time I will try something new on the menu, but for now why mess with a good thing?
We order the Family pack thru skip the dishes app. The pack came with 10 pieces of seasoned chicken, chicken bites, salad with ginger dressing and side of onion rings. The pieces of chicken was big, super crunchy and crispy. We liked it but I thought there was a little bit too much coating which made it really filling. Would try different flavour of chicken next time or sit down and try some of the soups.
We have been here now a few times and are always impressed with the service, the food and the location. It is a clean area and easy to come in and eat. Good, authentic Korean food. Only thing that could be better is the presentation of the food but that still is pretty good.
Came here today, first time trying Korean fried chicken, we order the gamjatang, creamy garlic chicken meal and spicy soy chicken. Batter was very well done, chicken was not dry at all, large portion for the price we pay for a meal. The soup was also flavourful came with this sour dipping sauce for the meat which added great flavour! Will definitely be returning. Rated only 3.5 because service was very slow... Waited a few minutes to get seated while there was many open tables, should have just picked a table ourselves, then waited a good couple more minutes for the server to take our order because his other coworker kept walking away after seeing us waving at him....
We have come to this place on numerous occasions and i have to say the food is consistently wonderful. Even though I've tried some fried chicken sauces I didn't like too much, the chicken was so juicy and delicious that I didn't mind. Only once i found the chicken might have been over battered, but the batter is delicious and that's a criticism that only crazy health nuts might care about (despite the fact they're eatimg deep fried chicken) The rice cake appetizers are very tasty. The bibimbap is a nice relatively authentic treat AND they use an actual stone bowl so the rice is deliciously crispy on the bottom. It's remarkable how many korean places don't do this, so bravo Ogam. Hats off to your chefs. Unfortunately this is an asian establishment so that means service sucks... Like a lot. Last time - Had to ask 3 times for a plate. Twice for water. Wasn't event given a bucket for chicken bones (which is normally given to you when you order chicken). They're lucky the food is that good.
Above average fried chicken very satisfied with the portion and service was good. Will want to try different items on the menu as looked very good
Love it. Crispy chicken like no other... Wow. Staff was very friendly.
Terriaky chicken had a bit more sauce that I could bare but it was prepared well! And the Soju... Wow, juice that makes you tipsy lol... Loved it! Would recommend!
The food was delicious(creamy garlic chicken is a must) and good portion. The staff are nice. One of the best korean resto in town. *Need to present Covid vaccine passport together with ID for dine-in.*
Have been to three Korean chicken places in Calgary and was not terribly impressed. This is the best one I’ve been to so far.
If you never had Korean fried chicken you are missing out! Korean fried chicken is so crispy and it isn't oily and the Ogam does it justice. The pieces are huge and fried to perfection! I absolutely adore it! It's always been consistently good here and the service is amazing too! I highly recommend this place :)
Oh my word! This place is so good. The staff are so friendly and fun to talk to. The food is divinely delicious and so wonderfully saucy. Their menu made everything look so delicious and we had a hard time deciding what to eat. We over ordered and our leftovers were delicious too! Can’t wait to get back to Calgary to visit again.
Friendly staff. Clean and cozy Korean restaurant. I am impressed with the choice of their food! Very delicious and appetizing! Kudos Ogam chicken. We will be back soon.
A friend and I went to this restaurant today... We were pleased with the food as well as the price. The staff we're friendly and accommodating. We had the chicken and onion rings. The chicken was tender and juicy(Not greasy) the onion rings had some kind of cheese powder on them, I was skeptical at first, but learned it was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant... we will be going back again. 5⭐
Exceptional costumer service. I was waiting outside since I have no car or place to wait nearby, but she let me in and even give me a bottle of water while waiting.
Plus the chicken is 1000% delicious. Definitely my go-to next time.
