In 2019, My Fried Chicken began as a small ghost kitchen, driven by founder Shaun’s mission to introduce Auckland to genuine Korean flavors crafted with restaurant-quality standards. As a Korean immigrant with a background in Auckland’s hospitality scene, Shaun saw a gap — many restaurants served fried chicken, but he wanted to bring an authentic Korean experience, using top-quality ingredients and refined cooking techniques.

Auckland’s response was overwhelming, with dishes selling out daily from our shared kitchens. Encouraged by the support of our community, we soon outgrew those spaces, opening our first restaurant in Ponsonby Central’s food hall later that year. Since then, My Fried Chicken has become a local favorite, celebrated for its authenticity, creativity, and commitment to quality.

At My Fried Chicken, we’re dedicated to more than just great food. We’re committed to sustainability — from eco-friendly packaging to waste reduction in our kitchens. With a menu that respects Korean traditions yet embraces modern tastes, we offer everything from classic Korean fried chicken to plant-based options, creating a welcoming place for everyone to experience the true taste of Korea.

Our promise is simple: authentic Korean flavors, crafted with quality, care, and a passion for sharing our culture with Auckland.
