About the business

In 2006, four friends set out with a simple goal: to make Korean fried chicken, they’d be proud to serve their kids, friends and family, and delectable authentic Korean dishes available to Australians the country over.

17 years later, and after 47.5 million pieces of crispy fried chicken (and counting) plated up across 37 stores in Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Sydney, and Melbourne, the founders of Gami have certainly done more than just ‘made good’ on a pact they set to open a business together.

They’ve built one of the fastest-growing & most-loved franchises in Australia.

So, what makes Gami stand out from the crowd? In short, chicken and beer – two things Australians can’t get enough of. But it’s Gami’s fried chicken that really brings in the crowds.

Born from its unique flavour of frying power extracted from 7 different herbs and core ingredients, Gami has perfect the right level of crunchiness, moistness and richness on the palate, which you can’t get anywhere else.

This iconic taste and craveable crunch are further supplemented by the golden-ratio 17 herbs-mixed seasoning, which delivers a savoury flavour of Korean spiciness, sweetness and sourness.

Add to that the incredible freshness of every dish served up to the Gami Gang with every chicken cooked to order and made with the highest quality ingredients and hand-cut, piece by piece, and complemented with savoury, secret sauces.

And then there’s the beer!

Brewed exclusively for Gami by the Thunder Road Brewing Company, this locally brewed beer pairs so well with the succulent, juicy and crispy chicken served on every plate that it’s as if it was brewed in heaven.

There are also incredible Gami Delights such as tteok bokki, potato heaven, corn cheese, hotteok, kimchi fried rice and more, plus an unmistakable ambience to give Australians a little taste of Seoul.

Even after serving 47.5 million pieces of crispy fried chicken and thousands of litres of beer across 37 stores, they’re just getting started and are looking to open up more Gami Chicken & Beer stores in more territories across the country.
