Feedback
What Kaela Casper dislikes about Frying Colours:
The food is pretty good but so overpriced. $16 for 4 small pieces of what they call kimchi pancake, not ok. The service was incredibly slow, we made a reservation for lunch. It took ONE hour before we saw any food. My partner ordered the ginger beer which was not even ginger beer, we saw the waitress mixing tonic water and a Bichfords concentrate. Will not return.

In terms of the food, the presentation was good and the servings were generous. However, some dishes were lacking in taste and authenticity. The Original Korean Fried Chicken was decent but lacked originality. The Scotch Fillet with sweet potato glass noodles was overcooked and bland, and the Twice Cooked flame-grilled Pork Ribs were average. You can bring your own alcohol or choose from the short drink list available. Overall, the dining experience was enjoyable but could be bolder and more authentic. Reviewed by JT on 22/05/2017.

Went there on the weekend with a few friends for dinner using Living Soul voucher. The voucher costed $49 but we can order up to $100 value in food and drinks. To be honest the price of the food is not cheap, we ordered Original Fried Chicken ($21) with 2 sauces (spicy and sweet soy for $2 each), mixed Grill meat platter ($48), 1 bowl of rice ($3). The menu hardly had any vegetable options. Ordered Eggplant Skewers ($7). A glass of coke ($6) plus a glass of Apple Juice ($7).Our bill came to a total of $97. Thankfully we only paid $49 for the meal otherwise it was not worth it at all.The only good thing was the Original Fried Chicken, very tender, juicy and lots of flavour. Cant believe a little pot of sauce costed $2! I cant even begin to tell you about the mixed grill platter. The pork was overcooked and under seasoned, overall basically the meats lacked flavour and taste. It wasnt enjoyable at all.The caucasian male, which I presume is the owner/manager seemed quite disorgansed and lacked professionalism. While taking our order, he looked away twice talking to his waiters to do stuff for him. He didnt even say "im sorry could you please wait" or " excuse me for 1 moment" at the very least. I had to wait for him to finish what he was saying and then repeat my order.The young waitresses all seem to be students and very inexperienced.Its no suprise as to why they turn to online coupon/vouchers to get more business.But if food and service is the main problem how you can you get more customers.I love my Korean food and this place is definitely not up to standard. There are WAY more delicious and tasty Korean food in the city and other places thats worth going to! I did suggest to my friends to go elsewhere but THEY were insistent in going to this one because of the promotion! They're just suckers for cheap food! Sigh!! In Summary - please dont bother going! Its a waste of time and money.You can find better Korean food elsewhere.
Terrible food and over expensive. Nothing nice on menu. Everything is fried. Ambience is ok if you are in your 20s.
We looked at the menu and chose a bottle of wine, but were told they were out of stock. We chose another one, only to be told the same thing. It was frustrating considering there were only about 10 wines on the menu, some of which were only available by the glass. After finally ordering a wine, we had to remind the waitress to bring it after waiting for 15 minutes. We ordered eggplant skewers, crispy spicy fried chicken, and lamb ribs with a side of fries. Within 2 minutes, the fries were brought out, but the other dishes took a while to arrive. The fried spicy chicken was sticky and overly sweet, similar to KFC, leaving us feeling unsatisfied. The lamb ribs were bland, fatty, and tough, and not worth the $32 price tag. Overall, the restaurant was overpriced, the service was poor, and the food was mediocre. We would recommend giving it a miss.
