Samsam Chikin

As casual as it may sound, the name Samsam Chikin carries a deeper meaning. “Sam Sam or Three Three (Sam in Korean translates to ‘three’) means 'Attractive, Gorgeous, and Fantastic,' and it represents the three beloved daughters of Mr. Sung Rah, the Happy Foods Group partner,” shared Kemberly Loja, marketing officer of Happy Foods Group of Restaurants (known for its acclaimed Korean dining establishments such as Sariwon Korean Barbecue, Soban K-Town Grill, and Sibyullee Unlimited Korean BBQ). This thoughtful touch adds a personal and sentimental charm to the brand, making it more than just a restaurant but a story of family and tradition brought to life through food.

For a lighter but equally indulgent option (if you are not a rice-for-breakfast kind of person), the Chikin Croissant Smash is a must-try. It’s a buttery, flaky croissant layers that’s pressed, transformed into a chewy bread-like consistency, and topped with a distinctly flavorful gochujang sauce.
