Ziggle Panmure is the Panmure home of Ziggle, the Auckland-born name in Korean Fried Chicken and gourmet burgers. Located at 139 Queens Road, it's where skilled chefs cook up dishes that blend the rich, bold flavours of Korea with the juiciness of handcrafted burgers — a diverse menu built so that chicken enthusiasts and burger lovers alike find something delightful.
The Ziggle story started with childhood friends Chris and Min, who grew up in Auckland dreaming of introducing the city to authentic Korean fried chicken. They began around five years ago with a humble food truck, opened their flagship store on Karangahape Road, and have since grown into multiple locations across the city's suburbs — with Panmure proudly among them. The menu is led by General Manager and Chef Ray, whose kitchen turns out signature Korean fried chicken cooked to crispy perfection and glazed in a range of mouthwatering sauces, alongside handcrafted burgers that capture the essence of Korean culinary artistry with Western influences.
Ordering at the Panmure store is deliberately easy: order online for pick-up, arrange home delivery through Uber Eats, or simply walk in and order on the spot. The store is open seven days a week, Monday to Sunday, from 11:30am to 9:30pm.
Every great plate of Korean fried chicken begins with a sound — the unmistakable hiss of chicken hitting hot oil — and it's exactly where Ziggle gets its name. At 139 Queens Road in Panmure, that sizzle is the soundtrack to a menu built around two great loves: Korea's famously crispy, sauce-glazed fried chicken and the juicy, handcrafted world of gourmet burgers. It's the kind of place where a quick weeknight dinner and a weekend treat look much the same: hot, crisp and glossy with sauce.
Ziggle Panmure is one of several Ziggle kitchens across Auckland, and it carries the same promise that made the name a local favourite: ridiculously good chicken, made with care, served fast and full of flavour.
Ziggle's story began not with a shopfront but with a food truck. Childhood friends Chris and Min grew up together in Auckland, sharing one dream — to introduce their city to the delectable flavours of authentic Korean fried chicken. Around five years ago they turned that dream into reality on four wheels, cooking for crowds across the city and building a following one batch of chicken at a time.
The first permanent home came on Karangahape Road, where the pair poured their hearts into serving their local community. That support gave Ziggle the confidence to grow, and today the brand has expanded its footprint across Auckland's suburbs — with Panmure now proudly among the locations.
Behind the kitchen is General Manager and Chef Ray, who leads a team of passionate cooks and a menu curated specifically for chicken enthusiasts. The food is a deliberate fusion: the bold, rich flavours of Korea meeting Western influences, so a single order can hop from sauce-glazed chicken to a stacked burger without missing a beat.
The signature at Ziggle is, unsurprisingly, the Korean fried chicken — cooked to crispy perfection and glazed in a range of mouthwatering sauces. It's the dish the whole brand was founded on, and the one that keeps chicken enthusiasts coming back. With a whole range of glazes to work through, repeat visits rarely taste the same twice.
Alongside the chicken sits a line-up of handcrafted burgers that capture, in the brand's own words, the essence of Korean culinary artistry. For anyone who has ever argued about whether dinner should be fried chicken or burgers, Ziggle's answer is refreshingly simple: both.
The menu is intentionally diverse, too. Whether you're a devoted chicken enthusiast, a committed burger lover, or simply someone after something delightful for dinner, there's a place for you on it.
Convenience is part of the Ziggle experience. Order online for pick-up and collect your food fresh from the Queens Road kitchen, arrange home delivery through Uber Eats, or simply wander in and order on the spot — no planning required. The Panmure store is open seven days a week, Monday to Sunday, from 11:30am to 9:30pm, which makes it an easy shout for late lunches, family dinners or a post-work chicken run.
Ziggle's founders are quick to say their success isn't measured by growth alone. It's rooted in a relentless pursuit of culinary perfection and a genuine connection with the communities each store serves. Every Ziggle location has its own charm, and Panmure's is simple: a vibrant neighbourhood spot where the chicken crackles, the burgers are crafted with care, and everyone is welcome.
At Ziggle, the team likes to say it's not just about serving food — it's about creating an experience: a fusion of flavours, a celebration of community, and the art of crafting the perfect Korean fried chicken. If you're in Panmure and craving something that marries tradition with innovation, the sizzle on Queens Road is waiting.
