Ajuker Chicken

I was kind of excited when I see the Bright Red Sauce on our half and half chicken…
Usually Red = Spicy specially in a Korean restaurant? But disappointingly the sauce is a sweet sauce… or is it sweet? or sour? or just some colouring? I just could not pin point the taste…
The plain fried chicken is quite crispy though.
Medium Size is good as a snack for 2 people to share… as an afternoon snack? Some beer or Soju would have made the experience more enjoyable…
Ajuker Chicken is kind of homey. simple with no decoration. Service is warm and friendly.

In August I went to new york city with a friend. After a 12 hour bus trip, we went directly to Bön Chon, the Korean fried Chicken near 35 st. It was a blessing for who was eating chips for last few hours, please see the review I wrote before.
After that trip, we were searching everywhere in Toronto hoping to find some places serves Korean Chicken. Nth, we saw sth in the Korean Super Market, but doesn’t look the same.
I might need to explain what is a big deal of Korean fried chicken wings. It is just. very crunchy outside and juicy inside. only fans understands that ~
I found Ajuker Chicken accidentally, while walking from finch to steels. I texted my friend, we went right away.
We order all the flavors on the menu, (have to say the service is very warm, waitress is helpful and nice). The transitional is just deep fried, as crunchy as we had in NYC, the spicy one, is not really spicy. that is the only thing we were not very satisfied. (altho the sauce is kinda sticky to my taste) We also ordered sweet soy sauce and a special one covered with green onion. Friend loves the sweet soy sauce, but I considered it too sweet, I love the green onion with a mustard touch. Anyhow, All the chicken wings are crispy outside and juicy inside. We were so happy~
I was debating giving a 3 or 4, so that I asked my friend, he insist i post a 4 star,~ so there~

Went with several friends, service was friendly enough. We love fried chicken, and we each ordered small half & half (meaning half original flavour and half sweet/​spicy sauced). The chicken was certainly hot, crunchy and delicious. However, a couple of observations:
— We each ordered a small. Instead, they brought our orders dumped all together on the same plate. This is NOT professional — we each ordered separately, so give us our separate plates of chicken. We had no way of telling how much each of us should have gotten. Also, they charged us individually for small, when in reality the plate was the equivalent to what neighbouring tables had ordered as a medium (which costs $ 4 less than the sum of our orders). Not cool.
— The place looks like a dive. It was really dirty and beat up, like the kind of dark place you’d visit after getting drunk at the local pub. The interior of McDonald’s is high class compared to this.
Good chicken, but definitely get it to GO.

Somebody PLEASE tell me what «Ajuker» means — I’ve been trying to figure this out.
I came here yesterday for my friend’s birthday to Ajuker Chicken. It’s a small little restaurant — was easy to miss. We went in, and requested for 8. We had to add a table to the end of one of the booths.
Service was great — the waiter was friendly and joked around with us. We ordered SIX (yes, SIX dishes) among us 8. We had two half & half chickens, spicy boneless chicken, fried boneless chicken, french fries, and spicy squid. The half & half chickens were good — I really enjoyed that. Plain chicken and then another side of saucey chicken. The boneless chicken was okay — but I really prefer chicken with bones (there’s just something about it that makes it so much better). The spicy chicken was good too; however I didn’t enjoy it THAT much. The French fries were mediocre. Spicy squid was good — however, I found more vegetables than squid, which was slightly disappointing.
As side dishes, they provided us with daikon — which I snacked on continuously throughout the night; an interesting coleslaw with mayo and ketchup on top; and a refreshing bowl of soup that is shared among everyone. The soup was delicious because it offset the fried greasiness of everything else.
