Portion is very small. Very expensive $ 38 for 1 whole chicken which isn’t enough for no more than 2 people. Taste is mediocre and they do not like giving refills for pickled radish. Whenever you ask for the refill they make you fill guilty… It should be $$$ not $$ because with the same amount of money you can get almost twice as many wings at st louis or wild stars, and triple the amount when they have special. I am not saying it’s bad, it’s just really over priced and they are cheap about side dishes. $ 38 + tax + tip for mediocre wings and making customers fill guilty everytime they give us pickled radish(They give you Very Little Everytime) I would go to other places instead. I am surprised that they didn’t close down yet.

BESTKOREANFRIEDCHICKENINTHECITY!!! I asked the very pretty friendly waitress why their sauce is sooo much more superior to the others and she said, it actually comes from KOREA!!! This place gets stars for food and service. I have ONLY gotten served by this very friendly waitress, all the negative reviews I see is due to bad service. I hope they continue to have her as well as only hire great servers.

Every review is right about the fried oil in the air getting on your clothes! It was a constant problem in Korea as well and every Korean fried chicken place I’ve been to here. The service was friendly, even gave us a sample of the sauce we wanted to try. The spicy sauce is very spicy. To the point it burns after a few pieces. It was very good though maybe next time I’ll ask for it on the side to dip with the original fried chicken because they drown the chicken in their sawwwce. The sweet sauce was so good. The chicken was battered and seasoned well enough for the crunch even with the sauce. We ordered the half and half for two styles of one whole chicken. With a pitcher of beer it came to about $ 50. So it is a form of gourmet fried chicken and trust me I love my KFC and Popeye’s, you’re definitely paying a premium. As with all things Korean, it is much more expensive here than it is there so after living there. It’s nice for once in awhile and it is comparable to kokoya in price and quality. I think kokoyas spicy sauce has less heat for sure. I’d give it more of a 3.5 rating. Loses points for the bathroom with a toilet that doesn’t flush and prices.

The chicken is really delicious, however, their service ruined my whole experience. I went there twice, each time I ordered 1 chicken wings to go. First time I went there, there are only two tables, so I thought my order should be quick, I sat beside the kitchen, and looking the server walking back and forth. After half an hour, I found the people came after me have already got the food. Then I asked her to fasten my order, she didn’t apologize for my waiting at all, and keep me waiting until another 15 minutes. I was really upset about the service, but I decided to try another time just because the awesome food. Sadly, it turned out the waiting time is still a big problem. I don’t know, maybe eating in the restaurant could have a better service, but I rather not try again. Please beware.

I visited with my friends and got the deep fried chicken with onions(Padak) and some beer. Unlike the traditional Padak that uses green onion, this one uses regular onion, which I didn’t like. But the chicken pieces were meatier than those made by The Fry, and I’d say the interior was pretty good too. The server was nice and friendly. Even though this place smelled worse than other bars I know of, I enjoyed my time here. One other issue I had was the men’s room is poorly maintained and I couldn’t flush, and only one person could go in at a time, which was inconvenient. This place is more like 3.5 because of some issues explained above, but I’m bumping up half a star for delicious chicken. I wouldn’t mind coming back for more with my friends.

Okay, my third and final(hopefully) review for this place is now 3 stars. I didn’t get sick this time! Yay! I had to try it again because the fried chicken here is so tasty. Just a heads up, expect to wait about 20 minutes for your order. I’ve only ordered takeout from here and have never sat in, so I can’t really comment on the service. It’s about $ 30(including taxes) for a half & half chicken order(two half chickens with two different sauces). I usually order the hot chili(a bit of sweetness and spiciness) and the original. The fries are also crispy and fat – love that. They also give you a small coleslaw, pickled radishes, and a can of pop! I’ll probably come here again when I have another fried chicken craving.

Dropped in today with a friend after he visited before and highly recommended it. A placed called Chicken and Beers? Love that they were able to avoid copyright infringement, hehehe. This was so awesome. There were some setbacks as we tried to order the drumsticks or wings but they were out. Granted we were there late so this is completely understanding and only let’s me know I’m not getting frozen crap out of the freezer. The server was cute and was great with us, but just like the other reviewers mentioned, service can be a bit infrequent. So we ordered the boneless combo that came with beer and upgraded to a pitcher and a boneless chicken basket, which surprisingly came with Parmesan fries. The combo had a special sauce and was topped with sliced onions, which is a great thing to cut through the fried chicken. Standard beers on tap, but a great place to fill a craving. Best fried chicken I’ve enjoyed in a long time… I also enjoy the K-pop that plays, don’t know why, but it sounded great.

A quick update — chicken is too damned good to give it 3⁄5 stars, so I upgraded to 4⁄5. Server ‘Won’ is absolutelya wesome. One thing else to note is that due to the not-so-great ventilation here, your clothes will smell like chicken when you leave, guranteed. Added a photo too.

Nice batter on the fried chicken, although some pieces did not taste nearly as good as others. Quite pricey overall for what you get. The free appetizers were great despite the small portions. The $ 4 for scattered pieces of fried rice cakes was a waste of money. Service is mediocre.

The chicken is amazing, the menu is a bit pricy, and the service is terrible. We ordered a few different dishes. The chicken was tender and juicy in all of them and the batter was cooked to a perfect crispiness. For 3 orders of chicken and 4 beers our total came to around $ 115. The service however was awful. The waitress was inattentive even though the place was empty except for us. Our beers were brought out much much later even though we ordered them at the start and asked for them to come before the food. The food is great and I would definitely go back for take out. If the service improves I’d go here regularly.

Came here by chance on the day it opened. Official grand opening is still a week away so it was a limited menu(only chicken). Don’t have beer yet, but they gave us free sodas to make up for it. Tried the original and also sweet chicken(whole chicken, half and half). Both were good… I preferred the sweet a little more. Chicken was pretty juicy. Came to about $ 26 They also have other items on the menu which should be available after the opening, like Korean soups, squid, gizzard skewers, etc. Service seemed friendly. Very close to Yonge & Finch TTC. Take credit card. Will definitely be back!
