| - Like other reviewers here have expressed, The Fry has effectively been replaced by this place as the go-to place to satisfy any KFC craving. My group ordered the spicy (warning to those with allergies, this dish contains peanuts), gold cheese, and green onion varieties of fried chicken. Pickled daikon, popcorn, and a simple slaw were the sides that came with it and nicely offset the potentially overwhelming greasiness that comes with eating KFC (though, on this point, I kind of miss the mayo corn on cast iron griddle from The Fry). Overall, the meat was moist and tender while the batter adequately crisp, with restraint--- a good balance. The green onion chicken I would say is on par with The Fry's, but a touch saucier. The gold cheese is an interesting new thing for me, tasted almost like they caramelized cheese into the batter. The spicy brings on some respectable heat and perfectly complements a pitcher of ice cold Asahi. I look forward to trying the other flavours when I'm in the area again.
