| - This was my first time at the Fry. Whenever I tried going to the downtown/North York locations, they would say it's a 30+ minute wait, so I was quite pleased that I didn't have to wait (practically empty, 2-3 other groups). This new location is nicely renovated, a mixture of black and wood themed booths with a central bar table.
Onto the food, I ordered the boneless chicken in spicy sauce (~$18+tax/tip). It came with a small portion of side dishes, including a sizzling plate of corn. The corn was so hot that there was a burnt section on the foil. It was splattering dangerously, to the point where some of my corn exploded onto the floor and I flinched when the hot oil hit my face. The chicken arrived sometime later, with about 20 pieces liberally coated in sauce. The sauce was tangy, sweet, and a little spicy. The closest thing I can compare it to is sweet and sour chicken and with a hint of gochujang. I wish my chicken was a little hotter though... For freshly fried chicken, I was expecting it to be juicy and steaming when I bit into it. Instead, I was left wondering how long my chicken was sitting to cool before it reached me. I also got sick of the same taste after the first couple pieces and ended up taking the rest home.
Overall it's a decent place to go if you're in a small group and willing to share multiple dishes. I wouldn't recommend it if you're dining alone though because you really can't get more than 1 item and there aren't bento options.
