| - I had been wanting to come here for awhile because I live right by here, but I just never had the chance up until a week ago. K-POP Chicken replaces the old Billy Jack's Po Boys. This was my first experience with "korean style fried chicken".
The inside basically looks the same as it did when it was Billy Jack's. There are now 2 flat screen televisions mounted on the walls at each end that play K-pop music, which is pretty cool.
2 of us ordered the half-chicken sized bites in the Soy and Garlic flavour and one of us ordered the half-chicken sized bites in medium hot. Our waiter told us that the half size would be more than enough for each of us, We also ordered an egg roll to share.
Honestly, maybe the 3 of us just eat alot, but I really felt like the half chicken portion was pretty small to be eaten as a main for one person. I found myself hungry after I had finished it and luckily the egg roll came. I could have easily eaten the full size chicken of the chicken bites. As for the bites themselves, they were really good. I don't have anything to compare them to but the sauce was thin and flavourful but didn't drown out the slight crispiness of the skin. I would totally come back for the chicken but just order it in a full size.
Also, your chicken order comes with a free salad. I thought this meant for each of us a small salad, but he brought out one plate for the 3 of us to share and honestly it was not a very large portion. The 3 of us only ended up having a really small amount each.
The egg roll was basically an omlette covered in ketchup and another sauce. It was good, but didn't blow me away. The chicken was definately the best part.
The service was very friendly but as a couple of others have noticed I think there may have been a very small language barrier. There were only a couple things forgotten like my dad's beer which he brought after reminded but forgot a glass :). Just little things, but it's not really a big deal, you just have to be clear.
Overall, the standout for me was the chicken (as it should be! This is a chicken place!). There is nothing else comparable to this in Etobicoke so I will come back. Little things could be improved on like possibly portion sizes and service, but I will be back to try some of the other flavours of chicken they have.
