| - I'm a huge fan of KFC so when I was notified about this place from more than one source I had a feeling that it was something I had to try. I was sort of excited for Mymy because I was told this was a Korean chain sort of like Bonchon (which I've still never had) but since this place was a chain from Korea they'd have a rather more authentic approach to it.
You see, I'm not one to know authenticity when it comes to this food that I've fallen for neck deep in sauce... no, I've never been to Korea or had whatever is supposed to be considered some sort of unofficial standard for KFC.
I do however ALWAYS pull out the ruler. The ruler is that thing I measure against other KFC places and their offerings. That ruler's name is Turntable Chicken Jazz in NYC. The reason this ruler exists is because it's when I was first introduced to KFC and it has for me at least set the standard for what everything else will be measured against because to date I've yet to find anything as good, period. There are really, many Korean fried chicken places in Toronto and I've been to so many of them but nothing and I repeat nothing has reached the pinnacle of how I measure Turntable with all of their offerings.
If Mymy is supposed to be a good representation of how KFC is supposed to be in Korea then I have to say I do in fact really like it... very much, a lot. It's very good but not as good as what Turntable creates or for that matter as good as say what Kaboom in Toronto makes.
Whatever authenticity aside, subjective opinion and other preferences as well... Mymy is a good, solid place to have KFC. The food we had ordered was of a good quality and decent portion. The prices however seemed rather a bit high which is about 25 to 28 dollars per full order and some choices have the option to be boneless for another 2 bucks.
The pieces are made up of full chickens which are drums, wings, breast, thighs, etc cut up in a rather organized way, sauced in whatever way was ordered (or without sauce) and basketed in that familiar red and white checker pattern paper. We had ordered one half/half basket of spicy and original which came in separate half order baskets along with 2 full orders which were one of "retro" and "honey garlic". The retro in the photo looked different almost like what you'd find at Turntable but alas it was basically just a lightly battered take on "original" it seemed. Hopes up and shot down sort of but the offering is still very good. The honey garlic was sticky and tasty while the original and spicy are not that unfamiliar from what you can find just about anywhere.
Mymy's chicken is good, it tastes good, the quality is probably better than most and the sauce isn't greatly exaggerated. The service which I have to point out, it was in fact excellent. I hate to compare but many other places that serve KFC... their service is suspect to say the least. It's almost an ongoing joke I have with my friends. From being given items we didn't order to giving us the bill without asking for it some of our KFC restaurant experiences have been poor. Mymy has friendly and excellent service on the contrary and our server was very polite and attentive.
As far as their product goes it's very good, probably above average of what you may find around town and the ambiance is also good but dem prices tho... almost 30 bucks pre tax for an order is sort of high. It can simply be considered a higher end place I suppose if I had to put a label on it. It's casual sure but not a dive and I suppose their pricing structure reflects that.
There are many other KFC places in North York and around Toronto and it seems to be gaining popularity. I love that this is happening in Toronto.
If there was a case for a 3.5 this would be it but I always round down so I can only give Mymy a 3*. If it was say 2/3 the pricing I'd consider it maybe a 4*.
Good quality, good variety, great service, a little more than other places but better than many out there.
