| - In my pursuit for Korean fried chicken in Toronto, to rival that of Bon Chon and Boka (New York), it was time to give MyMy Chicken a try. We went on a Friday night and had a bit of a wait before getting seated. Interestingly, they'll give you a minimum to maximum wait time. When we went to follow up on the status of our table, we were told it would be a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 30 minutes.
The menu suggests they have 6 styles of fried chicken: Original, Gold Cheese, Onion, Chili Pepper, Curry, Retro. Wanting to try a variety of styles, we order two orders from their Half & Half menu. The Half & Half menu comes with preselected choices, and you can't pick which two you wanted to do half and half of. We were given a side popcorn, radishes and pickled cabbage to start, which we all enjoyed.
The consensus was that the Seasoned Spicy was the best. It was probably more of a medium spicy, and was sweet as well. Our second favourite was the Onion, which kinda tasted like sour cream and onion chips. It was a toss-up between the Original and Gold Cheese. The smell of the cheese on the Gold Cheese was there, but the taste was lacking. The Original was pretty basic, and nothing special. At $27 per order, it may seem a bit pricey, but it is a generous portion. With two portions split three ways, we each had plenty left to take home.
Service was friendly and attentive, but the fried chicken isn't enough for me to wait again. If given the choice between MyMy Chicken and the nearby The Fry, I would choose The Fry.
