I am no expert on Korean Fried Chicken but I have had a couple of memorable samples of it in New York and LA. Clearly I have some catching up to do here in Toronto because it seems to be a thing. And Mymy Chicken appears to be a great place to start. The atmosphere is really quite nice, the tables not crowded, and even though it was bustling, the noise level was energetic (but not annoying).
We ordered the combo half Golden (cheese) and half Seasoned Spicy (the "Best" combo according to the menu) plus a beer and a bottle of Soju to split. Even though the place was full, the order came right away. The service was friendly and efficient.
Two things fried chicken need to be are 1) hot and 2) juicy. Big marks on both counts for Mymy.
The chicken with finely grated cheese and cheese powder was a curious flavour. The cheese powder has the kind of taste usually reserved for Doritos or Au Gratin potato chips. Together with fried chicken, this is a taste profile that is unusual but oddly addictive.
The Seasoned Spicy Chicken was covered in a sweet sticky sauce that displayed hints of cinnamon. It wasn't what I would normally gravitate towards (I like a drier actually spicy type) but again it was also oddly addictive. The fried chicken underneath was very good. At $29 for the combo the amount of chicken we got was generous, and we did manage to control ourselves and walked out with leftovers.
Overall even if the flavors were unfamiliar I am giving this place a solid 4 because I think what they do, they do really well. We will be back to try some of the other styles, but in the meantime we have quite a few other places to check out as we do a shallow dive into Toronto's Asian fried chicken scene.
