  • I came here on a Saturday for dinner with my wife and this is the 4th time having Korean fried chicken in as many weeks. My first introduction to it was the reason I'm sort of on this mission to find "KFC" in the Toronto area. I recently had Korean fried chicken at a place in NYC recommended by a fellow Yelper and since then I'm want to find a place locally that makes it like that or better. I had it at the Fry in North York the week after and my wife has made it at home and it was good too, really good. So this is the 4th time eating it and the 3rd place since I first tried it. This restaurant is in the corner of a strip mall along Dundas not too far east of Hurontario in a mall that is predominantly Asian with many other Korean businesses. The place has sort of a strange set up in that there are booths on the sides which seem a bit more private and a small open area right down the middle. I really wasn't too concerned of where we were going to sit so we sat in the middle. I had ordered a Kirin but they were out so I just had a Sapporo to start. I sort of didn't want fries so we actually ordered a rice dish to go along with the chicken. My wife asked if the chicken was very crispy and our server had suggested we instead of getting chicken with all sauce we go half fried and half garlic soy which made sense so we did that. For the other dish I ordered the pork belly with kimchi on rice. Our server brought out a small combo of sweet corn which seems to be pretty much a universal staple at many of these Korean places I've seen so far as well as a small bowl of cole slaw as complimentary starters. The porkbelly and kimchi rice dish came out first which was good because I was hungry and I didn't care that it preceded the chicken. The kimchi was nice and spicy just how I like it. It may have been a bit hot for my wife that doesn't like hot spice too much but she enjoyed it so much she was enduring it and really enjoying it. The fried chicken came out and it had a small side of fries and ketchup with it. The chicken was steaming out, fresh out of the fryer so that we did have to wait a minute or two to let it cool off to not burn ourselves. This chicken was good the skin was very crispy and the inside was very juicy. The pieces were (as on the menu) wings, thighs and drums as I'm assuming they saved all the breast meat for the karaage, not sure. Still the pieces were not dry at all, very moist but very crispy on the outside. My wife said she thought was a little greasy, I didn't think so. There was a paper on the bottom of the tray and while it had some oil it wasn't collecting at the bottom and the paper wasn't heavy and saturated. Perhaps I will try karaage one day but I really like the bone in chicken instead. I would prefer wings over other dark meat pieces but I liked the dark meat pieces too. I like the food here and while it didn't live up to my experience in NYC (Turntable) it was IMO better than The Fry in North York.
