Amazing chicken, literally the best fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life. It’s so juicy and perfect with massive potions. I will be coming back here again. The picture looks as good as it tastes.

★★★

For their price point, they're decent. Wouldn't really go out of my way to get them but it's something to consider when you're in the area during lunchtime for their combo meal. I tried out their soy garlic and the flavor profile isn't really my favorite out of all the korean fried chicken places. I would come back and try out their other flavors when I'm in the area again

★★★★★

We had their Half and Half bone in, Original and Soy Garlic and a side order of snowing cheese fries. Their Original fried chicken is similar to Taiwanese styled flavour. Chicken was juicy. They don't have a lot of seating but I believe the reason why it looks dead inside is because most people order take out

We ordered the original boneless fried chicken + cheddar fries. The chicken was delicious! And the fries came with a good amount of cheese 💖 definitely we’ll come back 🌷

So glad to see a Korean Fried Chicken joint at Y&L area, and it’s a good one! Service was fast, staff was friendly. They have some creative flavors and it seems to work well. Will definitely comeback.

Typical Korean chicken joint! I ordered the sweat and spicy chicken, snowing cheese chicken, and cheddar fries for take out. Wasn’t able to take pictures of the food but it was well worth the price for quantity and flavours of the chicken! Would be back again if only this was closer to home! Service is good, staff is friendly, quick 10-min take out!

This is my new favourite fry chicken spot, please give them a try The chicken is so delicious and crispy, portions are big at a good price. The place and website need better publicity but the employees are nice and the food is amazing. I normally order to go, and even if I eat it after a long journey to get home, still amazing.

My current favourite Korean chicken place! It’s not close to where I live, but I always order from here (even though there are at least 3 other Korean chicken places within walking distance from my home). I’ve never dined in so can’t say much about that, but delivery has always been great (chicken stays warm and crispy). Their sweet n spicy and snowing cheese are my favourite.

The most delicious and worthwhile Korean fried chicken I have ever had in the entire province of Ontario. Theres nothing to say about the taste, the chicken is fried crispy and juicy, and the sauce tastes classic. The most important thing is that the portion is large and the price is not too expensive. Two flavors of boneless combo with French fries are a bit too much for both boys to finish. I highly recommend this restaurant. It s really great. I ll come here often in the future.

The best of both worlds! Unique flavors that taste like a fusion between Korean-style and Chinese-style Fried Chicken. Honey Garlic Bone-In was perfectly served (not too much sauce, fresh and hot), juicy and VERY generous portions and variety of sides and desserts. 100% worth the price. Well be back.

I come here often. The boneless chicken always hits the spot. They could benefit greatly from a smaller space, because this neighbourhood mostly does take out.

I was really excited to try this place, but I guess it wasn t for me, I saw a lot of reviews and comments about the chicken price and affordability, but I find the price same as other places but with out the free radish or pop. Chicken wasn t bad but the one that I tried was too sweet and u can t really taste the other flavours.

We came here at a good time, not really many people. The service was fast and the server was polite. Hands down the best and juiciest Korean fried chicken we ve had. We got their Sweet-spicy Medium Bone-in and Boneless Soy garlic. Both pair amazing with pickled radish.

Order a Half and Half on Uber eat. The food was delivered in about 30mins. I have tried a few Korean fried chicken place and this is by far the worst one. The chicken was soggy!!! I ordered half original and half wasabi. All pieces from both flavour are soggy and cant find a single crispy part on any of them. I was extremely disappointed.

★★★★★

This place had such amazing chicken, some of the best Korean fried chicken I ve ever had!! I ve the snow cheese and creamy wasabi. Please be successful enough to open a downtown location I would go so often, it definitely goes toe-to-toe with bigger chains like the Fry and BBQ Chicken

We recently went to Yum Yum for dinner. The young lady at the counter was nice, friendly & helpful. We ordered a few items and decided to eat in, the food was delicious. We ordered soy garlic chicken, creamy wasabi chicken & spicy cheeto wings. The soy garlic chicken was a hit!! It was delicious, juicy & very flavorful. I would definitely order the soy garlic chicken again & again!! The wasabi was nice, juicy & the wasabi chicken was not over baring it had a very subtle wasabi taste. The cheeto wings tasted like you guest it cheetos but it was a welcome addition to the order. I would definitely recommend Yum Yum to my family & friends if they are looking for delicious & juicy chicken. I would definitely order & dine in again & again from Yum Yum.

Opening less than three months ago, it offers Korean fried chicken (KCF) with a twist by adding a variety of sauces (creamy wasabi, honey mustard) and toppings (curry, Cheetos) not usually found at other KFC restaurants. They also serve sandwiches, wraps, and sides like fries, onion rings, and pickled reddish. Dont forget to try their mixed balls (chocolate, red velvet) and even the cheese balls for an explosive experience. Some of the flavors we tried are the following: Creamy Wasabi Honey Garlic Golden Curry Spicy Cheeto Sweet N Spicy Original Snowing Cheese Out of all the flavors, I loved the Creamy Wasabi, Honey Garlic and Golden Curry.

★★★
May 21, 2024

Overall 3/10. Chicken 7/10. Service 0/10. Experience 2/10. The worst service and dine in experience ever. Their Korean fried chicken are not served with pickled radish. They don t even serve water because we don t have water, we sell water and pop . Ridiculous. They even made you order at their counter and pay upfront although we are dining in. However, chicken was good, fresh and juicy. Recommendation: just order takeout, don t ever dine here.

I tried their most popular menu, spicy chicken. The only downside is the lack of sauce and radish. Most Korean fried chicken places come with free radish, and a pop. Yum Yum Chicken doesn t provide that, you have to pay for everything separately even the pop, and the radish.

Stopped by for some fried chicken . I would say it s pretty good in comparison to a lot of places nearby . They are probably new so aren t super busy . The chicken was nice moist and crunchy and juicy at the same time . They have a limited menu which is great . The staff was friendly and sweet . The only reason it lost a star was because two of the pieces weren t completely cooked and it smelled funny at the end . It doesn t bother me much some places are worse but it matters . Will visit again though .

Delicious Korean fried chicken and reasonably priced! I prefer the soy garlic here over the other staple KFC places, like The Fry. The double spicy as hot but not overwhelming if you have a decent spice tolerance. Parking: Paid street parking in front of store. Free street parking for one hour on side residential streets.

I saw a post of this place on tiktok, and Im so glad i came to try the food! I ordered food through ritual, and the food was ready when i picked it up. The chicken was still hot and crispy by the time i was home. The inside of the chicken was soft and moist. The flavours were really tasty. The only thing that didnt keep well, was the cheese fries It was all cold and soggy when i got home, but thats not the restaurants fault. TlThe restaurant has a few seatings, as the interior is a bit small. The staff was really friendly when i picked up the food. I will definitely come back and try more flavours!

I really wanted a good fried chicken place on Yonge but was disappointed. Its just average. A bit too salty and the flavour is not Korean seasoning although its called Korean fried chicken....You have to buy the radish separately. If you dine in, they give you paper plate with plastic glove to eat. The chicken will come in the takeout box and youll have to buy your water. Whether its for dine in or delivery, I prefer to order from Nene or The Fry for both flavour and customer experience.
