NeNe” simply means “Yes! Yes” in Korean and our network of stores have been serving authentic Korean fried chicken since 1999. With over 1,000 stores across South Korea; today at the heart of our business lies a sense of excitement that translates in the combination of quality produce and memorable service to everyday Canadian.
Worth trying. Pretty standard Korean fried chicken, great flavours, crunchy, okayish serving size for the price. Comes with a pickle but no drink. Bone in pieces are decently large, includes leg and breast pieces.
The kimchi rice and boneless wings were absolutely delicious! The perfect mix of sweet and spicy flavors in the wings hit the spot with a crispy texture that made them irresistible. This is definitely the go-to place when you’re craving something bold, flavorful, and satisfyingly crispy.
We went for the half and half family deal and tried soy garlic and snowing chilly. Both were tasty, but the snowing chilly was a bit too spicy for us. and we also had the shack shack fries, which were awesome too.
We ordered the family pack (take out) so we could choose two flavours: original and sweet chilli. The original was great, delicious and tasty. The sweet chilli was not hot as they mentioned and after a few bites, the flavour can be a bit tiring. We also ordered fries. The order came with pickled radish which was delicious! Nice balance between sweet and vinegar. Good portions and had left overs. The presentation was excellent with finger covers and wet towels! Very thoughtful additions
We ordered the soy garlic and original nene fried chicken and also tteokbokki. The fried chicken was nicely fried and has the perfect amount of breading. The chicken was nice and moist. Flavors were good. The tteokbokki was also really good. There is seating inside but its not a restaurant. You'll have to order drinks if you want something to drink.
This place is pretty legit for Korean fried chicken We got the family pack with two flavours(snowing chilli and soy garlic) The chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. Kimchi fried rice was whatever but $12 for as a lunch special with drink is not bad Curly fries were good too Overall 8/10
Came here to try out their halal chicken options, got the soy garlic and one of their spicy flavours. It was well flavoured, the spicy was super spicy for me tho. I just felt like it was quite expensive for the serving size, spent almost 50$ for snack sized portion. I wouldn’t go again because of the price, maybe if it was on sale for like $30, but was worth trying once.
Chicken was really juicy which should be expected for a place that specializes in it. The sweet and spicy chicken was barely spicy and I don’t think it’s worth it, the soy chicken was much tastier. Do note that the washrooms are a little awkward to get to and they only provided 4 napkins for us so it might come in handy to bring your own.
So good and fun to eat, try the Snowing Chilli Chicken
Not a lot of seating but the fried chicken is delicious. Boneless is also really good.
Food is good, just might take a little bit
Yummyum
They have some of the best Korean fried chickens in the GTA. We always get their boneless chicken-family size and order half snowing cheese and half soy (or sometimes swicy) and they re always delicious. We usually order on Ubereats and their boxes don t come with a pop bottle just FYI. But they do come with the yummy radish banchan
Great service tasty chicken
Really tasty!!!
The place used to be halal but it s *not halal* anymore. They have started serving pork and I m unsure about how much cross contamination there could be between chicken and pork menu items.
Been here a couple of times and workers are always so sweet and nice. Love this location and their snowing chili chicken!
The chicken was delicious, we got the cheese and sou flavor, boneless. A decent amount for 4 ppl, though we did have other food to go with it.
too salty. The salt land itself is small. I fainted after drinking it with beer.
I love this place, but man it s overpriced. Can t justify $25 for a box of chicken pieces and no sides
I paid $44 for a half-and-half portion, which was quite underwhelming in size. Additionally, they forgot the side pickles and drink. The service has been deteriorating, which might explain the slow pace at this restaurant. Very disappointed.
This is one of the best korean fried chicken places in town that you can get. Its so good but loses one star because of pricing. The chicken prices are not cheap but a nice treat once every few months without breaking the bank.
Mindblowing Korean Chicken! This was probably the best combination ever. Picked it up when we were crazy hungry at lunch. Were thinking of having Korean Chicken for our drive westward, just called up Nene and ordered a half+half Original and Hot Bling combo!! This is a must try! We started eating from North York and were up in tears and lost sensation of tongue with all the spice but we still kept going on and going switching between Original and spicy! Very Much Recommended! Thanks guys for the awesome flavors!
Amazing chicken and the girl at the front was super friendly and kind.
Good service, kind staff, clean workspace, and a great atmosphere! Would definitely recommend and come again
For the price, the portions were small. I expected more, and the chicken was just ok (slightly dry). I think there are better Korean fried chicken places to visit.
Best customer service!!! Shoutout to Jayden for helping me resolvey uber order!
THE CHICKEN IS SOOO YUMMY AND THE WORKESR ARE REALLY NICE AND FRIENDLY!!
Food was great and the server was amazing. Orders soy garlic and snowing chilli chicken, and it was so juicy. The cheese corn was also very good. Will for sure be coming back here again
Overpriced and the pieces are really small. Taste is good but not worth the price.
Service was good and the server was honest!
First time trying Nene Chicken (Hot bling flavor) after my favorite store Chicko Chicken was closed permanently. The chicken was good but the Hot Bling flavor was EXTREMELY SPICY. Omg. Next time I will try another flavor
10/10
We tried the food at this restaurant for the first time yesterday and ordered the Snowing Spicy Chicken. The chicken was good juicy, crispy, and nicely spicy, though a bit sweet. If you eat with your hands, youll need to wash them because they get sticky, and napkins arent enough to clean them. However, I didnt like the atmosphere due to the loud music and other customers video chatting very loudly. The owner didnt address this, which I found strange.
If youre going to take out, only buy it during the 1+1 event. I dont know if it was because they rotated quickly when I did 1+1, but it was crispy and very delicious. I wanted to eat chicken, so I bought it when I wasnt doing an event, so I guess its because it doesnt rotate much, so its soggy, the seasoned chicken just tastes like ketchup, and the radish is wilted. Chicken here is the most expensive, so why bother ordering it here, even though it costs almost $60? We recommend purchasing it only during the 1+1 event.
Average. CreamyOn was sweet like icing. Would not recommend.
Amazing chicken!! Loved it
Very tasty One of the best Korean fried chicken in the neighbourhood.. Their family size is good for 3 people.. Highly recommended !
I liked Nene Chicken so I went an hour away. Taste, price, friendly staff. Everyone is satisfied
I ordered cheese chicken again today after many times here. Last month, I could not order several times because they said snowing cheese was sold out. Today chicken definitely less cheese powder as usual. I only taste little bit cheese flavour. Being disappointed this time.
Fun experience here! Good flavours :)
best fried chicken are those that are fresh, and this is a fresh place!
Not very smart to put a cold can of pop in the hot chicken package. They have to learn to package orders sensibly. Only went here because mymy was closed today.
The staff was very unprofessional and food is also bad smelling Dont waste your money Food : 1/5
Great food at this location
Food is great here just love it
We got take out from NeNe Chicken today. The quality of the food was good: chicken was juicy, there was enough sauce, the flavour was delicious, the sauces were on point (not too sweet or salty) and our take out experience was quick and good. We got half Swicy and half Soy-Garlic flavour. We arrived based on the suggested 15-20 mins. The food was ready, so we picked up and left right away. Cannot speak to the service or atmosphere as we did not dine in.
Chicken is good and worth the wait but the sides are very disappointing.
Not entirely sure why Nene was rated much higher in comparison to its counterparts, but flavor is lacking and for the price and the hype, I was expecting more. I ordered the half and half - snowing cheese and swicy. Now the question is how do I amplify this chicken after spending approx 50 bucks on dinner. Go to BBQ Chicken or Chicko Chicken instead. They never disappoint.
The chicken was very fresh. It is a little pricey but, overall it s good.
They got great cheeseburgers
Taste good
Food was great
Of course, Korean chicken is the best I really enjoyed Snowing.
Chicken and batter were good quality KFC, but the sauces were just okay. I would recommend the Original.
Hmmm i was a bit disappointed with my time spent at Nene chicken. The service at the beginning was fine. Because well, they had to take our order. The chicken portions were large. It was crispy and juicy. They are stingy with napkins, especially when ur there to eat fried chicken. WITH YOUR FINGERS. They ask for a tip even though you have to go get your own food at the counter. The tables are fine. Would i eat here again? NO. Would I order from here again? Maybe not. Kid-friendliness: Sure. Its very kid friendly. U can bring ur kid and let them walk all over the tables and scream at the top of their lungs.
Very nice tasting chicken
I recommend this place to my Friends and family
Came on a Sunday afternoon a bit after it opened. Decided to give this a try since Im rarely in the area. Got the half and half (regular and extra spicy; bone-in) with curly fries; curly fries were just standard, but the chicken was meaty and fresh (regular one had crispy skin). Total was about $50 (with a soda), so i dont see the value to be there to be honest. It was good, but i dont think it was any better than BBQ Chicken. The cashier/server was very friendly and provided excellent service.
This place used to be great and I would at order at least once a month. My most 2 recent experience were horrid; the chicken wasnt even fried correctly once being overcooked and the other time being undercooked. Chicken plus around the corner is way better.
Chicken is great here! Try the soy garlic or original. Dont forget the mozza sticks!
Honestly the actual chicken was not that bad, however it s a bit of a rip off. When you order a family size it says 16 pieces. However out of those 16 pieces we had 4 wings?! I have heard of a place giving wings in bucket meals. Normally it s either thigh, drumstick or breast. They also cut their pieces in half through the bone to make 2 pieces from 1. When you order 16 pieces of chicken it s really like 6 pieces of actual chicken. And 4 chicken wings. Kind of a rip off for the price they charge.
We got takeout from here and the family size chicken was supposed to be 16 pieces. They put 3 wings as part of the 16 pieces which was kind of a rip off, considering we paid $45 for it. They charge about $3 per piece of chicken in the family size so you would assume the portion would compensate but it really is a rip off. The pieces are small, too, making it even worse. They cut each chicken piece in half to make it 2 pieces. Like, come on! There are better places to go for Korean Fried chicken. This certainly isnt the right place if you want a fair price for what is given to you.
The taste of seasoned chicken has changed.
It wasnt to my taste. Very ordinary, nothing special
Perfectly seasoned! Cant go wrong with Korean fried chicken!
Came in for the family meal , really recommend the sweet and spicy flavour was my favourite
Finally found a halal Korean chicken place. Love it!!!
So far our favorite Korean Chicken restaurant. My go to is the snowing cheese. Food is always good and staff are accommodating. Will definitely go back.
Visited last night with hubs after seeing it on IG and it was not disappointing at all. Theres a small wait for your order because the food is freshly prepared. Will be back!
We tried half half chicken of Snowing Cheese and Soy Garlic. The chicken was really good! Very tender and tasty. The fries were good as well, and they provide finger gloves and sanitary wipes. The service was very kind and nicely provided. The only thing is that we had stomachache and had to visit the washroom soon after if you know what I mean aha
I love been chicken. The prices have increased steadily since last year, but this is expected based on inflation. The location is not wheelchair accessible.
The place is kinda small. Tried the snowcheese chicken its great! But not the best out there in my opinion. Prices is much cheaper compared to others I think. Highly recommendable!
Amazing chain Korean fried chicken in Toronto, highly recommended soya sauce fried chicken, it was super delicious (me and my 3 kids love it) Also all staff was very friendly and helpful, definitely back again to try the rest of menu.
The chicken was awesome!!
Good place to eat Korean fried chicken. Have various flavors/ sauce which is good. Affordable price compared to other places. Recommendation for Snowing chili flavor and Shack-shack fries
The chicken with the sauces are very tasty. The ones with the cheese powder is still very tasty but I recommend getting a drink if you order the cheese ones.
Delicious food, polite staff good experience overall. Yes, I will go back for more!
Another good option for Korean fried chicken in the area. The swicy flavor is pretty mild overall while the snowing chili has a good kick to it.
Yummy korean style fried chicken with unique flavours!
We ve gone here multiple times, the place is clean and the chicken is very good. Very small sitting area which means when you go at or near peak hours then good luck finding a spot to sit in. Chicken is delicious, especially the snow chili chicken and soy chicken which is our favourite. Don t come here for the presentation though.
Good fried chicken! The only reason why I don t give this place 5 stars is because I wish the chicken had been crispier. But flavor, and juiciness were definitely there.
Great flavor but chicken a but fatty. Awesome service
Worst chicken I ever had in Toronto. In my opinion BBQ chicken is much better, the spicy sauce doesn t taste any spicy just way too sweet
Tasty chicken, great ambiance, personable staff.
Poor customer service.
Delicious Korean Fried Chicken! This spot is tiny so you might not be able to dine in as they have about 5-6 tables but their chicken is bomb so definitely try to takeout if you are in the area. I got the #2 and #6 both very juicy.
No recommend. Thick breaded skin was difficult to bite through. The cheese one was flavourless and tasted no much difference from original one. Some pieces were just barely covered by cheese powder.
Really good and tasty chicken. I loved it. A little bit too sweet and salty for me, but it was fine. I would come back again
Restaurant could be cleaner - the table and chair was quite sticky actually. Chicken was good! Freshly fried and generous amount of sauce. We got the spicy one. Service was very friendly. I would recommend!
Thank you for having such amazing chicken Im sure Ive put on weight just from eating here atleast 5 times
was over charged by a couple dollars, ordered 10 chicken wings 1 flavour that s included, but i was charged an extra fee for sauce on my wings. ???? i don t understand the logic. 10 wings tossed in sauce price $22.50.
One of the best Korean chicken I have tasted
Their fried chicken especially green onion chicken is amazing. But Their washroom is kinda sketchy and not so many dining tables available in the restaurant.
Finally got to try one of Korea s top fried chicken chains - got the Original NeNe Fried Chicken with their Creamion sauce and it was interesting. It wasn t terrible, but the strong yogurt flavour was throwing me off
Its a fast food type restaurant. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. Its a busy little restaurant, and its best to order online for take out. Otherwise, the wait could be at least 20 minutes.
OMG! The best Korean Fried Chicken ever!!!! I was in the area and decided to stop in and pick up the 10-piece chicken wings-only deal. The staff immediately greeted me, and we were so welcoming and super friendly! The staff even gave me a small side of the sweet chilli sauce for free! Now, let me tell you, the chicken was not greasy at all! NOT GREASY!!! And the oil NeNe Chicken used to fry was super clean, NO burned used oil flavour! My chicken was cooked right through! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, not too salty, just right! The pickled Daikon, Mmmmm!!! I wish I had more pictures to show other customers, but I couldnt wait and ate them all. Thank you for such a great visit! I will definitely be back, for sure!!
Went to Nene fried chicken for the first time and will NOT go back. Chicken is full of fat and not cleaned. I ordered an 8 piece boneless range and it looked as if they just cut up random pieces of chicken and served. The fries were lack luster and looked liked a kids portion. Overall the chicken is flavorless and greasy. They also increased thier prices. Not worth the price.
20 mins wait for the food at 7pm, unnecessary too long.
Downgraded a lot since it became famous on Tiktok. The places being extremely cheap and budget on what they offering. Chicken: dry, youre eating flour instead of meat. There aint no meat in the chicken pieces. Charging extra for radish when it was offered complimentary before, and also by other chicken places. Fries: charging nearly 5 bucks for exactly 20 pieces of fries ... used to be filled up to half the fries bag. Fries are also undercooked, bit crispy!!!
There were flies in the restaurant. Already ran out of the soy garlic chicken by 5:30pm on a Saturday.
Great Korean Fried Chicken. Tender, perfect amount of breading.
Berry berry good fwafors . The breading is thicker but the swicy sauce not too swicy... Sooo yumm I ate all of it. My friends tried taking the bones home but it was good I stopped them
My new favourite Korean fried chicken shop. I personally love their soy garlic chicken and snow cheese. Cant go wrong with fries and pickled radish on the side too!! I highly recommend! Their chicken is very juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Not too over breaded. Ive only ever ordered take out, so I cant comment on the shop itself. I like their take out boxes though. Theyre all packed really well into a pizza-like box.
Excellent service, delicious chicken, and great atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend trying their signature flavors.
Snowing Chilli was
Such a conveniently located place with an awesome vibe! I come here with friends and family every now and then and have always had such friendly service and loved the music here!
Amazing korean fried chicken chain that serves up crispy boneless fried chicken!! Made fresh to order, their soy garlic is the best.
First time going to Nene chicken and definitely not my last
Really bad experience. I came here for lunch with coworkers and we order the yes burger, onion rings, and 3pc drumstick lunch combo. One of the chicken burgers was raw on the inside, which the staff acknowledged and refunded. My friend did not finish her burger and lost her appetite, but the rest of us finished our meals. The chicken was very greasy and overwhelming. After several hours our stomach started to hurt. I would avoid this place.
I have to say their food is great. BUT, the amount of flies that s in the restaurant is outrageous. The cashier literally waved off a fly that was happily enjoying my meal when I was checking on my order which had been sitting there for minutes after it s ready. Good luck with your order.
Yummy fresh Korean fried chicken for a good price!
Maybe I had too high expectations I think fast food chicken is better..
Tasty Korean fried chicken
Best Korean chicken in the GTA. Get the original or the lunch box and you won t regret it.
The best korean chicken i ve ever had in Toronto. My boyfriend and i tried hot bling and snowing cheese flavours, and we left the restaurant with no regrets :)
Got takeout from nene for work since we were having a stressful day for everyone Within walking distance and took me so long so try them out but nice to say that this is another solid Korean fried chicken spot right by yonge and sheppard area The chicken was crispy and nice and fresh. The staff was going through it so quick I didn t even get a decent picture lol Service was great. Food promised at the pick up time, give or take a minute or two. Really impressed considering I had 3 half orders and 4 servings of fries There is also seating in there but very limited and parking can be quite challenging. There s also a few spots behind the strip plaza but can get filled up quickly Great job overall
Little bit small dining area but good food and efficient service!
Great service here never disappoints
This is a Must if you go to Toronto. Trust me you wont regret it. They have nice, light, and tasty fried chicken. The number 5 is the best!
Really good fried chicken
Typically, we go for the garlic soy and onion Parmesan options at Korean fried chicken places because theyre usually foolproof. However, the soy garlic here didnt quite impress us enough to rave about it. Its possible our taste buds are a bit spoiled, considering were from LA, where we have access to many fantastic Korean fried chicken shops.
Great location
First time here. Got the Nene burger combo. Chicken was delicious and the fries were great! Definitely coming to back to try other menu items
The shake shake fries are the best around
This place is a good Korean fried chicken spot it s quite popular! But it is quite expensive if you re bringing people with you I d say about $15-25 per person, I ve came here 3 times with my family and gotten the soy garlic chicken,regular chicken,swicy chicken and snowing chilli cheese chicken I personally don t like the soy garlic to much it s a bit to much for me and the swicy chicken is okay for me I m not used to these sweet savoury sauces but if you re someone who loves sweet and savoury I d definitely come here! The curly fries and mozzarella cheese sticks are good a bit small in portions but that s okay and then yes burger is also delicious my favourite actually! The service here is great the staff are always patient and kind they don t rush you or anything of the sort and help you out if you can t decide. The wait time isn t to bad either considering they make it fresh I wait an average about 15-25 minutes over all I love the service and if you got some friends you wanna go get fried chicken with i d come here! There s other shops beside it so there s always something for someone! 9/10
Literally the best fried chicken Ive ever had. Their food is great. Ive eaten every item on the menu and the quality is top notch. The chicken is the reason you go.
Recommend Nene chicken best place
Ordered the yes burger and fries really tatsty
Literally the best fried chicken Ive ever had. Their food is great.
Absolutely delicious chicken! The snowing chilli is the most perf spice on chicken, the boneless chicken is juicy and perfectly cooked, the curly fries are fantastic. The atmosphere is super cool and casual, the booths have tiny yellow roofs over them which is so cute. Definitely check this place out!
Got a half and half of boneless snow cheese and swicy chicken, both were absolutely delicious, would 100% recommend and go again
Very good different taste loved....
Nene is now my favorite place
First time on Nene chicken and definitely not my last
Wow best chicken Ive had in Toronto
Great food at a reasonable price. The chicken was very well cooked and the sauces has a great taste to it.
The restaurant is tiny and is pretty much just a narrow corridor with seatings on either side. Definitely works as a takeout spot if you dont live too far. The menu is a bit confusing IMHO. There are steps listed but they arent laid out in a sensible manner. Easier to just talk to the person at the cash register. The wait time for the chicken takes quite a while as they prepare it fresh. What you get if youre patient is an amazingly crispy, not super oily, hot off the fryer fried chicken experience. Definitely worth the wait.
Best Korean chicken place
I love the chicken! The chicken burger is excellent friendly and kind staff. Sheppard & Yonge Food
Food is good here, big space and very clean. Portions are pretty good here.
Fries,wings and burgers were all good I totally recommend coming here
Wonderful experience great place
We arrived for late lunch, eager to try one of the newest Korean Fried Chicken joints in North York. The restaurant is small, with a few tables only. I did my research already, so I quickly ordered two flavours (snowing cheese and soy garlic). I also ordered snowing cheese powder with my french fries, as it comes highly recommended. The soy garlic KFC is moist and flavourful. The snowing cheese KFC is the real winner IMHO. The cheese powder compliments the chicken, the fries, and probably every food type available in your pantry at home (seriously, bring this stuff home with you!). The restaurant also offers chicken lunch box, which would be more economical for a quick lunch. It comes with three drumsticks, which you can customize with any flavours (cheese!). During our visit, my order wasnt recorded well, which caused discrepancies between my receipt and the contents of my tray (which I had to double-check multiple times with the cashier). The server was quick to rectify (too quickly I noticed, as they gave in to my demands before I even finished explaining myself). But this incident did not discount the fact that they have great food and should be in the list for anyone craving for KFC.
The food was good and I ordered the burger and onion rings. Parking: Finding a parking space in this area is a bit difficult. Food : 5/5 |
The food was alright, but the whole place was very cold since they decided to leave the door open while it was windy and 3°C outside.
Very nice food
So good
Boneless half-and-half delivered for $60. The fried food was soggy and full of scraps, and the pieces were small. The taste was very different from when I opened it.
Great experience
Tried the chicken wings that were snowing chili cheese they were crispy and tasty. Also loved the soy garlic wings -- they were savory & sweet, had real slices of garlic, and were succulent and crispy
Great little place, Soy Garlic chicken is to die for ;)
The cheese flavoured fried chicken is great!
Crispy, juicy, and delicious. Top list of Korean Fried chicken in TORONTO. It took almost 30 minutess to be served but yummy food is always worth spending time
This restaurant serves the best fried chicken I ever had in the GTA... This little restaurant has fantastic Korean fried chicken, coupled with awesome service... Its right on Yonge St. North of Sheppard ave... Its very reasonably priced... I highly recommend... Parking: Parking at Yonge&Sheppard shopping mall for $10/hr... The restaurant is 5-10 min walk to the parking lit
Close too early
Excellent place...need to try! Halal...yes halal boneless chicken!! Flavours tried were swicy (great for kids) and hot bling...really spicy...but cant stop eating!
Chicken is really fresh and worth the wait. However, I d recommend not ordering the snowing cheese flavour d chicken. Got tired real fast we all thought after one piece. Stick with the Classics and save your money by not ordering fries or the onion rings. Fries are flavourless and unsalted and the rings come in a tiny box with about 4-5 inside.
best Korean chicken in North York.
My go to place whenever I m craving Korean fried chicken. The first time I tried it was takeout and it turned out to be delicious, so I had to try it in person. They have a variety of flavours to choose from which include the snowing chilli, which was personally one of my favourites! I have nothing bad to say about this place. Everything was very good, including the sides as well. The chicken was crispy and very flavourful. If you re ever in the area, please check it out, you cannot go wrong with this place.
The best Korean fried chicken in town. Huge portions - half&half enough for 3 people to share, and great flavor variety. Love the chili cheese (spicy with a tone of sweetness) and snow cheese bone-in.
