Probably the best restaurant in the city. Everything in the menu is absolutely delicious, the fried chicken melts, the sauces are to die for & the fries are out of this world. The staff is super kind & the atmosphere is clean & happy! I recommend dining in because the food tastes incredible fresh :)

My parents & I went to this local shop after a winter concert nearby. The atmosphere was warm, the food was fresh & this service was very good. The fried chicken made my frown turn upside down. Great way to support local businesses.

Really good portion. We ate 2 onigiri before going to Dawa. We took the creamy onion sunsal medium size & it was a lot for 2 people. At the end, we had to split the last piece in half to finish everything. The taste was also good, you can really taste the yogurt, the creaminess & the acidity. The onions help a lot to eat the fry chicken since it adds more freshness to it. The chicken was juicy & tender & not dry. The workers are nice. We paid around 22$.

Love this place. Fresh oil every time, & you can tell. When I take out, the chef sometimes gives a free sauce to try! Very thoughtful.

It worth all pennies you spend here. Its really Kentucky but Korean style & much more quality. If you're in the mood for some straightforward, no-frills fried chicken, this is the place to be. 🍗 They don't serve alcohol here, focusing solely on delivering perfectly crispy fried chicken, made fresh right after you order. Whether you prefer your chicken non-spicy or just a tad spicy, make sure to communicate your spice preferences to the friendly service staff. 🌶? For those visiting for the first time, don't hesitate to ask for recommendations-they're more than happy to guide you through their menu.

The ambiance here is remarkably clean & welcoming, with spotless interiors & washrooms to match. 🧼 It's worth noting that the menu at this location differs from the one at the Mount Royal outlet, as this spot specializes exclusively in fried chicken. Lastly, remember to allow some time for your order to be prepared, as each dish is fried fresh upon request. This ensures your chicken is as hot & crispy as it gets! ?
