Reviews describe Yakyu as a top choice for fried chicken on the south shore, with chicken that is tender inside, crispy outside, and well seasoned, often praised for its juicy meat and flavorful crust, including a variety of sauces such as a homemade dill sauce and a spicy signature that elevate the dish. The portions are consistently generous, with family combos and multiple pieces or tenders noted, and sides like fries that are crispy and tasty, sometimes complemented by poutine or chili fries. The service is frequently highlighted as friendly and welcoming, with the owners and staff described as sociable and attentive, though a few visits mention longer wait times or occasional inconsistencies. Price points are seen as reasonable by many given the quality, while others feel prices are on the higher side. The place is frequently described as a family run and casual spot that is worth a visit, with some reviewers mentioning halal options, strong burgers, and a sense of returning regularly.
Chicken is well seasoned & crispy. The portions are generous & the staff is friendly. This place is definitely meant for take out but if necessary there are a few table to sit down. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. The homie burger combo was so good!!!

Le poulet était excellent, bien meilleur que celui du colonel, les enfants ont beaucoup apprécié les grottes de type panné & le service était très sympathique. Toutefois, la salade de choux goûtait bizarres & personne ne l'a aimé. J'y retournerai a coup sur dès que j'ai une fringale pour du poulet frit.
Coup de coeur pour ce resto. Employés très gentils, & portions généreuses. Ça vaut la peine de se déplacer de Montréal pour y aller. Le poulet frit & les frites chili sont très bons.
Vraiment rien de spécial. Les pains brioches sont de la marque Pom de l'épicerie, les frites sont les flavorcrisp congéles de Costco. Le poulet frit y'est rien de special. Mieux aller au KFC ou ailleurs, ne vaut pas le détour.
Excellent all around. Probably the best fried chicken I've had on the south shore. Prices were also very reasonable for the quality you get. I'd definitely go again.
C'est bon mais pas exceptionnel ! Le poulet relâche beaucoup trop d'huile. On a refusé de me servir un menu poussin à emporter car je n'étais pas accompagné d'un enfant !!! Mauvais service il vaut mieux passer par Uber eats plutôt que de se déplace
Lanières avec sauce a l'aneth c'est A1, je ne suis pas fan de l'aneth mais le mix des 2 c'est parfait! Le poulet est tendre & savoureux. Les frites sont excellentes. Service rapide, petite salle a manger sur place & à emporter. L'essayer c'est l'adopter.
