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.
Après plusieurs années à manger du poulet frit & avoir raffiné ma palette en matière de volaille & de panure hehe, la quête est enfin finie... THIS IS THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN !! Pas juste de Longueuil, mais Montréal aussi & probablement le Québec en entier. Le gravy & la frite chili, tout simplement insane, sans fautes.
En plus les proprios étaient incroyablement smats & accueillant, l'ambiance était incroyable puis tout était singulièrement excellent. À ne pas manquer, bravo !!

After a gruelling badminton session at a local sports centre, my friends & I decided to get some fried chicken for dinner. Despite some initial reservations (Olivia's & dominos were right beside them & seemed to have much larger spaces), we ultimately settled to try the place out.
& what a good decision it was.
Right off the bat the owner was incredibly courteous & friendly as we made our order, offering us multiple sauces to try all on the house! The crispy chicken we ordered was superbly flavored, both the classic & tender versions, & the portions (especially the massive tenders) were extremely generous. Paired with exquisitely crunchy fries alongside a thick & flavorful gravy which was seasoned to perfection (I find some gravies to be a tad over-salty), they also had an amazing dill sauce which paired extremely well with the tenders.
P.S. Their coleslaw was, for me, the icing on the cake; a perfect balance of creamy & tangy - I usually never manage to stomach more than a few bites of the coleslaw which accompanies fried chicken, but here I could have eaten an entire cup without issue.
Poulet pour take-out. Le combo 3e but répond aux exigences. Meilleur poulet frit dans le secteur. La sauce barbecue est délicieuse! Fait cocasse, l'eau pétillante en fontaine pendant l'attente du repas était incroyablement désaltérante! Je connais bien le proprio, Ronny qui est aussi proprio d'un Belle Province (le meilleur ever) à Saint-Hubert, vous pouvez être certain de la qualité & de la propreté des lieux.

Excellent!
Déjà à l'arrivée : l'accueil hyper sympa! Explications sur la carte & les produits.
& ensuite les plats !! Nous avons testé le burger & les lanières de poulet: succulent ! Petite salade de chou servie aussi avec les frites.
Une première fois pour nous & on reviendra c'est garanti !
Nous avons pris le repas 6 morceaux & c'était très réussi. Les morceaux de poitrine n'étaient pas sec & les morceaux de cuisse étaient juteux & pas trop gras.
La bouffe est vraiment bonne! Si tu aimes épicer essayer le burger Nashville qui va vous régaler, le poulet est de bonne qualité, la panure est croustillant, je vous recommande essayer la sauce aneth ou fromage bleu qui sont vraiment bon avec le poulet ou frite!
Super delicious fried chicken, the owner is very friendly, you can see how he cares the customer satisfaction to the taste. The most thing I like is the food is fresh, no frozen chicken, you order then they fry the chicken, very juicy & the portion is worth the money. If you like spicy food, try Nashville chicken burger, very satisfying. Hope the restaurant will keep the quality & passion :) definitely will come back.
Unique recipe & flavour for both the chicken & the sauce. I ordered the 3-piece combo & it was a delicious meal. Lots of love & care is put into making great food. The owner is a really nice guy too. I was glad I visited, & I'll be coming back!
