    My go to place whenever i crave for fried chicken burger. It is very similar to KFC fried chicken burger in China which is my favourite. The burger $9.49 is huge, fresh and tasty. I can also add extra tomato and lettuce, makes it even bigger and mouth full. AiTaiker is a small store (although quite clean and nice) more suitable for take out or single person quick meal. Service is fast and accurate. Will go back to try more of the items on the menu, they all look delicious.

    Popcorn chicken bento box

    My first visit here was a number of years back when they first opened. I remember wondering how long they would last as it didn't seem very busy and while this is considered fast food you don't get it very fast (they do not have food precooked warming under heat lamps). There are a handful of tables to eat in but takeout is the preferred option. Everything on the menu is deep fried. Monster flattened chicken in different flavours, deep fried tofu, squid rings, chicken bento boxes (options of popcorn chicken or chicken tenders). They have a daily special menu (like Popeyes) where everyday is a different menu item at a daily special price. We ordered the popcorn chicken bento box (10 minute wait) and the daily special. Unfortunately they had just run out the daily special and we were told it would be a 30 minute wait so we passed on it. Portion of the bento box is incredibly generous, in addition to the popcorn chicken and rice you also get corn and broccoli. Chicken was tender and moist. Bento box was $11.99 and if you pay in cash you get 10% off. Really good deal. If price is no issue you can always use one of the food apps to order ahead and then pick up but you won't be paying $11.99 -10% for paying in cash. The alternative is to pop in, order and then wander over to the supermarket in the same strip mall and then come back to pick up, you can grab a seat and stare at your phone until your order is called, which is something most people were doing.

    We ordered the VOLCANO CHEESE CHICKEN combo that came with fries and a pineapple drink. We just couldn't leave without trying the cheese pull! We also had the SQUID BALLS and SQUID TENTACLES. They were INKREDIBLE!

    Nice Taiwanese fried chicken fresh from the fryer. Wish they'll open for dine in again as the drive home smelling the chicken was tortuous haha We got 2 of the chicken cutlets combo, one original and one cheesy. The cheesy cutlet with black pepper season was by far the better one, as the black pepper adds a nice bit of spice while the lava cheese inside was so tasty! We also got the snack sampler which was a giant box of popcorn chicken, fried fish cake, and calamari. This is also very good as well and it's great to share some with friends over some cold drinks

    Found this gem and absolutely love it. The boys come here when they can. The food is always fresh, popcorn chicken obviously my favourite. The client service is fantastic. We love that we can call ahead and pick up the order hot !

    Everything tastes better when deep fried! We ordered a appetizer platter to share and love the deep fried squid. Lightly breaded with salt and pepper seasoning. I will skip the pineapple drink as it was really watered. It is ok to be light and refreshing but there was just tasteless. Extra star for open-mindedness of social media and quick in addressing issues. This is great customer service.

    So York Region finally has it's own Taiwanese Fried Chicken place. It seems like you can't walk 110 meters downtown with out walking pass one. We got a pretty good one!! Location: At Rutherford and Bathurst on the Richmond Hill Vaughan border. It's hidden in the plaza with TIm Hortons. Parking: the Suburbs so you know, lots and lots. Decor: It's a smaller place but there's still 7 or 8 two tops. You can push tables together if there's 4 or 6 of you. It's still new and had a wall of big windows that face south so it's nice and bright and shiny . It's mostly meant for take out i think it's nice for a take out place. Food: Taiwanese fried chicken place - so fried chicken. The flattened chicken breasts that you get with different seasonings, light and fluffy looking battered fried chicken, calamari, tofu, fries!. I've heard that the fried chicken sandwich is fantastic. i tried the New Orleans Chicken Sandwich, Fries, deep fried tofu and strawberry juice. The chicken was grilled! So there is a healthier option. It was thick and moist and juicy, not stringy and dry. woo. The sauce wasn't spicy. It was described to me as a bit sweet, but I didn't think so. The tofu was good. It wasn't super crispy more soft, but it is sauced (mmmm the sauce) but I think that was how it was supposed to be. The fries were the cooked but soft ones that I looooooove so much. The strawberry juice was the only thing i might not get again.It was just ok - a bit watered down tasting but someone there said the pineapple juice was really good! Staff: Really nice. they easily answered all my questions! I would definitely go back. the food came quick and tasted good and didn't cost a lot!

    New taiwanese fried chicken place! Visited on a Sunday and it was really quiet. Got a bit of everything to really try them out. What we ordered: Popcorn chicken combo Crispy tender combo Honey crispy chicken Volcano cheese chicken Deep fried corn Fried squid balls Fried tofu Strawberry drink Pineapple drink So the rice combos dont come with a drink. But u can make the crispy chicken a combo and itll come with fries (non substitutable) and a drink. However, both the strawberry and pineapple drinks tasted EXTREMELY watered down. Ure better off getting a can of pop. The rice in the rice combos were mushy and too wet. The broccoli and corn are cold. As for the crispy chickens, you can choose one of the 4 flavours (seaweed, hot chilli, salt and pepper and black pepper) on whichever chicken u chose. Read good reviews on the honey crispy chicken, so i gave it a try. The flavours were there, but it wasnt as juicy as people were saying and theres no honey flavour at all. The squid balls, fried corn and tofu were delicious. They had a promo going on for fried tofu but i wasnt made aware of it at all but i overheard the cashier mentioning it to other customers. Overall, there wasnt anything outstanding about this place whether its the service or the food. Dont think ill be visiting again.

    Happy New Year's everyone! 2021 has been a wild one and it's time to move forward to 2022 with my first post of this year! I've been to Taiwan a few years back and I've been craving taiwanese snacks, so when I discovered them. I was really blown away because it really hit the spot! A few items that I got were.... Crispy chicken burger - such a good burger! They use a brioche bun so it's extra fluffy and soft. As a for the chicken... it's so crispy and cooked perfectly. Taiker honey Crispy chicken (w/seaweed) - this was honestly my favourite snack! Again the chicken was perfectly cooked - crispy and juicy Taiwan is crispy tenders - if there's chicken tenders anywhere I need to get it! It did not disappoint Fried tofu - you don't even need sauce for this, it's so bye itself! Deep fried squid balls - usually squid balls are hard but this one's soft which is what I love about it. Way to go and keep it up

    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Richard Y.

    My absolute favourite place for Taiwanese popcorn chicken in the area. AiTaiker has always been consistently crispy, hot, and flavourful. The food always takes the same amount of time and I have never had to wait long. I've been here dozens of times and have found my two go-to items- the popcorn chicken and the crispy chicken sandwich. Popcorn chicken - what more can I say about it, it's simply the best I've been able to find in the area. I've found overall it to be seasoned heavily with salt + pepper but has the perfect crunch and optimal size. It's always made with dark meat so it is juicy every time. The honey option is also good, but one I wouldn't recommend for the reason that it isn't distributed evenly and also diminishes the *crunchiness* of the plain fried batter. Compared to Papa Chang's, this wins out by all metrics. The fried chicken sandwich - although nothing fancy or special has not upset me at all over the years. (comparing this to other fast food chains which offer chicken sandwiches like Popeyes and KFC). The batter is similar to what you would find at other chains (not the tapioca/sweet potato starch they use for their Taiwanese fried chicken) and the meat is always juicy. I have to note that it is quite basic but is done well.

    Fried squid tentacles - something I'd come back for!
    Vonny W.

    This place is within a plaza that has plenty of parking and easy to access overall. The store itself is small, but the decor is so cute and space is always clean when I visit. The cashier has been the same person the couple times I've visited and she's extremely friendly. I also appreciate her efforts on helping customers navigate through their menu! Polite as well. I've tried various menu items, including their Taiwanese popcorn chicken Bento, volcano cheese chicken, New Orleans chicken burger fries, pineapple juice, and fried squid tentacles. Out of these, the winners are definitely the volcano cheese chicken (which they let you know is a 20 min wait since they make it fresh and requires some time to cool down if you want to enjoy it in house) and the fried squid tentacles (which were so perfectly batters and seasoned, nice and light).

    Crispy chicken burger meal (11.99)
    Matthew H.

    Came by for a Sunday lunch after finding it as a new place in the area. Ordered: Crispy chicken burger meal (11.99) with fries & soft drink (+) Generous serving of chicken Fries were nicely done, not salty (-) The chicken was a bit dry and seemed mainly batter rather than chicken Other notes: - friend ordered volcano chicken and took much longer - not an issue but just to note if you plan to order that - credit accepted Decent value, but considering the main attraction is the chicken it leaves something to be desired.

    Volcano Cheese Chicken
    Veronica C.

    Heard my friends talking about this restaurant that they couldn't stop from going there. So I wanted to give it a try personally to see if it's really that good. Basically, this restaurant is famous of Taiwanese fried chicken. I ordered items #1 Taiker Honey Crispy Chicken and #4 Volcano Cheese Chicken. After I have chosen my preferences, I was still given an option for the seasoning, I chose salt for item no. 1 and seaweed for item #4. I went to the restaurant at about noon and so it fell on the lunch hour special from 12:00 to 3:00. There would be a can of pop that came with each order without additional charge. Chickens were cooked upon order. I was informed that it would take longer for them to prepare for the Volcano Cheese Chicken and so I waited patiently. The order came out fresh and hot. First bite led me to feel that I was dying in heaven. The batter was well seasoned with flavour. One could hardly stop from biting on it. Besides, the meat was soooo tender. It seems to me the the outer skin of the volcano cheese chicken was more dryer than the regular one and the aroma of cheese did standout when I ate the volcano cheese. The fried chickens from this restaurant were different from the ones in any other restaurant. Now I under why did my friends could not stop mentioning about the fried chickens here.

    If you enjoy Popeye's chicken sandwich, then you're going to LOVE Mary Brown's chicken sandwich…read more It's hands-down my favourite chicken sandwich right now. The chicken they use is perfectly cooked and moist and the batter is so light and crispy. They even put a pickle slice on the top of the bun like it's a crown (or more like a tiara). Speaking of the bun, MB also gets this right with their soft and cushiony bun that melts in your mouth with the succulent chicken. Honestly, this is one of the best burger buns ive had in a while! I bought a couple of their chicken sandwiches for $4.99 each as their Monday special. Another customer was mentioning how their special used to be $3.99. That's inflation for ya. I also tried their 2 piece combo with potato wedges (on a different day. I'm not a pig). The 2 piece was really tasty however not as mind blowing as their chicken sandwich IMO. Their wedges are actually amazing with their high amounts of powder seasoning. It's like the Doritos of wedges when it comes to more seasoning. The insides were potatoey which was a nice contrast when chewed with the crispy flavourful exterior. This is a fairly new location. I'm surprised no one reviewed them yet. They're located in the Longo's plaza, across the street from McDonalds.

    I ordered takeout from Pelicana Chicken for an early Thanksgiving celebration with my family, and…read morewe were pleasantly surprised by the packaging. Each container was of premium quality, but the standout was how well the fried chicken was packed. It was absolutely amazing! Here's what we got: Cheez Ball (6 pcs): A perfect appetizer. I tried them while they were still warm, and each piece of fried dough was filled with a savoury, gooey cheesy centre. These chewy goodness never got old, and I could have easily eaten the entire order myself. It was the perfect way to start the meal. Pelicana Fried Chicken Boneless Large (Half): These two-bite boneless chicken pieces had a thin, crispy, and well-seasoned batter. They were juicy inside, and each piece was perfectly cooked. I loved how every bite balanced texture and flavour. Pelicana Signature Chicken Boneless Large (Half): The other half of our order featured the same crispy chicken, but this time tossed in a sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy sauce. The sauce was generously applied, enhancing the already flavourful chicken. The balance of sauce, batter, and meat was spot on. Snow Fries: A great side to complement the chicken. The fries were crispy and topped with a sweet, cheesy powder. However, the seasoning wasn't evenly distributed, so the fries at the bottom didn't get much flavour. I ended up dipping them in the signature sauce, and it worked out perfectly. In terms of value, while the quality justified the price, I felt the portions could have been more generous. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would order again if I'm in the mood for a little splurge.

    Have been a customer of theirs since I discovered this restaurant a few months ago. I love that…read moretheir cheese Tteokbokki is not too spicy and flavorful. When eating in the service is fast and cordial, they also uber which is great. Good food, would recommend.
