Came across this restaurant while walking from Paradise before a concert and stumbled into this gem. We knew by the wall art that we found a cool spot. We ordered several mixed drinks and were not disappointed. They were strong but expertly balanced. My friend commented that his Margherita was the best cocktail he's had in years. We also ordered two of their chicken sandwiches which came out quickly. Perfectly fried crispy chicken with a good amount of heat. I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu. I'm a sucker for Korean Fried Chicken and this place definitely delivers!

Came here one weekday evening after seeing an Instagram ad about a collab between Hen Chicken Rice and Fiya. Staff is nice and friendly and the interior is pretty clean. Store filled up soon after we entered. I parked down the street but parking generally can be tough so take the T in if you're able. We sat down and placed our order via our phones. They were kind enough to give us daikon soup on the house as we awaited our order. Can't say too much about it though as I'm not a fan of daikon. My brother ordered a corn dog and we each ordered the crispy boneless chicken. The meal itself is pretty simple with just protein, grain, and a few slices of cucumber but it's filling. I love the sweet chili sauce it comes with and I'm very happy with the crispiness of the chicken. My only complaint is with the garlic rice -- grains felt a bit more stuck together than I would've liked and I'm not sure the taste was quite there. I may stop by and try other items on the menu if I was nearby but I wouldn't go out of my way for it at this point.

Korean fried chicken will always hold a special place in my stomach (and heart). There was this little spot back in California that I religiously visited several times a month just for their Korean fried whole spring chicken... and I've been seeking a replacement since moving here. I was walking towards my current favorite restaurant in Boston when I noticed this spot and decided to give it a try. Fiya Chicken has their flavors dialed in and their wings are pretty much on point. However, their breading is a little too much for my personal taste. Their wings were also heavily sauced - far more than I'd like as the taste becomes overwhelming after a few wings in. That said, I'm 100% sure that there are others who prefer their Korean fried chicken this way. If I visit again (instead of going to my fav spot literally across the street), I'd stick to their Taiwanese Basil Fried Chicken, which is absolutely lovely and on point; a little ironic when visiting a K-fried-spot.

Fried chicken and beer is the best combo! This restaurant just added a new draft beer menu and they're open late- perfect for the college students!! The restaurant rests on Comm Ave and is very cute inside with a good amount of seating. Service is counter order. For food, we ordered the Thai chicken sandwich, the heat-fried chicken bowl, and potato Korean corn dog. The sandwich was our favorite- the spicy chicken with Thai mayo was a delectable combination and even had good citrus to balance it out. The chicken rice was okay- the chicken was a bit hard & over-fried and the "heat" was just some powder. The corn dog was not assembled well and the breading kept sliding off. We also got the Thai iced green tea. it was very floral and different from what I've had. I don't think I would get it again If you're a Boston University student, this restaurant is right on your campus so check it out for a cheap, quick meal! Everything is very affordable and you can get dishes under $15.

Good chicken place! I've heard many good things about Fiya and was excited to finally check them out. Went on a Sunday evening and was able to get a table no problem. The inside was really cool and the music was amazing. The service was great and quick. I ordered the chicken sandwich combo with spicy Korean sauce and my friend got the wing combo. The portions are big. I think my picture is deceiving because that sandwich was huge with an even bigger serving of fries. It was also really hard to eat without pieces of the sandwich coming out so kind of messy. Even though the food was super tasty, I could barely finish it. I'd go again for a smaller option.

Great place. Fast service. Convenient parking (at least when I went). The chicken was flavorful and crispy. The fries were just okay (that is why I took a star off). I did not eat the food right away. I drove back to the hotel (about 20 min drive), maybe that is why the fries were not as fresh, by the chicken was still yummy and it's halal! I will recommend and go back when in the mood for chicken.

Since Bon Chon in Allston went downhill bad, I was looking for a good fried chicken spot. Fiya fit the bill and I decided to take out some Korean fried tenders. First off, the tenders are massive. You get alot of chicken for your buck. Plus they throw in pickled radish. I tried the spicy sauce, the soy garlic and the Fiya sauce. The spicy and soy garlic were awesome. They reminded me of the good Ole days of my favorite chicken joints. The Fiya sauce was a bit sour, tasting like it was maybe soaked in kimchi? I'm not sure. Not bad but not my favorite. They have a great selection of chicken. The chicken sandwich is thigh meat. The only white meat are the tenders. They also have bone-in chicken which I'll try next time. Overall; this is my new favorite Korean chicken place in the Boston area. Definitely worth a visit. Tip. I think they check vax cards to dine in. Great covid protocols. Clean place.

TO GET: - Chicken wings are to die for... they're huge and so juicy. - Taiwanese chicken is crispy, juicy, and have the salt pepper taste - Chicken sandwich is delicious! Bread is soft, chicken is tender, sauce is yum. - Korean corn dog is exactly as advertised. You'll get what you're expecting and it hits the spot - Nori fries... the hidden gem IMO. Surprisingly really good Items that were just okay: - Chicken tenders are a bit dry - Truffle fries are a bit strong (my friends love it though... so let your tastebuds be the judge of that) Service is friendly and quick. Indoor seating available :)

The definition of indulgence. Come here to lose 10 years off your life but I promise the cholesterol is worth it. The strawberry and mango lemonades alone would've made the trip to Boston worth it but the chicken was next level. We tried the Fiya and Soy garlic chicken wings and I was blown away by the crunchiness of the batter and the juiciness of the meat within. These are the two hallmarks of a perfect piece of fried chicken. The fiya flavoring was a little bit spicier than expected but the chicken is so delicious that you can't help but keep eating despite the tears and runny nose. The corn dog was succulent and the cheese was melty and chewy and just plain delicious. Heart burn never tasted so good!

Fiya chicken packs some fire! First of all, the chicken wings were a good decent size. Even with a small portion of ten wings, we had leftovers. The taste was out of this world good! We got half and half: soy garlic and the fiya spices. The soy garlic was as expected, very tasty. The fiya spice one packed the heat and was different than any spice mix we've had before. Every bite was flavorful. One of the best parts was: we had ordered takeout. Then we ran a few errands and afterwards came home for lunch. The wings were still crunchy! What magic is this?! If you do want them for lunch, you'd need to note that they open a little late on the weekends, around 1 pm. So plan accordingly. We ordered online and had to go to the counter to collect the order, it wasn't placed on a shelf. So now you have all that you need to know. Go ahead and place your order!

This place is a cool halal spot. There's a lot of parking space available outside. Also the inside is modern with plenty of seats. When you enter there's no need to go to the register, you can just scan the QR code and place your order. Of course there are waiters available who are more than willing to take your order if you choose to do so. I got the chicken sandwich and the Korean dog. The Korean dog was sweet almost like a donut coating on a hot dog. It was pleasantly good (5/5). The chicken sandwich was actually very disappointing, I got it with spicy Korean sauce. The chicken itself was stinky. Like the smell chicken has when it's been left out for too long. On top of that there was no spice. Very disappointing(1/5). All and all great place to try the corn dog :)

Fiya Chicken is delicious! The restaurant serves Korean street food, ie; Korean fried chicken and Korean corn dogs. The restaurant is located on 1024 Commonwealth Ave. For those familiar with the area, it is located across the street from Victoria Seafood. There is metered parking on both side of Commonwealth Ave, however, parking is very scarce as it is located on the Boston University stretch with many surrounding restaurants. It is T accessible if driving and finding parking is not your talent. When you enter the restaurant, on your right there are three table seating for dine-in patrons that seats about 4 per table. There is red neon lighting on the wall that reads "Tasty Noodz" which cast a pinkish glow (for those trying to get good lighting for their food pics!). There are stool seatings along the left side of the restaurant and the left side wall has a manga action novel theme going. There are additional bar stool seating and a booth seating area at the back of the restaurant. I came here with my family on a weekday night and the restaurant was at half capacity with a good amount of people waiting for their pick-up orders. There were some dine in patrons as well. You can order at the counter and if dining in, there are QR dining menus at each table which made for easy table ordering. For Korean fried chicken, I ordered the Fiya flavor and the soy garlic flavor. The Fiya was my favorite. It had a nice spicy kick while the soy garlic is a staple. I would rate Fiya in my top three restaurants for Korean fried chicken. It was that good! The batter on the chicken was just right and crispy and coated in delicious sauce. The chicken was juicy and good quality. I would put Fiya above competing Korean fried chicken places in the area such as Bonchon any day. The wait was only about 20 minutes or less which was not bad at all. This was my first time trying Korean corn dogs so I have nothing to compare it to. For my corn dog order, I ordered a regular corn dog, the ramen, and the potato. I had one made with half mozzarella and half dog. Most would say the potato batter is the way to go, but I prefer the regular batter. The ramen corn dog was my least favorite. It was kind of gimmicky and not that great. If you had to choose, I think go with the half mozzarella and half dog and do either the regular batter or the potato batter. Korean corn dogs, in my opinion, is a cross between a dessert and a hotdog on a stick. This is because the batter is coated in sugar so it is a tad sweet. The mozzarella cheese was as expected. I wish the hotdog itself was better quality. I am glad I tried Korean corn dog but I am not sure if I would order it again. I also ordered a fried chicken sandwich combo with Nori fries. The fried chicken was crispy, juicy and delicious. I picked the honey mustard dressing but wished I went with something else. The Nori fries were tasty and crispy. I also tried the in house made Mango lemonade. That was also delicious. Overall, Fiya is a solid 4 in terms of food and service. I recommend their fried chicken, fried chicken sandwich, and house-made lemonade. You may feel that the restaurant is geared toward the university crowd but I would say it also great for families as well so bring your little ones.

This may be a tough review because I have to stick to my core beliefs that first and foremost quality reigns supreme. Spending most of my life in the vicinity were chicken wings started and were a strong influence of their international recognition I feel I can fairly rate any wing. If you're strictly looking for value than you've come to the right spot because these wings are massive, you can almost use a knife and fork. The flavor was kind of middle of the road, in other words they play it safe no true umami or robust flavors here. The staff are friendly, no parking but needless to say they are well worth trying and have a deserved place amongst the rest. Cheers
