3.5/4 - My coworkers and I came here after work to enjoy some fried chicken. We ordered the creamy on, swuicy, soy garlic fried chicken and ddukbokki to share amongst the 4 of us. I found the chicken pieces to be hot, crunchy and juicy. While I enjoyed the swicy and soy garlic flavours, I was not a big fan of the creamy on. I thought it would taste like sour cream but I found it to be okay. I wouldn't order it again but for sure would get the soy garlic and try their spicier flavours. As for ddukbokki, I have never had it carrots before so this was a first. I did not like it nor hate it. Great location for groups! read more

Their downtown just released its night menu, and every dish is less than $8. I was surprised how big the portion was, given that price. They also have the newest SNOWING MAXX chicken flavor that comes with the basil sauce. It was cheesier than their other flavor, and the basil sauce paired it perfectly. Please take advantage of their night menu only at the downtown location after 8 PM. read more

My third time at NeNe Chicken and you just can't go wrong with their Korean style fried chicken. I tried their all new Snowing Maxx flavour. This one has a mild dusting of cheese and is sweet, salty and spicy all rolled in one. They give you the option of boneless or bone in. They also have an all new late night eats menu at the downtown location only. The Rosé tokbokki with fish cakes was my favourite from their new menu. The Rosé sauce was fantastic - creamy, spicy and full of flavour with the rice dumplings cooked so well. Id definitely return for this Also tried their Pork Belly Lettuce Wraps and Teriyaki Chicken Cartilage as a part of their late night eats menu - both were decent. We paired this with a pint Sapporo to wash it all down. There's always a long wait in the evenings but service is quick otherwise. read more

This is a good option for K.F.C. (Korean fried chicken) as my go to spot closed shop. I usually go for the hot bling option which is worth it for a slight upcharge. With a promo or two on some delivery apps this is even a valid proposition. Hot bling version packs a punch not overwhelming but good suggest the bone in version though. Give them a try if you are craving K.F.C. read more

NeNe Chicken - Snowing Chili - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I had the urge to try some Korean fried chicken so grabbed some Nene chicken and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was fantastic! It had a light crunch and was moist on the inside. The service was fantastic and they even threw in some cartilage due to my large order. The ambiance was fast casual and I would definitely return if I'm in town. In your mouth!! read more

Stopped by for lunch and got the lunch special of cheese chicken with rice. It was served on a sizzling plate, and the portion size was good for the price. Chicken itself was a tad dry but tasty, and the generous cheese and sauce covered up any shortcomings. Would have liked a bit more veggies, buy hey for that price, I get why. Overall service was fine and kitchen was quick. While I prefer other Korean chicken spots, this was fine and worth a try. read more

I love that this spot has seats! And the booths are also kind of caged-in in a way, so it gives a sense of privacy from the next booths. We came with a group of 7 and had a reservation- we were late but the restaurant only had two other people in it at the time so it was no issue (Saturday 4pm). It did get busier after we came in, but there was often someone coming in for takeout or pickup too. It was so humid outside and unfortunately their AC was broken- same with their ice machine so it was hella inconvenient on a hot humid day. We got 2 full size (two flavours each, total of 4 flavours). Snowing cheese, snowing chili, original and soy garlic. For apps, we got calamari and tteokbokki which was a good amount of spice but not fun on a hot day. Im not usually a fan of snowing cheese but this one mightve changed my mind. It couldve been that I had it fresh vs usually getting it for takeout at other KFC restaurants. Although there isn't a lot of flavours vs other KFC franchises, they have enough variety for it to be a great place for groups. The tteokbokki we saw online had cheese.... We only realized after that ours had none lol. The workers were all young though very accommodating to us, especially us being a large and rowdy group. Would come again! read more

Can't go wrong with some Soy Garlic Chicken & a side of onion rings! The chicken portions are huge for a medium size Service was pretty slow as there were only 1 server, the other was busy cleaning. We went in the evening around 5 & it wasn't super crowded. I can imagine how busy it is later in the night as there were not many tables. read more

The sign outside said Monday and Tuesday wings are 1 dollar with purchase of a drink. 1) I ordered Creamy Onion and Soy Garlic. 20 mins later, they tell me they don't have creamy onion. You couldn't tell me that earlier? 2) so I ordered Original and Soy Garlic. When the bill came, they charge me 1 dollar per wing for the Original and 1.25 per wing for the Soy Garlic. They tell me it's for the sauce. Where did it say that?? It didn't say that anywhere and she didn't say anything when I ordered. What kind of scam are you running here? Good chicken tho. Batter is fluffy. Still wouldn't come back again. read more

This is a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant. It is their second location in Toronto. The first location is more of a takeout location (there are a few seats indoor), but this location has adequate indoor seating and is more of a Korean bar-restaurant. "NeNe" means "Yes Yes" in Korean. You can choose chicken with bone or boneless (which is also halal). They have wings, drumsticks, and nuggets. The chicken was crispy and fresh. The chicken was juicier in the dishes with a sauce but was dryer in the dishes using a powder topping. I don't know whether it is due to being in a soft opening. I ordered the Hot Bling Chicken (8 pieces, $20.95), boneless. The coating was definitely spicy! The chicken inside was juicy and more tolerable in terms of spiciness. The customer service was good. The soft opening was on 2023-09-09, and the grand opening will be on 2023-09-22. There is a limited menu during the soft opening. Starting at the grand opening, there will be chicken burgers, a lunch chicken box, sides, and alcoholic drinks. This is a franchised business. There are over 1200 locations worldwide, with 1000 locations in Korea. There are 2 in Toronto and 2 in Vancouver. They are also in Australia and Japan. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is non wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-307 read more

Great fried chicken spot for all your chicken and beer needs! The vibe of this place is great, it had a very lively atmosphere despite it just being the soft opening. It didn't look like there were too many seats, so it was not too loud despite the lively atmosphere. The owner also came out to chat with some guests! The food is fantastic! Their Korean fried chicken is delicious and freshly fried! It's got a perfect light crispy crunch but doesn't feel oily. The tteokbokki has lots of cheese--which makes a great dipping sauce for fried chicken! Would recommending adding this to your fried chicken order for that reason alone haha! It's not too spicy so most people can enjoy it too. The owner gave us a non-menu item to try: mala chicken cartilage. It was delicious! We recommended they should definitely put it on the menu or offer it to guests, not sure if they've added as I went many months ago now. Looking forward to coming back again! read more

We ordered 1/2 bone in and 1/2 boneless. We got the Honey Sesame bone in which was amazing, the boneless was swicy which my party didn't like too much. If I could go back I would get the green onion instead of swicy. The edamame and fries were delicious as well Service was very fast read more

I was hoping to order their Lunch Special but the staff said they're not offering this yet so ended up getting their Original Boneless Chicken Medium size and it was just pretty average, nothing special. I find their chicken somewhat dry and not as crunchy as bbq Chicken's Golden Fried. Nene's KFC is also smaller and lacked a bit of flavour compared to other Korean Fried Chicken we've tried. Staff were nice and friendly though and even offered as lemon water while waiting for our takeout order which took twenty mins. Overall, pricey and overrated and would rather go to other KFC places that taste way much better. read more

Love this chain! Conveniently located downstairs on Chestnut Street off of Dundas West. They fry your Chicken to order and each person gets a refreshing side of pickled radish. They have a variety of flavours, we got the snowing chilli, which was quite spicy! We got bone in because it's juicier! But bone in and boneless both get the same number of pieces. The fried chicken texture is similar to popeyes, very crunchy. The prices are great for the amount you get! A medium order is perfect for 2-3 people. The only thing is I wish they gave us wet napkins or gloves to wear like at other locations because it was messy! Amex accepted even though the machine says otherwise The server got our order wrong twice... Definitely coming again but the servers need to be more organized! read more

All the dishes were tasty and fresh; the chicken was perfectly crispy and had a fair amount of snow cheese, and the rest of the dishes were very flavourful too. Staff are friendly and attentive. The ambiance is casual, good for grabbing a bite to eat with friends. read more

Sweet and spicy chicken strikes the perfect balance between comforting sweetness and a bold, fiery kick. Tender, juicy pieces are tossed in a glossy sauce crafted from honey and brown sugar, then elevated with fresh chili flakes, garlic, and a splash of soy. Each bite offers a harmonious contrast: the initial warmth of sweetness gives way to a lingering, mouth-tingling heat that awakens your palate. Garnished with scallions and sesame seeds for crunch, its unique flavor profile is addictive--I highly recommend trying it! read more

I got takeout from Nene Chicken via DoorDash (surprisingly, it was slightly cheaper on DoorDash). I ordered the Family Meal bone-in (16 pieces) and got half original and half "swicy" flavor. The original has a dry coating, and the swicy is a sweet and spicy flavor (not very spicy though). This is also a pretty large portion! Overall, the chicken is well-seasoned, juicy, and cooked well. The swicy is a bit on the sweeter side, but my preference is for the original. I would say that the chicken has a lot of skin (some people may like this), but I found it to be a bit much. Also, you can kind of "taste" the oil here--I'm not really sure how to describe this. Overall, it's a decent fried chicken place, although I do prefer other chains more (like BBQ Chicken). read more

NeNe Chicken - Family meal - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have high expectations whenever it comes to Korean or Thai food, because I lived in Seoul and Bangkok. I tired the (beef) bulgogi first. Wow, so delicious. The beef is sliced thin and a little crispy. It's mixed with sliced lettuce, carrots and green onion. Some of the best bulgogi I've had anywhere. The chicken was equally impressive. Light and crispy. Not too spicy, for my taste - but I guess next time I could ask for extra spicy. The wasabi tacos were different. I have previously only had wasabi with sushi or sashimi. Interesting. If I had ordered a beer it would be great. I had to order take out so I could share with my wife, who is Korean. We've been disappointed with other Korean fried chicken places, but not this one!:) read more

I made my visit during grand opening day when they offered free chicken to the first 50 customers, VIP card for first 25, coupons, and a spin the wheel. When I visited the line wasn't relatively long, but they were probably having first day jitters as when opening began, the line barely moved for quite a while. It seemed the free chicken boxes weren't ready, and all the first visitors were trying to dine in. By the time I received my free chicken, it was already cold, but I'm not complaining, it was free, and I now see from the menu that the chicken is quite expensive. Even though it was cold, I really enjoyed it. The skin was very crispy, and although it was plain original flavour, it was flavourful without feeling salty, like many other places. The staff were helpful and cheerful, able to answer my friend's questions about their promotions. There's different types of seating, with a mix of tables and booths. It was very loud when I got inside from the different guests. I could barely hear the music. I've been interested in making another visit, especially with my coupons, but the price seems steep. Will review again once I get to go! read more

My colleague and I came here for lunch the other day and absolutely loved it. I had the lunch special chicken legs with snowing cheese flavour. It was SO crispy and not greasy at all. I love the flavour on the chicken and the rice too. I wish there were a bit more vegetables, but that's okay. The portions were huge, and I had a snack for later. Wonderful service and really cool seating with the little huts. I'm glad we stumbled on this place, b/c I have been talking about it for the last two days and can't wait to go back! read more

The food was excellent and it tasted when from the fryer in the kitchen within minutes. The service was good and attentive. The ambiance could improve where the seating could be more spacious since it is quite not comfortable for a single person who maybe overweight. read more
