    I can't quite remember all the flavors we tried, but they were all super yummy. Really loved the rose tteokbokki, and the cheese corn was so solid too. Overall, The Fry is a yummy place for fried chicken!

    half soy garlic & half sweet chili bone-in chicken
    Alexus T.

    Came here for dinner last night and had a combo with half garlic soy/half sweet chili chicken, spicy rice cakes, and cheese corn. The chicken was great! I loved the saucy batch we had, but could have been just a bit crunchier. The cheese corn was very plain (no sugar or sweetness) and barely had a cheesy texture or taste once it was all mixed up. I've had much better cheese corn elsewhere. There was no wait on a Wednesday night, and I have no complaints on service.

    Why have I not heard of this spot. I usually go to my usual NENE CHICKEN, BBQ CHICKEN, along the Willowdale area in Toronto. My Son had recommended this spot for us and we were not disappointed. Portions, the flavours, and the price. (I didn't get a chance to take a photo of the cheese corn because my kids devoured it). The space wasn't anything too BIG but can accommodate a BIG if needed. If you needed any service and couldn't get the attention of the waitress/waiters, use the IPad they provide on every table. How convenient. Definitely coming back here, but this time, I want to try their spicy chicken.

    "Prices are fair for the quality of the chicken. Not the cheapest, but the taste and portion size make it worth it."

    I get the craving for Korean Fried Chicken once in a while and the feeling hit yesterday. We decided to check out The Fry as we've seen multiple locations across Toronto. We got Combo A which came with the Special Half and Half and an order of Fries. We also grabbed a Sapporo black that they had on tap. The first thing to arrive was the free sides! We got a dish of cabbage salad, pickled radish and bubbling hot sweet corn. All of this was for free and part of service. Our beer came next, quickly followed by the fries. I like that they bring out something for you nibble on as you wait for your freshly made fried chicken. Our half and half came in two large baskets of chicken (we chose spicy savory and garlic soy). The spicy savory chicken was generously coated in a sticky red sauce with the right amount of kick, while the garlic soy were dry wings with a sweet aftertaste. Really liked that the batter didn't get too soggy, even when covered in sauce. The chicken itself was great, as both the white and dark meats were juicy and tender. We had enough chicken to take home a full box afterwards! Not bad for around $60 for two people.

    Daily special - original fried chicken

    Location/Service This place is near the Yonge and Sheppard intersection (alongside Yonge, north of Sheppard). Green P Parking is available around the corner. Pretty easy to spot. At the time I went, indoor seating was not yet available, but it's a bit spacious inside. Can accommodate medium sized groups. Interior also pretty modern with warm and bright ambience. Service was good, staff was nice when I ordered over the phone for takeout. Food What I like about The Fry is their daily special. Each day is a different menu item and it only costs about $10-$12! I came on a Wednesday and had their standard Korean Fried Chicken. You can opt in a sauce for about $1, but this one is just plain original. Portion size is huge and can definitely fill 2 people! For the value it's awesome. The chicken pieces were big, with more focus on the meat rather than heavy thick fried batter. It's very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The original flavour has no sauce, so some may find it a little dry (but was okay for me). The Fry has been around for quite a few years and I'm glad they're still having consistent quality. Definitely perfect late night snack as they open till pretty late during this Covid period.

    Great chicken spot as usual. We usually do takeaway but decided to sit in. They did a whole Reno so it is bright but they dim the lights at night. They give you complimentary corn and sides. Get the soy garlic and the spicy sauce on the side. You won't regret it! Sweet potato fries are always a hit. The only gripe I have is that something is up with the lights. They kept flickering and it was really annoying. Not sure if it was bulb related or intentional. But very distracting. Overall still our go to chicken.

    Green onion chicken + cheese powdered fries
    Elaine O.

    Have heard of this place numerous times and finally got around to trying this from my list of Korean food spots to try, also nice that they are now open to dine inside. Honestly enjoyed the food and atmosphere very much. Ordered the boneless green onion chicken and cheese powder fries to share, both were so tasty and the large portion of chicken is more than enough to share between two people. Also ordered soju to complete the meal. Overall service and experience was great, would definitely come back to try out other flavours for their chicken as it was very filling and satisfying!

    Half chicken,  Soy chicken and Spicy flavor

    If you have never tried Korean Fried chicken before then you are in for a treat. Koreans know how to make good fried chicken. I don't know if it's the way the pieces are chopped up and fried or if it's the yummy sauce that it's coated with. All I know is that your mouth will be wanting more and more! The fry makes you all happy inside knowing your belly is full from eating the crispiest flavorful chicken ever! We always order the fry from Uber eats as I have a one year old son and it's kinda hard for us to eat out right! But Uber eats gets the job done! All of our cravings are answered and the service is 100! We always order the half and half chicken so we can taste two different flavors! I love the soy chicken and my family likes the spicy flavor. Both are delicious! Korean fried chicken is the bomb! The fry does it right!

    Butter Garlic Fries
    Kez R.

    Went here after a concert (Ateez!!!) because we had a craving for Korean food and we had heard about The Fry a couple of months ago. The food definitely didn't disappoint. We ordered the Butter Garlic Fries and they were heavenly. Had a hint of sweetness to it but it was balanced out pretty well with the saltiness from the garlic. We also ordered the Hot Cheesling Chicken, which was very cheesy but not very hot. I think it would have been a lot more tasty if it was spicy, but it was still pretty good. It was also a bit pricey but I guess that's kind of expected for Toronto XD! There was only one person working the counter, which was ok for the time we went at, but it probably wouldn't be good during a more busy time. The atmosphere inside was very nice and ambient, but the lights were super dim so it kind of felt dark as soon as we walked in. Overall though, a pretty good place for some late night korean munchies.

    Spicy boneless

    The best Korean fried chicken in the GTA!! The chicken is always fried to perfection whether you dine in or take out. The service is always kind as they provide free sides and appetizers when you dine in. We LOVE getting the half and half spicy and regular boneless!

    Not my first time, and not my last! I had taken a friend here to bask in friend chicken together. We ordered the (Size Small) Boneless Green Onion Chicken and Sweet Potato fries. Service wasn't the greatest, really felt as though the waitress didn't care about us which was quite upsetting... But the food! So overtime because there is such a large amount of fried chicken, it tends to dry out your mouth and taste bland. However, you can ask for the sauce on the side! The chicken itself is tender, I would just recommend you try one that has the savoury sauce!

    boneless half and half - soy garlic and savoury
    Abigail G.

    The fry continues to be one of my fave kfc spots. They offer 10% with cash. There's no parking for this location but there is green p parking around the corner. The location is small so can fill up fast when it's busy. When you dine in they give you sugary corn, cabbage and radish for sides. My favourites are the savoury boneless chicken, garlic butter fries and rose tteokbokki. The soy garlic is on the drier side. It can get expensive but I usually have leftovers that last me extra meals.

    Had a family visiting from OKC so ofc we had to take him here for his birthday! We often come with…read morea bigger group and order so much food; tonight's challenge was to order moderately but its so hard when everything, and we mean everything is just so good! Confirmed by our guest ;) As always, the team here are very attentive and polite, especially our waitress Selena. Seeing that its a Wednesday - OYSTER NIGHT BUCK A SHUCK!? had some malpeques with an assorted tray of their housemade sauces/vinaigrettes to dress! Ebi Mayo - this is one of the many staples and MUST TRYs at Nome! Jumbo tiger shrimp, lightly battered and tossed in a creamy sweet chili sauce - served with a shrimp cracker! Be sure you give that lemon a squirt before enjoying! Sashimi Salad - chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and you cant go wrong with some tasty assorted sashimi on top! I don't know what the dressing is but bury me in it please! Mmm! Samurai Crunch Salad - don't be fooled because it says salad. This bowl is topped with so many different crunchy stuff - crispy wonton, kettle cooked potatoes chips, fried shredded tiny bits of something so good I don't care what it is give me more, and a very nice creamy dressing (optional on the side). Its been awhile since we came by but they got a feature menu with some delicious items like Shoyu Butter Steak and Yuxu Hamachi! Thank you Nome, always a great time!

    It's been a while since I came here, it was way better pre-covid…read more We ordered a bunch of things- somehow EVERYTHING came out at the same time. The food left a lot to be desired and we all felt very bloated leaving the restaurant. * Double salmon roll - rice was kind of hard, fish was "dry" - you could tell that it was pre-made and perhaps been sitting, waiting for service * Crispy pork belly - greasy * Tiger shrimp - flavour was nice, but we felt the shrimp while cooked, wasn't coming to the table "freshly" cooked * Galbi - perhaps a personal preference, but we thought the cuts of beef were quite fatty. * NFC - dry and cold * Rainbow natto - probably the best item served? * Bulgogi tacos - these were smaller portions before and I think I prefer them smaller so that you can have more variety in what you're eating. Overally I found these extremely greasy and the ratio of beef to wrap was off, there was too much meat for the wrap. * Japa burgers - huge - you could eat one burger and be full. these were smaller (also cheaper) before. * Oysters - the "buck-a-shuck" oysters are EXTREMELY small, not worth it at all. Service was mid at best. We appreciated the bartenders offer to make some of the beverages non-alcoholic. I expected better for an early seating when there weren't many customers. Like I said, somehow all the food came out all at once, which really concerned me and made the eating experience quite difficult. That, coupled with the lack of attention throughout the meal, made for a sub-par dining experience.
