    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!

    Staff was friendly and quickly brought us water and complimentary side dishes. You order from a tablet from the table and food was brought over pretty quickly. We aren't that hungry so only ordered the spicy boneless fried chicken. It was actually more sweet than spicy, but overall crispy skin, tender meat inside, quite addictive. There are some interesting handwritten posters on their wall, see my picture for an example.

    KFC is one of our favorites. It's super crispy with a variety of flavors. We chose the soy garlic and green onion. The soy garlic has always been our favorite due to its rich flavor. This time we tried the green onion flavor for the first time and it just served with a lot of green onions along with the original flavor. I don't think I'll try it again though. Also, it's quite expensive compared to other restaurants. Anyway, their chicken was still delicious and crispy even when we ordered takeout.

    Very crispy and delicious chicken. Had leftovers for days and served it with homemade curry. I was disappointed they didn't have ramen ttbokki.

    The fried chicken is decent but the bathroom area was incredibly off-putting, with the smell of sewage, and both live and dead bugs littering the bathroom. The lack of care for cleaning the bathroom makes me worry about what the kitchen could look like...

    Boneless Fried Chicken in Supreme Sauce
    Arnold L.

    I was very impressed with this location of The Fry for their service and food quality! I came with my friend after the Raptors Lakers game looking for a quick bite and we were very happy with the post game meal! The location was still busy for a Wednesday night and for good reason! They have the typical flavor options but we opted for the new Supreme Sauce and Cheeseling flavors. The Supreme Sauce plays more on the sweeter side which pairs well with the saltiness you get from Cheeseling Chicken. The boneless chicken was very crispy and juicy given the amount of sauce tossed with it. A great bite overall to enjoy with stew or with cheese corn!

    Great delivery box

    Purely COVID times delivery Order was fast, food arrived well packaged and the chicken remained crispy and hot without getting soggy. Definitely on the pricier side but you know that it's definitely real chicken with parts you can recognize!

    Savoury chicken, bone-in

    This place is nothing to look at inside, but the server was friendly and funny and helpful and cheerful and the food was hot and fast and good. It was a Saturday early evening and this place filled up fast with groups of nice young guys hungry for crispy/saucy chicken. Our small fries (which were massive) came out first. We had to try the cheese powder, and these were generously heaped with that slightly sweet Kraft Dinner tasting dust. Fries were good and hot. The server sailed in some freebies on the house - a corn covered hot plate soaking in bubbling sweet sauce, plus a plate with slaw and pickled daikon. The daikon was great palate cleanser between puffs of cheese powder. The corn was too sweet for my taste, but my table-mates gobbled it up no problem. Then came the main event. We went for a half & half chicken, half soy+garlic and half savoury. (Would have tried spicy, but we were with a teen who's not so keen on heat.) We liked the savory a lot more, which was more crispy, with its flavour sealed in, while the soy garlic was sweet and still saucy. The portion is huge. We were 3 hungry eaters and we still came home with 3 pieces. We opted for bone-in. I was pleased to see all the parts reveal themselves through the meal. I got the neck! Our teen had water while we sipped soju and a beer chaser. A great meal at the end of a big day downtown. BONUS: 10% off if you pay cash.

    Fried chicken in sauce
    Ashley C.

    I've been here two times for dinner and somehow managed to grab the last available table both times. It's a little dark inside. The service was subpar; there was only one waitress and she took awhile to seat us and she never offered to refill our water. It was also difficult to catch her attention to ask for a refill. There are complementary appetizers which include corn, pickled daikon and cabbage with some kind of mayo dressing that I wasn't a fan of. The corn was tasty, buttery and super hot. Our chicken took 20-30 mins to arrive both times. The first time, we ordered a combo with original fried chicken and chicken in special sauce. The original fried chicken was nothing spectacular. The chicken in sauce was delicious and each piece was coated in sauce. We also ordered garlic butter fries which were quite good. The second time, we ordered a combo with soy garlic chicken, chicken in sauce and fries. The fries were crispy but I preferred the garlic butter fries for the extra flavour. The soy garlic chicken lacked flavour and you could barely taste any garlic. Overall, I rate this place highly because I love the fried chicken in sauce and I would come back and order it for a third time and the portions are huge. Despite the chicken being expensive, the portions make the pricing seem reasonable. However, I would not order the original or the soy garlic chicken again because they were unremarkable.

    My friends and I ordered half and half chicken (regular and one coated in a sweet spicy-ish sauce), dukbukki, and garlic fries around 5ish on a weekday. We were given 4 side dishes: coleslaw, thinly sliced cabbage in some spicy mayo sauce(?), pickled radish, and cheese corn. The chicken was delicious. With a thick and crispy batter on the outside coating, the chicken was super tender and juicy on the inside. The chicken might seem cold because the restaurant itself is pretty chilly but it is fried to order. The dukbukki was the highlight of the meal. I thought it was delicious, had an abundance of fish and rice cake. However, it is definitely on the pricier end compared to other Korean restaurants' prices. I read in a previous review that their garlic fries were amazing so I was very excited to try them. The crispy fries were sprinkled with some garlic powder mixture on the top... and it was very VERY *SWEET*. This definitely caught me off by surprise. I did not enjoy these fries because I was expecting something more savoury such as some salty garlic-y fries so I am rounding down on this one. The Fry could definitely improve in their size portions. I also would have liked if they indicated on the menu if the fries were sweet. Service was good. They also had no problem splitting the bill for us.

    July 3, 2019 - After seeing Dean, Rad Museum, Tabber and Miso at The Phoenix, some friends I meet there wanted to have something to eat. We all decided on The Fry. One of the girls recommended Yogurt Soju. Wow that is yummy! We ordered Original Chicken 5/5 Cheese powder fries 5/5 Spicy Rice Cake with BBQ Chicken 5/5 Corn with Cheese 5/5 Sojus 5/5 Everything was very good and the staff was very nice.

    Small place but really fresh chicken. Very impressed with this location. Friendly staff. Not many seats but worth the wait. Get soy garlic and spicy sauce. No regrets.

Hence we entered Jin Dai Lae. Good decision (yes, I am patting my back). Entree pricing was $3 to $4 lower than Markham/Richmond Hill. Portion was so big that you would be full, and might have to doggy bag. Most importantly, food tasted good. Short ribs stew had many pieces of beef. Squids hot plate was saucy. It wasn't too spicy, so it was good for me (menu didn't have a chilli sign either). For people who like it hot, you can ask for some chilli sauce.

Their sushi is treated less as a tradition and more as a canvas. Thankfully, they built it off of a solid foundation - the rice is subtly sweet with a gentle acidity, carrying a faint chew that lines the exterior with the minimum amount required. To start, fried soft shell crab delivers a deeply crab-forward, umami-rich punch, its moderate crispness holding up inside the roll. Creamy ripe avocado smooths out the edges, while julienned cucumber, sweet pickled red onion, cilantro, tobiko and microgreens layer in texture and freshness. The standout, however, is the salsa verde - unexpected but effective - adding a herbaceous brightness that cuts through the richness and makes this roll feel genuinely distinctive. Visually impressive and texturally ambitious, this Lobster Grande leans into indulgence. Seared salmon crowns the top, perfumed with a gentle savoriness, while fried tortilla chips add crunch. A dollop of torched garlic mayo provides richness without overwhelming, adding depth to the deep-fried lobster meat within. Like a more luxurious counterpart to shrimp tempura, it's complemented with the typical kani, avocado, cucumber and cilantro, plus a whisper of truffle oil lingering in the background.
