This is for delivery Since we were ordering on a busy night, the soy garlic chicken (20.99 for small) took a while to be delivered, so it wasn’t as crispy and was warm on arrival. In my heart I knew giving it seven minutes in the toaster oven would really help, but we were really looking forward to the greasy eats so tucked in anyways. While I do enjoy my fried bird plain, the lightness of the sweet soy blended with garlic was delicious and really helped give the chicken flavour without adding a heavy glaze. In general, Korean fried chicken is lighter to begin with. The batter is just a coating of flour, so it doesn’t soak up as much oil and isn’t as greasy. The Fry cuts up the half bird into smaller pieces so you can pick and choose the cuts to your preference. For me, I like to pick at the bones, which is complimented by my husband who enjoys big nuggets of boneless white meat. I knew I met my perfect match: he leaves the flavourful pieces for me and is opened to indulging in fried chicken late at night. Little did we know the chicken arrives as a “combo” with a can of Coke and a container of lightly pickled sweet daikon, which really helps cut through the grease. That light acidity and freshness helped to balance off the side of fries (5.99 for small), which was surprisingly hotter and crispier than the chicken. Despite being a “small” order, there was a lot of fries and the spuds were also coated with flour to give it that extra crunch – sort of like the ones you’d find at Taco Bell and Costco, excepted jazzed up with a light dusting of green onions. I loved that The Fry uses paper-based containers for delivery. And if you want a fully plastic-free experience, skip the pickled turnip (with the fried chicken) and the ketchup (with the fries) in your order.

My go-to place for some Korean fried chicken. They never disappoint. Great flavor and juicy fried chicken. With a variety of delicious side dishes like the garlic butter fries and the corn with cheese. They also offer some daily specials with good prices. It's better to call ahead and make the order if you are getting take out, because their default wait time is 25 minutes, but its is definitely a good place to get some good quality fried chicken.
The portions were generous. However the chicken did not taste all that amazing. Not really restaurant quality fried chicken. Was a tad dry and under seasoned/flavored. To top that off the lady working the front kept rubbing her nose and wearing her mask beneath her nose. And then proceeded to touch EVERYTHING including the boxes of food for customers, the payment machine, EVERYTHING!
I love the Fry especially now that they have a patio!! They were very thorough, checking everyone’s temperature before seating them. I had great service!! I’m happy to report the onion rings were the best in town. Also sampled the grapefruit AND pomegranate soju and preferred the grapefruit. The spicy rice cakes were delish! Everyone seemed to be ordering this corn and cheese fried thing...FYI.
Chicken portion is inconsistent (significantly less on the weekends). The taste is fine but customer service is poor. Will order through delivery for future orders.
