“ The food was so delicious and the service was amazing as well!! Chicken was really juicy and crispy I love it! Definitely will visit again ”
“ It was my first visit to this restaurant, and I was truly impressed by the experience. We decided to try some of the boneless chicken options on the menu, and I have to say, every dish exceeded my expectations. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the chicken was cooked to perfection—tender and juicy. I enjoyed every bite! Honestly, I’ve found my new go-to spot for chicken! I can’t wait to come back. ”
“ This Korean fried chicken spot is incredibly delicious. We ordered boneless cheeseling, soy honey and green onion, plus spicy rice cake. All the fried chicken was made fresh and extremely juicy while also remaining crispy doused in its sauce. I highly recommend the cheeseling, really great flavour of sweet and cheesy. Julie, our server was friendly, kind and provided wonderful customer service, wonderful to speak with and always smiling. We will definitely return to try more Korean fried chicken! ”
“ For a really good price, you can get a large portion of food! It's really delicious and I strongly reccomend the original boneless! Their corn with cheese is also top notch and the fries (I forgot what the seasoning was called) were amazing as well! There's street parking and we late in the night and there were students everywhere so it felt very safe to walk there as well. Very nice lighting and very kind staff. The wait time for the food was also good and quick! Strongly reccomend coming here! ”
“ Really great experience. Ambience is cozy and dim with plants. We ordered cheesling bone in chicken and corn cheese which was somehow included with our order. The chicken was juicy and deliciously sweet and powdery and is a perfect portion for two people (also bone in chicken is halal). Corn cheese was creamy rather than like melty but the flavour was really rich and comforting. Came with a good mu and lettuce salad and we were even offered top ups on these! Service was friendly and warm :) This is my favourite k chicken in Kitchener Waterloo! Can’t wait to come back. Prices are also super reasonable. For all of the above I paid about 13 bucks excluding tips (split with my friend). ”
“ One of the best places to get Korean fried chicken in the Waterloo region. The chicken is crispy, juicy and full of flavour. I recommend the hot soy garlic flavour. I would also highly recommend the cheese balls. ”
“ Best deep-fried chicken in town! By far has bang for your buck food! If you are looking to spend quality chicken for your money this is the place. Ordered to go as well for our family parties and everybody kept on asking where I bought the chicken. ”
“ 1.Always good.. asked for sauce on the side due to distance but got extra sauce. BUT still yum. 2. Try extra cripsy... it is neat.. 3. 20241129 - ordered extra crispy and picked it up. Drove about 10mins from the store, and the chicken was a bit soggy. Quite a bit disappointed.. I hope it gets better next time... 4. Ordered via uber. Took about 30mins. Tastes great. 2025.03.22. Ordered via ubereats. Tastes great as usual. 2025.03.30 Ordered ubereats from Cambridge which took around an hour for delivery. Unfortunately, I received the wrong order so I called Top chicken, and they said they will offer a free half chicken next time to correct this. From this experience, I felt that they not only make great chicken, but also value their customers. 2025.04.17 Extra cripsy and juicy today. But the sauce had less garlic flavour than usual. It was still good but tasted...2% less than usual. 2025.05.18 Hm... quite a bit disappointing. The chicken was well cooked and crispy, but the original flavor was saltier than usual and also swicy. The swicy sauce wasn’t as sweet as usual and tasted a bit spicier. Hm... I might not order again for a while ”
