    Place was clean, welcoming. Service was prompt, place wasn't full when we got there. Everything was served hot and fresh. We particularly loved the one with onion sauce. Fries were also good. The flavor we would like to try was already sold out, wouldn't mind coming back to tey other things in the menu.

    My go to Korean fried chicken place. Really tasty fried chicken. So crispy outside yet tender inside. We ordered the half and half one with Korean sweet and spicy sauce and soy sauce with garlic. I preferred the sweet and spicy sauce one. And they provided pickled radish which tasted so fresh with the fried chicken. The mayo cheese corn tasted a bit too sweet but still good.

    Friendly staff, great prices. Need I say more? My only warning about the food is that the medium and spicy levels are still spicy! Best appy to get is corn cheese and kimchi fries. $20 Sapporo pitchers. Great for a night out however parking is always hard to find if you come around dinner time.

    If you are looking for genuine taste of Korean fried chicken, look NO FURTHER 👀 I’ve tried NUMEROUS chicken places in Toronto but this honestly hits different. New menu called prinkle which was cheesy weezy creamy weamy is a MUST TRY! Their side dishes which go super well with sojus and other in house cocktails are also very authentic!!!!

    Been here couple of times, my favorite is the hot soy garlic! They half price wings every Tuesdays! We got rice balls and wings and it was under $20 per person with tax and tip!

    Really good chicken and food! It can get pretty spicy so be careful 🥵 The table across from us also had two people yelling at their friend so that was entertaining with our dinner.

    How was the food? Since I was already kind of full when I came into the shop, I didn’t order much, and we did take out. However, this is one of the few shops which I have to say, their chicken’s white meat tasted very. I am not sure if it was a fluke of luck or what, the quality is probably one of the nicest Korean fried chicken place. However, I don’t want to say that too easily, so I will come back to try more items on the menu before and provide a better rating at the time. For now this is a high 4 stat rating for me just off the 2 items I tried for take out. How was the service? The service is good, I think they accept all payment types. But make sure you pay cash, you’ll get a little something back if you pay cash ;) Would I recommend? Yes, definitely worth a try, and since by observation this place is always packed. I’d say they are probably pretty darn good for the rest of the items. Tuesday is half price day so visit then if you want cheaper chickens.

    Just amazing food and excellent service. Make sure you arrive hungry as this place will leave you struggling with what to eat as everything is extremely delicious. The orders of Koren Fried Chicken we're all crispy on the outside and perfectly moist on the inside. The Kimchi fries are as good as they look as Sonia everything else at that. No reservations needed, however timing is critical as this place is busy and popular

    One of the best Korean places - so flavourful and always hits the spot. Top picks: bulgogi fries, kimchi fries with spicy pork, cheese corn, spicy rice cakes, padak fried chicken, soy garlic fried chicken, cheese paw fried chicken and mild yang nyum chicken

    This place was great as usual. Great place for late night eats. Food was delicious. You can't go wrong with this place. However, it was pricey so be prepared to spend a lot.

    I ordered chicken here before the pandemic and it was really yummy with reasonable portion. It has been a while since the last time I ordered so today I decided to give it a try. But I feel so disappointed when I received the order. I ordered half and half chicken ( Yang Nyeom and Prinkle). Prinkle is their new flavour so my friend and I were so excited to try. Then that’s what I got, only a box of Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken? We also ordered corn cheese but is it supposed to be watery? The corn cheese is literally corn with “cheese water”. $9.99 for that is really ridiculous. I understand “the increase of food cost” part but the quality like so is unacceptable. The rice cake was good but it can’t help anything. I just feel that I’m so stupid when ordering food here 🙂 My bad!

    Went randomly on a Friday night. Ordered the fried chicken, kimchi fries and corn with cheese. Portions are pretty big, great for groups. The kimchi fries were REALLY good. The fried chicken was decent.

    Worth Trying. Classic Korean joint with fried chicken, beer and grilled spicy chicken. Grilled spicy chicken is just okay, decent quantity, good amount of cheese, kinda spicy. It just lacks that stir fried taste, or umami that better places do. The Rice Balls are a fun item if you haven't had them before. You make your own rice balls, gloves provided. Quantity kinda small considering $10 for basically just rice. Cheap on the seaweed, tuna and mayo.

    The chick wings were big and crispy, spicy rice cake with just the right amount of kick, and the takoyaki was delicious. The padak was too sweet. Staff was friendly and checked in regularly if we needed anything.

    Definitely tender chicken inside, but could be more crispy outside.

    To start with positives, the service was absolutely fantastic. The staff are wonderful, super hardworking and attentive, and very kind. Flavours: the food tasted fantastic, the flavours are great and you can tell the food is very fresh. The takoyaki was also delicious and i really enjoyed it. Negatives: we ordered the soy garlic chicken in the regular size. It says it should include 10-12 pieces. There were only 10 pieces (no problem!), but out of the 10 pieces, 2 of them were fully bone with no meat on it whatsoever. With the price being higher than another really I really enjoy going to, and with only 8 pieces total, it is very pricey and this was a disappointing experience for me.

    This place is my go-to place for korean fried chicken. There are a variety of flavours and most of them taste good. The prices are reasonable, especially they have half prices wings on Tuesdays.

    Always a great place if you're craving Korean Fried Chicken. Their dosiraks are always great too. Staff are super friendly and the owner is really accomodating, even allowing us to pop our own bottle of alcohol because of a birthday occasion. Thanks Dakgogi!

    I love LOVE great fried chicken and go absolutely insane for wings. I frequent St Louis across the street, but was always curious here. So this week I went, and I can't stop thinking about the spot. It's 10/10 would recommend. I had the wings promotion and they are exactly what you want when you feel for some good ol' wing night. I cannot wait to return.

  • 5/5 Khang T. 10 months ago on Google
    Went with a group of 11 and ordered 3 half chickens (I don't rmr which ones specifically), bulgogi fries, egg soup, and their tteokbokki. The bill ended up being around 30 per person which isn't bad at all, it was a good amount of food and we couldn't finish it all. 🫠 Staff was very nice and we ended staying a little bit past their closing times (sorry) and overall we all enjoyed ourselves ✨✨✨

  • 4/5 Ricardo C. 11 months ago on Google
    Ordered half and half boneless. Sweet sauce and onion. Very good. Kim chi fries was decent. Would skip this one and try something else.

  • 5/5 Subhash R. 9 months ago on Google
    Our Friday night takeout place every other week. Best fried chicken in a neighbourhood full of very good fried chicken places. Love the loyalty bonus (you get a full chicken free after every 10 takeout/delivery orders). Nice patio out back, the restaurant space itself has a great vibe, and the staff are pretty friendly too (maybe we’re just regulars at this point lol). Must recommend the spicy soy garlic chicken, the creamy onion chicken, and the spicy pork kimchi fries.

  • 5/5 Vivian J. 2 years ago on Google
    I just love this restaurant soo much! Food is soo tasty and patio is not busy cause most people do take-out. Great music and great vibe. Patio has lots of shade. You can enjoy your food properly. Fried chicken is awesome. Half potion will be good for 3 people 9/10. Love the onion and sauce Stir fried soondae is tasty and half little spicy kick 8/10 Combo fried comes with shrimps, soondae, calamari, dumplings, noodle seaweed 100% recommended and will definitely come back

    First time here and it was so so good.. My bf and I ordered half boneless cheese chicken and boneless green onion chicken also a side of bulgogi fries, the chicken was extremely juicy and well seasoned and the bulgogi fries were so delicious.. we were genuinely stunned. A lot more pricier than other places but definitely worth it! 😍

  • 5/5 Christina Q. 2 years ago on Google
    My new go to spot for korean fried chicken in the area. We ordered half yangyum half padak chicken, it was so juicy and tender! The rice cakes and kimchi fries are also great apps to accompany. Service is friendly and quick, will return

  • 5/5 Suki L. 1 year ago on Google
    My go to Korean fried chicken spot when dining-in at the patio. Been here on a date night and as a company dinner with 6 people. The staff loved their cocktail choices (strawberry ade, so milky and vodka cocktails). Been there twice and got the half & half chicken, corn cheese and spicy pork fries, great both times. Definitely busier on a weekend and more casual during the weekdays, both times were there after 10pm. Service is wonderful and friendly. The owner/manager is so friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 nick k. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good place chicken is so dam good here. This is a good place if you like portions of food. Even ordering two plates gives a ton of food for friends. I finished my food and some other friends i eat with take the left overs home. I would come again

  • 5/5 Hayam_b 2 years ago on Google
    It was my first time here and I loved it! Everything we ordered was delicious, keep in mind the spicy rice cake IS spicy LOL. The chicken was delicious as well! And the servers were sooooo nice and kind!

  • 4/5 Scarlett L. 1 year ago on Google
    I've dined in at this Dakgogi location twice and ordered from Uber Eats once. The first time that I dined in, I ordered the honey garlic chicken wings, sweet potato fries and fried chicken skin. They all tasted alright, nothing really special. The second time I dined in, I ordered the yang nyeom boneless half chicken, which tasted good but not as good as yang nyeom that has bones included. I ordered yang nyeom with bones from Uber Eats and it was fantastic. It's really spicy but very delicious. I like that they include wing tips, since most restaurants discard tips from wings.

    Their fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in Toronto. The fish cake soup is also really tasty, it is very peppery though, so may not be for those who dislike spice or pepper. Staff is very nice, though it is a little hard to communicate as both parties are wearing masks, and the music in the restaurant is pretty loud. A great place to gather with friends and my first choice for Korean fried chicken in the area.

  • 5/5 Dave C. 2 years ago on Google
    I was really impressed with this place. The fried chicken was delicious and crispy. The spicy rice cake soup was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. 1L mugs of Sapporo beer. You can't go wrong with this place. Staff were super friendly too!
