This place is amazing. Portions we massive and the fried chicken did not disappoint. Also, the corn n cheese was surprisingly good and was quite a nice way to end the meal. Would recommend it to anyone and they are halal for anyone wondering.

I had a frustrating experience at Dakgogi. I called in my order for pick up at 7 pm and asked for it to be ready by 7:30 pm since I was 20 minutes away. However, when I arrived at 7:40 pm, my food wasn't ready, and I had to wait an additional 20 minutes. When I finally got my order and took it home, I realized they had given me the wrong food. I called the store to explain the mistake, and the lady who answered was defensive and arrogant. She refused to acknowledge the mistake at first and insisted that she knew the chicken's appearance better than me, claiming to have worked there for two years. Regardless of appearance, it was clear the taste did not match what I had ordered. Instead of Hot Soy Garlic, I received Crispy Chicken. What bothered me the most was her audacity to suggest that I write a Google review, as if she didn't care about customer satisfaction. To make matters worse, I saw another couple walking out in frustration because they had been waiting for their food even before I arrived at the store. This experience left a lot to be desired, and I hope the restaurant can improve its customer service and accuracy in fulfilling orders.

I was really excited to enjoy this restaurant based on the review from Melshangrytable . I have to admit that the presentation was so well done plus I called them to make sure that they gave me a bone chicken instead of a boneless once and the lady (customer rep) respected it, however the disaster came : SALT! Oh it was impossible to eat the chicken. The coat plus the inside chicken were so salty , we couldn’t even ate half, real DISAPPOINTMENT. I hope the chef/manager can read my review tonight and make sure to correct that situation otherwise, they will really lose a lot of customers, including me. I gave them 3 stars because of the presentation (check the image) and the fact that they respect my order( thanks once again to the customer rep).

Absolutely the worst Korean fried chicken and Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) I’ve ever had. The Tteokbokki is a lukewarm watery mess. It’s more soup than sauce and so watery nothing sticks to the rice cakes. There were huge chunks of raw cabbage. The chicken was soggy and had so much sauce, you could toss another whole chicken. There were lots of fried bits of tiny bones without any chicken at all. The sauce sometimes had a really strong taste of powered chicken stock almost like someone added extra to the finished sauce but didn’t stir it in all the way. We had this in person a while back and it was the same soupy soggy mess, but we thought maybe they were having an off day. But turns out it’s just consistently garbage.

Sweet crispy spicy chicken👍. my best korean style fried chicken in Ottawa. I had the half box, and the size is very good.

We enjoyed the chef's hairspray flavour in our toppokki. Also the toppokki was very sweet and undercooked. Very bad service. Took forever to take order and delivering the food. The restaurant was packed so I had very high hopes for the place. It's our last night in Ottawa and we just want some Korean food. What a waste of money.

Very good flavor, chicken very crispy. 😍 i'll often to come here when i want eat korean chicken !!!

How is the food? the food was pretty okay, I liked the crispy chicken because other types of chicken had too much sauce on them, and the crispy chicken is not too oily which is a good thing. However, we ordered the basket with bones and still got quite a-lot of boneless pieces which I guess it’s okay, but the boneless pieces are usually white meat and their white meat is a little dry. How is the service? the service is alright, they forgot our side dish, but once we asked them about it they quickly brought them out to us. So if you don’t get your side dishes and you want them, make sure you ask, otherwise I am pretty sure they would have just not given to us any. Also, the servers English is not so great, so be patient when you speak to them. Would I recommend? If you enjoy fried chicken, and around the area then yes.

I came very usual, every 2 weeks. The recent time I came, the chicken was a bit dry but it was the first time I've met, so it gonna be all right. The soup was amazing. I loved it.

I'm an Uber driver and they made me wait an extended period of time for my order and it made me late delivering the food. I barely said a few words to them to keep things normal and simple. I'm not one to have a conflict, I'm a calm person and they thumbs me down on my uber rating for no reason at all, I was stunned to see it... This to me is a sign of unprofessional conduct on behalf of the owners. Thank you for rude and unprofessional service.

Portions are good, we ordered the boneless chicken in soy sauce. Was a bit dry though, not enough sauce. Portions are generous , $20 chicken can feed two people. French fries are super good too, very crispy (cant think of how much calories We've ingested last night...) But at 9$, a bit pricey. The place is a bit small, and tables are too close to each other , and music choice could be a bit more varied (rap rap rap all the time we were there) plus the waitress was not super, she would do the bare minimum, and check her cellphone at the cash without inquiring if we were good or needed anything ... For that reason i just give it 3stars.

Their lunch special is a great deal with 6 pieces of chicken and sides. The chicken was crispy. The garlic fries were a little sweet and garlicky. Friendly staff. Their counter top at the window needed wiping down as it was a little sticky, but overall a good place to go if you're craving fried chicken

Great chicken and their sauces are super flavourful. The garlic fries and are sweet which caught me off guard but they’re so good and crispy. Definitely somewhere you want to stay and eat with takeout the food doesn’t really travel well.

I’ll cut to the chase: this place is so dirty. The washroom smelled so bad that the reek reached the dinning room. In all honestly, I don’t even know why we stayed and ate there. The food was not bad but it was greatly overshadowed by the appalling conditions (dirty floors, walls, washroom, doors, windows, glasses, jars) and the smell. I guess if you are craving Korean fried chicken you might enjoy the food (even more if you do take out), otherwise I don’t recommend this place at all. I do hope that they take these reviews seriously and do something about the conditions of the restaurant!

Food was alright. I was expecting to go to golden triangle fried chicken but it seemed like it changed to dakogi. Portions are good, but I don't think the taste is all the way there. I think it's slowly getting more mediocre as the name changes.

The chicken is cold and has indian ingredients taste. The mussels is completely disintegrate that almost nothing left inside the shell cant eat at all. There is cockroach in the place as well

I ordered the boneless garlic soy fried chicken and it was the worst I ever had. It was soggy and the taste was not great either.

This was probably the worst meal I’ve had at a Korean restaurant. We have been to a few dakgogi restaurants in Toronto that taste amazing. We love to go there so when we came to Ottawa to visit and saw there was a dakgogi near where we were staying we ordered two full chickens, fries and corn cheese. The chicken was just not the same. The sauce tasted different? And the chicken seemed stale. The Mayo Corn cheese was disgusting. Tasted like oil and old cheese. None of us could eat it. Honestly not worth to go back there ever again.

Their rice cakes and chickens are bombastically delicious!! Though the price is a bit expensive for such small portion. 100% recommend!

I have been going to this place since 2018. Before they had a different name but with the new name I thought to leave another review. Food here is 8/8 People who work here are extremely friendly and quick. If you like fried chicken like I do this is the place.

Food was delicious and satisfying. They definitely know how to fry. Restaurant has good traffic with the number of takeout plus dine in orders. Food came in under 20 mins. Server was friendly but a little slow: seated us slowly, forgot our table settings, forgot to bring us water, didn't ask if wanted anything to drink...

I tried the chicken wings with sauce on my visit, I didn’t like it with the sauce; I felt it’s too salty. However, I had crispy chicken wings before and that was delicious. So if you are going there ask the server for recommendations. I liked that place so I am planning to visit again and will try different items, then I can share my experience as well.

I love the food here. Their corn cheese is to die for! Amazing fried chicken. Fantastic customer service, the staff is extremely friendly and the wait time for the food is great! This is a must if you are in the area. Highly recommended!

Came to The Fry Elgin for a quick lunch a little while ago, and decided on their garlic soy chicken set. First thing I noticed was the portion size, which was on the small side. The amount of fries it came with was honestly, rather sad. While the flavours were not bad, it wasn't quite what I was expecting. The chicken was piping hot, but the sauce resembled more of a honey soy instead of garlic soy. The lady at the front was the only cashier and server in the restaurant, but provided basically no service. I wasn't even offered a glass of water with my meal. Needless to say, would not return.

BEWARE of lunch "special". They charged us extra for spicy chicken, sweet potato fries, and garlic fries even though the menu made no indication that those cost extra. The bar by the window was so extremely dirty and sticky. There were little bits of paper wrappers and glitter stuck to it. They also forgot our drinks until halfway though our meal when we finally flagged down the waitress. Food is tasty, but maybe stick to takeout.

I really want to like this place but as a few other reviewers have noted, I suspect the chicken is often undercooked. When you first get the food it smells really nice of the different sauces/seasonings and that’s great. However, after a couple of bites into the meat you notice it has a raw smell, look and texture. Please take the time to properly FRY the chicken. Not only is it a health hazard, it tastes nasty.

I would come here once every three months . I like more souls food style fried chicken . There chicken is crispy and flakier than what I usually like . the soy garlic is somewhat like honey garlic sweet , which I’m not a fan of sweet stuff. And I prefer franks red hot instead of the hot sauce they use . It’s alright ,

Parking can be a drag to find around here but it's not impossible only during busy hours. Their lunch special is pretty good. I gave a 4 stars because the chicken is hit or miss sometimes. I feel they make it amazing, okay or terrible but for the most part I've had mostly good experiences here. Love me some Korean spicy chicken.

The fried chicken was alright. I got the half - and - half special that consisted of 24 pieces of fried chicken for $30. It came in three flavours - regular, spicy sauce and soy garlic. As far as the price is concerned, it is a nice deal for crispy chicken, however, I feel they could have worked a bit more on the flavour profile as well. The soy garlic was really tasty and juicy, but the spicy sauce was more like honey garlic with a pinch of kick. I was craving some really spicy fried chicken and I know for a fact that Korean sauces have a really nice heat to it, but that wasn’t the case here. Overall, it is feeling for 2-3 people. Soy garlic chicken - 4 / 5 Spicy chicken - 2.5 / 5 The restaurant was extremely short staffed. We waited for 25 minutes before our order was placed and we didn’t even get water before the food arrived. Other than that, it was fine. The server (even though she was alone) tried to manage the customers and serve them. She seemed nervous and we got the feeling she was on training - that is totally fine. Good job! I still recommend ‘The Fry’

I loved The Fry in Toronto, so I was super excited to find out that they had a branch in Ottawa. I was, however, very disappointed in the quality of the chicken. The chicken was dry and the orders we got were drenched with sauce. The garlic butter fries were still amazing, and I would highly recommend trying them if you're stopping by.
