Abang Yoli Nicollet

Chicken sandwich was extremely good. Short rib bao was also great. Fried chicken was crispy and flavorful. Veggies inside were amazing too. Fries with cilantro had a generous portion and came with a nice sauce. Service was pretty fast under 10 minutes and you order at a counter. Seating is limited. Heavily recommend coming here, everyone in my party agreed it was very good food.

If I could describe food as gorgeous, it would be this place. We ordered a variety of dishes to try, and every dish was truly exemplary - the plating, the quality of fresh food, the flavor and the perfectly crafted menu make this location a must go! All of the ingredients paired so well together and we thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The staff were also friendly and attentive!

Excellent Korean food, filling portions, reasonbly priced. Great location, tiny interior. Loved every dish we ordered. Generous cuts of prime meats. flavors were distinct and exciting. Staff was very friendly. Although seating was limited, people rotated fast enough that I never saw anyone waiting for a place to sit. There was no restroom that I could tell. They switch from breakfast to lunch exactly at 11am on days when they offer both.

Ordered a few things off the menu, only had an issue with the grilled chicken bao. As it was severely undercooked. Otherwise the fries, chicken sandwich and kimchi were good. I went up to one of the chefs to just confirm on the cook of the chicken, but was told that's how our chicken is cooked for the baos. They did not offer a refund on the single item.

I'm pleasantly surprised! Food comes in healthy portions (two pieces is plenty for $13). Spicy levels are on the mild side. Even the second hottest would be palatable for most. Fries were excellent and a huge portion for $5. Has a small patio and not much inside seating for more than two. It's definitely a great place for pickup. Excited to try the breakfast menu at some point.

Loved the food! I ordered the Chicken Sandwich (fried) with garlic nori ranch on the side. Didn't really know what to expect with the sauce but was pleasantly surprised! Back to the sandwich, the chicken was sooo good, no part of it was dry. Also ordered the bulgogi short rib bao and Asian fries! The bulgogi was full of so much flavor, but not overpowering, was especially yummy with the chili crunch sauce. My partner ordered the four-piece boneless chicken, which was clearly too much for either of us. These are not chicken nugget sized pieces if that's what you were thinking. We both agreed that we wanted something a bit spicier, so next time we'll be trying their hot habanero sauce. And coming back for their breakfast!! 5/5 recommend!!

First time dining here and food was delicious! I especially love the pork belly ssam. I also like how they have a variety of sauces to choose from for fried chicken. The server was super cute and she was very helpful with guiding us through their menu. The owner was very nice too! We’ll definitely be back!

Awesome chicken sandwich, not a ton of seating, friendly staff. Choosing the sauce can make it a different experience. I got the fried chicken sandwich with the sesame ginger garlic sauce and it was fantastic. Food is brought out to you when ready. Silverware, napkins, water are self service.

We stopped here during Lyndale open streets and I'm so happy we did! We had been eyeing this place for awhile but finally decided to try! You walk in and order at the counter and then sit wherever you want! The staff was nice and got our food out quickly! The restaurant is cute and clean. I do think the air was off but I think it may have been broken. We ordered the Chicken sandwich with the Gochujang sauce (recommended by the person taking our order), the Abang Dog and the Kimchi slaw. My boyfriend LOVED his sandwich. It was messy but he said it was really delicious. Great level of spice and not at all dry or over cooked. The Abang Dog was really amazing. It was a little messy to eat with all the green onions but I really loved the mound of them, it added a nice freshness to an intensely flavorful hot dog. The chicken sausage it was made with was great. It was snappy, flavorful, and a great level of smokiness. The sauce was perfect for it. I really enjoyed it. Would absolutely recommend to someone else. I tried the kimchi slaw and it wasn't my favorite thing ever but I'm also very picky about my kimchi so it's probably more of a me issue lol. Overall, I would definitely encourage other people to try this place out! I can't wait to come and try out their breakfast menu!!!!

My #1 favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities from the first time I tried it. It's so rare these days (especially in the metro) to find a place that has food that's THIS good at such an affordable and accessible price point. It's a small space, so I also really appreciate that they're aware of their capacity and operate as a counter-serve joint. The chicken sandwich ($13) is the best I've ever had--the fried breast is juicy and flavorful, and is complemented so nicely by the pickled vegetables and the milk bun. In addition to all of the standard toppings, you get an option of sauce on the sandwich, and to me, it's an absolute non-negotiable to get the chili crunch! Abang Yoli's chili crunch is my favorite ever and has the perfect blend of spice and umami. The Asian fries ($5) are also a must--the portion is HUGE and the crispy leeks with the nori salt elevates the fries so much. The sesame aioli adds a nice subtle and mild flavor to balance out the (pleasant) saltiness of the fries. They also have one of the best breakfasts in the cities on Thursdays-Saturdays from 8-11a. The house cured pomegranate bacon that comes on their Breakfast Bang Bowl ($12) or Seoul Sunrise Sandwich ($12) is mind-blowing!

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything we ordered was. I've tried the chicken sandwich before at Malcolm yards and wasn't that impressed by it, so I ordered the abang dog and my husband got the chicken sandwich. We also got the Asian fries and Cha siu bao to share. I was so shocked at how big the sausage was in the abang dog, it came out piping hot and juicy with the similar toppings you get on the Asian fries which I'm obsessed with. It consists of a lot of scallions, spicy pickled cucumbers and I think mayo. The best combo ever, with the extra crunch from the pickled cucumbers and snap from the sausage, it was delish. The Asian fries are a must have and I love how nice and thin they are, super crispy. The Cha siu has a good smoke to it and is a good addition if you're extra hungry. The only call out I would say for this location is that they do not have a bathroom inside for customers to use so not as convenient for those that want to dine in. Ambiance feels like a typically fast food joint with a small amount of seating. Either way, it was clean and I'll definitely be back.

Yum!!!! Love this place and all the bright flavorful options. The Asian fries are fully loaded and delicious. The bun on my chicken sandwich got a little charred unfortunately but the flavors stiill shone through. And the cookie was awesome too! This is a really cute place with nice reward options when you sign up!

So, this is the place to get Korean-style friend chicken. That's really all I have to say about this place. The service was friendly and the food is fantastic. We started with Bulgogi Short Rib Bao and Char Siu Bao. Should order at least each of these...yes, even if you're eating alone. These things are sooooooooo good. Next, we added the Asian fries to our chicken order. These are entirely too easy to eat. If you have a thing for potatoes, you might need rehab after eating these. They came out hot and perfectly seasoned and presented. Another thing you might want to order more than one of if you're sharing. I don't typically eat a lot of fries, yet these are worth the calories. And finally, what you came here for: Chicken! Darn-good friend chicken. These thighs are fried to perfection and so moist and flavorful. The crunch is so strong that you feel surprised that your clothes aren't covered in shards of skin and batter. We got the four-piece and ate one each at the restaurant. You can order ahead if you don't have time to eat inside. You aren't going to get a better Korean-style chicken anywhere else.

Ordered delivery when i was in town for work and it did not disappoint! The packaging of everything was really well done - and even though it was about 20ish minute drive, it was still warm when it got delivered! I ordered the fried chicken (9/10), sweet potatoes (10/10 please get these), a pork belly boa (good; but not amazing 6/10) and the kimchi slaw (8/10) Next time, I will definitely plan on stopping by in person - just so I can have it fresh!

This place has amazing fried chicken. The baos were kind of awkward to eat, and I wasn't a fan of the short rib bao texture-wise. My friend got the sandwich and really liked it!

Ahh, I love this place so much. The service there is great, and while the space is small - it still works out. I have never been there and felt too crowded. I personally love the lettuce wrap option with any of the meat. The chicken specifically is a personal favorite, not only the grilled chicken but also the fried chicken.. omg.. the fried chicken.. moist and hot with an amazing light fried skin with so much flavor - I want it right now. The pork is also amazing, a lot of flavor, not dry at all, cut in to nice strips and perfect. I also personally love the cold noodles, it is so hard to find good cold noodles but these ones serve every single time. I go here probably 1x a month and every single time it is as good if not better than the last!

Abang Yoli surprised me y'all. I was snared in by their website's free chicken sandwich offer with an entrée and thought I may find tasty pan Asian fusion to shovel down on a late night. I didn't expect the food to be the daring fire-dance of flavor with intentionality on every component that it was. I ordered the char siu with my free fried chicken sandwich, sampling both as I dined in. The Char Siu includes Cantonese bbq pork belly, with translucent cucumber, jasmine rice and pickled jalapeño. The dish slapped my mouth with seared, sweet and savory deliciousness. The pork belly was thickly sliced with a fat middle that melted in my mouth. The jalapeño is not merely a garnish, but a true contribution to the meal. I paired the tastes together for a flavor zap. The sandwich is a behemoth, and my first bite was straight tempura fried chicken thigh. I had one thought: sinful. That's how delicious the chicken itself was. The well-spiced fried chicken was thick and juicy. It may be the best fried chicken I've had in Minnesota (a state in which I had almost given up on finding great fried chicken). But the chicken is only the heart of a much larger team. You would think lettuce and tomato would be irrelevant on a sandwich with this level of flavor, but there's so much intentionality behind the other parts. The brioche bun, boston lettuce, and fresh tomato all bring an integrity to the entire sandwich. And the honey-like ooze of the garlic sauce contrasted the fried texture of the chicken while also enhancing the taste. Eating it is messy, like kissing a hot stranger at a music concert. My favorite flavor experience with both meals was the crunch. The peeled scallions on top of the rice, the sear of the pork belly and even the dull snap of the jalapeño. Unity and boldness of flavor elevates Abang Yoli to a high level of dining.

The size of the space + window seating makes it feel like a cool Brooklyn hole in the wall that you can pop in/out of--which TC desperately needs more of. The signature item is the fried chicken (sammie) and may be one of the best I've ever had - its humungous, well worth the price and make sure you have a pile of napkins ready. THere is an option for a grilled chicken vs. fried, but buyer beware: you will get less (seemingly) less chicken, so unless you have a dietary restriction - go fried! As for spice I'm a pretty standard 3/5 on a spice scale and the gochujang sauce hits perfectly for me. The Asian fries are a can't miss. The only reason I'm taking off one star is because I genuinely can't eat at this location after sundown. Sad but true. Nothing personal to the staff or quality of food, but we have to order takeaway because of the harsh light coming from the bev cooler. I know this may sound weird/minor, but it doesn't matter where I sit, it reflects/catches/whatever... it just throws the ambiance off for me. But after getting home with our order it is always well packaged and still warm and always delicious.

I normally stop by for the sandwich but the other day I decide to change it up and get the chicken alone. It was AMAZING, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I think I might like it more than in a sandwich, the fries are also wonderful. What a great place to eat at

All bangers, no skips. Everything we had here was so so good! The flavors were all on point, I can't wait to have the short rib again. We've had the chicken sandwich at Malcolm Yards and it's perfect - great to know that it's not a one hit wonder! Restaurant was pretty small, glad it wasn't super busy, but loved being able into the kitchen. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Stopped by the Market at Malcolm Yards and couldn't pass up an opportunity to get Korean Fried Chicken! I ordered a two piece with both the Gochuchang and Sesame Ginger Garlic Sauces, and kimchi slaw. The fried chicken had a great crunch and was well seasoned. The chicken on the thigh piece was super tender and juicy, but the breast piece was a tad dry in some bites. I loved the gochuchang sauce. It had a good level of heat and sweet. The sesame ginger garlic sauce had a great flavor but was a touch too salty for me. I really enjoyed the kimchi as well-just wish I had a little more! Overall a tasty meal, and the service was good.

Very tasty grilled chicken sandwich. Small seating area, best to go. Service was fast and friendly.

Chicken was juicy but not as crispy as I had hoped and not as crispy as other Korean fried chicken places. Pork belly ssam was good. The hot dog was probably the best thing we ate. Very flavorful. Fries were also good. Kimchi was bland.

The chicken was good. However, the buns seemed a little dry and stale. Pricey in return for just the sandwich.

Wow- this place blew me away. I was so impressed with the flavor and execution of both the crispy fried chicken dishes and the beef short rib. It was absolutely perfect! I also had the charsiu dish and this was also very impressive. I loved how every component (the meat, side dishes, rice, sandwich buns, etc) was cooked to perfection and the flavors were so on point. We ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich, charsiu plate, and the fries and everything was perfect. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We stopped here because Kyatchi across the street was closed. I'm gluten free, it was easy to find a meal here I got charbroiled chicken with gochujang sauce and a rice noodle salad. Flavors were FABULOUS. My partner had the bao, scratched an itch for street food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Beverages in the cooler were nothing special. Inside seating is very limited- one table booth and some counter space. Think takeout

Came here for our first time. Place is new. Has limited inside seating (bar level), one outdoor table with 4 chairs. We ordered the: - fried chicken sandwich: amazingly good. The batter for the fried chicken is light, the sauce for the burger is spicy and good. - bulgogi beef bao - really good as well. The bao/ bread is super soft. Plenty of shredded green onion to balance out the flavor - noodle salad. Noodle is cool/ colder than room temp. There's a slightly spicy but super super yummy sauce mixed into the noddle, along with the mint and herb leaves, super refreshing. Initially the cold noodle felt a little off, but after taking a couple bites, along with the herbs, I cannot stop eating the noodle. Grilled chicken is warm and good, but not as good as the fried chicken- which I think is the main attraction. - got the fries - exceptional as well. Thin cut, but fries to perfection. Not overly done, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside fries. And there are little strips of brown fiber on top of the fries, which I believe are shredded deep fried onion- so so yummy as well. They don't serve with ketchup - so I would recommend the restaurant supply ketchup. Overall a pleasant surprise, excellent food, and priced low for the quality of food that is being presented. I am surprised this place isn't swarmed with customers... must try if u are in the neighborhood !! * to the owner- the register doesn't ask for a tip when paying with credit card, I would make sure that feature is updated on ur cashier's register so u don't miss out on tips :)

My favorite fried chicken shop is now in my neighborhood! Now I won't have to hop on the highway to get the best chicken sandwich in town. Coupled with the Asian fries, my lunches for the rest of this week are now decided.

It's a tiny shop, so seating is limited. Everything has tons of flavor. (The kimchi slaw runs to the hot side for those with an upper midwestern palette!) We found the folks working pleasant and turnaround for orders is fast, with the caveat that we went in off rush hours.

Decided to try this place based on a recommendation. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. It was basically all bread. It was thee driest chicken I have ever had in my life. For $16 I was expecting more. Not sure if I will go back....

I ordered a pork belly dish. The pork belly was served partially cold. It was accompanied by plain cucumbers and some boring rice. The flavor was ok, yet pretty bland The price point is pretty high for the quality of food. I would go elsewhere if you want decent Asian food.

The service was great at this restaurant. The chicken sandwich was amazing. It's a cute date night spot.

the chicken sandwich ripped up the roof of my mouth. It felt like I was eating Captain Crunch with no milk.. I should've just went to Popeyes instead of wastin my money here:/

Just got take out at Abang Yoli and it was excellent. We will definitely be back. I am a neophyte with respect to Korean style food so I was a little unsure about my order which was to be shared at home with my wife so finally decided on a fried chicken bao, a short rib bao, and two char siu baos (I like char siu). A bao is sort of Korean version of a taco or vice versa. This was enough food for the two of us for lunch. Both my wife and I liked the fried chicken best. It was juicy inside and nice and crispy outside. Char siu was also excellent. Would definitely get the chicken again. All were very good however with nice Asian flavors. While I waited a short time for my order I saw a number of dishes come out of the open kitchen and they all looked delicious. There isn't much seating inside and only one table outside. The inside seating is on stools at a counter so I would not come here expecting a seat right away. Take out is probably best bet. There are about six restaurants plus other businesses at or near this intersection so parking is a challenge. I had to circle the block and parked about a block away. Not a big deal but don't expect to pull up right in front to collect your take away. Glad I tried Abang Yoli and plan on returning soon.

I love the food here a great addition to the neighborhood! All the employees are great there and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place!

The food is hotly served, thats about it. Except for the inclusion of kimchi, there isnt any particular flavor or motif that has any ties to South Korean cuisine. Expensive for what the dishes offer, both in quantity and quality. A bit bland for the fried chicken and the ssam which usually goes with boiled pork, has seasoned grilled pork instead and imho its not the best.

Love the vegan laksa!!! Great presentation, portion and most of all it was delicious! Hit the spot especially on this cold winter day. Thank you!

Everything on the menu is amazing! I keep going back to try something new or different and I am never disappointed. The new KABOCHA Squash dish is my new favorite along with anyone of the flavor filled bao's. Definitely worth stopping in or ordering to go!

Really dug this new place! The staff was super friendly and the menu is just the right size: lots of options without being overwhelming. My wife and I shared a bao bun, the chicken ssam and the fries. All we're good, but the chicken was my fav. I wouldn't go there on a first date, as all three of our dishes were messy in some form or another. Not much for seating, so plan accordingly, but the menu lends itself well for takeaway. We'll be back to try out the rest of the menu in the near future!

I live in the neighborhood and was excited to see them take over the space. Love the crispness and juiciness of the chicken. The sauces are great as well, both spicy and garlicky. Friendly staff and overall good experience.

Very good! Cool place, nice staff, friendly and helpful. Excellent food! Will be back.
