"An Allston spot recommended for one of the city's best fried chicken sandwiches, representing the neighborhood's strong Korean-fried-chicken and sandwich scene." - Erika Adams
"Allston is the spot for Korean fried chicken in Boston, and this award-winning spot solidifies that fact. Fiya Hen (formerly known as Fiya Chicken) offers twice-fried chicken in many forms (wing, tender, and sandwich). Get the wings, and dunk them in the restaurant’s signature sweet chili sauce." - Erika Adams
"Fiya Chicken opened in Allston in late 2020, further solidifying the neighborhood as the spot for Korean fried chicken. Fiya does twice-fried chicken in many forms (wing, tender, and sandwich), as well as corn dogs fried in pancake batter." - Erika Adams
"Boston is teeming with great fried chicken sandwiches, but Fiya Chicken might have the best version. The double-fried chicken used in its Korean fried chicken sandwich is brined with buttermilk and kimchi, which gives the final product a slightly fermented taste. Diners can choose from four different glaze options: soy garlic, spicy Korean (made with fermented gochujang), the kicking house Fiya sauce made with chili oil and Korean peppers, and cider honey mustard. The soy garlic glaze is the play here — it is sweet and salty, and it pairs well with the house-made kimchi and pickles that top the sandwich. It’s all served on a toasted brioche bun." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Nathan Tavares
"In a neighborhood already rich with Korean fried chicken, I found this fall‑2020 opening in Allston to stand out: the double‑fried chicken is ultra‑crispy and deeply satisfying, and the buttermilk- and kimchi‑brined fried chicken sandwich ranks among the best in the city — glazed with choices like soy garlic (I recommend the sweet‑and‑salty soy garlic), spicy garlic, spicy Fiya sauce, or cider honey mustard and topped with kimchi and pickles. The menu doubles down on comfort with inventive treats like pancake‑batter corn dogs stuffed with mozzarella, hot dog, or both and coated in panko, potato, or ramen." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
