JJ Fried Chicken

This is the first time me and my friends have come to this shop, and right when we walked in, it was such a cozy cute spot! There are astronauts and atmospheric lights that make the space not too bright but warmly lit, and there are also cute things you can buy for home. The food was amazing and chicken was super crunchy, and juicy. The corn cheese and onion rings with garlic butter topping were the perfect sweetness! Top it off with a beer and you have a perfect night!

I ordered the half sweet & spicy, half fried chicken because the reviews looked promising — and overall, I’d say it lived up to the hype in some ways. The packaging was great, and as soon as I opened it, I got that nostalgic old-school Korean fried chicken smell, which I really appreciated. However, both the fried and sweet & spicy flavors were a bit too mild for my taste. If you’re expecting the bold, sweet-heat flavor of Korean yangnyeom chicken, I’d recommend going for the spicy version instead. I’ll definitely try that next time. One big disappointment for me was the pickled radish (chicken-mu). I usually love it, but this one really missed the mark — the flavor just wasn’t there. I think the recipe needs some serious rework. That said, the chicken itself was generous in portion and very reasonably priced. Compared to many overpriced and underwhelming Korean chicken franchises in Toronto, JJ Chicken definitely holds its own. I hope places like this thrive — they offer great value, and their success might make those big-name franchises rethink what they’re serving.

100x TIMES BETTER THAN KFC !!! super crispy and tender fried chicken. We ordered corn cheese, spicy soy and golden fried chicken. The spicy soy was def on the spicy side so be careful lol but the server was extremely nice to let us try 2 other sauces. Will def come back !!!

Update 07/02/2025: ordered two half and half chickens, cheese snow, OG and soy garlic. Still delicious as the first time I ordered and presentation is consistent. Thank you for such delicious fried chicken! Ordered takeout through their business site. We got the half and half chicken - original and soy garlic. First of all, the PACKAGING - items came in a super cute reusable bag. Secondly, there were disposable gloves and an extra pop (thank you). And finally the chicken - we're about a 10min drive and the chicken definitely passed the crunch test. The chicken was not dry, super flavorful with the pickled radish and didn't feel overly greasy/heavy. We're super glad there's a fried chicken place in the area and we'll definitely be ordering again!

The BEST fried chicken you will find in Toronto. The chicken is always very well seasoned and stays crispy under all their sauce. Prices are very reasonable given the portions. Their pickled radish is also one of my family's favourite sides from a restaurant. Their other sides are also quite good; their fries remain crispy for a good while! The staff are very friendly and professional. The store is clean and has a nice relaxing space theme. They also play Kpop music and videos on a screen at the side of the restaurant, easily visible from any table! You are given cutlery and plates that are very cute and functional. You also have the choice of eating with your hands with the use of their branded gloves! Their store features many adorable items for you and your loved ones to see first hand. Parking can be found right in front of the store on the side of the street, and is easy to pay for the ticket. Absolutely would recommend this store if you are interested in fried chicken!

Honestly, this place is amazing! I tried it and I was surprised on how good the food was. The portions are huge and good priced. The fries are so crispy and cooked to perfection. We tried the Original spiced chicken and the sweet chicken and it was amazing!! The chicken was also cooked to perfection and super fresh! He showed us on how to drink the sake traditional style a very good 5/5

This was my first visit with friends, and we immediately fell in love with this cozy, cute spot! The décor is fun and atmospheric, with astronauts and warm, soft lighting that makes the space feel inviting. There are also charming little items you can pick up for your home. The food was fantastic—the chicken was perfectly crunchy and juicy, and the corn cheese and onion rings with garlic butter topping were delightfully sweet. Pair it with a cold beer, and you’ve got a perfect night out!

The Korean fried chicken was super tasty! Crispy outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. I loved it and will definitely eat it again!
