This place has really juicy fried chicken!!!! We did the half and half ($31.99). We tried the Padak and Soy Garlic Chicken. The Padak only comes boneless and was juicy and flavourful. The Soy Garlic Chicken was also juicy but a tad salty. We also tried the Fish Cake Soup ($16.00) and it was refreshing when paired with the chicken. The food here was a bit too salty for our liking but overall a great fried chicken restaurant. read more

Huge portion for $15, couldn't finish (a good thing). Had their Hot 1lb chicken wings and damn it was actually spicy - I love spicy. Beware if you don't, though. It came with a bed of fries which I wasn't aware of, but their fries are pretty good and I don't usually like fries. I recommend if you're super hungry! read more

Korean fried chicken - this is why we came here. I had organized for a group to come to Dakgogi for our 2nd get together for a KFC Unofficial Yelp Event. About a dozen people showed up and I had made the reservation weeks ago but I had updated the reservation to add more than 10 just a few days ago. The reservation was not an issue. I arrived last (around 720 pm) as I was stuck in the subway longer than expected that wasn't an issue. I had arrived embarrassingly late for my own hosted event. Everybody was seated in a nice cluster near the front with tables put together so we had one long table for our large group. The place is sort of tight and it's kind of impressive they are able to accommodate a party of our size with a fair bit of notice but it was greatly appreciated. What was odd and unfortunately WAY off was the service. I get that this place is busy and that Tuesdays are their special night (1/2 price wings) but I have to say there are some things that just made me think of how things could of been better because they were or became that bad. As I said I arrived last. The entire table as far as I knew did not order, but the other end did however and they had food before our end even had a chance to ask for anything really. I had ordered a drink that never came. I had to ask our server again for it and it finally came then. My end of the table finally got around to ordering and we were told they COULD NOT do separate bills but they could charge by 4's per table. Technically I was at my own table of 4 by myself being as I was last and at the end. I ended up being included with the 4 besides me not really a big deal but my beer ended up on a table at the other end? Billing was a disaster, just a complete disaster which could have been avoided if they bothered to bill everybody individually. We were 12 people, not 15 as I had made the reservation for so 12 is not 50 individual bills. I thought their unwillingness to give separate bills only added the frustration and confusion as to who ordered what and why was this on that bill for that table. DISASTER. The menu is the menu sure. Wings are the special on Tuesday no problem. The one stipulation which I completely do not understand is that you can order wings any way EXCEPT garlic soy. I also experienced this phenomenon at Home of Hot Taste. Is the secret ingredient for garlic soy platinum and diamonds and I just don't know it? Why and by what logic can you order wings in ANY other flavor EXCEPT garlic soy which was what I was looking forward to? It made no sense but it was explicitly on the menu. It's like trying to argue balls and strikes, you just can't do that. Because of previous bad experiences of KFC in Toronto I've now come to the conclusion that if I want my chicken crispy and to remain crispy that I will have to ask for all my sauces on the side. I am willing to do this. I've now had KFC in 4 different cities in North America, 5 if you count Mississauga as not Toronto (Pittsburgh, NYC, Chicago and Toronto) and by far the 2 places I went to in NYC and Chicago each particularly know how to keep chicken crispy/crunchy while juicy on the inside and NOT dripping wet. I'm speaking of Crisp in Chicago and Turntable in NYC. All the others have been IMO way too wet and not crispy/crunchy because the sauce they drown the wings in makes them lose that. I had almost felt like a diva asking for the sauce on the side but I had no choice after my last TO KFC experience had me picking up wings only to have them stream sauce like a honey pot dipper. Chicken wings: GOOD but not special and 7 or so small wings with fries is regularly 13 bucks? Regular price it's not a great deal. Tuesday 1/2 price so basically 2 pounds (maybe about 14 to 16 wings about 13 bucks) for that price is not so bad. I had a pint of Sapporo and it was 6.50. Basically I left 25 bucks for my food and single drink. I would have left 15% tip but the service was not good. To make things worse and this topped it all off besides getting all of our bills wrong was NOBODY had asked for the bills and all of the bills came to the table. Is this their way of saying LEAVE? I've never been given the bill without asking if we wanted anything else. I was going to have another beer but I guess not as it seems they wanted us to pay. The thing is we didn't leave right away. The Jays game was on the tv and we were watching. I didn't really feel they wanted us to order more because they gave us (all tables) their bills which were a jumbled mess that had to be asked to be fixed several times. As people started to leave and our table began to thin out the remaining for asked to move to another table to consolidate so others could sit down. I didn't see anybody waiting for tables but that's fair. That table was eventually filled too which is cool. Overall the experience was poor and the food was good but the service was horrible. 2* is me being nice. read more

I came with a group of Yelpers for a UYE. I ordered a plain half chicken with sauce on side, hot wings (1 lb) and a beer. Beware of the "hot" level, as the hot wings were very hot. The half chicken was crunchy and fresh, though it was a bit dry. I noticed that the chicken was completely flavourless, meaning it was not marinated before batter coating. I didn't see a salt shaker on the dining table. Therefore, if you wanted flavour, your options were to order a sauce on the side or use ketchup. Other than beer, all the alcoholic beverages were over priced. Chicken wings were grossly over priced at regular price ($14). We got ours half price because it was a Tuesday. Services was okay at time of ordering. It went downhill from there. It took a long, long time for the food to arrive. The guy sitting across me didn't get his order of beer pitcher even after all the food had arrived. He was so upset. The billing was a total embarrassment. Our bill was charged for an extra beer pitcher. read more

I came here with a friend of mine in early September at 9 in the evening. We had to wait five minutes before we got seated I had the padak fried chicken and kimchi fries. I wasn't a fan of the kimchi fries because I have a preference for cold kimchi rather than warm. The fried chicken, on the other hand, was pretty great! These two dishes are enough to satisfy two people. The restaurant is also a bit loud. It is also in a good location to grab a snack right after. read more

You gotta love chicken wings first before venturing here. Its like the korean version of St. Louis wings. I tried a pound of wings with honey garlic and the popcorn chicken with corn. Both dishes were tasty and a good portion size. I wish there were a few more fries though :P The service was on point but some of the staff arent exceptional in English. This is just a minor point. It has a nice vibe with a lot of people drinking and eating. Atmosphere is kinda a mix between a bar and a pub. Washroom is downstairs and I believe there is parking in the back somewhere. I would check out the Tuesday specials next time! Cheers. 4 stars **** read more

I love a good Korean fried chicken and North York is the place to get it. There's a variety of restaurants that serve up some good fried chicken. Came in on a Tuesday for their specials. And got a lb or 8 wings with Costco style fries which must come with a drink purchase. The wings itself were decent and majority were drumsticks in all our baskets with only two of them being wings. All in all, not the best but not the worst. Would I return? Perhaps only if someone wanted to go there. read more

Our group of 10 was planning on going to St. Louis, but came here instead because of a long wait. And I'm so glad I did! The food was amazing! We ordered some different types of fried chicken (spicy, garlic?!), and spicy rice cake. Wow!! The chicken was flavourful and crispy. The service was great and we had such a good time there! I'd recommend for large groups. Make a reservation before you go! read more

Came here for their monday/tuesday special. Got a pound of wings and fries for half price with a purchase of a drink. Coke $2.00 Wings $6.50 (12.99 originally) I got 3 pounds- padak, medium and honey garlic !! All the flavours were delicious and the wings were SUPER crispy. My favourite flavour was padak.. kind of a sweet soy saucey flavour. I normally dont like fries in general but dakgogi's fries were SO CRISPY outside and fluffy inside.. Yum. I actually enjoyed this much more than The Fry (another korean fried chicken resto). Our server was also very helpful and friendly as well. Great service. Definately coming back! read more

I really enjoyed going o Dakgogi on a Friday night. I showed up around 7pm and there were a few tables still available for dinner. This place has a grungy hole-in-the-wall feel. The music is definitely bumping in here. A great place to grab a casual drink with the guys, or to catch a sports game, but bot as great if you want to have a long serious conversation. It's just too loud. Dakgogi serves Korean fusion food and it was definitely tasty. I recommend the Kimchi fries and the Green Onion soy sauce fried chicken. For the latter, I liked the fact that the fried chicken was boneless chicken breast -- it was battered like the chicken found at Popeys . The Kimchi fries was on the next level with a fried egg on the top. That was a nice touch. I would definitely go again. PRO TIP: Don't get the spicy chicken wings unless you're in for a real scorcher, this stuff is spicyyyy! read more

Ordered the green onion chicken and spicy rice cakes. The green onion chicken was fried nicely, crispy batter. I never had green onion with my chicken before and the two together is a great taste! The chicken were boneless, covered with a sweet sauce topped with loads of green onion. The spicy rice cake was very spicy for me (I can only handle little spice) but my friends enjoyed it a lot. The side dishes (pickled radish and radish with a dressing on top) washes away the oiliness of the chicken and helped reduce the burning sensation of the spicy rice cake. They have some combo deal for chicken and beer (chicken and pint deal) that i've seen a couple of tables got. Service was ok, it was only one server that night. read more

I've been coming here when it was Turbo Lounge and T-Lounge! Their service was superb with AMAZING prices. Food was good and drinks were cheap! They underwent several name changes and I believe Dakgogi will remain. They made over their menu and somewhat renovated the interior. It appears that they are doing better than ever! Every time when I come here on a weekday, this place it quite filled! On the weekends... this place blows up! There are 4 booths that's perfect for 4-5 people and 4 long tables. They also have a patio at the back! Service was HORRIBLE the first few times visiting after changing its name and management from T-Lounge to Dakgogi. The servers were NOT ATTENTIVE AT ALL. There were a couple of instances where my friends and I had to physically get up, walk over to the bar and place our orders. Also, they overcharged us, gave us the wrong change or did not give us any change back at all! Just make sure to ALWAYS check your bills prior to paying!! I did my birthday here last year with a group of friends and as you know, we all got overly excited with our drinking games... so, a server came up to us to tell us to quiet down. Pardon me? Last time I checked, this was a BAR/LOUNGE not a LIBRARY. I was quite disappointed with the service and I told myself that I will not be visiting again...however, I still bring myself to this establishment today and I have to say, they improved A LOT. BRAVO! The degree of customer service is A WHOLE LOT BETTER than my earlier visits. Staff were more attentive and identifiable. They now have uniforms; all servers wears a black t-shirt with DAKGOGI printed on it. I've had their fried chicken wings a couple of times and it was great! Lightly battered and salted and just deep fried to perfection! If you like honey garlic, beware! Their honey garlic sauce will disappoint you... ): As for drinks, market price for beer and I believe they've increased their prices on the Soju Yogurt/other cocktails. Nonetheless, it's still a nice place to hang and have drinks with a group of friends! Although it'd be nice to have complimentary dishes again... read more

This Korean fried chicken place should have better overall reviews. I came here with a few buddies to try their spicy soy garlic chicken and non-spicy one, it was delicious! The chicken is very moist and not dry at all. The spicy one is tolerable, though I shed a few tears. I also really liked that they keep their beer glasses in the fridge so they are kept cold. I highly recommend this place for some tasty fried chicken with a group of 3 or more! Bless up chicken Gods read more

Good as always!! I reheated it at home so its in tin foil Service: Polite and Fast Taste: Needs a little more salt, I got sweet sauce and its sweet not like plum. More marinating would be nice with salt, soy, mirin or wine Price: Pretty spot on, they give you sides as well, and its not a chain restaurant. Ambiance: really loud lol, but so is every restaurant down the street I do agree that the past recipe is a lot better, when i first had it. I loved it so much i recreated the recipe at home and it does taste better so I might just make my own next time. I hope i will come again though. read more

It was my first time at dakgogi yesterday. I came here around 630 last night, not too crowded. We sat by the open window which was nice. We ended up ordering half original fried chicken and half fried chicken with the sweet sauce, along with two pints of Sapporo. Our side dishes came first, it was the usual corn and salad with mayo. I can definitely say these side dishes are on the smaller side as oppose to the fry. I found the original fried chicken very crispy, not too dry either. Same with the chicken in sweet sauce. I'm not sure if prices are similar but our total price before tip was around $45. I'd comeback again if I want to go to a different kfc place, and service wasn't bad either. read more

Nice place to check out if you want to grab drinks and Korean tapas with friends. It gets pretty busy here so I'd suggest making table reservations beforehand. Their service is really great and the servers are very nice. The food is pretty good and they're good for sharing too. We ordered the spicy honey garlic chicken wings and kimchi fries wherein the portions were huge. Their staff were very friendly and the service was great. Would definitely come back and try other items in the menu! read more

Friends brought me to this small place that has the vibe of a cozy local bar, but features Korean fried chicken as their main meal. It's a little like stepping into a Chinese restaurant where everyone is Chinese except Korean version - from the crowd, decor, to the menu. There's a number of combos and specials you can get, my party of five got a soy sauce with garlic fried whole chicken, a special half and half (padak and plain), and kimchi fries. To drink, we got a Sapporo beer tower. There was more than enough chicken to go around with good variety in the pieces, but the fries were disappointing. I can see myself being back for the chicken and the beer, just because the small space atmosphere suits me, and the only server there was nice and really did do her best. There was some confusion about the food portion order, but that aside the chicken came hot and tasty. There was a bit of wait, but tolerable. The padak features a coverage of shredded green onion over boneless chicken - good for those lazy about bones. The plain was crispy and simple, adding a side of mayo sauce will cost you $1.50 though! Finally, the soy sauce with garlic - I could see the soy and see the garlic, but I couldn't really taste the garlic on my chicken. It was a bit of a letdown, but I did still enjoyed the sweet Korean soy sauce flavour. The kimchi fries were not as I expected however - it resembled McCain's freezer fried topped with mayo, a large dollop of kimchi, and a sunny side fried egg that was not runny - it didn't mix well and just sat atop the fries. read more

I've been there many times either on the patio or inside. If you have a chance, make sure you spend time on the patio on a nice warm day with some beer and Korean fried chicken. The patio is at the back away from the busy Yonge street traffic so it's enjoyable compared to other patios nearby. Alternatively, the inside of the restaurant needs a major reno and should get rid of the booths to make room for more tables and a spacious experience. As for the food, they have a wide variety of flavors for their fried chicken. You can order plain, spicy or with soy sauce. On Monday or Tuesday, they offer half price wings specials. On regular nights, take advantage of their chicken and beer combos for those who enjoy a drink or two. No need for reservations but definitely get there early on a nice day if you plan to enjoy their patio of paradise. read more

TUESDAY WING SPECIAL. This place made me question getting wings anywhere else on a Tuesday night because it's SO good here. Korean Fried Chicken is already amazing to begin with, but top that off with extra flavours and WINGS, it's even better. On tuesdays, wings are 50% off with a purchase of a drink (cheapest drink is $2). The 1lb of wings also come with a lot of (costco?) fries. We only finished half of our portions and packed the rest. It came to about $10 AFTER tax. The service is a little slow, so it might not be the best place to go if you're in a rush or you're super hungry, but if you're ready to wait a bit for cheap and delicious korean fried chicken wings, then go here! It was almost empty around 6:30PM when we went but at 7PM the place was packed. I want to try their kimchi or bulgogi fries when I come back! There's also an outdoor patio area that I didn't get to check out. I heard they renovated recently so it looks way better than it used to too. GIVE THIS PLACE A SHOT. read more

Omg, Its the third Korean fried chicken restaurant i have this month. Taste: The taste of the fried chicken is just right for my preference. The medium spicy chicken is sweet and spicy, which is just right for me. The soy garlic chicken has enough sugar and salt to make it taste just right. Compare to the Fry, and the House of Hot Taste, the taste at Dakgogi is definitely better. Appearance: I got to say the appearance of the chicken is great. It using the soy garlic chicken as an example, the texture of the coating looks perfect. The one at The Fry looks so dry, and the colour of the chicken at House of Hot Taste looks a bit too light. Texture: Home of Hot Taste's has more garlic and more crispy compared to Dakgogi. Although, Dakgogi's seasoning on the coating taste a bit more powerful , which is my preference, if it has bit more juice and moisture would be perfect. Both Dakgogi and House of Hot Taste have great fry chicken that are competitive to each other. If I need to choose one, i would choose House of Hot Taste, only because i weigh the texture of the chicken more than the taste of the coating and seasoning. read more

Dakgogi is a small local Korean bar that serves flavourful food at an affordable price! It is an absolute gem and I am unsure why it doesn't get the publicity it deserves! The menu is heavily focused on chicken and alcohol with a small selection of other food items. Although their menu isn't as large as other places, it does serve great food that will leave you wanting more! It's a good place to hang out with friends and it is always at capacity whenever I come by. Similar to other places that serves chicken, they give you an option of how you want your chicken to be made. You have a choice of different sauces for your chicken along with chicken served with a dry rub. You are able to request sauces that are sweet, mild, or hot and you can choose your portion size (half chicken or whole). My personal favourite is chicken served in Korean spicy sauce. Another highlight is their kimchi fries with bulgogi. Served with an egg, it is a big portion that is great to eat with friends. A highly recommended item to order! Service is great as they come by frequently to make sure all needs are met and they are also quick in taking action. This is definitely a must try for those of you who haven't been here yet! read more

Really liked the soy garlic chicken at Dakgogi but I was way too full to eat all of it - had to pack it away. EDM and hiphop music was blasted like they used to at Turbo (previous owner? or maybe it's still the same owner?). Service was okay. Will come back to try more things on the menu :) read more

This is one of my favourite Korean fried chicken restaurants. Atmosphere - The bar itself has far better lighting than other Korean fried chicken restaurants so that you can actually read the menu. It isn't cramped and there are tv's around if you want to catch a playoff game. It's quite vibrant with Korean music blaring from the speakers. Food - Best Kimchi Fries in the the city. There's something magical about the combination of hot Costco-like fries with a runny egg and kimchi. I always crave this. I definitely recommend ordering this. Fried chicken wise, the Padak fried chicken is amazing (but they are boneless though if you don't like that). The sauce really adds to the flavour. We also got Mild fried chicken which was a bit spicy. I'd definitely recommend the Padak fried chicken. Beer - They also have beer towers which is awesome even for just the novelty. They have a pretty average selection of beer and the soju is a bit overpriced. Overall, I will return in the future and definitely recommend the kimchi fries and Padak chicken wings. read more

Service was bad : We came at 11:30pm and the place was packed. However, there were only 2 servers available so customers had to fight for their attention. We were a group of 3. My 2 friends ordered pop, and I got water. The 2 pops came, but the water didn't. We had to flag servers all the time: to place order, to ask for bill, to pay bill --- Food was unremarkable: We got the cheese corn which was drenched in mayo which had turned liquid from the sizzling plate. First, I'm not sure if mayo is common in cheese corn, but I don't recall mayo on other places I had cheese corn (or it just wasn't that obvious). Second, you can taste the mayo all throughout eating the corn so, if you're not a big mayo person, don't get this. We got the cheese paw Korean fried chicken. The cheese powder was good. But the chicken itself I found so-so. I still prefer other kfc places. The batter was too thin to have that proper crunch, and the chicken just had too much bones than other places I've eaten at. The white meat were so dry too. Other places were able to make the white meat still tender and juicy. read more

came here with 7 other friends. here is what we ordered: Deep Fried Chicken with Green Onion and Special Sauce. Whole. Spicy Chicken / With Cheese Chicken Salad Not too sure about the last one, but might've been the Special Half & Half. This was quite a bit of food for the 8 of us but we did manage to finish everything. Aside from the sauces and toppings that came with each order, i felt like the chicken itself was pretty lacking. maybe didn't have much seasoning to them on it's own, or wasn't marinated well. But they tasted a bit dry/bland. Deep Friend Chicken with Green Onion. The flavour that stood out the most was the green onions and that was only if you actually ate them. There wasn't much of a punch to this dish without it. Spicy Chicken / With Cheese. Was a bit dry. Served on a hot plate, so not deep fried. Wasn't overly spicy for me, I only had 2 pieces because I don't do too well with spicy foods, but the level of spice was decent. If i ate more i probably wouldn't be able to handle it. Either way I don't really like chicken breast and even more so when it's dry. Chicken Salad. I probably liked this one the most. Really, it was a simple dish. lettuce, tomatoes, dressing, and fried chicken cut into slices. I think the sauciness of the dressing was a big factor because I don't like dry chicken. The Half & Half. Only had 1 piece of chicken from this. If i have the right order named, this had drumsticks and other pieces of chickens with bones. All the other orders above were boneless. Again, not too much to say about this one, I don't even remember the flavour of the sauce on this one. Verdict. For fried chicken, this is not going to be one of my top options. read more

I wanted to love this place, for sheer proximity to where I live. I've heard good things. But it wasn't for me. 1) It wasn't crispy enough. There wasn't the balance of crisp to sauce. Sauce definitely drenched out any crispness that was. And the batter was not even. Some parts were crispy, and others just rubbery because of over-saucing and lack of batter. 2) Sauce was just alright, didn't make me salivate. If sauce has serious umami, I'd have eaten it despite lack of crispness, etc. But alas, it lacked in many ways, so no, don't quite recommend this one. read more

Please refer to my previous review, because that information still remains true. I have not been having good experiences at dakgogi every time I've been back, and that's a lot. My heart always wants to give it a second try since it used to be so good. Even the owner or one of the workers had sent me a yelp compliment telling me to come back and try again because the experience I had last was 'when they first opened' so the service was bad.. that's not a excuse, but sure..? We came back for a UYE the other day and that was the last straw. Service was minimal, if not none. The girl barely attended to our table and somehow half our table had already put in their order and received their food when the other half had not even put in drink orders. Ridiculous. The servers looked flustered with every interaction they made with our table and even when they brought the wings over, they looked very annoyed as we had trouble figuring out who ordered what flavour. It also took over 10 minutes to refill our bottles of water. Excuse me, do you want dehydration at this table? Or people dying from spiciness? Please. The menu has also gone downhill.. it used to be so extensive with pages after pages and offered combos. I guess their main focus now is the chicken. Their chicken is amazing and is one of my favourite korean fried chickens in Toronto. However, it's not good enough to keep me coming back. ALSO: BIG TIP- FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DO NOT GET THE CALAMARI. It used to be SO good but I don't know what made them change the menu because it's now dry, hard and tasteless. The squid part comes straight out of the fried part and that's disgusting. Last time I ordered this, we could barely finish it. Waste of money. Their large yogurt soju is now $20.. dude, do you know how absolutely dirt cheap it is to make yogurt soju? Yes, it's my favourite korean alcoholic drink but it's definitely NOT worth that much. Also.. no splitting bills. The waitress said the best she can do for us is split it by table. Kind of weird, but ok? Honestly, any restaurant can split bills for you if you ask beforehand ..(all they have to do is put in a new order # for each person) it's just a matter of whether they want to or not. In the end, it was very confusing because they messed up our bill 3 times and we repeatedly had to keep telling them that something was wrong. I'm pretty sure it would've been easier if they had just split the bill for us. Overall.. don't think I'd be coming back here soon.. dakgogi, you know I always have a small love for you.. but this is not the place to go for cheap wings and alcohol like it used to be. read more

The chicken wings here aren't bad, but this place is absolutely not able to handle large groups. It's was half price wings on Tuesday ($6.50/pound) with a nice assortment of sauces. Domestic pitchers for $14.99. My order came pretty promptly but others at our table didn't get their orders the first time round. The bills were the true disaster. They told us we couldn't do separate bills, only by table. Except they ended up mixing up all the orders and it was just a big mess. The server re-did the bills several times to the point that 10-12 separate bills would have been so much easier. They also added an extra pitcher to our bill. I imagine they are fine for groups of four or less, but honestly there's better wing joints in the city. I wouldn't return. read more

The chicken pieces are tiny. The special half-half chicken, (which is supposed to be one chicken split into two with two sauces of choice) suspiciously comes with only one chicken wing and one drumstick. We had ordered two half-half specials and both only came with one wing and drumstick each, so I doubt it was a one-off. The batter isn't fluffy. The chicken is kind of dry. It overall lacks any taste besides chicken and salt. The salad is just shaved cabbage with a bit of thousand island or ranchy dressing drizzled over it. Did I mention that all this was at a rather steep $28?
