This review is based on its current promotion price of $38.88 / 5DM chicken. There are bigger/longer chicken orders on menu. DM Chicken is a little hip eatery that specializes in chicken, Chinese/Western fusion. I ordered "sweet spicy" 5DM chicken. There was a LOT of chicken bites, and a lot of garlic, onion and other fillers. It came with 2 bowls of white rice and a small fries. The chicken was drown in a sauce that tasted like Thai sweet chili sauce mixed with chili oil or some type of chili sauce. For reference, I usually eat mild to medium spicy food; this sweet spicy sauce tasted very spicy to me. It was obvious that the chicken, garlic, onions and spices had been cooked together for a while, as the flavors melted together. The food was delicious because of the bold flavors and the oil. Hence, I strongly recommend that you order the flavors you enjoy, because it is all that is going for it. The 5DM is supposed to be for 2 people, but the portion can feed upto 3 people, 4 if you also order some sides. It will be more economical if you come in bigger group to share a bigger chicken order. The service was fast and sufficient. The decor is casual, hip and young. I rate it 4 stars partly because it is $10 off now. It is quite expensive at regular prices read more

DM Chicken - 5DM sweet spicy - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5/5 came in on a friday night and it wasn't too packed anyways ordered the 7.5dm chicken for 2, and we got the sweet and spicy and the super spicy. i DO NOT recommend the super spicy, it is soooooooo spicy it is worse than the korean spicy noodle challenge. i tried one chicken and my tongue was hurting for 10 mins and it burned my stomach. however the sweet and spicy side was good. it also comes with fried chicken, salad, fries or sweet potato fries (i recommend sweet potato it is yummy), and beef patty or this pork rib thing. all the side dishes it came with were good. also comes with rice. the "cheese" in the middle tasted more like sour cream instead of cheese. just not your typical stretchy string cheese, it doesn't melt also got 2 drinks it was buy one get one free. we got 2 peach yakult slush it was yummy service was ok kind of pricey but i would come back if it was with a bigger group of ppl. i think the environment and food is more suitable for more ppl read more

Soft opening. So get this, it's braised chicken with special sauces, heated with candles! So when we ordered long story short I asked if the garnish was garlic or not. Waitress tells us that it's garlic, turns out it's peanuts. I'm allergic to peanuts. The deathly kind. So we ask to get this replaced immediately, luckily I was suspicious of the dish from the get go. Didn't eat any of it but at least no one was hurt. But still, it's not acceptable to get something like that wrong. read more

DM Chicken - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I came here with a friend for an early dinner and the place was quiet. It was kind of empty and so we requested for a booth. The waitress gave a snarky look and pointed over to a booth. The food arrived and I requested for a plate. The waiter pointed to the tiny black plate which the cup was sitting and said, "That's the plate." How tiny? It's 1ish DM. We didn't have their signature chicken and opted for chicken wings, caviar hand pilaf and drinks. Chicken wings were mediocre. Rice was soggy. Drinks were good. Small menu. Place is cozy with cute setting. Service is bad! read more

Came on July 6 (Saturday) around 5:30pm. The food was worth to try in my opinion, the chicken was well seasoned and the rice cake and potatoes were tasty. However, the service was extremely extremely bad. The male server looked like he had a miserable day, very impatient, seems like he hated his job to death. I mean, once you choose to work, be professional, no matter where you work at. Food industry is pretty competitive in Toronto, lots of restaurants try to provide their best services possible, unless you are doing money laundering, you should improve your customer service. read more

I came here with a friend and ordered the DM chicken with sweet potato fries. The chicken was pretty good, it has a sweet flavour and they cook it with mini rice cakes and some veggies. It tasted especially good dipped in the sauce or in the cheese. The salad on the side was surprisingly tasty too and of course you can't go wrong with sweet potato fries. Overall the food was good, my only complaint was that it was a bit expensive. But if you split the bill and share the food it's definitely feasible. read more

DM Chicken - DM chicken with sweet potato fries - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. The fried chicken is pleasantly not bad but everything else is just sub par. The service is dreadful, slow and inattentive servers, while one order from the same table was served in a timely fashion the other order was served 35 minutes later after reminding them some of the guests were not served. extremely over priced, $100 for 5 pieces of fried chicken and about enough food for 2, dish was served cold despite having the gimmick of candles under the serving tray. Pork chop was drier than dog chew. It's pretty much having frozen food served for you for 15 times the price. Feeling adventurous? This is perhaps the worst adventure you could have. read more

March 15, 2018 - the food here was good. But the prices are a bit high. It was a nice place to try for the first time. The flavour of the chicken dish was good. It was spicy. The sweet potato fries were good also. read more

What's so good about this place? Chicken taste is boring also small and overpriced. I rather order in jollibee or in superstore.

Lines up for nearly an hour of in a small vestibule space. We had their 5Dm I think. The chicken was good with unlimited rice refill. We also ordered the starry night since we saw everyone ordered one, but it was too sweet for my taste. I would definitely go back with more friends to try the bigger DM so there are more varieties. Maybe next time have one friend can wait in line while the rest can wait at home until there is a table. read more

Came here for dinner tonight with my best friend and sister. Decided to try this place out as my best friend heard great things. We ordered the 5DM original flavour and it was quite delicious. We also ordered the spicy rice cakes which I don't recommend. Portion size for the rice cake was too small for what it is and there's already rice cake that comes with the chicken. Especially for the garlic lovers they have whole clove garlics in the chicken platter! Cooked of course. Overall I thought the experience was very fun as we were catching up and having a girls night. Atmosphere was Nice and clean. Staff were also friendly. It was quite expensive for what it is but again like someone mentioned below it's more for the experience. I would definitely try this place out if you're catching up with friends. read more

DM Chicken - Original chicken with sweet potato fries and a side of spicy rice cakes. - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Super gimmicky and pricy but the chicken itself was actually very delicious. I like how there's some veggies and rice cake mixed in with the chicken. We ordered the 7.5 which allowed us to choose two flavours - we got spicy as well as the sweet flavour. Would recommend both. It does come with side dishes - salad, chicken wings, yam or potato fries, and beef or pork patty. The salad that came with it had way too much dressing. The yam fries were regular. The beef patty was just basically a burger party with some sweet mayo sauce drizzled on top - meh. Thehe chicken wings though, were really crispy and juicy. Definitely a bonus highlight to the meal. Given that we spent $75 for this, I can probably go to a Taiwanese restaurant and get something similar. Still a unique experience and definitely a place to go with friends though. Service was alright, servers don't really speak English well and menu is in Chinese. read more

Despite all the reviews we decided to give this place a try and it was surprisingly very good! The chicken was very juicy and flavourful. However, I don't think the cheese they used was 100% cheese, it tasted like it was mixed with another ingredient. If you pay with cash you can get 10% off. read more

We ordered the 5.0 dm chicken plate. I found it a little too sweet for me. The fries and salad were ok. The restaurant is fairly busy for a Sunday dinner time. In my opinion, it's a bit expensive for the value of the food. It's worth a try but don't expect great value. If three to four people come to share the chicken, it would be a 3.5 star to 4 stars. read more

This place is really good! Got the 5dm chicken w sweet potato fries, squid and black chicken. They are all really good, and I especially like the black chicken! It looks awful but it's really really good! You got to try it. Soft, crispy, smooth. Will definitely come again. read more

I went to this restaurant twice. I gave it four stars because the service is great. They gave us 10 percent discount for my friend's birthday. I appreciated their friendly offer. The chicken tastes soft and juicy. The rice box tastes even better. The menu is restricted, so u don't have too many choices other than chicken. You even don't have too many choices for the flavour of chicken. I got depressed about it because I like honey garlic flavour or bbq flavour. However, I do think the prices of food are comparably expensive. Just enjoy the unique experience. read more

DM Chicken - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Where do I start... the middle cheese thing isn't cheese. The wings are from Popeyes, the fries are from Costco, the middle "cheese" is actually that foam stuff from Bubble tea places and there's just an awkward beef patty too. There's more potatoes than chicken in that chicken "stir fry" and the squid is just blatantly spicy. No other flavour, just spicy. I don't know what the other reviews are talking about, unless you just got released from prison or came from a soup kitchen, this place is overpriced and sucks. Would definitely not recommend unless you want terrible gold and want to pay a lot for it. read more

First day of soft opening! They don't have all their menu items ready yet, but they do have some. They seem to be a Chinese owned restaurant trying to do the Korean fried chicken/dakgalbi and cheese/toppoki route. The interior is rather nice. It's clean and chic and they've got some cute decorations like lamps shaped like chicks. Some of the menu (dalkgalbi/combo platters) is only in Chinese. Supposedly, they have a 10% off deal, but you need to scan a QR code into Wechat and post something on their behalf first. The details are on the table, but they're all in Chinese as well. They have these three very unusual items called hand pilaf. Basically, it's a bowl filled with rice and topped with things like kimchi, tuna, or caviar. Why a hand pilaf? Because apparently, there's some sort of allure in being given a glove so you can mix your rice by hand. Um...okay then. Or I could eliminate the waste of plastic gloves by mixing it with my spoon. We ended up getting their white chicken ($12.99). They also have red chicken ($12.99) and black chicken ($15.99). There are no descriptions for any of these things, so it's a tad difficult to know what one is ordering. White chicken, based on the picture, was fried chicken tossed in grated white cheese. We received a basket of 10 wings, topped with a spoonful of grated white cheese, and a handful of fries on the side of the basket. If I order white chicken, I want my chicken to look white all around. The way they did it, all the wings on the bottom of the pile didn't have cheese. That being said, the wings were very juicy (just cooked) and crispy, but they could have been crispier still. The fries were very crispy. There were no condiments on the table, so we ended up having to ask for ketchup for our fries. It's a decent deal at $12.99. The whole thing left me rather thirsty, but thankfully, they had a jug of water with lemon slices on the table. Service was decently friendly, but two things were a tad odd: 1) I asked for plates so we could share the food we ordered. They told me the plate was the saucer under my cup. 5 wing bones on that plate and there was no space left. 2) We asked if we could pay an up charge for sweet potato fries, which are on their menu. They declined. These aren't huge deals, but they were surprising, and not in a nice way. I know the clientele they're aiming towards, and I know I'm not a part of that group. Still, I might consider coming again if I'm craving wings. I also want to try their toppoki, but we'll see if that ever happens. read more

PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS IF YOU HAVE ANY ALLERGIES! Half the menu has English, but one entire side is just Chinese. On the menu, it doesnt specify that there are peanuts in it anywhere, the worker said there was, but it was the word for potato. The service is horrible, food was alright. They have candles on this tray but doesn't even do anything. read more

I wish this place offers more side dishes, especially greens to neutralize the greasiness of the chicken. read more

Saw this on IG and developed a fried chicken craving, so decided to check the place out. Located at the Midland and Finch plaza with QQ Thai ice cream, Chatime, etc. Came here with mom and bro. Menu was pretty restrictive. The DM hot plate, which assumingly was what they are known for, had limited sizes with the smallest one starting at $38.88. Because we wanted the hot plate (this is what I came for), we were forced to pick that and be left with little else to choose from. (IMO they should have smaller sizes to cater to smaller groups if the DM hotplate is their specialty. Great way to force an upsell.) Also, the menu did not have a lot of English descriptions so you'll most likely have to ask the waiter for clarification on what it is you are ordering. For example, the English description would literally just say the name of the item, e.g. "5 DM", while the Chinese description clearly calls out ingredients such as rice cake, carrots, etc. I can sorta read Chinese so it isn't a big issue for me. Just calling out the concern for people who can't read Chinese and may have allergies or adverse to certain ingredients. We ordered the hot plate which came with Korean style spicy chicken. Came with salad, fries and unlimited rice. It wasn't bad but I've had better sauces at Korean restaurants. Overall the novelty of the hot plate is really what you're paying for. Also got fried chicken on the side and at the end of it that was way too much food. Saw many tables leaving food behind because the portions were too much. So should you try this place? Definite yes if the following apply to you: A) Your motive is to Instagram the hot plate B) You're with a large group (so that you can really try everything and not feel like you're wasting food) Otherwise, it's an okay choice if you're looking for chicken. read more

Pretty good Korean fried chicken, stays pretty Krispy even for take out which I like. Fries however could be crisper I found them to be a bit soggy but your coming here for the chicken. I tried the cheesy chicken which is slightly sweet and salty. read more

Bad service, bad food and don't ever never go there... It's not real Korean food. Food is just warm.... Extremely bad service.... read more

Food is plated in a tray with lighted tea candle underneath. Chicken are not much mixed in together with rice cakes ..potatoes.. Garlic.. In sauce with spicy levels you want. I got the midium, i would say its hot enough. Service is not too good. 3 or 4 server trying hard to look away from table to avoid my table. read more

Food was just meh, price is on the expensive side for the quality of food. The most disappointing part of this dining experience is the temperature in the restaurant. It was tooooooo HOT! With the candles they have under the plate, it is simply unbearable. Will never come again read more

great taste, the fired chicken wings are amaziing and the sauces are so good. the portion ia huge. liked it A lot
