Another one of those stay-light-before-the-movie meals, and we decided to check out Kore Chicken nearby. We went for the lunch special and tried Original, Soy Garlic, and Spicy Butter Chicken, with fries tossed in Honey Butter seasoning for one of the sets. I had no idea what to expect walking in, and was honestly surprised to learn they use air fryers here. Now, taste-wise, let's be real. I've had better fried chicken elsewhere and yes, there are spots that push a bit more in quality. But here's the catch: at this price point, it's rather impossible to complain. Sure, the sauce toss was lazy, and a few bites were a bit on the funky-smelling side, but it all somehow landed within the range of "worth it." Fries were a lot crispier than expected, and so was the batter. Air fried or not, the texture really surprised me. It's weirdly satisfying. Getting into the place was also a bit awkward for a first-timer, but I'll chalk that up to the building's layout, not the restaurant's fault. Overall, it's one of those spots that feels like a random find, and turns out a lot better than you gave it credit for at first. No complaints here, and honestly hope they stick around. I wouldn't mind coming back when craving something easy and affordable that still hits the spot!
One of the best Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) in town! Once you've tried this, probably you won't want to go back to those fried chicken chain stores. Crunchy skin with moist meat inside. Absolutely tasty. Great selections on their menu. To me, the honey butter is one of the best from here. Totally worth paying extra for a great meal like this. Remember to call and order pickup unless you have a good deal on UberEats. Indoor parking lot behind the store, which could get busy sometimes.
Finally had the chance to try Kore chicken. Has spicy Korean chicken with honey butter fries and soft drink lunch special. Good value. Lots of sauce. Sauce could be thicker to stay on the chicken. Chicken is air fried not deep fried which is nice. However it does lead to less crisp I recommend
So this review will be interesting. Let's start off w/ location. You literally have to enter the store from the parking garage! My gf and I walked around the outside of Langham Square only to be redirected around the corner to their "indoor" entrance. The store itself is literally a small unit but the interior has marble tiles and a tv screen playing kpop. There's an L shaped table for anyone who wants to dine-in. That's it. The owner (I think?) was the one who took our order. He was super friendly and really busy with takeout orders (constantly on the phone haha). We ordered half and half chicken with an order of dumplings on the side. For the chicken we got honey garlic and mild korean seasoning (basically yangnyeom sauce). For the dumplings we got honey butter which was a flavour powder the dumplings were coated in. We waited around 20 min for our food after ordering? So we knew the food would be fresh. I've air fried chicken at home before and while the skin is crispy if you don't sauce it, I thought this chicken would have soggy skin after being sauced. I was dead wrong about that. The skin was still pretty damn crispy even after being sauced. The dumplings were really tasty (I've always been more of a pork dumpling guy rather than a chicken dumpling guy but these were nice). I do think the edges of the wrapper were slightly over fried (they were brittle lol). Now, does air-fried chicken beat regular korean deep-fried chicken? Nope. So while the taste is more of a 4 star rather than a 5 star, the place gets an overall 5 star because the price is A LOT cheaper than the other KFC joints I frequent (Home of Hot Taste, Mr. Chimaek, The Fry, BB.q Chicken are all more expensive). Bonus: Since the chicken is air-fried you're consuming significantly less calories which was the whole point I guess? Would definitely be open to returning in the future!
A nice causal place to get some Korean fried chicken. They air fry their chicken so it is a little healthier and I definitely feel less guilty eating the whole plate by myself. Though, personally if I'm going out to eat fried chicken I would prefer deep fried as it's crisper and juicier. I also think the chicken sizes could be bigger as there were two drumsticks, some small end pieces that felt like they were halved. I did however really liked their selection of sauces. We ordered the honey butter and Korean seasoning. Both sauces were very flavorful and covered the chicken nicely without being too much. However, the honey butter got a little heavy after a while so I probably would only recommend this flavour if you're sharing. It also came with some pickled radish as a side dish, which was so refreshing after all that chicken! Overall, a decent place to grab a quick "healthier" meal and/or takeout especially during their lunch promos!
Great chicken and reasonably priced. Two orders of wings took about 15 minutes. Sole staff member there was friendly and efficient. There are a few tables and seats there. The space was clean and neat-appearing. They do offer lunch specials, so that may be more cost effective. Street parking in nearby area.
I can't remember what two flavors we ordered since it's been some time but both were tasty and the chicken so tender and juicy! The gentleman working in there was kind and efficient. They make their (Korean Fried) chicken in a Cuisinart Air Fryer toaster oven (the same kind we have it home) so it's pretty funny but amazing that they can make it taste and cook so well in a home appliance. Each order of chicken comes with a small side of pickled radish. The location is small and does have one or two tables inside so you can dine in if a table is available but this is a place where most come for take-out. It is located at Langham Square right on South Unionville Avenue. You can park right outside on the street if available or you can park in the covered parking lot. I would highly recommend this place!!!
We were craving fried chicken and happened upon this wonderful neighbourhood place. I didn't get the pleasure of meeting the owner lady but I did meet a wonderful gentleman. We had called ahead of time and placed our order for the half and half. We got the original and the Korean seasoned (spicy). The shop was a little hard to find in the enclosed parking structure but so long as you're heading towards south unionville you would find it no problem. They had cleared all the tables due to the current restrictions and made for a spacious welcoming area. The sign for 10% off for paying cash is still very much there! He was very prompt with providing us the order, freshly taking it out of the oven. We were in and out in very quickly. The smell of the chicken was amazing. Just as everyone else had said there's less breading on these which made them even more amazing. The airfry makes it less fat too! It had a beautiful crunch on both recipes. The korean seasoned spicy was just chefs kiss. The balance of sweet and spicy with just the right amount of sauce! The original came with a bbq sauce and was delectable in its own rite. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back!
First time trying this place after many good reviews. It didn't disappoint me, we order regular, cheese, Korean style and soy combo. Combo comes with rice, miso soup and pickled turnip in generous portion. We like cheese the best. Will definitely come back. Note: we are some chicken pcs before taking pictures, too yummy.
Been here a few times for take out and I love that they cut a hole in each box so it let's all the steam out. The chicken is air fried, which makes it a great choice if you're looking for fried chicken, but don't like an intense amount of oil. The chicken is consistently moist. We've tried a few flavors including the honey garlic, soy sauce, Korean and cheesy. I think honey garlic is our winner, but it does get very sweet so be prepared to share! Personally, I don't like how thick the batter is. It's just too much on there. And it's incredibly heavy food, despite not being deep fried in oil. I appreciate the pickled radish side, but I think having more greens on the menu might be better. Service here has always been great. Really friendly owners! They also give you gloves for take out so you can avoid a big mess on your hands. I think maybe it's more environmentally friendly to ask if people need it or offer non-plastic utensils... Just something to cut down on the plastic. Overall a great place to go if you're craving Korean fried chicken and decent pricing.
I was introduced to this after I mentioned to my cousin that I was craving fried chicken. He told me this was place was using air fryer to make their chicken but it's super crispy and really good. After all that, I had high expectations for this place. as I entered the store and realized they had half and half, I ordered that one right away as I wanted to try more than one flavour. I ended up ordering the half Korean seasoned and half honey butter. The Koran seasoned was spicy and had a really nice taste, it was also super crispy despite being layered with sauce on top. The honey butter was also really good! For the price of $28 , as they are doing a promo of 10% off with cash. I think it's quite worth i as their chicken is not small pieces , they are legitimately a decent size unlike other places. The owners are super friendly and nice and kept apologizing that it's going to be 10-15 min wait, even though, they already mentioned this when I ordered! P.S I went a second time and the experience and food was just as good as the first time. This time I had my boyfriend try it and even he thinks it's good and he's not a foodie at all!
I rarely give 5 stars but this is a definite fave! Can't believe I haven't already written a review for them. Discovered them a couple of years ago at the beginning of the pandemic and honestly, one of my fave and go to meals. Air fried Korean style fried chicken - so delicious! Love that the chicken has a nice crunch still and the meat is still tender and not dry. My fave and go to flavor is the soy garlic. It is so flavorful with such a nice kick. Love how you can eat a few pieces without feeling super full and heavy like regular fried chicken. Doesn't have that greasy feeling since it's air fried. I'd pick this over Popeyes any day (I can eat more with less guilt!) Also enjoy ordering their air fried dumplings as a side. Some may find them a tad on the dry side but I order them every time. They also always give you an extra piece or two of chicken which is always nice. 100% support this small business! Food is delicious and they're so friendly.
This is a great local gem that you have to visit if you're looking for Korean fried chicken, and don't want to feel too guilty eating it Located in Langham Square, you can access the restaurant from the garage or the entrance near South Unionville Ave. Their menu offers a selection of different flavoured KFC, however there is no bone out option. This isn't an issue because the bone is fairly small, and each piece of chicken is big. What makes Kore special is that each order of chicken is air fried, and not deep fried like other places. The chicken is still very crispy on the outside, and yet juicy inside- it's a perfect harmony. I highly recommend coming to Kore Chicken if you're looking to support local, and for delicious KFC

Gave this place a try with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed the Fried Chicken! The store is run by a really sweet lady who gave us 6 pieces when we ordered 5 :') We got the Soy Garlic and Korean Seasoned flavours and both were great! Also the lunch special deal is really worth it and they offer free preserved radish on the side! I'm already looking forward to my next visit :) read more

Came here for lunch and ordered their lunch combo with five pieces of chicken and a drink. My brother ordered the two pieces original chicken with the udon. Portions pretty big and the chicken was very juicy. We asked the owner if the soy garlic sauce was spicy and she said no but it is actually kind of spicy to us (maybe we were just weak). Definitely will come again ! read more

Amazing Delicious chicken!!!! Chicken was so moist and tender perfectly cooked. Tried the spicy seasoned chicken, cheese chicken and the honey garlic. All were very different and tasty! Deff recommended the spicy and cheese. MUST TRY. The spicy chicken is just the right amount of spice, not too spicy at all. I'm not into sweet honey garlic chicken but this one was great! The service was wonderful there was only one person working/cash, she was so kind and sweet and very efficient. 10/10 read more

Small little place but cute. We parked in the garage and there is direct access from the garage. There's not many seats but it wasn't too busy, only 1 or 2 other pairs of customers. We ordered the spicy Korean chicken and the cheesy chicken (both in medium) and each were $15. You get 8 pieces of chicken per dish for medium, ranging in size. 8 pieces is definitely a big meal, my hubby had about 7 pieces and I had about 4-5 myself before feeling very stuffed. The spicy chicken was nice and saucy just how I like it, but I definitely would have enjoyed it even more if it were spicier. The cheesy chicken had lots of cheese melted and then a cheesy sauce drizzle over it. The crispiness of the chicken is different from the usual oil fried chicken - like other yelpers mentioned, it doesn't feel as heavy or greasy. We were surprised about how crispy and crunchy each piece was actually lol since it's air fried. It also comes with radish on the side which is delicious (if you're into that kind of pickled side dishes). We asked for extra radish because they had initially offered when we got our food. Also the lady working there is so nice! She's there by herself taking the order and then making the food, and she had a friendly smile the entire time. read more

Decided to give this new place a try. Great chicken and healthier too as it's air fried. Owner is really nice as well. Not that many tables so we'll probably do take out next time. read more

Came here for lunch. It is a little hard to find. It is on the outside of the plaza but you can also access it through the underground parking. We got the soy garlic and cheese chicken. The nice friendly man behind the counter recommended those and the honey butter chicken. We also got the honey butter dumplings as a curiosity. We got the lunch special which is a small and well worth it. The chicken was very crispy which is impressive for an air fryer and since it was air fried it didn't have any oil. The chicken itself was good. No extra fats and meat looked healthy. The inside was completely fried and white. The honey butter dumpling is a chicken dumpling with what tasted like mint and maple syrup inside and then sugar and garlic salt on the outside. It was good and interesting in flavour. Not for everyone though. Overall I recommend this place. read more
