    After eating NeNe Chicken for so many years, I just found out that "NeNe" (네네) actually means "YES! YES!" in Korean! It's a famous fried chicken chain in Korea, perfect for late-night cravings or sharing with friends They've got so many flavours like Swicy (sweet & spicy), Soy Garlic, Hot Bling, and Snowing Cheese We tried the Snowy Chilli this time, and it's so tasty! Super crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, love it

    NeNe is my go-to Korean chicken spot. This is my first time visiting this location, and it didn't disappoint! Staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered Nene combo that comes with 1 medium chicken + Tteokboki/beef/pork + shake shake fries + 2 soda ($36 weekdays / &39 weekends) That was pretty good portion, and we had leftovers that was a full meal for next day lunch. Fried chicken was crispy and juicy as always. My favourite is the cheese power one, but the onion cream(?) one that mu friend ordered was pretty good too! Shake Shake fries were very crispy and perfectly seasoned with cheese powder (honestly not so sure exactly what it is.. tasted like cheese powder that is subtle sweet and light salty flavour, which was perfect for beer snack) If you like Korean food, this is a pretty good deal with generous portion. There were some kind of art drawings everywhere inside of this store!

    We had trouble getting the servers attention several times but he did bring the food out in a timely manner. The chicken and oysters were so crunchy, and the japchae was piping hot. I honestly would come to eat the oysters (they were 10.95 for 8 pieces and they were pretty small, but we got them 50% off because of the google review discount promo so it was pretty worth it) This is a casual Korean fried chicken joint where you can order drinks if you wanted to, lots of wide booths at this particular location. The times I've come for takeout was rather empty so I'm hoping more people visit this place because it's pretty good.

    When I hear the name Nene, it always reminds me of the former Brazilian NBA player, Nene Hilario. Of course, Nene Chicken has Korean origins, so no affiliation to Brazil nor the player. Nene simply means, Yes! Yes! in Korean. So was the experience a nene or an aniyo? I'd say it's somewhere in between. Based on what we ordered, it was good value. Because I went with my older one, we ordered the Pokémon combo for two which included a mid size Korean fried chicken, a serving of bulgogi, lots of fries, two cans of pop and a Pokémon model toy. The fried chicken was alright. We opted for the sweet and spicy flavour that only had one chilly on the spiciness index. Even for me, it was extremely mild. The batter was solid, but there were parts of the chicken that was a bit overcooked. The bulgogi was quite sweet and I felt like it's a version that I can easily make at home with your run of the mill grocery store bought bulgogi sauce. Despite a large portion, the fries were as generic as you can get. They feel like the cheapest fries that were available from the frozen food aisle. Since they started the combo in late August, they only have one variety of Pokémon model left. I don't blame them for that. Consider the model toy typically retail at around $12-15, like I said before, the combo offered good value. Based on this experience, if I have an urge for some Korean fried chicken, I know Nene would not be the first place I think of. If you must try the chicken place with 1000 locations across South Korea, go for it. But, as with most chained restaurant in Canada, you are not missing out a whole lot if you don't.

    I heard about Nene Chicken from a YouTube video. Apparently it's a well-known Korean fried chicken restaurant. I noticed it when I visited the plaza recently as it replaced the Katsuya restaurant. On weekdays, there is a lunch special but it only includes a few dishes. I wanted to see what all the rave was about, so I ordered the Korean fried chicken. I also ordered the oysters because that's one of my favorite dishes. The oysters arrived first. It came with a mayo dipping sauce. I thought the oysters were cooked quite well and the mayo was a perfect complement. The Korean fried chicken was really good. Not only were they able to get the chicken skin lightly crispy, but the inside was juicy. It was the best of both worlds, move over KFC! I brought some of the chicken home and although it ended up a bit soggy at dinner time, that was rectified with 7 minutes of air frying. Overall I thought the food was good and the service was friendly and inviting.

    Inside is so cute the booths are nice it's like a little hut, staff were very friendly! Food was good a lot of items were shareable among 5 people originally we were told 2 people can share a dish but we were able to share between 5 people and it was filling. For the corn cheese it got cold fast, it would have been nice it was on the sizzling plate to keep warm. The fried chicken was was served in good portions Was not a fan of the shack shack fries Overall I would still recommend this spot if your in the Vaughan mills area

    Nene Chicken is our go to spot for delicious Korean Fried Chicken near Vaughan Mills! The restaurant is spacious and cozy and their staff is friendly. It is located in a plaza offering plenty of parking spots. We tried their snowing cheese fried chicken, Beef Bulgogi, corn cheese, Shake Shake fries and Kimchi Fried Rice. I definitely recommend these dishes if you haven't tried already.

    A wonderful experience through and through. Delicious food and lovely hosts. It was super packed and loud but we still really enjoyed it here!! Service was quick and they were super friendly. This very much reminded me of the downtown location I've been to before for a yelp event. Absolutely loved it.

    Welcoming employees and a clean, nice ambiance. This is the newest Korean fried chicken spot in Vaughan Mills Plaza. Generous portions for great value--$38.99 for two medium chickens, with an additional $2 to mix flavors. I recommend the spicy flavor, known for its popular sweet and spicy sauce! (Not that spicy!) They currently have several promotions, including 50% off snack and a combo deal for $49 that includes multiple appetizers, medium chicken, and beer!

    From the outside you wouldn't know it's as cute inside as it is. The server was very friendly and super helpful in helping us decide what to get. We shared the Kimchi friend rice and boneless chicken. We were able to do half and half with the flavor and we chose Swicy and Soy Garlic. They both were very good! The rice was delicious. Definitely recommend. You do pay for the quality but it was yummy.

    Box so full!

    We really like Korean Fried Chicken and get it from time to time, but we have "our place" that we always go to so I was excited/a bit worried when my partner suggested we get fried chicken and said "Let's try Nene". We ordered takeout and the experience was great. The staff who took our order over the phone and helped us with the pickup in store were both very pleasant and were able to handle our request no problem. This is a new location and it was small but very nice and clean, with about 10 tables. There's no designated pickup spot but because the restaurant is so small it was easy to get served. We ordered the family size fried chicken (always bone-in!) with spicy sauce on the side. This is our strategy to ensure that when we get it home the chicken is not soggy. The box we received was so full it was bulging and smelled great. Really loved the Canada Day themed art on the box! We got it home in about 15 minutes and the chicken was still very crispy and piping hot. The sauce was tasty but more on the sweet side rather than spicy. A bit different than what I'm used to but still good. Overall, it was great and I wouldn't hesitate to order Korean fried chicken from Nene Chicken again.

    Their chicken meat was fresh, no strange smell like what I had in the other Korean fried chicken…read moreshop. It was cooked juicy and tender inside and crispy outside. The red marble sauce was a bit spicy. The Fresh Chicken Gizzard was good too. The meat was fresh - none of that strange smell I've had at other fried chicken places. It was cooked perfectly - juicy and tender on the inside with the crispy batter on the outside. The Red Marble sauce had a nice kick to it, though a bit spicy. Also tried the Fried Chicken Gizzard and it was good. Service was very good. The staff was attentive and took their time explaining the different flavours. Their seating area is clean and convenient. Overall it's a solid spot for Korean fried chicken if you're in the area.

    Located in the same buzzing Vaughan plaza filled with great food options, this Korean fried chicken…read morechain is quickly gaining popularity and for good reason. With new locations popping up across the city, this spot delivers crispy, flavour-packed chicken with a few fun twists that set it apart. We tried two flavours: Honey Brown and Snowing Cheese Honey Brown: saucy, sweet, and addictive. Think of it as a more elevated version of honey garlic with a deeper, richer flavour. Snowing Cheese: A drier option, but equally delicious, coated in a light cheesy powder that adds a savoury punch without being overpowering. A great option is to get the half & half, which lets you try both flavours in one order; perfect for indecisive eaters or sharing with friends. Each order also comes with pickled radish, a classic Korean fried chicken side that helps balance out the richness, and even includes pieces of tteokbokki (Korean rice cakes) mixed in with the chicken, which was a fun and satisfying surprise. While we didn't get to try their full range of sides or tteokbokki dishes, there were several tempting options on the menu that we'll definitely come back for. Service was friendly and welcoming, and to top it off, we even received a free reusable tote bag with our visit, a small but thoughtful gesture that added to the positive experience. Pro tip: If you're doing takeout, they offer online ordering which makes the process smooth and convenient. Parking is plentiful in the plaza, which is another bonus if you're driving. Overall, if you're in the area and craving crispy, flavourful Korean fried chicken, this spot is a solid pick. Great food, good vibes, and easy access; definitely recommend it!

    First time here base on daughter's request from seeing on social media…read more Tried this location as it is not a restaurant style but located in Longos grocery store. Different system but works as their is also a few tables to eat at if not take out back to be eaten. Order - 30 crew pack which 30 pieces of chicken with up to 3 flavours, upgraded regular fries to voodoo fries, veggie (sticks which were carrot and celery) and 3 dips which we selected ranch. Plus 3 bottles of drinks. Total to be about $85 Service - self serve with multiple screens available to place order request, flavours, sides and drinks to be selected. Then paid via credit card or debit with machine available. Given a number on the receipt to bring out and contacted once done for pick up. Text msg sent to phone as number is required upon orders placed that order is processed and text received once order is ready. Can do grocery shopping and pick up after which is convenient. Ambience - clean and organized from Clare's to place order to pick up counter. However the few tables available to eat at on site is not managed or cleaned but self cleaned by patrons. Food - had voodoo fries which was good and had some spice kick to it. Had the boneless chicken with the following flavours: hickory smoked BBQ which was my least favourite. Just drowned in BBQ sauce that was too sweet. Lemon pepper which was good but it was not lemon pepper dry but lemon sauce or juice poured over the pepper chicken that had it soggy if not eaten quickly. Honey garlic which was everyone in the families favourite. Ranch dip was watery for the veggie dip It was average and premium for paid for but it is about convenience too complete grocery shop if needed.

    I wanna start off be saying that have gotten take-out from here before, it's always been 50/50…read moreeither hit or miss, but today was an absolute disgrace. We picked up our order at 7:45, an hour 15 before they close, so maybe they put our food together in a rush and gave us the last remains off the day. Firstly, all the food was placed in upside down containers, this made the salad dressing spill out of the container and into the bag, onto the other food containers. Secondly, when my sister bit into the very hard bread, her mouth was immediately filled with oil!!! So disgusting she nearly threw up, we checked the other pieces of bread and when squeezed, there were all oozing with oil (phots attached). One of the most disgusting things I have ever seen come from a restaurant. Lastly, the yuka frita was not only super greasy, but it seems as it they gave us both clumps of yuka, as well as the remains from the bottom of the fryer (photo included). The only reason we didn't go back and return the food was because we live in downtown Toronto. When contacting them directly via email, Alvaro, who I would hope is management, responded rather defensively, and came off as rude, rather than just simply giving an apology. I am not one to post reviews ever, but the mix of bad food and poor service has brought me here. If you want to eat here, take a gamble, it's a 50/50 chance that you get edible food.

    If you enjoy Popeye's chicken sandwich, then you're going to LOVE Mary Brown's chicken sandwich…read more It's hands-down my favourite chicken sandwich right now. The chicken they use is perfectly cooked and moist and the batter is so light and crispy. They even put a pickle slice on the top of the bun like it's a crown (or more like a tiara). Speaking of the bun, MB also gets this right with their soft and cushiony bun that melts in your mouth with the succulent chicken. Honestly, this is one of the best burger buns ive had in a while! I bought a couple of their chicken sandwiches for $4.99 each as their Monday special. Another customer was mentioning how their special used to be $3.99. That's inflation for ya. I also tried their 2 piece combo with potato wedges (on a different day. I'm not a pig). The 2 piece was really tasty however not as mind blowing as their chicken sandwich IMO. Their wedges are actually amazing with their high amounts of powder seasoning. It's like the Doritos of wedges when it comes to more seasoning. The insides were potatoey which was a nice contrast when chewed with the crispy flavourful exterior. This is a fairly new location. I'm surprised no one reviewed them yet. They're located in the Longo's plaza, across the street from McDonalds.

Ambiance is casual, interior is clean, and service is fast and attentive. We ordered a couple of dishes and they all came out relatively quickly. The banchan (small side dishes) are refillable once only. My favourite banchan of the day were the bean sprouts and eggplant. There were lots of vegetarian and vegan options, such as the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, Vegetables Bibimbap, Mushrooms Bibimbap, Vegetables Udon, Vegetables Fried Rice, Kimchi Pancake, Soondubu-jjigae (Soft Tofu Stew) in different variations, and more. The menu was pretty extensive, covering the most typical Korean dishes from the stews and grilled items, to a few Korean-Chinese dishes (such as Jajangmyeon) and everything in between. Steamed Vegetables Dumplings were quite small individually, but came in a sizeable portion. I liked the green onion garnish. Taste-wise, they were alright. Vegetables Bibimbap was excellent - good amount of mixed vegetables (spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, carrot strips, lettuce, bean sprouts) and the fried egg was perfectly crispy on the outer edges, with a still gooey and runny yolk. Grilled Croaker was also decent. It had a lot of small bones as it was a whole fish. It came served with purple rice, and we chose to add on extra lettuce. Seafood Knife Cut Noodles came in a big portion - with lots of slippery, thick udon noodles, pieces of seafood (mussels, clams, squid, shrimps, octopus), and a little big of vegetables (zucchini, carrot, onion). They came in a nice seafood-infused broth - perfect for a cold winter day. I'd come again for the variety of menu items they offer (especially the wide selection of vegetarian options), satisfying tastes, and great & efficient service.
