First time visiting this The Fry location, I remember this location many years ago as a Chinese food takeout location back in my younger years. Nice renovations and what they've done to the place. We had a dine in dinner meal here tonight and ordered Combo 2 which consists of selecting either bone in or boneless chicken and the option to select two different flavours. As well as one Rose Ricecake. We also ordered a side of French fries and onion rings to go with our meal. I particularly liked how each table had its own tablet device to place your order. This allowed me time to view the menu items which had pictures of each item and customization options.

The first two words that come to my mind when craving Korean fried chicken.... The Fry. This chain has grown to several locations and is now in Scarborough. This small restaurant is located in the main intersection of Sheppard Ave East and Birchmount Rd. This restaurant is located in a gas station plaza. There is parking in the rear as well as the side. When we entered, there were no customers, so we were seated right away. The decor has nice modern and hip decor. The chairs are upholstered, and the tables are solid laminated wood. The menu is pretty simple food on one side and bar menu on the other. We ordered the following items: 1. Green onion fried chicken bone-in $39.99 2. Crispy calamari $12.99 3. Coors light bottle $5.59 The large fried chicken came with cabbage salad with thousand island dressing, pickled daikon, and sizzling plate of corn. For $39.99, it's enough chicken to feed a family of 4. The crispy calamari was addictive and perfectly fried and not too oily. There's a thai chili dipping sauce to go with the calamari. I would have preferred a garlic aioli dipping sauce. Overall a great meal and plenty of left overs. The service wasn't the greatest and we were the only dine-in customers yet we kind of felt neglected and we had to wave down the server to get us refill of banchan. I would definitely recommend coming back here. Their KFC is juicy and delicious.

Supreme Chicken

Scarborough location is very small, but that doesn't mean it's bad. The waitress is more attentive since it's a smaller restaurant. The chicken is awesome. It's a good place to go if you want to try Korean Fried Chicken. Their portions are half or a full chicken, so be prepared spend. Flavours are classic. Nothing really stood out that's original in my opinion. However I'd still recommend to try The Fry. Rose tteokbokki was good and my favourite. Price = $$

Galbi fried chicken

Came for dinner on a Sunday night and it was not very busy inside. There were lots of take out orders. The door opens right into the restaurant so every time the door opens, it made sitting at the table very cold so had to keep our coats on while eating. You order through a tablet at the table so it was very easy. We ordered the combo which was half and half with up to 2 flavours of fried chicken to select and type of fries to select. We chose bone in soy garlic chicken and the galbi (add$1). For the fries, we chose the garlic butter fries (add $1). It also came with sides of pickled radish, corn and salad. The garlic butter fries were excellent and very tasty. The soy garlic chicken was good and fried perfectly. The galbi fried chicken was sweeter and stickier. Taste was good and the chicken was fried well.

The Fry is a popular chain. This location in particular had a bit of lag time due to the establishment operating only on one server. The food is still good, but I noticed that the quality and how they make the chicken sauces/toppings differ from my visits to different locations. All things considered, the space itself is quite small, so it will definitely feel more cozy in nature. Some of the combos/sides here are lacking in comparison to other locations (ex: Mac and Cheese as a side).

Honey spicy fried chicken
Philip L.

Food is good at this The Fry location. Even though this store is small with not many seats, limited parking space, weirdly located right at a gas station, totally worth it to visit here for their great Korean dishes, I think. Rosé Sauce Rice Cake with Glass Noodle. Interesting texture from the rice cake that matches well with their glass noodle. Combined well with bacon, ham, onion, smoky sausage, and top it up with the nicely made rosé sauce. Sweet, chewy, bouncy, nutmeg, blended with a mild smoky flavor. Serves in a hot pan. Perfecto. A solid 10/10. Half-n-half Korean fried chicken. Not bad. First off, Honey Spicy. Too much heat over the honey sweetness. One star deducted. Next off, The Original Taste. Okay, not bad. Well blended sauce with the chicken. However, the white meat are too dry compare to other typical Korean fried chicken places. Another star deducted. Nice server. $60 for 3 people, tax and tips all inclusive. It is a good deal. Quick and easy Korean meal on a Friday night that never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, run around, and desert you. One star comes back and give us an overall 4 out of 5. Recommended. Try it out next time when you want Korean fried chicken.

The Fry is my favourite Korean fried chicken chain, and it's great that they have this new location in Scarborough! We came on a relatively quiet Wednesday night and were seated quickly! Service was friendly and attentive, there was only one waitress working that night but everything was brought to us quickly and smoothly. We got the special half and half chicken with secret savoury sauce and galbi sauce. I found the chicken at this location even better than the others, the inside/meat was extra juicy/moist while retaining that crispy saucy exterior. We also wanted to order some flavoured soju, but at the time of writing (2022-09-07) they haven't gotten their liquor licence yet. All in all, this is my favourite The Fry location and I look forward to coming back for more delicious food (and hopefully drinks soon too)!

The fry never disappoints ! Decided to try something different this time. Ordered their Green Onion Chicken (Small), Original Crispy Fried Chicken (Small), Cheese Powdered Fries, and Deep Fried Seaweed Rolls. For two people we definitely over ordered ... seating is rather limited.. we waited about 30 minutes for a seat which in my opinion isn't too bad for a weekend. Food didn't take too long either after placing our order which I was very pleased with. My first time trying their Cheese Powder Fries... excuse my language but holy they were addicting !! Overall it was an amazing meal. We know for next time to not order so much .. I highly recommend checking them out . . .

My favourite Korean fried chicken spot, it's super crunchy and their rice cakes are also so yummy with some glass noodles!

Everything that we got (wrong order! Wrong flavour!)
Nikki Y.

Ordered take out over the phone at 11:10pm (they close at 1am) we went in to pay and told her we got combo 1, she asked me if I wanted to turn it into combo 1?? why wouldn't a normal person want to save $2 just to consider it a "combo" even though we've ordered exactly everything in combo 1 after a 25mins wait, she forgot our fries and ran out to give it to us (which is great but), she got our order wrong and gave us half original and half spicy instead of the garlic soy flavour I ordered. I tried to call them multiple times but they purposely didn't answer my calls. I expect a refund. We ordered half and half with small fries and coke for $45.74 +tip. 10% off for cash

July 21 - Spicy Rice Cakes
Ann B.

July 21 - I'm so happy that The Fry is very close by. They never disappoint! Only one thing I wish they had was the milky yogurt soju (not sure if that is the right name) but I've only seen it at one location, which was downtown (cries). The cheese powder fries are amazing, definitely will have to go back sometime soon for dinner. I ordered Cheese Powdered Fries and Spicy Rice Cake 5/5.

Stapler sim in the chicken

Terrible experience on Christmas. I ordered chicken via uber and it took around 1hour and a half. It was okay since I knew that the staff would be very busy today. But the chicken I received is cold and has stapler sim like the picture. I called the staff and they aplogized. But I don't want to order again..

The food here is really good

Came here for lunch with my hubby, we ordered the Monday special and gumjatang. The restaurant is…read morequite spacious with tables and some private rooms. After we placed our order, they serve us caa cup of hot somen (so good), it warms your stomach. Later the meals came with 5 banchan, they all seasoned perfectly, my favorite is the lotus root and Kimchi. Slice pork broth soup lightly salted and comes with 2 dips (mini sauce pot) on aside, personal preference would be gochujiang mix on the right which gives you a punch of spice. It's hard to find good Korean restaurant in Markham/scarborough. This is definitely a hidden gem, will definitely come back with the boys.

The fans they were running helped a little but we were still pretty uncomfortable throughout our meal. Not a great start. We shared seafood pancake, japchae, budae jjigae, stir-fried soondae, bossam and katsu for the kids. Although most of our orders were pretty good, our katsu came doused in the katsu sauce which we asked our server to leave out. They offered to make a new one, but by this point we were all pretty hungry and wanted to get on with our meal, so we just took it with the sauce. I didn't like their kimchi as it was way too sour to be used as banchan. Other sides were also just average, with no stand outs in execution or flavour. Although the food was ok, our visit was just ho hum. Not sure if I would return to eat here again.

A Friend came to visit and watch the new Demonslayer movie. So we brought them here for a pre movie…read moredinner as they never had something like this. Service 10/10 - today they had 3-4 waiters/waitresses working so there was always somebody coming in to check if things needed refills. Our waiter (sorry the name is escaping me.) was a newer parttime worker but was providing us 10 out of 10 service!! Food - 10/10 we got alot more sides than normal today for our friends to try. The tteokbokki was nice and had a deep flavor. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Rice balls was nice and soaked up the tteokbokki sauce. This time we got the half half with spicy bossam and Bbq jokbal. They were both really good flavors. The store had kpop playing at a moderate volume. But we had no issues chating away while sipping on soju. Definitely recommend!

We love how the sides are refillable but I don't think we ever ask for refills more than twice as the portion is so generous. Hanyang Jokbal has always been consistently good, and it's why we always come back. The portion of food is always plenty, the taste is unmatched and the sides are delicious. While the food took some time it was understandable as it was very busy. The waiter was very apologetic about the wait. In terms of the interior, it's just one more thing that makes this place such a good dining option. The interior makes you feel like you're not in Toronto. While it does get quite loud, I think it just shows how much people are enjoying the food and the vibe. Hanyang Jokbal is definitely a must!

We came to this area because my husband was going to try the restaurant next to this one, but they…read moreonly have hot pot. So we came to this one for Korean food. After we ordered the traditional Pork Bone Soup and Seafood pancake, the nice app dishes came fast. The corns was sweet and the Kimchi was good as I like the way. I like Kimchi so much. The pork bone soup looked small, but it was still big to us with a bowl of rice, they only offered jasmine rice not the traditional brown rice or black rice. That's a bit disappointed. The Seafood pancake was really fulfilling. They only had shrimp and squid with some green onions. The pancake was cut in slices and actually really full feeling. We felt too full to have extra stuff.

Tonkatsu was okay, a bit in the dry side. It came with small side of rice and cabbage salad, along with some danmuji. Beef dumplings were nothing to write home about. The Mapo gamjatang tofu was underwhelming. The meat was super tender and plentiful, tofu is soft, but the overall flavour was lacking and even though it stated on the menu it was spicy, had no spice. They gave us some banchan to start, I really loved their kimchi, but everything else was just okay. Server was really nice, but she was talking on her earbuds the whole time.

Was wandering around the plaza and ended up at this cute little eatery where ookinza use to reside…read more The decor inside gives off Japanese vibes serving up Korean dishes. The decor is from the previous store I think called maki momo? The dine in is counter seating. The taste is definitely not your typical Korean soup spices but the pork bone was definitely fall off the bone and tender which some Korean places serve it very dry. The spicy fish and veggie soup was also different as the fish used I believe it's snakehead where other places usually have that thick cut white fish which is meh. So I really enjoyed it. Definitely don't set the expectation as authentic Korean dishes for these two dishes in terms of taste because it's quite different. The pork bone soup had a lot of garlic in it but something about the soup base gave me sukiyaki flavours. The fish soup was slightly different as well but also can't narrow down what it reminds me off but that one gave some Chinese spin to it. Although different I'd say it's unique and good in their own way, I'd go back for their grilled meat options next time. For service there is a girl who takes your order and also the one that brings you food and periodically comes by to check on you. Very friendly. Lastly, you can purchase a membership for a year for $10 and it's basically half price on their prices. -Totally worth it.

Really good food for the price and amount , more chinese leaning flavors rather than korean.read more
