This review is for an ubereats order. Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken delivered a pretty flavourful and hefty meal. We ordered the Hungry Man combo: a chicken sandwich, 4 chicken drumsticks/wings, and a whole lot of fries. We also ordered an extra sandwich to go with all this. The chicken sandwiches were very crispy and well seasoned. The hot sauce they use is quite spicy and even a medium packs quite a bit of heat. Drumsticks/wings were very similar tasting though it's topped with Wasabi mayo and onions. The fries were a bit soggy but that may be due to the delivery, though it does the job. We also ordered coleslaw but the amount we received was pitiful compared to the price (see picture). Overall, the chicken was pretty good but the sizing of the coleslaw definitely soured my experience. I'd advise against ordering any sides and just go with the chicken sandwiches.
I ordered one of each of their special chicken sandwiches the Nashville and then a Tokyo I am pretty sure I received two of the same sandwiches the Nashville sandwich because they looked identical and they tasted the same the Tokyo sandwich was supposed to come with a ginger slaw and crispy onions and I did not taste or see any ginger or onions on my sandwich so that was a little bit of a letdown because I really wanted to try both of them what I will say it is very unique I have never tasted chicken sandwich like this in my life it had dry spices on it rather than a sauce the chicken was tender but it had a crunch to it but the crunch was empty in some parts of the batter if that makes sense The slaw was good it wasn't too saucy and the pickle was perfect tasted like a pickle LOL overall it's a good chicken sandwich I'm just disappointed that I didn't get to try the other flavor
This review is for a delivery order. When the resource for my go to Korean fried chicken cancelled the delivery unceremoniously I had to switch gear quickly for a backup. This place was bookmarked for a while and with a somewhat quick delivery time frame it was a no brainer. Oh boy did they deliver pun intended. Folks this is the best fried chicken sandwich in the city imo. For starters they use dark meat which is much flavorful imo, nice add on of pickle and red cabbage as well. I really enjoyed the heat kick as well which was balanced with a sweet finish on the bun. A lot of thought has been put into getting this sandwich right so kudos for the effort. I ordered the vegetable gyoza side as was on promo. Decent for what they are. A solid 4 stars and if you covet the best fried chicken sandwich in the city this is it folks.
Hidden gems are rarely this literal. Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken is tucked away on the 5th floor of a building that looks nothing like a food haven. You can either take the elevator or go up 5 flights of stairs to reach a doorway that doesn't at all hint at a place where really good fried chicken can be found. I've been here twice now for lunch with friends, and we are unanimous in our praise of the food and the service. I think the people that run Tokyo understand the limitations of their space and menu, and so go over and above with their friendliness and service (e.g., both times we ordered takeout but decided to eat there; both times they bent over backwards making us feel welcomed with an impromptu table, water, check-ins on how we were finding things, etc) But with me, it's mainly about the food. While I liked their signature Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich (good portion size, nice fry, tasty sauce, but the slaw was limp and stringy, and the bun was too thick), the real hidden star of this place are the boxes. I got the Underground Combo Special, which has basically everything they serve (chicken karaage, Tokyo hot chicken, takoyaki and tofu on a bed of purple rice). The chicken was crispy and "popped" in your mouth (from a flavour and texture perspective), the takoyaki was nice and chewy, the tofu provided a good taste contrast to the chicken, and the purple rice just was a great base to everything. I heard about Tokyo because of the sandwich, but will definitely be coming back for the boxes. Hope this place doesn't stay hidden for long, coz I'd hate to lose out on having more of it!
Had the tokyo fried chicken sandwhich and Japanese poutine. I was expecting the flavors to have a punch but it didn't really. The poutine was a little bit salty and had a bit of a sweet flavor to it. It's nice for a change. Even though this place says that it's halal, it's a legit full bar *face palm. I thought it was just a restaurant. They didn't really officially have any virgin cocktails/mocktails on the menu but they threw together a little something for me which was nice; A pineapple cranberry ginger ale soda or something to that effect. The meal was good for a change, and a little Fusion cuisine, but it's not something that I will return to personally. Lots of Booth seating and table seating, aside from a really long bar. Green P street parking outside and they take Visa.
Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken has been on my radar for quite some time and I just had to go in and give it a try! It was SOOOOO GOOD! I am forever a lover of Japanese style food combined with American eats....fusion foods which is my type of place. I highly recommend trying their fried chicken - it's got some kick to it but totally amazing. I love that their food is colourful, rich in flavour and really tasty! They have excellent customer service and truly a good vibe there! The interior design is cool with fun staff. You must try the Sweet Garlic Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich, Gyoza and Takoyaki! Don't forget to try their curried tater tots (like a poutine)....it's out of this world! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone. It has some of the most unique food combos that you can't find everywhere. I cant wait to go back and visit!
Double stacked sandwich: geez this was huge! I actually split this with someone for dinner due to the size. Comes with spicy mayo, horse radish mayo, and soya sauce on the side. They were very generous with the chicken and slaw. I found it oilier than other sandwiches I've had, but not enough to make me feel greasy. Chicken was a big inconsistent, some pieces juicy while some a bit dryer. Nashville sandwich was amazing too! Mealbox spicy sesame: came with a box of purple rice and 3 giant pieces of fried chicken. It was good but I prefer their sandwiches.
I won a giveaway to get 2 Nashville Ice. The reason I give 3 starts are because of the service and the brioche bun. We went right when they open, however it took more than 30 minutes to get our food, and the customers that came after us had got their food. I understand that we won a giveaway. Onto the Nashville Ice, it was our first time having chicken sandwich with an ice cream. It is unique, and we love the kick on the honey sauce. The fries chicken is so crispy, flavorful, and juicy in the inside. Perfect! We love the seasoning. However, we are not a fan of the brioche bun, especially the texture.
Great Tokyo Fried chicken sandwich! Got takeout and enjoyed it. Tip: dont use up all of the soy sauce on the burger. Chicken was juicy, tasted fresh and the fusion toppings hit the spot! Highly recommended
Badass Logo, Badass Food Went on multiple occasions consistent quality and taste. A nice departure from typical fried chicken. Reasonable portion reasonable pricing. In advance, just remember to ask for extra napkins. Sandwiches - Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken - Nashville Hot Fried Chicken ( winner ) Both seem to be the same thing with Tokyo having more of an Asian flair but didn't get much think a dash of soy sauce would have helped. In the end, Nashville came up as the winner for me. The simple bun, chicken, slaw, pickle, and heat combo just worked. Boxes - Karaage ( winner ) - Tokyo Hot Fried Bed of rice, large pieces of fried chicken. You simply get more flavors with the Karaage. The inclusion of the seaweed and ginger flavors was a better package overall in my opinion. Poutine - It's different, I am not sure if it's for everyone thou. It came topped with this yellow masala tasting sauce. Didn't really blend in well with the fries as it did with the other items. Overall would recommend checking out Tokyo. A unique set of flavors, with all the fixings and the grease to keep you satisfied.
Cannot say enough about the scrumptiousness of this sandwich! My friend and I roam around the city hunting down fried chicken sandwiches and were in the middle of waiting for ours here when the staff/manager/owner(?) appeared & had the AUDACITY to declare this as one of the BEST we'll have ever eaten!! Oh yeah?? Yeah. Dudes and dudettes, it was gggggreat. It's a generous crispy piece of juicy kara-age chicken on a brioche with pickles and coleslaw. It is filling and just gets to the point of umami deliciousness ASAP from the first bite. They make sure that there is a crispy layer of skin to cover the burger area with every bite. It had just the right juiciness and did not soak the paper, right to the end. This is no gamble. It is the real deal if you have a craving for no nonsense fried chicken sandwiches.
Ordered through UberEats. We always have a concern with takeout that fried food may arrive soggy but the fried chicken came fast and was hot and crispy! Kid approved for the chicken Karaage and the Tokyo Hot fried chicken had great spice heat for us adults. So glad it wasn't a mild spice, some places say spicy and it's so mild but this was a lovely good hotness!! The chicken portions were good and NO BONES- we loved that. The fries were ok not the best, kids said too little amount. Overall Would definitely order again!

I have to say one of the nicest owners I ever met in my life. Very humble and kind, even noticed my wife was a bit sad and gave us water and a cheesecake just to cheer her up. If you want to know what a human being is supposed to do, visit the Tokyo fried chicken and meet the owners there you will learn a lot. Not only are the owners fantastic people but their food is phenomenal as well. The chicken was so juicy and seasoned perfectly, the right amount of heat, I could eat 100 of these sandwiches that's how good they are, it's different than Chicas so I can't compare but it's on the top three as the best fried chicken sandwich in Toronto. I hope this place stays around for a long time because they deserve it, will definitely visit again and eat their amazing fried chicken sandwich. read more
I'm surprised that I haven't written a review for this place yet considering it is one of my favorite spots in Toronto and I order from here quite regularly. I have had both their Fried Chicken Sandwiches and their wings with all of the flavors they have to offer. This place is honestly one of the best in the city. The flavors they have to offer are a great example of Japanese fusion with North American comfort food. My personal favorites are Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich and the wing flavors--Okonomiyaki, Nashville hot, Spicy Sesame. A little tip: Their wings can be found under "Wing Fix by Tokyo Hot" on Uber Eats read more

Ordered through Uber eats - Nashville fried chicken sandwich + fries. It was good but overhyped. I really like the brioche bun and fries. The chicken itself is meaty and juicy, but overall the sandwich lacked flavour - could use more seasoning/sauce. Maybe I should have ordered spicy instead of mild. read more

As a place, it's kind of tucked away on the 5th floor of the building, but they have an elevator. Seating inside is spacious, with a small patio outside. I decided to grab takeout of their Tokyo Hot fried chicken sandwich. It was reasonably priced. It was the perfect fusion of Japanese chicken karage and sauces. It has a hint of sweetness, which I feel most Nashville chicken sandwich restaurants are missing in their sandwiches. The server was polite and prompt, getting my whole order done in 10mins. I would definitely come back. Next time I'm try their other items like the chicken karage skewers.Went in expecting this place to be your typical fried chicken sandwich joint, but I'm glad I was wrong. Can't wait till next time. read more

Had this in the taste of Italy festival, definitely a favorite of my favorites! The chicken is crispy but so juicy inside. The flavor is rich with coleslaws and the bun is airy and light. Recommended! read more
This is seriously the top contender for my favorite fried chicken sandwich spot in Toronto. The chicken was thicc af, juicy on the inside and super crispy on the outside. I like how the batter actually had alot of noticable flavor too. The slightly sweet and tangy coleslaw gave the sandwich a nice cronch. And the sauce served on the side (kinda tasted like ranch) was so delicious, I slathered it on every bite . The bun was also nice and soft and held everything together. Definitely an indulgence as it was on the greasier side, but definitely worth it! Would recommend and will be back! read more
One of my favourite go-to fried chicken places! After discovering them at the CNE last year, and seeing that they've opened a location on King Street... I had to try it! To start off, the location is at the underground bar which is v lit and the patio is nice as well! In the restaurant itself, it has its own food truck!! The fried chicken, was awesome (and just as great, as when I had it the first time!) Skewers are full of flavour and the sauce options really went well with the chicken! I've gone back a few times and haven't been disappointed! read more

After skipping through all my friends' stories, I found this place via instagram and I had to give it a shot. Their spicy fried chicken sandwich was very juicy and surprisingly has a kick to it. I also got the chicken skewers, which all 3 japanese flavors he nailed. The owner is a really great dude to talk to. read more

This is a high 3 low 4 out of 5 for me. Credit for quality and uniqueness of the sandwich. Will return for the Nashville version. But this was very good. Simply put if you're a fan of the wasabi, soy sauce etc. (Asian flavours in general) this is a great combination with fried chicken. If these are flavours you enjoy you'll likely bump up on my score and you'll really enjoy it read more

Absolutely loved the Tokyo box with the sweet garlic sauce. After my boyfriend and I got harressed by some weirdo we decided to get some thing to eat and calm our nerves. Found this spot and they didn't disappoint. Officially bookmarked as a favorite! read more

Stumbled upon this place with a friend and had a really great experience! Ordered the Tokyo Hot Fried Chicken Box with fries and it was so delicious! We're excited to go back for sure! The guy working was super friendly and gave some great suggestions with what to order! Very cool aesthetic of the location as well! Great for a quick photo or two! read more
