Soy garlic lunch meal
Seo C.

Cheap and tasty I got the lunch meal with soy garlic sauce and chili fries. Definitely not the best korean chicken I've had but I still enjoyed it.

Wow Chicken Lunch Special - the best way to have some chicken & fries!
Ros C.

I really like Wow Chicken, especially when I'm craving some fried chicken and really good fries. Pictured is the lunch special for $9.99 - 3 pieces of chicken (you can choose regular seasoning or upgrade to spicy/sweet for $1), a pop, and fries (which you can upgrade to bulgogi fries for $0.50 - you HAVE to do this bc the bulgogi seasoning is amazing). If we aren't doing the lunch special, we order half order of shallot chicken (comes with a honey mustard sauce, a container of shallots, 6 pieces of chicken), half order spicy chicken (it does get to be quite spicy by your 2nd to 3rd piece, but I love it regardless), a large bulgogi fries and a side of radish $1.99, which is super fresh. Their chicken is always super fresh, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Their servers have been friendly every time we've gone there. My only complaint is sometimes the service can be slow, even when they're not super busy, but it's something I can live with for those bulgogi fries!!

We were still hungry after our breakfast of pastries so we were on the hunt for something more substantial. I spotted Wow Chicken and their sign advertising KFC lunch specials sounded perfect. We walked in and ordered a box to go. Interesting that they have a takeout window (no one was manning it). Interior is modern and they actually have cute, comfy looking seating. Service was a bit odd; I think the lady told us to wait at the front after we ordered but we just sat down at a table and waited there instead. - 3 piece drumstick meal ($9.99) - one of their lunch specials. Comes with fries and a pop. Chicken was fresh, moist and not too greasy. Batter was satisfyingly crispy and the fries were excellent. 3.5 stars. They have a second location in Chinatown. Interesting that both are nearby/beside Quickly's, not sure if there's a connection?

Original Chicken (Spicy)

I finally understood why men can't resist hot chicks because they are sooooo irresistible. I'm amazed at how these chickens are still so crispy when they are completely seasoned with the spicy sauce! Fried crisp on the outside, the meat is also juicy and falls off the bone tender! More on my IG: @annthefoodie

Bought chicken yesterday and warmed it up today and guess what ITS STILL FUCKING CRISPY!!! That is absolutely amazing. And the chicken is still juicy and delicious so whatever y'all doing keep doing it! 20/10 always recommend

Looking for some quick deep fried chicken that's a bit different from your regular KFC? Well, that's what wow chicken is for. Just ordered a boneless chicken meal with fries and pop. Worked out to be just under $10. Pretty good deal (ignoring twoonie Tuesdays at some other chicken vendor). The taste isn't for everyone though. It's a bit light on the flavor, and it's best to come with more than one person to order a bit more and share (though there really isn't any argument to leftovers). Personally, I prefer the spicy gang-geong wings with a bit more flavor, but I don't mind the original recipe. They seem to put a lot of time in the esthetics of the place including place mats, plates, wet naps branded with the wow chicken logo. I would be surprised if the bathroom also had toilet paper with the branding. (Kidding!) This place seems to see people in waves and can be a bit busy so just depends when you come by. The Korean music videos are a nice touch and a nice change from Taylor Swift. With the loss of Lido Cafe, it's nice to see another Asian establishment in the neighborhood.

I arrived in Calgary and wanted to try a quick spot for food. I decided to check this place out. If you are looking for parking, there's side street parking, but it's in quite a busy area of Kensington. The place was not crowded and the service was quick. I ordered a half order of the Gang Jeong chicken with the spicy sauce. The half order was more than enough for just me. The chicken was very crispy! For being a fast food type of restaurant, the chicken was delicious! The spiciness from the sauce made my mouth water and was quite spicy, but it was so good. I would recommend this place!

Had the Original recipe chicken - half and half so one half that was just the plain recipe with no sauce and the other half with soy garlic. Original recipe tasted and had texture of Popeyes chicken. Me who enjoys lots of sauce and flavour, I enjoyed the soy garlic. It wasn't drenched in sauce, just lightly dipped in it. Also tried their gang-jeong chicken which were very saucy and were popcorn chicken (boneless). They're spicy and sweet and a thick crispy layer of batter.

Chicken was so bland, no flavour, so greasy, and not worth the price but the fries where ok.

I've been a regular at this place for a long time. They know me by name, I bring friends and my…read moregirlfriend, and I've spent thousands here over time. Overall, I've always liked the place -- but there's one employee who consistently ruins the experience. The bigger guy working there -- you know exactly who I'm talking about -- has a terrible attitude every single time. No reason for it. This was the last straw. I came in around 9pm with my girlfriend. The place was nearly empty -- maybe three couples total. He immediately told me, "Sorry man, can't help you, we're way too busy. It's going to be an hour and a half." That made zero sense. I pointed out that the place was basically empty, and he doubled down saying they had too many online orders. That just felt like a lazy excuse to not deal with us. When his coworker looked like he was definitely about to take my order. It's frustrating because the rest of the staff has always been great, but this one person consistently treats customers poorly and doesn't seem interested in doing his job. At this point, I'm done. I won't be coming back or spending another dollar here unless something changes. A good business shouldn't let one employee drag down the entire experience like this. Since the old manager left, the place has clearly gone downhill. The only people consistently doing a great job are the ladies in the kitchen -- they're always friendly and actually make a solid burger. That said, the larger male staff member I mentioned should not be representing this business.

Last minute search for a smash burger and this place did not disappoint!! Would definitely order…read morehere again. Highly recommend adding a samosa to your burger!

This review is for the Beltline location as Yelp doesn't seem to have the location:…read moreMy family went for my daughters Birthday. It all started with the reservation. We made a reservation several days before and on the day of, the reservation was mysteriously canceled. Quickly we made another reservation hoping this one wouldn't be cancelled. Arriving at the restaurant, we were immediately seated and then waited for almost 15 minutes before the server even came to take our drink order/food (4 x Ramen bowls, 2 x Udon bowls). As we waited, three groups who sat after us received both their drinks and food before we had received just our drinks (Bottle of Sake, a coke, a ginger ale and momoyoi). Two small groups has completely finished their meals before we had received our soup bowls. This ended with us finally getting our bill with the surprise of an automatic gratuity of 18%. We were told by the server several times that 18% was added to groups over 6, we we pointed out that we were a group of 6, she restated the 18% gratuity was for "6 or more". Unfortunately, this isn't stated anywhere in the website, see attached picture. Food: My ramen was adequate, not terrible but not great as well. Wakado, Jinya, Shiki Menya are better options
