AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Food was terrible. The presentation of food looked nice but the taste was just not there. Please trust me on this me and my other 4 friends went and none of us liked it. A complete waste of time and money. I never make reviews but on this one I had too. Please avoid.
Called 4 times, no answer. Called the Barhaven store to confirm they were still in business, picked up strait away and said yes, maybe they are busy and did not pick up. Showed up at the Elgin location to order takeaway. They seemed unaware that there phone is not working, only one customer in the place. Tried to use some gift cards I received as a present from my father last Christmas. She inform me they would not accept them without giving me any sort of coherent or reasonable explanation. Overall very disappointing, did not even get to try the food. Terrible customer service.
So this place was The Fry, then became Thai Fried Chicken, then now Dakgogi which is practically The Fry with a name change? All within a 2 year time span.
Got takeout, Yang Nyeom flavour is alright, asked for it spicy which was better. Hot Soy Garlic flavour did not taste like any of those things. Fried chicken itself was cold and lacked seasoning on the chicken itself but instead just drench in some sauce.
Overall: Avoid if you can and get food somewhere else
This place is amazing. Portions we massive and the fried chicken did not disappoint. Also, the corn n cheese was surprisingly good and was quite a nice way to end the meal. Would recommend it to anyone and they are halal for anyone wondering.
I was really excited to enjoy this restaurant based on the review from Melshangrytable. I have to admit that the presentation was so well done plus I called them to make sure that they gave me a bone chicken instead of a boneless once and the lady (customer rep) respected it, however the disaster came: SALT!
Oh it was impossible to eat the chicken. The coat plus the inside chicken were so salty, we couldn’t even ate half, real DISAPPOINTMENT.
I hope the chef/manager can read my review tonight and make sure to correct that situation otherwise, they will really lose a lot of customers, including me.
I gave them 3 stars because of the presentation (check the image) and the fact that they respect my order (thanks once again to the customer rep).
I've heard great things about their Toronto location but unfortunately did not have a good experience here. I ordered takeout for their normal full chicken and it was just very tough to eat. The chicken was overcooked and dry. On most of the white meat pieces, the edges and surface turned a medium light brown with a hard texture indicating it was cooking for far too long. The meat was also lacking seasoning, but the batter was tasty. They also included a free drink which was a nice surprise which helped a bit with the dry meat. Hope they can improve on the quality of the fried chicken.
