Reviews for Yum Yum BBQ Chicken in Calgary, AB
Not your every day poutine. Amazing! It was so saucy since they are generous with the gravy. The meat is marinated just right... and the onions add a nice crunch. Will be back for another one!!! Read more
Very attentive server. He is thorough and friendly. The fries are crinkle cut and the batter is so crisp. It's very tasty crispy... chicken. Read more
In the past few years, the Korean Fried Chicken scene has exploded in Calgary. But, no matter what, we always head back to our... favourite: Yum Yum BBQ in Pacific Place. 1. Price is amazing! For under $14, you get a 3 piece meal (your choice of flavour),crinkle cut fries and a pop. 2. Portion size is consistent. Nice big juicy pieces of double-fried chicken. Some places offer 5piece meals but we like these whole pieces more. 3. Taste is incomparable. I like the spicy chicken (no sauce - dry spice)because it?s got just the right amount of kick. Sometimes it?s spicier (yay) than other times, but it?s always good. Husbandusually gets the shallot chicken, which has a nice savoury and sweet sauce and shallots on top. This time he got the signatureYum Yum sauce chicken and still thought it was good. Their chicken isn?t as saucy as other places (which we like)! If you likecrinkle cut fries like I do, then these are perfect! They also have twist potatoes (spiral-cut potato on a stick) which is alsofun to eat! We tried the beef bulgogi ttoek-bokki (rice noodles) this time and found it tasty, but still love the chicken more.Lots of people around us for other dishes and chicken, but the 3 piece meal is filling enough! We?ve tried the other locations,but honestly, this one is the best! Read more
Though an alternative to the more traditional chicken outlets around the city, Yum Yum BBQ offers other Korean dishes, such as... Pork Mayo Cupbob, Beef Bulgogi, Tuckbokgi, Gang Jeong etc. We tried the Fried chicken, after waiting 30 minutes, we were a bitdisappointed with the size and flavor of the chicken. We paid for the upsize, (bigger pieces?) But our chicken was in factsmaller than that of Kfcs or their neighbor, Jollibee in comparison. It was a decent meal over all but prob won't be back.

This was my first time here, and I wanted to try the spicy chicken and fries to compare it to Jollibee. It is a very cute and... clean little restaurant, not very busy as it was an hour before close on Sunday night. We ordered the chicken to go, and it wasabout 15 minutes from ordering until the food was ready. There were also chairs available to wait. The chicken was super fresh,crunchy, juicy and very delicious! There was a very unique seasoning in the breading which I still can't place. The spicinesstook awhile to kick in, but was definitely there! The fries were plain, but I love the fact that they were crinkle cut, which ishard to find. The gravy was very small, but was well seasoned and had more depth to it than I expected. My only critique isthat there was a mystery dark meat piece that was very fatty, and the breast pieces are quite small breaded chunks, though theyare very meaty. As compared to Jollibee spicy chicken - Yum Yum takes the prize in my opinion! I also love that they have whitemeat chicken, which Jollibee does not. Read more
There?s a lot of newbie working here, a completely new young girl did not mind to put extra napkin for my take-out... order. Standing at the front desk for like hours, restaurant was not very busy. Picked up order for my family, with their nameand phone number clearly giving to her, still not figured it out who am I. Read more
The best Korean Fried Chicken place in Calgary, from all my experimentation. Their in-house sauce, especially, and the... crispiness of their chicken (even after delivery or take-out!) is excellent. I would, in all honesty, kill for the recipe fortheir Yum Yum Sauce. Their shallot chicken is a definite excellent contender for best chicken as well. A focus on perfectingthe dishes they are passionate about really shines at this restaurant. Read more
