Yum Yum BBQ & Chicken

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 was about 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 spiciness took awhile to kick in, but was definitely there! The fries were plain, but I love the fact that they were crinkle cut, which is hard to find. The gravy was very small, but was well seasoned and had more depth to it than I expected. My only critique is that there was a mystery dark meat piece that was very fatty, and the breast pieces are quite small breaded chunks, though they are very meaty. As compared to Jollibee spicy chicken - Yum Yum takes the prize in my opinion! I also love that they have white meat chicken, which Jollibee does not.

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 name and phone number clearly giving to her, still not figured it out who am I.

My first time trying Yum Yum BBQ and wow was I impressed. The variety, portion size, quality and flavour of the food was surprisingly for a first time and by delivery. Very nice packaging too!Recommended dishesShallot Chicken, Yum Yum Sauce, BBQ Plate, YumYum Fried Chicken

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 5 piece 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. Husband usually gets the shallot chicken, which has a nice savoury and sweet sauce and shallots on top. This time he got the signature Yum Yum sauce chicken and still thought it was good. Their chicken isn’t as saucy as other places which we like! If you like crinkle cut fries like I do, then these are perfect! They also have twist potatoes spiral-cut potato on a stick which is also fun 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!

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 bit disappointed with the size and flavor of the chicken. We paid for the upsize, bigger pieces? But our chicken was in fact smaller than that of Kfcs or their neighbor, Jollibee in comparison. It was a decent meal over all but prob won't be back.

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 for their Yum Yum Sauce. Their shallot chicken is a definite excellent contender for best chicken as well. A focus on perfecting the dishes they are passionate about really shines at this restaurant.

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!!!

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.Food: 5/5

I really love their fried chicken…super crispy but juicy inside and my husband really liked the chicken salad. The staff are very friendly and accommodating too. That’s why we don’t care if we travel for 30 minutes to be there because we know that our tummy is happy after we eat
