Yum Yum BBQ

I went there with a co-​worker for lunch for our first visit at Yum Yum BBQ. They haven’t done much advertising. The only reason we knew of its existence was from a previous visit to another restaurant at the mall. I have been craving Korean BBQ chicken and immediately thought of coming to this place. I ordered a 2-​piece Chicken Meal which includes small fries and a can of soft drink. The portion was food and was the perfect size lunch meal for me. I had the shallot chicken and they were yummy. Something to be aware of is that there is still mildly spicy taste, which I think is in the batter… so it doesn’t really matter which flavour (Yum Yum, Shallot, Spicy, Regular Fried) you order, it will be at least slightly spicy… something to be aware of if you have young kids.
The service received by the waitress was great. The interior of restaurant is well thought out and decorated nicely. I will be back but next time I will order just the fried chicken without the fries so I can eat an extra piece of chicken!

Finally, me and my sister got the chance to try out yum yum chicken, well its because of Colin. Thank you Colin.
We ordered # 11 which is beef, rice, 3 PCs of small dumplings, and 2 yum yum chicken, came with a can of pop, I think it was around $ 14(round up).
Let’s start with the ambiance, its a small very comfortable place. The chairs are comfy. Nice decors.
Now, the service… great service. She asked us if its dine in or take out, with menus ready got us seated and came around at a great reasonable time to take our orders.
Order came, she did give our food without the chicken yet and explained why which is fine.
She was very very friendly for a Korean fast food and her English is really good.
Now with the food, its OK… My sis is right the portion size is alright. The chicken came in no time, according to them they cook the chicken with canola oil.
If I were to order again, I would order yum yum chicken. Its crispy very very crispy. There’s a little spice in it which is a good touch I love it hence the 4 stars.
I ordered half chicken to go it was around $ 12 which is almost normal price. I went to the mall for 2 hrs. Came home and had 1, holy it was still crispy. Crispy! Crispy still!
Holy cow, I can’t believe it. Its not 100% like when it just came out, but I will say 80% which is still awesome for a fried chicken.
I would not order anything else but the fried chicken in the future!

I want to rate it 3.5
Hmm let’s see… The serving is decent. I got the BBQ beef combo. The beef was good, rice was soft, the dumplings were not good it tasted like oil with consistency.
I’m not impressed with the salad that came with it. Any salad that only has iceberg lettuce is a useless salad.
I couldn’t taste the chicken because the beef overpowered the taste. But the consistency was nice and it wasn’t overcooked. The chicken is awkwardly cut though, there was a piece that I had no clue what part of the chicken it was.
The service is good. The server is nice and sweet, there was a customer who was asking freaky weird questions about the waitress though. I was impressed how nice she was regardless of the creepy factor.
Overall it’s a mediocre fast food restaurant. For the 14 bucks I spent I would rather go across the street to insadong and feast in all you can eat buffet for 25 bucks.

Do you like Korean-​style fried chicken? Are you near Pacific Place? Do you like a endless stream of K-​Pop music videos? If you do, then you’ve come to the right place. You can’t get it this restaurant front within the Pacific Place — you have to enter from the outside. Once you are inside, there is the unmistakeable strains of K-​Pop blaring from the TV combined with friendly and helpful servers wearing what looks to be a pseudo military uniform complete with a badge of the South Korean flag. Ordering is fast but the cooking is not, it took quite some time for the chicken to arrive every time I was there, but it was worth the wait! Served hot out of the deep fryer with all the Korean Fried Chicken goodness I know and love. It is a convenient choice when you are in the area and don’t want the typical food court experience that you get inside Pacific Place.
