Moo Frites

Was here on a Wednesday evening. Ordered their japo fries which was just over $ 6.00 for a box. Loved every bit of it. That wasabi mayo and bits of seaweed were so delish! Hot fries, crispy outside. I would come back again!

The tastiest fries, feel sorry for vegans that are missing out on the beef fat gravy. You don’t know what you are missing.

Came across this place while exploring Kensington Market and was glad I went in! The fries were very tasty, and I had it with frites sauce and chipotle ketchup. Both were really good! I definitely would come back to try other sauces if I was in the area and wanted a quick snack. However, I wouldn’t make the trip down to Kensington just for these fries.

We visited a second time. Tried the kimchi fries. It was pretty good! and nobody got sick this time.

Finally checked out this place. I’ve passed by it so many times but never got to try it.
Just ordered a regular moo frites with some sauce. I live how the fries are still crispy and crunchy even though it’s thick.
The people there are nice too and love their curry ketchup dip. I would go back for sure.

Came back again, of course. It was even better than I remembered it. Just wanted to point out that we got free poutine because some crazy guy, I guess, forgot to get his poutine and walked out so the shop keeper gave it to us. The poutine gravy was probably the most note worthy thing. You can seriously taste that beefy goodness. The overall poutine was understandably mushy and warm because it was just sitting there waiting for the guy but still the best poutine I’ve ever had (mainly due to that gravy).

I heard a lot of people rave about this place, so I decided to give it a try. I got the Japo frites, which had wasabi mayo, and seaweed. The fries were very crispy and had fantastic crunch, but the flavours didn’t work for me. I don’t think the food or portions are worth the price. Perhaps I’ll come back to try another flavour, but I’m not quite sold yet.

TL;DR: Super Good! Crispy fries with delicious sauces!
The fries: it sounds weird but you taste the potato! The crispy outside then the mash potato like inside was just the right balance! Doesn’t feel oily and heavy. Not some dark, week old, oily fries. Golden crispiness perfect!
The sauce: I got the Japo fries and it was so good. I liked it better than the seaweed fries from Japadog in Vancouver! Might be expected but you taste the roasted seaweed and sesame, not many places that use these toppings give that flavour. And the wassabi mayo actually tasted like wasabi, like there was a kick. So perfectly balanced with the crispy fries.
Definitely worth a try.
PLUS: Owner is super nice and fun (he was dancing to Meghan Trainor’s «No» when we walked in) and totally willing to take a picture with you if you like ;)

As part of my Kensington Market food adventure, Moo Frites was on the list.
Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was no line. Just one other customer inside already enjoying their fries.
My friend and I shared a small kimchi fries. These are way better than Banh Mi Boy’s kimchi fries. Most of the credit goes to the actual fries at Moo Frites. They are fresh and delicious! Even the kimchi is pretty good too. The small is actually pretty filling and I’m glad my friend and I shared one because I would’ve been too full. I wouldn’t have been able to fit in any more food for our food adventure!
Overall, I think this is a one time thing for me. If I did come back, I’d definitely have to share again. However, I do think this is a must try for anyone visiting Kensington Market.

I’m Belgian and well the fries are close but doesn’t meet my expectations. You will never find fries with their skins on in Belgium sorry…

Their fries are made to order which is very good.
We ordered the Japo. fries. Seaweed and wasabi mayo — something different.
But $ 7.55 is kind of expensive, since they only put just enough seaweed and mayo to cover the top part. By the time we finished half of it, I have to buy an extra garlic mayo to finish the rest of the fries.

Purpose of visit: Food Adventure Date
Price: pretty cheap in my opinion. After tax the total came up to $ 10.73.
We ordered:
Small Belgian Frites ($ 4.25)
+ cooked in beef fat ($ 1.00)
+ 1 coke ($ 1.25)
+ 3 extra sauce ($ 3.00) — garlic mayo (average), wasabi mayo (bf liked), chipotle mayo (i liked), gochujang tartar (didn’t like)
The fries were thick cut and not really thaat crispy. It tasted very dry. I don’t know whether they really cooked it in beef fat or not, but we couldn’t tell the difference. Either the Belgian Frites was a bad choice (maybe we should’ve ordered one of their special fries?) or it just didn’t hit the spot. It’s good, but nothing special. I wouldn’t say it’s the best in Toronto.
Now the question is — how would the Japo Frites here compare to uptown Shiso Tree’s Nori fries and Okonomiyaki fries? –wink– (Now those fries made me go damnnn. And their homemade tartar sauce?! I’m sorry but it’s waaay better than any of the sauce I tried here!)
I shall return one day to try their Japo frites!

A small hole in the wall in Kensington Market.
We tried the new «Special» frites (curry ketchup, mayo, and chopped onions). The fries are thick cut and crispy. The curry ketchup needed more curry imo. I didn’t realize that it was chopped RAW onions (I’m not a huge fan of raw onions). Unfortunately, we only had room to try one kind of frites so I can only rate them on this one.
Very limited seating and gets pretty busy and cramped at times.

Really delicious fries. They taste fresh cut, although I didn’t ask.
We got the Korean kimchi fries that came with kimchi, scallions, and a spicy kimchi mayo.
Decent amount of kimchi, mayo, and scallions.
I don’t think the kimchi is made in house. Pretty sure it’s the «Chonga» brand. The kimchi mayo is the perfect amount of spicy.
The fries are served in a cone and I wish that they layered the toppings, especially when these fries aren’t exactly cheap. We ran out of sauce and fixings by the time we reached the bottom of the cone. Oh yea, the fries are served in a cone, which at first, seemed like an inconvenience. Then we realized that the holes in the table are for putting the cones into.

I have to agree with the other reviews that say this place is overrated.
You get a small scoop of Belgian fries with a bit dipping sauce. The concept is new and the paper container is innovative but I’m not sure if it’s worth the hype.

If you love crispy fries, you’ll love these.
Large was a good size as a full meal if you have an appetite. I was pretty stuffed. They fill the cone right up to the top, perhaps even too much, as I got my order and fries immediately fell on the floor. But I’m not complaining! Your cone of fries even comes with a little baby fork.
Unlike a few others, I didn’t have an issue with greasy fries.
I had the garlic mayo sauce, which was exactly what I thought it would taste like. I sampled the spicy peanut, which is a warm sauce, and as much as I love peanut [butter] anything, I passed because it seemed a bit too hot and heavy for fries on a hot day.
The store itself is small with a narrow bench lining the side. I went at lunch on a Friday and there were people eating there, but it wasn’t busy and there wasn’t a line. It’s not a bad place to sit as it’s relatively quiet, but I would prefer to walk around Kensington.
I’m excited to go back to try the fries deep fried in beef fat (to see if it’s worth the extra $ 1) and the different sauces.

*The restaurant is tiny with only bar seats, this is more of a grab and go type place.
*the side table has a small customized hole to place your cone style container of fries there, very convenient and thoughtful!
*Their fries are made to order, they are also happy to let you sample!
*the Belgium fries have a thicker cut and are double fried. The result is deliciously crisp and hot on the outside, while fluffy on the inside.
–Kimchi Frites (Kimchi, Scallion, Spicy & Garlic Mayo) — $ 5.95 small:
Portion is very generous. The garlic mayo complemented and bring down the spiciness of the kimchi. The frites were perfectly fried, lightly salted and not too greasy at all. However I wish there was more layers of topping in between the fries, as there were only 2 layers and by the time I get to the bottom, there was no sauce nor topping left :(
–Frites w/​Spicy Sriracha Mayo — $ 4.25 small:
On my second visit I got the normal frites with a spicy Sriracha mayo dipping sauce. The spicy mayo was tangy and creamy, with a kick of spiciness from the Sriracha!
–Fries w/​Parmesan Peppercorn sauce — $ 4.25 small:
My friend got the parmesan peppercorn sauce and although it was a strange mix, the sauce was really good as well. The sauce isn’t as spicy as the Sriracha sauce, the parmesan gives this creamy and cheesy taste, almost like eating a poutine (without the gravy)!

My friends and I were enjoying an evening in Kensington Market, and decided to make several stops around the area.
Fries with a twist… Why not?
We tried the Japo frites, which is basically fries topped with a bunch of dried seaweed, a drizzle of wasabi mayo, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It is such a simple combination of ingredients and it was very tasty. However, the fries were pretty greasy and on top of that, the toppings were not layered, so by the time we reached the middle, we were left with greasy topping-​less fries!
I like the concept, but I gotta say… for what it is, I think it is overpriced.

Hoooo boy, when my SIL suggested this place and exclaimed «you HAVE to try it!», she meant «you HAVE to try it ASAP». I’m not a natural fries lover (don’t send the mob) but this place definitely gave a few good options.
Located right in the middle of the busy Kensington Market, there’s only a few spots to sit in the venue — along the side where a long counter runs, or the 1 table at the front facing out to the street. I tried the Japo Frites, which was covered in seaweed, wasabi mayo and sesame, which will be HIGHLY recommended choice! Also tried the War Frite, which had raw onions and peanut sauce — a confusing blend, I must say. The fries themselves are fresh, but I think alone, they wouldn’t be anything special.
Great snack! The small size is about $ 5 and large is about $ 7.

Just ok for me.
I know they’re fries, but they’re super greasy! The memorable fries that I have had weren’t oily, so they must be doing something different — draining them for longer?
I shared a large (~$ 7) with a friend and it was quite a GENEROUS portion. We had the Joppie sauce, some sort of mayo-​ey curry. It was just alright. Sauce portion was generous as well. It didn’t taste bad, but it wasn’t something that I’m going to run back and get either!
Again, I feel as though I’ve had better fries off a chip truck that weren’t as greasy. Although cardboard cone was convenient for a to-​go, it was also messy — you tip the wrong way and fries will fall out.
Cashier, the one from Vancouver, was super friendly though! So review does not in any way reflect customer service.
