The portions are very good in size and also taste good. The store is well decorated and wide. Service was ok. We were served by two different people, the woman was really good and polite, but the guy was distracted, although the house had just three tables, he didn't serve well. The prices are fair.

This spot is amazing! The Sambal Oelek fried chicken was perfectly spiced, and the platter for two came with huge portions—more than enough for two hungry people. The mango cocktail was a highlight, made with real fruit instead of syrups. Even my picky dog loved the dog-friendly menu! I also really admire their mission to support the neurodivergent community and provide sensory-friendly hours. Can’t wait to visit again!

Amazing staff and comfortable atmosphere. Pet friendly with a very special dog menu! Large portions and delicious food. This place will be my new favourite go-to spot! It is incredibly unique and welcoming with its own sensory room. My dog has never been so happy!

Came here for lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere. They are pet friendly and tipping-included which I appreciated a lot. The food was good, with comparable price point to other similar places. We ordered the original fried chicken and a squid dish. Such a lovey addition to the Danforth area.

So happy to have stumbled upon this gem of an establishment. Their inclusivity and unique mission is just the cherry on top of the whole place! I came in after a nearby taco spot told my friend and I (with our two dogs) that they had to cancel our reservation as their patio was already shut down. What happy accident that my friend was able to find Sarang, that just opened their second location on the Danforth. Ourselves (dogs included) were welcomed with open arms and were so excited to order the human food as well as food from the Paw Menu! The dogs loved the food, of course, and it was so nice being able to be in a cozy space with all our loved ones (furry ones included). We didn’t pop in, but I love the addition of the sensory room. Such a great idea! Special shout out to Ichino who was so kind and attentive to us (and our pups) our whole meal and of course, Micheal who works in the kitchen, who came and said hi to our dogs and had a great conversation with us. I’ve told my friends with and without dogs about this place, cannot wait to come back to try more menu options and come for the good vibes.

I recently visited Sarang Kitchen with my family after our flu shots, eager to enjoy a cozy meal together. We ordered a variety of dishes: the K Snack Platter, Original Fried Chicken, Spicy Rice Cake Stew, and Cheese Balls. Unfortunately, the K Snack Platter didn't meet my expectations. It seemed overcooked and darker than I would have liked, which made me wonder if the oil hadn't been changed or if the items were simply over-fried. The same went for the Original Fried Chicken; while it was decent, it was slightly dry and lacked the moisture I was hoping for. On a positive note, the kids really enjoyed the Cheese Balls and Spicy Rice Cake Stew. The flavors were vibrant and satisfying, which made them happy diners! The staff at Sarang Kitchen were fantastic—very attentive and friendly, which definitely added to our experience. However, I found the dining environment a bit uncomfortable. With the AC blasting full blast in November, our seating felt quite chilly, especially with the vent directly overhead. Luckily, the warm Spicy Rice Cake Stew helped to keep me warm during our meal. Overall, while there were some hits and misses with the food, the attentive service and the enjoyable dishes for the kids made for a pleasant family outing. I hope they can improve on the frying techniques for their offerings in the future!

I was curious about this new open Korean fried chicken restaurant and finally went in with my friend today. The chickens were so crispy and delicious, the portion was so big that we had to take out some for lunch tomorrow. The staff was very friendly. Highly recommended 😊

I seriously have nothing but amazing things to say about sarang kitchen! We’ve heard so many great things and love what they’re all about and as soon as we stepped in the restaurant we knew we were gonna have a great time. This second location is so brightly lit with lots of space, but they’ve also included a back area with sensory rooms and boxes with dimmed lighting for anyone feeling overwhelmed. The food was spectacular, we love their sarang platter which came with 2 flavours of Korean fried chicken (you can choose bone in or boneless) lots of tornado chips & a giant squid. It also came with 4 delicious dipping sauces, coleslaw and pickled radish. It’s a perfect platter to share with friends and just have a relaxing time while snacking away. Their rice cake stew was huge and had so many toppings, definitely worth it for the price you’re paying & the sauce is amazing for dipping as well. Everything from food to service was amazing and you really feel included and part of their family. Highly recommend!
