Soon Sal Chicken

What is Soon Sal Chicken? Anchoring the bustling Bloor West corridor, Soon Sal Chicken (operating under the banner of Kimsoonrye Soonsal Chicken) is an intimate haven dedicated to Korean boneless fried chicken. The interior is narrow, lively, and dimly lit, trading formality for a relaxed hang where small crowds cram around compact tables outfitted with casual folding camp chairs.

Soon Sal Chicken Menu & What to Order The go-to order is the Half-and-Half Box, which lets you split tender, shatteringly crisp chicken cuts between rich Galbi Mayo and the deeply savoury Spicy Soy Garlic glaze. Diners with a penchant for addictive sweet-savoury dustings should look to the Sweet Cheese Chicken, balanced brilliantly by an order of rich, saucy Rose Tokpoki with chewy rice cakes. Round out the spread with an order of punchy kimchi fried rice and a basket of spicy fries for the ultimate post-hours comfort feast.

Know Before You Go This spot operates primarily on a walk-in basis, meaning peak evening hours and post-midnight weekend rushes frequently lead to a wait for a table. With service running until 3:00 a.m. seven nights a week, it remains one of the area's most reliable late-night food destinations. Take Line 2 to Christie or Bathurst Station to avoid the headache of scarce street parking along Bloor.
