The chicken at this restaurant is amazing. We tried the rose mozzarella sweet and spicy flavors, and although they were somewhat similar, each had its own unique twist. The chicken stayed wonderfully crispy even after being brought home. I was pleasantly surprised that the kimchi fries also stayed crispy. The service was friendly, and you can't go wrong with Core.

Since the first time I had the Sweet and Spicy fried chicken, I have been ordering regularly through Ubereats. This restaurant has the best Korean Fried Chicken!!

Everything on the menu at Core is amazing. If you're hesitant to order or dine in, don't waste any more time - their food is delicious. The portions are huge, the flavors are incredible, and the Chef and Owner, H, is great. This family-run restaurant stays true to their roots and deserves your support. Core should always be a go-to spot in the East end.

Core never disappoints. It definitely is one of our favourite go-to’s for a girls night out. Food is consistently great, service the same. Love this place.
