What to Avoid (6)

Food 4

Boneless chicken (honey flavor) Net −1

“We ordered the Boneless Chicken (Honey Flavor) with fries and coleslaw: 1) The chicken pieces were small, with a thick coating, and the honey flavor was barely noticeable. The additional AED 4 for the honey flavor was not worth it.”
Chocolate cake Net −1

“But there was one issue I had with the desserts where I always used to order the chocolate cake but this time It tasted like plastic and we had to throw it away.”
Yangyum tender Net −1

“Do not order yangyum tender here. If you do ou will meet just a fried tender with weird source they call a dipping source.”
Burger Net −2

“I've tried it today and it was lower than bad!! Man just imagine that when i got my order it's not a normal burger with little small piece not well done inside! Nooo!! It's the whole burger not even cooked!”

The Bottom Line

Kyochon is a Korean fried-chicken counter in the Mall of the Emirates food court in Al Barsha. The practical appeal is straightforward: order freshly prepared chicken in flavours such as soy garlic, honey, red or yangnyeom, then add sides like kimchi fried rice or japchae noodles. The chicken is often described as crisp, juicy and well matched with its sauces.

The menu has a few standouts beyond the standard wings. Reviews call the Cheese Truffle Chicken flavorful and juicy, while Soy Garlic Chicken Wings are a repeat favourite. Kimchi fried rice gets strong support, although one customer preferred plain rice, and japchae is praised for its Korean glass noodles despite a smaller portion.

Strawberry Bingsu and creme brûlée drinks also appear in customer recommendations. Plan around the setting and pace. This branch has no dedicated seating beyond the shared food court, and waits range from roughly 15–20 minutes to nearly an hour; one order of 10 wings took 32 minutes.

Portions can feel small for the price, and recent reviews flag inconsistent seasoning, dryness and even undercooked batter. Check availability before paying, especially for boneless options, and look for Careem Dine-Out discounts. Quality is strongest when the order arrives hot and freshly cooked.
