If you’re a fan of Korean fried chicken, this is the place for you. Chicken in the Kitchen serves saucy, crispy fried chicken, but also snacks like Kimchi Bulgogi Poutine, as well as $3 shots every Friday and Saturday. The interior is cozy and the televisions make it a great place to watch the game. Don’t know what to order? Give their Garlic Chip Chicken a try—you won’t be disappointed.

Magic Noodle is known for their hand-pulled noodles and prompt service. Open 24 hours, their North York location is perfect for a hearty meal to end a night out. I’d recommend the Magic Beef Noodle Soup or any of the BBQ items (the Tofu Manchu is a personal favourite) for a sizzling snack.
