YKO BBQ Chicken is a hidden gem that serves delicious BBQ-style chicken dishes. The restaurant offers a variety of meals, including the popular chicken and plantain combo, which is finger-licking good. The ginger and bissap juices are also a highlight. While the food has a unique flavor profile, some customers report inconsistent portion sizes and poor service. The wait time can be long, often 20-30 minutes, even with phone orders. The atmosphere is basic, with kitchen smoke and heat making the waiting area uncomfortable at the Vanier location. Take-out only and with no seating, the ambiance isn't ideal, but many still find the chicken worth the wait. This has become a go-to takeout spot for many, with the charcoal BBQ chicken being the best in Ottawa, according to a loyal customer. However, a recent price increase to $27 per chicken has raised concerns, and the owner is urged to reconsider the pricing or provide transparency about the reasons behind the increases.
