About Yes Chicken (Korean Fried Chicken) in Manly

Crisp, shatter-crunch Korean fried chicken meets front-row harbour views across from Manly Wharf. Expect crackling fried birds glazed in sweet and spicy yangnyeom or fragrant garlic soy, served steaming with moist meat beneath. Diners grab picnic-sized packs of kimchi and loaded chips tossed in seaweed seasoning before strolling to the sand—or settle onto the small verandah counter to watch ferries churn across the water. Orders arrive thoughtfully stocked with a generous pack of wet wipes, keeping things easy when sticky wings take over.

  • Wharfside Perch: Positioned right across from the ferry terminal with open-air counter seats overlooking the water.
  • Shatter-Crisp Glazes: Double-fried birds glazed in classic sweet-spicy yangnyeom, garlic soy, or dusted in spiced salt.
  • Beach-Ready Sides: Kimchi and banchan pickles come in larger standalone tubs ready for seaside dining.

Why Diners Choose Yes Chicken

Authentic crunch, thoughtful care, and scenic wharfside dining in Manly

  • Authentic Seasonings and Signature Glazes

    Classic recipes like sweet and spicy yangnyeom balance vibrant, authentic Korean seasonings without losing crunch.

    Truly authentic and the best Korean fried chiken in Sydney. Believe me - you should try the sweet and spicy one, which tastes indeed like the soul of Korea.

  • Considerate Dining Details

    Every fried chicken order is accompanied by a full pack of wet wipes, anticipating diners' needs for effortless hands-on eating.

    One thing that really stood out was the large pack of wet wipes provided with the meal. It may sound like a small detail, but for fried chicken lovers, it’s actually a big plus and shows genuine attention to customers.

  • Verandah Views Across Manly Wharf

    Positioned right across from Manly Wharf, the verandah seating provides breezy water views and people-watching as ferries come and go.

    Sitting outside at the verandah, people watching and seeing the ferry offloading crowds to Manly was a bonus to us.

  • Picnic-Ready Takeaway by the Sea

    Condiments and sides like kimchi and pickles come packaged in generous, shareable portions ideal for coastal walks and beach picnics.

    All the acrudiments such as kimchi and pickle are separately sold in more shareable sizes, so this spot works really well as a takeaway to picnic with a feast by the sea.

  • Snow cheese chicken

    Ate boneless snow cheese chicken and spicy pork rice bowl. The fried chicken was excellent, the meat was juicy and tender but it was crunchy and crispy on the outside.

Beyond the menu

Thoughtful Hospitality & Seaside Dining Touches

  • Full Pack of Wet Wipes

    Guests are supplied with a full, large pack of wet wipes alongside fried chicken orders, providing an attentive practical touch for messy finger food.

  • Child-Attentive Dining Care

    When families arrive with young children, the owner proactively consults on whether boneless cuts are easier to eat and arranges custom seating and safety adjustments.

  • Thoughtful Picnic Takeaway Packing

    Takeaway boxes are neatly packed with secure fitted lids and complimentary kimchi included for convenient seaside dining across from the wharf.

  • Ferry-Watching Verandah Seating

    Outdoor verandah and counter seating directly overlooks Manly Wharf, letting diners watch incoming ferry passengers and beachgoers with a coastal breeze.

Before you head over

Practical advice on pacing orders, portion sizes, and snagging verandah seats by the wharf.

  • Allow Time for Solo Counter Service

    The owner often operates the kitchen and front counter solo, so build in extra time rather than expecting instant counter service during peak rushes.

  • Pace Your Order Around Generous Portions

    Portions are substantial—a half-chicken or single basket of wings can easily satisfy two people, making it easy to over-order if dining in pairs.

  • Aim for Verandah Seating by the Wharf

    Grab an outdoor verandah seat facing Manly Wharf to enjoy harbor views and people-watching while keeping your chicken hot and crispy.
