The story
Located on S Westnedge Ave in Portage, this KFC location has recently drawn attention for its limited-time Dragon Ball collaboration. While the themed packaging adds a festive touch to the meal, the overall experience has left some diners wanting more. The menu features a variety of Katsu Sandos, though consistency appears to be a significant hurdle for the kitchen.
Creator Secondo Luca noted that while the spicy Katsu Sando is decent, the teriyaki version falls short, lacking the expected depth of flavor. Beyond the sandwiches, the sides also struggled to impress, with the fries described as soggy. Coupled with concerns regarding the cleanliness of the restaurant, this Portage outpost currently faces challenges in delivering a high-quality dining experience, despite the novelty of its promotional offerings.

AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers praise KFC's signature fried chicken for its consistently crispy, well-seasoned coating, creating a satisfyingly indulgent fast-food experience. The overall vibe is one of reliable comfort and guilty pleasure.
“Classic fries, we all know them by now. They're a bit soggy in this case. Serving temperature is good, they're fried to order, but the problem is that to put them in this box they released a lot of moisture, so they're not even remotely crispy. Not even close. Cooked well, a bit under-salted, nothing else to say.”

The KFC Dragon Ball collaboration has nice packaging and the spicy katsu sando is decent, but the teriyaki version lacks oriental flavor, the fries are soggy, and the restaurant is dirty as usual.
Dishes mentioned
Katsu Sando Teriyaki
This sandwich looks better than the first one, with a 90 out of 100 teriyaki sauce, cabbage, and the usual iceberg lettuce. The smell is interesting. But I'm a bit disappointed — I expected a much stronger oriental flavor, a real slap in the face saying 'ok, we're doing a collaboration that tastes like the East.' Instead, it's just fried chicken with a sauce that's weak, lacking arrogance, lacking power. It's a shame, they were so close to getting it right.
Katsu Sando Spicy
This one isn't bad. Definitely better than the last collaboration, which ended badly. The bread is super soft, finally, so it shouldn't be a sponge. The edges are a bit empty in some spots, so there's an excess of bread. The chicken looks fine, obviously super industrial, and this onion sauce doesn't seem bad. Too bad it's the usual iceberg lettuce — I was hoping for a different salad this time. It's quite spicy, a little hot, fairly round. The bread has some fragrance, even if it's a slightly past brioche bun, not toasted in butter, but there's a good amount of butter inside that comes out when heated. Overall not bad. The chicken is good but a bit dry in some spots. Compared to the pictures, I expected something richer, but it's okay overall.
Sfere del Drago
They look really nice aesthetically, the serving temperature is perfect — I'd say around 45°C. They don't have a strong smell, I thought I'd smell some cheese from outside, but no. They seem like cheddar balls, like they put cheddar inside the dough creating something like pignatelli. But they're missing that little extra flavor.
Patatine Fritte
Classic fries, we all know them by now. They're a bit soggy in this case. Serving temperature is good, they're fried to order, but the problem is that to put them in this box they released a lot of moisture, so they're not even remotely crispy. Not even close. Cooked well, a bit under-salted, nothing else to say.
