  The food was so bad the chicken was so clumped with spices , the burger was so thin and really odd, the waffle fries ok, shake ok, but totally gross and dirty inside the eating area! Then the only bathroom was next store and it was very dirty!!! $50 bucks for two people and tasted bad! We basically had a few bites of each item, and threw it away . Felt bad about wasting it but it was so terrible.

  Let me start off by saying, the fish was under cooked, the oil the fries are cooked was over due, the grill the burgers and other meats that are cooked on is dirty from past orders maybe days ago giving the food a horrible taste. The staff cooking your food wear no hats or hair nets. The cashier that we had will bring this loction to bankrupt and out of business if left unnoticed. Go eat at 5 guys down the block, where the employees and food put these yoyos to shame.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 stars! I ordered a chicken sandwich and sweet-and-sour chicken wings from Yoyo Chicken in Kingston, and both were delicious! The fries were a little cold, but I still enjoyed my meal. Overall, a great experience—I’d happily order again!

  I literally just left 5 minutes ago and already want to go back for another burger. Im not even kidding, the chicken was gas, the fries were gas, the burger was gas, the mozzarella sticks were gas, what else can I say?? The staff was great, the food is made fresh when you order, the prices are great for the amount of food you get, the shop is clean, and the drink machine isnt behind the counter. 10/10, will be coming back. People literally just hate new things to hate, this place is better than daves hot chicken by a mile.

  Yo-Yo Chicken doesn't have the compact space of a McDonald's or a Burger King that I've been at; it has a lot more open space, though the floor felt a bit sticky when we were there. It's a long walk from the front door back to the ordering counter where you use the kiosks, and because there's so much empty floor room, it could definitely use a lot more seating. On the bright side, they had a mix of music playing including but not limited to 2000s or early 2000s songs that my phone's Now Playing feature picked up, like Rihanna's "Umbrella," "Rude Boy," and "Take a Bow," Akon's "Lonely" and "Smack That," Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" and "So Sick," Mary J. Blige's "Family Affair," and Nelly's "Just a Dream" and "Dilemma." The food and service delivered, though. The portions are huge—the chicken tenders are massive, way bigger than what you'd get at Applebee's or other places, to the point where I couldn't even finish mine. We also grabbed shakes; my brother got the Fruity Pebbles shake and I got the Oreo shake, which honestly ranks as one of the best Oreo shakes I've ever had because you get the actual cream from an Oreo right up the straw along with the crushed cookie pieces. Menu prices are a bit much overall, but the lady working up front running everything solo was super friendly, and working with her would probably be pretty enjoyable. The only real hiccup was the drink situation: the screen showed Snapple and Minute Maid, but they didn't actually have them in stock, which had us stressing that the shakes might be out too, so we had to pivot to Brisk and a Dole lemonade instead. Honestly, if you're driving in a straight line past where you would turn towards Frank Sager Boulevard and Walmart, you'll pass a Wendy's, then Yo-Yo Chicken, then a McDonald's, a Burger King, and Five Guys across the street. If you keep going straight, you'll pass Popeyes and the now-being-built Chick-fil-A, not to mention Chipotle, Taco Bell, 99 Restaurants, Applebee's, Little Italy, and Texas Roadhouse just to name a few. We already have so many options here, and I'm one of the few people in Kingston who thinks we don't even need more spots like this; we need other businesses like clothing stores, shoe shops, and a variety of different things that we don't have so people don't have to travel a distance to get them. My brother said it probably won't last that long, but I hope it lasts long enough because there were people consistently going in and out getting pickup or to-go orders. Overall it's just an okay place—not fancy, nothing to really write home about, but it's a new spot. I do a lot of reviews for lots of different places for a variety of different reasons and update them, so this review could definitely get an update if we come back here in the future and have a different experience.
