“ This Korean fried chicken place is pretty decent and had satisfied my cravings (KFC is almost non-existent up here). It's not as authentic as other places I've been to (mostly in Toronto) but the chicken was good! The chicken itself was crispy (even though it's covered in sauce) and had a good flavour. The spicy fries were pretty great as well. The only thing I would do next time I visit is to ask for the sauce on the side cause it was a bit too much for me. Overall, I had a good experience here and the restaurant had good vibes (a lot of university students!). ”
“ Army stew is suitable for 2 ppl. Sometimes need to queue for the seats when you choose to dine-in. ”
