There's a fast-food vibe ambience but the food isn't quick; I waited about 20 minutes for my food after I placed my order on the touchscreen at the counter. I'm not sure it was worth the wait. I got the "Chicken Bites Pile Rice" which was comprised of several crisp pieces of fried chicken thigh meat over rice strewn with radish, shrettuce, and julienned egg omelette. That in itself was fine - however the spicy mayo topping was excessive. It liberally covered the chicken plus there were generous lashings of the mayo underneath it. I tried scraping it off with a wooden spoon with limited success. "Medium" level of spice worked well for me. If there's a next time, I'd order it with the sauce on the side.

All dishes are served straight on a frying pan, which adds a fun and unique touch to the experience. They offer five spice levels, ranging from non-spicy all the way to Fire, so there's something for everyone. Portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and they use halal-certified ingredients. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and lightly battered for the perfect crunch. It also reminds me of Korean fried chicken. I went with the non-spicy and mild levels, and both were packed with flavor. The BBQ pulled chicken was especially impressive. It's so tender and flavorful it honestly reminded me of pulled pork.

We were quite hungry, and asked for advice regarding sizes, and were advised to order the following for 2: -Pork Tang Su Yuk (Large: 39.00$): Comes served with a thick, syrupy, sweet and sour sauce on the side. The sauce contains some fresh produce such as cabbage and onions, which is quite nice and refreshing, and cuts through the sauce, providing a different flavour in addition to the fried umami of the pork. I appreciate that the sauce comes served on the side, because I like my food CrUnCHy -Ja Jang Myun (Regular: 13.50$): It was tasty, very onion forward (which I LOVE). My only comment was that I was expecting the sauce to have little pieces of pork in it, and I personally did not detect any, which translated to a bit of a superfluous sauce. Afterwards I checked the menu, and it does say that there is minced pork in the sauce, so I'm not sure... This was more than enough food for 2 people (we got leftovers to take home), and I think the perfect amount of food for 3. I appreciate good portion sizes. Additionally, they served yellow radish, and kimchi radish cubes with it, and had vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper powder at every table. The server was kind, the vibes were quaint, family-owned, "mom and pop" hole in the wall, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

I was pretty sure that my daughter would jump at the chance to have Omurice and I was absolutely right about it! I'm not sure if they normally use any kind of meat or meat broth in their Omurice. It's not listed on the menu, so I inquired about making the dish Vegetarian. The waitress asked if I was OK with egg. Seems like a lot of people don't really understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. If I were asking for a vegan dish...well there's just no way I could eat the dish as the egg is the "Omu" part of the dish and therefore the main attraction. I got the point across though that I just didn't want any chunks of meat or meat broth used in the dish. (It was my daughter's dish mainly but I wanted to try it, and she's fine with eating vegetarian foods even though she does still eat meat.) It was a really yummy Omurice and I think we may have just found a new favourite of ours on the North Shore! I ordered the same vegetarian Jab Chae Rice that I ordered last time and it was just as good as I remembered it. It really puzzles me though that this dish is listed under the Rice section. It does come with a bowl of white rice but it's a freakin huge platter of noodles and the noodles are really the main star of the dish...not the rice! Grandma ordered the Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice which is supposed to be a Seafood fried rice with vegetables and pork in black bean sauce, topped with a fried egg. She wasn't too impressed with this dish and honestly...I guess I can't really blame her for it. In my last review I wrote that you can't really go wrong with any dish on this menu. I take that back now. I think this is probably the first dish we've tried here that was less than stellar. There was a lot of rice in the dish, and barely any seafood in the rice. The black bean sauce was...nothing to write home about? Other than the underwhelming Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice though, I still give this place a thumbs up and would still highly recommend coming here. Lots of restaurants have hit and miss dishes. This place still serves some great food overall.
