    A Hot & Sweet Honey Garlic Waffle Fries and a drink

    The service was quick and pleasant, the food was a perfect mild spicy with great flavours, and the restaurant was all around enjoyable.

    "OG" Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich Combo with Waffle Fries
    Steve A.

    Frying pan has an extensive menu, but the star item is their Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, which they call the "OG". It's the classic combination of chicken breast fried to a crisp brown, with spicy sauce, spicy mayo, slaw, and sweet pickles. It was as good as any I've had in Nashville. A word of warning, though: I like spicy food, but I would classify the Medium here as Hot, so proceed with caution. The combo is a good deal. It comes with a drink and a huge serving of wonderful waffle fries, also cooked to a perfect crispness. Service is very friendly.

    Super good! The chicken was very thick, fresh and juicy. I would have liked more of a hot sauce on the chicken but would get it again anyways. Had lots on the menu so would try their fry dishes next! The inside was fine, not too much of an atmosphere but lots of seats and close to the beach so probably more popular for takeout

    Yum! Finally got to try out frying pan. Was seated very promptly. Service was very nice but the food took forever to come out unfortunately. The food itself was great. The hot and sweet honey garlic chicken sandwich ($15.90) was massive and tasty. The chicken was still juicy and the sauce was great. I added the waffle fries combo for $4 - they're tasty but wish it came with more fries. My friend got the chicken and waffles ($15.90) and it was also delicious. The waffle was nice and fluffy. I got the blue lemonade and it was sweet and refreshing but it was a little pricy at $6.

    OG Hot Chicken Samdwich

    I'd read great things about the OG Hot Chicken Sandwich here and it definitely did not disappoint. You can select your spice level, I went full tilt and got the aptly named 911 Sauce, which was indeed hot but not melt your tongue off. Large piece of protein, bun held up against the Slaw and jice from the Pickles. There is a heck of a lot of other things I want to eat on the menu; like I watched someone next to me absolutely housing some form of taco with a fried cheese skirt. Menu envy achieved. Prices are a bit steep, $15 for the sandwich only, like $20 if you want Fries. Service was polite, bathroom was clean, lots of seating.

    Really delicious hot chicken! We were really hungry after a long bike ride in Stanley Park and we had been saving this place for that exact situation. It was relatively close (it is uphill so keep this in mind) so we were excited to stop. The restaurant is small but has plenty of tables to eat comfortably inside. We ordered quickly and the food took about 10 minutes to come out. It's definitely fresh as every bite you take released the steam from cooking. I ordered the OG Chicken extra spicy and in my opinion it was perfect! The cashier explained that the level below is equal to sriracha so try that out if you don't like too much spice. To coleslaw, house mayo and pickles definitely cut the spice down, but at the end I was feeling the tingle a bit which I didn't mind at all (actually what I wanted). The seasoned waffle fries were perfect and I loved eating them with the house mayo.

    If you love chicken, come here. Chicken tenders very juicy and flavorful, so good with the house sauce. Honey butter chicken was so yummy, half order. Lots of food and can be shared.

    Chicken thigh burger with waffle fries

    They're quite a cheery bunch in here and have excellent service. However, I feel that the mainstays of this chicken joint, which are chicken burgers and waffle fries, leave something to be desired. It's not about the spices or the brioche bun or fresh cabbage, but I just feel that the chicken is overly battered and oily. The fries were more chewy than crunchy. Great location on Denman Street but I'll continue my search for a better place

    I always forget how many hidden gems exist on Denman, and the brick and mortar iteration of Frying Pan is one of them. The fried chicken sandwiches were all very good--juicy, both the breast and thigh, soft buns, no skimping on the toppings. The mozza yangnyeom sandwich was particularly delightful; the sweet and spicy sauce also had a surprisingly pleasant fragrance of cinnamon. I didn't love the kimchi slaw on the padak sandwich; I thought it was a tad overpowering compared to the rest of the sandwich. The waffle fries were also quite good, crispy outside and fluffy inside, the mark of fries well done. The best part is that everything is freshly fried to order, and nothing left me feeling greasy/heavy. I'll definitely be back!

    bacon cheese fries
    Teresa C.

    Can't ask for anything more when you combine freshly cooked fries with crispy bacon bits and stretchy cheese. Then drizzled with mayo and dotted with teriyaki sauce, you have the ultimate fusion poutine experience. The house teriyaki sauce really takes it to another level with its scrumptious umami flavour, really letting the dish shine and really harmonized with the othe flavours. Once you start eating you can't stop!

    Korean Yang-Nyeom Chicken Breast Rice Bowl (to-go)
    Maggie L.

    This is a hidden gem. My partner and I got takeaway from here a few days ago, our first time trying it out. I got the Korean yang-nyeom chicken breast rice bowl, and we shared some waffle fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly - it was crunchy, sweet, savoury and just the right amount of salty. There was a sweet, tangy teriyaki-like sauce on the lettuce & rice underneath which tasted awesome. The waffle fries were crispy & I dipped them into the egg which came on the rice bowl - yum! Can't say much for the interior decor as we took our food to go, but they were very helpful and accommodating with my peanut allergy (They use no peanuts in the restaurant apparently!) If you need a quick place to grab a snack while you're at English Bay beach, this is a great place to try.

    Dirty Hot Chicken Fries
    Jacob S.

    Stopped here for a quick lunch bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised! Cute little shop with plenty of seating right on Denman Street. Was greeted right away by the friendly cashier working, and got great vibes from the staff! Ordered the Dirty Hot Chicken Fries because I was wanting to try something new and I think I found a new favorite dish. Even though it was a little more on the expensive side, the waffle fries pairing with the juicy breaded spiced chicken was heavenly. My wife and I scarfed down this platter so quickly we were getting weird looks from the other customers. I just wish we came into this restaurant with more room in our stomachs because I wanted to try so many different things from here. If y'all are foodies like my wife and I, we highly suggest giving this spot a try!

    This has been a bucket list hit for awhile as they incorporate an Asian element in their cuisine. They also serve fried chicken which we just love! We split a regular hot chicken sandwich and yang nyeom sandwich. We also got the smoked beef bulgogi fries and hot chicken tacos. First, the regular hot chicken sandwich was pretty good, both sandwichs had a huuge piece of fried chicken at the center, however they were both slightly dry which is always my gripe with chicken sandwiches as it's hard to get it tender and moist all the way through. Also, the yang nyeom style chickn sandwich has a slightly sweet and spicy sauce. I just don't think it worked well with the pickles as there was just too much going on. The pickles and the sweet sauce didn't make the best combination. Aside from that, we ordered the hot chicken tacos which were reaallly just average or slightly under. Chicken was slightly overcooked and garnished with slivered onions, green onion and topped with a spicy mayo. Though, my favorite part of the meal was the smoked beef bulgogi waffle fries. The beef was super tender, it was a subtle sweetness from the teriyaki sauce, house mayo and finished with sour cream. Overall, I thought all the flavors here worked really well with each other. If anything, i'd come back for the smoked beef bulgogi fries :)

    I hadn't heard about Sooda until this August, when I stumbled upon an ad by a foodie influencer on…read moresocial media who tried the restaurant during their 10th anniversary sale. A lot of items were 30% off which is a pretty good discount considering a lot of their mains are $20-$50. Apparently Sooda is really hyped on google reviews and according to some people online, people line up out the door during the dinner rush. I came here on a friday afternoon near opening time at 12 for lunch with friends. There were only a couple tables occupied at the time. My friends ordered a bulgogi platter. According to the menu, it comes with beef marinated in bulgogi sauce served on a hot plate with cheese, green onions, house made egg-rolls, corn, and rice. It's usually a whopping $49 but with the special 30% anniversary discount it was only around $35 so it was definitely worth it. Our food came in a pretty good time in about 12-15 minutes. The melted cheese was SO GOOD. I love cheese but melted mozzarella is delicious. It's divine. The beef was tasty. I like the bulgogi sauce. It was meant to be mixed with the rice and egg rolls. If you just eat them separately, it's gonna be mid because they have little flavor on their own. I like that they included some small side dishes (banchan) to refresh your taste buds, such as kimchi and pickled radish. It was well needed for such a greasy and salty dish. I really like the vibe and the staff here. They had a couple k-pop music videos playing on the TV and k-pop and pop music playing in the background. The customers at the time seemed to have a good time here. They had some 10th birthday balloons and decorations all over the dining area too. The place is pretty dark with just enough lights and the walls are black which makes the vibe kind of cool. There are some interesting looking giant murals as well Our server was in a happy mood and all smiles. She liked to joke a lot with customers which was great to see. She was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu since it was our first time there. She was the only server at the time so she looked pretty busy. She refilled our waters and asked if everything was good so we felt taken care of. She said thank you, hi and goodbye to everyone in our group as well. Shout out to Seoyoung for being a great server! Washrooms are fine. As far as I know there's only 1 private men's washroom for the entire restaurant but it was pretty clean. A bit cluttered with cleaning supplies but it was clean and spacious. 5 out of 5 stars based on this visit. The 30% off 10th anniversary discount made it really worth coming for the price I paid. I hope they have similar promotions like that in the future. More importantly, the food and staff are great so it's worth checking out.

They didn't last long on the table with our group! The heaters weren't working properly on our table, so it took a few tries to get our cheese melted with the bulgogi. So they went ahead and pre-melted the cheese with the chicken before bringing it to the table. Not only was this mix tasty, it was fun scoop it across for our dish. I order a japchae to go, which was also delicious! (Unfortunately someone accidentally rested my to-go bag on a counter with grease before giving it to me, as I discovered later) The food was delicious and the staff were friendly.

Korean guy at the front waves at us, asks how many people, and directs us to a seat. Then another Korean guy comes over and scolds us, telling us to next time please wait at the front until being seated. Clearly they have some organizational issues here and not a great start to this visit. We place our order. Food for 2 of our 4 arrive about 10 mins later. The food for the other 2 people arrive another 20 mins later. Meanwhile the food for the first 2 ppl just sit there. Thankfully they were in clay pots so it was still warm at least, but this is ridiculous. There is no reason for this. If you're slow to get food out, fine, but bring it all out at once. The restaurant itself is huge, looks like a lounge and bar but mostly empty. The staff are all dressed differently too in street clothes so its hard to tell who works there. They are clearly struggling with understaffing. We had a caucasian waitress who came by to deliver food. She was very nice and friendly. About the food. We ordered: kimchi soondubu - asked for extra spicy, it was barely spicy. beef/seafood mixed soondubu - asked for spicy, it was straight up not spicy. The broth base was the same for each, and lacked depth of flavour. The tofu itself was pretty good, silky smooth, but tofu takes on the flavours of whatever it's cooked with and in this case, not much... The beef in these was just ok and there wasnt much of it. The seafood in the mixed one amounted to 1 clam and 1 shrimp shell-on. There was nothing else in it. 2/5 for both of these. Gamjatang - medium sized portion, good for 2, maybe 3 people. Meat was ok, broth was not bad. Solid average. 3/5. banchan served with the meals were the biggest disappointment. 2/5. This might be the most disappointing banchan ive had in a Korean restaurant in a long time. They served regular cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, and bean sprouts. thats it. None of them were particularly good (not bad, just nothing great). And for a party of 4, they served a single portion of each banchan for the whole table. We had to ask for refills 3 more times. You have 4 diners, all with food that comes with Banchan normally. Wouldnt it be reasonable to bring out 4 portions of banchan right off the bat? Especially when you're understaffed? Overall: Main dishes 2.5/5. Banchan 2/5 for overall selection and quality. Service 2/5 - really comes down to severe understaffing and really poor management of how the kitchen is run. The staff there do their best but they need help. Venue 3/5. Overall, 2 to 2.5/5. This place might be the worst Korean place on the Robson strip of all the ones Ive been to. That's saying a lot, since Vancouver doesnt have amazing Korean food to begin with, and this is one of the worst of the bunch.

I always order the same thing, a mixed pork offal and soondae soup. You can choose the spiciness level when you order but they also offer red pepper flakes and fish sauce on the side to add to taste. It comes in small and large, with a side of pickled radish, roasted seaweed, and white rice. Even with the small, you get a lot of meat in the hot stone bowl and it is so comforting. The offal is super tender but the star here is definitely the soondae. Pork blood and vermicelli with spices are encased in an intestine casing, making for a unique springy texture. It's even more tasty when you dip into their homemade fish sauce and the stew warms you to the bone. I love supporting small mom and pop shops, and with how tucked away this place is on the busy Robson strip, I'll definitely make an effort to frequent them time and time again.
