I am so happy to have found this place because it's a goodie. Tucked in the Denman "strip" of restaurants, Frying Pan has a lot to offer (including a food truck). I ordered their Hot Tofu Taco (deep fried tofu, lettuce, pickles, house mayo, tortilla) and added the cheese skirt. Plus a side of their corn slaw. The tacos are huge! Crispy and hot, with a bit of spice! The tofu are huge chunks and perfectly coated with a light batter. The cheese skirt adds a salty cheesy crust. The corn slaw is a must! It's perfectly tangy and pairs so well with the tacos! Fast and pleasant service. The place was not busy but very clean. I can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

I was so tempted for a fried chicken after seeing someone else's posting on Thread. I've previously tried Frying Pan food truck it was a great experience. I've decided to go to the actual restaurant one near English Bay. I had to pay for the food first and then had to look for a table. I ordered Hot Chicken ($15.50) with yam fries combo ($7). I was overwhelmed about not knowing what to order since there were more than 1 item I wanted try. I kinda wanted corn slow as well so I asked questions to staff. I was surprised she gave me a free corn slow. That was a very nice gesture from the staff. Yam fries were pretty good. It was fresh and crispy. Hot chicken sandwich (mild hot) was pretty good. Chicken breast was big and tender. Not too spicy just that I needed a bit more spice or a flavour. Corn slaw was pretty good. I felt pretty full in the end so I packed some yam fries home. I also got to chat with Jacob who is the manager. He was very nice and friendly. Staff were very helpful as well. Food can be pricy, but I really enjoyed dining experience at this location. I'd have accepted the icecream from the owner if I didn't feel full. Hopefully I get one on my next visit. read more

I really wanted to love this place, especially as someone from Texas who's been missing that classic hot chicken. I ordered the hot chicken bowl and the chicken & waffles, and while the portions were generous, the flavor just didn't hit the way I hoped. The chicken was dry-spiced rather than sauced, which some people might prefer, but for me, it lacked the bold, juicy heat I associate with good hot chicken. The waffle was fine, but nothing particularly memorable, and overall, the meal didn't quite satisfy the craving I had going in. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

The whole family really liked the fried chicken sandwiches here. We didn't go hot, went with honey garlic "mild hot" and it was really good. My son got chicken tenders with "no heat" and liked them. The waffle fries were also good. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Too much breading, in the sandwich, the strips... just too much to be worthy of another try! Walk 50m to Chicken World, or Vonn's

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

Sometimes you gotta give a place a second chance. I tried multiple items from Frying Pan twice in one week. The first time, we ordered Dirty Hot Chicken Fries, Chicken Tenders and Waffle Fries. The Dirty Hot Chicken Fries were good, but not mind-blowing. In comparison to the chicken tenders and waffle fries though, they were a lot more flavourful and moist. We found the Chicken Tenders on the dryer side and the waffle fries a bit lacklustre. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. Fast forward two days later - I go again with a friend. This time, we each grab Hot Chicken Sandwiches (Mild Hot) and Smoked Beef "Bulgogi" Fries. OH MY. This time, the food was REAL GOOD. The chicken sandwiches were a wonderful culmination of flavours. The chicken was moist and wonderfully crisp. The bulgogi fries were just delicious - I mean, you can't really go wrong with bulgogi but this was definitely a lot more enjoyable. So, lessons learned - sometimes you gotta try a place a couple times and order something diff hahaha read more

Feeling like a perfectly hot and crispy fried chicken sandwich? you have to check out @thefryingpan604 brick and mortar location in gastown. Aside beats lining up outside of a food truck in the rain. He had the hot crispy chicken sandwich with waffle fries in mild and it was devoured in moments. I had to try their dirty chicken fries which was a delicious mound of fried chicken on waffle fries topped with teriyaki and hot mayo sauce with a side of pickles and coleslaw. I got medium spice level and it was so good! The portion is more than I could finish (yay for evening snack). Definitely works coming to check this place out. Their tables are nicely spaced out to respect th social distancing. Love it's read more

(3.5/5) I tried the Hot Chicken Sandwich ($13.90). The mild spice level was perfect for me as my tolerance for spicy foods is low. Chicken was tender as expected, but the burger is expensive. Would be better if it came with some fries or a small side considering the price. Workers are friendly and service is attentive (maybe a bit too much); they gave me some of their house mayo to balance out the heat. My friend really enjoyed the meal; she got Chicken Tenders ($14.90) and Waffle Fries ($5). Each fry was pretty big, I tried two and they were good. I love their mayo/spicy mayo. The atmosphere here is also nice. read more

Found this gem walking around the Gastown district in Vancouver and my my...do you want that spicy kick?! Cause they got it here! Chicken and waffles was AMAZING - perfect crisp, waffle fries were HOT and crispy. Rice bowl was on point. A little bit off the beaten path, but worth the walk to find it!

We love frying pan. They definitely have the best fried chicken sandwich in the city so we were so glad that they finally have a brick and morter so we can go here any time we are craving fried chicken sandwich.

The menu is not that different than the food truck but they do a few things and they do it right so what's the need to change. read more

Been there twice. First time I ordered by phone for dinner and picked up. Staff was nice and efficient, food was well packed. The sandwiches are fantastic. Well-seasoned, perfect chicken, good bun. Get one step hotter than you'd think. I ordered medium the first time, and it was very mild. I didn't love the bacon cheese fries. Slathered in Mayo and sickeningly sweet teriyaki sauce. Next time I went, I dropped by and ordered takeout for lunch with 4 co-workers. The gap between the first order coming out and the last was 15 mins. Total wait time was 35 minutes. Lots of Uber eats order went out the door in between our orders. Will order ahead next time. read more

Do not order from here when they are close to closing,, we have a few times, and it has been soggy and cold. They don't make it fresh and it's gross. At $18 bucks for French fries and a bit of chicken, you expect it to be fresh! read more

The fries too I love it, it's still crunchy even after being soaked with the sauce. If I can give a lot more stars I would! Highly recommend. I cannot wait to try the spicier flavor. read more
