This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I've always been curious about its location…read moresince it's tucked away in the corner of the community and not the easiest to find. Finally made it today, and I was impressed! Great service paired with great food. The prices are very reasonable for the quality--Corn Cheese for $10 in 2025 Canada is a steal! The grilled squid was disappointing--too dry and not worth the $24. I wouldn't recommend ordering it. We had a reservation and arrived 10 minutes late, but they kindly waited for us (they allow a maximum 15-minute grace period for reservations). If you make a reservation, they'll offer you a private room, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was just right--not too loud but lively enough to enjoy. For 3 people, including a 60oz beer, the bill came to $130 no tax. Overall, a great experience, and I'd definitely return (just not for the grilled squid!). Lol

It's very easy to eat multiple pieces without feeling too greasy. The meat is also well flavoured, juicy, and tender. Having tried all/most of the flavours, I'd recommend their original and garlic soy the most and I'd rate them 9.3/10.

Free refills on the pop (self serve) this is one of the better places in the food court, not very busy when I've seen it. Some of the best fast food I've eaten.

I would give 5 stars but they told me there are no refills even though the fountain pop faces the customer, If there are no refills then don't make me pour my own drink.

I considered eating at Koryo about five times, but never took the plunge--that is until I read…read moreLauren's review. Today I was at West Edmonton Mall, and I wasn't really that hungry, but I really wanted to try Koryo. I got the BBQ Chicken Main Dish. It was only $7, and it came with plenty of food--much more than I was expecting. It came with two chicken thighs, two scoops of rice, and two side dish choices. I got the green beans and the potatoes. They also smothered my food in a delicious sauce. The chicken was very good. It was cooked well, and it was very tender. The rice was good--not too sticky. The green beans surprised me, because they were purposely cold. I wasn't crazy about that, but it was still good. The potatoes were to die for. They were very crispy on the outside, yet very soft on the inside. I had to take at least half of my food home, because I couldn't eat it all, and the worker was nice enough to give me a little box to put it in. Koryo was like eating at an actual restaurant--even better than some restaurant food I've had, and it's cheaper too. I'll definitely be coming here again!

July 6th was National Fried Chicken Day so of course I had to get some fried chicken. These are…read moreKorean Fried Chicken and I ordered and picked up 3 different flavours from here, they were also all half orders and just look at how much fried chicken I got. Flavours were Original Mild, Soy Garlic and Snow Cheese. The fried chicken were still hot and crispy after I got home and they tasted amazing! Such a hidden gem and they are located near NAIT, the owners were also nice to chat with. Definitely one of my go to place for Korean Fried Chicken on the Northside. Highly recommended if you love KFC...Korean Fried Chicken that is!

Found this little hidden gem of a place when I was searching for some Fried Chicken, and Chicken…read morefor you does not disappoint on their chicken ! Across the street from the NAIT Campus, we came on a Friday evening when it wasn't very busy in the area, but I can see where finding parking nearby might be a huge issue. There is only street parking around this area. Chicken For You is a small space inside a strip mall along 118th Ave. Most of the strip mall places were either shut or non-existent. It was a little desolate along this area. Regardless, we walked in and there are 5, maybe 6 tables. You order from the counter and then take a seat anywhere. We decided to hunker at a table near the TV where there was a K-Pop show going on ! We both ordered Combo meals, Mild Chicken and one with Fries, the other with Fried Rice. The gal at the counter told us it would be about 20 mins as they cook the chicken fresh when the order is placed. There were a number of Skip/DoorDash/Uber Eats deliveries that came in and left in the time that we were waiting. So clearly it's fairly popular. When our food was ready the gal came rushing out of the kitchen. Not what I expected... for $11 - Combo with Fries & $13 - Combo with Fried Rice, I thought there would be only 2 pieces of chicken... but No! 6 pieces in one and 7 in the other. The first bite and this chicken just came out of the fryer ! Piping Hot ! Overall, Chicken for You has fabulous Korean style chicken ! Serving sizes are very large, and even a single combo could have fed both of us. The Prices are incredibly reasonable ! The décor for the place is nothing to write home about. While being clean, it feels a bit rough around the edges. While the Fries in the combo are very good, I have to say the Fried Rice was a bit of disappointment. Regardless of the rice, I like this place and am now wanting to try some of the other items on the menu. We'll be back !

You might remember Filistix from the really amazing Filipino restaurant that used to exist…read moredowntown. Unfortunately, they closed at the end of 2024 which was a very sad loss. However, Filistix has continued on in various forms meaning that you can still get your hands on the delicious Filipino food that you know and love! Named Best New Restaurant in CBC Edmonton's Best Restaurants 2019 and Best/Favourite Filipino Restaurant 2020 & 2023 in the Edmonton Journal, it's easy to see that this mecca of Filipino flavours has found it's way into the hearts of Edmontonians. These days, if you are looking your get your Filistix fix there are a few options; their food truck can still be found out and about in the warmer months and are often parked at various events throughout the summer. There's also the main focus of their business, now called The Flavour Agency Catering Co. which features the full range of their delicious food (but yes, you'd have to book this for an event). The most easily accessed option that I can tell would have to be Filistix SUB, located in the basement of the Students' Union Building at the University of Alberta. The hours are a bit tricky: Not open on the weekend and closed by 6:30pm each weeknight, but not impossible. I visited on a Friday evening for an early-ish dinner and it was honestly kinda fun and nostalgic being on campus and seeing all of the students scattered about, working on their studies. Most of the restaurants in the SUB building are located on the first floor so be sure to note that you'll find Filistix in the basement area. A "basement" sounds dank however the space is quite refreshing, with large floor-to-ceiling windows which allow for tons of natural light. The concrete floor feels industrial and there are plenty of tables available for seating. I especially enjoyed the giant steps being used as a chill lounge area covered in bean bag chairs. Filistix itself is set up as a take-out spot but their usual vibe is still present with neon lights making the proclamation of "good food" right under their name. I also really liked their green tile work and fun mural on the back wall. It's a small spot but you can still feel the love and personality that they continue to create. The menu of Ricemeals is small but a lot of their most popular dishes are present. They also serve up alternating lunch specials for variety. All meals are served with steamed rice and their signature Asian slaw and come in two sizes. Any easy choice was the Classic Chicken Adobo (Seasoned roast chicken garnished with a tangy and savoury glaze made from soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, bay leaf and black pepper - $16.00 for large) because adobo is the national dish of the Philippines. The potion size was very generous with three entire chicken thighs included! Adobo is actually a cooking method that can be used for any protein or vegetables. This process is mostly about marinating the food and usually involves browning the meat/veg first and then marinating it. The sweet savoury glaze that coats the dish is a key component! I loved this version of the dish because the chicken itself was so tender. The meat practically fell off the bone and I appreciated the complex flavour profile that's salty from the soy sauce and bright from the vinegar, tangy and slightly sweet. This dish is deeply flavoured and meant to be eaten with rice to soak up the intense sauce. The rice itself was very light and fluffy, combining with the sauce wonderfully. I also enjoyed the crunchy Asian slaw which added a great texture and did a great job of cooling the entire dish down. If you've ever been curious about trying adobo this would be the place to get it from! I also wanted to try the South Pacific Coconut Chicken (Our signature oven-roasted chicken drizzled with a creamy South East Asian-inspired coconut curry sauce - $12.00 for small) because I'd heard that it's one of the best things on the menu. A similar preparation to the adobo, this one uses a curry sauce instead. I LOVED this dish!!! Of the two, I think that this one was my overall favourite. The rich and creamy sweet coconut curry was just so flavourful and delicious. I loved the way that it soaked into the rice, making it taste more like coconut rice. The flavour of this dish was very addictive and while it might be a bit more Thai-leaning than Filipino, it was a huge hit. I added some Extra Chili Oil ($1.00) to my order so that I could amp up the spice level as needed but honestly, the flavours at Filistix are perfect just the way that they are. There are a few sweets available for dessert and I inquired about the Crinkles (a type of cookie) but unfortunately they were all sold out. Overall, I was just happy to see that the Filistix that still exists continues to be very delicious and upholds everything that we have come to know and love about them. I still mourn the loss of their full-scale restaurant but having a place to continue enjoying their delicious flavours i

Max's has a big parking lot and a large indoor dining space, so finding room should not be a problem for families or groups. The only problem? We don't live close enough to go every day!
