They were busy as usual and we were at the end of our meal. I went to the bathroom, my husband was still at the table, paying the bill. When I came back, he had my purse and jacket in his hands and was at the door. The boss lady didn't event wait for me to come back to the table before she kicked us out. It just didn't feel right. I know they were busy, but we were there first, didn't skimp on ordering a full meal and we were not dawdling. We had actually made a reservation. We will not be back for a while. Too bad because we miss the food. We will be looking for alternative places to dine in where we are valued customers.

Rens Cafe is a beautiful dinner spot with a glass-ceiling indoor terrace that fills the space with…read moresoft natural light and creates a relaxed, airy atmosphere. I ordered the mixed mushrooms with glass noodles from the main dishes menu (one of the few vegetarian options available). It's a simple stir-fry--fragrant garlic, mushrooms, and silky glass noodles. Nothing overly complicated, but comforting and satisfying in its own way. At first, it feels quite understated, almost plain-looking, but it grows on you with every bite. The little chilli sauce on the side is what really elevates everything. A bold mix of green chilli, garlic, ginger, and lime juice--it completely wakes up the dish and turns each bite into something bright and punchy. It honestly made me realize how much I miss ginger in everyday cooking. The stir-fry is a bit oily, but it seems intentional, helping keep the glass noodles from clumping and giving them that smooth, glossy texture. My only wish is that there were more plant-based options on the menu--because the space and flavours here really deserve a stronger vegetarian selection.

The moment i walked in and saw the fridge and the wide variety of drinks from alcohol to non alcohol drinks and my most favorite yuzu flavoured drink !!! I knew i made the right choice by being random and adventurous. I tried a few things on their menu as shared in the pics. Service was top notch and the green tea was yum too! They take all types of payments it seems and food came out pretty quick. Very introvert friendly i'd say and low key energy , good for a date spot to have good conversation and not have to worry about screaming id say! If you also love building your own nigiri platter or omakese, definitely check this out!! Prices are good too!! First spot i had after Japan and the sushi still hit the spot !!!

Service here is pretty quick and friendly, and makes it a nice place to catch up. Chicken is fantastic and quite reasonably priced. Quite consistent and an easy option to default to. Lots of people get take out, so you'll most likely be one of the few tables there. Recommend giving it a try!

Finally got to try this place out among a sea of other Korean fried chicken places in the vicinity…read more Parking is available on Hastings, as well as the side streets. The inside is pretty modern. Staff are friendly and chatty. What sets this place apart is their special fried chicken. Most other places just dump some random sauce out of the bottle, but for the special flavours here, there is actually some substance to the sauce. For the Gangnam style, the sauce contains actual pieces of sauteed onions and jalapenos. This was super delicious. Special mention. Definitely worth the slight premium. Buddy and I also had the Hot Spicy one. The menu shows 4 chili peppers (supposedly super spicy), but it wasn't that spicy at all. There was a nice bit of heat for sure, but was nowhere near the intensity for melting one's face off. In other words, do not expect anything like hot wings at a western pub. This flavour is also recommended. I would say this is my new favourite KFC. I would even put it above my usual go-to place (350F). We have a new winner. Highly recommended.

I will definitely come back next time.
