The bun was nicely toasted and held together well (which isn't always the case with gluten-free options), and the chicken itself was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and packed with flavour. It came out hot and was served with a side of fresh fries that complemented it perfectly. The only downside was finding a small chicken bone in my sandwich. I let the staff know, and while it didn't completely ruin the experience, it's definitely something worth noting. Overall, it's a great spot for a tasty meal and I'd still come back, just with a bit more caution next time.

We ordered: 10pc Chicken Family Meal with Coleslaw, Onion Rings & Biscuits Butterfly Shrimp with Tartar Sauce Popcorn Shrimp with Cajun Cocktail Sauce We ordered the Chicken Mild but there was a layer of chicken at the bottom that was far from mild. Everyone said it was quite spicy. I brought some leftovers home for my husband to try and he said it was the spiciest Popeyes chicken he'd ever had. Fried Chicken, Fried Onion Rings, Fried Shrimp...So much fried food on the table and yet, I think the Biscuits were actually my favourite item. They were quite soft and moist inside. Not so impressed with the fried food, especially when we ordered "mild" and received "spicy." Also, when I arrived I had to wait about 15 minutes at least for my order even though I had specified a pickup time on the app. Won't be rushing back there anytime soon.

My mom seemed to enjoy the noodles when I bought them for her last time and I never heard any complaints about the rice from my brother. Maybe the food was better that day than when I ordered my rice. Or maybe they had issues too and just weren't being very vocal about it.

Last time I came here for a Mother/ Daughter lunch with my daughter. This time it was a Mother/…read moreDaughter lunch with my mom, so I was the daughter this time. Mom ordered an M Classic breakfast while I ordered the Tofu Lettuce Wraps. There was no mention of cilantro in the description of Tofu Lettuce Wraps on the menu but I made sure to mention to our waitress anyways, "no cilantro." She asked if it was an allergy and I told her it wasn't an allergy but "I just really don't like it." Despite the fact that the menu never mentioned cilantro, and despite the fact that I actually specified, "no cilantro", I took a bit of my dish and to my horror, realized that there was cilantro in my dish. When I informed the waitress that there was cilantro in my meal, she offered to have the kitchen make it again, without cilantro. I opted to just choose an entirely different dish instead, so I chose the Avocado Toast. Guess what? Another lady came out a few minutes later and informed me that for the Avocado Toast, the kitchen uses a smashed avocado mixture that is premixed with cilantro in it. What is it with restaurants thinking that it's OK to not mention cilantro on the menu when dishes contain cilantro? I know I'm not the only person in the world who has an aversion to cilantro. The lady asked if I would like to have just plain slices of avocado on my toast instead of the smashed avocado mixture. Yes...of course I'd prefer that, and so I confirmed that yes, I would like plain slices of avocado on my avocado toast instead. Disregarding all the cilantro trouble I had on this visit, food was pretty good. Service was a bit slow though. I think I will take a very long break from dining at Milestones after this most recent visit.

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.

I came in to check for a sauce my friend asked for but stayed for a bite! Did I mention that this place is cheap AF!? I don't know how they do it but it's incredibly affordable and the quality of food is impressive! I got their Veggies on Fire (Cheddar, lettuce, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, pickles, red onion, banana peppers, Dijon, spicy mayo - Hot Sauce: Dawson's Shawarma). This was $8. Plus I added waffle fries, which I don't even care for. But these were heavily seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sandwiches come with chips but you can't miss the fries. You can choose which breads you want and I choose sourdough. Highly recommend that you toast that bread. The sandwich was huge and staked with so many veggies. The hot sauce was very mild but paired so well. The service was phenomenal! Above and beyond and so friendly. The place gets quite busy, understandable, and they are still so patient and friendly. I can't wait to try their extensive menu and order their veggie friendly menu options! And, obvy, their 1000 hot sauces!

Actually I just stuffed myself with their wings and sandwiches an hour ago, and just writing this review makes me want more....yup....:/ It was our first time there and what really stood out was how helpful and friendly their staff are. Truly, genuinely and whole heartedly they take care of you.

Looking forward to going back.

Needn't have worried as there was exactly "one" person there. Not a really positive sign. While we were in there, about an hour, three guys came in and a delivery guy delivered, that's it. Our server seemed distracted and uninterested, which is tough to fault, given the lack of things to do when the place is empty. The service was pretty slow even though there was no one in the place. The lovely K ordered the Wing special and a Caesar salad. Our server came and said they only had enough to make a small Caesar so she changed the order to a Spinach salad. They also made a small Caesar, and brought it as well. How do you not have makings for one of the three salads you have on the menu at opening? Shook my head at that. The pizza was also below average, I don't think they even make their own dough given its taste. There is no ambience at all really as the accompanying photos show. Overall uninspired, poor service and below par food. Hardly a recipe for success. Sad really, there is a significant investment in the place completely going to waste. We will not return.

I'm not sure why it wasn't busy here. Anyways we ordered 10 pc wings ($8), Truffle fries ($8) with Mimosa ($5). Chicken wings were okay. It tasted like something I can easily make at home. Truffle fries were amazing. The portion was big and it was packed with flavours. I hardly tasted truffle in it, but it tasted more garlicky which I didn't mind. Mimosa was great! Although I tasted some wine in it, the drink was refreshing. Service was pretty memorable. Staff were very kind and friendly they greeted and smiled at us. I've rarely been to an establishment where staff were so friendly and smiling especially in Vancouver. Ladies were doing fantastic job serving customers. Angry Otters is a great pub for a dining with friends or family.
