I came from California to charge up at all the superchargers in the area to win a contest and also…read moreinvited my brother and his wife who live about an hour and a half from the restaurant for their belated birthday celebration. Parking is behind the entrance and you do have to pay. I think if you come after 6pm, or maybe it was 7pm? It's only $3.50 (CAD if you're reading this from the US or something. All prices are in CAD because it's in Canada obviously. Lol) for overnight? Normally $2.50 an hour or something like that.
I found out about the place on a YouTube video from CantoMando (I was going to try The Heartbreak Chef's food as well, but it seemed like they closed down?). A lot of the time stuff from social media turns out to be ehhh whatever, but not this place!
I didn't capture the interior, but it had a very nice cozy vibe. There were beanbag chairs, some toys and stuff on a shelf to play with. The seating was mostly booth style with some having chairs that were nicely cushioned and everything was well kept. The bathroom had a funny don't clog it or you have to fix it sign and the table had a qr code for a digital menu as well as a notice that they discourage tipping! I love that! Tipping has been getting out of control everywhere...
Anyway, enough of that. You want to know about the food, right?! Wow! The food here is amazing! I wanted to try all the different sauce flavors. The waiter at first couldn't think up the best way to do that, so he consulted his coworker. (Both very nice people, definitely hope to see them again when I visit with more of my family next year.) We ended up ordering the Sarang Platter as recommended by the waitress/hostess/cashier since we had a party of 3. The chicken was extremely crispy, moist, juicy and well seasoned. The squid and fries as well, minus the juicy moist part. Lol Every sauce flavor was great. I couldn't even rank them from favorite to least favorite. To me, they were all equally good, just depends what you're in the mood for at the time. You can't go wrong either way, unless you're just a picky eater and don't like certain things like garlic, green onion, soy sauce, honey, etc. Lol But honestly, you don't even need the sauce! I would have been perfectly happy with the entire platter and no sauces! The pickled daikon confused me as first with the color added. I'm so used to seeing it just white, but it was perfectly crunchy, sweet and vinegary. Compliments to the chef! Portion size is generous. It was listed as for 3 people, but it could have fed 4 no problem. Oops, I forgot to mention the coleslaw thing. It was just meh. Basically thousand Island dressing with thinly shredded cabbage. Pretty basic so you can't go wrong, but nothing special about it, but don't let that final note be what you remember. Remember the delicious chicken! Lol
We were all stuffed and had some fries left to take home. The waitress wrote thank you and drew a cute face on it! Haha I love it! After eating, I stayed a bit and talked with them about my journey and why I was there and it turned into a Tesla talk! Haha Oooh boy, I love me some good Tesla talk! I'm known for it amongst my friends and family. Lol Meanwhile my brother and his wife were just waiting to go. I didn't want to leave. Haha
Anyways, great place, great people, great food! I definitely recommend coming here for some amazing fried chicken and all the other stuff! Hopefully you all enjoy it was much as I did and will in the future!
