Last year when we moved to Calgary, we were exploring different places to see what Calgary had to offer. I started following few food bloggers on instagram to get some insights. I found out that inside Simtopia there is a Korean fried chicken restaurant and it had good reviews. So wanted to try it. I also found out that some of weekdays they have all you can eat for $20. Me and my friends thought this was an amazing deal and decided to try it.
As per their instagram stories they used to show that they have long lines and suggested to come early as you might have to wait. We 3 reached there around 5:30 pm and there was not a soul there. Just couple of staff members. Ambiance is not bad. They have seating for 15-25 people. We got seated right away and our order was taken and were told that in AYCE they offer boneless fried chicken. We ordered every flavour they had.
Food came to table and looked delicious. However it took a nose dive as we took our first bite. The chicken to batter proportion was not right. There was hardly any chicken in there. Almost 60% was all batter. It didn't taste good as all we were tasting was batter. We were not able to finish what we ordered as it was almost batter and there was no real good taste. Since we were not able to finish we were charged $5 extra. We explained them that this is not good chicken, it's just fried batter. They said that's how they make it. We paid and left disappointed. We went to a different restaurant to have dinner as we were still hungry.
We learned our lesson. Everything you see on social media is not true! Stay away from this chicken place. read more
