Union Social Eatery recently opened up in Spectrum Square close to the airport, in the plaza across the street from Planet Bowl. Like their other locations, decor is contemporary with booths, wooden bar top seating, and marquee lighting highlighting the latter half of their name.
We came with a group of 17 people on a Saturday night and had no difficulty getting our party seated as it was pretty empty at 10:30pm. It did however take a long time to have our orders and drinks taken and delivered. The staff were nice but I suspect they were not yet efficient at taking on a large party like ours given the fact that this restaurant opened recently.
They have quite a selection of pub type food fare with lots of international options such as banh mi sandwiches, Korean pulled pork tacos, and chicken vindaloo. Prices for food ranged from $10 to $26. We ordered the chicken banh mi sandwich which was on special that night. There was an option to have a dragon roll as our side dish for an additional $8 but we opted for fries. Our sandwich was flavourful with the grilled marinated chicken and pickled vegetables. Friends ordered the mushroom cheese burger, the chicken panang noodle bowl, the korean pork tacos and all said they enjoyed their food.
The cocktails were actually fairly reasonably priced ($7.25-$9). I really enjoyed the Soho Pom ($8.95), a refreshing lychee-citrus cocktail which contained Soho lychee liqueur, Pama pomegranate liquor, lemon juice and sparkling Cava.
I hope given time that timing of food service will improve. Would definitely consider returning if in the area. read more
