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.

Frying Pan Express is a solid fried chicken spot specializing in Nashville-style spicy chicken, and…read morethey truly live up to their name. 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.

Given this, the restaurant was quite busy but regardless we only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. Once seated our server was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and didn't seem overwhelmed by the volume of tables he had. We both ordered the beef dip, which was warm and comforting for a rainy night. I ordered mine with the Caesar salad, which was nothing special, but went well as a simple side with the sandwich. After dinner, we decided to get the key lime parfait, which looked delicious from the photos on the menu, and our server also noted it was quite popular. Although it was somewhat tasty, we both felt it was quite heavy on the salt for the crumble layer. We would have preferred if this was less. However, it was still a good dish. At one point in the night, a table was sat across from us with two children around 10-13 years old. One of the children had a watch that he was playing a podcast or some kind of show loudly on that was very distracting and annoying. We weren't sure that it was that table though, so we asked our server about it. He very tactfully responded that it was in fact that table, but that if it continued to bother us he would happily move us somewhere quieter. We declined and said we would see how long it continued for, but appreciated his response and the option. All in all, I would come back here to try some of their other drinks or dishes.

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.

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.
