Although the char siu was super fatty, it had a lot of flavor. The egg tart was delicious. I believe they get them ordered from Maxim's bakery. I could eat more than one back to back. I loved the sauce that came with the salt baked chicken. The marinated eggplant had so much garlic, which I also loved. The chicken wings were so good. It's been years since I've had them, and they didn't disappoint. We ordered catering but the customer service was great. They responded quite quickly to my email.

Service was prompt and friendly. The place is huge with many different rooms. Despite the cooking at each table, the room felt cool. Noise is at acceptable levels, despite a festive atmosphere.

Small and cozy restaurant, with good vibes for a date night out! Shoutout to our amazing waitress. She was so sweet and welcoming. I wish we got her name!! I had no expectations walking in and didn't have any expectations. I was surprised that the portions were actually decent. My boyfriend's favourite was the jumbo prawns-- he liked the texture and flavour! It was the opposite for me.. I thought the outside made it hard to eat and it was a little too salty for me. Their salmon don and chicken karaage was superb though. Flavours were on point for both and I just really enjoyed them overall. We both agreed that the beef tartare was nothing special. Didn't really taste the freshness of the beef. This was a pleasant experience overall!

Service was pretty friendly and overall they were really good.

In the mood for something Asian and this place stood out like a guiding light in a heavily fogged wasteland. Notice their dish prices were quite inexpensive when I realise there were extra charges for protein if desired (chicken, shrimp, beef). Vegetarians would love this place. Ordered the Laksa with shrimp ($3 extra) and the Penang curry with chicken ($2 extra). Both dishes were not bad, both dishes arrived piping hot. The Laksa was slightly spicy with a rich coconut based broth, plenty of vegetables with shrimp (previously frozen) Penang curry was very good, again plenty of vegetables with sliced white chicken meat. I was not expecting much but this fast-food style Asian restaurant was unique when compared to the surrounding pizza, burger, Mexican, middle Eastern food places on Granville. Kudos to the owners for their bravery in establishing a rice and noodle option for the denizens of Granville street.

I could have used a bit…read moremore pickled radish and greens to balance it out, but honestly, it was the best I've ever had. We ordered a half serving and we couldn't finish. Dwenjang jjigae had an interesting twist. It was lighter and more radish-forward than the traditional version, which I didn't mind, but it felt a bit unusual to call it dwenjang jjigae. It came with mushrooms, radish, tofu, and thin slices of beef. Overall, it was light and very enjoyable. Soondae was different from the typical version I'm used to. Here, it's made with an innards casing and the filling was also different, like meaty with less noodles. It had a strong flavor and aroma that I didn't prefer but the texture was soft, not chewy, and it paired nicely with kimchi and radish. It was fine to try but I probably wouldn't order it again. We ordered a small, and couldn't finish. Side dishes were limited to three varieties (fish cake, kimchi, bean sprouts) and served in small portions. With the richness of the bossam and strong taste of the soondae, we needed more kimchi and pickled radish but it was hard to get our server's attention, likely because she was busy attending to all the tables. We enjoyed the warm ambiance, and it seemed like many diners were enjoying the army stew. We'll be back to try more items and for the bossam.
