Can't wait to go back!! We shared the boneless combo regular/tao chicken. It was unbelievable! We'll add sour cream onion chicken & snowing fries next time!
Generous portions & extremely flavorful. We chose mild Tao- will amp it up to medium next time - for a little kick.
We'll be back to see the very friendly staff, in this very clean take-out, again this week!
For our first visit, we asked the staff for recommendations & they did not disappoint! The team was super friendly & happily guided us toward their signature chicken platter. We ordered the half-&-half: one side was glazed in a tangy, sweet-spicy sauce (though fair warning as Mexican, it's more flavorful than fiery), while the other side was simply fried with aromatic spices. Both halves were incredibly tender, crispy, & packed with flavor. The plain fried half also came with a tasty honey-mustard-style dipping sauce on the side.
We also ordered the lemon chili fries, which were a true explosion of flavors & absolutely delicious.
Unfortunately, the'Mom's Spicy Tteokbokki' didn't quite hit the mark for me personally. That said, if I come back, & I definitely plan to, I'll be ordering that chicken & those fries again without hesitation. They were absolutely phenomenal
I keep coming back & thru quality is still high with a great customer service
This wasn't my first time visiting, but the young Asian lady who served us this time was by far the kindest & most welcoming staff member we've encountered. She had a genuine smile & provided excellent service throughout our visit.
There was a small issue with our potato wedges, but the wait was ultimately worth it, & the overall experience was very positive.
It's rare these days to see someone so young consistently provide such warm & attentive customer service. We'll definitely be coming back,not only for the food, but also for the excellent service! :)
I was conflicted by the mixed reactions online, so I decided to give it a try myself.
I ordered the sweet & spicy chicken with steamed rice. I wasn't really a fan of the rice-it tasted almost like it had some kind of vinegar base, & for me, the flavour was way too strong.
BUT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE CHICKEN. 😭
It almost tasted like General Tao, but made with what tasted like real, good-quality chicken. Crispy coating on the outside, soft & tender inside, with that perfect sweet-&-spicy sauce. I chose mildly spicy, so it wasn't flaming hot, just enough spice to give it a little kick.
Honestly, it was such a pleasure to eat. This is the first time in a long time that I genuinely enjoyed sweet & spicy chicken.
I used to be a HUGE fan of General Tao, but after being disappointed so many times with the versions I've tried here in Montreal, I eventually gave up on it.
Then this Korean restaurant came along with its own version, & somehow… it gave me back my trust in Asian cuisine. 😂
The rice wasn't for me, but that chicken? Simply a really good experience.
