A clean, lunchtime staple. Very fresh chicken, flame broiled before your very eyes & many options to add to your bowl. Always pretty packed here during peak but it's to be expected in the belly of the beast! For under $20 you can easily get 2 lunches out of it, value-tastic!
We got the mini bowl each & it was A LOT, I don't know how people can eat the full size bowl. I got the BBQ chicken, guacamole, beans, corn & cucumber with rice. My partner got the garlic chicken, guacamole, tomatoes, onions & cucumber. Both bowls were super tasty & good price / value. This is a bit like fast food so service was solid & seating was basic but if you are looking for tasty, healthy, customizable food for good price I recommend Poulet Rouge on Ste Catherine.
