Kiwa – Korean

The spicy seafood stew was full of flavour and even included some squid!

Crunchy – KFC NW

Conundrum: Default to Kentucky Fried Chicken, or try Crunchy, a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant. Odd that these are literally steps away from each other! Made fresh to order – the box I was given was huge (12pcs for ~ $24), crispy batter with tender chicken pieces and a side of fries. They had interesting flavours…

Bon-Ga Korean

This is a gem in Chinatown! Bento box lunch special was HUGE with #kfc, beef rib, BBQ beef, pork, a bowl of miso and more! The sides of radish and sesame sprouts lightened up the meal as well. Enjoyed the k-pop background music too. It is a bit hidden in Chinatown, but worth the small…

Wow Chicken – KFC Trek #1

After a long day of moving, we visited the takeout window at Wow Chicken located on 10th St in Kensington. Perfect for picnics/last minute group takeout, you can order by the half or whole chicken, with a range of sauces to choose from. This is not your traditional KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) but Korean Fried…
