I've never been to Quickly in Calgary (with four locations and counting) but I have been to the one in Edmonton. One bud absolutely loooooooves this place while another is the complete opposite. He's ready to boycott them. That joke that Quickly should be called Slowly? Very, very justifiable.
We came to the Chinatown (OG location) after our late night dinner to grab a couple more bites to eat along with some bubble tea. The place was busy but in no way was it packed.
Service here, not going to lie, was painful. We ate dinner faster than it took for Quickly to get our order right. Brutal! If you're in a rush/have other plans, don't come here. They only have three Vitamix's to make their drinks. Maybe get more?
- Taiwanese popcorn chicken ($8.99) - bud #1 swears by how awesome their Taiwanese popcorn chicken is. I thought they were good - hot, well seasoned and crispy but the rest of the gang said this wasn't up the the norm.
- Salt & pepper king oyster mushroom ($8.99) - everyone seemed to enjoy this more than the popcorn chicken. Nice breading and the mushroom's inside were tasty.
- Grass jelly milk tea ($4.95 large) - one bud's bubble tea of choice for the night. I'd already had BBT earlier so I didn't bother getting one here. Plus, I wasn't a big fan of the ones we had in Edmonton so...
