| - This place is actually a franchise store for a chain in asia. I believe it may be the first in toronto. The theme they are going for is korean inspired chinese style chicken joint. So we ordered the hot plate as seen in the pictures. basically what they are famous for. and boy was the price expensive. the smallest one we can find is 38.80 before tax and tip so your looking at 40 something dollars for what turned out to be not a lot of chicken, fries, salad, or food. However one would hope that the quality would take over, this however is not so much, the chicken is a little overly salty, even with the rice (which was made soggy) it was a bit too salty, the basic flavour is okay mixed with the cheese sauce, but it is still too salty in general. the salad was flooded with sauce wayy too much sauce, you actually needed more lettuce to supplement it. and the fries was not crispy. Although there was sweet potato fries, you can tell that they had pre-fried these a long time ago, and just re-heated it, which is kinda crazy considering fries aren't that expensive and your charging 40 something for a 2 person meal.
the interior is nice looking and clean, and the service was okay, however the food was just not that great, and the price was way too expensive for what you get. overall i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, as it isn't really worth the price. and the experience is not unique. there are tons of korean joints that can do the same thing in toronto.
i realize this place was built for a mainland chinese audience in mind, as the promotions and the staff don't really know english. i dealt with a server who spoke zero english, and promotions for discounts are all in pure chinese. unless you have a chinese friend even if you wanted to try this place, you best avoid it.
