| - Heard a lot of buzz about this place and decided to check it out - overhyped. Almost everything we ordered was bland, forgettable, and the execution was poor.
If you must try this place out, the following dishes were ok: mc hammer, fu manchu, schricken satay fried rice.
The rest of the dishes we ordered, I would probably never order again: shrimp po po, antipasto, funny fish, deep fried goldmember.
I was most disappointed with their fried chicken, which people seemed to be raving about. I think my main issue with it was the lack of seasoning...the meat was also a bit dry. There are so many places in toronto that make amazing fried chicken and kanpai just didn't do it for me.
The worst dish of the night was the og bao. The pork tasted like it was simply boiled (not even heated on the flat top) and it was so bland! The bao had some cabbage (not a slaw or anything...just plain cabbage), cilantro, and came with a sauce/dip that did absolutely nothing for it.
Ordered all three desserts to share - enjoyed none of them. The wow bao was probably the worst out of the three.
Our server was pleasant and the decor was nice.
