| - Gushi specializes in karaage chicken, which is a Japanese style fried chicken so most of their dishes will contain their specialty. I have tried their Gushi original and skewer, my next choice would probably be takoyaki as the ones I have in Toronto so far have been quite disappointing.
*Gushi Original - $7.25:
to be honest I'm not a fan of deep fried chicken, but I will always have a soft spot for chicken karaage. Unlike other versions of deep fried chicken, karaage is not greasy and will not make you feel gross or drowned in oil afterwards. The chicken karaage at gushi achieved just that, it was juicy with a crispy-light surface, while still remained succulent when cold.
The purple rice was alright, I found it to be cold and hard to eat :(. The rice can be bland for some people, however the karaage had a right amount of salt in the seasonings, with a hint of spiciness from the mayo sauce, when eaten in one bite it was a delicious combination! Although they didn't give me any lemon wedges, there was some ginger to refresh your palate so I can forgive that! :p
*Gushi Chicken Skewer - $6:
The skewer was longer than an iPhone 6 Plus! (Yes sorry for the weird comparison, but I can't think of any other object to compare to lol).
Again, the skewer was juicy and delicious! I wished they served this with some lemon because I loveeee squeezing a liberal amount of lemon before eating karaage ;). It really helps to lighten the dish and kill any kind of gaminess of the chicken.
