Two months of buzzing past the same row of Market 707 Cargo Street Vendors on the 505 streetcar since June 2013, I've finally made my way up here upon a mate's craving for mayo and rice (and you better bet he went for an extra drizzle of mayo).
Good ol' Gushi.
Their menu is mainly focused around their all-time popular Deep-fried to order, Gushi Chicken on either rice or fries ($8~9). Their Deep-fried Chicken uses NO eggs or dairy in the process; they are dusted lightly in a potato starch for minimum oil-absorption and the ultimate crisp!
**A box of the deep-fried chicken goods alone runs for $9, and a party pack runs for $25.
LIFE'S BIGGEST PICKLE: one hotdog (on rice) for $3 or two hotdogs on rice for $5???!
I went for the less greedier option, and had one (sheesh, who was I trying to impress?) - but, no regrets, it was just enough! The boil-and-go type of hotdog was served up, battered and fried-to-order, on a bed of mixed rice and garnishes.
CONCLUSION: Get ready to become well-fed for well under $10! ...But, sad to say, both definitely needed more sauce (and exra sauce is extra $$ whhaat). I AM THE DANG KEWPIE MAYO QUEEN. Didn't you know? I would like to come back to try another one of their more flavoursome Gushi Chicken. I have my eye on the Nanban Tetsuya.
** Tip for the penny-pincher folks: The prices on the billboard in-store do not reflect the correct price, the online menu does!
