I love papa Chang's original location and I was really excited when I found out this location opened because it is much more convenient being closer to Toronto.
My usual items are the minced pork on rice and the popcorn chicken bento. I ordered these items here to share with a friend and we brought it over to the food court tables to eat.
My first thoughts was that the popcorn chicken wasn't crispy. It was soggy. I was really disappointed because the fried foods at the original location tasted freshly made. Whereas this location lacks in the quality of the food. Perhaps it's because it's in a booth inside a mall and there are less customers compared to the original restaurant location, and the turnaround for food is slower so it is less fresh. But regardless, I was quite disappointed and I will probably not recommend this location.
