I walk by Mr.Chu everyday coming from work or the gym. It's about a 3 min walk from Yonge & Finch / Finch station and is conveniently beside a bubble tea place (Coco) to complement the churros or some Korean restaurants so you can munch on something sweet after getting lunch or dinner. The yellow mini food truck is hard to miss. Usually busy around lunch or dinner times but never more than a 10-15 minute wait when it gets extremely busy.
Food *****
Mr.Chu is all about Korean churros, a unique taste and style compared to other churros places found in Kesington Market. You get a great bang for your buck as portions are pretty big and filling for the price you pay ($3.50). You can add 1 glaze (chocolate, cream cheese, condensed milk) + 1 topping (almonds, oreo crumble, sprinkles) for $1 more or add vanilla/chocolate ice cream for an extra $2.50. These churros, while sweet, don't feel overly greasy and provides a soothing balance of taste.
Service *****
Jack and Jun are the two cool dudes that run Mr.Chu and they always provide a personal, friendly service with some laughs and a smile. I'm always happy to strike up a quick chat with them if I past by and it's not so busy.
Ambiance **
It's a food truck, so no seating besides some benches nearby.
Tips/Closing comments
- Definitely get the toppings for $1 more (condensed milk + oreo crumble is my fave)
- Mr.Chu is a unique and delicious Korean churro place that you should definitely try if you're near Yonge & Finch and you are craving something sweet and unique
