| - Saw this on IG and developed a fried chicken craving, so decided to check the place out. Located at the Midland and Finch plaza with QQ Thai ice cream, Chatime, etc.
Came here with mom and bro. Menu was pretty restrictive. The DM hot plate, which assumingly was what they are known for, had limited sizes with the smallest one starting at $38.88. Because we wanted the hot plate (this is what I came for), we were forced to pick that and be left with little else to choose from. (IMO they should have smaller sizes to cater to smaller groups if the DM hotplate is their specialty. Great way to force an upsell.) Also, the menu did not have a lot of English descriptions so you'll most likely have to ask the waiter for clarification on what it is you are ordering. For example, the English description would literally just say the name of the item, e.g. "5 DM", while the Chinese description clearly calls out ingredients such as rice cake, carrots, etc. I can sorta read Chinese so it isn't a big issue for me. Just calling out the concern for people who can't read Chinese and may have allergies or adverse to certain ingredients.
We ordered the hot plate which came with Korean style spicy chicken. Came with salad, fries and unlimited rice. It wasn't bad but I've had better sauces at Korean restaurants. Overall the novelty of the hot plate is really what you're paying for. Also got fried chicken on the side and at the end of it that was way too much food. Saw many tables leaving food behind because the portions were too much.
So should you try this place? Definite yes if the following apply to you:
A) Your motive is to Instagram the hot plate
B) You're with a large group (so that you can really try everything and not feel like you're wasting food)
Otherwise, it's an okay choice if you're looking for chicken.
