I discovered Gushi Japanese Street Food in 2016 at Union Summer located at Union Station. I was very happy to read that they were opening a food stall on Queen St. W. across the street ftom the CP24 building.
Today, I ordered the Nanban Everything Combo Meal for $14.50. The combo comes with 2 pieces of Gushi chicken, 3 pieces of takoyaki (octopus), 1 vegetable croquette on a bed of purple rice. Added was pickled onions, green onions, Japanese pepper and lettuce. Dressing added was garlic aioli, citrus vinaigrette.
If this is your first time at Gushi or first time eating Japanese street food, try or share one of the combo meals as you get to sample a little bit of everything Gushi makes. Of course, Gushi is best known for karaage, Japanese fried chicken.
I consider Gushi chicken my comfort food. Their chicken is fried made to order and does not have that greasy taste. Good for me because I can eat more Gushi chicken without my stomach regreting :-) The chicken is crispy with juicy meat. The purple rice is something I could see myself eating every day. Nice dressing for the salad.
