| - I'd been eyeing this place for a while and I finally decided to come on a Monday afternoon. We arrived right before the lunch hour rush began and snagged the window table with a lovely view of the sunlight pouring through the spring leaves on the street. I'd highly recommend sitting there if you can, it was nice to feel the sun and take in the atmosphere of the hanging plants. There's additional seating in the back too, but I personally like natural lighting.
Not being too hungry, my friend and I decided to share the KFC as our main entree. I wanted to try their wings alone, but they were sold out of these at that point in the month. We got the noodles and tempura veggies as a side. There was a wasabi sauce that accompanied it, but I asked for if there were any other ones and the guy at checkout kindly handed me a plum sauce. I personally enjoyed the plum sauce more than the wasabi one.
The food itself was really good. The combination of the fried parts with the crisp salad and cold noodles helped satisfy my craving. If I would go back and change something I might have gotten the beef instead of chicken to reduce the amount of oil, but it wasn't too overwhelming and I didn't feel heavy or gross after eating it. The chicken was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, i kept wanting to take more bites. And to know that these ingredients have good origins also helped my conscious.
We also got ginger beer and bubble tea as drinks $4 each. They weren't the greatest compliments, or at least not worth their price. But it was a good experiment. I'd still go to chick n bubbly for my bubble tea.
Overall, I had high expectations going in and I believe that they were met. The ambiance, the food, the price, it was worth it for a fulfilling meal. Definitely would come back to try their wings when they're back in stock!
