| - Wow. Both times I have been to Anju my meal has just been outstanding. When Tiffany N. notified the Yelp world that Anju will be closing its current location at the end of the month since they have outgrown their space, and it may be a few months before a new location is sourced, I jumped at the chance to revisit Anju again with my fellow yelpers.
I was so excited to drink soju, and had to convince my fiance it was the right decision, when he just wanted to get a beer. I knew I couldn't do a whole flagon by myself, but apparently Tiffany N can! We went for the mango aloe soju, which was refreshing and went down so easy.
Then our plates started to arrive!
Everything Chef Roy touches is pure magic. The spicy salmon tacos, crispy tofu and yam fries were delicious and packed with flavour and perfect for sharing between me and my fiance. We also shared the fried chicken and pa-ffles and holy mother clucker was it ever good. Fried egg on top, 3 huge coated pieces of a sriracha sauce concoction resting on green onion waffles, with a cream pitcher of maple/spicy sauce to drizzle over.
We knew we had to get a piece of everything in every bite, so spent 5 mins deconstructing the plate in easy to chopstick pieces. Sabahat N and her fiance who basically ordred all the same dishes we did (cause they are awesome) were able to eat their chicken and pa-ffles much more gracefully then us.
Seriously, don't even bother getting chicken and waffles at the Waffle and Chix food truck, you will be so disappointed knowing that this homerun of a plate lives at Anju.
As you can tell, I still can't get this meal out of my mind. I wanted to eat dessert so badly, but I was going to burst. I also now want to eat at Anju everyday until it closes, but it might not be a financially responsible decision.
I will miss you in Anju, I promise to come back and visit all the time when you re-open in your fancy new digs. In the meantime, I will be dreaming of my meal for weeks to come.
