A Korean restaurant specializing in fried chicken
š 512 Yates St, Victoria, BC V8W 1K8 Tucked in Victoria Downtown, this tiny Korean spotās famous for fried chickenābut funny enough, I never seem to order it! š The place is small with limited seats, so show up late and you might have to wait. But itās always surprisingly busy, and the service? Super on top of itānever have to wait long for help! ā Corn Cheese š°13 Creamy corn thatās so good! They use sweet, crisp fruit cornājuicy with every biteāand toss in a little raw onion for crunch. Served on a hot (hot plate) that keeps the cream cheese melty, the just wafts up as it heatsātotal comfort food. š§š½ ā Creamy Shrimp & Mussel š°18 Tastes amazing, though itās pricey. There are 6 mussels and 5-6 shrimp, but theyāre super freshāmussels are clean (no grit!), tender but not rubbery. Underneath, thereās a mountain of crispy, juicy cabbage shreds, all coated in sweet soy sauce thatās just the right amount of savory-sweet. So flavorful! š¦š¦Ŗ š Fishcake Soup š°18 A small pot stuffed with all kinds of fish cakes, fish ballsāyou know, the frozen stuff. I could barely finish half, to be honest. But the broth is pretty tastyāwarm and umami, feels nice to slurp down on a cold day. Just⦠18 bucks for frozen fish cakes? Kinda steep. š„£ ā Fire Pork Belly š°30 Spicy pork belly on a hot plateāway too spicy! Burned my tongue, and there are barely any pork slicesāmostly onions and scallions. Thereās a layer of cheese on top, which is creamy and richāwrapping a pork piece in cheese takes the edge off a little. The pork itself is goodāmarbled, tender but chewy, not dryābut the spice and skimpy portion ruin it. š¶ļøš„ š Original Deep Fried Chicken - Boneless š°16+4 Boneless original fried chickenācosts $4 more than bone-in. Itās pretty standard: the batterās thick but fried well, crispy and not greasy, and the chicken inside is tender. Just seasoned with salt, so itās simple. Might try the sauced version next timeācould use more flavor! š ā Pan Fried Udon š°20 Stir-fried udon that even Iāsomeone who doesnāt love carbsāadore! The udonās thin but chewy, and there are little bits of seafood like mussels and squid. Itās all coated in sweet soy sauceāsticky and flavorfulāand the seafood soaks up the sauce perfectly. So good, I cleaned the plate! š #Canada #CanadaFood #VancouverIsland #Victoria #Foodie #LifeSnippets #FoodTour #MyDailyLife
