A Korean Spot in Downtown Victoria đ°đˇ
Downtown Victoriaâs Hidden Gem for Korean Flavors đ°đˇ If youâre craving Korean food in DT Victoria, Chimac Korean Pub & Fried Chicken is worth a stopâespecially if youâre a fried chicken fan! đ 512 Yates St, Victoria, BC V8W 1K8 What to Order (Our Top Picks): â Honey Mustard Fried Chicken This oneâs a total standout! đđť The honey mustard sauce is sweet with just a tiny tang, coating every crispy bite of the chicken perfectlyâcrunchy on the outside, juicy inside. You can pick bone-in (for that extra flavor) or boneless (easy to munch), and either way, itâs addictive. We polished off a whole plate without even realizing! â Seafood Tteokbokki I was a little nervous about this at firstâspicy tteokbokki can sometimes go overboard, but this version won me over. The rice cakes are chewy, the seafood (shrimp, squid, etc.) is fresh, and the kick of spice is balanced by a big handful of melted cheese on top. The cheese oozes into the sauce, making it creamy and richâsuch a smart combo! đđť â Fish Cake Soup A classic side that hits the spot. The broth is clear and savory, not too salty, and the fish cakes are soft with that satisfying bouncy texture. Itâs simple, but warm and comfortingâgreat for sipping while you dig into the chicken. đ° Average cost: Around $30 CAD per person (plenty filling with a few dishes to share!) Service & Vibe (The Small Hiccups): The food was solid, but we had two little annoyancesânothing that ruined the meal, just worth noting! When we arrived, there was a wait (only one table ahead), but the staff told us itâd be 30 minutes and sort of hinted we should come back later. We decided to stick around, and sure enough, a table opened up in 10 minutes topsâglad we didnât listen! đ They also asked us to wait outside while queuing, but it was a chilly nightâno way we were standing in the cold! We stayed near the door (sorry not sorry) and kept warmâsometimes you gotta be a little rebellious, right? âď¸ Overall, the food made up for the small service blipsâif youâre in the area and want Korean pub grub, give it a try! #BCVictoriaFood #FriedChicken #VictoriaFood #VancouverIsland #KoreanPubFood
