🍴 Winnipeg Restaurant Guide: Hits & Misses

As a new Winnipegger, I've been on a culinary adventure these past two months - here's my brutally honest take on local eats (with lots of Korean & Chinese spots!) ✅ WORTH IT 1️⃣ Kiwa Korean Restaurant ★★★★★ Must-order: Spicy pork knuckle hot pot (huge portion!), fresh fried chicken Vibe: Authentic flavors - prepare for real Korean heat! 2️⃣ Dong Thanh (East & West) ★★★★★ Surprise star: Vietnamese pho + Sichuan dishes under one roof Pro tip: Their crispy tofu survives delivery perfectly 3️⃣ Golden Loong ★★★★★ Sichuan heaven: Try the cold skin noodles - life-changing! Bonus: Cheap eats that taste like home 4️⃣ Stella's Café ★★★★★ Best brunch: Fried rice with runny eggs = perfect slow morning 5️⃣ Mall Food Court (Unnamed) ★★★★★ Hidden gem: Wok-fried noodles with perfectly balanced chicken ❎ SKIP THESE 1️⃣ Yang's Braised Chicken Rice ❌ The crime: Flavorless meat + giant bowl of plain rice Verdict: "They could've just robbed me instead" 2️⃣ Dagu Noodles ⚠️ Only if desperate: Mysterious white powder floating in broth Silver lining: Generous toppings 3️⃣ Little Korean (Downtown) ❌ $80 disappointment: Tiny portions, limited menu 4️⃣ Skewer House ❌❌❌ Fake flavors: Everything tastes microwaved 💡 Pro Tips New Sun Wah: Book for 4PM+ dinners (no walk-ins!) Spice lovers: Golden Loong's "extra spicy" means business #WinnipegEats #FoodieFails #CanadianFood
