Ordering Strategy

Go with a group to tackle the messy, sharing-style menu; start with Elote Ribs and a tower of wings before moving to tacos.

What to order

Safe first

Gochu-Gang Wings

Described as a 'match crafted by the food gods,' these wings feature a fermented rice and chili sensation that critics call 'damn good flappers.'

Hungry

Spicy Pork Belly Tacos

Cooked with 'patience and precision,' these tacos are a staple of a kitchen that has its 'head screwed on' regarding Mexican delicacies.

Wildcard

Elote Ribs

These 'architectural arches of corn' provide a satisfying crunch and are hailed by carnivores and vegetarians alike as a 'most pleasing bite.'

Wildcard

Somaek

A traditional Korean ritual where soju is mixed into light beer, resulting in a 'foaming beverage' that tastes like a 'candy floss cloud and a cider had a child.'

What to skip

Skip
Tuna TostadaReviewers found this slab of sashimi to be 'under seasoned and bland' when compared to the bold, punchy flavors found elsewhere on the menu.

Good to know

Located on Bow Wharf near Victoria Park; expect DJs and a loud atmosphere on weekends; this is a 'mucky' dinner so expect to use many napkins.
