The chain’s large fried chicken comes in several versions, including with your choice of seasonings, in a fiery Korean style, stuffed with cheese, or in a “crispy” coating. You can get fried chicken combos, as well as Taiwanese popcorn chicken bites. Sides include regular french fries, fried King Oyster mushrooms, or fried plum sweet potato wedges.

You can follow @hotstar_canada on Instagram for updates on their Vancouver-area locations.
