this slightly-off-the-beaten-path kiosk draws lineups for its pan-Asian classics. Comfort food doesn’t get more satisfying or flavour-packed than a takeout container filled to bursting with spiced bulgogi, crispy katsu or tongue-tingling Korean chicken, sided by a tangle of glass noodles and a mountain of funky kimchi, and with a fried egg on top. Or does it? That depends on how much of the earthy chili sauce you care to squeeze over the whole thing. Our advice: use lots.
