Late Korean Izakaya at Mr. Bro

A Richmond Korean izakaya running to 2am on weekends, because someone had to do it, and spicy chicken-cheese demanded a late-night home.

The date

Mr. Bro is what happens when a Korean izakaya decides Richmond deserves somewhere worth staying late, running to 1am on weeknights and 2am on weekends in Golden Village. The signature is a bubbling pot of spicy chicken-and-cheese so over-the-top you'll spend twenty minutes pulling cheese off it, before the fried whole squid even arrives. A 4.4 from 700-plus reviews. Closed Wednesdays, dinner-only from 5pm. Show up hungry.

How to do it

This is a graze-and-linger night, so order the spicy chicken-and-cheese to share first, it's the dish the whole room is here for, then add the spicy brisket stew or fried whole squid and a round of drinks. The kitchen runs late (to 1am, 2am Fridays and Saturdays), so there's no need to rush; just remember it's closed Wednesdays and opens at 5pm. Budget around an hour and three-quarters and don't miss the honey-garlic chicken if you're still going. It's in Golden Village, so a stroll along Alexandra Road's restaurant row caps it off.
