After Dark
Double-fried yangnyeom chicken and soju near Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam, when everything else in the area has gone dark.
OZ Korean Cuisine has correctly identified its moment in the Coquitlam ecosystem: keep frying while everything else around Lafarge Lake has packed up and gone home. The double-fried Korean chicken comes shatter-crisp, your choice of soy-garlic or sweet-spicy yangnyeom, and the side dishes keep landing on the table without being asked. There's soju and beer to sustain a conversation well past the point where anywhere else in the area has flicked its lights off. The room is bright and loud and completely unfussy, which is exactly what you want after a movie or a concert when you're hungry in that specific, urgent way that only fried chicken can address. Order both sauces, settle the debate over which one wins, and stay until you've run out of reasons not to.
