After Dark
Double-fried yangnyeom chicken and soju near Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam, when everything else in the area has gone dark.
City Centre, Pinetree Way
More infoOZ Korean Cuisine has read its moment perfectly: keep frying while everything else around Lafarge Lake has gone dark. The double-fried chicken lands shatter-crisp in soy-garlic or sweet-spicy yangnyeom, side dishes arriving unasked, with soju to sustain the conversation. The room is bright, loud and unfussy, exactly what post-movie hunger demands. Order both sauces and settle which one actually wins.
It's in the Pinetree Way strip in City Centre, a five-minute walk from Lafarge Lake and Lincoln SkyTrain, so it pairs perfectly as the late stop after a lakeside lap or a Town Centre Park concert. Order the half-and-half fried chicken so you get both soy-garlic and sweet-spicy yangnyeom in one basket, and add a soju to share. Kitchen runs till midnight every night, so don't write off a 10 pm plan, and don't miss the cheese corn or tteokbokki as a side, the two things regulars always add to a chicken order.
