The date

When the night needs rescuing anywhere up to 1am, seven days a week, Zabu Chicken on Robson answers. The Korean fried chicken is shatteringly crisp, the soy-garlic and spicy versions both worth ordering and worth arguing over, before corn cheese, tteokbokki and LA galbi complicate the table. Put your name down, order more than you think you need, because the math never works out.

How to do it

When the night needs rescuing with something hot and shareable, put your name down here and order more than you think you need: soy-garlic and spicy KFC both (worth fighting over), plus corn cheese, tteokbokki and LA galbi to fill the table. Cold beer, greasy fingers, lots of laughing. Open to 1am every night, so it's a fast, buzzy 75 to 80 minute feast, the second-wind stop, not the wind-down.
