I had lunch today at GDous, a Shanghai fried chicken chain on Spadina Avenue just north of Queen Street W. They recently opened but apparently haven't had their official opening yet.
A lot of their menu items aren't available. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Steak combo. I was told it would take 7 minutes to make but it was actually 25 minutes. The fries were kind of cold. The chicken was good. It looked like a boneless chicken breast until I got to the end, which was hidden in the bag, which was actually just bones. Surprising considering the cost plus that's what the pictures on the wall look like. I would be inclined to make it a boneless chicken breast.
There is a poster on the wall that says if you post pictures of your meal online, it's "buy one get one free" ... which actually is a lie. If you post pictures of your meal, they will give you a chicken wing. Yes, a scrawny chicken wing. Though my meal was okay, I didn't see myself rushing back anytime soon so I didn't push it for them to fulfill their promise.
The cashier was really friendly but not overly knowledgeable. When I asked about the sauces, he said he thought one in a container was ketchup when it was hot sauce.
