Since opening in the spring of 2015, Kanpai has quickly garnered a reputation as one of Toronto’s it spots. Most nights, a throng of hopefuls wait to snag a table at this hip-hop blaring Taiwanese snack bar.
Kanpai hasn't any pretensions or airs of authenticity. The restaurant nods to Taiwan’s tumultuous and multicultural heritage and looks at how the centuries-old cuisine fits into Toronto’s present. The snack bar’s star dish—the Taiwanese fried chicken—embodies this east-meets-west ethos.
When a plate of fried chicken hits the table, conversation ceases. Not for long, mind you, as the succulent bird gets gobbled up with gusto. Although the dish is billed as Taiwanese Fried Chicken (TFC), deep-fried drums and thighs like these aren’t something you’d find in Taipei. “There, fried chicken is pounded into a cutlet, breaded, fried and stuffed in a paper bag," explains owner Trevor Liu.
