KYU Grill - Winnipeg

They were set up at the Winnipeg Folk Festival; I had heard of their famous food. My friend had a Okonomi dog - a real cool combination of hipster and common cuisine. It's more of a grilled-skewer sandwich than a hot dog. It looked crazy, but he assured me it was delicious. I had Spicy Pork Belly Poutine - how's that for a Japanese-Canadian fusion? The tempura fries were amazing, and the toppings just added to the delicious experience. I've had many tasty things at Folk Fest, but this might be the best one.

Had the goji berry beef heroshima. Horrible and it was overpriced. Tasted like processed meat. Never again.

I started eating their heroshimas from the food cart that is out during the summertime in Winnipeg. I will admit when they opened their location at the Forks I was very excited. My favorite is the spicy mayo chicken heroshima. As I do not always want the bun, they will prepare it on a bed of lettuce for me. Their fries are crispy and delicious, topped with some of their spicy mayo sauce which is my favorite. I have also tried the chicken nachos which were loaded with goodness. I wish however that they would use all freshly grated cheese instead of a layer of orange nacho cheese. Be sure to say hi to Peter when he is there!

Visited the KYUl carts at venues around the city in the last 2 summers. Decided to try out KYU Grill at the Forks last weekend. Went 2 days in a row because it was so good. Had the bread pudding on the first visit and an okonomi dog the next day. Seems to be good value for what you get - bursting with flavour and is a unique addition to the Winnipeg food scene.

My friends and I stumbled on this and OhMyGodIs it amazingI had a pork belly dog and my friends tried the mango chickenThey're both so superb.
