Manic Mondays @ Koryo

Not sure how long this will last for but every monday from 12-2pm Koryo has a deal they're calling "Manic Mondays" which is like their take on KFC's toonie tuesdays...except on a monday...and replace fried chicken with korean fast food. It's located in the Toronto Life Square food court at Yonge/Dundas, which was a little bit of a walk from work but I figured for a $2 lunch how could I go wrong?

So for $2.25 ($1.99 + tax? that's not right is it?) you get a box of food with 2 scoops of rice, your choice of 2 sides and BBQ chicken and beef. I got there at around 1:15 and they were out of chicken so I only got beef. For the sides, you get a few choices, there was pasta salad, kimchi, glass noodles, broccoli, green beans, and potatoes. I got the noodles which were ehh and the potatoes which I would highly recommend. Probably the best thing in that box, crispy outside and light and fluffy inside, I was actually pretty impressed for food court potatoes and next time I'll just get double potatoes. The beef wasn't bad either, though they don't give you that much it was just enough to go with the rice they gave.

It was just enough food for me though I felt a bit snackish in the afternoon but I guess I can't really complain for $2. Overall, you're not going to find a cheaper complete lunch downtown...provided it's a monday and between 12-2pm.

UPDATE: Looks like alot more people have caught wind of this deal and the lineup was like 50 people deep (up from like 5 the first week) so it's up to you if it's worth standing in line for your entire lunch break
