   My friends and I regularly visit the Merchant Kitchen prior to Jets games. Last night I had a visitor in from Columbia. I raved about the Korean Fried Chicken to him, however, when we received the Kitchen it was overdone and dry, not juicy like it usually is. I probably should have sent it back but we thought we might not get a new order prior to when we had to leave for the game. The Dandan Noodles were excellent as usual as was the Tempura Shrimp.

   Had an enjoyable time, unfortunately my wife’s food tasted really charred and it overwhelmed the flavour of the dish. I had the same one and it tasted much better. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their dish, but the evening was for my wife so a bit of a letdown.

   Absolutely fantastic. Great sever. Great food. Extremely busy. And got way too noisy. Would like to go back on a quieter night. Would recommend. First time there and we will look for a quieter time to try it again.

   Really great ingredients prepared well and in a beautiful setting. The service was also incredible.. If you’re coming from the Alt hotel there’s a Moroccan-style door off the lobby you can used to enter the restaurant.

   We went to Merchant Kitchen for Valentine’s Day, and had a great time. The food was unreal, and the service was great.

    It was our first time here it we have been wanting to check it out for a while. The Dan Dan Noodles were delicious and spicy though they arrived at our table lukewarm. The Carnitas were fantastic with great toppings and a good flavour. Our server was good but could have been a bit more attentive, as she rushed away before our entire table could order drinks. It was a nice atmosphere and we are eager to try more items on the menu.

    Hi Kim! Thank you for leaving us this review, we appreciate all feedback and have definitely made note that the Dan Dan Noodles were not hot enough, we're sorry that this happened. Please don't hesitate to let our team know, we want you to have the best experience and would be happy to get another dish prepared for you. We're happy that you had an enjoyable experience nonetheless and look forward to you coming to try more dishes from the menu! :) Warmly, The Merchant Kitchen
