Kyu Grill at Thank Granville It's Food trucks (TGIF)

The South Granville Business Improvement Association (SGBIA) organized Thank Granville It's Food Trucks (TGIF). Every Friday and Saturday from 11 in the morning until 8 in the evening from June through Labour Day, there will be a rotating lineup of food trucks located along West 10th Avenue at Fir Street in front of the Vancouver School Board building.

Happy Friday! For dinner today, we ordered from KYU Grill. First, it's unfortunate that the JPC (Japanese popcorn chicken) is already sold out. But, to be fair, we arrived at around 7:00 PM, an hour before the event ends. So I guess it's a popular item.

Okonomi Hero and Spicy Mayo Frites

They have a combo where you can choose your hero, frites, and a drink. So that's what we ordered. Hubby picked Okonomi Hero, while I chose the Spicy Mayo Frites.

Menu Description: Pork skewer, coleslaw, crispy noodles, okonomi sauce, bonito flakes, green onions, mayo, and sesame seed on our Hawaiian egg bun

The hero is like Japadog flavours, but instead of using hotdogs, they are using skewers. The Spicy Mayo Frites came with the French fries still hot and crunchy. We enjoyed it.

Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp Fries

Printed on the food truck are "Japanese" and "Hawaiian," so I originally thought they're a poke food truck. That said, I wanted an item that makes things "Hawaiian" and found one item called "Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp Fries." The flavour is "fresh" with the mangoes, and of course, it has seafood (shrimp). It's a sweet dish.

Overall, I will come back to try the Japanese popcorn chicken (cause I am a sucker for fried chicken). Otherwise, I'll go back to getting my usual at Japadog.

July 17, 2021 Update

They're back in TGIF today! Woot! Since it's a Saturday, we were there early enough to try their Japanese popcorn chicken. The best thing about this dish is the spicy mayo dip.
