EXCITING. FLAVOURFUL. SHARED.

The Merchant Kitchen is an idea conceptualized by travel and adventure. Honouring the traditional ingredients, flavours, and techniques of Asia and Latin America, while incorporating the freshest local ingredients possible is our mantra.

Exploring cities and towns along the equator, tasting their food carts, and visiting the local markets have allowed us to bring that to the table an experience that enables guests to escape routine and enjoy flavours with friends and family.

We had the corn and chips and Nagoya wings as applies. The wings were very good. Nicely done. The corn and chip was also good. We make street corn dip at home right off the cobs, I know with your volume this is probably difficult. Overall it was tasty. Our mains were Dan Dan Noodles and Korean fried chicken. Both very good. A warning on the menu about spice levels may be a good idea. The noodles were delicious but had a lingering spice. Lots of people would probably like to know how spicy things are. We all know Asian spice especially Korean is different from western spice. Our Korean fried chicken was good. In typical Korean style it was fried twice for the crispiness. It would’ve been nice to have the choices of the sauces when we ordered. Then the second fry could’ve absorbed the flavour. Dinner was delicious. The service very good and the Van Van cocktail outstanding. We will be back.

Very noisy and lots of TV screens really alter the atmosphere. Expensive considering it is essentially a sports bar.

Chicken tacos were okay but portion size was underwhelming. Should have ordered another appetizer dish alongside as they came unaccompanied. Want to go back sometime to try the tequila tasting flight! Noisy but fun.

We ordered family style were able to sample more than 60%(?) of the menu. The Dan Dan Noodles and Grilled Corn were huge hits with the group, as were the Scallops and the Tuna which were served perfectly. Most impressive was the timing of the kitchen and the service, which continually delivered hot and fresh plates to us just as we were completing the previous dishes. Our group of seven was from all the Western provinces, and one from Toronto. Two of us from here in Wpg. . this was my first visit to Merchant Kitchen and I can honestly say that we were all extremely impressed with every facet of the meal. Thank-you and I / we will definitely be back.
