Let’s be real…everyone is complaining about the prices of eating out in Metro Vancouver these days.
So when we see a lunch deal that won’t make our wallets cry?
You know we’re pulling a U-turn to investigate.
KO Kitchen, a new little spot that recently opened across from Lansdowne Centre (in the former Jenjudan unit), is offering a 40% OFF bento lunch promo from March 31st to April 5th.
That means you’re getting a full meal for $8.99.
Yes, in this economy.
Curious (and hungry), we wandered in to scope it out (anonymous as usual).
Inside, it’s a simple setup: a counter, a clean open kitchen, and the smell of freshly made food goodness.
While they didn’t have photos of the lunch sets on display, the staff showed us her own dinner bento (the Three Cup Beef Rice) as a preview.
The bento was full and hefty, packed with rice and noodles, stir-fried veggies, meat, and more.
We liked what we saw so we grabbed the same Three Cup Beef Rice and watched them make it fresh to order.
Another customer came in and snagged four bentos in one go.
Menu options include Black Pepper Beef or Chicken (with rice or noodles), Popcorn Chicken Rice, Taiwanese Grilled Chicken Rice, and more.
Regular price is $14.99, so yeah – this week’s deal is a serious steal.
Flavour-wise, the seasoning leans mild, which makes sense since the meals are technically geared toward students and to give them a nutritious meal.
But for a filling, warm, no-fuss meal under $10?
No complaints here.
So if you’re looking for an affordable weekday lunch or just want something hearty without dipping into your savings, KO Kitchen is worth a peek.
Just don’t wait too long—this promo wraps up April 5!
