They have a late night "mini-meals" menu which mostly consists of their western-style dishes, and rice and noodle dishes. It usually ends up being around $7 pre-tax/tip and comes with a complementary hot drink (or iced, for an extra $1).twinkienicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-85401050806774623962009-07-11T20:51:24.009-07:002009-07-11T20:51:24.009-07:00Hi Holly, WOW!

I think the food at Corner 23 is solid and to top it all off, there is good BBT too!

There were only 5 bite sized pieces, but every bite was delish.<br /><br />I also tried the spicy wonton and that was the most surpising dish. Eight wontons came out swimming in a Chef Boyardee-like red soup. It tasted better than it looked and I liked the peanut bits which added another depth of taste. It was also good for dipping the beef wrap into.<br /><br />Lastly, I had their spicy beef noodle soup which definitely rivals any I have had so far. The noodles were think and al dente, much chewier than regular rice noodles probably because it was made fresh. Also, the beef was interesting. It was very black in colour and initially freaked my dining companion, but upon biting, was very tender and tasty.<br /><br />To top it off, I also ordered a fresh mango slush with coconut jelly which provided a refreshing break whenever I needed it. I don't normally order a bbt drink because I'm too cheap, but I did this time because I wasn't footing the bill. heh, heh.<br /><br />Corner 23 will become the triumvirate of restaurants in this area for me in addition to Cafe Gloucester and Copa. My father has been in/out of the hospital lately, so this area is very handy for a quick bite.<br /><br />Hope you try it soon.hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-58496858653348447332009-07-11T17:21:17.391-07:002009-07-11T17:21:17.391-07:00Hi Holly, I have that coupon!

Their restaurant also offers more spacious and comfortable seating than Cafe Gloucester.<br /><br />Right now, if you dine at Copa you can get a coupon for a free red bean drink the next time you dine between 6-9 pm. The offer expires on July 31st.hollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1524766856706642380.post-32572622588535443732009-04-13T19:35:00.000-07:002009-04-13T19:35:00.000-07:00Nope, but I will now!
