If you still miss visiting Eats of Asia’s former eatery at Crossroads Market, you’ll be happy to hear that the Asian street food restaurant has opened in the SunnyCider taproom. Visit the taproom to fill up on dishes like bibimbap with spicy pork or teriyaki beef, pork bulgogi bing, the spicy Chogo chicken bowl and more. Pair your dish with a locally made cider to complete the experience.

Take advantage of the midway special, which gets you three perfectly golden and crispy small empanadas for $17. You can mix and match your flavours, with options like beef, cheese and chorizo, black bean and chipotle, cheese, spinach and feta or chicken.
