Juke Fried Chicken

For an eye-opening and tasty fried chicken experience, Vancouverites hit Juke Fried Chicken on Keefer Street. Heaping plates of battered-and-fried chicken are paired with delightfully non-traditional sides in this hip Chinatown dining room, making it the ideal spot to hang out while enjoying finger-licking food.

"I had the idea to open a fried chicken shop years ago, when my wife and I were travelling," says Justin Tisdall, one of Juke's three owners/operator. The team also includes former Hawksworth Restaurant sous chef Bryan Satterford and Meat & Bread co-owner Cord Jarvie. After hatching plans to open a restaurant together, talented friends Bryan and Justin joined with Cord to open Juke in 2016.

"We're a small, lively room" says Justin, who previously managed Vancouver's Belgian fine-dining restaurant Chambar. "It's a place to gather, eat, drink and enjoy yourself," he continues with a smile, touching on Juke's best quality: good old fashioned fun.
