Pints Empire - Winnipeg
Pints Empire
Description
Pints Empire, a Korean pub-style restaurant, offers exceptional Korean fried chicken and diverse menu options. Despite some inconsistencies with dishes like over-seasoned rice cakes and underwhelming seafood pancakes, the standout fried chicken is worth a visit. The restaurant features karaoke rooms for entertainment, but lacks proper ventilation, leaving patrons smelling like grease. The owners are accommodating and provide helpful guidance on menu selections. With a modern, spacious ambiance and late-night hours, Pints Empire is a top choice in Winnipeg for delicious Korean cuisine, particularly their flavorful wings and seafood dishes. Highly recommended for a unique dining experience.

Stopped in here for some takeout on the way home from work. Heard from a colleague the Korean fried chicken is fantastic so I thought I'd give them a try.<br/ <br/ Ordered some Korean spicy chicken, Korean fried chicken, stir fried rice cake and a seafood pancake. The chicken was definitely tasty and totally worth the visit. The rice cake on the other hand was a bit over seasoned. The sauce simply over powered everything in the dish, though the ramen noodles was an interesting touch! The seafood pancake on the other hand was a bit bland and could use more seafood. <br/ <br/ The restaurant is nicely laid out but somewhat dim. They appear to have rooms with which you can rent by the hour for karaoke. <br/ <br/ My only complaint about the visit was the time it took for the food. Despite putting in the order ahead of time, I still had to wait 20 minutes. The chicken however was good and I will come back.<br/ <br/
Pints Empire is an eclectic and fun Korean restaurant serving pub style cuisine. While I was not enamored by their soup and noodle offerings, their excellent fried chicken made up for that in spades, just make sure to get the BBQ variant. Certainly a change of pace from the regular Korean restaurants in town and worth a trip with a group of friends, a good time and hilarity is almost a guarantee.
Have been wanting to come to this place since my friend mentioned it to me a month ago. Really good food. Service was excellent. My favorite was the sangyeopsal. Only downer is that it was a bit of a drive from where I live. But for sure will return.
This place has amaZing flavor. Their dishes are equivalent to those of NYC and LA. The couple is very nice and accommodating. They want to tell you how to eat the dishes and talk you through on what sauces to order for the wings. I was so happy to bite into a crunchy chicken wing even with lots of sauce on it. Best wings in Winnipeg period. Even better, they're Korean wings, but you can order spicy, just fried, sweet, or even sweet and spicy where it's half and half. Omg, I can't contain the excitement I have now that I've discovered this place. <br/ <br/ I ordered the wings and seafood with rice cake (dduk bokki). The menu is all in English so if you're like me and know your Korean dish names, just look at pictures to relate the dishes. The seafood was so fresh and perfectly cooked. There's squid, shrimp, mussels, blend of crunchy veggies with the rice cake... And to my surprise two sides of noodles that came with it! It was a huge plate definitely worth the price. He came to my table and stirred the noodles into the sauce and explained to me that it tastes better in the sauce--I agreed!<br/ <br/ I can't rave be enough about how fresh their food was. How much flavor each bite had. <br/ <br/ Surprisingly they open until 1-2am everyday. The restaurant has a lot of tables and is decorated very fancy and modern. They have private karaoke rooms that you can fit probably 20 people each in and order food in there as well. Great for private parties. The ambiance is nice with a variety of English and Korean pop songs playing as well as a huge projector with videos in the second dining room. <br/ <br/ Highly recommend for Korean food, wings, or karaoke.
