"Kaitlin Williams’ fabulous Pacific Theatre production of the hit play that gave rise to the successful CBC-TV comedy is gut-bustingly funny with a huge heart.”
- Jerry Wasserman, Vancouver Sun

Easily the funniest show I’ve seen all year. [James] Yi’s confidence and comic timing drive the action."
- Darren Barefoot, The Georgia Straight

"Carolyn Rapanos’s set is perfect and perfectly particular. From the Ontario Lottery Gold decal above the door to the Toronto Now newspaper in the rack, it’s a remarkable re-creation of the familiar corner store."
- Darren Barefoot, The Georgia Straight

"This production succeeds in no small part to a stellar performance by James Yi as the central character, Mr. Kim.”
- John Jane, Review Vancouver

"As I bawled and laughed at the most inappropriate moments (being bilingual means you can understand dick jokes in two languages!) I saw other people in the audience shed a tear, laugh, and become invested in this family.”
- Jessica Kim, UBC Players Club
