I had the B&D Special Pho with Marrows and my girlfriend had the grilled pork chop with rice. We also ordered the chili fish oil chicken wings to share. All 10/10 food!! Super filling. Definitely our go-to Viet restaurant.”

“The food was fantastic:) we had a party in the park for 50 people food came on time and hot:) excellent customer service:) If you like great food I highly recommend this place:) Thank you Argo Restaurant.”
“Best dim sum in the neighbourhood 👍”
“I had a fairly mixed visit to this spot. The lamb skewers were definitely the highlight, as they featured nice, fatty meat that was cooked well, but the cumin lamb fried noodles were unfortunately way too heavy on the cumin and was so overpowering that we couldn't actually eat them. The deep-fried chicken was decent, offering a good, spicy kick from the dried chilis and peppercorns, but overall, the lack of balance in the main noodle dish made for a somewhat disappointing experience.”
“Alicia was one of the best servers I’ve ever met; she was very friendly and easygoing, so chatting with her was a great delight.”
“Loved their sushi. Great in quality and taste !
I tried their miso soup and spring roll. Loved them.
I tried popcorn sushi roll and eel nigiri sushi. Lived their authentic taste. Definitely my go to spot.
But it can really crowded in the evening especially Fridays and weekends. You are lucky, if you get a table within a few minutes.”

“It was my first time trying this restaurant and wow, it was soooo good! I had the beef stroganoff and it definitely did not disappoint. The creaminess was just right and not overpowering at all. I absolutely loved it! And gosh, I totally fell in love with the churros too! Will definitely come back for sure! 😍”

“We had a private room experience with Jessie today, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The service was truly outstanding, and my parents, who were with me, were especially touched and impressed by Jessie’s care and attention. It made the whole experience even more memorable for us.
We would absolutely love to see Jessie again on our next visit and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional service.”
“Sushi Box is the most delicious local sushi I have had here in Burnaby! The quality of the fish is excellent, and I love the Salmon Sashimi. Everything tastes like it was made with love, and additionally the staff are very kind. If you are a sushi lover like me, I could not recommend this restaurant more.”
“great service and good was spectacular”
“THE PERFECT WEDDING VENUE!
It was an absolute pleasure to have had our wedding at Riverway. We have constantly gotten compliments on how nice the venue looked, how great the food was and how amazing the atmosphere felt. The venue itself requires very little decorating because it is so beautiful on its own. Bradley, the Riverway coordinator, worked with us a year in advance to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible and coordinated with our wedding planners at Pearl Collaborations to ensure that we had nothing to worry about on the day of.
We could not have asked to have worked with better people and be at a better venue than Riverway :)”
“First time here for lunch with family. We came in just right after the restaurant opened (12pm on Friday). The entrance is a surprise! Beautifully decorated 🌴 So does the interior. We ordered the fish soup, pad Thai, chicken wings and papaya salad. Every dish was really tasty. And the server Rita was friendly 💕 Will definitely come back!”
“This was my first time visiting this lovely gem of a restaurant. It was my friend‘s birthday celebration. The staff were all amazing, especially Jordan. Everyone took great care of us. The food was excellent as well. We had a set menu and it did not disappoint. I will definitely come back and would highly recommend for group gatherings. It was great that there was parking in the back as well.”
“Got takeout from Katsuya as there was a promotion on uber eats. I found the food to be packaged well and a large enough quantity for 1 person. The service was prompt and friendly, making the pickup process smooth and easy to enjoy while still hot and fresh. Would recommend to anyone looking for something quick to eat.”
“Rich, creamy broth with a gentle heat that perfectly complemented the tender fish and earthy mushrooms. The fresh vegetables and green peppercorn added a vibrant kick, and the red rice made it hearty and satisfying. A comforting, flavorful dish. I came with my big family and got great atmosphere too. If you are going to bring kids, it is good to order tomatoes sauce fish with yummy crispy pork.”

“Visited the Subway on Canada Way and had a great experience. Hesha was very friendly, polite, and provided excellent customer service. She prepared everything carefully and made the visit smooth and enjoyable. Really appreciated her positive attitude and professionalism. Definitely one of the better Subway experiences I’ve had!”
“Sarleen was incredibly helpful and so kind! When I accidentally placed my order at the wrong location. She went out of her way to assist me in getting everything sorted out, which made a stressful situation so much easier. Really appreciate her patience and great customer service going above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Stop by an A and W at six in the morning with my mom to grab some brookies sit inside. It was very clean and nice my server parmeet and jaspreet welcome us with smiles very friendly and premiered her. They made her stay for a breakfast morning with my mom was very good and my mom is elderly. You’re a very well come in. Thank you girls for making our stay early in the morning very good.”
“I had an amazing experience at Subway thanks to Kamal! His customer service was absolutely WOW! friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and his positive attitude really stood out. It’s not every day you come across someone who makes you feel so welcomed. Kamal truly made my visit special. Highly recommend!”
“Although... I just do not understand new menue, Church's is consistent. I used to enjoy few peaces of legs and thighs with fries, and they are still able to produce it, so no real complains.. Hope they stay original, as it seams bit dumb to me to invent new fried chicken..
After few years now... I do not understand the pace of dough that they make you buy in the combo. Its just not very tasty, its actually terible it tastes like glue. I always throw it away. It would be better to get more fries.”
“Harpeeet the manager was so helpful when my coupon wasn’t working on the app 🫶🫶 she honoured the coupon and went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. It’s times like this that remind me that real customer service still exists and I’m happy to keep supporting a great brand! BABABABABAAAAAA”
“Im not a fan of McDonald's or Fast foods.
But, I give credit, when credit is due.
I witnessed the staff at this McDonald's, working hard to unload trucks, pack supplies and try their best to keep customers happy.
In these efforts, I appreciate their hard work, and the patience for the high demands.
I ordered chicken nuggets, coffee and dipping sauces.
Nuggets were fresh, crispy and didn't have any weird chewy or dark parts.
Coffee was Esspresso, with cream and honey, and it was actually drinkable...Unlike Tim's.
The staff were kind and apologizing for order taking longer than expected.
Overall, I like this location, staff are kind and patient.
Food was tolerable, it is McDonald's 2025, not like McDonald's 1985, which was absolutely the best fast food available back then.
Entering the parking lot can be a task in itself, due to being on a hill and only having one way to drive into the establishment, can see they're definitely losing a massive income due to this inconvenience, still, nonetheless, can see they put great effort into providing for customer satisfaction.”
“The atmosphere is very Japanese, the server are very familiar with food allergies and super friendly. The food is fresh and hot and the portions are like the 90s. A must try in Burnaby”
Takeout Restaurants
“I'd go here several times a week if I lived closer because this place is a great little gem! Really great coffee, tea, and snacks but not priced higher than other similar places. Support local small businesses! Same two staff are always there and very friendly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I've been here a couple of times. I really enjoy the kiwi juice.
.
The location shown on Google Maps (as of April 2026) isn't quite accurate. Mango Charming is in the middle of the upper food court, halfway along the west side. It isn't in a corner location.
.
Seek it out as their drinks are very good!”
“Nam Vegan Express is a fantastic choice if you're looking for delicious vegetarian food. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and generous, making every visit a pleasant experience. My favorite menu items are the fresh salad rolls, flavorful pho, and the V-BBQ chicken bites. Their tea is excellent as well and pairs perfectly with the meal. I highly recommend Nam Vegan Express for either lunch or dinner—you won't be disappointed.”
“Got takeout from Katsuya as there was a promotion on uber eats. I found the food to be packaged well and a large enough quantity for 1 person. The service was prompt and friendly, making the pickup process smooth and easy to enjoy while still hot and fresh. Would recommend to anyone looking for something quick to eat.”
“Really enjoyed the tapioca here; it’s clearly homemade and has that soft, slightly chewy texture that stands out compared to a lot of other bubble tea spots. The service was also super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Prices felt reasonable for what you get.
The only small drawback for me was the traditional milk tea, which leaned quite heavy on the milk side and slightly overpowered the tea flavor. That said, it was still good overall and didn’t take away too much from the drink. I’d definitely come back, especially just for the tapioca alone.”
“Smaller sushi restaurants like this are always the best. Instead of a place like Mura, save some money and wait time, and come here. The staff are super friendly and the food is, in my opinion, much better. If you haven’t tried it yet and have been meaning to- do it; I bet you’ll love it.”
“This place is fantastic, all of the staff are SO friendly, welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious also!”

“This small and local mom and pop shop is just simply the best. This is my second time going in person to order take out and they remember me still even from 4 months apart of ordering.
For the price of what we pay, it is for sure worth the money. They don’t skim on your portions or your tastebuds. Best place to consider for your take out reasons!!!
I will keep on going here !!!”
“Food is fresh add tasty. The music he's exactly what it is it supposed to be at a coffee shop. You can actually hear each other with a nice music in the background. The place is from bottom to top spotless clean. Super easy parking. As a world traveler I don't come across coffee shops like this often. I highly recommend it to everyone.”
“It’s good! Real authentic street tacos & more! Get the Hibiscus Water!”
“We had a fantastic experience at this Cactus Club location! The food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were excellent, and we honestly enjoyed this location more than the other Cactus Club locations we've visited.
Our group ordered a variety of dishes, including steaks, burgers, fries, bowls, cocktails, and more, and everything was delicious. The food was well prepared, the drinks were great, and the ambiance made the whole experience even better.
Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we'll definitely be coming back. This has become our favorite Cactus Club location!”
“We hosted my Dad's 90th birthday here in May and the celebration was an absolute success. Sheliza and Anna were very helpful and easy to work with in planning the party for 150 guests. On the day of, Darren, Taylor, the chef and support staff provided very delicious food and excellent service. Thank you all for making my Dad's 90th birthday celebration a fabulously memorable party!”
“There wasnt a whole lot of people in the restaurant, as it was around 3:00, so it was quiet and the service was really quick. The chasu pork was the best pork ive ever tried, and weve been to alot of ramen places in many different countries. Id add a photo of my ramen bowl but it was gone before i could take one”

“Pretty good combo plates with great cheesy corn, beef bulgoghi, rice stick, and rice. The butter mayo sooda box sushi was excellent. Definitely do the kimchi fried rice add on to the combo.”
Cheap Eats
“We only discovered this brewery yesterday through a friend. We got to sample a testing and fell in love with all the selections. We checked out the actual Brewery today. What an amazing place, the feeling was warm, the staff was friendly. We purchased lots today. And we can’t wait to come back with friends and recommending it to friends. Great job ! Keep it up and we look forward to seeing what is released in years to come. If you have not checked it out. Stop by , you wine be disappointed”
“amazing food 10/10 would recommend. the staff was so friendly i felt so welcome as i ordered some delicious fried chicken. As I began to process the fumes of the chicken coming though my nostrils, i immediately fell in love. i savored the fried chicken until the last bite. All the spices blend so well to create a magnificent plate of chicken. its basically a work of art on a plate.”
“A nice quiet place for any travelers and locals to sip on a nice cup of coffee. Its right between the Rural side of the country with only Coffee Monster in sight, and the busy ramp up areas down Waterfront/YaleTown of Vancouver. If you're looking for a place to rest and smooth up your tired travels, this is one stop worth dropping by.”
“Very friendly and the washroom was well kept. I would suggest the California rolls, only 5.5 for 8 delicious California rolls. The workers were also very kind letting us order a few minutes after last order. We ate all the food so fast we forgot to take pictures.”
“The food was fantastic:) we had a party in the park for 50 people food came on time and hot:) excellent customer service:) If you like great food I highly recommend this place:) Thank you Argo Restaurant.”
“Lovely intimate and more cozy resturant with high quality delicious Indian food🥰❤️”
“BierCraft is hands down one of my favorite spots around campus. There’s always good beer at very reasonable prices, the food is consistently good, and it’s a place where you instantly feel comfortable and welcome. Shane and Raj are absolute legends and make the place what it is. Perfect spot to unwind and enjoy great vibes. Highly recommended.”
“It’s delicious and the personal is very beautiful 😍 Girls Models. The food is great.”

“An exceptional restaurant. The food was incredible. I had the fettuccine with Serrano ham. Spectacular flavour thanks to the truffle oil and grana padano cheese. The serving staff were extremely knowledgeable, kind and polite. Definitely going back!!!”
“Always good foods..Awesome service..Friendly Staff and beyond ♥️ I love it so much @thekeg♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“"Light, fluffy waffles and crepes loaded with colorful, fresh fruits—ideal for a refreshing breakfast or dessert."”
“I eat here every other week for years since they opened. The quality of the food and the customer service never dropped a notch. The owners are the cutest people! They are doing a great job 👏”
“Oolala Chicken is way better when you dine in rather than getting takeout or delivery.
I tried the new Machoking flavor (BHC-style Machoking), and it was so good I literally scraped the sauce clean. It officially became my new favourite!! I used to love the mala flavour, but this one took its place.
Sometimes there can be a slight smell with chicken, but ordering strong-flavored options like mala or Machoking really covers it well and makes it much better overall.
Highly recommend dining in for the best experience.”
“Had pizza delivered, so i can’t comment on the restaurant, but dammmmm that is tasty pizza . Sourdough crust is amazing ! Toppings are fresh and tasty … I had fungi, ham / pineapple, and margherita …. So good …..”
“We ordered green dragon roll, black spider roll, tempura shrimp and micro soup.
Everything was amazing!!
This is our new sushi spot.
The staff were very helpful and friendly, the restaurant is cute and clean.
We ordered in the evening and they gave us some extra items. We really appreciated it!!!”
“2026 Father's Day Happy Hour Get-Together for 12-guests.
Our Nemo-6-Special-Rolls (48pieces) tray is fabulously delicious, so does the other kind of Sushi, Oshi, we ordered, we like the acid-sweet balance and texture of their sushi rice; Nemo's Sashimi slices are some of the freshest and thickest cut compared to the other Japanese-sashimi class restaurants we tried; though we ordered 19-dishes for 12 guest, there was not much left that we pack as left over, a solid testimony of how much we enjoyed our food at Nemo.
Many thanks to Angel, Dymphna and Hazel for providing genuine, friendly, casual yet very efficient service for our group. Everyone is happy and most probably will come back, including us.”
“We wanted to try Peruvian food and luckily found El Inka.
We asked the nice young lady to recommend a meal for first timers and boy she did not disappoint us.
The flavours are simply beautiful, each bite was delicious.
The orange sauce was so good we had to buy some to take home.
One of the best meals I've had in a while.
Service was great, loved the music playing.
We've never been to South America but it feels like we took a short flight there.
We live on the other side of town but we are already making plans to go back.
Thank you!”
“been coming here since birth, and the two owners have practically watched me and my family grow. the sushi is amazing and fresh, very aromatic. service is kind, feels like home. we were really sad to hear that they would be retiring, but we went to get a party dish under the new owner and it tastes the exact same, which is wonderful. place is small but cozy. only downside would be that during peak hours, it's difficult to find parking. however, the sushi is always worth it at the end.”
“Best fish in Vancouver! Really a hidden gem. Discovered this cozy Japanese restaurant recently and revisited this week. The food quality is really superb. Tried few fishes that I never before in Canada. Strongly recommend the restaurant.”
“Great foods, very attentive service, will definitely come back more often since it’s so close to home!”
“Best service and food ever. We had my sister in law's bridal shower in the private room, and shout out to Neetu for helping us with the planning, and execution. She was amazing. Food tasted delicious, service was incredible!”
“Our workplace just had a retirement party at this amazing restaurant ,as soon as you walked in we felt very welcomed , as if we were walking into somebody's home. The food is very tasty everybody enjoyed it. The service was 10/10 always making sure we had enough of everything I would recommend this restaurant family-owned very appealing 😊”
“one of the best sushi places i’ve ever been to, definitely the most delicious sushi in town and the service was amazing the waitress are so nice and friendly and I really like the authentic atmosphere and all of that for a reasonable price”

“Innovative rolls. Fresh fresh fish - especially good was the Haku Special of 20 mixed pieces. In a strip mall but don’t let that deter you. Only a few tables but lots of takeout orders while we were there. Great find!”
“We’ve been back several times in a short period after discovering this restaurant, and every single dish we tried was amazing! We had the kimbap dishes, spicy pork, jjamppong, and soondubu stew. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of my food, but everything was seriously so delicious 😭 The quality honestly tasted just like the food I used to have in Korea.
I even brought my family here, and since some of my family members are vegan, choosing restaurants can sometimes be a bit limiting. But this place had so many vegan options to choose from, and everyone ended up loving their meal. I felt so happy and proud that I brought them here!
Sadly the only photos I have are of the vegan dishes, but we will 10000% be coming back again. Also, their kkakdugi and garlic stem side dishes are SO good. Perfect with a bowl of white rice!!”
“Brooks was our server. He was authentic and genuine. He ensured we were happy and it’s awesome to see this place having great staff. We had a great time”
“One of the things I really like about this hot pot buffet is the variety beyond just the hot pot itself. They offer a nice selection of complimentary snacks, side dishes, and desserts, which makes the whole experience feel more complete and enjoyable.
It’s also a great place to come with friends. The atmosphere is relaxed, there’s plenty of food to share, and everyone can find something they like. Whether you’re catching up or just hanging out, it’s an easy spot for a group meal.
Overall, a fun and satisfying place to dine, especially if you enjoy having lots of options!”
“Hawaiian pizza was zero out of five stars just the way it should be. Absolutely horrible, and exactly what my wife deserves for insisting on ruining half a pizza.”
“The BEST Filipino restaurant in Burnaby!🇵🇭 The food is incredible and the service makes you feel like family. Highly recommend! ✨ Will definitely be back! 😊”
“We had a family dinner this is the second one and there was plenty of food and everyone enjoyed it I would do it again in a minuite. Excellent!”
“Dee-licious!!! 🤤😍💕 Definitely recommend the cheese fried rice. Great for dates, family dinners, or a casual drink + meal.”
“Africa / Kenya / Ugandan Shia Imami Ismaili fusion food ! Delightful tastes and exceptionally clean restaurant with , lovely service and talented owner Chef on site ! Highly recommended as a tribute to an immense , diverse history of Ismaili culture ! Eat healthy and tasty !! The crisp and juicy chicken samosas , delicately wrapped in filo pastry , fried cassava with divine dips , the bbq beef ribs and ginormous mince lamb kebabs were exceptional !! Highly recommended to try this local Burnaby treasure for the palate !!”

“So beautiful, delicious food, and great service. Family feel restaurant. Can't stress how pretty and Greek it is inside: statues, decor, columns, family photos!”
“Mesob Restaurant is an absolute gem! The flavours are unlike anything we've experienced — bold, aromatic, and beautifully layered. The vegan options are not only plentiful but genuinely delicious, proving plant-based eating can be incredibly satisfying. Best of all, everything is fairly priced, making it easy to order generously and explore the menu. Highly recommend!”
“What an amazing little bistro!
Very creative menu, traditional favorites with a flair for presentation and great flavour. Will definitely be back to try different menu items, excellent portion sizes as well!”
“There was a prolonging on where over $30 total purchase, you can get 地三鲜 for $10. It’s a pretty good deal and they certainly nailed it.”
“Recommended by the French gang. Christophe is serious about his chocolates and viennoiseries. Never disappointed. Chocolate bike guy ain't got nothing on him 😂 You can also buy the croissant and pains au chocolat Frozen and make them at home. My god the proof on those is amazing”
“Seen many Korean street side chicken places on You Tube. Decided to give this a try for the first time . Went to the location on Canada Way. Ordered the family Sweet Soy Chicken & Fries Took awhile to prepare the food (15 mins) No wonder ,huge amount of chicken box was packed full. Large pieces very flavorful, not greasy at all like Churches grease feast j chicken . Fries were amazing .I found a new go to place to buy chicken for a game . A tad pricey, buy I assure you very well worth the money . If this place franchises, they will give KFC & Churches very serious condition . My first time there , highly impressed. I highly recommended you try this. Will not be disappointed. Very pleasant staff. Simple decor, but the service & food will amaze you . Thank you so very much for an amazing meal. I will definitely will be returning . Added a picture, this is after 3 people eating Big pieces and loads left ... Go visit this place . You won't regret it !!!”
“My time at this place is nothing but outstanding. This place got everything you possibly need.
The atmosphere when I walked in was well decorated with country flags at the front representing fifa world cup. Also the whole place is decorated with different varietys of Japanese culture. The music playing was also perfect volume.
The service is quick, and they gave us a thing where if we went there four times, we get a free side i think.
The food is phenomenal, the Ramen is perfectly salty, and flavor. I recommend getting chefs recommendations because chefs got taste like that. The pork belly is so soft it is like pull apart type. There are also vegetarian options that taste great too.
I highly recommend this spot to tourist or anyone who wants good Ramen in Vancouver.”
“We absolutely love their chicken wings and clear broth noodle soups (chicken or pork). It's a cozy little Malaysian joint.”
“Food is delicious.Atmosphere is good. It is clean and view is beautiful beside the window. We came over with our friends and everyone enjoyed. Definitely will come again. We forgot to take pictures as all food quickly gone 😅.”
“Moved to Burnaby and this instantly became my go to place. I’ve taken many friends here. The food was excellent, service was fantastic. Thursdays deals are so great!”
“Tommy. Your efforts are not without notice. We came in as strangers but were treated like kinfolk. Atmosphere was great and the service was quick dispite how popular and packed your establishment was. I can tell, sitting at the bar watching you prep that you know what you are doing. You are dedicated to the craft and you are passionate in what you do. That is something very refreshing to see in a sushi landscape that has been commercialized and commoditized.
Although I do not know what your vision is, there definitely is a sense almost tangible that it exists. I can tell by the interaction with all of your patrons that many of them are regulars and let that be a true testament to what you bring to the community and beyond.
Thank you for the wonderful experience. I hope to become a regular myself as the food and everything came together wonderfully making the trek from Langley completely worth it.
Kannpai”
“Their chicken tastes way too good!!! Deviled fried chicken is my favourite!!! I’m addicted to their chicken! Attached is a photo this one is soy garlic I just ate but still way too good!!”
“All the menu are pork. I am Moeslem can’t eat pork. I can only eat vegetables with noodle and salmon with noodle. 🙏🙏🙏”
“Open late, kpop music blasting, bumping vibe, alcohol served, friendly staff, surprisingly refreshing gem in an area that could use more love. Dined in at 1am, had garlic soy, complimentary pickled radish.”
“Simply the best Japanese restaurant in greater Vancouver. Been here for a few years and always deeply satisfied. Cozy ambience and attentive service. Tried a new dessert tonight—the miso caramel cheesecake was such a delight!”
“Absolutely delicious… service with a smile and very quick! Recommend to everyone!”
“I remember Sugar Lab being one of the early places to popularize the mille crepe trend, and it really stood out at the time with those delicate, intricate layers that everyone was fascinated by.
After all these years, it’s impressive that they’re still around and the quality hasn’t changed—those mille crepes taste just as good as I remember. A reliable spot if you’re craving something nostalgic and well-made.”
“I don't leave reviews often, but this spot deserves it! I mainly order takeout from here and they never fail. Kind notes on the packaging, good food, the mystery freebie sometimes lol. 100/10 would recommend <3”
“Fantastic sushi restaurant with high-quality ingredients and great customer service. Every roll was neatly prepared, the sashimi was exceptionally fresh, and the menu offered plenty of variety. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it an easy choice for future dinners. One of the best sushi experiences we've had recently.”
“I ordered the Unagi Don, and it was delicious! The grilled eel was tender, flavorful, and had a perfect balance of sweet and savory sauce. The portion was satisfying, and everything tasted fresh. The service was friendly, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes!”
“I went with friends for a birthday dinner. The food was great, and the restaurant has a classy feel. Our servers, Rachael and Ritish were very warm and genuine. They presented the birthday girl with a delicious lava cake(looked beautiful on the plate)and sang happy birthday 🙂”
“Hidden gem in Burnaby North, best Japanese/Korean venue on Hastings in Burnaby. Definitely the best tempuras in Lower Mainland that I've ever eaten; light and crispy thin batter, not greasy at all. Restaurant overall cleanliness well maintained, convenient parking, exceptionally pleasant and attentive staff. Highly recommended for anyone wishing a happy meal with friends or families for reasonable pricing for similar venues in area.”
“The portions are enormous and the food is high quality for the price. Plentiful side dishes. I got the fried squid add on expecting it to be a little more protein, but it’s an insane amount for only $15.
Looking at the 1-star reviews, I’m not sure what these people were smoking to have that experience, but it’s tragic it’s brought this place’s reviews lower than it should be.”
“that was honestly one of the tastiest breakfasts I've ever had .. the pulled pork benny was delicious!!”
“i’ve been coming to this restaurant for almost three years now, and it has become such a comforting place with the most comforting food. everything about this restaurant holds such a special place in both my heart and my stomach.
the servers are always incredibly friendly, and the food is warm, comforting, and genuinely delicious. my partner and i often come here for late-night dinners, and it always hits. we once came two nights in a row, and one of the servers recognized us and seated us at the same table we had sat at the night before LOL
we had the seoltang and mackerel, and they gave me so much warmth. i genuinely feel like my soul gets a little warmer every time i take a bite of their food. please, please, PLEASE never close down!!! i love the food and everyone who works here so much 😭❤”
“We were staying at the hotel while my hubby had heart surgery and ate there our first night. THE FOOD AT ATMOSPHERE IS AMAZING!! The second night I made an order online but accidentally pushed the Westshore location...(I'm in Saanich) when I was pointed out my mistake the young man up front went to talk to his manager Jenn! She had my order ready so fast! No questions asked! It was very busy in there for a Wednesday night! You guys are awesome. Thankyou again! We will be back to the hotel Accent Inn and Bin 4!”
“Sorry no pics I ate it too fast lol
Get their ‘special’ menu items, it’s genuinely a big cut above standard phó/vermicelli. Had number 37, I’m gonna come back and get it every time (I’m that kind of person). The portion wasn’t big but the amount of meat was generous for the size and the flavour was excellent. Well balanced and spiced and will plenty of veggies to put in as well as garlic and thai chillies on the side. Not greasy, not too salty.
It’s chill in here, I like the decor and the staff are friendly. They give you a good sized pot of tea and in general aren’t going to check up much but that’s okay with me.”
“I ordered crispy kare-kare and my wife settled for seafood pasta. The serving although we ordered solo, can feed two people. I would say that I loved the crispy kare-kare and my wife was happy with her pasta. The owner and other staff are so warm and you can feel Filipino vibes as soon as you enter the restaurant (we went to Kingsway branch). Keep it up!”
“Excellent service, food and fair pricing.
Never had a bad meal and have been coming regularly for the last three years. Highly recommend it if you've never been.”
“My favorite place at night for hotpot and great food with my family. Staff is really nice and friendly, who always ask if we need anything else and give us more Kimchi, that tastes so great”
“I almost walked past this place because the exterior looks a bit dated and the surrounding area isn’t particularly eye-catching. The dining room is also quite small and the interior could definitely use some updating. However, the high ratings convinced me to give it a try, and I’m glad I did.
I ordered the aburi sushi combo, a tamago nigiri, and a miso soup.
The miso soup was probably the weakest part of the meal. It tasted like a fairly standard instant-style miso soup with soft tofu and rehydrated seaweed. One small suggestion: the soup bowl I received was very heavily scratched from years of use. As I got further into the soup, it became difficult to tell whether the marks were simply wear or if the bowl wasn’t completely clean. Replacing some of the older bowls would improve the overall dining experience.
The real highlight was the aburi sushi combo. It took a little longer than expected to arrive, but once it did, I understood why. The presentation was beautiful, the variety was excellent, and the quality of the fish really stood out. Every piece had great flavor, the fish was fresh and nicely marbled, and the torching added a wonderful aroma. Considering the price, it’s honestly an outstanding value and something I’d definitely recommend ordering.
My only suggestion for the aburi sushi is that it was slightly oilier than necessary. It looked like the sushi was torched directly on the serving plate, leaving quite a bit of rendered fish oil underneath. The rice had already absorbed some of the oil from the fish, and then picked up even more from the plate. It wasn’t greasy enough to ruin the dish, but it did make the overall bite a little heavier. I think torching the sushi first and plating it afterward could help preserve the same great flavor while keeping the rice lighter.
The tamago nigiri was just okay. It tasted like the tamago had been refrigerated and reheated before serving, so it lacked the soft, freshly made texture I was hoping for. To be fair, I visited around 4 p.m. and I was the only customer, so I completely understand why they weren’t making fresh tamago at that time. It was a little disappointing, but not a dealbreaker.
The service was friendly and efficient. Nothing particularly exceptional, but definitely pleasant.
Overall, despite the dated interior, the quality of the sushi exceeded my expectations. With a few small improvements, this place could be even better. I’d happily come back again, especially for the aburi sushi combo.”
“Such a great spot to stop by for a cold beer and some light snacks! 🍻
Love the chill, laid-back atmosphere!! perfect for unwinding after work or catching up with friends. They often have fun events during the week like trivia nights that keep things lively and fun!
Now that they’ve got a food truck on-site, it’s even better! 🙌
Perfect place for mini dates, casual hangouts, or weekend meetups. You can even bring your crew for board games!
Definitely one of my go-to local breweries!”
“100% Japanese own managed and ran and staffed I gotta say five out of five Excellent service”
“Wasn’t too busy when we went. The food was good with lots of different options for the ayce. We got cotton candy at the end of the meal but the cotton candy machine was a bit faulty. The staff were so helpful with the machine repair so that we could enjoy it in the end. A really good more price friendly ayce hot pot option in the Metrotown area”

“Visited for the first time since the new owners took over, and what a pleasant surprise! The restaurant has a fresh new energy while still keeping the quality and spirit of a great Japanese dining experience. The biggest standout was the freshness of the food. From the sushi to the sashimi, every bite tasted incredibly fresh and well-prepared. The ingredients were high quality, the presentation was beautiful, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The menu offers some exciting new options, bringing a different flavor and experience compared to before. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. It's great to see this restaurant thriving under new management. If you haven't visited recently, I highly recommend giving it another try. Fresh ingredients, delicious food, friendly service, and excellent value. We'll definitely be back!”
“recently i purchased banana loaf. whole wheat cranberry muffins/ cheese scones/ raisin scones and shortbread cookies which are bought every year all were excellent. however, the shortbread were lacking---no butter perhaps? they had a strong taste of the inside of the oven---i had several and composted the rest/ please do not post as everything else was perfect and i shall continue to shop here. with respect”
“Went there recently and ordered a lamb donair, and the new lady there made the best donair I have ever had, not just randomly slapped together, but built properly with meat on one side and the veggies on the other side, it both tasted fantastic and looked delicious.”

“Been here a few times now. One of the largest coffee shops for seating which is super nice. A great selection too, I've only had the drinks so far. But the cakes all look great too. Services are excellent and they have everything you need (spoons, forks, honey, sugar) etc all laid out to use. Would definitely come again.”
“If you order the normal ayce, the meats you get are kind of the run of the mill things. Cheaper cuts that aren't anything special. The seafood is also kind of regular besides the full head on shrimp which was actually pretty good if you don't mind getting a bit messy. The cooked food like she shiumai was good as well as their egg tarts for dessert.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I came to Claudio’s Ristorante with friends and had a wonderful dining experience.
We absolutely loved the carpaccio—it was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to share. The Linguini Vongole was excellent, and the Manila clams were perfectly cooked, tender, and delicious.
The combination of great food, exceptional service, and a cozy atmosphere made for a memorable night with friends. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine. 🍝✨🥂”
“Very timely staff and prompt service. I was working in the hot sun all day outside the location when the owner/manager brought out promo coupons for the whole road crew. Very generous! It's thoughtful service like this that will keep the franchise inind in the future.”
“It was my first time trying this restaurant and wow, it was soooo good! I had the beef stroganoff and it definitely did not disappoint. The creaminess was just right and not overpowering at all. I absolutely loved it! And gosh, I totally fell in love with the churros too! Will definitely come back for sure! 😍”

“If you're looking for amazing Chinese-style fried chicken, this place is definitely worth a visit! The chicken is marinated incredibly well, so every bite is packed with flavor. It's juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned all the way through.
We also tried the chicken sandwitch and fries, and they were just as impressive. The chicken fillet inside the burger was extra crispy on the outside while staying moist and tender inside. The chicken strips had the same satisfying crunch, and the fries were freshly cooked, crispy, and well-seasoned.
The portion sizes are very generous, making it excellent value for the price. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell they put real care into preparing the food instead of just relying on heavy seasoning or sauces.
If this restaurant ever opened a location in Richmond, I honestly think it would give many local fried chicken places some serious competition. It's one of the best fried chicken meals I've had in a long time, and I would definitely come back. Highly recommended!”
“2026 Father's Day Happy Hour Get-Together for 12-guests.
Our Nemo-6-Special-Rolls (48pieces) tray is fabulously delicious, so does the other kind of Sushi, Oshi, we ordered, we like the acid-sweet balance and texture of their sushi rice; Nemo's Sashimi slices are some of the freshest and thickest cut compared to the other Japanese-sashimi class restaurants we tried; though we ordered 19-dishes for 12 guest, there was not much left that we pack as left over, a solid testimony of how much we enjoyed our food at Nemo.
Many thanks to Angel, Dymphna and Hazel for providing genuine, friendly, casual yet very efficient service for our group. Everyone is happy and most probably will come back, including us.”
“We found this place by chance, and now we’ve been back twice! The pizza is honestly so good, with a flavor that’s hard to find. We ordered two personal pizzas for only $10.95, which felt like an amazing price.
The shop itself isn’t fancy, but the food is what matters, and it definitely delivers. I hope more people give this place a chance because it’s absolutely worth it. We’ll be coming back again!”
“Mesob Restaurant is an absolute gem! The flavours are unlike anything we've experienced — bold, aromatic, and beautifully layered. The vegan options are not only plentiful but genuinely delicious, proving plant-based eating can be incredibly satisfying. Best of all, everything is fairly priced, making it easy to order generously and explore the menu. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give Galbi Korean BBQ 6 stars, I would.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. We went on a Sunday night and expected a wait, it was about 45 minutes but absolutely worth it. We ordered the Chef’s BBQ Combo D, and it was more than enough for all of us to leave completely full. They continuously refilled our sides and sauces, so we were never without anything. Everything felt clean, organized, and really well run.
My personal favourites were the marinated beef short rib, the fresh salad, bean paste soup, scallion salad, and the cheesy corn — all so flavourful and perfectly done.
This is hands down one of the best spots to come with your partner or a group, where you can relax, cook together, and actually enjoy the experience as much as the food. We’ll 100% be coming back. 🔥🥩”
“My time at this place is nothing but outstanding. This place got everything you possibly need.
The atmosphere when I walked in was well decorated with country flags at the front representing fifa world cup. Also the whole place is decorated with different varietys of Japanese culture. The music playing was also perfect volume.
The service is quick, and they gave us a thing where if we went there four times, we get a free side i think.
The food is phenomenal, the Ramen is perfectly salty, and flavor. I recommend getting chefs recommendations because chefs got taste like that. The pork belly is so soft it is like pull apart type. There are also vegetarian options that taste great too.
I highly recommend this spot to tourist or anyone who wants good Ramen in Vancouver.”
“Authentic Mumbai style food! One of the rare spots in Metro Vancouver that serves good Maharastrian / Marathi food. A wide assortment of dishes to choose from. We will definitely be going again to try some of the things we didn't get to try today. Vadapav was specially good! Street Parking is free and unlimited after 6pm and it also has a smaller lots close by.”
“I had the Lunch Special Non-veg for lunch today and I added a side of Naan (always get more Naan.) I loved the Butter Chicken so much. The Chicken Vindaloo was awesome. The Mutar Paneer was SO good. Everything was great! Used the Naan to scoop up all if the remaining sauce. My plate was sparkling clean when I was done. Will get again 100%. Price was great too.”
“Came to visit and we ordered three drinks in total. We were helped by a very kind and accommodating employee named Leo. We asked many questions about the menu which he answered patiently and informatively. He even allowed us to sample some of the tea before we purchased our bubble tea's. Thank you for your service, Leo! We're happy customers and we will be back to try more flavours.”
