“We had a wonderful experience. Sierra was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The service was fast, courteous, and delivered with a genuine smile. Great customer service like this makes a big difference, and we truly appreciate the excellent hospitality. Thank you for making our dining experience so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!“

“the food is great and always quickly served. the staff is very friendly and the pricing is reasonable. great portion size as well. support small business!“

“Top tier semi hidden bar! It's a bit of a time capsule to an older-Van style, unpretentious sports-bar roadhouse type place. The location is unusual, sort of at the basement of an apartment complex on a road you've never been to before, situated on an urban residential cul-de-sac, giving the bar a sheen of surreality.

With many pool tables, lots of tables, two big screens for 2 different games to watch, and good prices for beer, I'd be here all the time if it was local to me.

Special mention for the food: had the chef's special lasanga last night and it was so good ordered a second dinner to try!

Judging from the crowd, people of all ages who know good spots know this place. Check it out!“

“Extraordinary experience. Sarah was excellent in her attention to detail and the food was delicious. The patio feels like we are in a tropical place. Highly recommend and we’ll be back. Thank you!“

“This was the second best food I’ve ever tasted after my mother’s cooking. The waffles were so fresh and soft, the mozzarella sticks were so cheesy, everything was fresh! Even their omelettes! (which is rare in other restaurants) our server Naomi was sooooo kind! And so are the other servers. It’s a nice atmosphere, amazing service, and the food was amazing. Overall, infinity/10“

“good food, good service, friendly staff.“

“服務親切 食材新鮮 咖啡非常好喝 便宜又可以免費續杯“

“Kapow Burger is a fun, quirky spot with a small seating area inside and a roadside patio that gives it a lively, casual vibe. They have games you can bring to your table, which makes it a great place to hang out with friends while you eat. It’s self-service, but the staff were super quick and really friendly.

We both ordered the Double Kapow and the burger itself was really good. My only small complaint was that the buns were cold..a warm bun would’ve taken it from great to top-notch.

It’s definitely a loud, busy place on a Saturday night, but that just adds to the energetic atmosphere. A solid spot if you’re looking for a fun, no-frills burger night. 🍔“

“BEST BREAKFAST EVER!!!! I always order the Bulgogi Benney (Korean beef Benedict) INSANELY DELICIOUS! Fast and friendly service EVERY TIME. Anytime we are in town, we make a point of having breakfast here. It is a MUST!“

“We visited Denny’s and Pawan was our server, we have been here many times but the service we have received from Pawan has been the best we have ever received, she was super kind, friendly, bubbly and warm welcoming. We would come back to here just to see her. She is the best server we have had at this location ever.

She definitely adds amazing personality to the team and restaurant! Highly recommend asking to sit in her section if you want great service and overall experience! Super attentive and great customer service“

“Absolutely terrible service served cold meals cooked sitting under heat lamps for 5 min or more . Never going back“

“A massive thank you to everyone at Tap & Barrel Olympic Village for taking a great care of our party of 50 on June 22, 2026. The patio set up, the food, the drinks, the view and your hospitality made the event extra special and memorable. We look forward to dining with you again!“

“Great staff, food, location and atmosphere. ♥️“

“I went for breakfast and it was Amazing“

“friendly staff, casual atmosphere“

“Amazing food, ambiance was incredible. Best burger in Richmond“

“It's important to remember when visiting Quizine that this is an educational / learning environment for VCC students. I've never had a bad meal from Quizine and I find the prices super reasonable considering what you get. Decent selection of items (although I have to admit that my dietary restrictions are minimal so I can't speak on that front). It can be a little slow when it's busy but, again, that's to be expected.“

“Finally made it here and had the chicken and waffles for my lunch. Delicious 🤤 Perfectly cooked crispy fried chicken and yummy waffles 🧇. Will be back to try more of their menu.“

“Home cooking at its best Great, friendly service“

“I love the food, it’s always delicious with good portions and is amazing value. The service is quick and is way better than an ihop or Denny’s place. Nancy is the star of the show, she is so sweet, provides excellent service and takes the time to remember your name and greet you warmly. This is such a lovely gem in new west and I’m glad to have this spot as a go to breakfast/lunch spot! 😊“

“I hired Smoke and Bones for my Birthday June 30th and I wasn’t disappointed!
I have had this company three times for private parties, their food and service is definitely 5 stars!
I can’t say enough about the quality of their food as well as large portions.
I would recommend Smoke and Bones 100%!“

“Bons is an institution, the food is Old school greasy spoon at its finest. The atmosphere brings you back to late night fries and gravy with your friends after the club circa 1991... Never disappointed, always busy tho , so plan for a bit noisy and a bit of a wait especially early morning weekdays and brunch on the weekend .“

“If you're tired of overpriced pretentious restaurants in Vancouver, and want some old school comfort food served by experienced attentive staff, you must try this Vancouver landmark. First time I've been here in 50 years and it will not be the last. The sole waitress was also the hostess, cashier, busser, and coffee refiller. The owner cooked, served and cashier. With restaurants dropping like flies in Vancouver due to high cost and labour shortage, it's amazing to see how efficiently this old school diner is run to keep labour cost and menu prices down.“

“My VCC (Deaf) "....................,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,“

“Its a cute small mom & pop type of local restaurant in south Vancouver, the atmosphere is retro type and its in a retro 90s 80s building , has parking lot ,and nearby to bus stops. Its got verity including vegetarian, its more then a breakfast place they also got burgers 🍔, 🍲 soups ,fish and Chips 🍟. Indoor seating with tables chairs and booths, little bit outside seating, staff here are good“

“I am not a smash burger person but I liked this one. I would definitely eat this burger again but there are things that I didn't like. It took almost 30 minutes to get the burger after we sat to our table and it wasn't crowded. As everyone mentions, the smoke, the smell and the vents are also no-no. I think it's best to order the burger 10-15 minutes before getting there and pick it up to eat somewhere else.“

“Friendly staff and a fun crowd makes the Princeton a memorable night out.“

“The staff and the food were so good. There are so many options to choose from for breakfast. And thier lattes are made with a really nice espresso. I loved the ambiance of the dinner too.“

“I just came in for breakfast this morning. Food was good and got great service from Ashlie. She is always nice and pleasant. Thank you!“

“Great food and service!! Definitely would go again“

“I went there to watch the World Cup today, and I had a great experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, and both the beer and the food were excellent. The Beef Ragu was especially memorable, it was so delicious that I'd happily come back just for that. I also really enjoyed the dark beer. As a sports pub, it had a great atmosphere, and watching the game was comfortable with excellent views of the screens. I'll definitely be back!“

“Fantastic waitress/ entertainment. Helen Keller, the longshoreman kept us going. 😁“

“Our first time visiting today and highly recommend. Our server Francine was lovely and friendly. The food was great and out in really good time dispute there being a fair few tables in. Will definitely visit again. Thank you for the lovely experience 😊“

“great food and atmosphere!“

“Great staff! Cosy atmosphere.“

“Nice portion size on their breakfast. Nice and friendly staff“

“great place for Oilers fans“

“They removed their gluten-free pancake option from the menu 😞

I was so upset about this when I went.

They do still have some options for gluten-free dining, but its eggs and bacon sorts of meals. Nothing with pancakes or waffles, which lets be honest, is what you want when you go to ihop.

The food was still good, and the service too. My friends and I were there for quite awhile, and they never got impatient with us or told us to settle up.

All in all it was good...I just miss the gluten-free pancake option.“

“Sat at the bar on Saturday night that just passed. It looked like there was just one woman working. She was attentive to everyone: patrons greeted, orders taken, waters refilled. Total pro. I hope she left with a lot of tips cause she was well deserving of it.“

“I visited IKEA Saudi Arabia many times during my stay there n then South Korea. And this evening I was at IKEA Coquitlam Canada. I always enjoy visiting IKEA all the places because of its keeping n offering excellent quality goods - mainly furniture - at reasonable n affordable prices. And today again it was a great experience visiting there at IKEA with my daughter n family members. We enjoyed shopping there n bought many good things. We even bought a Pakistan made twin-size duvet cover with pillow cover though I came here just two weeks back from there, though I bought a Turkish made one because of their high quality fabric and thread count. And as usual we enjoyed dining there as we never found it expensive though IKEA always offer good quality meals and its large dining area is always almost full with people from all around the world. My most favourite dish here at IKEA Coquitlam was Fish with Chips as was in South Korea. While at Jeddah in Saudi Arabia it was Hummus and Omelette while there mostly Saudi women visit just to eat high value food of their choice. And it was another good attraction for dinning people at IKEA Canada to have pleasure of taking free tea n coffee after easy n free membership. MORE POWER TO IKEA -Worldwide ❤️“

“I’m currently sitting at the bar, the beer on tap was good, and the bar service was good. I ordered a Bison Burger which was just OK, the patty was dry, and the fixings were just OK. The French fries SUCKED, it felt like I got the dregs of the Mckains bag, small and very underwhelming. When I asked the bartender if he wanted any feedback, he said “I didn’t cook it”. I informed him, that I was aware he didn’t cook it. When I asked the bartender’s if he passed my comments onto the kitchen he said “No”. I paid my bill and let him know through the mechanism of tipping, all was just OK. T - to I - insure P - proper S - service Great atmosphere.“

“🥂👍 very beautiful. very tasty. romantic.“

“Very delicious 🤤 and the attention is great“

“Really good service, a very comfortable sports bar, great food and a great wine list.“
