Comfort Food Restaurants near Burnaby, BC

“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!“

“Upon entering, they have a number system, make sure you grab a number.
The staff here is very very polite and friendly. Our server even asked us if it's our first time here, and what she would recommend. The lunch combos come with a complementry drink. Our drinks were delicious. We didn't drink the majority of it because we didn't want to fill ourselves up before our hotpot.

My friend got the Korean hot pot. It is nicely spiced, exceeds generous in portion and she said she would order this again.
She didn't realize that the hot pot had ramen noodles inside it. This combo comes with a side of rice too. I got the seafood and tofu hot pot. I also didn't realize that it had vermecelli noodles in it, and my combo came with a complementry choice of vermecelli noodles or rice. Word of caution, ask the server if the hotpot has any noodles inside it first, before choosing your complementary side. Also come hungry because it's a whole lot of food. We ended up taking our free beverages with us back to the dog park. It was perfect, no complaints.

Our meals were delicious. My friend loved how they refill our hotpot with broth, and not water. It's a pet peeve we got lol. If your hot pot gets too hot you can ask the server to put out the flame.
Would we come back? Based upon our own experience, we had a great lunch here. So yes.“

“I give this place five stars across the board, but it deserves more than that. The service was amazing, the food was absolutely wonderful, and the chef even went above and beyond to accommodate for our diet restrictions. The atmosphere is also something else entirely. I would 100% come back, and recommend to a friend.“

“The BEST homemade soup ever!! I had 2 large Chicken Cheddar Broccoli Chowders for lunch on Thursday! OMG. It was so good I couldn't eat the sandwich . . . . The food is so good.“

“Had an amazing time coming to Motonobu! The food has always been delicious, one of the better spots to bring people out of town to eat! Been here multiple times and every visit has been pleasent! Only downside is the waiters/waitresses can be inattentive at times. Overall though, Motonobu is a great spot to celebrate milestones at!“

“Very tasty! I recommend!
However, I ordered Kung Pao combo for takeout. I got home and was disappointed with the amount of food for $21.something. So, I returned to the establishment and expressed my concern. I was told that it looks like a smaller amount because they changed containers. Bull duty!
Yeah, they changed containers, however, they started serving smaller amounts in those larger containers.

Very polite and accommodating staff.“
