The Boss Restaurant, a Hong Kong-style cafe located inside Metrotown Mall and conveniently next to Walmart, offers a mix of experiences. While the taste is described as very average, the portion sizes are big, and they have an all-day breakfast menu. The service can be lacking, with servers often chatting among themselves rather than attending to customers. Seating is tight, but there is ample free parking available at the mall. Customers appreciate the restaurant for its nostalgia and the consistently delicious Beef Tomato Spaghetti Hong Kong-style dish. The restaurant has been a favorite for 15 years, with friendly staff enhancing the experience. Although it can get crowded, especially during lunch and dinner, the efficient queuing system with QR code scanning improves the situation. The all-day breakfast combo is a popular choice, and the ice lemon tea is noted for its good flavor and balanced sweetness.
Recent reviews highlight some issues with staff, who can be impatient if customers take time to choose from the menu. Customers with peanut allergies are advised to be cautious. The restaurant is a quick stop for some food and fills the tummy, but there have been concerns about the kids menu, which features a pug drawing that was stolen from a local artist without permission or proper crediting. This has sparked calls for the artist to get proper recognition.
On a positive note, many customers find the food quality to be excellent, with dishes like beef brisket with rice noodles, daikon cake, and steak and eggs in the milk tea receiving praise. The service is considered good by some, and the value remains decent, making it a place worth visiting again.
