“This hidden gem provides the most excellent rich broth. The extremely good tasting lamb and other meats that balance the bowl of noodles perfectly. Topped with various veggies, this noodle spot has some of the most authentic Chinese noodle bowls I've ever tasted. The service and the fact that you can see the chef making your broth, stretching their hand made noodles, this is a spot worth trying every time.“

“Great food and a nice experience overall. The noodles were fresh, flavourful, and the portion size was pretty generous. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. I ordered medium spice and it was definetly hotter than I expected, but still really enjoyable. I’ll be back to try another dish!“

“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.“

“It had been years since my last solo dining experience, a streak finally broken by a flashy sign promising a hot $12.80 beef set before 5 PM (along with temporary shelter from the light rain). Though the staff appeared to be new, they were accommodating and I appreciated their hard work. The warm food (the beef set with a mushroom-broth base) hit the spot, with a versatile sauce bar to customize the flavors. I’d highly recommend this discounted set as a pre-workout meal. Thank you for the warm food and the hospitality while escaping the weather.“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed this place. The broth was clean and had great flavor, noodles were perfectly chewy, and the meat was cooked so well - really tender. The fried tofu paired nicely with the udon too, seasoning was spot on.
Next time I want to try their cold udon, curious how it compares!“

“Excellent food and excellent service. I ordered the spicy traditional beef noodle soup and the pork dumplings, and both were outstanding. The beef noodle soup had an incredibly rich, spicy broth with tender chunks of beef, and the dumplings were fresh and delicious. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, and everything came out quickly. Easily one of the best noodle spots I’ve been to in Coquitlam. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Edit: 6 years ago their bun bo hue was one of the best in the city. I just tried it again and now it is just average. All the chopped spices are gone and the broth taste bland. I have to change my rating from 5/5 to 3.5/5
I love their bun bo hue. It's the best bun bo hue I've had in Vancouver. The broth is full of finely chopped herbs and spices floating on top that I don't see in most other Vietnamese restaurants. Their pho with lemongrass grilled chicken is delicious as well. Their grilled beef skewer is amazing and I love that you can order a single skewer as a side instead of a full dish. Lastly, this is kind of a silly thing to say but they make beautiful and perfect sunny side up eggs.“

“We’ve been here for dim sum a handful of times, and the food is consistently great. Service has always been good as well.
Unfortunately, during our most recent visit, we ordered the hot and sour seafood soup and found a very long black hair in it (and we are all blonde). We let our server know right away, and they were very apologetic and removed the dish from our bill.
That said, we were a bit surprised that nothing further was offered—no small discount or even a dessert on the house. While we appreciated the apology, it felt like a missed opportunity to go a step further in making things right.
A bit disappointing, especially when the “extra ingredient” definitely wasn’t something we ordered.“

“This is our go-to restaurant whenever we don’t know where to go, we know the food here will always satisfy our cravings! I highly recommend the clay pot rice, it’s a must have! The rice is crispy on the outside and so flavourful with their customized sauce and meats! Just make sure to order it right away since it takes about 30 minutes to make.“

“Friendly family run breakfast noodle shop located in the food court attached to T&T in Surrey.
The prices here are very decent and the front counter team is very friendly. They usually have a decent sized line of people - so be prepared to wait a little bit.
It’s good to satisfy a morning noodle craving.“

“Decent service. I ordered the dan dan noodles and salt and pepper chicken. The chicken was really good - juicy on the inside and not dry at all. The dan dan noodles came in a big portion, but I had to add some chili oil to make it spicier. The restaurant was a bit dark inside.“

“Surprised to see a big and comfy restaurant tucked away in this area. They serve the noodles, soup, and toppings all separately, giving you plenty of options to customize your dish. Their bubble tea is also quite nice, so I highly recommend giving their noodles a try :)“

“We usually order the Korean army stew, and my partner gets the spicy kimbap. We also like to add a side of cup-bokki.
One time, the cup-bokki wasn’t as spicy or flavorful as usual. It seemed like it had been served before it was fully cooked, so the sauce was still watery and hadn’t simmered down enough. We didn’t want to cause any trouble, but we quietly let the staff know. They took it back and cooked it again, but unfortunately, it was still a bit watery. They then offered us a refund, but we told them it was okay because mistakes happen, and we understand that tteokbokki needs time to cook down properly.
When we went back today, the quality of the tteokbokki was much better. It was flavorful, properly cooked, and really tasty. The staff have always been very kind as well, which we appreciate.“

“I've been coming to Full Ramen since it opened, and I go several times a month. It is the best ramen place in Surrey, hands down, and I always bring friends and family there. It's always worth it to go in, though I have it delivered from time to time as well. My favourite is the classic Tonkatsu ramen and I get it without the wakame because of my personal taste, but if you're a fan of it then keep it in. Lovely staff, she knows me and knows my order by heart which I appreciate.“

“Authentic Chinese cuisine ran by very kind owners. Whether it is to dine in or takeout, you can never go wrong with this restaurant. The fried rice, honey garlic ribs, and sweet and sour pork are some of their dishes I enjoy most. The vibe inside the restaurant feels very Chinese as well. Though the restaurant is cramped and may be overwhelming sometimes, the food is cooked to near perfection and the restaurant is simply a happy place to be in.“

“Congee Noodle King is a classic spot back in the day when you wanted some good “sui yeh”. Since COVID, the closing hours have been reduced but you can still have a decent bite to eat!
If you’re in the mood for delicious congee (which they have the craziest variety of) and satisfying noodle dishes like the swirly egg shrimp noodle, this is the place! They’ve done some recent renovations to the place and added more tables. Previously, it was a bit dated and I’m glad they added some more spots as the restaurant tends to be a bit overpacked.
It’s a place where you can expect generous portions, reasonable prices, and consistent wok hei flavoured dishes. Beyond congee and noodles, the menu also includes a wide range of Cantonese-style dishes such as stir-fried vegetables, fried rice, seafood and a variety of the classic sweet and sour pork/chicken, fried proteins and soups. My go-to dishes are:
Swirly egg shrimp noodle
Salty fish and chicken fried rice
Sweet and sour pork chops
Seafood Chow Mein (crispy)
Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket with Noodle
The service can be hit or miss, sometimes they are so busy you may not get a tea refill or get your order in. A majority of reviews I find always complain about the “service” or servers being rude, but that’s just how they come off to be. They are trying their best and English is not their first language, so please be patient and nice to the staff!“

“If you’re a ramen lover in Vancouver, you’ve probably heard of Marutama Ra-men. This iconic chain founded in Japan back in 2001 has spread across the globe and is known for their signature creamy chicken broth with aosa seaweed. Recently, they opened up a new location near Metrotown (in the former Ramen Raijin spot on Kingsway) and I visited during their soft opening.
Knowing how fanatical ramen people are, I made sure to show up early to avoid the lineups. I was maybe 5 minutes past their opening time and the place was already packed. I managed to get one of their last open seats at the large communal table and perused their rather limited menu offering. Although they don’t have a large number of items on their menu, you can somewhat customize your ramen bowl to your liking. However, I just stuck with the basic Tamago Ramen ($11.25) and asked for the mild option. After that, I waited, and waited, and waited… they seemed rather slow but that could be because it was their soft opening.
When my food finally arrived, there was already a lineup of diners outside the restaurant waiting patiently for a table. The bowl comes with 2 pieces of chashu which I found to be okay but not the tenderest that I’ve had before (I’ve had much better elsewhere). The ajitama (soft-boiled egg) was nicely prepared with a creamy and partly runny yolk. While you can add a noodle refil for $1.50, I thought there was an adequate amount of noodles already in the bowl. The thing that most people are here for is the broth. I did enjoy how the aosa seaweed and green onions melded with the flavours and the broth was fairly creamy. That being said, I felt the broth was overly salty and I carried that feeling in my mouth for a few hours after my meal.
Is this the best ramen spot in the Vancouver area? That’s probably a bit of a personal question (and, to be fair, this was their soft opening). IMOH, the broth was overly salty and the service was slow. Probably not something that I would line up for. That being said… I decided to give them another try and returned for a revisit about a month later. This time around, I ordered the Cha-Shu Tamago Ramen ($14.75) and Gyoza ($5.50)
The Gyoza was the first to arrive and had a light crispness to the exterior with a warm pork and veggie filling and tart dipping sauce. These actually weren’t too bad (maybe things are looking up?)
I have to admit that this bowl of ramen was much better than what I tried on my first visit. The pieces of cha-shu were larger and a lot more tender than on my first visit and the broth, while still somewhat salty, was much less salty than on my initial go around. In the bowl, you also get a marinated ajitama (egg) with a somewhat creamy yolk. If you go for the spicy option with your ramen, you might notice that the spicy kick creeps up on you as you drink the broth.
My thoughts? I’m assuming my experience on the first visit is a bit of a throwaway and that they were still working things out. The second visit was much better. That being said, this place is super duper busy (even when they first open up). The menu is fairly limited with just variations on the same staples but I guess that allows them to control their quality. If you’re really into ramen and have never been here before, then you might want to try this place out… just show up early or be prepared for a wait. If you’re not a big ramen fan, I wouldn’t bother with the lines.
UPDATE - June 2026: It's been 6 years since I last visited here... back before they changed names to Maruachi Ra-men. On this revisit, we ordered the Maruhachi Ra-Men Cha-Shu Tsuke-Men ($21.5) and their Signature Ramen ($21.5) made with chicken stock and added some Pan Fried Gyoza ($7.6), Wood Ear Mushrooms ($1.5), Corn ($1.5), and free Chili Oil.“

“Honestly was really really good.
I had #91 Vermicelli with chicken and spring roll.
Always get the same thing from Vietnamese restaurants and this was the best I’ve had in a long time. Price very reasonable and big portion.“

“We spent a splendid getaway in the Murray Hotel last weekend. Candy and Marianne took care of everybody in the bar with care and smile during the busy late afternoon. Their presence makes the drinks and snacks even better. Rocky and Sheldon’s offer great hospitality in the Tai Pan. We enjoyed our breakfast very much. We will come back soon!“

“Came here because I like the Victoria Dr location. It's similar but sooooo much more salty. Also the fish cakes got smaller and less generous. Still tasty though. It's a small place so prepare to wait.
Update: came back a year later and asked for less salty. Was so thirsty after I had to chug water. Why so much sodium?????“
