Amazing experience. Pasta was amazing, very fairly priced and the free bread, salad and ice cream is a huge bonus. 10/10

Lunch time is quiet and not as crowded. Great time to go for a late lunch or early dinner. They have a good happy hour.

Tasting an Old noodle…In the area so decided to give this old noodle a revisit. I think the last time I been here or any OSF was more than 6 years ago?This place is conveniently located right below the New West skytrain station. There are pay parking on the streets and the skytrain complex parkade. Inside is just like what its name said, “old” 90s vibe and atmosphere. I actually enjoy that cause it’s more laid back especially when I am doing some lonesome dining (now it seems like I need to dial 1800-rent-a-friend now lol).Secretly this is the 2nd time I am back here within 2 weeks, this time around I got seated on a one person chair and table in almost a no man’s land (maybe I was wearing my rags again lol).Here were the food I ordered the 1st time;1. It came with its famous complimentary bread and butter but I opted out on it cause I would’ve been too stuffed. (When I said its “famous”, I meant it’s their signature thing?)2. French onion soup. It came steaming lot with a good layer of melted cheese on top, the broth was rich and tasty. Simple to the point but good!3. Calamari. I find it a bit dry and crispy without the calamari flavour. Maybe I am spoiled by the juicy and tender ones at some of the Greek places.4. Steamed mussels. The broth; the tomato and white wine ratio is wasn’t well balanced, giving it that bitter taste plus the broth being so watery it didn’t help either. It almost reminded me one of those prepackaged ones you buy at the market and just reheated to eat.5. New York steak. Surprisingly the steak was perfectly done (MR), the spaghetti texture was perfectly cooked (lived up to its name), but I wish the sauce wasn’t so plain. If the sauce had a little bit more elements to it, it would’ve been a perfect dish.Here’s the 2nd time around;1. Clam chowder (New England style). It came hot and with a decent amount of ingredients. And it was smooth and creamy, basic but was good.2. Steamed mussels. Yes tried it again, just to see if it was the same as the previous time. And it was (sigh).3. Seafood fettuccine Alfredo. I changed the fettuccine to penne cause I personally like my pastas to hold the sauce more. A subtle light Alfredo taste, I would prefer it a stronger and richer in flavour. There were an okay amount of shrimps and scallops, perhaps more chunks of pan fried mushrooms would be nicer instead of a few thinly sliced mushrooms that were almost insignificant? (I don’t know what it is, there’s just something missing in this dish, it’s just toooo plain visually and taste wise).The both times I went was during happy hours (2pm-5pm) which wasn’t really my intention, I just wanted to dine peacefully without waiting in line especially when dining alone lmao.The service was a yes and no the first time? (Kinda forgotten about me here and there? And offered me ice cream and I said yes and didn’t get a glimpse of it? lol, maybe I was wearing my hoodie with a bit of rips? Lol HEY don’t judge a book by its cover lol). Second time around the service was more attentive but I got isolated in a detention one man table (I was okay with that, I prefer my private space anyways lmao).The foods were generally okay especially for the price nowadays, you get even more value for your buck during happy hours. Yeah I see myself coming back to take another bite of this OLD noodle again…

We've visited The Old Spaghetti Factory since 2006 and have taken people to eat there on special occasions. We love the decoration and atmosphere of the place. The food meets your expectations and considering the place, service and all, I think their prices are lower in proportion to other options. We'll definitely keep going when we want to spend dinner in a nice place. Attention has always been excellent. We've had to ask to be seated closer to the train instead of next to the windows that face the skytrain station, but they've had no problem fixing that for us.

It was a great experience, wonderful services and excellent staff. The food was quite good too. But I’ve been going to spaghetti Factory for years and now would be a good time to bring some change and innovation to the menu. Overall great place and definitely family friendly.

Food here is amazing. Always great quality and the staff tried to please. They seated our large group in a great secluded area and were constantly checking to ensure we had everything we need. The all-included menu is a nice option... a salad, unlimited bread and ice cream at the end really top it off for a reasonable price. I deducted 1 point for the atmosphere OUTSIDE the restaurant. The whole New Westminster skytrain station business association really needs to do something about it's homeless and drug population. I don't like having to explain to my 9yr old about drugs when they see people shooting up on the walk through the mall to the restaurant.Parking: Parking lot and the walk from the parking to the restaurant was very sketchy. There were some homeless people (which your heart goes out for) so keep your kids within reach.
