Comfort Food Restaurants near North Vancouver, BC

“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 food I have had dining out in years. You must try the coconut Shrimp. They are huge and super tasty!!!! Too many things to list. You will be satisfied with everything on the menu. The staff is also super friendly and service is fast. Definitely a must try!! I am sure you will be a repeat customer. In the middle of my review I took a picture of the coconut shrimp. So good!! A++“

“Excellent everything! We split a salad, I had the carpaccio, he had the burger, we shared the panna cotta. Atmosphere, service, food, wine, patio, price point = perfection. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing food I always go with my daughter for her favorite Mac and cheese 🧀“

“Healthy and yummy.,good services and staff.“

“We stopped in during happy hour, great food and drink specials, had some beers, steak frites and the pepperoni pizza, food was really good, our waitress was really friendly and helpful with menu questions made it a good experience.
Busy place, patio was full and looked good, has a nice view.“

“Wow! We were blown away… best vegan breakfast we’ve ever had - and we’re used to California vegan! A must-try if you’re in the city… portions a bit smaller than you’d like (but I’m 6ft8 lol) but the taste is out of this world. Burrito, sandwich, croissant, matcha… all amazing Updated from previous review on 2026-04-18“

“always delicious. always fun!“

“I’ve eaten here a few times. When they first opened to the public I was so happy that Soup Curry had finally arrived to Vancouver. The soup was hot and everything cooked to perfection.

I came here recently greeted with lovely staff but the food just wasn’t quite right. The carrot was hard and soup was lukewarm. Reading the reviews, it looks like I wasn’t alone in this experience. The meat was tender though and I enjoyed the flavour profile. One thing I would ask especially since now fall and winter are arriving is that you serve your soup curry hot 🙏🏼 I hope to return next time seeing this change.“

“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!“

“Was incredible, both my partner and I loved it“

“I was so surprised and very happy with how good everything was! the person at the front helped me so much with all my questions and explained which to get. I ended up with the beef mushroom and because I got the large, I got an egg. There was so much food I had to save it for the next day! Next time I come, I’ll be getting the curry beef as that looked just as good!“

“Cozy atmosphere, great selection of delicious food!“

“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!“

“Alicia moved through the room like practiced grace,
Balancing plates, balancing time,
Each table a small promise she kept
With a smile that never rushed, never faded.

She learned the rhythm of the restaurant—
The first rush, the quiet lull,
The way a guest’s shoulders soften
When they’re truly cared for.

Milestones passed in clinks of glasses,
Birthdays, promotions, first dates, last exams,
All stitched together by her steady service,
By water refilled before it was missed.

The food arrived just right
Warm, fragrant, beautifully plated,
Each bite reminding us why we came,
Why we stayed a little longer than planned.

Good service made the meal memorable,
Good food made the moment last,
And somewhere between the two
A simple dinner became a celebration.

If meals are measured in memories,
Then this one was counted well
Served by Alicia, with care,
And a kitchen that knew exactly what it was doing.“

“Shout our to whoever was working tonight. They had a 2 for one on Uber eats which included a side. They didn't list mashed potatoes as an option. In the notes I asked for mashed potatoes if possible. They gave me a call, not to say they couldn't, but to make sure I wanted mashed for both.

I'm used to these requests being ignored. They rock for going above and beyond. I hope the owner sees this and the employee gets the recognition they deserve.“

“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.“

“Beautiful room and great food.“

“The employees are wonderful, they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and surrounding areas. I really liked the Thunder from Down Under Parmie.“

“I ❤️the dime. every time I come here I see everyone I know and their baby mamas I love the bartenders they so chill. Only sad thing about this place is that they got rid of the ice cream sandwich

“We were lucky to be served by two amazing gentlemen at the bar last night! We were so well taken care of. Kudos to them. My husband and I came into Vancouver to do some YouTube filming and decided to end our night in your establishment and to be honest we didn’t want to leave! But all good things have to come to an end or they can’t start again. We didn’t have food this time unfortunetly. But we thourly enjoyed ourselves m. The music was AWESOME but just too loud. We sat at the end of the bar and it felt like my ear was being blown off, but in most def not in my 20’s 😆

We usually do whistler EFW and it also never disappoints. U really have an eye for bartenders!

Another lad joined at the end from down the road and he was lovely. Really looking forward to our next trip to van.“

“Very delicious 🤤 and the attention is great“

“Generous portions, fresh ingredients, it comes in an individual metal hotpot dish. You can't control the temperature and you can smell the charcoal or something, which is kind of a strong smell. It keeps the soup boiling literally it will spill out if you don't eat it fast enough. Tasted yummy, got a free iced drink with lunch. Nice meal on a cold day.“

“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.“
