“There’s a reason Haidilao has become so successful around the world. Even after establishing itself as a leader in the hot pot industry, they never seem to stop innovating. Every time I visit, there’s something new.

But what truly sets Haidilao apart from everyone else is the level of service. And it’s not something that can simply be described as “professional” or “friendly.” There’s a unique culture here that makes you feel like you’re coming home when you walk through the door — happy, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. Many restaurants can provide high-quality, professional service. But that feeling of being completely embraced by a warm, joyful atmosphere, and being genuinely looked after, is something I’ve only experienced at Haidilao.

Over time, I’ve come to remember the names of many of the staff here. But two people I especially want to remember and thank are the managers, Kid and Vivian.

I’ve seen them handle the restaurant under intense pressure and keep everything running efficiently and smoothly. I’ve also seen how they respond when unexpected problems arise — staying calm and flexible, communicating clearly, and finding ways to resolve the situation. They have an excellent eye for detail, strong judgment, and the ability to make good decisions in challenging moments.

And a special thank-you to Kid. To us, you’ve become much more than a restaurant manager — you feel like family. We’ll keep coming back, again and again. And I genuinely recommend that everyone experience Haidilao for themselves — not only for the food, but for the unique culture and warmth that make this restaurant truly one of a kind.“

“Had a great experience at Happy Lamb Hot Pot in Vancouver. The soup base was rich and flavorful, and the meat and vegetables were fresh. The lamb was especially good, with great texture and no strong gamey taste. The restaurant was clean, the service was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was comfortable for eating with friends or family. Portions were generous and the price felt reasonable for the quality. Definitely a solid hot pot spot in Vancouver — I’d come back again.“

“Love the food“

“Great service and delicious food! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The broth was flavorful and everything tasted amazing. I’ll definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place!“

“Very decent hotpot meal. The dipping is the heart of this place. Perfectly flavorful yet not too salty. The price is a bit too high and there is no convenient parking space. The waiters are super helpful and ardent. I recommend lunch 2 people meal. Getting the standard meals is not a good deal.“

“I like the tomato soup with a melted cheese slice🥰🥰🥰, and none spicy satey soup

They also have dry pot (香锅) now, which is such a nice addition. Definitely coming back to try it next next next time! 🥰“

“We’ve been coming here for at least 16 years. I wish I took more photos of this last visit, but we just scarfed all of our delicious food down. Make sure to get the shrimp balls 🦐⚽🏀🥎 Everything is always fresh and the service has always been great from everyone, but especially Victor. He’s the very best! There’s $20 AYCE now, so no excuse not to try Happy Lamb at least once…you’ll definitely be back! The impressive drink vending machine alone is worth a visit 😃“

“Absolutely delicious! The broth was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy. The seafood, vegetables, fish cakes, and noodles were all fresh and generously portioned. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the soup had just the right balance of heat and depth.

The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The portions were generous, and everything was served fresh and hot.

Highly recommend for anyone craving a hearty and satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍲🔥😋“

“We had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and the ice cream was amazing too! Everything was great, but what really made our visit special was the outstanding service from Ethan.

He was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and amazing with my two very energetic little kids! 😂 They couldn’t sit still for long, but Ethan noticed right away and kindly brought them some toys to keep them entertained. It made such a big difference and allowed us to enjoy our meal much more comfortably.

It’s the little things like this that make a restaurant stand out. Ethan went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and we truly appreciated his kindness and attentiveness.

Thank you, Ethan, for making our family visit so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place for the delicious food, amazing ice cream, and excellent service!!!“

“My favourite hotpot restaurant :) I love the individual hot pot idea and all the ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Always have an amazing experience here“

“This is my favourite hotpot place to go to, I crave it almost every single week! My parents have been going here since my oldest sister was born and have been taking me since I was a kid, this place is truly amazing and will forever be my favourite comfort meal spot in vancouver. Staff are very kind and I have never had a bad interaction here. Highly recommend the kimchi hot pot which is my go to!“

“Had a great experience at Gokudo Shabu Shabu. The restaurant was clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The broth was flavorful and the ingredients were very fresh. The premium beef had beautiful marbling and was tender after just a few seconds in the hot pot. The vegetable platter was generous and everything tasted fresh. The dipping sauces were delicious, and the drinks paired perfectly with the meal.

The quality of the food, presentation, and service really stood out. Everything was well prepared, and the overall experience was enjoyable from start to finish. I would definitely come back and highly recommend Gokudo Shabu Shabu to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic hot pot experience.“

“great service and good was spectacular“

“First time, wasn’t horrible, wont ever eat Beef Tongue.. not my thing… Very helpful staff, they did help me choose what to try. Chicken wings are delicious.. and it’s the entire wing :) I wouldn’t eat here again, but that’s cause I wasn’t a fan of the items… try it out :)“

“Great“

“Great value proposition in Taiwanese fried chicken. The crunch was good and it was generously seasoned. The serving size (I got a regular) is absolutely a monster for one person. I recommend sharing with at least two or more people. Despite the scale of fried chicken, I didn’t feel greasy after finishing it.

Cash only. There is an ATM at the lottery convenience at the other end of the mall. You are given a pager that vibrates and rings once your food is ready. Seating can be difficult at peak times since there’s other food spots in the cafeteria.“

“One of my favourite place to eat. Food is delicious.“

“I am from Thailand, yesterday is my first time to try Big Way hot pot , With Tom Yum soup Oh, very yummy and convenient To eat , Just choose vegetables and meat What I want , then just waiting to enjoy Soup 😍 I love that Highly recommend 😁“

“This is one of the best AYCE hot pot establishments I've ever been to!!! The quality and the flavour of the hot pot ingredients, chicken bone broth, and snacks are off the charts, and so are the popsicles given after meals, not to mention that we can get amazing beverages infinitely if we want unless they're out of supply!!! Because of this, I hope to go there again someday“

“Oz os a good place, good food.“

“Came for the 9pm happy hour deal and we had the all you can drink too. Decent selection of items for hot pot and ready-to-eat foods however, there are places with a larger selection at a similar price or cheaper. Still a great place though!
The staff were great although a bit hard to get the attention of sometimes.
Would come again! :)“

“Iconic Chinese fine dining restaurant in Vancouver. Famous for their fresh and luxury ingredients, like wagyu beef or seafood. It is the Chinese vision of lux steak house, you go there because the steak worth the $$$$. Avg/person can easily go to 200+“

“Good, cozy, and clean would come back.

Ordered gamjatang hotpot. Very generous amount of meat, veggies and ricecake.

Love the side dishes and staff are nice to ask if we wanted refills on them. Overall, really good meal and good value.“

“A sleeper hit as far as we're concerned. The epinymous noodles are very satisfying - authenticity not withstanding as we are unqualified to judge. Options for the spice-averse are limited, though the ye bin noodles are consistently crunchy and refreshing. We get them with fried egg and a side of blanched leafy greens.

Our only complaint is that the style and volume of the music is often giving karaoke club. There's just no good reason for me to have to raise my voice in a restaurant with only 1 or 2 other patrons present.

Way better to eat in than have delivered.“

“In my opinion, the best hotpot all you can eat location in Burnaby and beyond, their service is top notch especially Zack, and rest of the crew🌟🤍, the quality of food is unmatched and the price for value ratio is unimaginable.

I highly recommend!!“

“Maple’s service was amazing! She was very kind, helpful, and professional throughout the whole experience. She made everything easy and comfortable, and I really appreciated how friendly and welcoming she was. I’m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend her to others!“

“This place for sure deserve another five star review, I found this place the other night with my wife, first of all staff a super friendly, we got free soup to begin with, follow with the chicken dish, fish dish and a pork dish. All are super tasty and well done never dry and overcooked like many others does. Dessert very good too not too sweet. I enjoy very much and I will come back again for sure. Next time I visit Vancouver.“

“Nice place to go for brunch or lunch with your friends. The portions are huge, and the food definitely didn’t disappoint! But the best part of this restaurant is the ahjumma (Korean auntie), who is super friendly. She always checks in and asks for our feedback on the food, which makes the experience feel even more welcoming.“

“Authentic Cantonese restaurant with flavorful, delicious dishes and great complimentary starter soup and dessert porridge. It has a lively, bustling atmosphere and large tables for groups. Keep in mind that it’s CASH ONLY, and parking can be tricky during peak hours, but overall a great spot for authentic Cantonese cuisine!“

“We went on a Thursday for lunch, wasn’t too crowded, the seatings were very spacious, and the staff were nice👍🏻 We got the Pork Stomach with Pepper Soup and the Chicken Wings with Salted Egg Yolk. It was my first time having these two dishes and they were both out of the world😮 The staff came at the right timings to add soup for us, but weren’t like some over-friendly people I’ve encountered before that come every 2 minutes asking you how everything was🤣 Too bad I don’t live in Vancouver, otherwise this would be a place that I want to go to often😩“

“Boiling Point is always so satisfying, and this place is no exception! I love their beef and Korean bean paste soups. Their lunch deal is great too with the free drinks. This location is also very clean and the staff are great. I recommend checking out their unlimited meat deal when they have it every so often.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Lucky Fortune Seafood Restaurant on Granville Street! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, comfortable, and perfect for enjoying a meal with family and friends. The restaurant has a great traditional Chinese dining atmosphere, and the service made the experience even more enjoyable.

The food was absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered came out fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. The seafood dishes were especially impressive, with great quality and generous portions that were perfect for sharing. Each dish had its own unique flavours, and you could really tell that care was put into the preparation. The food arrived at a good pace, and everything was served hot and fresh.

One thing I really appreciated was how attentive and friendly the staff were. They were welcoming, efficient, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service remained organized and pleasant, which made the entire dining experience feel smooth and enjoyable.

Lucky Fortune Seafood Restaurant is definitely a great place to come for family dinners, celebrations, or simply when you’re craving delicious Chinese food and seafood. The portions are generous, the food is satisfying, and the overall atmosphere makes it a comfortable place to sit down and enjoy a nice meal. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and flavourful Chinese cuisine in Vancouver. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“Golden Swan Restaurant, a long‑established Cantonese restaurant in Vancouver, is highly recommended! It offers traditional cart‑style dim sum with a wide variety of dishes. The har gow, siu mai and chicken feet are authentic‑tasting, with generous portions and great value for money.
The spacious dining hall is perfect for family gatherings and friends’ get‑togethers. There are also banquet halls available for events and banquets. On‑site parking is convenient. It gets very busy on weekends, so advance reservation is advised. The staff are efficient and the food quality is consistent. It is a beloved local Cantonese eatery frequented by Chinese residents, and I will definitely come back！“

“Been going here for decades, usually take out. Hadn't been here in a while. Had a dine in experience that reminded me how great the food here really is.

Yeah it's not inexpensive, but the value is definitely there. Dine in portions seem more generous than take out, so that's a bonus. Plus, freshly prepared makes a huge difference. I forgot that.

I can give you a long list of terrible Chinese restaurants, but only a short list of places I would send a friend. I highly recommend Burnaby Palace, it's definitely one of the good ones. Enjoy!“

“Very wonderful place. Lovely meats. Great desserts. Best BBT you’ll find in Van. Very cool!“

“Pretty solid Taiwanese hot pot place. Broth tastes fresh, veggies look like they were chopped same day, and the meat slices come out nicely arranged, not frozen bricks. Lots of options for add-ons, so it’s easy to tweak your pot. Staff is chill, service pace felt okay, works for me.“
