Restaurants in Vancouver

“Went for the Lunar New Year dinner. The food was amazing. The staff was even better. The New Moon cocktail was incredible.”

“Love the space, the food was incredible, drinks amazing…service…was very attentive and professional…I did feel at times like I was just expected to take the chef’s menu or what the waiter recommended, but it may have been a subtle misinterpretation on my part:)”

“If you are like me and growing up in a household with “traditional, slow cooked, 12 hours on the stove” kinda’ dishes were just another regular Tuesday night dinner, you know those flavours and dishes are almost impossible to find elsewhere. La Tana has managed to create the same flavours, dishes and love that I remember so dearly sharing with my family around the table. Thank you La Tana”

“We had a great time and really enjoyed the food. The staff is very friendly and elegant. We particularly appreciated the service and special efforts by our server William.”

“Folke serves wonderful vegan dining that can be enjoyed by anyone. We've never had a bad dish here and highly recommend it!”

“It is superb! Great link between front of the house, our server + Rev, and the kitchen. Fabulous good, atmosphere and wine. Will be back soon. 🥂”

“Food is absolutely amazing and tasty however very pricey for their small portions, especially the green curry halibut. My additional take out order, My husband thought it was small leftover and not a new order. Great service!”

“Botanist exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant felt like an urban oasis, with beautiful greenery, elegant décor, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made the entire experience feel special.

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully plated, and packed with flavor. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and each plate felt like a work of art. The steak was perfectly cooked, the brunch selections were rich and satisfying, and the desserts were both creative and delicious. It’s rare to find a restaurant where the presentation matches the quality of the food, but Botanist delivers on both.

The service was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. You can tell that a great deal of care goes into every aspect of the dining experience.

If you’re looking for a memorable meal in Vancouver, whether for brunch, dinner, or a special occasion, Botanist is absolutely worth a visit. Beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and an experience that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.

Highly recommended.”

“Absolutely loved our night at the Keefer Bar! Our bartender was lovely, the cocktails were fantastic and we loved the food too! Highly recommend!”

“Very cozy restaurant, I highly recommend the Bigoli Nero - the best tasting seafood pasta I've ever had. The staff provided friendly and excellent service too.”

“Oh my… this was quite an experience! When going there, letyourself be surprised by the Chef’s Menu (Menu dégustation in french). Surprise after surprise, it will make you live a real culinary experience! And our waiter (fluently bilingual) was excellent and vey passionate! Along with the lady who brought each plate and explained to us what they were. And finally the manager, I believe, who came over a few times to talk about the plates, the wine and how the pasta were made the same day, very early in the morning The wine suggestion was also perfect! Finally, the décor is not at all what you would expect, from looking at the menu on the web-site; very fresh, young, modern, yet very warm decor! Please go and try this place. I will definitely be back when travelling to Vancouver. Merciiii!”

“Delightful dining experience!”

“We sat and our waiter brought dishes. An excellent experience. A tad loud as there are lots of tables in a small space. Cocktails listed were numerous - ok on the taste. Overall, recommend!”

“Excellent food 🩷 Excellent stuff ❤️”

“We arrived without a reservation, the staff was very friendly and helpful, it was a great surprise that is mainly chicken broth, is was very tasty and not too heavy, the place has a great vibe and we enjoyed our dinner!”

“LOVE!
Had the daily lunch set, OUT OF THIS WORLD & bluefin chutoro
The torched flounder fin from the lunch set was absolutely melt in your mouth
Bluefin...no words can describe”

“We had dinner at Blue Water Cafe last night, and our server, Jared, was absolutely outstanding. He was incredibly attentive throughout the entire evening and possessed a deep knowledge of the menu, explaining the dishes with great detail. His drink recommendations were also spot on and enhanced our meal perfectly. What impressed us the most was his impeccable pacing; he managed to attend to every single table with absolute precision, without ever making anyone feel rushed. Jared balances warmth and professionalism beautifully, and he was truly a key figure in making our evening a memorable success. A huge thank you to Jared and the entire team for an unforgettable night. Jared went above and beyond any service experience I’ve had in the city. Highly recommended!”

“Every grain of rice, every slice of fish contains the weight of their dedication and respect to the food and culture.

It was an edible performance!

We tried their lunch menu first and It was such a wonderful experience.

We will definitely return for the dinner course!

Michelin well deserved!”

“Overall experience here was great! The food was super fresh, customer service was on point as expected and the atmosphere was incredibly lively. There’s so much happening here which can get a bit overwhelming, especially with all of the clashing sounds. You’ve got the main music, birthday celebrations with tambourines and the hand pulled noodle guy that walks around with his own speaker! On top of that, it’s also incredibly busy. The only thing that genuinely made my table uncomfortable was the noodle guy. He came to our table and hit our friend in the face and head with the noodle multiple times. At first it was funny, but as it kept going we got increasingly more uncomfortable. He hit all 3 of us in the faces and the entire experience made us feel really weird. Other than that, everything else was great. The waiting area is super spacious and they have lots to do to keep you distracted and busy while you wait!”

“Finally got here. Nothing but good things. Place was swamped. Still got seated within 15 minutes. Staff were friendly and on top of it all! Food came fast, hot, and delicious. Definitely be back and highly recommend.”

“We had such a wonderful experience on March 17, 2026 at Miku Japanese Restaurant at River Rock Hotel. From the moment we arrived, the service was truly top-notch—the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and made us feel genuinely cared for. What really stood out was their thoughtfulness and attentiveness. As soon as they noticed that one of our friends was wearing a veil and the rest of us had our Team Bride sashes on, they kindly arranged a private dining room for us. It made the celebration feel even more special and intimate. The ambience was also fantastic—cool, relaxing, and enhanced by a great selection of music. The warm, Japanese-style décor added a beautiful and authentic touch to the overall dining experience. We also appreciated the complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, especially since we had decided not to drink before going swimming. It was such a considerate gesture that didn’t go unnoticed. And of course, the food was amazing—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience with exceptional service, thoughtful touches, and incredible food. Highly recommended for special occasions!”

“I have eaten at other Michelin restaurants before and this is my top. By far the best service, best food, everything is exemplary.”

“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!”

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering”

“Enjoyed the experience and friendly conversations with the severs.”

“The hostesses at the front are vibrant and charming. They offer a complimentary glass of champagne to sip while you’re waiting. If you don’t imbibe, they will accommodate your soft drink request. We were seated at a table on the patio which is very close to the street. So if you choose to sit on the patio, There will be city sounds which, apart from the occasional siren, quickly dissolves into the artful landscaping. Raven, our server, was friendly and cheerful, in addition to being appropriately attentive. We started with the mini steak French dips. Expertly seasoned and grilled, new york steak strips over a button of gruyere cheese atop a tiny slice of sourdough garlic bread with a side of au jus. These were quite more-ish. I recommend them. My husband enjoyed the Mediterranean salad and I liked my seared ahi tuna salad very much. The tuna is sliced thicker than carpaccio but thinner than sushi and gently seared. The plating was elegant and the salad finely chopped with bits of mango and shaved avocado on the top.. I tasted a bit of mint leaf and the light dressing was truly perfect. The staff pay attention to the guests and, when your server is busy, they make themselves available for your needs. It appears the staff members enjoy each other’s company as well as their jobs. I observed real teamwork throughout. We had the apple pie for dessert. On its own it is delicious with a caramel apple filling and it’s flaky , buttery and crunchy crus. It can easily be shared by three people and would have been enough. But do’gild the lily’ by adding the Canadian maple ice cream. We felt comfortable and satisfied. We were pleased with every bite and the Joey Burrard experience from start to finish. We will definitely go back and try some other offerings. Go and have fun. And talk to the very friendly staff who are so willing to engage.”

“Really good waffles and really good lattes”

“We were over visiting our son and had a wonderful meal with great service and very reasonably priced”

“Shayla, our server, was absolutely amazing! She explained the menu thoroughly and made excellent recommendations that we were glad to try. The entire experience was exceptional, and the food was perfect from start to finish.We had the red wine braised short rib of beef from Double R Ranch — it melted in my mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We started with the scallops and smoked bison tartare, both of which were outstanding.For other mains, we enjoyed the wood grilled lamb, the Hank tenderloin steak, the Wagyu beef picanha from Brant Lake Farm in Alberta, Blue Dot Beef in Prince Edward Island striploin (10 oz). They were all amazing. The Blue Dot had incredible flavor — juicy, tender, and hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. Every steak was beautifully cooked and packed with flavor.We finished the evening with trying ALL THE DESSERTS! The baked Alaska was beautiful and delicious! The ice cream trio was so creamy and rich. The creme brûlée was smooth and dreamy. The chocolate cake was moist and perfectly matched with the passionfruit sauce. The fam favorite was definitely the cheesecake… we were all wanting it! Perfect flavor not too sweet and very smooth. Blackberries were a perfect match. We also had the donuts.. don’t forget about those. Im still dreaming of them. Highly recommend — a truly unforgettable meal!”

“We had the Spaghetti Meatballs & Cherry Coke Ribs. The Spaghetti, eh, honestly, you could do better, forget the pasta at the pasta place lol. Those cherry coke ribs were so unbelievably good, and the side of Lemon Pepper Grilled Brussel Sprouts. OMG I would come here just for that. We finished off the night with a Tiramisu, and it didn't dissappoint. We will definitely be back. The only negative/ complaint if that, I notice a lot of people recommend it as a date spot, if you want to chat, dont bother, the place is so friggin loud lol”

“Last time I went to the one on Davie st. in Vancouver I was so disappointed. This morning my husband convinced me to go there again, this time it was really good. our server May was freaking amazing and keep tabs on everyone in her section, our food came quickly and the overall experience this time was very pleasant! Ask to be in May's section when u go here!”

“great food and great service, very friendly”

“Pizza was really freshly made and really delecious the guy in front was very kind really liked the crispy and fresh pizza and (HAPPY) the staff guy was really impressive and had good suggestions wow wow wow today it was brijesh he is a gem person wow such a good service and pizza was really good like really unbelievable wow brijesh made my experience here so good this place never disappoints . I love to be here . And now more because of brijesh service and his excellence cooking pizza skill .”

“Nice place, great atmosphere, convenient location, open 24 hours - sounds like a complete package right?

A good spot for you to enjoy your hot/cold drink, catch up with your mate, or if you just want to grab a bite. Definitely worth recommending!”

“I visited here late at night to grab a chicken burger, and honestly it was such a good experience. The food came fresh and hot, and it tasted really nice—exactly what I was craving at that time.I really liked how everything was still so well managed even late at night. You don’t always get that, so it was nice to see.Kiran was really sweet and polite, and the service just felt easy and comfortable.Overall, I left feeling happy. Really appreciate the effort—keep it up!”

“Good food and timely service. Deluckshan is a very good server with a bright personality. Always provides timely updates on food and serves with a great attitude with a smile. Please visit the restaurant at Kingsway Location and Deluckshan will always be the good presenter for his work.”

“Fast and friendly services with good taste and quality food💕”

“It was really good and it was still one girl name as (sahib )managing all by herself really appreciate that .very quick and efficient service and really best than other freshslice .”

“I only eat halal food but honestly if you guys serve halal food every donair shop in Canada will shut down. I’m forced to eat zesty paneer vegetarian wrap or the soya chap veg wrap which is really good because your meat is not halal. My younger brother who does not care abt halal says your chicken tikka wrap is the best wrap he’s had in Canada. Pls consider adding halal options for chicken so people who want halal can eat it.”

“Open 24hrs. Good service.”

“These people give good portions. I like the service provided by Indian girl with specs, I recommend this place”

“I’ve been to just about every Subway in the Lower Mainland. That’s how much I genuinely love Subway. And I can confidently say this is the best location in all of Vancouver.

What makes it special? It’s not just the location, even though I work a minute away. It’s not just the ingredients, since most Subways are pretty consistent. It’s the people.

The staff here work harder than almost anyone I know, and I have friends in some pretty labour-intensive jobs. If Subway had an Olympic sandwich-making team, Aman from this location would be the captain, bringing home gold for Canada.

And here’s where it gets even better. I walk in and I’m greeted with the warmest smile, like I’m a regular at a neighbourhood café instead of a sandwich chain. Most of the time, they already know what I’m about to order.

For the record, it’s a 6” Black Forest ham on Italian herbs and cheese, loaded in a very specific way: lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, green peppers, red onions, pickles, a generous amount of black olives, jalapeños, banana peppers, then finished with mustard, mayo, and some salt and pepper. Yes, it’s a serious sandwich. And somehow, they nail it every single time.

Every sandwich is built with intention. And yes, the order matters. This isn’t random sandwich assembly. This is strategy. This is craftsmanship. This is basically sandwich architecture.

I don’t usually write reviews, but not saying anything about this place feels like a crime. Possibly a federal one.

If you’re anywhere near Yaletown, or honestly anywhere in downtown Vancouver, and you want a sandwich done properly, you have to stop by.

You will not be disappointed.”

“Hey thank you so much for the extraordinarily service provided by your employee Prince . He is so nice and humble. He was so polite and I have a great conversation with him . Thank you for your service prince. Bless you”

“Good to know that this location open 24hrs.”

“I always have a great experience at this Tim Hortons, especially because of Sukh. She is always energetic, supportive, and welcoming every time I visit. She even remembers the items I usually order and reminds me if I forget—such amazing customer service! The service here is always fast and efficient.”

“Long story short, their pasta was the bomb. They make it fresh right in front of you and it’s just an absolute winner. Simple as that. We had pasta in Italy and I would say they are comparable. If you’re a big pasta person, this place is definitely for you. That being said, the almond semifreddo dessert was not disappointing as well. As far as service goes, I appreciate that they don’t come up to you every 2 minutes to ask “how’s the first few bites?” yet all the servers are still friendly and attentive throughout. For me, it doesn’t get any better than that. Let me eat my food and if I need something, I’ll let you know. Important to note: if you’re coming on a Saturday, be sure to be there by 4- 4:10pm to make sure you get seated. The line gets really long shortly thereafter. A restaurant with a long line outside will always draw more attention than the empty ones, very clever 😉 So make sure you go early…. And enjoy!”

“My wife tried Mr. Shawarma on Robson last night and after she offered me a bite I had to go back and order one for myself - so good! As well, the personal touch and friendly vibe of the chef and team made my whole trip downtown feel worth it. I will build a trip to Mr. Shawarma into my downtown trips from now on!”

“We have lunched and dinned here for decades, through changes and renovations.
The service attained and maintained a consistent level of efficiency and courtesy for the last 2 decades.
We enjoy the dim sums which are always delicate, light but flavourful.
For dinner, some spectacular dishes require pre-orders. We always enjoyed the braised duck on a bed of savoury mixed mushroom (forgot the proper name of the dish), and many more.”

“The BEST GF Halibut I have ever tasted!!!! You can order DF and GF options here. Fish was top notch, fries were great, not short on ketchup, and good tartar sauce. Great atmosphere as well!! I believe they take pride in the food they serve at The Fish Counter Main Street!!! Come and try them out.... We'd DEFINITELY go back for more!!”

“Found this amazing restaurant on Davie street across from the Sandman. Tasty amazing vegan dishes at an incredibly reasonable price!!! 10/10 We will be back!”

“Paklava is to die for!!!!!!!”

“Nothing beats The Magnet. A great atmosphere and delicious food to pair with an unmatched beer list of BC’s finest. Top notch service and some quirky decor make this a 10/10 dining and drinking experience.”

“Friendly & Cozy atmosphere, great comfort food!”

“Absolutely love this place. One of my go to spots! We had the Spicy Boat Noodles and the Hot and Sour Pork Noodles and they were both amazing. I think my favourite was the Hot and Sour one tho because it has a tanginess that’s just so unique and refreshing. I can’t recommend this place enough. It does have limited seating and it gets quite busy so just be prepared.”

“I love them! It is an amazing food served by the friendly and funny handsome guys.
For the vibe, what would you expect from a joint on Granville street downtown? That's exactly what you get”

“Best Happy Hour in downtown. Absolutely delicious menu and a very nice location, staff, environment.”

“We had a stellar experience at this venue yesterday. The service was up to par and the menu was amazing. I can't say I have any complaints at all!”

“One of the very best Japanese restaurants in the city. Reasonable prices and home style Japanese food. Worth the wait. Come early.”

“Over many years of meals and events, I recently discovered Hawksworth's Cocktail Hour in its cozy lounge. Every seat in the room is a comfy one, though I favour saddling up to the bar. You will always find a cocktail or wine to your liking. We usually order near everything from the food menu. Sometimes wagyu, currently prosciutto, always oysters. Main reason I keep coming back is the people. Service in this space never disappoints. I have favourites, of course. You know who you are...”

“one of the best burgers I've ever had. the bannock was excellent too”

“Thank you Lisa and Philip. The dining experience is more than food, and even though our steaks were cooked to perfection (huge shout out to the chefs on that porterhouse) your service made the experience one that we will remember. Thank you.”

“We purchased our lunch today at the food truck near the Art Gallery. MRZO. Friendly service. Easy to read menu. The food was absolutely delicious. Glad we stopped by today.”

“All i have to say is WOW. This new spot is clean, simple and the staff is SO wonderful!! It’s been a while since i’ve had this good of service. I got the pleasure of meeting the owner and he was sooo sweet and genuine. Now for the food, delicious!! One of the best smash patties i’ve had—the skirt of the beef was so crispy and flavorful. Paired perfectly with the mayo and cheese in my burger. They even gave me a free cookie - which was also delicious.

So so impressed!! i will be back!”

“Excellent place with great service. It was my first time there, so I asked the cashier for recommendations. She was very friendly, attentive, and helped me choose. The Bahar bread was delicious!”

“My daughter took me here for Mother’s Day. We had an absolutely fantastic experience here at the Mackenzie Room! Each dish presented during the seven course meal was delightfully creative, artistic and delicious. I enjoyed every bite of all dishes. The portions are quite generous for a restaurant at this caliber, so I recommend you come with an empty stomach. The vibe here is a bit of tasteful luxury steampunk look mixed with trendy west coast style. Loved the ambient music! The servers were professional, knowledgeable and friendly making the overall experience fabulous and fun, making every penny and second worthwhile. Parking was easy on the paid street parking. Will be back hopefully soon.”

“If Indian cuisine is your thing stop in at 6482 Victoria Drive Vancouver. Outstanding tastes and textures. A delightful family will prepare you food that you will leave you wanting to write a review. Their spiced "hot" dishes were outrageous last evening. My group is returning again tonight to enjoy some other dishes. The potions will fill you comfortably. You will leave well served, and thankful for your visit. The price point is so reasonable. If you are as fortunate as we were you will find a parking spot right in front of Nirvana!”

“Great service. Great Food. My go to place for Thai food!”

“Staffs are very nice.. excellent customer service. Ms Milani Nidoy is very accommodating”

“Freshslice Pizza never disappoints! The pizza is always fresh and delicious, and the staff are consistently kind and friendly. Such a great spot when you’re craving a good slice (or a full pizza) 🍕”

“Picked up staff lunch today...generous portions! Delicious and fresh! Highly recommend this Granville Street eatery!”

“Good pizza 🍕 great experience 😊”

“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely be back”

“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍”

“Delicious food. I’ve ordered from there 3 times and I always get the curry laska. I think about that soup/pho all the time! The garlic bok Choi is delicious. The vinegar garlic sauce as an add on, adds depth and even more flavour.”

“One of our favourite places to go for pizza - always delicious and the atmosphere is lively and fun 🤩”

“I had an incredible experience here last Friday! My friends hosted a surprise bridal shower for me in the private dining room. The staff were thoughtful and helpful with the setup, allowing my them to come in early to decorate the space. They also did a flawless job with executing the surprise by pretending to bring me to a table first. The server was fun, warm and attentive throughout the night and I feel terrible that I’m forgetting her name! All the food was delicious, which has been the case every time I’ve been to Boulevard.”

“A perfect anniversary dinner!
The warm, sophisticated atmosphere set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Both the service and the cuisine were absolutely world-class. It was the perfect finale to my 4 years of living in Vancouver. I truly hope to come back someday!”

“My wife and I go to Five Sails every year for our wedding anniversary because we've never been disappointed or dissatisfied here. Even though it appears there has been an overhaul since the last time we came, they didn't fail to impress. The staff were personable, informative, and the food was phenomenal.”

“Incredible food!!!! Husband and I enjoyed the premiere Omakase meal and it was unreal and unforgettable! Every bite was delicious but it was so cool to watch the chef prepare each piece of fish. It was quiet and delicate and very clear the care and effort required for this meal. We’re from out of town but this was such a great find and experience for us!!”

“Though it's only Jan, quite sure this will be one of the best dining experiences of the year, if not the top. Everyone and everything was perfect from the time we sat down till our departure. Great people, food, and space. Easily one of the nicest rooms in Van... And that wine cellar! Thanks Carl et al”

“Great quality selection across their Miyazaki and A5 wagyu, and that's to say nothing of their seafood creations & ochasuke (neither is any to scoff at)”

“I was just here on may 5th 2024. this was the first time having a5 wagyu and it did not disappoint. the service was top notch the food was amazing. I will be back. please put the tomato bisque soup on the everyday menu.”

“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.”

“Excellent dining experience. High quality fish and service. I had the omakase dinner and the variety of dishes and sushi was very good! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner Tetsu Sushi Bar!”

“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!”

“Wonderful, attentive, and friendly service. The portions are perfectly sized. Not too much but not too little. Pricing, while note cheap, is extremely reasonable for the quality of the food that you're getting. A wonderful gem hidden in Kits. I highly recommend this to anyone. My bet is that you'll be left wanting to come back again.”

“Superb service & fantastic food!👍”

“Incredible Italian food! Check them out! You won't be disappointed. 😘”

“This little place with special touch ,with explosion of taste and so friendly atmosphere and service and food could do better .very good team .Bravo chef . Sorry forgot to take a picture i was so exciting......”

“I was getting so tired of having only burgers and pizza during my trip to Canada, and this place was an absolute lifesaver!

I ordered the Pad Thai and Green Curry, and both were incredibly delicious. The portions were huge, and the prices were very reasonable.

***A special shoutout to Peter, our Korean server. Thanks to him, we had such a fun and comfortable dining experience. Thank you so much!”

“Hi there I normally don’t do this but the warm welcome and love and great service I got from Christine was over the top!!!
I was really happy to be there just made my day! ♥️”

“The photo attached is the 2nd plate of food. Why the 2nd plate of food you might ask?

The first dish I had, the teriyaki chicken, was so good I ended up devouring it. Didn't have time for a photo. I had to get another plate of something so I got a beef dish, Also a phenomenal dish. Both dishes took me by surprise on the flavours and generous portions they give out.

You kinda feel at home in there. The cooking feels like home cooking. The people are pleasant and welcoming.”

“First time trying Happy Lemon in Vancouver and I totally understand why it’s so popular! 🍋
The store was cute, the staff were friendly, and I loved that I could customize the sugar and ice level. The drink was refreshing and delicious. Definitely coming back again 😊”

“Wow. We have sampled many Ramen places but this one was absolutely amazing.
First, the vibe was strongly cultural/authentic, but with a modern/rustic decor and chill Asian music. Second, the waiter promptly brought up a carafe of cold water and two glasses. This amenity is always important to me because it indicates both thoughtfulness and efficiency.
I always visit the washroom first to give the cleanliness of a place and this one was squeaky clean. I had to pass by the kitchen to get there, and got a chance to see how sparkling and spotless the kitchen was, stovetop and all.
We were soon served the dishes we chose. Do not skip the appetizers here! The potstickers were the best I've ever had anywhere!
Finally, so was the Ramen. Incredibly flavorful broth, creamy and savory without being too salty as I often find it to be in DFW. The noodles were just right, and the extra soft boiled egg was worth the small upcharge, as they are marinated.
Two thumbs up for this place. I should mention the waiter was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was a memorable part of our trip to Vancouver!!”

“Great food, warm friendly service. What else can you ask for? And value for cost? Outstanding!!”

“Dont underestimate this place…authentic indian taste…we tried gol gappe bhalla chaat papri and noodle tikki burger ..its so so good…place is so neat and clean..viberant….100% satisfying food..much recommended”

“I would get the volcano roll again. Came with a small spicy sashimi salad instead of chopped on top of the roll which was nice. Wouldn’t do the nigiri set although it’s fine and decent value. Takoyaki was good. Basic roll like Cali, dynamite and yam were to expectation.”

“The food is great! We live 2 mins away and always pass by the store.

The owner is super friendly! I just experienced one rude staff. I placed my order online, called the store to ask if my order was ready for pick up. She rudely said “I think its ready, you can come now” and just hanged up the phone, no thank you or anything. Kind of disappointing :(”

“Genuinely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a very long time. service was friendly, attentive, and well-paced. Every dish was delicious. Cannot possibly say enough good things.”

“Delicious pizza! Has Veggie options too. We buy every Tuesday lunch it’s cost only 1.95 :)”

“Great almond milk latte & delish cinnamon buns. Owners -Pete & Gillian are lovely to chat with.”

“To Live For is worth driving from another country to visit! I live in the US, but make the drive frequently to enjoy their incredible baked goods, both sweet and savory. It is such a welcoming environment with incredible staff too. Highly recommend if you are anywhere near East Vancouver!”

“I come here most morning for coffee and I feel like I’ve entered into my own home❤️ A friendly place with community vibes!”

“Great little spot for tacos and other snacks. Will have to say their mushroom taco is one of the best soft shell tacos I’ve ever had. So good I had to go for seconds.. Will be coming back for sure!”

“What an awesome and amazing place! I ordered a Neopolitan cake for my Mom's 91st birthday and it was so yummy! She thought it was ice cream. The staff and owners are lovely. From start to finish, everything was a piece of cake. (Thank you so much.)”

“This little place with special touch ,with explosion of taste and so friendly atmosphere and service and food could do better .very good team .Bravo chef . Sorry forgot to take a picture i was so exciting......”

“I love this place and I believe in supporting small family run businesses! This place is welcoming , comfortable and the brother sister duo is pleasant to see! These 2 make great coffee and serve simple fresh everyday dishes. When you need something on the run or want to chill and enjoy the crazy atmosphere and conversations on the drive, this is your place. I enjoy that everyone knows everyone like a Cheers vibe! These days people are so reserved and quiet and this place everyone talks openly and you get to just be yourself, no place like it! Thanks for being a part of pour community!”

“What a cool place! Loved spending time with the kitties and trying the menu”

“Randomly came upon The Brighton, walked in and immediately felt a New Orleans vibe which was delightful. A good ole dive bar feeling where one can relax and be yourself. The staff were amazing, specifically Hubert who provided a laid-back vibe and very good conversation while I sat at the bar. Hubert was working hard pouring drinks and making Nachos for a growing mix of ppl coming from the Lamb of God concert. The 2 girls waiting on customers were also pleasant and down to earth. The music was an eclectic mix of old school rock all the way to the 80’s, 90’s and current metal. Loved it! The place was open late with No Pressure to get during last call. If you’re in Vancouver go, see Hubert at The Brighton before or after a concert at the Coliseum, or a drink to sit back and look at all the awesome memorabilia on the walls.”

“Good to know that this location open 24hrs.”

“This was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, the owner was hilarious and made fantastic jokes throughout the meal, he served us food and told stories that were fantastic. The environment is very wholesome and pure and every employee is rushing and working extremely hard to serve amazing food that is not only the best crepes I’ve ever had but at a really reasonable price. If you’re in the area and have an appetite for even a snack, you definitely should go here for a drinks dm crepe”

“I meet family once a week for a lunch at Sushiville. The lunch combo boxes find that sweet spot between great food and excellent value, making Sushiville a hard to beat proposition on the Drive.”

“Novamente no Osuchi, e repetimos a experiência e expressamos o bom atendimento com Isabela Yui e Alek, que nos trataram com velhos amigos Sugerindo especialidades da casa , degustada com toda satisfação. Recomendo e voltarei, pois tenho uma estadia de 30 dias em Vancouver e voltarei muitas vezes, parabéns a equipe atenciosa.”

“Hands down the best calamari in town! Great Social October deals. Well worth the visit.”

“Extremely well organized operation. There was quite a line-up of people upon our arrival but in no time all these people were served. Qualityof food was excellent! Well done !”

“Great place to order always fresh food.Walk-in variety of slices options.”

“My first visit today following recommendations from 2 friends and it was a great experience. Friendly staff and totally delicious bread for my prosciutto and brie sandwich and truly excellent coffee in my cappuccino. Will certainly be visiting again. when i am in he area and all best wishes to the owners and staff for this gem to thrive.”

“Ate there today (first time)-it was busy and not surprising as the quality is excellent and one of the few places where the chips are crispy and not soggy like most places. My only suggestion is that they pile too many chips in the basket & I couldn't finish all of them !”

“We had my mother's 80th celebration catered by Eat Heritage, looking for a Chinese traditional feast-type ambience, and the food didn't disappoint. Everybody had favourites, but the duck went especially quickly, and the kids dug into the fully loaded fried rice and veggie spring rolls. Me, I was all about the black sesame balls which people appreciated despite having to eat them as dessert when they were already stuffed. We had a nice mix of vegetarian and meatlover dishes with leftovers divvied up after the celebration. Completely happy with the catering service!”

“One of the best restuarants I've ever been to in my life💜 I think about it all the time 😆”

“I ordered their teriyaki chicken l and I got a generous serve of chicken, veggies and rice. Taste was good. It’s not overly sweet like some other restaurants. The staff (or owners) were quite friendly and welcoming.”

“Good food and timely service. Deluckshan is a very good server with a bright personality. Always provides timely updates on food and serves with a great attitude with a smile. Please visit the restaurant at Kingsway Location and Deluckshan will always be the good presenter for his work.”

“Great place before a concert!”

“I've been to many Pakistani restaurants but Karakoram Restaurant stands out for its authentic flavors and generous portions. The karahi was spicy and savory, and the basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant. The staff were friendly and attentive and the prices were very reasonable. I'll be back for more of their delicious dishes!”

“Great selection of beers, and our server was really excellent - remembered our round even though it was busy. We only had some yam fries not a full meal, but they were tasty. Perfect place for a beer after the Vancouver marathon!”

“Josh at the bar had some great skills. My ribeye was AMAZING!!!”

“Delicious, beautifully presented dishes and desserts. The staff were all super friendly, and the restaurant was clean and visually appealing. I will definitely be back!”

“First time in Canada. Checked out a couple of bars while in Toronto. CRAFT in Toronto was the one for me. Great vibe. Very mellow. Huge variety of Canadian beers which I found to be more flavorful than American beers. Unbeatable service and hospitality from the manager to the hostess and everyone in between. The two nights I spent there were without a doubt the most pleasant bar experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks a lot for making my stay in Toronto the best it could be.”

“Having our wedding reception at Dockside was unbelievably amazing. Our first meeting with the staff made us feel so comfortable and they listened to our wishes and budget. The staff is so professional and helped us pull off a wedding reception with about 2 months notice. All the guests said that they were blown away by the service at the reception and the food was excellent. I would definitely host another event here or come in for a regular meal. I cannot say enough good things about Dockside, they made our wedding so memorable. Having looked at other venues and locations for our reception, I think Dockside provides unbeatable value and a really unique experience.”

“My Daughter and I Grace Burnett Had the best dinner here!! Always great friendly Atmosphere!! Defiantly Recommended!!!”

“If you are in Vancouver and want an amazing dining experience, we highly recommend Lift Bar and Grill. We dined here for supper on June 3, 2023, and absolutely loved the atmosphere as well as the food! Waterfront dining (they provide indoor/outdoor and roof top dining), with the water and mountain views was spectacular as we watched the sunset on the water. Our server Sean was very pleasant and courteous and made our time there very enjoyable. We started with Caesars and Soughdough Baguette, and then shared a Scallop & Prawns Linguine (we have smaller appetites). Both were absolutely Amazing dishes! The surprise birthday dessert was very much appreciated and delicious! We would say the cost is average for Vancouver restaurant dining. This is not a fast food restaurant, but chef prepared and is reflected in the presentation and taste! We will be back when we visit again!”

“went in for the boxing. sydney was my server and was great.”

“They have the best food and service!!”

“Made feel very welcome by the friendly staff, stylish decor and subdued lighting with seating that was spacious to provide that intimate atmosphere. Menu was extensive and the food was great, particularly loved the treacle sponge 😋 Bar area had TVs and music was playing for those that wanted a more social vibe.”

“Immensely enjoyed our first visit. Excellent food and outstanding service from Peter. He recommended great wine pairings for each course. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Sushi Hyun Omakase is an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we arrived, Chef Hyun greeted us with genuine warmth, telling us that this was his dream restaurant—a space he built from the ground up to share his passion. Throughout the evening, he spoke with reverence about his ingredients, working exclusively with wild fish from Japan, and about the trust he’s built with both his customers and suppliers. Each dish was crafted with precision and care, and his storytelling made every bite even more meaningful. The wine list is equally impressive, thoughtfully curated to complement the menu. Chef Hyun’s dedication shines through in every detail, making this not just a meal but a deeply personal experience. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who values exceptional food and genuine hospitality.”

“Conveniently located in Gastown, this tight space restaurant just wins my heart. Upon seating we were notified about the two-hour dining time. Since it’s our first time, the server briefly went over the menu in quite a fast pace - we definitely feel the pressure to speed up the order and dinning experience. This is the least favourite part of the entire evening. Exceptional food - the beef tongue cold appetizer is delightfully pleasant and tasty. The premium sashimi platter is plentiful with various types of sashimi with decent thickness. Totally love it. The bluefin tuna hand roll is good. The beef tongue steak with teriyaki sauce is very juicy, soft, tender and melt in the mouth. We genuinely enjoy the food. Wish the service can be less rushed and it would be the perfect dining experience. Overall, highly recommend.”

“It was a pouring night , and we visited this lovely place for a friend’s gathering. Food was served quickly, staffs are friendly, the restaurant is busy but the vibe is good.
We enjoyed food with friends . Would def recommend:)”

“Glad I was able to find Sapporo Soup Curry in Vancouver again! Fun decorations and set-up that almost feels like I'm in Okinawa. I would recommend this place for drinks and small bites, but the price can definitely add up.”

“Clean place with friendly staff and a tasty vegan menu plus a great selection of local beverages. Highly recommended”

“Came in here and had a wonderful time. The staff were all so kind and friendly! The food was delicious and their squash rings are a victory 😋 definitely come and eat here!”

“Excellent food! Great service!”

“Had the most delicious meal here with my dad! This will be our new go to Thai restaurant! Our waitress Cindy was so sweet and welcoming. I really hope we get her next time we dine here. Highly highly recommend”

“We enjoyed our meal here. We enjoyed the Happy Hour offerings and felt that the value was tremendous. Everything was high quality and very tasty. The atmosphere was good for pre-peak hours and we think it would be a place we will return to very soon.”

“Great place… had a delicious Amalfi sandwich (Roasted veggie sandwich) and the Focaccia bread was really good.
The staff is very courteous and attentive as well.”

“Such a great small locally owned delicious restaurant. Atmosphere was great food was even better. 10/10 for everything extremely kind and friendly staff. All meals were made with extreme care and real Italian style. Recommend that groups bigger than 8 call ahead and they will be more than willing to welcome and accommodate for you and your party.”

“I've come here a few times to eat-in and for take-out. The service is always fast & staff are efficient & friendly! There's also tables and a washroom (which is also well-maintained). The portions & price are good value as I sometimes even spilt a burrito into 2 meals. It's my current go-to place to satisfy my burrito cravings & I'd recommend it!”

“We visited last Friday night and have been there a couple of times before. This place never disappoints, but this visit was even better thanks to our server, Viviriana. She was very engaging and made the experience feel special, even though we had been there before. The atmosphere is amazing, the cocktails are perfectly crafted, and they offer some great snacks that pair really well with the drinks. We’ll definitely be back again!”

“Tried this place on Sunday and the people on the desk helped me decide my order. The tandoori chicken sandwich was perfect for a light breakfast and a must. And the latte was as good as it gets. I chose this coz this was very close to hotel Georgian Court where I was staying but this place in Yaletown needs more hype and I recommend it too all my friends traveling to Yaletown.”
