“We loved the fact that all dishes were very flavorful and had distinct flavors. Beef dishes were not chewy, ie, which is a big thing for us when we eat steak or tartare, we loved it!”
“Went for the Lunar New Year dinner. The food was amazing. The staff was even better. The New Moon cocktail was incredible.”
“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. 🥂”
“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.”

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

“BEST IRISH PUB IN VANCOUVER”
“I've hired Pizza Catering Vancouver twice for corporate events, and both times they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! They also offered excellent gluten-free and vegan options, which were much appreciated. This team is my go-to for catering, I can’t recommend them highly enough. A true 10/10 experience!”
“Outstanding to die for real authentic Indian food. You gotta try it at least once in your life.”
“Food is very thai authentic & delicious. Mango sticky rice is so artistic and so good.”
“The best local Vietnamese cuisine! A must try for the authentic Vietnam flavours 😍”
“Lotus root very fresh and crispy even on day 2 of eating. Peking duck crispy, good size pan-fried beef portions, fresh mushrooms. $7 for Tato's small size takeout container of your meat or vegetable selection. Fast service, thanks.”
“Best Banh mi on Victoria. The cash lady will try to upsell you on absolutely everything. A little annoying seeing what a cow cash this place is,but hey -maybe that's her passion.”
“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍”
“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!”

“The food is great but the service makes it outstanding.
Shoutout to Daniel, Chloe, and chef Felix for making this dining experience top tier.
Atmosphere is beautiful, moody, every detail feels intentional.
Standout was the pappardelle. Oysters always good. Tiramisu also delicious.
The pork - UNREAL. The juiciest, soft/qq, overall just a great bite.
Come with friends and share a lot. Come yourself and sit at the bar. Either way, worth checking out.”

“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”
“Good food that's pretty standard. Didn't feel that anything in particular stood out for dimsum specially for a place that was Michelin rated or award winning. Pricing sure reflected it though. Quality of the ingredients did seem a little better than the other restaurants.”
“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!”
“Flavourful, unique, healthy food all served by a friendly and dedicated staff. I can’t give The Hestia Veggie enough stars to reflect how amazing it is! Highly recommend!”

“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”
“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.”

Ask to be in May's section when u go here!”

“Oh, heaven forbid you miss out on our fresh and delicious sandwiches, prepared by a tall, hot sandwich-making prodigy. And just in case the front parking is full, don't fret, we've got the luxurious back parking option. It's practically a sandwich-lover's paradise here, where breakfast and lunch are absolute winners.”
“This morning was one of those where you get up late for work and to top it off the bus is going without you, it made me happy to stop by a cafe and a muffin the smile that the girls gave me made me feel good, very few places have this service, I am very grateful.”
“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.”

“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!”

“It was a dry Sunday so the benches were out on the sidewalk. We had a craving for fish and chips and an oyster Po’boy. The fries were crisp. The fish batter perfect. The oysters were fresh and the kimchi elevated the sandwich. The cole slaw was light on sauce and to me just right. Overall a great lunch outing!”
“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”
“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!”
“The kebab was incredible: extremely flavorful, cooked well and not dry at all! The poutine was a bit soggy for our taste—the flavors were there, but the fries were not as crispy as we would have preferred. Still a lovely establishment overall, and extremely friendly people!”
“There’s really no such thing as bad izakaya food, and Kingyo Izakaya is certainly no exception. Their cocktails are quite unique, and the dishes are genuinely delicious. The stone grill is not only tasty but also fun—both the atmosphere and the aroma are absolutely top-notch. In addition, the Tomato Kimchi was surprisingly impressive. I’m really glad we came here to celebrate a birthday, and I appreciate the staff’s thoughtfulness.”
“Pretty much my favourite burger joint, even when it was just a ghost kitchen. Even back then, the service was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the burgers were just as delicious as they are now. The fries aren’t terrible, but when compared to the burgers, they aren’t great. Another complaint is that the new shop’s atmosphere is definitely a bit clinical, which kinda clashes with how warm and welcoming the workers are. Still, that won’t stop me from always ordering a cheeseburger original if I’m even somewhat close to the location”

“A decent restaurant that worth Michelin recommended. All the dishes are to the satisfactory level. The little surprise is the appetizer steak tartare which the fried shiso matches well with the beef and chutoro. The baked oysters are done to perfection. Lamb saddle portion as main is quite small. The desserts are just so so.”

“Shout out to Salmon n' Bannock Bistro for such an amazing dinner for our Anniversary last night 🧡 The food was to die for and reminded me of home. 🥰 The candied salmon was my favorite! The atmosphere was beautiful and everyone was incredibly lovely. Highly highly recommend you go check them out 🫶🏽”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lovely experience.
Thank you Shelby for the exceptional service and delicious table side preparations.
Thank you Alina for being such a fantastic host and the special treat after our meal.”

“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.”
“We had an amazing experience at Sushi Jin! It was my boyfriend’s birthday today, and we made a reservation in advance for their omakase. Both the chef and his wife were incredibly warm and friendly, which made the evening even more special. The ingredients were super fresh, and everything tasted delicious. We especially loved their wasabi and homemade ginger — such a nice touch! It was also a pleasure to watch the chef carefully prepare each dish — truly a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Since they only serve six guests at a time, it’s really quiet and private, which made it feel even more special. Highly recommend!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always such a pleasant experience. The interior feels upscale yet relaxing, and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.
The “Holly Cow” platter is an amazing selection of meats — without a doubt the best taste you can find in Vancouver.
They also offer individual BBQ sets and counter seating, which makes it easy to come alone, while the private table seating creates a wonderful atmosphere for families or friends to enjoy together.
I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!”
“From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you can feel the heart and soul behind it. It’s not just a place to eat sushi — it’s a reflection of a life’s work. The owner, who is also the sushi chef, has poured himself into every detail: from the way each roll is prepared to the way the restaurant is decorated. You can tell that everything here has meaning.
The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and deeply personal. Every piece of decor feels like a story — a timeline of the chef’s passion and dedication to his craft. You can sense that this isn’t just a restaurant, it’s his art studio, his life, and his heart on display.
And then there’s the sushi — absolutely incredible. The fish is fresh, the rice perfectly seasoned, and the presentation thoughtful in a way that makes you pause before taking a bite. Each plate feels handcrafted, not just made.
What truly makes this place special, though, is the feeling. The service is warm and genuine, the chef takes pride in connecting with guests, and by the end of your meal, you feel like you’ve been invited into his world. It’s the kind of place that puts a smile on your face and makes you wish you could stay longer — not just because the food is amazing, but because of the people behind it.
This isn’t just sushi; it’s a story, an experience, and a reminder of what passion looks like when it’s shared. I left inspired, grateful — and already planning my next visit.”
“Beautiful modern restaurant with personable owner. Friendly and professional team and every member knew the dishes well. The food was exquisite. We enjoyed the oysters, scallops, Kimchi croquettes, the cod dish to name a few. I would give them 10/10 and will be definitely going back!”
“I love this place! Service, authenticity and vibe ♥️
Have tried almost everything on their menu and I must say it brings me closer to home.
This time I am adding a review because they went above and beyond. I ordered via doordash but they missed the chutney. When I called them up, their staff member came personally and gave me the chutneys and a surprise dessert, Gulab Jamun!
That’s how you win hearts. Great job guys. You are amazing 🤩”

Cheap Eats
“The three of us and a dog came to Nonna’s Cucina on East Hastings for the first time after seeing it several times while driving by. We each ordered the rigatoni dish and in our opinion the quality was at par with Oca and La Tana. Very tasty and flavorful, and good portions. It was so neat to be served on pretty china instead of on a cardboard container. One of the staff came out while we were waiting at our table for our dishes and he was so kind to give our friend’s dog some bits of ham to enjoy! We are so glad to have tried this place out and we will definitely be returning again soon!”
“Had the Sunday sauce! Omg! Watch for it because it doesn’t happen every day! I’m just saying this is the real deal it’s rich and meaty and most decadent sauce. Fun place to stop in and shop for Italian ingredients too, I love the relaxed style of take out and all the choices.”
“Le Parfait is a cozy spot to treat yourself when you’re craving sweet or savoury. I ordered a choco Nutella crepe and Iced Latte. It was super delicious and freshly made. The two young girl named Ira and Kate was suuupppeerr nice and very welcoming.
Highly recommend it.”
“I ordered the curry chicken, and it was really good. It had a nice sweet ish flavour and was very well seasoned. Plus, the staff there were lovely. I also liked the restaurant, we were seated on the patio, and the decorations, news, and food brought me right back to Korea. Definitely coming back here next time I’m in the area!”
“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!”
“Last visit:
I ordered this dish from the special menu, apparently a popular item. However I found the chicken stinky and old, even with the flavorful sauce I couldn’t finish the meal and left it half way.
Apparently the staff don’t have any authority or control over customer satisfaction or compensation offers, so they just said nothing is wrong with the food and expressed they are sorry. Not sure if I will try their food again.
First visit:
Lovely staff, nice and clean place, tasty dessert.
Will come back!”
“Nice atmosphere! But some areas could be a bit dark. Excellent beers and good choices.
Hotdogs are excellent except the Mac Cheese Dog which is pretty underwhelming and over priced (not in the photo).”
“Our first time here and wow it was amazing! We shared the pad thai and yellow curry, best we’ve had since Thailand. Unfortunately no pictures because we devoured our food too quickly! A must try next time you’re in the area.”
“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.

“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!”
“An incredible evening. Food and drinks were amazing; service was perfect. It's such a great experience to let the restaurant make all the food decisions!! It was beautiful evening. Thank you TMR team!!”

“During my visit to Hyderabadi Biryani House with four friends, we had a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in traditional Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was a highlight, with its soft, fluffy texture and rich garlic flavor that perfectly complemented the meal. The veg dum biryani was equally impressive, offering a fragrant mix of spices and perfectly cooked rice that provided a satisfying, hearty dish. The veg curries were another standout, with their rich, aromatic gravies and fresh vegetables that delivered a burst of authentic flavors. The meal was a fantastic experience, with these dishes standing out as the stars of the evening.”
“It was awesome, great food, fantastic drinks and unbelievable company! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Great food, the owner comes around to every table asking how everything was. His passion is cooking and the restaurant has been around for forty years. Nice interior, open and child friendly.”
“First time hot potting. The waiter was so helpful and the food was delicious!!! We will definitely be back again!”
“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!”
“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”

“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.”
“Food was rich and exquisitely presented. The staff explained every dish and answered all of our questions and made helpful suggestions. The restaurant did get loud when it was full so it was hard to carry on a conversation”
“Delicioso sabor, buenos condimentos, cocina al momento, 💯% recomendado!!!”
“I ate at Zarak last night for the first time and I was blown away. Every Single Dish was spectacular!!! The portions were generous, the flavours are like nothing I have ever experienced and the cocktails... Run don't Walk to Zarak. Special mention: The service was great. All the staff were attentive, informative and happy. What a treat. I will be back!”
“We were looking for an authentic Lebanese restaurant in BC. Don’t pass Mazahr’s for lunch or dinner. Food was excellent!!!!!!”

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.”
“We recently celebrated my husbands 40th birthday with an amazing dinner at Nightingale! There were 12 of us and had a family style dinner, which every plate that came out was amazing. I wish I lived in Vancouver because I would frequent Nightingale weekly. Service was prompt and they were consistently keeping the drinks flowing.”
“There’s really no such thing as bad izakaya food, and Kingyo Izakaya is certainly no exception. Their cocktails are quite unique, and the dishes are genuinely delicious. The stone grill is not only tasty but also fun—both the atmosphere and the aroma are absolutely top-notch. In addition, the Tomato Kimchi was surprisingly impressive. I’m really glad we came here to celebrate a birthday, and I appreciate the staff’s thoughtfulness.”
“Everything was just so good! Spicy Salmon Roll, Unagi Roll, Salmon Sashimi, Chicken Teriyaki, Tuna Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri, Tamago Nigiri. Absolute Sushi Paradise!”
“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.”
“Good food that's pretty standard. Didn't feel that anything in particular stood out for dimsum specially for a place that was Michelin rated or award winning. Pricing sure reflected it though. Quality of the ingredients did seem a little better than the other restaurants.”
“Such great food! The servers are second to none and the live entertainment on Saturday was amazing! 10/10 would do it again!”
“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!”
“Had Fantastic service our waiter Darshil was very nice and polite always came by asking how the food was and if he could help with anything else. We got our food and drinks really fast. We definitely will be going back all of the food was amazing!.”
“Highly recommend! Food, services and the environment are PERFECT!!! Definitely will recommend to everyone around me!”
“Had the most amazing family style menu of the chefs choices. Excellent food and service.”
“Such a nice place to spend your time at. Beautiful and delicious food paired nicely with a wide variety of wine. Would definitely recommend if you want a cute little bougie night out with friends or a date night.”
“wow this is amazing! I had the gluten free Crist with all vegan options. so delicious. you have to try it!!”
“Our favourite sushi spot! Everything is so delicious. I especially love the vegan gyozas.”
“Afghan Horseman never disappoints… my husband and I have been coming here for over 30 years and now it has become a favourite of our kids also. The food…delicious, the atmosphere… unique & cozy, the service… we are always treated like family and we were honoured to be included in their 50th Anniversary celebration this year. Tonight we enjoyed another fabulous dinner experience and we got to share it with our friend from Germany who loved it. Thank you to all our friends at Afghan, we look forward to dining with you in 2025!”
“absolutely 💯 the food, service, and room are all amazing”
“Amazing service from Olivia. This lady is one of the best if not the best servers I have ever had at any restaurant bar-none!!”
“One of the very best Japanese restaurants in the city. Reasonable prices and home style Japanese food. Worth the wait. Come early.”
“Complete satisfaction on the whole Thailand food experience. Servers were extremely attentive, very kind and well mannered individuals. The cutlery was simple, delicate, and perfectly arranged on the table. The furniture was new, and the bathroom was spotless. We were definitely the first to arrive, but the place filled up quickly. The food was at the perfect temperature, and the flavor... that signature flavor of Thai cuisine: delicious, plentiful, and at a really reasonable price. Highly recommended, although the place isn't very spacious.”
“we did the all you can eat. so much delicious food and the servers are super attentive. highly recommend”
“One of our favourite places to go for pizza - always delicious and the atmosphere is lively and fun 🤩”
“Perfect place for seafood lovers and delicious desserts selection.”
“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!”
“Loved every minute of our dining experience here! The aromas upon entering this wee spot got us excited, the welcoming staff were lovely, and then...the food. We ordered Omakase C - Cofu and were delighted! The presentation is artful, but not fussily so. The flavours were layered and subtle so every ingredient could be tasted. Our favourite was the salmon sushi (we ordered an extra 8 pieces!), rich, decadent and delish, especially with the Cilantro Cucumber sauce. We tried the Restore and Elevate mushroom tinctures on the rocks; unexpected flavours, but they grew on us paired with the food and a little ice melt dilution. We will go back time and again to try everything on the menu. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Food is delicious. The marinated butter beef, chocken wings, stew beef and Vietnam crepe was delicious. The Beef luc luc, fried shrimp was good.
Be prepared for a long wait.”
“Enjoyed the experience and friendly conversations with the severs.”
“Great service from staff and exceptional food quality and preparation.”
“What a cool place! Loved spending time with the kitties and trying the menu”
“Enjoyed the vibe, fast friendly service. Food was good and delicious 👍👍”
“This tea shop in Vancouver Chinatown is a true gem for tea lovers and anyone curious about the world of tea. The quality and diversity of their teas are exceptional. Whether you're looking for delicate white teas, robust pu-erhs, or fragrant oolongs, they have an incredible selection that caters to all tastes and preferences. Each tea is carefully sourced, and you can really tell the care and expertise that goes into curating their offerings. The owner Daniel's passion for tea is infectious, and his knowledge is both deep and approachable. During a tea-tasting session, he guided us through a curated selection, explaining the nuances of each variety and how to properly savor them. It was a relaxing and educational experience, and I left with a greater appreciation for the art of tea. Whether you're a seasoned tea drinker or just starting to explore, The Chinese Tea Shop is a welcoming and enriching place to visit. I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of their wonderful teas and the chance to learn from Daniel's expertise.”
“Yummy food and avocado 🥑 salad 🥗 was delicious! I love sushi and I would come back here again! The rolls were a good size and super tasty. Great area to walk around and enjoy before or after the meal.”
“Recommended here by one of our Nurse friends, so we dropped by for an early lunch today w/ my 2 coworkers. Sooo yummy! First impression? Delish!!! huge servings & the use of fluffy brown rice was the determining factor of the meal NOT being gastro-heavy! Very nice presentation! Good size servings! Will definitely return on another lunchbreak! yummmmmy!”
“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”
“Guu is by far my favorite restaurant in the Vancouver. The staff, the food, basically everything about this place is fantastic.
I’ve been coming here for several years and I can’t remember anytime going home disappointed.
Can’t wait to be back countless times 😁”
“My favourite burger restaurant and one of my favourite restaurants in general in Vancouver. I crave vonns like every day all the time. Amazing food and great service I wish I lived closer so I could go more often!!”
“WOW, i cannot believe this spot i just discovered. The sushi was so fresh. The fish ball soup was so comforting. The best of the meal is the CREAMY UDON. I can literally have two of it for myself. Aaa unfortunately i haven’t tried their alcohol menu yet. Overall, i love this place.🫰🏻🫰🏻☺️☺️”
“If I could give Happy Lamb Vancouver 10 stars, I honestly would. The value here is unbeatable—the portions, the quality, and the overall experience are worth every dollar. The restaurant is spotless every time I visit, and you can tell they take real pride in keeping everything clean and comfortable. On top of that, the staff are incredible: friendly, attentive, and always willing to help without ever feeling rushed. It’s rare to find a place that nails great food, great service, and great atmosphere all at once, but this one does it perfectly”

“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Delicious dishes in a very comfortable setting. Really pleasant servers who smile and make you feel comfortable. Overall the dishes were exceptional; I love the lamb curry and the vegetable thali. The butter chicken melts in your mouth. Try the happy hour lunch menu if you are by yourself. You get a tray of lamb, chicken or vegetable curry along with rice, naan, potato curry and crispy pakora. The main menu is all worth trying and sharing with friends. A very special place!”

“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.”
“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!”

“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.”
“I have added a google review. We chose Dockside Restaurant to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, seeking a calm, romantic spot with exceptional food. From drinks and starters to main courses and desserts, everything was outstanding, showcasing fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. The menu isn't overwhelming, which helps maintain the high quality and rich flavors of each dish. Their extensive halal options make it a hidden gem for diverse diners. The staff were warm and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. The beautiful waterfront view adds to the ambiance, making it ideal for special occasions or a relaxing meal. Their happy hour offers great deals on creative drinks, making it a perfect time to visit early. 😉We're already planning to return for breakfast on their patio to enjoy both the delicious food and serene scenery. Highly recommended for intimate dinners and memorable celebrations.”
“Incredibly accommodating staff for my 5mo baby and husband. They seated us in a quieter section near a washroom with a change station. We relocated to a function (that was downstairs) and the staff helped us carry our stroller down. Second year that we've been here for a function and each time has been wonderful.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We ate here as a party of 8 and really enjoyed our meal. The view of the harbor is great! Staff are friendly and accommodating. Took a while to get our food but it came out nice and fresh, and our drink orders came out right away. Would recommend this place if you want to eat at the harbor.”

“Wow, we had a great time at Gary’s tonight. Second time at the restaurant (lat time was during the rugby seven’s weekend - an exciting time in Vancouver) - first time sitting at the bar (tonight) The kitchen was great to watch, my favourite moment was when two of the cooks bumped shoulders and they took a moment to pause and acknowledge (so great to see such a fantastic team working together). The food was incredible and we really appreciated the table menu with an addition of the foie gras to the night. But this story begins in 2007 when we watched World Cup rugby on a patio in Toulouse France when we had our first Fois Gras. The fois gras was just as good as our first experience - thank you kitchen! Thank you to all the staff but especially to Tina who provided some incredible pairings for the meal!”
“Where do I even begin. This experience was just that…an experience. Every single detail of our meal was meticulously thought out and considered. Chef Lee loves his craft and his passion for quality shows. From the moment you walk through the door it’s clear the night is one to remember.
Lee’s also assisted by his wonderful wife only making the experience that much better. It felt more like we’ve been invited to dinner at their home than at a restaurant.
Every ingredient, plate, cup and detail imaginable was carefully selected. You’re truly paying to watch someone prepare food they love and it last felt in each bite.
I haven’t left this wow’s after a meal in a long time and the recognition chef Lee and his team have gotten is well deserved.
We’ll definitely be returning again as the season changes to experience this again…CANT WAIT!!!”
“I was here before the renovation, it was really good then, now that they are 100% plant based i thought it would different, nope! Its still amazing!! I highly recommend the fully loaded sammy!
The new side they opened is absolutely beautiful! My friend i come with is celiac, she approves ! They really care about the difference between celiac and gluten free diets.”
“We went for lunch on a weekday with reservation beforehand. This place is very popular and with limited seating so reservation is a must. We tried quite a number of dishes and each was a very pleasant surprise. The Tum Pia Ra salad was very refreshing we ordered it non spicy as my daughter tried the regular one before and she felt it the spiciness was overwhelming. The crispy pork toast I will highly recommended. Then the Tom Yum soup was so good is another must try. We ordered the soup only with mild spiciness but I think next time we would go for the regular spiciness. Pad See Ew was also very good but last but not least and my most favourite dish of the day was the mango sticky rice dessert. You have to try it cos it's hard to describe in words to do it justice.”

“First time trying this place — loved the patio! The area wasn’t too busy, super cozy even though it was a bit windy. The staff were really friendly! The chef rotates, and we got the ceviche — it was okay, but the vibe totally made up for it. Would definitely come back to try more food! Overall 9/10 🤍”
“The first thing that hit me was how clean the venue was. The staff was very friendly. We chose the prix fixe. The steak was one of the best I’ve tasted because there were no tough bits at all and the sauce was SO good. The side salad was well balanced. I am GF so I asked for veggies on the side and they gave me these grilled mushrooms that were very addictive. The cocktails were delicious and my husband’s wine was so good.”
“One of the most unique cafes in the city! I had the chicken and prosciutto sandwich with one of their cookies. They were both delicious! The staff were great too! The cafe was busy but the workers still noticed when I needed a refill of my water. I can’t wait to try one of their drinks when I return!”
“This is our first time to try this gem here at Kingsway. And they never failed us! The foods are wonderfully delicious and amazingly flavourful! We are definitely going back. I highly recommend VAN 168 Coffee and Vietnamese Cuisine. The food is amazing, the service is great and the atmosphere is so nice. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤩”
