Food Courts in Vancouver, BC

“The Waterfront Centre Food Court offers a nice variety of options, from quick snacks to full meals, with something for most tastes. The location is super convenient, right by the station and the waterfront, making it easy to grab a bite before or after travel. It’s generally clean and well-maintained, though it can get busy during lunch hours and seating might be a bit tight at peak times. Overall, a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal in downtown Vancouver.“

“I got takeout today (Aug. 27) and the food was PERFECT!!!! People rave about Ramen Danbo, but that place is mediocre at best.

I bought the creamy chicken black ramen for $16 (I tipped), which I THINK is the tonkatsu black ramen and it tasted SO DIVINE. I’ve been to Japan and all I ate there was ramen and I think this is the closest authentic Japanese ramen I’ve ever had. Noodles was perfect, broth, and chashu. I can’t believe this place is in a food court. I’d definitely get more takeout here.

They don’t take AMEX, which is fine. The service was incredibly friendly. Just the same service I used to get in Japan.

Not the place’s fault, but I was getting catcalled and there were few weirdos around because of the location (downtown East Hastings). Won’t stop me from buying here though!! Can’t wait.“

“I highly recommend this store! The staff are super friendly, and the food really hits the spot. I especially loved how they added a generous amount of vegetables to my noodles — that’s a big plus for me. They cooked my teriyaki beef noodles right in front of me, which not only shows their cleanliness but also gave me fun street food vibes. Loved the whole experience!“

“I think is one if the best places in vancouver to order carnitas, we ordered 500 gr of mixed carnitas and it came with a good amoumt of corn tortillas, green salsa, lime and pico de gallo, everything was pretty tasty, is not my first time ordering here, the flavour and service is great and pretty solid.“

“A great addition to Lonsdale Quay! Highly recommend their bowls and salads!“

“Pretty good food considering it's a food court. Quite a bit of selections.. from Vietnamese to Japanese to Korean to Indian and a sandwich place too.

It can get busy here, so come at 11:45am to beat the rush!

Tried the pho for the first taste, and it's decent sized for $15.50. Will definitely try other restaurants next time.“

“Cheapest, most worth it food on campus IMO. You MUST try Donair Town, My Home Cuisine, and Want Want Hot & Spicy House (don't customize your own pot unless you want to spend more money). My only problem with this place is that it is hella dirty and I think the janitors legit clean it once per day because there is always a time that the trash cans are full and used containers are stacked like jenga.“

“You will need to swipe your membership card to order now. This store has the outside eating area with bar height tables, which is convenient for cart-parking next to your table and doggie friendly. We have to wait 20 minutes during lunch hours on weekend to get our hot dogs and one piece of pizza. Noted the fries price has increased.“

“Dont get me wrong now
In the terms of dining halls
this is pretty good

but otherwise, it really is mid food, non comparable to resturants.
I cam here for FGL program and food was always buffet style.“

“This is one of the three conventional first year dining halls on UBC campus, and it is solidly alright.

They always offer a very wide selection of food at their various different stations including different types of pizza, burgers, pasta, and spins on traditional Mexican, homestyle, and Asian cuisine. They have all of this along with quite the yogurt/salad bar assortment + desserts and drinks.

Unlimited food with so many options is definitely a benefit, but some choices can be subpar at best and I noticed readily accessible protein options (primarily meat) are not always available.

My go to "clean" options (download nutrislice to be sure, but don't expect to see nutritional facts posted publicly ANYWHERE) that also taste pretty good include the sesame chicken salad with a hard boiled egg, any of their salmon meals, or a simple yogurt bowl.

It may be difficult to eat here everyday, but sometimes there are hidden gems and the staff never disappoint. This is why they deserve an absolute minimum of 4 stars :)

Vegetarian options: Lots of good vegan and vegetarian options for both dessert and main courses!“

“I came here for dinner in my first year at UBC almost everyday, because it’s probably the best dining hall out of the three. The food was very consistent. My recommendations: butter chicken from Square Kitchen, fried rice from Custom Kitchen, and the occasional dim sum on weekends. There used to be serious health safety issues with bugs being found in the food, so be careful of that“
