The food is very creative. I like the scallop, and the pork belly dish. Sake and certain cocktails are good.

I had the pleasure of dining here a few years ago- delicious food, amazing service.
Brandon- thank you for showing everyone who gave you flack for opening in this location. Thank you for caring about the community and the wellbeing of a child specifically- I know this isn’t the first instance where you or your staff have shown kindness or compassion.
Here is to many more years of beautiful plates and full seatings
Food is really mediocre, very normal, and definitely not worth the high price tag. Outside the restaurant is full of homeless people and so unpleasantly stinky. I don’t recommend. Staff was very friendly.

Absolute banger of a dinner!
Jess and Sarah (I think), we're amazing in helping us select dishes, expand the offerings to fit the head count.
While they do offer a tasting menu we decide to just order multiple dishes to share and managed to eat all of the desserts.
This was the best meal we had while visiting Vancouver.

My boyfriend and I were visiting from Toronto to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and wanted to try this place. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the food, but the service was good. Their drinks are delicious (we got a purple haze to share), and got the tasting menu. We only liked 2 of the items served, and everything tasted very underwhelming. A lot of the dishes were relying on coconut, and we had added on the foie gras bowl which was severely disappointing. The dish was drowning in the unagi sauce and the rice ratio was way off.
The owner and servers were nice, but for the price point, we wouldn’t recommend or return.

I’d been meaning to check out Pidgin for a while, and when we finally made it there, I have to admit — it felt a bit overhyped.
We tried a few of their dishes: the foie gras, adobo pork belly, and the roasted duck. The pork belly was decent. The roasted duck and foie gras really stood out. The duck was cooked beautifully with a rich depth, and the foie gras was smooth and well-balanced.
Portions were on the smaller side, but still something to keep in mind if you’re coming hungry.
Overall, while the atmosphere was stylish and the food was good, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. It was also a bit scary going to the restaurant (iykyk).

You are in for a truly special experience at PiDGiN in Vancouver. We enjoyed the chef's table with views into the kitchen. The tasting menu and wine pairings combined for an unforgetable culinary journey. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The decision to secure the Chef's Table offered us an intimate and mesmerizing view directly into the heart of the culinary magic. From our vantage point, we watched the focused precision of the chefs, the vibrant colors of the ingredients and the intensity that goes into crafting each dish. It provided a deeper appreciation for the artistry and dedication involved in creating each course. The entire experience felt incredibly personal and exclusive. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive and genuinely warm. The accompanying wine pairings were expertly chosen, enhancing and complementing each course beautifully. Each selection enriched our understanding of the connection between food and wine. For anyone seeking an elevated and engaging culinary experience, the Chef's Table at PiDGin is an absolute must. It was quite simply, wonderful.

Generally speaking the food is delicious, especially the sauce!!!!
Tbh for the price point, i’d give it 4.6 stars
We got kimchi croquettes(2) , scallops, duck empanada(1), sablefish, and pork belly rice bowl.
Everything is good except for the pork belly rice bowl; the seasoning is ok and the pork is kinda dry.

Cannot speak highly enough of this place! We booked the chefs table with tasting menu and it was an incredible experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meal and went out of their way to make our visit special. The food was excellent! Cannot speak highly enough of their chefs. Every course was an art piece that never left you wishing for flavor. 10/10 and we will be returning

An outstanding meal with exceptionally thoughtful service. We found every dish to be so well-crafted, flavorful and tasty, and the sake flights were creative and well-balanced. For two tasting menus and drinks, the price was very reasonable, and we’re excited to come back next time we visit Vancouver!

One of the best meals of my life. Amazing food and service. I've been luck to eat out at some wonderful places, and Pidgin is one of the best. We chose 12 dishes from the a la carte and everyone was exceptional.
My favourites where:
- Roti - light, flakey with just enough substance, and the dip had such a delicious warm spice to it
- Cheesecake - that was almost more like an egg tart - not too sweet, and phenomenal texture and richness
- the foie gras rice bowl - such a great mix of flavours!
- Korean rice cake - was almost like gnocci in a bolognese - but with textures like nothing I've ever tried.
I've had meals where every dish was amazing, but they played it safe. But at Pidgin - they took risks on each dish and somehow they all paid off with unique flavours that worked.
Everything from the food to the service was so wonderful, I'll be back soon!
