“It's a little costly, but you'll know where the cost is going. Phenomenal food, and great staff.”
“Visiting friends in Portland, they took us here for Breakfast. Loved the ambiance. After a 30-minute wait (we didn't have a reservation), we were finally seated and waited... and waited... and waited, eventually receiving our order after another 45 minutes. Two of three orders were wrong - I had ordered "The standard" - described as "the standard two eggs* with a choice of bacon or Zenner's sausage served with home fries or field greens and choice of toast". Got it with roasted potatoes. The waiter insisted that's how they would always come - but then served extra fries - and, to make up for the wait, comped us with some of the jummy sweet balls they show in their icon image. I found this nice, but also the only appropriate thing to do to save them from a two-star review. Because the server, whom I found uncharmingly stressed at first, really woke up and sped up his game, I would take the experience and try it again when we visit our friends next time. The place itself is very nice, and the food was tasty - and would under other circumstances qualify for four stars or more (if you have read my other reviews, you may remember that I am rather particular with five stars).”
“I was pretty impressed with this place. Strip mall restaurants can be kind of hit or miss. This is definitely a hit. The food was so good and filling. We took a while to go over the menu and the waiter was super nice about it. He gave us plenty of time and made sure we knew he wouldn't be far away if we wanted to ask any questions. Everything we ordere tasted amazing, the meat was all tender and juicy. The soup was packed with delicious flavor and the house sauce they make is absolutely amazing. The owner himself came out and checked up with us and asked if we had any questions or needed anything. It was a really nice pesonable experience and I will definitely be coming back here.”

“I had the pleasure of dining at Almaro's Table in Vancouver recently, and I can't recommend it enough! We were on our way to Beaverton and arrived close to closing time, but the staff graciously welcomed us in despite the late hour. The food was absolutely incredible—it's been a long time since I've had something so delicious! Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. And I must mention the dessert—it's truly to die for! It was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. If you're in the area, don’t miss out on this gem. I can't wait to visit again!”

“Really excellent matcha latte. Hand whisked to order and they use Mizuba. The barista was very kind and excited with how verdant this matcha order was. This was the best matcha latte I’ve had in a long while - very balanced, whisked so well, actually had a great matcha flavor instead of tasting mostly like milk. Would recommend and come back again. Also had the earl grey cookie and it was really delicious.”
“Absolutely our favorite pizza place in Vancouver. I like it so much I am leaving a review. We ate here Friday, had some leftovers Saturday and ordered again today! Great for Indian food lovers and people looking for a "regular" pizza. Thanks for lunch again, Mighty Munch Mtn Curry Pizza!”

“Hands down some of the best and most attentive service.i have had from a restaurant, the food was amazing and the falafel is to die for. Their garlic sauce does not disappoint either. I highly recommend giving these guys a shot next time you crave gyros or middle eastern food. Think I may be a regular now haha.”
“I can begin to say how amazing this restaurant is!!! The food is always cooked to perfection, the wine deals are great, even the tea and table breads… 🤌🏼 delicious! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Incredible people and incredible beer! Love the menu diversity and haven't had a bad beer yet! Favorite spot to frequent and they take such good care of you!”

“The menu options were great and we enjoyed our food. The greeter and our waitress were especially friendly and helpful. However, the young lady who showed us to our table looked out of place. Everyone other employee was dressed in attire you would see at Oktoberfest as you would expect in a German restaurant. She was in a very casual oversized sloppy looking sweatshirt or sweater. And although I use a walker, she led my husband quickly to our table, chatted with him while waiting for me to catch up. Then she walked away without even waiting for me to actually get to the table or speaking to me at all - VERY RUDE!! Our waitress, server, greeter and the food more than made up for the bad taste she left in my mouth, thank goodness.”
“First time here today. It smells so good just walking in the door. I'm not sure of the spelling but Devon is so friendly and warm. He was very patient with my never ending questions If you haven't had their homemade bread, you should. I ordered a meat lovers and its as good as any pizza I can remember. It took me back to my favorite pizza as a child. The menu is pretty broad, everything we had I enjoyed. The service had me smiling. This is a phenomenal place!”
“I'm disappointed to see you getting involved in the disinformation campaign on Mcgillivray (not close to your restaurant) that a loud minority is calling "Save Our Streets." The campaign is biased against people who need to (or choose to) get around by methods other than cars. And it drowns out the neighborhood voices that have been following the process for input that the city set up.”
“I wanted to take a moment to leave a review and share how much we enjoyed our visit.
My husband is Armenian, and with most of his family living out of town, we were genuinely so excited to discover an Armenian restaurant here in Vancouver. From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations.
We ordered the walnut eggplant rolls, borscht soup, the pickled plate, chicken and beef kabobs, lamb chops, and baklava—everything was absolutely wonderful. Each dish was flavorful, authentic, and clearly made with care.
A special shout-out to Greg, our server. My husband was so pumped to be able to speak Armenian with someone, and Greg truly made the experience even more special. He did an amazing job, was attentive, warm, and took great care of us throughout the meal.
We can’t wait to come back and will absolutely be recommending your restaurant to friends and family. Thank you for bringing such a meaningful and delicious experience to Vancouver!”
“My favorite restaurant! The food and drinks are created with so much pride and care. The owner treats you like family. And, we always find parking nearby.”
“Happened to be in Vancouver at dinner time, this place is a block off tge larger road, but eas y to find and easy to get back on the highway. Nice staff and clean, pleasant dining room. First Indian cuisine in 40 years, and very tasty. We got veggie Somosa, naan, and goat vindaloo. Very good, meat super tender and spices in every thing well balanced. Recommend stopping by for dinner.”

“Well I have been going to this place for years. They are good but lately the prices have become way too expensive. For me and my two boys, 2 breakfast burritos, 2 kids bean and cheese, and one Oregon burrito no drinks no sides or anything else $42.51. I like the food but for that much I can make it all at home. I understand since COVID that prices went up but reality hits and you realize am I buying fast food or am I buying a bag of groceries that can feed the family for the week.”
“This was the best subway I have ever been to. Subway is one of my go to favorites for quick , healthy affordable meals. The manager, Tara, gave excellent customer service and she was fast and so fast... And efficient and still friendly when there was a line!”
“Words can’t describe the emotions I have after eating here. I grew up in Silverton, Oregon. Every weekend my family would have our outing to ‘HomePlace Pizza’. I grew up with it. It was my favorite pizza! And even an emotional, yes emotional connection to this pizza. If you’ve ever had it, you’d know just how incredible this pizza is. Welp, fast forward 40 years. I’ve lived all over. Settled in Camas, WA. Never finding a pizza that is even close to HomePlace…. Well SOB!! I found it at Barrel Mountain! I took a bite... All my childhood memories rushing back. The crust, the flavor, the crispness and fluffiness in the crust. A tear is shed as I look across the table to my wife as she asks… well, similar to HomePlace (for the 109th time). OMG.. it’s the same babe! Ahhhh! just overjoyed! The server (Desere) comes around… how y’all doing? I shed another tear and ask… have you ever been to Silverton, OR? Yes! she replies. I ask - you ever been to HomePlace Pizza? She responds, yes!! and did you know that Don who is the owner of HomePlace taught us EXACTLY how to make that pizza here?!? He taught us how to make the crust, the cooking time, the sit time and even the oven! My jaw drops! I knew it! It is HomePlace pizza! Long story short… Desere is an AMAZING and the friendliness server! And yes, hands down best Pizza on this side of the river! My soul is complete 🙏😊🍕🍕🍕”
“Stopped by for the lunch special, it was perfect! great sushi selection! very friendly service”
“We love Crave and have gone there several times. The mac and cheese is beyond great. We love the pasta they use, and the sauce is amazing. I always have extra to take home too. Not your grandma's grilled cheese is another favorite. I personally don't understand the bad reviews. It has been so great every time we go we have been completely satisfied and have told management several times. Compared to a lot of places and fast food at the same prices, it is a no-brainer. Thx Crave for our new place!”

“We met Kelly at the Vancouver Farmers Market a couple of years ago when she was thinking about opening a store. We are SO glad she did! Now we can satisfy our gelato fix anytime! We love all the ways she turns chocolate into something yummy! And her yogurt is the best! Wrinkles The Dog gives Sorridi two paws up, too (he stays outside in the car while Bob and I take turns going inside to pick out our single scoops)!”
“Di Tazza bakery, cafe and coffee drive thru is a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee with friends. They have pastries and yummy frittatas, biscuits and gravy and breakfast sandwiches. They have vegetarian choices and some nice gluten free pastries that are all made on the premises. It’s really cute and clean. The staff is friendly and quick to make you feel welcome. I live really close to it and I highly recommend it. It is in the previous chase bank on SE 84th and 137th. Easy access from Padden Parkway. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. 🥰”

“We ordered 2 pork butts and 3 racks of ribs from him for a party- everyone said it was hands down the best bbq they had ever had. The ribs fell off the bone and melted in your mouth, the pulled pork had the absolute perfect level of juice and smoke…and the sauce he made was drinkable lol!”
“Having been raised on the East Coast, I have been searching in vain for the pizza I grew up with. Yesterday, I visited the Thirsty Sasquatch for the first time. My search has ended! The Thirsty Sasquatch is the best "New York Style" pizza I've had since leaving Miami in 1973!”
“Everything is made fresh daily by John. His falafels are the best I have ever had anywhere, the gyros are incredible, the bulgogi beef bowl is insanely delicious. I’ve never had a meal there that I didn’t love. And, let’s face it, being waited on by the one and only Ingrid makes this place so special.”
“My son is a barista at this location. I came in for a coffee and a sandwich and was so proud to watch his interactions with Customers. Big smile and great attitude. I’ve managed Customer Service for a majority of my career, so watching my son provide excellent service was very fulfilling. All of the kids working at The Great North when I have come in have been wonderful. Management shouldn’t take this for granted. The coffee is good, but you can’t beat great customer service👍”
“Thank you, Vincent for your amazing customer service today! He has been our server a few times and he’s very friendly and helpful. The food is always delicious! We got lattes, croissants, and I ordered the Pork Belly grits today with an egg. It was so yummy!! Bleu Door is a Vancouver staple located in Uptown Village. It’s a must visit when in town! It was a great choice for our Saturday brunch.”
“Me and my husband came here last night for the 1st time, had a blast, nice place, nice people, good service and great music, we will definitely be back:)”
“Quick service, adorable atmosphere, the blended cappyccino with vanilla soft serve was delish -- but the chunks of cream made it hard to enjoy past the half way point of the drink.”

“Always a great cup of coffee. Both the employees and owners take effort and learn the name of the customer beyond just the type of drink they normally buy. I’ve seen when the owner’s find a shot brewed substandard; they’ve dumped it at their own cost in favor of getting it right. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot. They care for their coffee and for their customers. 10/10”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Amazing food and great service!!! I used to live and work not too far from where the food truck is and would eat here ALL the time (DeFiNiTeLy miss the food and the amazing service). Not matter what I got the portions and the food; for the price... never disappoint.☺️Damn! Now I'm craving some Tammy’s Bichin Kitchen🤤 You'll be seeing me again soon!”
“SmackTown @vanmall is absolutely delicious! I WILL recommend them to Everyone… I had the swiss bank account burger…. (Minus the grilled onion, only cuz i am not a fan of grilled onions On my burgers)…. HANDS DOWN THE BEST i have had in PNW to date, And i have been here 10 yrs! My #1 craving, and i daily think of it.… thank you SmackTown at vanmall! So glad you are here.”
“I have severe cold and my body was craving for Pho. Decided to go with Pho Family and I’m glad I did! I had DoorDash deliver and what I noticed is that everything was packed carefully. I wish I took pics of my food but I was super hungry and just wanted to eat and sip the delicious broth along with tons of veggies. I ordered the flank steak pho, van mi grilled pork, fresh spring rolls and delicious peanut sauce. I had to order taro tea too of course since I wanted something to cool my throat after the pho. All in all, it was 10 out of 10! I will definitely order again!”
“Fabulous restaurant! Authentic and delicious cuisine in a beautiful setting with excellent service!”

“Wow!! Best Barbecue we have had in a Long time! The meats were moist and Smokey, the beans spicy and great, wonderful greens and corn bread (being southern, my favorite), potato salad and cold slaw also great! We have found a new favorite place! Also, Don’t forget the banana pudding!! It’s as good or maybe better than my grandmother’s. I have a feeling they are going to be busy. Kathy B”
“Omg. Brock was amazing. So informative and funny and engaging. He gave us the experience I normally expect at a winery where I’m doing a tasting. He is amazing. This was our fifth stop on our wine trail but also our favorite. I can’t wait to come back.”
“We have loved everything about La Sorrentina since it was a food truck, and we’re so happy that they moved into a brick and mortar place. Since then, we’ve been there weekly if not more, and every dish is better than the last. Special entrees, pizzas, and deserts are always so creative and delicious that it makes it particularly hard to decide because the standard menu is filled with favorites too. Daisuke is a master chef, and every single person on his staff is warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Truly one of Vancouver’s gems.”
“Had a lovely early dinner here today. We were a party of three and had a pizza, penne with sausage, chicken Caesar salad and Tiramisu. All were delicious and well presented. Service was awesome, atmosphere pleasing. Will be back!”
“We really like Shanahan‘s. However, yesterday, their fish and chips was undercooked and we couldn’t eat it so we just left it and paid. So we will always be Shanahan fans, but we will never try the fish again. We are not ones that will send our meal back.”
“We are always n the lookout for something new to us to try out locally. Today we came to @thegroceeycocktailandsocial
I love that my hubby leans into my dietary constraints. Tonight he stuck to the vegan options available - without modifications! He found this place after about 45 minutes of searching locally and a few towns north. Essentially the idea of travel more than we have to was unappealing to me.
Social is a great way to describe the atmosphere - vibe is calm, upbeat, and positive. The staff lean into the vibe with casual clean attire that matches the social vibe.
We opted for the butternut squash curry with ‘shrooms, kale, and a light chopped hazelnuts topping. The heat was close to a 3 that I have expert other locations. It is heat but doesn’t burn. Lips have a slight tingle that feels good!
The curry had large chunks of well cooked squash, plenty of kale, and a few mushrooms. The chopped hazelnuts stayed crunchy until the last drop. And I do mean drop!
We also had the handcut Yukon gold fries - no salt. The plate was filled and they were fresh and HOT! It was hard to get my hands on a few as these are hubbies favorite potato🤣.
They have a good selection of beer on tap, plenty of options for cocktails and mixed drinks of most any type. They also have fresh fruit for drinks which is nice to see. I had an earl grey tea with lemon and honey - deliciousness!
Worth the time and parking fees on the weekend to check this place out!”
“We have been coming here for many years. Service is always very friendly, and the food comes out quickly! They are very accommodating of any food allergies. Used to be conveyor belt sushi, but now you order rolls individually.”
“Had a great Valentines dinner along with a free wine tasting. Filet mignon was delicious. Very nice wine list. Had a nice priced bottle of champagne with dinner and took home 6 bottles from the wine tasting.”
“5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating! Vault 31 offers the perfect layout, vibe and rockin' customer service to guarantee an excellent gamers' night out! Last night was the League of Legends Watch Party this unique video game bar! ? ??‼️ We were able to play the SNES System "Super Mario World" game, and tried "Kirby" and Mortal Kombat Joy-Con Style! Vault 31 offers their own in-house wood-fired pizzas! The owners here make their very own dough, AND sauce! Last night I tried the "Pickle Rick" pizza! Surprisingly delicious. Composed of red sauce, pepperoni, and bread N' butter pickles! YUMMMMM!!!!!!”
“Delicious food. Friendly staff. Welcoming environment. I highly recommend Sushi Mo.”
“We eat here often and with the new management it has only gotten better and better….our server Sara is terrific….”
“5 Star for Frontier PH, particularly for Mama’s Reuben (with tater tots IMO), also for Kyle’s excellent service. Thanks from 4 generations of our Family at one time on the Patio!”
“Fantastic food! Superb waitstaff!”
“I love this bar! The old school 1970s vibe was very cool. I love the beer signs, lamps and artwork. The booths and tables in the dim light looked cozy. We had four craft cocktails between the two of us and all four were delicious. The tots were also delicious. The staff was friendly and responsive.”
“Great food, beautiful ambiance and amazing service. Mikala was a very good and kind server. Dining in remembrance of a dear friend was made so special by all of the people at Kenjis. Thank you Kenji’s GM, Mikala and the staff! You made it a memory we will never forget!”
“Joe makes some of the best cocktails! love the steak bites! not to mention the patio for smoking is awesome.”
“I went in there tonight around 8 pm and my waiter absolutely sucked. He asked me 3 times what we needed which we told him refill of drink and breadsticks. We watched him walk back and forth 3-4 times not grabbing what we asked for and had to ask him again. He got my husband’s order wrong then proceeded back to our table to let us know he wrote it right but the kitchen got it wrong, all while being back to our table 3 times still without what we asked for but made sure to let us know who was to blame. The manager literally saved the night. He apologized and made things right with us. My husband and I frequent Olive Garden often but usually in eastern Washington where we live. We were in Vancouver on business. Thank you to the night manager for making things right. We will continue to choose Olive Garden solely due
to this manager.”
“Our go-to place for a beer (or two) and pizza or wings supported by a great atmosphere. Met a number of nice patrons there I now call friends. The ownership and management are wonderful people. They know my beer preference now and recommend new beers that they think I'd enjoy. 95% on target. (Yes, I am talking about you, Tony. :) Don't snub the Root Beer or wine, you'll find a pleasant surprise there.”
“I didn’t know this place existed! What a cool find 💎 I stepped into The Foxhole with zero expectations—I was quietly blown away. Dark, art-deco vibes that feel intimate without being heavy. Pretty open space, so our group didn’t feel like we were fighting for room. The bar started out quiet, then filled just enough to buzz without chaos. Cute photo booth. I didn't order food but whatever was going by looked good. The guys snuck away to play on the classic arcade games for a while in the back lolz.
Drinks were clever, balanced, and beautifully served. We tried a bunch of cocktails across the menu. The Charlie Tango drink presentation was show-stopping. Wait times weren’t very long with two bartenders. Aurora was really friendly and helped refill our water. Didn’t talk with her much, but she had a sweet presence. Christian made our drinks and was hilarious—witty, quick to read the room when we needed something. I will definitely be back to debate big foot with him.
Solid sips, thoughtful service, mood on point.”
“This place honestly exceeded all my expectations.
The food is absolutely incredible — not just good, but truly authentic and made with real care. As someone who knows Turkish cuisine very well, I can confidently say that some of the dishes here are even better than what you find in many restaurants in Turkey.
Every bite reminded me of home, but with an extra level of quality and flavor that’s hard to find. The ingredients taste fresh, the seasoning is perfectly balanced, and you can tell everything is made with passion.
The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for real Turkish food, this is the place. I will definitely be coming back.”
“super good service very friendly fast and great food with a great price definitely felt like they put in effort for their guests to have a good dinner”
“Outstanding staff, food was incredible. Best old fashioned I’ve had. Highly recommended. Great service!”
“Food is reasonably priced, tastes good, and staff is attentive and friendly. Their salads hit the spot and their mocktails are really great when you are looking for a sober night.”
“Wonderful homemade ice cream in unique flavors that is perfect for special occasion or just treating yourself. Go here.”
“I've taken my kids to Fuji's since my 19 year old's 1st birthday. It's still so fun to take them, and enjoy our time together. The chefs are fun to talk to, very impressive to watch, and they are very careful to serve exactly what you order.”
“My husband and I visited the "Shinsen" sushi restaurant in October 2024. The reason we post this review much later is we just returned home in London, UK. We were very pleasantly surprised from the moment we entered this nice restaurant. The interior design of the restaurant is made from the heart with attention to detail in the theme of the Far East. Next, the friendly atmosphere is created by the restaurant staff. Restaurant chefs prepare dishes right next to you and you can watch it being prepared. During our visit, we tried many dishes and drinks. I must admit that my husband, who is a very picky person and stingy with praise, found the food very tasty and delicious, giving much praises to the staff. I, however, was enchanted by my Violet Eyes cocktail being served "in the fog". We wish this nice restaurant every success.”
“Great people and amazing food!
I don’t know which is better. The friendly smiles or the Tortellini al Pesto Romano con Pollo?
Thank you for an excellent dinner.”
“Best Crispy Duck curry anywhere, super nice people, never disappointed.”
“We have been enjoying dinner at El Gaucho for special events for over 20 years and it just keeps getting better and better.”
“These folks blew our minds this morning. One of the best diners we’ve been to in awhile. Ambiance, service quality, food quality. So happy to have this gem in our neighborhood! Lisa, our server, was a pro and so kind from start to finish. We were with our kiddo and got the ship and grits, shrimp sweet potato hash, avocado toast, and their vanilla birthday cake as “brunch dessert”. Everything tasted so fresh, we can’t wait to go back. It’s great for a solo meal, with a group, or with kids.”
“A great experience. Food is very good. The owner very friendly and visits with the guests. All the wines are from our vineyards. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong. Enjoying a meal there. Prices ran between 20 to $40 a meal.”
“Super yummy food! Giant portions and awesome customer service. Will definitely be coming back 😊”
“We went on a double date here on a Saturday evening and were sat in the bar area. They have a beautiful and grand chandelier in there.
Service was great! Very informative and attentive. We never needed to look for her. We went with her suggestion to share everything and that made the experience more fun.
I loved the truffle mac and cheese, fried Brie cubes, and the scallop yakitori. The scallops are cute little guys and very tasty. All the skewers were delicious. I think next time I would skip the beef cheek poutine. The beef cheek was the best part and the other ingredients were just so so.
For dessert, we got the chocolate pot de creme and chocolate lava cake. If you’re just getting one, I’d recommend the chocolate lava cake. There are a lot of fun elements in the plate, great for sharing!”
“Service was excellent! 👍🏻♥️🍺 Good atmosphere, seating inside and out, which is nice! Beer was very good!”
“It’s clean and the talent is versatile, the outside looks great 👍 the cost is affordable…a fun place”
“Absolutely love coming here every week and trying all the new specials as well as their pizza that they serve! So good!!”
“Typical local bar/pub. Good food, good atmosphere. Here on a Saturday night with new friends and karaoke.”
“Our server Gerald T @ Vancouver Mall Dr location was above and beyond amazing and on top of all needs to make dinner for my husband and I a great experience,I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. You need people like him who work to make the experience wonderful. Food was delicious.”
“The best bang for your buck when it comes to Japanese food. All you can eat for a decent price. Tons of sushi options (yep! All-you-can-eat sushi), fresh grill-style options, and plenty of other Japanese options, including noodles, rice, gyozas, Kung Pao, beef, chicken skewers, string beans, hot and cold beverages, and of course soups and deserts. Staff are friendly and clear tables quickly to keep the wait time to none most of the time. The noise level is like most restaurants, it depends on how many people are in there. Our go-to for sushi and Japanese. My family loves sushi, but I don't like it and there are still plenty of options for me. Well worth it. You'll love it if you try it.”

“after a long wait of 20 minutes, we got a table to celebrate SVD, we ordered food and we were really hungry, after 20 minutes of nobody coming by or the server even asking if we got anything, a guy from the kitchen comes to ask if we got our food, I asked him to cancel our order, wich by the way was not even started! The organization of this place is terrible and the customer service is worthless, don't waste your time. Unless you want your night out ruined by a bad restaurant”
“Absolutely hands down, the best pizza I have ever tasted. So flavorful and amazing crust, that wood fired oven, wow! It was the best I have had, I travel extensively across the county for work, and I love visiting pizza joints, so when I tell you it’s good, Go and see for yourself!!”
“Went there this morning, the place was nearly empty, and after 10 minutes of waiting went to the bar and asked the bartender if any wait staff was working. She said she was the waitress and was making drinks and would be with us shortly. After waiting 5-7 more minutes she came over to our table and said (straight away) that I had not waited "that long". Of course this was rude and I said, "we were done and leaving". I just tried to call (5 hours later) to speak to a manager and was told, "they are in and out and would call me back". I think I am seeing the issue....I will never go back. It was the worst experience I could ever imagine.”
“This is, hands down, among the best food I've eaten. I brought the family in yesterday and they all agree. I have every expectation that you will need a bigger location very soon.”
“Linda was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and polite. Highly recommend the Vancouver tasting room. If in Walla Walla go to the tasting room there. Michelle was equally fantastic”
“High level customer service and great facility with various sizes of units to store wine at a constant temperature. Michelle is absolutely dedicated and goes above and beyond for her clients.”
“My wife and I had our first date here. The food was great, the service was wonderful as was the atmosphere. All in all one of my favorite places to eat in Vancouver.”
“I am Deaf and was having trouble understanding the cashier with masks and she was able to use Sign Language to ask me what kind of bread I wanted. The little things make a big difference! Thank you!”
“We ordered these to go with our pizza for our fantasy football draft and they almost got finished faster than the pizza (I picked up 4 orders). They were FANTASTIC. Everyone brought something to our potluck style event and these were definitely a favorite.”
“Always a great cup of coffee. Both the employees and owners take effort and learn the name of the customer beyond just the type of drink they normally buy. I’ve seen when the owner’s find a shot brewed substandard; they’ve dumped it at their own cost in favor of getting it right. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot. They care for their coffee and for their customers. 10/10”
“We had an amazing experience at Las Islas en Pochos in Vancouver. The food was incredible and the service was excellent from start to finish specially from Paulina.
The seafood was especially outstanding fresh, flavorful, and authentic. It truly reminded us of the amazing seafood from Nuevo Vallarta in Riviera Nayarit.
We’re so happy we found one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area.
Highly recommended!”

“The menu options were great and we enjoyed our food. The greeter and our waitress were especially friendly and helpful. However, the young lady who showed us to our table looked out of place. Everyone other employee was dressed in attire you would see at Oktoberfest as you would expect in a German restaurant. She was in a very casual oversized sloppy looking sweatshirt or sweater. And although I use a walker, she led my husband quickly to our table, chatted with him while waiting for me to catch up. Then she walked away without even waiting for me to actually get to the table or speaking to me at all - VERY RUDE!! Our waitress, server, greeter and the food more than made up for the bad taste she left in my mouth, thank goodness.”
“Amazing food and great service every time. The pizza is always fresh with a perfect crust and tons of flavor, and the fish and chips are surprisingly some of the best around—crispy, golden, and cooked just right. Friendly staff and a welcoming vibe make this place a go-to spot. Highly recommend! 🍕🐟”
“Great food, beautiful ambiance and amazing service. Mikala was a very good and kind server. Dining in remembrance of a dear friend was made so special by all of the people at Kenjis. Thank you Kenji’s GM, Mikala and the staff! You made it a memory we will never forget!”
“Wow!! Best Barbecue we have had in a Long time! The meats were moist and Smokey, the beans spicy and great, wonderful greens and corn bread (being southern, my favorite), potato salad and cold slaw also great! We have found a new favorite place! Also, Don’t forget the banana pudding!! It’s as good or maybe better than my grandmother’s. I have a feeling they are going to be busy. Kathy B”
“Many of us used to go here often when we were pre-teenagers all the way up to when they closed down due to what ever it was that caused them to close. Driving by many times over the recent years seeing the doors closed and the building dark, i would reflect on the countless times sitting there eating my burritos while having many conversations with Ophelia (Mom/Grandma Original Owner) as she would come out and sit with customers when she wasn't cooking. I was so glad to hear the family has pulled it all back together and re-opened MIGUELS! They did have and will continue to have a massive following and they have proven that in the first days of re-opening as they ran out of food. CONGRATS to the MIGUELS FAMILY! Thanks for bringing back the great food as well as the fond memories of times past.”

“We usually have a great experience but this time not so much. I ordered potatoes skins for an appetizer and the server forgot to send it in the computer in the back so I got them just before my food. When I got me my food the steak tasted like it was reheated and my broccoli was very smooshy.”
“Stopped by our neighborhood Applebee’s the other night because we couldn’t think of anywhere else to go. We seated ourselves immediately upon arrival in the bar, which was great because we showed up during happy hour. There was a bit of a delay before anyone came over to greet us or take our food/drink order. After being seated for a bit, one of the female bartenders came by and brought us waters and then another server took over because their shift started. Once service picked up, the experience was much better. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, and the happy hour specials were an especially great value for both food and drinks. However, 1 of the 3 appetizers we ordered was barely warm when we received it, as if it was done and had been sitting there awhile before it was brought out to our table. Elliot was an excellent server—very friendly, patient, and professional. He made sure to check in on us throughout the meal without being intrusive and was happy to answer questions and make suggestions. His attentive service definitely stood out and made the visit more enjoyable. Overall, a solid experience with good food, great happy hour deals, and standout service once things got rolling. With slightly quicker initial service and fresher/hotter appetizers, this would easily be a five-star spot.”
“You had the best crab cocktail in town. It was a little spendy, but it’s a little spendy everywhere else. Not sure why it had to be taken away so sad. My family and I came monthly specifically for the crab cocktail for the past 10 years now I must find another restaurant for my family and I to go to. Please bring it back”
“Fun, Family, and Fantastic Nachos
I recently visited Billygan’s Roadhouse in Vancouver, Washington with my niece, my great-niece, and some of their extended family, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. It’s one of those places that immediately feels fun and relaxed the moment you walk in.
One of the coolest parts—especially if you’re bringing kids—is the classic roadhouse tradition of peanut shells on the floor. You can toss them right on the ground, which makes it feel carefree and playful. No stressing about making a mess—just enjoy yourself. It creates such a great family environment where everyone can relax and have fun.
The food was excellent, but for me the nachos absolutely stole the show. They had the perfect balance of cheese and chicken, and the sauce was spot-on—not too spicy, just really flavorful. It was incredibly satisfying and honestly the perfect portion for one person. I was full and happy by the end.
The best part of the visit, though, was spending time there with my niece Lily. We had such a great time together, and you can see it in her smile—it says everything about how much fun we had.
This is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again, and I’m already looking forward to bringing Lily back for another visit. If you’re looking for a fun, casual spot with great food and a family-friendly atmosphere, Billygan’s Roadhouse is a great choice. 🍽️🥜😊”

“I had seen a post on a local board game group about this shop opening up soon. Finally something closer to us north county folks! I stopped by mid afternoon and Keith greeted me with a smile. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He showed me around and we talked for close to an hour. The for sale board game selection is thorough and they plan to still add more. They also have a library of games you can play in the cafe. They have about 8-10 play tables and the cafe offers a variety of soups, sandwiches, drinks, and more! I'm really excited to see Contrarian's grow and be a focal board gaming resource for our community.”
“OK. Cariño. What a place. The owner makes every customer feel special. Her name is Melissa and all I can say is, “Thank you.” She made us both feel right at home. She co-owns the place with her sister. All the food is clean (no preservatives, etc.). The sodas in the fridge are clean. They make their own tortillas, their own hot sauce (her dad’s recipe), their own horchata . . . and their philosophy is, “Would I feed this food to my family at home?” The atmosphere is fun. There are cacti and plants everywhere, and there’s fun art on the walls. The wifi is more than fast enough (290 mbps if I remember correctly). The bathrooms are clean. There are several small places where you can feel intimate. I love the couch/chairs and little round table near the front. Their mocha flights—you have to try them. They’re a little spendy at $17, but they include four Mexican Mochas (cardamom, orange, habañero, and . . . I can’t remember). But get the flight, get the avocado toast, sit with a friend, and really FEEL the downtown Vancouver coffee shop vibe. I can’t say enough good things about Cariño. Oh yes, on Thursday and Friday nights they transform into a wine bar, serving specialty wine flights (also $17 if I remember correctly). The wines are from Mexico and the vibe is distinctly different from the daytime vibe. I can’t wait to try their “After Hours” experience myself. All in all, five stars. A must-visit. We also did a video review which you can on our new YouTube channel - PNW Coffee Bros. Check it out.”
“Came here for lunch with my stepmom today. The food was amazing! Flavorful, hot, large portions. Plenty of space. Reasonably priced. Best part: the service. Jimmy is amazing at his job and was truly helpful. He checked in just the right amount, and was so kind to answer of all questions with enthusiasm. Give this guy a raise! 👌🏼”
“I like cool and unusual hot dog shops and Diggity Dog is most definitely one of those. The atmosphere is colorful and corky The people working there were super friendly and outgoing and the hot dog was delicious. I had the opportunity to eat in. They only have a few seats. It's mainly takeout. It's a bit away from where I live. But I shall return.”
“This place honestly exceeded all my expectations.
The food is absolutely incredible — not just good, but truly authentic and made with real care. As someone who knows Turkish cuisine very well, I can confidently say that some of the dishes here are even better than what you find in many restaurants in Turkey.
Every bite reminded me of home, but with an extra level of quality and flavor that’s hard to find. The ingredients taste fresh, the seasoning is perfectly balanced, and you can tell everything is made with passion.
The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better.
If you’re looking for real Turkish food, this is the place. I will definitely be coming back.”
