Vegetarian laksa (made vegan by subbing veggie broth for chicken broth)
Matt B.

This place actually has plenty of vegetarian and even vegan options, but they're not well-advertised. With many locations around Vancouver and Richmond, the online ordering system is pretty streamlined. Basically, you pick a noodle soup, a broth base, noodle type, 2 toppings, and a drink--this generally comes to $11.95 plus tax (often 10% off online). I was hunting around for vegan laksas and noticed they offer a veggie noodle soup option and a laksa broth option. So I phoned to make sure the broth is vegetarian/vegan -- it comes default with chicken broth, but they have a veggie broth option, so that worked out great. For toppings, I got cabbage and bean curd skin, and selected the spicy option. The portion is extremely large, especially for the price--I was stuffed and I'm a big eater. The broth quality was really good, quite complex, and amply spicy (though not too much). For laksa, not too oily/greasy. It may not be the finest laksa in town, but I was really impressed. For a food fair option, it's even more impressive. Highly recommended.

First off the bubble waffle was pretty tasty in flavor, but kinda soggy and not crunchy. I really liked the fish ball because of the sauce flavor and how well it was cooked. As for the main dish the fish soup noodles, it was good and well cooked, but the noodles didn't fit the soup style in my opinion and the portions for mushroom were very small. The presentation also wasn't that good, but my expectations weren't high since it wasn't like a fancy restaurant type of deal. This meal seems pretty simplistic to make and the price overall isn't bad.

This Bubble Waffle Cafe location is new, they recently just opened and they're already getting quite busy! I ordered their dry noodle (udon). Instead of meat, I substituted it with vegetables. It was pretty tasty. Service was good. I'd come back here again.

Bubble Waffle Cafe is one of the latest editions to the Harbour Centre foodcourt probably making a lot of the other restaurants jealous of their good business. I've come to this food court often for lunch and I can say that their meals are definitely one of the better ones you can get here - if they get your order right! My favourite dish here is the Laksa chicken noodle soup because of the amazing broth and the actual Hainan chicken itself. My only warning however is that this place does get pretty busy during the lunch hour so be sure to order online (and get $1 off) or go early so you're not waiting too long. Also, be sure to check your order BEFORE you leave. So many times they have forgotten the soup, utensils or a drink and it's too late to go back once you're gone. Oh, and there's also a stamp card where you can get a free bubble waffle after 5 purchases. If you do decide to go online to complete your order, you have to pay in-store. Nobody told me this but DO NOT line up if you have an online order, go straight to the self checkout kiosk and pay first. Then your order will be put into queue. They will not take your online order if you try to line up in person (but they don't tell anyone that either) and they made go to the new-at-the-time self checkout. Overall, good food but maybe not so quick service on rush hour times. Be sure to check your order is correct!

This restaurant is located in the food court at City Square Mall at 12th and Cambie. I've been eating keto-esk for a while and I generally ask for veggies instead of noodles when I get "noodle soup". Some places look at me like I'm nuts, while others (like this place!) offer it as part of their noodle options! yay!!! I got the lamb laksa combo (comes with sliced lamb, chicken and fish balls and the soup is rich and flavourful with a slight kick, I got a ton of Savoy cabbage and even some tofu as my noodles), a side of spicy chicken nuggets and their HK lemon tea (no sugar). It was all delicious and well priced. Next time I will get the hainese chicken soup cuz it looked really yummy. If you're eating in, go up the escalators to the second level, it's a lot quieter (less reverb and bounce) and outside the windows is a forest of trees to gaze at. Parking is underground ($4/hr!) but they validate the ticket which is good for 90min.

Your chicken nuggets tastes of rancid oil and oil rice was undercooked. Inedible. I have yet to try your Hainanese chicken later today.

The Chicken Avocado sandwich is the bomb and will order it every time, that I am in Vancouver.read more

Great place for refreshingly healthy eats downtown. I mostly do the build-your-own salad bowls,…read morewhere you can combine a variety of interesting "salads" with a base and optional protein of your choosing. The chili-lime tofu, my go-to, is grilled fresh and juicy with a tangy marinade. I find these bowls very filling, but the price adds up quickly as you add more salad scoops, so I find it best to be conservative with my estimate of how much I think I need to eat. Besides the salad bowls, they have some hot entrees. I tried the Moroccan chickpea hot bowl and the tomato soup and both were a little bland, which was especially disappointing for something labelled "Moroccan". I would go back and try some different entrees to see if anything else is better, but I would say the salads are likely the best choice here. They have a very limited selection of "healthy" baked goods too. I really liked the chocolate pistachio cookie. As you would expect, it's significantly less sweet and has a slightly drier texture than a regular cookie, but if you like that kind of "better for you" treat, it's good. Very cocoa-forward. I've had good experiences with the service. The staff is friendly enough and usually pretty fast. It's counter service, but they'll usually bring your food to you at your table. There's a good amount of seating inside and a few tables outside when the weather allows. It's minimalist but clean.

I never knew this place was called HBC Gourmet Market, but I finally remembered to take note of it…read morethe next time I visited. It's a bakery and deli. This is the place where I usually buy cakes for the office. Their cakes are pre-made and placed in the displays for you to choose from. They make cakes throughout the day, but if you're unlucky they could be low on choices if you're there at the wrong time. If you have time, order ahead, but I don't usually have any problems with walk ins. The most recent cakes that I purchased were the Lemon Meringue and the Chocolate. Both cakes were sweet, light and fluffy. They were a hit in the office.

This is just a quick review which I promise to update soon (I am at work now and they don't pay me…read moreto review restaurants). The HBC Gourmet Market is a little known great eatery in downtown Vancouver. It is located on the bottom floor of the Hudson's Bay Company (next to the Pacific Centre food court). It appears to be relatively unknown because Yelp doesn't know about it and so many people are always asking where I buy my lunch! Here you will find a very tasty selection of typical deli fare... The soups, salads, and sandwiches are their main selects but there is a whole lot more! My favourites are the Thai Chicken soup and the Chipotle Chicken Soup... usually ordered with a Greek salad. I am always so pleased with my lunch that I made this my very first review on Yelp!

I had spotted this place the day before while walking by. Today we stopped in for lunch…read more When we walked in the place just smelled amazing. And the porchetta on the cutting board was calling me. We ordered a Porchetta sandwich, meatball sandwich and a side Kale Caesar salad. The Porchetta was great. Chopped and with some crispy pork cracklings on top, it was really very tasty. The mustard on the side was a great addition to every savory bite. Next the meatball. Spicy and delicious with a bit of kale added for texture and color. This was EVEN BETTER than the Porchetta if you can believe it. The kale salad was also good as well as the spicy pickle. I would eat here once a week if I lived close bye. A definite must try if you're in Vancouver. 9/10

On our trip to Vancouver, I searched top sandwiches near me and this spot popped up and I knew I…read morehad to try their porchetta sandwich. Being that it was our first time here, one takeaway is to ask for more cracklin' because the crunchy pieces are the best part IMO. We ordered a porchetta sandwich and a grilled cheese. For the price (compared to Cali ) I thought it was a great value for a porchetta sandwich. The bread was fresh, perfectly toasted. The flavors were all tasty, and getting a side of their spicy dip elevated the sandwich even more. 10/10 would eat on the regular if I lived near by. The grilled cheese was alright though in comparison to the porchetta sandwich. Great cheese pull, definitely needs some dipping sauce to elevate it though. Don't know if I'd order again but if a grilled cheese is what you are craving, it'll do just fine. This location had some seating inside and a couple benches outside. Definitely good for solo dining or a quick lunch. Overall, glad we tried it, and wouldn't hesitate to order again.
