    Very cute cafe with interesting menu items. Cozy interior with an outdoor patio too. Everyone in my group enjoyed their foot but mine was best - the sweet and salty French toast. Excellent!

    As a huge Once Upon A Time fan, I made my husband drive us up here when we traveled to Seattle. We loved our food, although the service was a bit slow for not very many customers being there.

    This place has a beautiful outdoor seating area. Inside seating is spacious unlike other cafes in the neighbourhood. The greeter attended to us immediately. Server was attentive but I think she wasn't in a very good mood that day, a nice smile would not hurt. Food is good but no surprise, IG presentation, cost is Steveston price, Latte could be slightly warmer. It's a good place for a weekend brunch date.

    Beware! They charge to pay with a card and are not worth what they are charging! Their food is not well balanced. You can tell that they are just trying to follow a recipe with no intent or understanding of the taste or what they are putting together. I ordered the Sweet and Salty which is a French toast with a poached egg and bacon pieces. The bacon came in strips just laid on top, they gave very little syrup and the hollandaise sauce on the poached egg lacked flavor and was slightly sour. The strangest and sorry to say, disgusting part was they took a bunch of greens and topped the entire thing and proceeds to take powdered sugar to the greens making them sticky and sweet. That was absolutely disgusting. I tried one leaf and it was the grossest thing I ever ate in my life. The French toast was ok but nothing to write home about. The other dish that was ordered was a pulled pork eggs Benedict. The pulled pork was bland and just sweet with a cheap store bought bbq sauce but also very bland. The worst part is they are not cheap and no manager was present. When I asked if I could have a specific table (place was empty when I arrived and empty when I left) they said no because it's "reserved" Stay away! Horrible experience, hopefully somebody who knows how to run a cute restaurant will save this place! This foreign owners don't understand and are peddling trash!! Don't eat here!!

    This is still my favourite brunch place. I absolutely love the cute charming decor, the food presentation and just the overall ambiance of being in a cute little upscale diner. The portion sizes are perfect for me. Only thing I will say is I find their rose tea latte a bit diluted. I've ordered it a couple times and seems to be a consistent thing.

    There was no chance that, during our weekend visit to Steveston, we weren't going to dine here at some point. As the filming location for "Granny's Cafe" in one of my wife's favorite shows, "Once Upon a Time", it was unavoidable. Thankfully, not only do they serve a mean (if somewhat unusual) brunch, but the interior décor acknowledges and proudly displays its association with the series, which makes die-hards like my wife eminently happy! Our visit was on a Monday morning, and it was almost completely packed inside, so I can imagine it's even crazier on the weekends. There's plenty of patio space out front and along the side, but my wife wanted the experience of actually being inside "Granny's", and luckily enough, we were seated directly underneath a small portrait gallery of characters from the show, much to her delight! I had no trouble locking on to my entrée of choice: the breakfast paella. My wife struggled a bit more, eventually settling on the rosti, with smoked salmon. My paella was straight-forward, and delicous: savory, herby, tomato-y, sausage-y, egg-y...all the good things that end in "y". I was completely satisfied! On the other side of the table, I witnessed my wife's puzzlement as she tucked into her order, initially a bit flabbergasted by the combination of flavor profiles: the sweet, almost French toast flavor of the rosti (with powdered sugar), mingled with the potency of the smoked salmon, the subtle smoothness of the cream cheese, and the sourness of the Hollandaise, was unlike anything she had ever tasted before. Not unpleasant, just...different. Difficult to define. Halfway through, she declared that she liked it, while still acknowledging its unconventional nature. She said she probably wouldn't order it again, yet still enjoyed the experience of it. A few other oddities presented themselves throughout our visit: our meals arrived before the cocktails (a Caesar and an Espresso Martini, respectfully), with the former being a little too weak, or diluted, for my personal taste; no complaints whatsoever about the martini. Our server(s), who seemed to flit about and service all tables interchangeably with one another, were all competent and efficient, even with one of them slightly more aloof than the rest. The interior décor is cute, but similarly a bit disjointed, being a mix of classic bistro up front, and Asian-inspired café (complete with maneki neko) at the back, near the kitchen. Overall, the Cannery Cafe managed to achieve the storyb(r)ook trifecta of serving excellent (and somewhat arcane) fare, in an enchanting atmosphere, and sprinkled with a dash of fairy dust nostalgia, for good measure. It's hard to write a better ending to a story than that!

    The house has so much character it drew me in immediately along with a rose tea latte. Went to enjoy the sunny spring Sunday in Stevenson. It was so nice. We ordered brunch to share as ordered the eggs benny with grilled shrimp and fried chicken and waffles with poached eggs. Both were pretty good. I could not stop eating the roasted potatoes that accompanied the Benny and also enjoyed the plain spring salad that accompanied the fried chicken, balance so I convinced myself as I indulged in the fried chicken. I ordered the rose tea latte and it was very pretty but was not what I expected in taste, perhaps it was the 3% milk as it was heavier than I would have preferred but to be fair, lattes have more milk. The service was good, and it was a great afternoon to spend in Steveston.

    Must try: Granny's chowder, chicken wings

    Always our must go in this area for brunch, great hang out spot, pretty chill on the patio during summer with the right amount of sunshine

    Rose Tea Latte
    Lulu L.

    It was perfect weather to eat out before the cold season, we went for an early stroll in Steveston, and yep, this famous restaurant caught my eye. This place is such a gem; the interior is beautiful from the outside alone, sadly I didn't have the chance to peek inside. The outdoor seating feels so relaxed; the server is welcoming and has been a tremendous help with the menus. For this visit, we had: Beef Stew + Sourdough ($18.99) - the stew is in the sourdough, which is such a perfect combination; the beef is so tender and flavoursome; this comes with a side of yogurt and sunny side egg. Breakfast Paella with chicken ($24.98)- it was our first time tasting paella; it was filling, tasty and satisfying. The chicken was so crispy, tender and savoury. Again it comes with homemade yogurt and toast bread. Chicken wings ($15.99) - it was so good we had half, half for the flavour, half spicy, half salt and pepper; both flavours were solid and palatable. Rose Tea Latte ($3.95) - I love this; the smell, the taste, the looks, and the smoothness is just perfect. Brewed Cafe ($3.50) -mild and delicious Overall, the place is pleasing, food presentation is overwhelming, some of their menus seem pricy, but some are just right, attentive servers, and of course, food is delicious.

    Chicken and Waffle
    Janet M.

    Came here as a group of two at around 10.30 AM on weekdays, we were quickly seated indoor as the outdoor patio was pretty packed. From first glance, the café decoration seems cute, heard this place was set for a number of movies. I ordered mimosa to start with, and chicken and waffles for main. Presentation was nice, and I did not expect to get poached egg on my chicken and waffle order, so that was a pleasant surprise. Poached egg was a very overdone by 2-3 min; yolk was solid, this is something that you would notice just by touching it lightly, surprised they didn't notice when they were plating it. They skimped on the amount of the hollandaise sauce, and did not have much flavour (forgot the lemon juice and salt??). Waffle is a bit too dense for my liking, it's not fluffy at all. Chicken was cooked perfectly, it was tender with the right amount of crispiness. Server was friendly, and they kept our water filled most of the time (sometimes they are a bit too busy).

    Lavender latte

    Ate at the Cannery twice and it didn't disappoint. The ham beanie with lavender latte was delicious. The service was quick.

    This place can get busy so come early! This cafe is so cute and the servers were also really nice. There is more street parking than I thought in the area. They have a lot of brunch options and I went with a paella. I particularly enjoyed the foaccia bread. It was a good amount of food. I ended up taking out about half the dish and saved it for an afternoon snack.

    Breakfast Paella
    Lisa N.

    If you've ever watched Once Upon A Time, then you will know that this quaint restaurant is known as Granny's Cafe in the show! We stopped by here for brunch and although they do not accept reservations on the weekend, we arrived around 12:45P and there was a table readily available. Every item we tried was indicated as their "Best Sellers" with this emoji; . Items we ordered to share; GRANNY'S CHOWDER There was a lot of clams in the chowder. Overall flavor was good and was served in a bread bowl. In my personal opinion, I feel like you lose portion amounts when a chowder is served in a bread bowl. Still good. BREAKFAST PAELLA This paella had Bavarian sausage, veggies, served with a sunny side up egg & a bed of fresh salad. The flavor was very tomato-y, something I'm not accustomed to when eating paella, so that was a bit new to me. The presentation was very nice, it was served on a wooden paddle and came with toasted bread & yogurt. Unsure if it was my fave dish. FRIED CHICKEN & WAFFLES This was probably my favorite dish! The chicken was well season and so juicy. Cooked to perfection. The dish is served on a soft waffle (a little sweet in my opinion), poached egg topped with fresh salad, hollandaise sauce & syrup. I asked for the sauces to be on the side (this is just a personal preference). ROSE TEA LATTE The drink was good, nothing extremely special, but presentation was very pretty! MIMOSA They only have one flavor, which is orange. I think this drink lacked alcohol, you could barely taste the alcohol. Presentation: Pretty Food: Overall it was decent and I would like to come back and try their other menu items. Service: Good Parking: If you're lucky you may get a spot nearby. But in general, Steveston is just a busy area. Reservations: Yes, but not on weekends.

    So mum wanted to show her appreciation for being her chauffeur taking her around to the doctors…read more She took me out for dimsum and with it being in Richmond there is a plethora of choices. She wanted to go to Kirin. Plenty of parking in the mall. Hostess greeted and seated us promptly. Restaurant was busy but not crazy. This was at 10am on a Thursday. Waiters were attentive. Usual table service was in place. Took our order and food came out at acceptable pace. When we were done, they politely boxed up the leftovers and we paid our bill. So service was on point. The food we ordered came out hot. The staples that I order to test was hargow, suimai and pai gwut(spareribs). All 3 dishes in general were good.....the hargow could have used an extra minute or 2 in the steamer. The suimai was very good. I tasted every ingredient in this dish. Usually it is just a complete mix and you can't discern the different flavors. They tried something different with the cheongfun by adding pieces of Chinese donut to the roll. I personally think it didn't add much to the dish, taste or texture wise. I did like the pea shoots with shrimp. I think it is a good combo. All in all a good dimsum. I also noticed they did not charge us a tea service. The cost of the food is comparable with other restaurants at this level. Yes come on a date or impress business clients/boss or family celebrations.

    I have many Chinese friends in Vancouver, and my last visit to Kirin Richmond was in July 2024…read more This time, it was my birthday, and my friends insisted on treating me to Kirin Richmond once again. On a typical Sunday evening, the restaurant is usually fully occupied, but my friend had thoughtfully made a reservation a week in advance, so our table for five was ready upon arrival. As always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, with good airflow thanks to the wide-open front entrance facing the parkade. The front desk receptionist greeted us cordially, and we were escorted to a cozy table in a comfortable location -- not too close to the washrooms, which I appreciated. Our meal began with the Kirin Special Assorted Cold Appetizer, followed by Crab Meat, Dried Scallops, and Fish Maw Soup. The soup arrived piping hot and was delicious, with a generous portion that could easily have served eight people. We also enjoyed Pea Tips Braised with Bean Curd and Assorted Mushrooms in Consommé, Marinated Free-Range Crispy Skin Chicken, Fillet of Cod Sautéed with Seasonal Vegetables, and Live Crab in Consommé with Ginger and Green Onion, served with E-fu Noodles. Overall, the quality and taste of every entrée were excellent. Service was top-notch -- tea and hot water were refilled constantly, bones and used plates were replaced promptly, and the servers were friendly and engaging throughout the evening. My friend and his family have apparently been regulars at this location for over two decades, which likely contributed to the exceptional attentiveness we received. However, one aspect of the experience genuinely disturbed me. All servers, including the captains, continued to wear masks at all times. While this practice was understandable two years ago, now -- five years after the onset of the pandemic, with COVID-19 managed similarly to other seasonal respiratory illnesses -- the continued universal masking in a fine-dining environment feels unnecessary and detracts from the overall guest experience. Fine dining, in my view as an avid foodie, is built on human connection, hospitality, and personal interaction. Masks create a more impersonal, almost clinical atmosphere. In a well-ventilated space like this, the environmental risk does not seem to justify the visual and social trade-off. Rather than providing reassurance, the persistent masking may unintentionally signal that the environment is unsafe or that management is out of step with current provincial health guidelines, where masking is now a personal choice rather than a mandate. Final verdict: Food & Service: 5/5 Ambience: 2/5 Overall: 3/5 -- as the current aesthetic feels more like a relic of 2020 than a leader in 2026 hospitality.

May be it's because we are all in "food coma" by the end of dinner! This visit was for dinner - and we were outside the door waiting even before they opened at 5:30. On a Tuesday. And we were already second in line. Celebrating a birthday, we had cold jellyfish starter, lobster fried e-fu mein, braised pomelo skin with seafood, and beef fried kai lan. The lobster was perfectly cooked. Even slight over-cooking can make the lobster meat tough. However, every piece was perfectly cooked. Including the large claws. Cooked with ginger and scallions, the lobster gravy coated each strand of e-fu noodles to umami yumminess. The braised pomelo skin was a special seasonal dish. I have not had this dish in many decades, and when I saw this in the special seasonal menu, I had to get it. The bittersweet braised pomelo skin complemented perfectly the fresh seafood, and topped a bed of Chinese spinach. It was the first time for the other members of my family and they literally sucked it all down. The beef with kai lan was another standout. Beef slices were tender and delicious and that perfectly complemented the well seared gai lan - great evidence of wok hei. Service is exemplary. Not just for a Chinese restaurant, but for any restaurant. The servers are constantly on the alert, and Everytime they see a plate filled with lobster shells, they would whip it away and replace it with a clean plate. They made sure that tea cups were filled and kept us updated with the delivery of the next dish. And at the end of the meal, dessert (Tong Shui) was complimentary... and they added a wonderfully light and flaky walnut cookie and piece of mochi for each of us.

The place was maybe less than half full at the time, but was pretty full by the time we finished. The whole restaurant felt clean and comfortable. We were hoping for an 8 lb king crab (or less) as there were only five of us including two kids that ended up not really eating much of the crab (as expected), and the smallest they had was over 9 lbs, no big deal let's go! We had the king crab three way, garlic steamed for the legs, salt & pepper for the joints, and the rest was made into a fried rice. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, our cravings were truly satisfied.

The fish dishes were equally impressive: a delicate stir-fried fillet with snow peas that was light yet flavorful, and a crispy, salty fish dish that had us all nodding in appreciation. Add in a glass noodle dish with cabbage that felt like a cozy hug, and a plate of garlicky greens to keep things balanced. And yes, someone slipped in a sweet and sour pork for that old-school comfort. The ambience was a notch above your typical Cantonese joint--think upscale decor and a lively, bustling dining room that still felt welcoming. And the service? Well, it came with a side of comedy. We had one waiter who was so gruff and hurried that he turned our group photo attempt into a running joke for the night. We ended up laughing about it and getting a nicer waitress to take a proper photo, but honestly, it just added to the charm. So if you're looking for a dinner spot that combines top-notch Cantonese flavors with a bit of unfiltered, authentic personality, Chef Tony's is your place. We'll definitely be back--maybe next time for the dim sum brunch!
