A burst of bold flavors for a solid snack!…read more We came for early lunch to try their wagyu and veggie dogs. There was a line but it went fast, we waited ~5 mins and received our dogs, lemonade, and fries within 10 mins. The wagyu termimayo dog was really flavorful, and the mayo/teriyaki/fried onions/seaweed balanced well the sausage. The veggie okonomi was also yummy with flavorful sausage, sauce, and cabbage (we didn't get the bonito flakes). We also ordered the butter and shoyu fries which were well-seasoned with a shoyu powder and didn't feel any more greasy with butter than regular fries. The yuzu lemonade was surprisingly good, the yuzu flavor was natural, strong, and didn't overpower the lemonade. There is a station where you can get sriracha, ketchup, mayo, and pickled jalapenos on the side to customize your dog to your liking. The interior felt unique and cozy, while still being clean. There is a good amount of seating indoor and outdoor. Typical street parking. Wasn't filling enough to count for a full lunch for us, but a great snack bite!

If you're out in downtown Vancouver late at night and need a bite, Japadog is the move. Open until…read more4 AM, it's the perfect post-night-out food stop. The menu has a lot of options, but my favorites were the Wagyu Beef Dog (#11) and the Pork Dog (#1). Both were packed with flavor and loaded with the signature Japanese-inspired toppings that made Japadog famous. The combination of savory meats, sauces, and fresh toppings takes a simple hot dog to another level. Quick service, great late-night eats, and a Vancouver classic that's worth trying at least once.

The Platter portion was good enough for the price. I would order it again!

Good food, and a liquor license. The decor is very casual. A nice change from fast food.read more

~ Yummy Fries ~…read more These fries are so delicious! I can eat a bucket of the fries alone. I got the regular poutine. So flavorful! You can also add seasonings on top. It's in downtown though, so there are a lot of homeless. Service was okay. There's seats inside to eat!

This Mcdonalds is unique because there are no chairs and tables anywhere near the stand-alone mall…read morerestaurant. There are also no self-serve computer order kiosks. Eating in is not an option. Note that I came around 9pm on a Monday so maybe they took all the tables away earlier. Years ago when I visited this location, they had many chairs and tables just outside and inside the restaurant. Due to the awful area, a lot of homeless people were hanging around just sitting. Not necessarily eating. Now with the chairs and tables gone, there are barely any of them hanging around so I guess it's for the better. It didn't eliminate the problem entirely because as soon as I stepped out of the restaurant area I was asked a couple times by several people for a "rolling paper", extra change, or a lighter. Also, I noticed some of the windows of the restaurant were broken and boarded up with plywood. Yikes. It was VERY hot out (30 degrees!) So I decided to visit this McDonalds for a cheap but delicious frozen treat. I wanted to try their new peach smoothie but they ran out of it. I came later at 9pm so it's not surprising but it's still disappointing because I love peach smoothies. I settled for their strawberry banana smoothie. The smoothie I bought was delicious so I think it is very much worth it. It was refreshing and I could actually taste the strawberries and Banana flavors in it. In my opinion, a medium size is just enough to cool you down on an extremely hot day. Overall, their fruit smoothies are good! Good price too as it was "summer drinks day" time so it was only $2 for a medium one ($2.38 after tax and cup fee). Service could be better. There was a group of homeless looking people in front of me counting every dime, nickel and quarter to pay for their food so it took a really long time to wait to get my order in. There were 4 cash registers. Usually, another staff member would jump in and take another order using the other register but none came. Only one register was available and there were no self-serve kiosks. I had to wait 5-6 minutes to wait and get my order in even though there was only one order in front of me. Once I got my order in, it took a little longer than expected to get my smoothie, maybe 3-4 minutes. Usually it would take 1-2 minutes if it was not busy like this visit. I have a feeling that this Mcdonalds is either understaffed or just slow. Overall, I'd avoid this location if possible. Slower than expected service, and the type of people that are walking around in the area are not very, say, totally normal. Also there's nowhere to eat your food at the restaurant or near it. Kinda inconvenient. It's a decent grab and go place for the kind of stuff where you can walk and enjoy your food such as smoothies. Only giving 2 stars for the reasons stated above. I recommend you go to the slightly better Mcdonald's nearby instead. It's by Main Street - Science World skytrain station but only one short subway stop away from the Chinatown - Stadium Skytrain Station by the mall.

I walked into the restaurant around 6pm this evening and was told that if I wanted to order…read moreanything from the menu, it had to be either a filet o fish or a chicken burger. Otherwise I would have to wait anywhere from a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes because nobody (and I quote) nobody wanted to go into the back freezer for any of the beef patties and all that they had ready were the fish or chicken patties that had been sitting out under the warmer for a few hours!

We searched for bratwurst near Rogers Arena, and Brat Haus came out on top. Just a short walk from…read morethe arena, this fast-casual spot turned out to be such a fun surprise. They offer 10+ house-made sausages, plus snacks, pretzels, and their famous monster milkshakes. It's not just for photos. The food tastes as good as it looks. Monster Milkshake - Break Me Off a Piece of That: Not your average milkshake. It came loaded with a chocolate ice cream bar, crushed vanilla waffle cone, and Kit Kat bars blended into a rich chocolate heaven. German Brats - Pete Brat: Texas bison sausage topped with onions and bell peppers, wrapped in gooey gouda, mozzarella, and cheddar. This is my favourite! Summer Special - Maui Beef Brat: Sweet with mango habanero sauce, grilled pineapple, teriyaki mayo, and jalapeños. Super unique combo. Curry Fries: Crispy fries piled high with currywurst slices, curry ketchup, and mayo. Perfect comfort snack. Massive Soft Pretzels: Golden, chewy, and the ultimate Gastown shareable snack (though I wouldn't mind finishing one myself). This spot is a gem in the neighbourhood. Brat Haus really levels up casual food and milkshakes into something fantastic and playful. We'll definitely be back. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: Eatery Kids: 3/5 Yay! Price: $20-$30 each person (lunch) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: Finding street parking in the area is a significant challenge. There is paid underground parking at the International Village Mall. Tips: * Self-serve sauce counter for those who like to add extra flavours. * Best options for a pre-game snack before Rogers Arena or a late-night bite in Gastown. * Can play an old-school Pac-Man machine while you wait. Would I Return: Yes

I came…read moreby around 7pm. it's a smaller, cozy spot with limited seating, so keep that in mind if you're coming with a group or during peak times. Service is a little slow, looks like the cashier is also the cook. I ordered the Porky meal ($19), and the hotdog was delicious. Great flavor, nice snap, and I'm definitely interested in trying more of their menu options next time. The fries, though, were a bit of a miss for me. They were not super fresh, and the seasoning had a funky taste I didn't love. Might just be a personal preference, but I'd probably skip them next time. Overall, great vibe, solid food, and worth a second visit. Looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu!

Finally got around to dining in - had Jollibee a few times as delivery…read more It was pretty clean and bright inside, with decent noise control. Service was very quick and efficient. The Pineapple quencher was so good / I would return just for the juice haha. - Peach Mango pie was warm and the center wasn't overly sweet so that's a plus! Spaghetti had a nice sweetness to it, however temperature wise, it leaned towards lukewarm - which was okay, but definitely could have been warmer. The chicken itself, flavor was okay - however I think the batter could have been coated more, as it lacked a proper crunch - and in terms of the spicy piece, to me it was not spicy , way to mild in my opinion.

I like they have options for different sides and went with the mac and cheese and got a strawberry cream pie to finish it off. The wrap was a good size with good filling. I like the pies tasted fried, but seems there were put on a heat for a while. There's interior seating and some benched outside, but I'm not sure if it's exclusive to Popeyes. The staff seems a bit new as they just opened, but hope things smooth out going forward.
