    If my calculation is accurate this place can house over 50 guests at a time. Neat place with huge paintings of different cuisines on the wall matching the restaurants wooden table and chairs, very cool ambience. Very chic, very beautiful, very relaxing. Those walls are so instagrammable. Free wifi and free parking. Good for group, family and kids friendly. Accept major credit cards, debit and cash. Excellent service few tables occupied when i came but still the server was very friendly. Washrooms needs a slight make over and more effort to clean and sanitize. At a glance at their menu you will thought of them as very affordable but the catch in here is.... for the skewers say 0.99c cheap but then it says there minimum order is 10 pieces so thats $9.99 plus tax. Just be mindful of those items. I got the beef tendon skewers, minimum of 5 pieces, tender and some part were juicy and just melts in your mouth, somewhat addictive it was just so good. then I also ordered the squid tentacles- this one minimum of 10 skewers, to be honest tendons were so good but i love this one better, juicy, not gummy and the spices they put, just awesome, every single flavors explode in my mouth, my yelper taste buds were so happy and satisfied. The best, it reminds me of the street foods in the night market in Richmond. Fried rice serves really hot, fresh and newly cooked, still smoking, smells so good, i got the seafood fried rice, presentation was so nice but taste was just the regular chinese fried rice.. nothing really special but not bad. Pork chop this really blown me away, the best pork chop i've ever tasted lately, Thinly sliced and breaded then deep fried served with powdered spices looks like paprika, cinnamon and hot chili, Smells really good, crispy outside and tender inside, blending of the spices and the meat was just awesome. Food quality based on my orders were 4-5 stars For sure the pork chop will always be a part of my order everytime i'll visit this bbq place. Frogs and crawfish are available in here, but they are expensive and huge serving for group, I am alone when i came so not advisble to spend that much money....Alcoholic beverages are available. I admired this concept of bringing Chinese street foods on the table....KUDOS! I have no problem with the service my orders came into a timely manner. Pricing: A bit pricey in here but worth. Noise level is average. 100% I will visit again.......

    Had a great time at Kuan Zhai Road on Kingsway. Located across from Chosun, this BBQ spot isn't as busy as the kbbq or happy tree down the street. It's still very tasty and has plenty of seats and cool AC. We got an assortment of skewers, noodles, appetizers and fish to share. My favourites were the cold tofu, beef skewers and the fish. They also have a robot that brings you your food!

    This time I ventured out to the Vancouver Kingsway area to try out Kuan Zhai Road's Chinese skewers. They have a great selection! Aside from skewers they also serve fire pot and a variety of Jiangnan China dishes. We ordered the Chicken / Squid Tentacles / Beef/Lamb / Chicken Wing Skewers + Spicy Clam & Vermicelli + Butter Corn. Most of the skewers use a similar dry spice rub that really flavours them up! The chicken and chicken wings have a sweet honey marinade to it that was pretty good as well but the wings did lack a bit flavour inside and could have used a bit more time marinating. A very meat filling meal and we were all stuffed by the end!

    Kuanzhai Road Restaurant was one of the restaurants I was excited to come to when I visited Vancouver because when you say Kuanzhai, you'll think of the Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu. I was excited to try its BBQ skewers and other delectables. Sadly, whatever was served here did not make me think about that one bit. Kuanzhai Road is in the Burnaby region and is one of a few Chinese restaurants that open super late. I came here after 10pm looking for a quick bite and had planned to come back for a fuller meal during the daytime, but we did not come back. When I first came in here, it immediately didn't feel very comfortable. There was this sticky feeling. The table was sticky and I kept staring at the black plates and chopsticks questioning their cleanliness. This restaurant serves the typical Chengdu fare along with BBQ skewers. The skewers aren't cheap and you have to order a minimum amount, so it's difficult to try many things. I wanted to try something that I couldn't get where I was from, so I ordered lamb kidney and lamb testes. They were $4.99 per skewer and I had to order two. For both the skewers, the meat was in larger pieces. Both kidneys and testicles were prepared so, so poorly. They were both tough, dry, overcooked, had no char, had absolutely zero salt, and poorly seasoned. There appeared to be a lot of spices and seasoning, but I couldn't taste any of it. Both the meat and the seasoning and spices felt like they were all expired and old, and all the taste and flavor has gone. They were terrible!!! What an utter disappointment! We also ordered a bowl of rice noodle, and the old and expired theme applied here too. This bowl of noodle soup had slices of beef, beef tripe, and beef stomach, and they all had an off putting taste. The broth almost had no taste. Did this restaurant run out of salt or something? It was a sad and dull bowl of rice noodle soup. This was an awful experience. The quality of the food was well below average, and the preparation was the same. The service was nonexistent, and failed to really listen to us. Everything just felt gross and the food was gross. We just wanted to finish and get the heck out of there! This was by far the worst experience on my trip!

    Another BBQ place named after famous CHENGDU tourism place, open late for supper so we decided to give it a try. Service is very good, not easy during the pandemic season, a lot of restaurant are having less waiters to save cost, but they still have full team working, need to support for local business like this. The restaurant is very big, has parking at front, but very limited. Talking about the food, i loved the Tofu, the small lobster and the lamb. We were told their BBQ fish is very good, need come to try next time.

    I came to this place upon the recommendation of my friends. The value of this place is above average since their portions are generous for the prices. The flavor of the food is also good. However, unless you ask for low-sodium or no MSG, the food may taste a bit on the over-seasoned side. I found myself needing to constantly drink water after visiting this place. Also, the wait is very long, so come early or reserve a table.

    Everything was either really salty, spicy, or both. Skewers has the same flavour, and were expensive. The doors to the washroom didn't lock. To add to it all, I ended up with a bad stomachache when I got home. By the way, most items on the menu were spicy.

    Our first stop in Vancouver was at Kuanzhai Road Restaurant. The menu was in both Chinese and English but not everything had an English translation so I had no idea what to order. The waitress recommended chuan chuan xiang (串串香), normal spicy level. We also ordered frog legs (2), lamb skewers (5), bacon and garlic oysters (2), and bacon and garlic scallops. Once we ordered the food, the waitress had us go to this section of the restaurant with refrigerators that contain skewers of all types (ex: chicken, lamb, beef, enoki mushroom, pork, etc). We picked up a few and put them on a tray to be sent to the kitchen to put in our chuan chuan hotpot. The chuan chuan hotpot tasted really good but was too spicy for me. The frog legs and lamb skewers had a slight kick to them but were nowhere as spicy - thank goodness! I thought that the frog legs tasted very fresh and soft. The oysters and scallops were delicious, sweet, and fresh. Overall, I enjoyed the food and don't have any negative feedback as far as quality, taste, amount, and price goes. The restaurant's customer service could be improved. The waitress almost overcharged us. The table didn't have any utensils on it so we had to ask for them. These aren't huge issues. We will likely come back and keep a close eye on our tab next time.

    So glad i got to visit this delicious little gem. I randomly searched up omakese spots in vancouver…read morea while ago and this place caught my eye. I loved the menu selection so i knew i had to visit it at some point. My gf and i both tried the premium omakese nigiri set and it did not disappoint. I was so full after. I even ordered a few other things on the side. Everything was super fresh and artistically made with dedication. Something i also appreciate about this place is how clean everything was. The place was busy but it wasn't an obnoxious volume .. everyone dining there had good manners too, it wasn't one of those loud party places where you hear drunk people or alcoholics getting rowdy. Parking was super easy to find on the street and it was free. The server was really sweet, patiently waited for my gf and i to order and she gave food tips on how to enjoy the omakese spread like in what order to eat it. She gave good recommendation of which sake to pair with everything i ate. I'd definitely revisit this place and try their lunch specials.

Service was ok - they explained the sky cloud noodle dish but I didnt like the gochujang dipping sauce that much and preferred the tsuyu dipping sauce. Food came out quick, but didn't come by to refill tea. No reservations needed on a Thursday evening but the restaurant filled up fast by the time we left - clearly an elevated neighbourhood favourite. Lots of food options and easy street parking. They also have an underground parkade. I came again a few weeks later and had their salmon oshi - this was very good. The truffle udon was also decent but a bit one -dimensional. Overall, I do like the concept and atmosphere, I just think I haven't ordered the right things to make this a "wow" spot for me. But its good enough that I would come back to order different things until I get there ;)

She said the best sellers were the crab and lobster rolls, but her favorite was the spicy shrimp. She lit up when I said that sounds great. And she was right. She brought it out while I was viewing the yummy pickled offerings and checking out all the other store goodies in this quaint country store. She was proud of it and even opened it to show me. I couldn't resist adding an extra half pound of the ahi poke. I returned to my truck and knew I had to get after the sandwich before getting on the road so there I went. I am a road warrior for work and get into my fair share of sandwiches during a work week. So worth the stop. It was perfect and came with a side of potato salad which didn't disappoint either. Definitely top sandwich I've had this year. The poke was on point and instantly reminded me of being in Hawaii getting my poke to go out of the deli at Foodland. I had to run back in after and tell her thank you for the recommendation and got a high five and a big smile. Go visit. Ask for Hailey. Get the spicy shrimp and poke. You'll be super happy you did.

Have only had their signature seafood pot once; it was fresh though not memorable enough to be something we gravitate towards.

Staff are friendly but understaffed. Once the place filled up they were swamped. Signature steamed seafood pot - definitely on the pricey side, but they don't skimp out. Special mention for the presentation. Plenty of goodies including an entire lobster, half a large octopus (tenticle/arm half), snails, oysters, scallops, prawns, and fish balls among others. Basically everything without fish. Served in a large tray (the ones seen at banquet buffets), and everything cooked in broth. This was enough to probably feed 4-5 adults (assuming average appetites). So pretty. Deep fried squid with fries - honestly this dish was meh. Basically exactly what it sounds like. Squid is tempura style. Nothing special. I'd skip this one. Bossam (pork belly wraps) - served with tofu and spicy kimchi and some vegetable (kelp?) as well. They don't really give enough wraps compared to the pork slices. Decent portion size. My friends and I gobbled this up. This place also serves makgeolli (Korean rice wine) for a very reasonable price. Goes well with the food. Overall my friends and I left happy. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try some other dishes. Recommended.

They offered to split our lobster bisque so we could each have our own. We've also tried their tableside salad and desserts before and enjoyed the shows. My toddler wanted to get a closer look. The ambience is moody with high ceilings, low lighting, and plush seats. There is a constant buzz of conversations around us to provide a bit of intimacy and privacy to our conversations, while also allowing our toddler to be just a bit rowdy without feeling like we are disturbing the other guests. Of the food, I love the mushroom side with the truffle fondue. I wanted to dip everything in it as it was so flavourful and delicious. Complimentary bread with butter and blue cheese butter were offered to start. The brussel sprouts side was also unique with the added pistachios and a crisp for some crunch. The hearty mussels and clams starter were great for a rainy evening. Portion was enough as a meal by itself, too! There is a covered parking lot for those driving. I suggest making reservations as it can be quite busy!

The first time was amazing--the portion was generous and the steak was cooked really well. The second time wasn't quite as impressive, but still enjoyable. This time, however, the Tomahawk was noticeably below the standard I had experienced before. The doneness wasn't quite right, with quite a bit of over-charred exterior, and there was also a lot more fat than I expected. What I found particularly strange was the way the steak was presented this time. Normally, a Tomahawk has the meat on one side of the bone, but this one seemed to have the meat separated into two sections, almost as if it had been cut through the middle of the steak. It just didn't feel like the Tomahawk I was used to having here. The steak also cooled down very quickly, and once it got cold, the texture became noticeably tougher and less enjoyable. The service was also particularly slow this time. We were seated around 7:30 PM and placed our food and drink orders within about 30 minutes. The drinks came out within roughly 20 minutes, which was reasonable, but we waited almost an hour before the first appetizer finally arrived. Considering it wasn't an especially busy evening, the wait felt quite long. That said, the other dishes were still pretty good. I especially enjoyed the Stuffed Squid appetizer. Overall, I still think Alta is a nice option for a small gathering or dinner with friends. I've enjoyed my previous visits, which is why I keep coming back. I just really hope the Tomahawk can return to the quality it had on my first visit.
