    a table with a menu on it

    This is not a traditional café. I was looking for a breakfast place on the way to the Temple. This was right on the way so I thought I'd give it a shot. But when I got inside, I realize it's actually a Chinese restaurant. I'm ordering anyway. We'll see how god or bad the food is. I'm ordering the chicken and cheese omelette. I asked the server what kind of cheese. She said It was at the yellow kind. I asked if there was options. She said no one kind of shoes. I got coffee and it was not very strong and the cream came and little creamers like you get at a gas station. So I know this is not going to be an amazing, dining experience, but a boys got to eat. I asked for water when I first got here with coffee. She repeated it back to me and I said yes cold water and hot coffee. She didn't bring me water. The omelette wasn't the tastiest but it had a lot of chicken. Which was nice. I got water when I asked again.

    Tea.

    Better than Bon's Off Broadway. Kyle's is the very definition of greasy spoon. An abundance of cheap, fried breakfast and lunch items fill the menu. Your choice of Chinese and/or Western. We ordered their Sunrise breakfast featuring 2 pancakes, 2 sausages, 2 bacon strips, two eggs, 2 toast and hash-browns for about $7. As you can see in the photos, if the pancakes had been on the griddle for another 10 seconds, they would've been burnt. Everything else, however, came out okay but nothing exceptional. We also ordered their chicken chow mein and sweet and sour shrimp combo. The portion of chow mein was quite large, and very greasy, as to be expected. I did not find an abundance of shredded chicken, however. The shrimp was heavily battered and crispy. The tangy sweet and sour sauce gave it a nice kick. This place was quite busy with several locals/regulars who knew each other by name. Service was excellent. Parking on the side streets nearby was free and abundant, even on a Saturday morning. Not the best place to eat, but you can expect to leave very full for under $10 per person.

    It's a very strange feeling to be eating food that tastes ok while sensing an inherent warning about the quality of the ingredients. Similar to the feeling you get when you are drunk and happy, but know that any more booze will result in disaster, Kyle's Café offers cheap diner style food that is likely all cooked on the same, unwiped grill. But some people have a large tolerance to aging grease, and those fortunate few will find that Kyle's is a decent, very friendly restaurant just south of Commercial Drive Skytrain Station. With a large menu and plenty of "Chinese-Canadian" options, it's a fine venue to take a friend for a slow afternoon breakfast. The seating is nice, with some tables on raised platforms next to the plate glass storefront windows. And the décor is pleasant and quaint, almost a perfect recreation of the Chinese-Canadian theme. Perfect for story telling and undisturbed gossip sessions, Kyle's Café has its own brand of class, it just has nothing to do with the quality of the food. But what can you expect from a $2.95 breakfast?

    Yum! Loved this stuff.

    Food was great. Had the stir fried beef in soy sauce flat rice noodle and the bbq prok fried rice. Coffee was topped often and service was friendly.

    Best authentic food we have ever tasted! Very helpful…read moreservers creating an unforgettable experience! Don't expect a traditional North American sit down romantic dining room experience. The restaurant is very busy and face paced! Food comes out quickly, but no pressure to eat and leave. Staff are genuine and want you to enjoy the authentic food and experience! Pheona was helpful and made it even more fun! It exceeded our expectations! We would definitely eat here again when we are in Vancouver!

    How did I not know about Chinatown BBQ until now?!…read more I've found my new holy grail because this is hands-down the best BBQ duck and BBQ pork I have ever had! We started with a plate of the BBQ Duck, and it was absolute perfection--packed with so much lean, incredibly flavorful meat. Then we ordered the Signature Four Treasures Chef's Plate on Steamed Rice. Talk about a masterpiece! It comes with BBQ Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken, Roasted Pork, and half a Salty Duck Egg. Honestly, every single element was so delicious that I genuinely couldn't pick a favorite. To top off an already amazing meal, their black lychee tea was out of this world. I loved it so much I actually asked if I could buy some to take home! They don't retail it, but the staff was so sweet and told me, "You can drink as much as you like here." Challenge absolutely accepted! The staff kept it perfectly topped up the entire time. Excellent food, wonderful service, and all the cozy, classic vibes. More cha cha cha please! I will definitely be back.

    All I can say is that everything at this restaurant was on point…read more Unfortunately, there was horrible traffic (due to the Marathon closures), and we were 1/2 hour late! But the wonderful hostess accommodated us, and I am so glad that she did! I cannot remember everything that we ate, but I know we got pork belly, dumplings, and duck rice cakes. OMG - everything was perfectly and authentically prepared! The wait staff was wonderful and so helpful with ordering and suggestions for eating. What a wonderful experience! We cannot wait to go back to Vancouver and eat at Bao Bei AGAIN!!

    I would rate the 2.5 stars out of 5. We had a reservation…read morefor 6pm , soon after we arrived the restaurant packed up quickly. Almost all the tables were full. They have a selection of snacks and small plates.tapas style and meant for sharing. We ordered a couple of item, they came one by one about 10 minutes apart. The dishes would have tasted so much better if they had came all together. The kitchen couldn't keep up with all the orders. We sat right front of the kitchen where you can see through. The dishes were coming out very slowly. Mautou The short ribs were overcooked and kinda tough to chew. The daikon radish on it was delicious. The plate was sitting for a while so it was not very hot when we got it Dumpling Steamed prawn and scallop dumpling. It was nice and hot. Filling was very good. The wrapper was horrible, it tastes like the cheap super market kind. Sablefish Delicious. Very soft . Didn't feel very Asian . More French style Pea shots Highly recommend by the server. The vegetables was very old and half of it was tough to chew. The tips were edible. It was also sitting for a while before we received it. It was not hot. Barely warm Not very impressed with this place. It's probably the most expensive and worst tasting Chinese food we had. Was not satisfied

    Came here for a Chinese wedding reception and the whole place was reserved for us…read more The food was a set menu and everything on it was yummy and well prepared. I like the way they portioned it and served each of us. They did not skimp out on the ingredients, such as if they say whole abalone, it really is. They definitely served the best seafood. The dessert also was amazing with the brown sugar cake and tapioca pudding. The only reason 1 star was missing was that parking was not that easy and service was mostly good. At times, some staff were not was attentive such as: they took the chopsticks away, but you still needed them. Still, Kirin is solid for it's dim sum and seafood!

    以高級餐廳來說食物品質已經不太行了。不過最讓人失望的是服務態度非常差。當天用餐人不多,但上菜速度卻非常慢,點了四道菜,結果兩道菜先上了,後面兩道等了45分鐘都沒上,想加點白飯和要水也等了很久才有人處理…read more整個過程都感覺被怠慢。 不知道是不是因為我們沒有點高價海鮮或其他高單價餐點,服務人員的態度顯得相當冷淡,讓人用餐體驗大打折扣。以這樣的價位來說,這樣的服務品質實在無法接受。整體感受非常差,不會再訪,也不推薦。 As a high end restaurant, the food quality was below average. However, what truly disappointed me was the poor service. Even though the restaurant was not busy, the dishes were served very slowly. The first 2 dishes came out fast, but the later 2 dishes came out after 45 min. When we asked for additional rice and water, we had to wait an unusually long time. Throughout the meal, we felt neglected. It was hard not to feel that the level of service was noticeably indifferent, possibly because we did not order any high-priced seafood or premium dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, the service was simply unacceptable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would not return and would not recommend it.
