    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.

    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
