Great food and Service!…read more Perfect spot to go to on a rainy night in Vancouver. Mac and Cheese is amazing!

I ordered a carrot cake for a family function this weekend and picked it up this afternoon. The…read morecake was ordered with no nuts. When I picked it up, the cake was falling apart in two places and the server told me that the baker had made it three times but it was "too sticky" whatever that means. She gave me a discount so I paid $40 instead of $45. To be honest, the cake looked pretty awful. My husband was reluctant to take it to the family function as it continued to fall apart by the time we got home 20 minutes later. He tasted the cake and it was hard and stale tasting. We were very disappointed that we paid $40 for this disaster. I am making a cake as I write this review.

Came here a little too late to get their freshly baked bread but did get a chance to try their…read morecranberry scone and cinnamon bun. Both were delicious especially when heated up, even a day later. Pretty sad that I missed the whole loaves of bread but will definitely be back to try. If their baked goods are as good as their loaves, I definitely won't be disappointed.

Came in with high expectations, left feeling disappointed. Fish was just ok with soggy wet batter…read more The clam chowder bowl was good but not really mind blowing like I've had before. The star of the show, surprisingly, was the coleslaw and the fries. Service was friendly and they checked on you often, filled your water. Atmosphere wasn't the most enjoyable as you can't really hear your table talk because the staff are having TOO good of a time working and laughing. While I think it's great to have a workplace where employees enjoy where they work, it didn't make a nice dining experience for us. Overall, Jack's is just mid level fish and chips... but I don't think I'll be back. Followed your story on IG for a while so I wish you all the best.

Good food. Fries was very good and fish too…read more Service was good. Cashier was friendly and helpful. Simple, small nook. I hope they can expand. It was jam packed today.

Over the years, I've managed to eat at their previous three restaurants, and finally made it to…read morethis one, the last one standing. The food, the ambience, the service are all outstanding Creative and comforting vegan food done really well. Like in the previous location, staff are attentive and caring I really hope this location survives in this challenging economy for restaurants.

I've been here twice now and both times the food has been delicious…read more I love the menu is clearly labeled allergen menu. I'm dairy (all vegan here) and gluten free. My boyfriend loved this place and he got a chikken burger and fries. I got one of their specials for the week. Both meals hit the spot for us. There is parking but would recommend looking around the neighborhood behind the restaurant for a good spot.

Came here for Valentine's Day. My husband and I both love soup curry from this exact chain in…read moreSapporo, so when we discovered they had a location here, we had to check it out. The space was clean and our food arrived fairly quickly. We ordered the fried chicken and beef brisket soup curry. The spices weren't as strong and fragrant as the one we had in Sapporo which is what made it so memorable for me the first time. It was also a bit salty for my liking. But the fried chicken piece was about double the size than the one in Sapporo! Perfectly juicy and the crispiness is a nice contrast to the soup and soft vegetables. Beef brisket was soft and tender but would pick the fried chicken over the brisket. The rice was a bit lackluster compared to the more fragrant one in Sapporo. It's hard to compete with soup curry from the motherland, but this is still worth trying if you're looking for something different from the usual ramen or sushi.

Very interesting place on the ground floor of Aberdeen. Note that this is NOT traditional Japanese…read morecurry. This is soup curry, it is much more soupy. You sit down and order from a kiosk. I guess that's the trendy thing. They give you rice refills. The soup - I ordered the kakuni pork belly curry soup. The Kakuni is really really well done. Very tender and soft, absolutely wonderful. I also liked all of the other veggies - broccoli tomatoes corn etc. the soup is on the peppery side but has a great soft flavour to it. I also added eggplant which had great texture. The rice is also very unique. It is more like whole grained rice and feels healthy. Its texture contrasts with the soup and goes well with it I think. Don't expect traditional curry but if you're open to something new this is an enjoyable meal.

We were going to go to a usual lunch spot of ours, but I've had my eye on Burgoo for a while…read more Here we go.... Walking into a rustic and cozy eatery while a friendly smile from a far welcomes us with every step handing us a menu and seating us in the cutest little booth right by the window overlooking charming Burrard street. I fell in love with the menu right away because it has all my favourite comfort foods. Take a look at the menu....you'll see.... We got the Soup & Salad combo (Mushroom Medley and FAB salad). .........The soup was everything a Mushroom Medley should be. Perfect proportions, spectacular seasoning and spot on temperature. (Yes, I've been served luke-warm soup before. It was not pretty.) The FAB salad. It was well....Fab. Every single ingredient was fresh. Every single one, and topped with red onion. Not adding red onion into a salad is like.....not adding basil to your pasta sauce. They got every detail covered. The Sandwich & Salad (Tasty Chicken Sandwich with FAB salad.) ...........The Chicken Sandwich was the best I've ever had. Just try it. You'll see. The FAB salad....well...we already covered that cutie. The service was warm, friendly, attentive and professional. With this place, aside from their kickass food, what really impressed me was their attention and care to detail. To the point where, when I asked for ice water....the glass was spotless, the water filled not too full and not lacking topped with a Fresh Cut Lemon Wedge. Obviously you have the tasty food, Quality service, and Clean Establishment that render a restaurant as great, but in my book, it's the little things that hoist it up to Excellent. And that is exactly what this place was. Excellent.

What a fun find in downtown Vancouver. I was looking for a good burger place while visiting the…read morecity. This place was just down the street so I thought I'd try it. The entrance is down a level from the Main Street. It's a comfortable place with good decor and friendly staff. The hostess was very nice and helpful with great suggestions. So glad we tried the Aussie poutine because it was great! Seasoned fries, peppery gravy and melted cheese; what's not to like. The dud burger was good, as were the onions rings. I wanted to try the Roo burger because when do you get the chance to try kangaroo? It was ok but not really my taste. The beers on draft are a good mix with lots of mixed drinks to choose from as well. I'm glad we tried this place and would definitely try it again if I'm ever in town. Go to Moose's Down Under and get a pint with your poutine!

Another Dragon Bowl location located in a strip mall next to Aberdeen Center. It has a small…read moreparking lot, but walkable from Canada Line side of Aberdeen. You pick your protein, base and sauce and then can add 3 side dished in it's own container on top. However, the side dish tray cuts down the portion of the actual bowl. I got curry beef ($12.88) on brown rice (+$1) and woodear mushroom, spicy shredded potatoes and bean spouts. It's mainly a take out spot and only have a couple of tables. They offered water during eat in. Would drop by again for a quick take out meal

The lamb shoulder was equally good, with the meat absorbing the sauce perfectly. Both types of noodles we tried were springy with the perfect chew, providing a satisfying texture that complemented the proteins well. The braised egg was flavorful, with a rich, savoury taste that added an extra layer of indulgence. For our sides, we opted for black fungus, bean sprouts, celery and carrots, and corn. Each vegetable was fresh, adding a balance of crunch and subtle sweetness that elevated the overall dish. The variety of textures and flavours from the sides made every bite more dynamic and enjoyable.

So sad, this had been a go to spot for so many years as my kids went through university and now…read morethat we have moved here we have looked forward to more visits . Then one weekend after waiting in line ( more than a year ago) we ordered breakfast only to be told they had run out of potatoes! What!!! This was such an unbelievable disappointment , we didn't return until today to give it another chance. There haven't been any wait lines outside for months and perhaps today I understand why. I ordered the Florentine Bennie , they had potatoes today, but they were cold and undercooked, the spinach was so salty it was difficult to eat, there was an overall sour taste. When asked if everything was okay when the server picked up my half eaten plate I explained my experienced, they asked if I wanted something else, I said no. We did not get a discount or an apology . I shouldn't have to ask, and I understand why there are no longer lines waiting to get in. Maybe it started with potatoes with me but obviously it runs deeper internally. So sorry Sophie's , what's up in your kitchen...we noticed your server did not feel comfortable enough to let the kitchen know at the point of return...sigh

Decided to finally give this spot a go - and my conclusion is, I think it's a tourist trap!…read more It's not bad, however it wasn't that good neither. The decor within is super clustery and messy looking, however for a old school diner, I guess that makes sense? - place was pretty clean for the most part. - very packed and quite noisy - The service team was super friendly, and checked on you frequently. Tried the BC Wild Sockeye Salmon Burger - with a side of fries - nothing special with the fries, they did there part. The Salmon however, was very bland - parts were soft, where most of it was just a dry blob. - lettuce did not taste fresh and bits was changing color.

Came here again and again this was a heavenly experience. Menu is not as extensive as last time…read more Just a couple of different bowl selections. They had a 3 bowl special with tuna bowl, salmon bowl and A5 Wagyu bowl which my son said was nice and fatty. I got a special garlic tuna bowl. The thing you notice is the absolute quality of each item. The small fresh garlic with wooden pastel that lets me hand grind it myself. The in house custom soy sauce with garlic chips. The ikura fish roe. The wonderful tuna tartare that goes super nice with the rice and sauce. The quality of the fresh tuna. The bowl is not big but quality is oozing out of every ounce. Just a top notch Japanese food experience.

Sister restaurant to Kingyo, Raisu... etc. you know they're going to DELIVER!

Everything was super delicious and the atmosphere was unique with a bowling theme. Famous for bowls. Bowling. Get it?? It was a cool casual environment with exceptional service. We overheard them explaining the meals and further questions well. We enjoyed their beer offerings too! We did see a high chairs but to note that this restaurant is upstairs so be mindful if bringing a stroller.
