Alisha checked in on me several times, but not that hovering kind of check in. I will definitely be back!

I usually have pretty low expectations for bar food because it's often very greasy and heavy, but…read morethis place completely changed my mind. I stopped by to watch the Canada game a few days ago, and I immediately loved the atmosphere. The bar had a cozy and welcoming vibe. I sat at the bar, and the service was warm and attentive. I also noticed they have a small patio in the back, which looks like the perfect spot to enjoy a meal on a summer day. I ordered the chicken burger with a kale salad instead of fries. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the sauce was delicious, and everything came together on a soft, fresh bun. I also appreciated that the burger wasn't oversized - it was just the right portion. The kale salad was equally impressive. It was fresh and lightly dressed. I had such a great time enjoying my meal while watching the game. If you're looking for a comfortable spot to catch a sporting event, especially with a group of three or four people, I would absolutely recommend this place.

The place…read moreis decorated with SLAM magazine covers and signed jerseys, and has a true sports bar feel to it. Furthermore, I feel like a place like this is what Vancouver needs and otherwise lacks: a gathering place for diehard NBA fans in cheer and analyze games together. I've appreciated the service each time I've been to Courtside - staff find a good balance between letting you enjoy the game while also being available (but not pushy) if you want to order more food or drinks. I had a burger and fries at Courtside and found the meal to be decent, however, not spectacular - I think the main attraction is still the atmosphere the place provides

Wow, where do I start with this one?…read more Well, I started by making this Yelp page since it didn't exist yet even though this restaurant's been here a while. Because that's how.......... something something Tower of Babel. There's a sauce bar, from which we made two sauces. One was a sesame paste base. This is my favorite for hot pot. The other, on a recommendation for spicy food in Sichuan style hot pot, is a garlic and oil base. The sesame paste was on-point. All the herbs seemed suitably fresh as well. In addition to beef and fried pork, we ordered an impenetrable array of 3 types of tofu, including the cute tofu skin knots, celtuce?, Chinese yam, crown daisy?, wide vermicelli, duck blood, errr what do you even call this in English....seared rice cake? Not sure if that covers it. Everything was super fresh and great quality. The texture of the pork was almost perfect. Naturally, we got the half and half hot pot. The overall cleanliness of the joint was also top tier for an authentic Chinese restaurant, the bathroom in particular. I've lost count of how many Chinese restaurants I've been to with amazing food and a disgusting bathroom. Lol. Service was also extremely attentive, almost too attentive. They weren't busy, but it's still quite rare for someone to refill my teacup so consistently. Five stars.

The burgers were very dry and nothing special, the fries were lukewarm and soft. The nachos ($24) was the best food item, loaded with toppings.

The restaurant seemed short staffed with only a few servers and it took a long time to take our order, items were forgotten and the staff seemed overwhelmed.

Late night options in Richmond have become sparse nowadays, but thanks to some local insight, my…read moregroup of dining companions and I found ourselves at Spark after midnight during the midweek. Parking is normally a hassle during the daytime, but at night it's a breeze. Strangely, there was still a sign up for paid parking, yet signing an iPad near the bar will somehow negate the charge for 3 hours. Just outside the door, there are also "guards" who patrol the lot on foot (#1) and many cigs are disposed of in the process. It's likely they'll end up at the bar patrolling their own drinks instead. Most Richmond nightlife is very Chinese and Spark is no exception. The staff is multilingual, but most patrons here are Mandarin speaking. Folks have known the place to be a haven for karaoke and nightly food specials, but we were here for cocktails and cocktails only. There was plenty of space and abundant seating in very intimate lighting with a prominent stage. Coming here on a Tuesday, it was a relaxing evening. The wait staff was prompt, and most of our drinks came out quickly. The osmanthus oolong ($19) was semi-refreshing, but not nearly sweet as the white rabbit ($17) or berrily ever after ($18). The moscow mule ($17) looked decent, though I wonder if the zombie ($22) was worth it. The times to be here are absolutely the weekend. All weekend they have live music and more food specials. I think it would be an interesting time to take advantage of one of their private only areas for group time, and while I suspect the food is mid at best, I will likely be back to sample everything they do well. I look forward to this, along with some really quality amateur singing (#1). ____________ (#1) This might be one of the only venues that offer public karaoke
