A mix of Chinese and western food. Baked rice and pasta. Sandwiches. Bubble tea. Smoothies. There are promotions with daily special. You can order with the cashier or the self service checkout. I think it's faster to order with the cashier. You will get a beeper if you do. I ordered via self checkout as I didn't notice there's a cashier. It took me at least 5 mins as a first time customer to use the self check out kiosk due to the huge menu to scroll etc. I didn't have a beeper. Then I noticed people ordering from the cashier. They got their food faster than me. I asked about my order. Turned out it was sitting there at the back counter for a while. I had the chicken steak in black pepper sauce. It came with a huge portion of rice, fried egg and steam veggies. I added a HK milk tea which was nice. The food is enough for 2 small meals. It is pretty tasty. I like how it comes served with a lid so it is easier to take out or keep for leftovers. I think they need better or clearer instruction on the ordering process.

catching up with a friend over lunch at brentwood mall's food court at 1:00 pm on a monday, the…read morekind of unhurried afternoon that feels intentionally left open. no agenda, no rush, just time to wander, talk, and slowly narrow down what sounded good. we made a few laps around the food court, carefully deliberating, circling back to places we had already dismissed, only to reconsider them again. eventually, we stopped in front of o' kitchen's menu, which immediately pulled us in. the photos were bright and inviting, but the real hook was the sign announcing 20% off on mondays. it felt like a small but meaningful nudge, the kind that turns indecision into action. it was a hong kong style shop offering comforting staples like pasta, soups, signature buns, sandwiches, and a wide variety of bubble tea drinks. after much careful consideration, i decided on the mango, pomelo, and sago drink. with the monday discount in place, it felt like an easy choice. i paid at the cashier, was handed a pager, and we settled back into our conversation, letting time pass naturally. about 7 minutes later, the pager beeped, a small interruption that briefly put our conversation on pause. the drink itself was refreshing, though lighter than expected. slightly watered down, with chunks of grapefruit, bits of mango, and soft sago throughout, it leaned subtle rather than rich and creamy. in the end, it was exactly what a monday lunch should be: a casual, calm setting to catch up with a friend, an easy decision guided by a discount, and a pause in the day that felt both unhurried and therapeutic.

Shared food court seating, which could get crowded during peak periods, however there is generally plenty available. My craving sort of back fired, as i found the bao lacking in flavor , also it looks pretty bare compared to other peoples - and i didn't opt out of any of the toppings , that I assume should have been in there? - the pork belly itself was soft and melt in your mouth though. There was quite a bit of hype around the chicken, however I found it slightly underwhelming - it didn't have much of the peppery taste, but some pieces were very salty. In terms of portion, I don't exactly feel the value was there, feel like there could have been at least a few more pieces of chicken - but maybe that's just me. May or may not re-visit.

I also made a reservation for my group a couple of days ago but they didn't write it on the daily calendar (only on their phone notes?) so I had to wait for a table as they didn't have one ready.

I was impressed that from one corner I spotted theatres, dining options, retailers, banks and a drug store. My favorite area is the huge outdoor plaza. Open sky, seating, dancing fountains and a waterfall. Nice even for pets. Perfect spot for having a coffee. Concierge, gift wrapping, coat and parcel check, escalators and elevators are available to enhance a guest's experience. There is a variety of retailers such as Urban Outfitter, L.L. Bean, Rogers, Sporting Life, Nike, Eyes Inspire and Sephora to name a few. Royal Bank, Van City Credit Union, Canada Post and Dental offices are some of the businesses that have set up shop here too. You have to have dining choices and there are over 30 right now to please the appetite. I've been to Japa Dog, Saboten and Cazba in their deluxe food court. All were surprisingly five star experiences......impressive for a grab and sit down casual meal! Earl's kitchen and Bar, Bow and Stern and Hello Nori are on my radar for my next visit. Pay parking seems to dominate the areas I've parked in my five visits to this center- unless you are visiting a financial institution for under 30 mins or have it validated by certain retailers like London Drugs. Tip: Remember where you parked. All the levels look the same! LOL

Amazing Brentwood is pretty amazing for offering lots of cuisine choices - cozy food outlets that…read moredelivers an unique ambiance. London drugs is also bigger and better here -- it recently reopened at a better location inside this mall with entry from the plaza and drew a huge crowd on the May re-opening date. I think Amazing Brentwood offers much better value since its opening and their ratings have gone up from 1 star in my books, ever since they updated their parking signage. I appreciate that they improved from their early opening days in 2022/2023. Now, it's easier to find their parking lots with free 3 hour parking and more convenient to pay via scanning of a QR code. In addition, there are four restaurants here that offer complimentary underground parking for 2 hours. Overall I am pleased with their service and they offer good value. It's amazing for convenience where it groups together good shopping brands like Lululemon and Sephora plus reputable Asian and Western cuisine such as Hadilao, Neptune, Earl's, Tap & Barrel, Bow & Stern, and La queria etc all in one location. I would recommend Brentwood for their spacious parking lots, cleaner food court environment, underground parkade on rainy days and for the various restaurants at Brentwood with happy hour options.

Whenever I'm in the area and craving a noodle soup, I'll get either the Laksa or Tom Yum soup base, with rice noodles, beef balls and enoki mushrooms. I went recently in March and decided to step outside of my comfort zone by ordering the beef dry noodle, and the reality of it was pretty true to the expectation --- dry ---. Haha. And flavourless. I'm glad I ordered my tried-and-true soup on the side because, without it, my throat might have been as dry as the Sahara. BUT I'm still glad I gave it a try because now my curiosity is gone!

Milk tea: their iced milk tea is really good, but today I ordered hot milk tea and it wasn't good at all. It was so watered down with zero milk tea flavour. Bubble waffle: this was the highlight of my meal. It was made fresh...the outside was crispy and the inside was chewy with a sweet eggy flavour.

Even though it's just a small food court stall, the quality of the dishes makes it worth a visit.
