The elderly couple was a bit abrasive and rough around the edges back then, but more so now. The behavior and mannerisms of this couple combined is very comparable to Seinfeld's 'Soup Nazi'. I politely asked the old woman (others refer to her as toothless) if I may take a picture of the menu and she practically had a heart attack. She screamed - "If you take a picture, I will kick you out of this place!". The old man also had a sarcastic tone in his voice when I asked about mayo in the chicken salad sandwich. The mushroom soup was pretty good and the chicken salad filling was OK. The house baked bread was the only thing that really made this whole experience bearable. It appears as though that these two seniors are set in their miserable, toxic and irritating ways and are too proud to make a change for the better.

I've always seen Big Star Sandwich company come up on my Uber Eats app and have always wanted to…read moretry them. Today, being yet another "forgot to pack a lunch" days, I went ahead and ordered a Number 02 combo (Turkey). Order was delivered to my workplace via Uber Eats. Unwrapping the sandwich, I could tell that I was in for a treat. From the soft bun, to the fresh crisp veggies, and the portion size of their regular, I was already jonesing to take my first bite. On this particular sandwich, I opted for the extra additions of cucumber, onions, and Mack sauce. The veggies crunched beneath my teeth and I bit into the sandwich and the soft, textured bun ripped cleanly. This is a great combination of sensory experience in a tasty sandwich; the light flavours of the sauces mixing perfectly with the savoury/sweet Turkey meat? It was just on point. A hint of bacon flavour came through as this sandwich does include it, and the tomato shined just enough striking its perfect balance within. The guacamole was pleasant although not exactly flavourful, but added a nice creamy texture to compliment the sandwich overall, so no points lost. I'll always order to have avocado over not so I'm not complaining in the least. The overall combination of light and subtle, dare I say "clean" flavours, sat within a textural matinee of crunch, crisp, soft, squish, creamy, savoury, sweet, and salty? I'll definitely be ordering this one again. I also got a side of a water, and an Elmans Big Pickle. Not much to say about either besides they're what you'd expect them to be. Next time I order from Big Star, and there *will be a next time*, lll make sure to dine in, so I can get the whole package upfront. If their decor is anything like their dishes (clean, fresh, balanced, deliciously paired), they'll have a definite repeat customer as far as I'm concerned, not that they don't have me hooked already~! 10/10, will eat from again

Haida Sandwich recently opened in the heart of Coquitlam's downtown core, near Coquitlam Centre, on…read morePinetree Way, where the old Mochi Donuts used to be located. I tried two sandwiches: the Haida Hot, rated 4/5 and priced at $17.99, and the Haida Royal, rated 3/5 at $21.99. I also ordered a small pizza, the Haida Pizza, which was rated 3/5 and costs $16.99. Both sandwiches were good; the bread was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. They were a decent size and made neatly, the addition of hickory stick chips inside the sandwiches is a interesting touch. The pizza was okay, but for its small size, it would be best suited for a child to eat on their own. The size reminded me of the pizza that McDonald's used to offer, and at $17, I found it a bit steep. Overall, the service was good. The staff recommended the most popular items, which was helpful since it was my first visit to Haida. However, I do think the prices are a bit high for what you get.

New Restaurant in Central Coquitlam... Persian Sandwiches,…read morePizza and Specialty Fries. The place has just opened recently (August, 2025) and everything is still new and shiny. A Lot of attention and care was put into the design of the place and it shows; neon lights and signs as well as the design of the wall art and a large padded booth in the corner that could comfortably seat a party of 6-8 hungry patrons. And, best of all the management make sure that the tables, floor and bathroom are sparkling clean. We order two of their specialty sandwiches... The Haida Hot and The Meat Lovers and washed them down with Delster (Non-Alcoholic Beer from Iran. The food was simple but good hearty and filling... The drinks were light and refreshing. There was a nice assortment of Persian Music playing at a reasonable volume in the background. This place is close to Coquitlam Centre Mall... SkyTrain Lincoln Station and Lafarge Lake-Douglas It would make a good stop to get a Picnic Lunch before going for a walk around Lafarge Lake... Or, afterwards if you worked up a good hunger. It's open from 11am until 11pm... So, Lunch, Dinner, or Late Night Snack. I Highly Recommend this Restaurant

I came here on a Thursday and got the Chicken Quesadilla special for $10.50. The Chicken Quesadilla is nothing special. It wasn't very cheesy and it tasted very bland. It had chicken, pepper, mushrooms and cheese in it. The weekly special came with a salad. I said I wanted ranch dressing and instead they gave me balsamic vinegar dressing. The place is ran by 2 Koreans ladies. So on Monday and Tuesday, they have Korean bibimbap and Chicken Teriyaki rice available. All their items on the menu are very basic. Nothing special. They serve their food in a very flimsy container. The bag that they put the food in is not even big enough for the container so when you bring it back be careful. One of my sour cream container for my quesadilla fell out. Luckily I asked for extra quesadilla. This is mostly a sandwich place. You don't get to make your own sandwich creation here. Overall, everything is made fresh on the spot. Ingredients looked fresh. But portion size is not worth it. It is small. This is not a restaurant. It is a hole in the wall and the place is hidden behind a bunch of bushes and tree. There is a free parking in front of the sandwich place. Because of the location, it is tailored to the people who work in the area

We were frustrated and a little moody, but the food sounded good so we changed plans and went a little closer to our Air BnB. There was a bit of a wait, but it wasn't too bad.

Waitress, Janet I believe was her name, delightful, she was so bright and nice, had us smiling every time she came to the table. The food was good, the service was great. Overall, an amazing experience. Thank you!

The spacious layout makes it an ideal spot to gather with family, catch up with friends, or even meet with coworkers for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and relaxed, yet still has a lively buzz that makes it feel welcoming and energetic. Their drink menu is full of unique and delicious options, and the display of sweet treats is hard to resist. The food is consistently flavorful, well-seasoned, and thoughtfully prepared. Every bite was enjoyable, but the standout for me was the croissant--perfectly buttery, incredibly flaky, and absolutely irresistible. I could have eaten another one without hesitation! It's easy to see why this place has become a local favorite. With great food, creative drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere, it's the kind of spot you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.

My favourite is the smoked duck but the lemongrass chicken is also delicious. I absolutely love cilantro and they are generous with it, so if it's not for you, just ask them to omit. There are a few tables available for those who wish to eat in. It's a nice and clean spot with very pleasant staff. They have an online ordering system but I've only used it a few times. It's nice to order while I'm there, as the people are so friendly and it's nice to chat while my food or drinks are being prepared. They have excellent juice and smoothie options as well as Vietnamese coffee. They bake their bread and Kouign Amann pastries fresh every day which makes all the difference. I'm glad to have this place as a lunch option when I go to the office. In fact, my company will also order sandwiches from Minh when we have a special event or something at the office. Highly recommended.

They bake the bread in house everyday and you can really taste the difference. The chicken was so juicy! They also make all the coffee orders completely fresh and Tim asked me how I like my coffee (strong/light, sweet/less sweet) so you can customize your perfect cup. As an avid coffee person, I really appreciated that. I'll definitely revisit to try some other items. The shop was also really clean with lots of seating.
