A rainy day called for soup for dinner. Close to our hotel…read more The restaurant was bright and airy. Plenty of tables for sitting. Tastefully decorated with Thai paintings. I ordered the Tom Ka soup. It is a coconut lemon grass soup. I added chicken to mine. It was full of thinly sliced chicken, onions, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and noodles. I ordered my soup mild. My husband ordered the Tom Yum medium heat level with shrimp as his protein. The medium was the perfect spice level for him. My daughter ordered Laksa soup with chicken and medium spice level. It was yummy. If we are ever in the area again, we will stop.

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 been searching for a good Hainan chicken and rice place whenever I travel and I think I found…read moreone of my favorites at Mamalee. The chicken is so tender and juicy with good flavor and even better if you like to dip it in their home made lightly spicy or ginger sauce. It is fully deboned too. This is the star of the show and a must try if you want to know what Hainan chicken should taste like. I was just at Portland and ate at Nong's Khao Man Gai which is a Thai version of Hainan chicken and Mamalee just blows it away. I will definitely be back to support this small business whenever and as often as I can. Wish they open a location in California or Las Vegas but this gives me a reason to visit Vancouver more often. PS: Free 2 hour parking at International Village Mall.

I thaw these in a disposable foil pan in the fridge for convenience. Then I cut along the top, fold the package in half and squeeze the content out into a pot. Then I use a plastic food scraper to get the rest out. The chicken pie was also very good and packed with a lot of ingredients. It is rich as well and very filling. On hot days I use an element or toaster oven outside to cook these. I plan to be a repeat customer as everything I've had was exceptionally delicious. And I repeat, the value is outstanding for this kind of quality food. Order ahead online and pick up at their window to make sure they have what you want. Or go by their window to order. Great as gifts too! They have soft serve ice cream as well. Check online to see how delicious it looks. Highly recommend.

Great place for refreshingly healthy eats downtown. I mostly do the build-your-own salad bowls,…read morewhere you can combine a variety of interesting "salads" with a base and optional protein of your choosing. The chili-lime tofu, my go-to, is grilled fresh and juicy with a tangy marinade. I find these bowls very filling, but the price adds up quickly as you add more salad scoops, so I find it best to be conservative with my estimate of how much I think I need to eat. Besides the salad bowls, they have some hot entrees. I tried the Moroccan chickpea hot bowl and the tomato soup and both were a little bland, which was especially disappointing for something labelled "Moroccan". I would go back and try some different entrees to see if anything else is better, but I would say the salads are likely the best choice here. They have a very limited selection of "healthy" baked goods too. I really liked the chocolate pistachio cookie. As you would expect, it's significantly less sweet and has a slightly drier texture than a regular cookie, but if you like that kind of "better for you" treat, it's good. Very cocoa-forward. I've had good experiences with the service. The staff is friendly enough and usually pretty fast. It's counter service, but they'll usually bring your food to you at your table. There's a good amount of seating inside and a few tables outside when the weather allows. It's minimalist but clean.

Korean guy at the front waves at us, asks how many people, and directs us to a seat. Then another Korean guy comes over and scolds us, telling us to next time please wait at the front until being seated. Clearly they have some organizational issues here and not a great start to this visit. We place our order. Food for 2 of our 4 arrive about 10 mins later. The food for the other 2 people arrive another 20 mins later. Meanwhile the food for the first 2 ppl just sit there. Thankfully they were in clay pots so it was still warm at least, but this is ridiculous. There is no reason for this. If you're slow to get food out, fine, but bring it all out at once. The restaurant itself is huge, looks like a lounge and bar but mostly empty. The staff are all dressed differently too in street clothes so its hard to tell who works there. They are clearly struggling with understaffing. We had a caucasian waitress who came by to deliver food. She was very nice and friendly. About the food. We ordered: kimchi soondubu - asked for extra spicy, it was barely spicy. beef/seafood mixed soondubu - asked for spicy, it was straight up not spicy. The broth base was the same for each, and lacked depth of flavour. The tofu itself was pretty good, silky smooth, but tofu takes on the flavours of whatever it's cooked with and in this case, not much... The beef in these was just ok and there wasnt much of it. The seafood in the mixed one amounted to 1 clam and 1 shrimp shell-on. There was nothing else in it. 2/5 for both of these. Gamjatang - medium sized portion, good for 2, maybe 3 people. Meat was ok, broth was not bad. Solid average. 3/5. banchan served with the meals were the biggest disappointment. 2/5. This might be the most disappointing banchan ive had in a Korean restaurant in a long time. They served regular cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, and bean sprouts. thats it. None of them were particularly good (not bad, just nothing great). And for a party of 4, they served a single portion of each banchan for the whole table. We had to ask for refills 3 more times. You have 4 diners, all with food that comes with Banchan normally. Wouldnt it be reasonable to bring out 4 portions of banchan right off the bat? Especially when you're understaffed? Overall: Main dishes 2.5/5. Banchan 2/5 for overall selection and quality. Service 2/5 - really comes down to severe understaffing and really poor management of how the kitchen is run. The staff there do their best but they need help. Venue 3/5. Overall, 2 to 2.5/5. This place might be the worst Korean place on the Robson strip of all the ones Ive been to. That's saying a lot, since Vancouver doesnt have amazing Korean food to begin with, and this is one of the worst of the bunch.
