    a hamburger and fries in a basket
    Jon L.

    Found myself in commercial Drive with time to kill....decided to go for some cheap eats and stumbled upon The Dime! What more can you ask for? Cheap eats at 1 price and a cold beer. Place is a bit loud bec of the crowds, but they are serving up some good grub. For the price and quality, it cant be beat. Service is top notch too. Very attentive and fast. Ordered a Roadie burger and was surprised at how good it was. The bun was moist and tender and so was the burger patty. Perfectly coked with bacon and cheese. Loved every bite. Portion was good too and came with perfectly cooked fries. Had to take 1 star off for cleanliness of the place. Tables needed to be wiped down for sure, and the floor swept a bit. But i get it, its busy and most places are short staffed, but a bit of cleaning is a must for sure. Overall, food was great. Also ordered their chicken alfredo. Just forgot to take a pic. It had some heat on it which was a good touch. It wasnt an italian style, but alfredo with a twist. Nonetheless, good taste and texture profile. Cheers! Happy eating!

    Not sure why the reviews are so low, came here on a Thursday night for some drinks and it was a vibe! They played good music, our server was super nice and came to check in on us frequently, made sure we were hydrated. Didn't try the food but saw the prices and it's a great cheap food place! Will definitely try the food next time I'm here!

    Who would order Dom Perignon here?!??

    The Dime is one of those places where all food is $4.99. Nothing special about the food (which can vary between meh to pretty darn good, depending on what you order), but it's decent, and it's five bucks. However, the drinks are really overpriced--at least the wine is--so as a wine drinker, I wouldn't go here for drinks. I went on Wednesday evening with some friends, and Wednesdays are Wing Wednesdays, with chicken wings being $0.33 each, with minimum orders of ten wings. So $3.33 for a decent sized portion of wings, which are pretty tasty. I'm definitely coming back on a Wednesday! Another thing to note: wifi is excellent. Immediately I was connected to their wifi--I didn't have to log in or anything (I'm not sure if it's because I have been there before and previously connected to their wifi, or if it just automatically connects you), and not once did it cut out. Their wifi is better than in my own home. Also, gender neutral bathrooms! [Yelp collections: Poor and hungry?]

    When you see a sign that says $4.95 for all food.... you mind thinks... is it good... can I eat it? And it lingered on me for the longest time till I had a chance to check this joint out. I have been to the former venue 'La Rocca' so I knew what was here before, and how it looked before the face lift, and they did a good job. A real 'chill' type place, your local neighbourhood bar with many beers on tap, and cheap food, can't go wrong, but is it any good? What makes this place different? We came in on a busy weeknight, not much seats, so we decided to park our butts at the bar. The bartender and the manager on the floor made it an effor to acknowledge our existance right away, by telling us their names, by asking if we had come here, and just feeling welcome. It was a weird thing, as I used to just parking anywhere in a bar, having some guy/girl who is using the job as part-time come by take my order, run off, drop my stuff and disappear into the abyss, but this was not the case one bit. This place has got the old but bright wood look, tons of tv's, especially sitting at the bar, so if your catching the game you will definitely see it, and a pretty decent food menu. On this night we ordered some maple bacon gnocchi, Korean fried chicken wings, and a pulled pork sandwich.... with fries... hey $4.95... these portions aren't weasley small either, and it ain't crap. When you need a cold one, and you need some food..... this maybe my joint to be on the Drive.

    Dime is a typical bar where you will have a lot of drinks and food. The songs in there, are nice :) It's really a nice place to go by yourself or with your friends. The service is a little slow and sometimes the waitress forgets your drinks, like all the time. The beers are amazing with a lot of options and the cocktails are good too. So, try all them. My favourite one was Jacob - they mix Smirnoff with lemon, it's simple but it is good. I tried the tomato and pepper one, but I didn't like, but if you like exotic things, you will love that. I ordered a Dime Sandwich with potatoes, they are really good :) So, visit this restaurant and ask some beers, you will love it and don't forget, they have food menu with a lot of options for $ 4,95. So, enjoy it :)

    The food is actually not bad for $5.00 and if you're not a drinker, then your meal is even more affordable! Their menu really seems like a hit or miss for most people, but our group seemed to enjoy our meal. The best items were probably the artichoke dip and perogies. It was a busy Friday night when we went so the service was a bit slow but the waitress was really friendly and accommodating. It feels like this would be a great place to get cheap drunk food after a night out!

    I think it's interesting to have all the food at $5.95... the sizes were ok. I wish I tried the burgers and entrees as they are all the same price. The music was a bit loud for me and hey, it's a bar, right? The server was very attentive and even asked me if I wanted my hot water to be topped! Yes, I prefer to have my hot water today...

    Not as good as the last time we came. Food was good overall but service fell short somewhat…read more Came here with family. We all ordered our own individual dishes. I just had an Original Gimbap and a Vege Gimbap for myself. It was a hot summer's day so I just didn't feel like ordering hot food. Everyone else ordered hot food though. My daughter has been getting into Tonkatsu at Japanese restaurants for awhile now. So when she saw Chicken Katsu on the menu here, she decided to give that a try. It was just OK for her. No comparison to any of the pork Tonkatsu dishes that she's been having at Japanese restaurants. She still ate it all up though and it was a huge portion. Other dishes on the table included Seafood Noodles, Pork Kimchi Stew, Soft Tofu Stew, Fried Chicken, and Kimchi Fried Rice. My one gripe would be that they took a super long time bringing out my daughter's Chicken Katsu. Everyone else had their food for quite awhile but she sat waiting and waiting for her Chicken Katsu. When we asked about it, they said it was coming soon. But that's what they always say when you ask about something that's taking a long time to come, right? Wondering if they actually completely forgot about it and then put in a rush order at the kitchen when we brought it up.

    Great little neighbourhood spot for Korean food at lunch…read more I stopped by with coworkers and this place is a solid 4/5. Favorite item was the pork belly with kimchi. It's over fire on a hotplate/pan with the meat all around and kimchi in the middle. Perfect with rice or on it's on. The Japchae had plenty of beef and veggies. The potato noodles weren't overcooked and was a great consistency. The seafood tofu soup was favorful with clams and mussels. The raw beef was too frozen and needed to sit out longer. However, the flavor was still good, but I don't know if I'd order it again. The service was excellent and attentive.

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.
