Chinese DIY Hot pot battling it out in an area dominated by Korean restaurants…read more Small plaza parking available - watch out though as some of the spots are limited to 30 minutes / pretty transit friendly as location is a short walk from Lougheed. Place was very clean and color scheme was a lot like "Fish with You" (fish pot restaurant at crystal mall ). Service was very quick - got a table on a weekend afternoon instantly. They do have a minimal order weight of 1LB/19.99 / so this might be the reason why some stated this place is expensive, and it could be if you're a small eater seeking the $10-15 pots. In terms of selection - I don't think they have that large of a selection compared to say Big Way - I felt like there was less of everything. The Fried Egg here was a disaster and don't recommend / it was very dry. Broth selection was mid , tried the #1 spicy broth , apparently most popular among customers - the medium level spicy was alright - you can taste the gentle numbing of the peppercorns, however it still lacked intensity , maybe I should got max heat. They were having a happy hour - so the drink was on the house, no option of type of drink. It tasted pretty good. Did not get the ice cream at the end, believe they had basic Vanilla.

First time at YGF Malatang, a Chinese chain with over 6000 stores worldwide. Upon first glance,…read morethis outlet is very clean, with all their items kept very cold and their sauce bar was pristine. I liked their selection of items as they had more interesting options like cooked razor clams and buckwheat noodles. The staff were friendly and helpful in answering any questions we had about the spice levels or beverage options. I found their broths to be on the creamier side, and my husband got his malatang mild as per the staff's suggestion, but found it too mild for his liking. Just a note that there is a minimum of 1 lb at $19.99, which can be a deterrent for smaller appetites. I did end up packing my leftovers to go so I could have room for their complimentary ice cream, which was more of a froyo texture. I'd come back if I'm in the area, but it's not a must for me, maybe 3.5 stars?

We ordered the aburi platter to share along with the truffle avo oshi and sockeye salmon oshi. I enjoyed most of the items of the aburi platter, but found the saba oshi a bit plain and did not care for the flavours of the yukke tuna oshi. My favourites were the atlantic salmon oshi and the ebi oshi, which was quite unique and had pesto sauce on it. At the end, most of the saba and yukke oshi were left, which we took to go. The sake ice cream was delicious and the sake flavour was very prominent. The service was very friendly and quick, and we were seated immediately. Definitely interested in coming back to try their omurice and their other oshi offerings!

Particularly, I wanted to try the Tornado rice (which I believe might be exclusive to the Burnaby location?) Overall, I liked the demi-glace sauce and comforting feeling of the omelette rice (~$18) though it doesn't come with much meat (they did have the option to add katsu for an additional $5). I did find the rice in the aburi (~$13) to be slightly on the firm end so I'm not sure I'd return for that. Though the service was pretty quick and their tea was good!

Came for dinner and the place was full on a weekend! (Yay for the business). The menu mostly…read moreconsisted of soup dishes and we were craving soup + rice hence we chose this spot compared to others in the complex. The food came fast. They have fresh kimchi but the Napa and radish were in whole leaves and chunks so there were scissors and tongs to cut them to your own size liking. I don't recall ever having to do this at the many Korean restaurants I've tried throughout the lower mainland so a new experience. Does it add or take away from the experience though? I would say neither... All the soups here came with either regular rice or stone bowl rice with no extra upcharge so of course I got the stone bowl rice to get the crispy rice finishes. I opted for the seafood tofu soup. There was a lot of tofu and not much seafood. Several pieces of clam, one shrimp and one mussel. Overall an alright spot for soup rice. I wasn't feeling adventurous that day so I didn't get the items that would be more unique to the restaurant such as more knuckle/collagen beef forward or dried pollack. Would come back to try those soups or even their assorted meat hotpots, which I also don't often see on Korean menus.

It required a lot of salt to make it feel tasty. The galbi was also kind of dry. The marinade was good and flavorful but it was dry. Honestly the best part of that meal was the stone bowl rice I think. The service is mid. You're not met with a smile or greeted well. It's just a stop for food.

I phoned in the order for pick-up (vegetarian roti without egg; $18.95 plus tax) and it was ready 15 minutes later. The kotthu was well-made, with plenty of curry leaves and a nice array of spices, without being too spicy. There were plenty of veggies (cabbage, onion, okra, green beans, carrot, and cauliflower), and plenty of shredded roti of course. I'd say it lacked a little salt but that's better than being over-salted. The portion was very large and filling. Far from the best vegan kotthu I've had but it's such a rare dish to find that I appreciated this very much. I would definitely return. Recommended.

It turned out that the pork had no sauce at all and the taste was minimal. It did not resemble the picture as shown online. The Braised Beef was a lie (they gave us slices of beef shank instead of chunks of beef). It was not braised; it was cold. You can check the photos on Uber Eats and Fantuan for the correct version. We were shocked by their misconduct. Traditional dishes should not be altered and the cashier should not have asked us for modifications.

The menu designed for those with 20/20 vision or better unless you are standing directly under the menu. Which could be a psychological trick to get you to unconsciously to commit when you are indecisive about what to consume at the foodcourt. Ha! It worked. Was a toss between good old trusty or something new notably a joint with a menu with tiny texts. Joking aside, had the combo 2. Pulled beef sandwich with pork bones, er "dragon bones", and vegetable soup. This is a northern cuisine from China that is not common in GVRD. The taste is muted except for the starnasis and the ingredients. Umami flavour and wholesome tasting. Fair value. Recommend it.

As the…read moresister restaurant to Maenam, you can really taste that same attention to balance, depth, and quality in every dish. My partner and I are regulars here. Some of our go-to favourites: green curry, pad see ew, gai lan with pork belly, and the Thai fried rice with grilled pork. The flavours are super consistent every single visit, which honestly is half the battle with takeout spots. Their rotating specials are also worth watching for m, and are always fun when there's something new in the mix. (my pictures don't do justice) It's definitely a bit pricier than your average quick Thai spot... however, the ingredients taste fresh and the portions are satisfying. Love the little thoughtful touches too: self-serve water station, compostable containers and cutlery, and an easy casual setup that works perfectly for a Quay lunch or dinner. I'm giving it a 4-star because the place closes at 6pm Mon-Thu and at 7pm on all other days. I always feel like I need to rush or have early dinner if I wanted to grab food from here. All in all, this is a solid Thai food option in New West. Basically, if Thai street food and elevated comfort food had a waterfront glow-up, this would be it!
