I got the burger without a bun, on lettuce and well done all for $11 (plus tax). It was by far the BEST smash burger I've ever had!!! We sat outside on their covered and heated patio which is also dog friendly. The staff asked if my pup wanted a bone which was so incredibly kind and thoughtful. I will for sure be back for another Thursday burger deal again!!!

Their product is top of the line. You walk in there and the meat options are endless! I have never scene so much bacon in my life. I am a huge lover of bacon and this was the perfect spot. The staff is very knowledgeable about their cuts of meat and when they are uncertain they will call an expert from the back. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm from the staff. They answered all my silly questions and knew how to dig information out of me to understand what I wanted in meat so they could provide the best product. I have yet to enjoy their prepared foods but one day I am going to make a meal out of it. They have somosas, kebabs, sweet spud fries etc. This is one amazing market and it appears the island has embraced it as well. If you find yourself coming to the island and needing supplies you will do yourself a disservice if you don't stop by the Cowichan Valley Meat Market.

Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

Pricing has changed a bit. $11 for 1 meat and 2 sides, or $14 for 2 meat 2 sides. The portions are…read morestill ridiculously huge. I think this may be the best deal in the entire quay. The latter combo can easily make 2 meals for smaller eaters. They do not skimp out. As an added bonus, they now have hunter's stew (contains lots of meat) as a side. So basically it's 3 meats 1 side for $14. For the sides, I recommend their perogies. Nice and filling. I've now tried their striploin, honey garlic ribs, Italian sausage, and meat loaf. The ribs portion is a bit smaller than the rest, but still decent. The striploin is my current favourite. Need to try all the other items and clean them out.

I mean wth??? Disgusting individual!! Really disappointed and disgusted!!! I guess they only wanna serve orientals and Caucasian there!!!

Having recently visited Sebastian's Dundarave Butcher shop, I felt it important to post a review…read more If I could give a hundred stars to this Butcher I would. From the moment one walks through the door, it's like stepping back in time. The friendly environment, the meat display and products are appetizing and impressive. As Sabastian obviously has a very high standard, it's not surprising customers travel a distance to shop at the West Vancouver or Howe Street shops. Not only is the meat high quality, but there is a freezer full of products worth checking out. Once you shop at Sebastian's, you likely will never again shop for meat in a supermarket. Prices are reasonable, staff are welcoming and accommodating and the service is superb. Thank you!

And if it…read moreweren't for big hog meat that's being sliced into various parts that caught my eye I may have passed by obliviously. The pricing is very economical and would even silence my picky grandmother. Perhaps because it is family owned and in a not so busy market place. It offers three categories of products: the regular butcher stuff, sliced and ready to go plates of beef lamb pork etc for hot pot, and marinated sausages and Chinese chacuterie meats. I've only had experience with the regular stuff and I've been very satisfied with the level of quality, service, and price. For instance when I approach the counter the owner is always prompt to greet me and for the pig trotters I always get, he'd give them a further shave and slice them into small pieces for me. I like the variety here and besides the standard burger items, this shop is definitely catered to an Asian kitchen: LongGang free range chicken, duck and chicken feet, various innards, pigs blood, intestine etc. For those into that type of stuff this is good place to find them and for those adventurous chefs open to trying new ingredients, this is a cool stop also. Cheerio!

Most of the time when I drop by this Sungiven Foods, it's to pick up a bubble tea drink at the Sun…read moreTea stall that's located inside. They have some drinks that are 20% for this month so with it being a hot, sunny day I picked up one of those drinks to bring home. This time I also picked up something else that wasn't a Sun Tea bubble tea drink. I bought a small box with a tiramisu cake inside. In typical Asian fashion, it was "not too sweet." Still sweet enough though to be enjoyable and met with our teenage daughter's approval. They have some lovely looking cakes that you can pre-order. I like that there's a huge poster here, advertising the cakes with their sizes and prices. I don't see that at the bakery sections of other Asian supermarkets, so if I were to order a cake from an Asian supermarket, I'd probably be most inclined to order it from Sungiven Foods. They do actually sell some nice things at this supermarket besides Bubble tea and sweets that I'd consider buying. This place is just a bit out of the way for us, and I think by the time we get here, we've often already bought what we need from other places. I do have my eye on their Onigiri though. I would definitely like to try that sometime. I saw a good sale on avocadoes here but like I said, we have often managed to buy what we need already and that is the case with the avocadoes right now, as we've already got several avocadoes in our fridge at home. One thing I do like about Sungiven Foods is that they have a good selection of frozen vegetarian dim sum items that other places don't usually have. When we've cleared up some room in the freezer at home, perhaps I will buy some frozen foods from Sungiven Foods to put into our freezer!

They have a large parking lot with tons of parking. In addition there is some side street parking but I don't think that would be necessary. The store has a large selection of ethnic produce. I was able to find shisito peppers which are very difficult to find in grocery stores in the neighbourhood. Also, the pricing on majority of the produce was fairly affordable. The zucchini's were .69/lb whereas Save On Foods sells them for $1.99/lb. You can also find specialty meats, a hot bar (with buns, noodles, soups, etc.), a dessert case, cleaning and baby items. The only part of my experience here was the slow checkout/cashiers. But, since this was opening day it looks like they were just trying to figure it all out as they were giving away free gifts with purchase.
