The fish was really tasty -- well seasoned and perfectly cooked. For three people, the portion was just a little small on its own, but once we added some lamb skewers on the side, it was more than enough. The price was very reasonable for the quality, and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely a great place for a casual dinner with friends. Would recommend! Also love the priceee only 40 for the fishh

Service is typical fast and efficient with little fanfare. They could use some elbow grease to give the place a good cleaning and throw away some of the old junk beside the beverage fridges. But it is the food I come for which makes the grade. I get the lamb skewers in the evening with a bowl of sesame noodles and this hits the spot. Very comforting and satisfying I have seen their whole fish dish and I want to try it soon. They also have a Beef noodle soup which is good with house made springy noodles. I'm looking forward to returning and trying the whole fish with chilies.

Expecting nothing special, we wandered in during a quiet time and ordered pork dumplings, small plate of broccoli, cold plate of spicy beef shank and tendon, fried bread stuffed with garlic chives, and a lovely bao filled with savory slices of lamb.

We will definitely return. Ticked all the boxes! We made a video for our YouTube channel @global_feast.

I was at Ackroyd Plaza doing some shopping when we decided to have lunch. I looked on Yelp, and it…read morewas the highest rated restaurant in the area so we tried it. I didn't realize it was a chain with three locations in Metro Vancouver. We entered and the place was moderately busy. We were seated immediately. Rather typical looking restaurant but it was clean. Tables had QR codes for the menu and to place orders. We tried three things: - Deep Fried Durian Balls: Good. Becoming a fairly common dish now. Despite not liking fresh durian , I don't mind eating this. Outer layer is crisp and not too thick. - Rice Noodle with Tomato Broth: Good. Comes still boiling. Decent size, variety of toppings and a slightly thicker broth than most. Rice noodles are a bit soggy, but being all you can eat rice noodles is a nice feature for big eaters. - Yang's Chicken Rice Boneless: Good. Also comes boiling. Chicken is tender, and mushrooms have intense flavour. Service is minimal, but helpful. Overall, we were happy with our food as it was good, fast, and affordable. Not something I would crave, but a reliable option if I'm in the area again

We stopped by for a quick dinner and tried a few items which we have not tried before…read more We ordered the beef soup noodles, the soup noodles with chicken offal, pork and shrimps steamed dumplings and the marinated pork intestine. The dumplings are good as usual. The pork intestines are made well with no off taste. However the marinate was not as flavorful as preferred. The beef with the beef soup noodles seem to be smaller than before. The spicy soup of the chicken offal was flavorful but a bit too oily.

This is Master Bao's second or third location and it's in a good location on Kingsway for Burnaby…read moreand Vancouver residents so one does not need to trek to Richmond's Yaohan Centre for their foods. Master Bao is named for its steamed buns 包子. I appreciate their diverse menu of appetizers, dumplings and soybean pudding aka tofu pudding or 豆腐腦. I think their soybean pudding may be more of an acquired taste for some who have never tried their Northern style salty tofu pudding before. It is prepared differently than the popular Cantonese style which is more common at restaurants and only served sweet. Their soybean pudding can be served both sweet or savory and this item is one of my favorite food item on their menu because I love the soft and silky texture. The Kingsway location is bright with friendly staff and a comfy ambiance. There's a small free parking lot in front and it's a quick lunch or afternoon snack stop. The tables here can be grouped together and ideal for large groups to dine here. It's easy to eat together as each can order their own items to their own liking and convenient to pay separately. It's also a good place to share different items with family, friends, or in a group. Cash, debit and credit card accepted with no surcharge fees.

Checked out Chef Hu Bento Box Express as one of the many Richmond Public Market stalls we tried…read more They have a full spread of Chinese dishes displayed up front, making it super easy to pick your combo. No line when we visited, and we got our bento instantly after choosing our three items. - Mapo Tofu (麻婆豆腐) -- large, juicy tofu cubes braised in a flavorful chili-oil-based sauce - Shredded Pork & Vegetables (肉絲炒菜) -- classic stir-fry, sliced pork with veggies; savory, aromatic, and super satisfying - Braised Beef (滷牛肉) -- tender pieces of beef with a deep soy-braised color and rich flavor - Stir-Fried Noodles (炒麵) -- oily, savory, and loaded with bean sprouts; a great base to round out the box Chef Hu is perfect if you're after a hearty, value-packed lunch with fresh Chinese homestyle dishes. They even offer discounts for their boxed bento lunches on Fantuan, making it an ideal to-go meal or something easy to share. Ambience is lively and bustling, especially during a weekend lunch rush. Overall, a solid deal at around $14 CAD for a three-item bento -- easily enough for two meals!

They have both takeout (meat/veggie combo with rice), as well as "hot pot" which is basically a glorified bowl of soup. Free rice refills here. I had the Taiwanese hot pot. Basically thin (ramen?) style noodles with lots of bean curd strips and other meat goodies (sliced intestines, fish balls, clams, Spam) in a spicy peppery soup, but without a layer of oil. Definitely filling, though the taste was honestly rather plain.

Good choice if you want something cheap and convenient! === 2. FOOD On this latest visit, we had the: - Mushroom Omelette: simple, yet tasty; comes with a slice of toast and drink. - Breakfast Combo: choice of protein (I chose pork chop) with two eggs your way and toast. Another good option! - Pork & Preserved Vegetable in Vermicelli: the broth is a little on the light side, but pretty good! === 3. SERVICE It works well enough for me in English for takeout; I overhear it working for others in Cantonese and Mandarin also. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It is a food court, so you're really here for takeout. The food court itself is showing its age and even with the pandemic, it's still able to fit small and medium groups. The place is a little cramped and it's always busy, so find a table quick and maybe leave the wheelchairs and baby strollers at home (though they will fit at the tables on the ends of the food court). Parking can also be hotly contested in the limited lot space on the ground floor - I recommend checking the rooftop parking when visiting outside of early morning or the evening.

Nice dirty beaten up place inside Parker Place…read more Parking here is horrendous thanks to the hordes of people parking outside - may I suggest the roof. They sell cock steaks here for $5.25 - I wasn't adventurous enough to try. The fish balls ($3.75) I had were made fresh to order - this also meant there was a 10 minute wait. But it was worth it. 8 big fluffy ones, with a generous portion of curry sauce. The sauce was so oily that it wouldn't stick to the fish balls. Delicious.

It's always busy and that's a good thing: the food supplies are regularly turning over and all of those people can't be wrong. If you're looking for decent Hong Kong cafe-style food at reasonable prices, then this should be on your list of candidates for good eats when in the area! === 2. FOOD It's decent food - not top notch, but certain nothing outrageous that you'd want to avoid. Today's meal of chicken steak, ham, and egg on rice was nice, but the ham but a small thin triangle and the tomato sauce could have been thick Campbell's tomato soup out of the can - a little salty. It comes with a bowl of yummy Chinese soup of the day and a cold drink for $1.50 more, so it's good value at $9.75 in today's post-pandemic high-pricing model. Is it's iCafe good? Nope. But it also costs $6+ less and saves you the drive. Does it beat other food courts? Yes - at this price. Their two meat-item plus rice/spaghetti with drink is typically pretty good, as is the choose-your-own-adventure soup noodles, and the breakfast combos are decent too. === 3. SERVICE Considering I don't speak Chinese and that this is really a takeout stall in the food court, it's pretty good. Perhaps it's because I'm the only English-speaking patron that typically comes by? The lady who takes/serves the orders and handles payments is pretty good, and always remembers to switch to speaking English to me and is quick on the draw for everything. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's the Parker Place food court. That means you're going to a place that's showing its 30+ year age with tables fairly close to each other, and you'll be greeting a typically older, Asian crowd with the occasional grade-school student in uniform appear outside of school times. Wheelchairs and baby strollers could fit - if you stick to the seats out on the outer edges of the seating area, but then you'd be impeding on the walkways. Parking is occasional available outside, but you're lucky more in luck on the rooftop.
