Restaurants in New Westminster

“The people at this Fresh Slice are amazing. I was un recently with a very special request, and they made an extra effort to meet and exceed my hopes. It completely made my day, and I have been happily telling people about it.”

“Wild Thyme doesn’t just serve Lebanese food, it serves home. You walk in and it smells like someone’s grandmother has been slow-roasting garlic and blessings since sunrise. It’s small, always packed, and absolutely worth the wait. I’m convinced half of New West is just standing outside hoping for a table.

Now the food? Ridiculous. I ordered the chicken tawouk and it showed up looking like it had been plated with love and possibly divine intervention. The garlic sauce alone could end wars. The hummus is smooth, bold, and just disrespectfully good. And don’t even get me started on the saj bread. It’s like edible magic carpet material.

Portions are enormous. You think you’re ordering lunch, and suddenly you’re staring down a tray that could feed a wedding. Staff are warm and clearly proud of what they’re serving, and they should be. This isn’t fast food. This is soulful, unapologetic, flavor-loaded comfort. Wild Thyme isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a full-on experience.”

“Love that this place has come to my neighbourhood! Never disappoints. Would recommend!”

“The food was mediocre at best. The owner was a very rude person. He comes across as self righteous and condescending. I was shocked that this would be the experience there, especially after reading some of the other reviews. Unfortunately, this place is a hard no for me.”

“first time ordering from them. Loved the crust.”

“Highly recommend! Food, services and the environment are PERFECT!!! Definitely will recommend to everyone around me!”

“Best Indian Cuisine Ive ever had. Must try the mango butter chicken and lemon chicken. Great family restaurant great service and top notch eats.”

“I’ve gone there several time’s since the opened. The service is fast and friendly. And I’ve tried the 3 Taco 🌮 meals Chicken and Beef and found both really nice. If you want a change in fast food then this is a nice place to visit”

“Tried your ice cream for the first time last night. Had the Double Chocolate Raspberry and I can honestly say that it was the best flavour I've had in my life!!!”

“Wonderful owners, delicious food and the coffee was amazing! Such a treat and I highly recommend to everyone who ventures through New West! The only issue is how to choose which in house baked pastries to eat!”

“Enjoyed the food and waitress! Make sure you eat all your dinner if you want dessert! Enjoyed it so much we went back 2 nights later! Might be good for my waistline I don’t live nearby”

“Killer pizza.good price. Nothing wrong with that. Best pizza in town .”

“Great sushi place to eat at in Victoria hill. I come for the aburi sushi. Service is great. Lots of people grab take out here I think it’s due to the condos near by. Food is good quality no complaints!”

“So good! We eat Indian at least once a week. It is the best I have had in New West so far. Good job! Great great service. Tandoori chicken on point, great value for price! Thanks Jodi”

“Top notch sushi with great value at Sora sushi. They pack every order with care and have a great phone/online order experience ! My order was ready for pickup within 30 minutes

The party trays are great value a bit of everything and feeds 2-3 people easily

Quick service and quality can also be experienced when you dine in as well”

“Came in for a drink on a hot summer day, got a mango frosty. Surprisingly Cheap and really good

I wanted to charge my phone so I could install the iOS 26 developer beta and Ashley was very helpful, brought out the sphagetti factory portable charger for me”

“The rice was abit too moist, and not much flavor, felt the sushi waited abit to get picked up because the seaweed was pretty chewy and damp, but all the ingredients and execution was great.”

“Great food, friendly staff, and boardgames. Perfect combo.”

“Most delicious sushi in the area by far! Prices are reasonable and staff are always friendly

Parking: Behind the restaurant in a parking garage underground”

“Good happy hour deals and great place to watch sports, especially UFC”

“Love the decor and it’s amazing food”

“The Bento Boxes are very filling. We truly enjoyed the food.

Affordable prices, attentive staff and good food!

This restaurant is must visit and try.”

“Awesome food and service. Great staff. Always smiling”

“Kudos to the gentleman that was working the drive-thru today. Your kindness, professionalism and politeness was such a treat! It’s delightful to see exceptional customer service still exists 😊”

“I stop by to have coffee ❤️❤️❤️ excellent service and my coffee was nice and hot!”

“Typical McDonald’s with a drive thru and plenty of parking. It’s right behind the gas station and sometimes the line up for the drive thru block the vehicle entry to the fast food joint. There are electronic menu boards you can order food from or directly from the counter, which can take a little while as most workers are busy with the drive thru and the orders. There are two floors, upstairs and downstairs with also a bathroom for those with disabilities. Separate counter areas for ordering and collecting orders.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible on the first floor of the restaurant”

“Counter in a mall food court, except that there is only one other food counter in this mall, and the seating is a handful of tables lining a wide hallway. Service was good although orders definitely take longer than a typical fast food burger place to fulfill. The burgers are good and the special orders accurate, but the fries are perfect. Each and every one crispy and fluffy. None of the uneven cooking commonly seen in wedge or steak fries. The garlic fries are very garlicky. 🥰”

“Super affordable and satisfying poutine and soft serve. The poutine is properly seasoned, fries are creamy inside but well fried on the outside and the curds are melty and give great cheese pulls. The maple soft serve is everything you want in soft serve and not too sweet!

The service is quick, friendly and reliable! They know what they are doing.

Just be warned that there is no AC and it is HOT in the summer heat. I recommend getting the poutine and eating in the shade outside for some air and returning for ice cream when you're ready.”

“My friend and I visited this Saturday. Very inviting, clean, great pastry, choices, savory, and sweet! The coffee was delicious. Service fantastic and friendly. Highly recommend. 🙌💫💜”

“Amazing sandwiches and salad rolls!! so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!”

“This restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with a diverse menu, outstanding flavors, and impeccable service. The ambiance is inviting and elegant, perfect for any occasion. From appetizers to dessert, every dish is expertly prepared, making it one of the best dining spots in the area. Highly recommended!”

“Really great place to be at when you want a chill place to do some studying or just to hang out with friends. Since it’s near the station it might be busy depending on the time, but the workers are kind, patient and hard working.”

“Columbia Street Catering catered our Dad’s celebration of life today in New Westminster and did an incredible job! Their staff are incredibly friendly and showed up early to get set up. Everyone was very impressed with the selection and quality of the food. We will definitely be using them again for our next event! Highly recommended!”

“Probably one of the called I am Happy restaurants after the meal you can enjoy clean, nice dishes at reasonable(actually low range) prices with 5 star services especially from two gentlemen working there. Even take out, they pack everything perfectly with a nice paper bag. One star missing from atmosphere is some of chairs needed to be cleaned after parties are left. I like this place. Reservation is recommended through their website before opening time!”

“Best shawarma place in Westminster, the food is delicious and the portions are big. The staff is friendly and helpful. Is a small place so it gets crowded easily, so it's a good idea to take your orders out.”

“I had an unforgettable experience at Woomi Sushi! This place is an absolute gem. Not only are the prices so reasonable, but the quality here far exceeds anything else I’ve tried in town.

Every piece of sushi is crafted with such care—the fish is incredibly fresh, and the rice is perfectly seasoned. Their rolls are exceptional, each bite bursting with layers of flavor, but the Avocado Oshi with a hint of truffle is truly on another level!

With generous portions, warm and attentive service, and an inviting atmosphere, Woomi Sushi has quickly become my new favorite spot. A must-visit for all sushi lovers!”

“Home cooking at its best Great, friendly service”

“Savanna...greated us with a lovely smile...seated us in a nice table in the shade...it was a potential 6 quest seating...but she was cool with that...our Halbit was perfectly prepared as was the prawns... and the coleslaw and fries made for a perfect meal..the Okanagan Springs & white wine made for a great late lunch in The Hood...The Beattie Clan”

“Great place for breakfast or brunch!! I LOVE their food! Authentic Filipino Silogs, plus Filipino desserts that are great too!! i also have to say, customer service is top-notch!!”

“Probably the best pizza in B.C. I've only been here 3 times now, but every time I pick up from them, I end up loving their food! The crust is buttery, the toppings are high quality, and the service is outstanding. Thank you to Daisy for the great conversation, and amazing food! You guys are amazing!”

“I go here roughly once a month, and I feel like every time it gets better than before. The service is always incredible and the food is amazing, love to go with a big group and get a family platter! Plus the whipped feta! If you like Greek you have to go here!”

“Best lemonade in town! The panini were good too. No rush feeling, lots of people coming in for coffee and friendly servers 😀”

“Amazing food and service! Highly recommend!”

“This is an awesome place to be for fast and tastiest food . I was there with a friend yesterday who introduced me to this and today I woke up , got ready to get another box for my second day. With the food, the lady who attends to you is very nice as well. While you wait for the food , she offered me a hot chai tea and a snack to taste. Great service with a smile . #supportsmallBusiness . Thank you for great good”

“I was very impressed and satisfied !!The service & the food was amazing. Raul made me feel right at home.”

“I usually don’t enjoy mainstream cocktails, but the drinks here are a completely different experience. Each one is genuinely unique and creative. Highly recommend if you're looking for something a little different from the usual bar scene.”

“Waited a really long time to try this place for their gooey cinnamon rolls, since their signs always made them sound the best. We managed to snag the last two rolls that day, but I was disappointed when they tasted just average like something from Cinnzeo or Cinnabon. Good enough, but no homemade quality about it.

The chipotle corn chowder and bagel sandwich were delicious and filling. I would go back for lunch if nearby.

Atmosphere was chill and relaxed enough, but our server, an older gentleman, was not very friendly. He was very grumpy, grumbled when he spoke, and just didn’t seem to care or want to be there. The lady behind the counter seemed to be more busy and efficient, and made light conversation with my kid when she stepped in to help with our table. If I do come back, I’d go for the lunch specials, not the cinnamon rolls or the particular server.”

“Tried them for the first time, will never go anywhere else again for my Sushi 👍👍”

“I must be honest I only buy Donair. But his is the best. Haven't found anything equal as good. His secret sauce makes him the King of Donaires. ❤️👍👍”

“To me it's a breakfast place and a popular one but they serve more that that, there's chinese specials and burgers on the menu too. The decor isn't much to write home about but it's clean, The owner will greet you with a friendly hello and you can even get a refill on your coffee, most of the time you never have to ask. I've never been disappointed ever and I've been going there many years.”

“So glad to see this pub back open and being run by fabulous hard working people. ❤️👍 Great drink menu, good pub memu., good service. Welcome to the back to the neighborhood.”

“Cheap and large quantity. The boss is very nice.
The taste is ordinary, a bit bland, the rice is not very good, and it is oily. If you eat a hair, it's not a big problem.
A large mutton platter and a drink cost 17 Canadian dollars.
There is no dine-in, but you can sit outside and eat in the open air.”

“Love this place for good location, quite neighbourhood and delicious meals and drinks as well.
Special menu for weekend breakfast till 2 pm (highly recommended).
Kids friendly space.
You can also by some specific items such as a coffee beans, chocolate, stuff etc.”

“Awesome place with great people, come here in the late afternoon or evening for a mocha a few times a week, they know me by name as soon as I walk in and know exactly what I’m ordering! Awesome! Thanks!”

“I recently discovered this bakery. The Nutella rolls and pitas are delicious. Everything I've tried has been 10/10.”

“A great place for our large party on Saturday! Great food, great service and great fun!”

“Had a great experience with fast service for a fast casual dinning. Food was really tasty. Love the mild Peri sauce and the Prego sauce!!”

“Best Mexican Bread in BC The Conchas are the best!”

“Sometimes the best dining experiences pop up in the most unexpected places. This little joint is tucked away off the beaten path in an industrial area—not exactly where you'd expect to find memorable flavors—but that’s part of the charm. Given how many well-loved spots have shut down lately due to sky-high lease renewals, we’ll probably see more great eateries springing up in unconventional corners to stay in the game. And honestly, we came for the food, but the inside is surprisingly cozy too.

From what I gather, this spot recently shifted concepts and now leans into Korean fusion, offering a lineup that can satisfy fans of classic Asian dishes, Western comfort food, and the curious middle ground in between. Which made ordering a struggle, in a good way, because so many dishes sounded great. The K-Rose special was the standout for me, perfectly blending two culinary worlds, and I’m glad we got it with the seaweed rice bowl to soak up every last drop of sauce. The bulgogi platter was another win. Serve me anything I can wrap into ssam, and I’m all in. You might need to ask for extra lettuce because the meat portion is no joke, but that’s hardly a complaint. Everything we had was packed with bold, vibrant flavors and left us genuinely satisfied.

There are a few small things I’m sure they are still ironing out while finding their footing with the new concept, but the talent in that kitchen is evident. They deserve a bit of spotlight, and I hope their venture picks up steam. Give them a try as they are doing something special out there.”

“I was in New West for a meeting, so after I was hungry. I had a choice, it was either McDonald's or across the street Jim's Cafe. I decided to give Jim's a try,and I'm sure glad I did. The atmosphere was great, service was wonderful and the food was just great!! To bad I live in North Vancouver, otherwise I would be at Jim's almost everyday. But I'll be there, for sure, next time I'm in New Westminster!! See you then!!!”

“The place was very clean the service was amazing the best pho in all of Burnaby no doubt maybe best all of BC i love this place and will hopefully be back i would leave 12/5 straight bussin the pho was sooo good come here now

Kid-friendliness: Great”

“This place slaps! hard! took me right back to Thailand! 11/10 recommend.”

“I'm a New West resident and have been going to Steel & Oak probably since it first opened and any time I have served growlers of their beer at gatherings on my deck, people have loved it. I recently went there with a group of non-New West friends and everybody enjoyed the beer, food, service, atmosphere and vinyl collection. As I was paying my tab there was a problem with the credit card machine and I was inadvertently charged twice. When I dropped in to explain what happened the staff were super friendly and helpful in getting me a refund. I’ll continue to tell people how great this place is and be in on a regular basis.”

“I tried their fried chicken noodle. Meat portion is 25% of the whole noodle plate.
But I like the taste and texture.

I tried their chicken fried rice and fried chicken with dry peppers.
Fried rice was average and had 20% chicken and 80% rice, I shared with another person as we are small rice eaters.

They have a seating capacity for 12. And tables were already taken on Sunday during lunch hours.

Good service and reasonable price.”

“Massawa restaurant has accommodated our big family with children for a dinner. The food was really good especially the Tibs. The waitress was amazing, welcoming, and very proportional. According to our group of coffee lovers, the coffee they had had the best taste with a hint of ginger. Our gratitude goes out to the waitress for the amazing service she provided us and for taking care of the other customers in the restaurant even though she was the only one there.”

“Great customer service ,delicious cinnamon buns and coffee☕️”

“We’re not vegans, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but the food really impressed us. I had the chow mein and my wife went with the curry. Both were super tasty and filling. The curry was a bit thick. Service was warm, portions were generous, and the whole experience just felt easy and pleasant. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Best scone I’ve had ever. Americano with honey was fresh hot and delicious. Worker skipped the tip option which is unheard of but I asked her to add a tip. Menu includes salads as well. Wonderful friendly”

“Seriously delicious and super friendly staff! Love this place!”

“The food is always great and they seem to maintain their taste on my favourite dishes. The salmon was cooked to perfection as I have requested. The only thing is, they served it with a small portion of rice (as substitute) which our server happily asked the kitchen for more. ( I told him to tell the kitchen staff to never serve 3 tablespoons of rice to an Asian customer.)”

“Really great place to be at when you want a chill place to do some studying or just to hang out with friends. Since it’s near the station it might be busy depending on the time, but the workers are kind, patient and hard working.”
