“Finally got here. Nothing but good things. Place was swamped. Still got seated within 15 minutes. Staff were friendly and on top of it all! Food came fast, hot, and delicious. Definitely be back and highly recommend.”
“It is superb! Great link between front of the house, our server + Rev, and the kitchen. Fabulous good, atmosphere and wine. Will be back soon. 🥂”
“Our server was amazing. Was able to answer our questions and give drink reccomendations based on what we were gonna have and what our preferences were. Presentation of the food was superb. And everything tasted amazing!”
“We had a wonderful experience at Botanist. The service is impeccable, with a very attentive and friendly team, always ready to recommend the best dishes. The beef tartare is outstanding – delicate, full of flavor; the flank steak was cooked to perfection, very tender and juicy; and the lobster risotto is creamy, rich and truly unforgettable. A place that definitely deserves a visit in Vancouver!”

“BEST IRISH PUB IN VANCOUVER”
“Outstanding to die for real authentic Indian food. You gotta try it at least once in your life.”
“I've hired Pizza Catering Vancouver twice for corporate events, and both times they absolutely knocked it out of the park. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! They also offered excellent gluten-free and vegan options, which were much appreciated. This team is my go-to for catering, I can’t recommend them highly enough. A true 10/10 experience!”
“Food is very thai authentic & delicious. Mango sticky rice is so artistic and so good.”
“The best local Vietnamese cuisine! A must try for the authentic Vietnam flavours 😍”
“Lotus root very fresh and crispy even on day 2 of eating. Peking duck crispy, good size pan-fried beef portions, fresh mushrooms. $7 for Tato's small size takeout container of your meat or vegetable selection. Fast service, thanks.”
“Best Banh mi on Victoria. The cash lady will try to upsell you on absolutely everything. A little annoying seeing what a cow cash this place is,but hey -maybe that's her passion.”
“Oh my… this was quite an experience! When going there, letyourself be surprised by the Chef’s Menu (Menu dégustation in french). Surprise after surprise, it will make you live a real culinary experience! And our waiter (fluently bilingual) was excellent and vey passionate! Along with the lady who brought each plate and explained to us what they were. And finally the manager, I believe, who came over a few times to talk about the plates, the wine and how the pasta were made the same day, very early in the morning The wine suggestion was also perfect! Finally, the décor is not at all what you would expect, from looking at the menu on the web-site; very fresh, young, modern, yet very warm decor! Please go and try this place. I will definitely be back when travelling to Vancouver. Merciiii!”
“If Indian cuisine is your thing stop in at 6482 Victoria Drive Vancouver. Outstanding tastes and textures. A delightful family will prepare you food that you will leave you wanting to write a review. Their spiced "hot" dishes were outrageous last evening. My group is returning again tonight to enjoy some other dishes. The potions will fill you comfortably. You will leave well served, and thankful for your visit. The price point is so reasonable. If you are as fortunate as we were you will find a parking spot right in front of Nirvana!”

“If you are like me and growing up in a household with “traditional, slow cooked, 12 hours on the stove” kinda’ dishes were just another regular Tuesday night dinner, you know those flavours and dishes are almost impossible to find elsewhere. La Tana has managed to create the same flavours, dishes and love that I remember so dearly sharing with my family around the table. Thank you La Tana”
“Amazing food here! Absolutely mouth watering! I will be back a million times over. Great service, keep up the good work kitchen team! ✨👏🏼🔥😍”

“We came for a good bye dinner with our team. Our company closed and Glowbal was selected by numerous recommendations from our other colleagues. It was an amazing atmosphere and definitely super-tasty food. When the time for dessert came, our beautiful waitresses came with our ordered sweet cake with “Happy Unemployment “ writing on the plate. It was a bittersweet moment for all of us but our mood instantly switched to laughter and we almost forgot the cause of our gathering”
“The hostesses at the front are vibrant and charming. They offer a complimentary glass of champagne to sip while you’re waiting. If you don’t imbibe, they will accommodate your soft drink request. We were seated at a table on the patio which is very close to the street. So if you choose to sit on the patio, There will be city sounds which, apart from the occasional siren, quickly dissolves into the artful landscaping. Raven, our server, was friendly and cheerful, in addition to being appropriately attentive. We started with the mini steak French dips. Expertly seasoned and grilled, new york steak strips over a button of gruyere cheese atop a tiny slice of sourdough garlic bread with a side of au jus. These were quite more-ish. I recommend them. My husband enjoyed the Mediterranean salad and I liked my seared ahi tuna salad very much. The tuna is sliced thicker than carpaccio but thinner than sushi and gently seared. The plating was elegant and the salad finely chopped with bits of mango and shaved avocado on the top.. I tasted a bit of mint leaf and the light dressing was truly perfect. The staff pay attention to the guests and, when your server is busy, they make themselves available for your needs. It appears the staff members enjoy each other’s company as well as their jobs. I observed real teamwork throughout. We had the apple pie for dessert. On its own it is delicious with a caramel apple filling and it’s flaky , buttery and crunchy crus. It can easily be shared by three people and would have been enough. But do’gild the lily’ by adding the Canadian maple ice cream. We felt comfortable and satisfied. We were pleased with every bite and the Joey Burrard experience from start to finish. We will definitely go back and try some other offerings. Go and have fun. And talk to the very friendly staff who are so willing to engage.”
“The food here is really good and authentic. Loved the spicy and refreshing flavours. The curry noodle was so creamy and comforting. The Mango sticky rice is so good, it’s a must order.”

“Last time I went to the one on Davie st. in Vancouver I was so disappointed. This morning my husband convinced me to go there again, this time it was really good. our server May was freaking amazing and keep tabs on everyone in her section, our food came quickly and the overall experience this time was very pleasant! Ask to be in May's section when u go here!”
“Oh, heaven forbid you miss out on our fresh and delicious sandwiches, prepared by a tall, hot sandwich-making prodigy. And just in case the front parking is full, don't fret, we've got the luxurious back parking option. It's practically a sandwich-lover's paradise here, where breakfast and lunch are absolute winners.”
“This morning was one of those where you get up late for work and to top it off the bus is going without you, it made me happy to stop by a cafe and a muffin the smile that the girls gave me made me feel good, very few places have this service, I am very grateful.”
“Good food and timely service. Deluckshan is a very good server with a bright personality. Always provides timely updates on food and serves with a great attitude with a smile. Please visit the restaurant at Kingsway Location and Deluckshan will always be the good presenter for his work.”
“Our waitress Jaclyn was a real crowd pleaser! She was high energy from the first hello to the final goodbye. She got to know us and when she learned about our love of pickle backs… next thing we know there is a round coming to our table! What a great surprise and a fun way to transition from dinner to the concert we were seeing. The Sports Bar also had staff present to help direct and walk along customers from the sports bar to a near by door for easy access to Rogers arena as a private event was blocking the usual door. This was a nice touch as we feared we would have to wait in the long lines outside in the rain. Once again the team at the Sports Bars went above and beyond. LOVE bringing friends and family here for dinner before Canucks Games and other events at Rogers! Thanks SB Team! See you again soon!”
“You will feel you are in Japan. The attention to detail and quality of the food is remarkable. It's a performance as much as it's dinner. Really special.”

“My wife tried Mr. Shawarma on Robson last night and after she offered me a bite I had to go back and order one for myself - so good! As well, the personal touch and friendly vibe of the chef and team made my whole trip downtown feel worth it. I will build a trip to Mr. Shawarma into my downtown trips from now on!”
“We had the Spaghetti Meatballs & Cherry Coke Ribs. The Spaghetti, eh, honestly, you could do better, forget the pasta at the pasta place lol. Those cherry coke ribs were so unbelievably good, and the side of Lemon Pepper Grilled Brussel Sprouts. OMG I would come here just for that. We finished off the night with a Tiramisu, and it didn't dissappoint. We will definitely be back. The only negative/ complaint if that, I notice a lot of people recommend it as a date spot, if you want to chat, dont bother, the place is so friggin loud lol”
“Shayla, our server, was absolutely amazing! She explained the menu thoroughly and made excellent recommendations that we were glad to try. The entire experience was exceptional, and the food was perfect from start to finish.We had the red wine braised short rib of beef from Double R Ranch — it melted in my mouth and the flavor was out of this world. We started with the scallops and smoked bison tartare, both of which were outstanding.For other mains, we enjoyed the wood grilled lamb, the Hank tenderloin steak, the Wagyu beef picanha from Brant Lake Farm in Alberta, Blue Dot Beef in Prince Edward Island striploin (10 oz). They were all amazing. The Blue Dot had incredible flavor — juicy, tender, and hands down the best steak I’ve ever had. Every steak was beautifully cooked and packed with flavor.We finished the evening with trying ALL THE DESSERTS! The baked Alaska was beautiful and delicious! The ice cream trio was so creamy and rich. The creme brûlée was smooth and dreamy. The chocolate cake was moist and perfectly matched with the passionfruit sauce. The fam favorite was definitely the cheesecake… we were all wanting it! Perfect flavor not too sweet and very smooth. Blackberries were a perfect match. We also had the donuts.. don’t forget about those. Im still dreaming of them. Highly recommend — a truly unforgettable meal!”
“The kebab was incredible: extremely flavorful, cooked well and not dry at all! The poutine was a bit soggy for our taste—the flavors were there, but the fries were not as crispy as we would have preferred. Still a lovely establishment overall, and extremely friendly people!”
“Shout out to Salmon n' Bannock Bistro for such an amazing dinner for our Anniversary last night 🧡 The food was to die for and reminded me of home. 🥰 The candied salmon was my favorite! The atmosphere was beautiful and everyone was incredibly lovely. Highly highly recommend you go check them out 🫶🏽”

“Pretty much my favourite burger joint, even when it was just a ghost kitchen. Even back then, the service was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the burgers were just as delicious as they are now. The fries aren’t terrible, but when compared to the burgers, they aren’t great. Another complaint is that the new shop’s atmosphere is definitely a bit clinical, which kinda clashes with how warm and welcoming the workers are. Still, that won’t stop me from always ordering a cheeseburger original if I’m even somewhat close to the location”

“I had an incredible experience here last Friday! My friends hosted a surprise bridal shower for me in the private dining room. The staff were thoughtful and helpful with the setup, allowing my them to come in early to decorate the space. They also did a flawless job with executing the surprise by pretending to bring me to a table first. The server was fun, warm and attentive throughout the night and I feel terrible that I’m forgetting her name! All the food was delicious, which has been the case every time I’ve been to Boulevard.”
“Mathiew and Ihor at the bar were actually the best bartenders and servers we have ever had. We had an amazing time sitting at the bar with them. We had the best porterhouse we had ever eaten along with the best margaritas. Excellent experience.”
“This sushi place is a hidden gem! The sushi is incredibly authentic, featuring soft sushi rice that perfectly complements the fresh sashimi.
While it’s a small spot, the seating is comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal :)”

“My wife and I go to Five Sails every year for our wedding anniversary because we've never been disappointed or dissatisfied here. Even though it appears there has been an overhaul since the last time we came, they didn't fail to impress. The staff were personable, informative, and the food was phenomenal.”
“We had an amazing experience at Sushi Jin! It was my boyfriend’s birthday today, and we made a reservation in advance for their omakase. Both the chef and his wife were incredibly warm and friendly, which made the evening even more special. The ingredients were super fresh, and everything tasted delicious. We especially loved their wasabi and homemade ginger — such a nice touch! It was also a pleasure to watch the chef carefully prepare each dish — truly a beautiful and enjoyable experience. Since they only serve six guests at a time, it’s really quiet and private, which made it feel even more special. Highly recommend!”
“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!”
“I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always such a pleasant experience. The interior feels upscale yet relaxing, and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.
The “Holly Cow” platter is an amazing selection of meats — without a doubt the best taste you can find in Vancouver.
They also offer individual BBQ sets and counter seating, which makes it easy to come alone, while the private table seating creates a wonderful atmosphere for families or friends to enjoy together.
I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!”
“Though it's only Jan, quite sure this will be one of the best dining experiences of the year, if not the top. Everyone and everything was perfect from the time we sat down till our departure. Great people, food, and space. Easily one of the nicest rooms in Van... And that wine cellar! Thanks Carl et al”
“Phenomenal food. We both got the chef’s tasting menu & everything was very well thought and executed to the littlest details. We were served by Max & Andrew, both of whom must be passionate about what they do from what we could tell. My guess is that if you’re into delicious food, you’ll find your way to Suyo’s door.”
“We went and had the tasting menu with my boyfriend and our parents it was a amazing experience everyone was so nice and welcoming felt right at home and the food was delicious the papaya salad was my favourite we sat at chefs table aswell and they surprised us with gifts totally recommend that seat if you’re going to make a reservation you can see the whole kitchen”
“I have been fortunate enough to have many beautiful dinners out all over the world but every single time I go to Lupo I am never disappointed. The staff are absolutely incredible! They elevate the experience ten fold. The food is absolutely divine! It's old school class with some playful encounters if you choose to engage the fabulous staff. The entire experience will keep me going back time and time again.”
“Okay… yes the price is high, but it’s worth every damn penny. I’m pretty cheap when it comes to going out, and this is probably the ONLY Japanese restaurant in Vancouver that I would spend 200+ on a dinner. Food quality is amazing, I’m somewhat of a fisherman and loves to foraging seafood, and the quality of seafood there is on par or even better than some seafood I caught myself. Oh and the service, I feel weird that I’m willingly paying 20% tip on a dinner. Guy’s giving me a whole biology lesson on the fish I’m eating, I’d just consider the tip as tutoring fee. 100% recommend, just send it, it’s worth it I promise.”
“Celebrated my Milestone Birthday last night at this Fabulous Restaurant. I’ve always Loved this restaurant. We have being going since Umberto had the beautiful Tuscan yellow building. We always feel so welcomed & like family when we dine there. Umberto is always so personable & greets everyone in the restaurant. The Food was incredible last night as always. I really Loved my Birthday Celebration at Giardino. It made me feel So Special Thank you for making my Birthday so Memorable ❤️ Fay Jensen”
“Phenomenal experience with tasting dinner and wine pairing. A culinary highlight to our trip that will give us memories for many meals to come. Would dine again next time we're in town. Pricey---but worth it for a treat!”
“Amazing food 10/10 heard about it from a friend, will definitely be back”

“The three of us and a dog came to Nonna’s Cucina on East Hastings for the first time after seeing it several times while driving by. We each ordered the rigatoni dish and in our opinion the quality was at par with Oca and La Tana. Very tasty and flavorful, and good portions. It was so neat to be served on pretty china instead of on a cardboard container. One of the staff came out while we were waiting at our table for our dishes and he was so kind to give our friend’s dog some bits of ham to enjoy! We are so glad to have tried this place out and we will definitely be returning again soon!”
“I never really thought of fresh slice when I ordered pizza. Now there are my go to pizza shop. They know me to see me, and know my order.
Talented people here making pizza, and everybody is genuine smiles and up beat atmosphere. I am speaking of the Marine and Cambie location in particular.
You can not beat unlimited toppings.

“Went to visit this store at 2418 Granville Street with my friends and had a great dine-in experience. We ordered a half and half pizza, one side loaded with cheese and the other with my favorite and fresh veggies. The crust was perfect, and the flavours were on point.
A big shoutout to Neha and Ranjodh for their friendly and professional service. They made us feel very welcome, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting.
Highly recommend this location if you’re in the South Granville area. Great pizza, great service, and great vibes all around. 🍕👨👩👧👦”
“We had an imaging appointment next door and found this place. Such a fine establishment all around. Excellent service and great food and coffee.
Lovely ambiance and everyone was so nice and kind. They had some great cookbooks for sale for $5 and I picked one up.
We got Caprese and Grilled Cheese sandwiches and Latte.
This is a must visit place if you are around the neighborhood.”
“To Live For is worth driving from another country to visit! I live in the US, but make the drive frequently to enjoy their incredible baked goods, both sweet and savory. It is such a welcoming environment with incredible staff too. Highly recommend if you are anywhere near East Vancouver!”
“Fresh Live Pizza by Shrey and Komal is not just food — it’s an experience. From the moment they arrived, everything felt warm, professional, and filled with heart. Watching the pizza being made live right in front of us was such a treat — fresh dough, bubbling cheese, and the most delicious toppings sizzling right on the spot.
Shrey and Komal bring so much joy and passion to their service. They’re kind, friendly, and go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels special. You can taste the love in every bite — the crust is perfectly crisp, the sauce is flavorful, and the ingredients are top-notch.
Whether it’s a party, event, or just a craving for something unforgettable, this is the team to call. I’m genuinely blown away. Thank you, Shrey and Komal, for an incredible, delicious, and heartwarming experience. You’ve got a loyal customer for life!”
“I ordered the curry chicken, and it was really good. It had a nice sweet ish flavour and was very well seasoned. Plus, the staff there were lovely. I also liked the restaurant, we were seated on the patio, and the decorations, news, and food brought me right back to Korea. Definitely coming back here next time I’m in the area!”

“During my visit to Hyderabadi Biryani House with four friends, we had a delightful dining experience that truly showcased the restaurant's expertise in traditional Indian cuisine. The garlic naan was a highlight, with its soft, fluffy texture and rich garlic flavor that perfectly complemented the meal. The veg dum biryani was equally impressive, offering a fragrant mix of spices and perfectly cooked rice that provided a satisfying, hearty dish. The veg curries were another standout, with their rich, aromatic gravies and fresh vegetables that delivered a burst of authentic flavors. The meal was a fantastic experience, with these dishes standing out as the stars of the evening.”

“If you are like me and growing up in a household with “traditional, slow cooked, 12 hours on the stove” kinda’ dishes were just another regular Tuesday night dinner, you know those flavours and dishes are almost impossible to find elsewhere. La Tana has managed to create the same flavours, dishes and love that I remember so dearly sharing with my family around the table. Thank you La Tana”

“We recently celebrated my husbands 40th birthday with an amazing dinner at Nightingale! There were 12 of us and had a family style dinner, which every plate that came out was amazing. I wish I lived in Vancouver because I would frequent Nightingale weekly. Service was prompt and they were consistently keeping the drinks flowing.”

I HIGHLY recommend your food and restaurant.”

The food…delicious, the atmosphere… unique & cozy, the service… we are always treated like family and we were honoured to be included in their 50th Anniversary celebration this year. Tonight we enjoyed another fabulous dinner experience and we got to share it with our friend from Germany who loved it. Thank you to all our friends at Afghan, we look forward to dining with you in 2025!”
“absolutely 💯 the food, service, and room are all amazing”
“Amazing service from Olivia. This lady is one of the best if not the best servers I have ever had at any restaurant bar-none!!”
“we did the all you can eat. so much delicious food and the servers are super attentive. highly recommend”
“Loved every minute of our dining experience here! The aromas upon entering this wee spot got us excited, the welcoming staff were lovely, and then...the food. We ordered Omakase C - Cofu and were delighted! The presentation is artful, but not fussily so. The flavours were layered and subtle so every ingredient could be tasted. Our favourite was the salmon sushi (we ordered an extra 8 pieces!), rich, decadent and delish, especially with the Cilantro Cucumber sauce. We tried the Restore and Elevate mushroom tinctures on the rocks; unexpected flavours, but they grew on us paired with the food and a little ice melt dilution. We will go back time and again to try everything on the menu. Highly recommended!”
“What a cool place! Loved spending time with the kitties and trying the menu”
“Complete satisfaction on the whole Thailand food experience. Servers were extremely attentive, very kind and well mannered individuals. The cutlery was simple, delicate, and perfectly arranged on the table. The furniture was new, and the bathroom was spotless. We were definitely the first to arrive, but the place filled up quickly. The food was at the perfect temperature, and the flavor... that signature flavor of Thai cuisine: delicious, plentiful, and at a really reasonable price. Highly recommended, although the place isn't very spacious.”
“Perfect place for seafood lovers and delicious desserts selection.”
“An incredible evening. Food and drinks were amazing; service was perfect. It's such a great experience to let the restaurant make all the food decisions!! It was beautiful evening. Thank you TMR team!!”
“Great service from staff and exceptional food quality and preparation.”
“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!”
“Enjoyed the vibe, fast friendly service. Food was good and delicious 👍👍”
“I ordered the two sunny-side-up eggs with grilled lemongrass chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was just right for one person. However, my husband’s grilled chicken wasn’t cooked thoroughly.”
“We are visiting from Winnipeg and Tom sushi was recommended to us from friends that travelled to Vancouver. Safe to say this is one of the best sushi restaurant I've been to. It gets busy so we were told 1hr wait, but got a text after 30mins. Service great, food is great. Going to miss Tom sushi and the loin cheese Katsu!”
“WOW, i cannot believe this spot i just discovered. The sushi was so fresh. The fish ball soup was so comforting. The best of the meal is the CREAMY UDON. I can literally have two of it for myself. Aaa unfortunately i haven’t tried their alcohol menu yet. Overall, i love this place.🫰🏻🫰🏻☺️☺️”
“This tea shop in Vancouver Chinatown is a true gem for tea lovers and anyone curious about the world of tea. The quality and diversity of their teas are exceptional. Whether you're looking for delicate white teas, robust pu-erhs, or fragrant oolongs, they have an incredible selection that caters to all tastes and preferences. Each tea is carefully sourced, and you can really tell the care and expertise that goes into curating their offerings. The owner Daniel's passion for tea is infectious, and his knowledge is both deep and approachable. During a tea-tasting session, he guided us through a curated selection, explaining the nuances of each variety and how to properly savor them. It was a relaxing and educational experience, and I left with a greater appreciation for the art of tea. Whether you're a seasoned tea drinker or just starting to explore, The Chinese Tea Shop is a welcoming and enriching place to visit. I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of their wonderful teas and the chance to learn from Daniel's expertise.”
“Been here almost every month since I knew about this place.
Foods are great, and the staffs, like Emma, are so kind and nice, even noticing me coming back.
I love the way it feels like home coming to this establishment.
Will come back again for sure, just like I did past few months.”
“A great team front of house and back that will take good care of you, while having fun and enjoying their work. Had a new dish, Hokkaido scallop wrapped in Wagyu, it was decadent, flavorful and all around outstanding. Will keep coming back.”
“Great food, great service and a generally enjoyable ambience. Recommended.”
“Walked into Akbar’s Own Restaurant for the first time, and wow — I had no idea it was this beautiful inside! From the outside, I always just saw the white board due to the construction, so I never expected such a stunning space behind it. The interior is built so nicely — pure exotic vibes, super clean, and it smells amazing the moment you walk in. The ambience is cozy yet elegant, perfect for a relaxed meal.
I tried their Chana Bhatura and honestly… hands down the best I’ve had in Vancouver. Perfectly spiced, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this place if you’re craving authentic flavors and a beautiful dining experience. Definitely a new favorite! 👏🍽️✨”
“My favourite burger restaurant and one of my favourite restaurants in general in Vancouver. I crave vonns like every day all the time. Amazing food and great service I wish I lived closer so I could go more often!!”

“The hostesses at the front are vibrant and charming. They offer a complimentary glass of champagne to sip while you’re waiting. If you don’t imbibe, they will accommodate your soft drink request. We were seated at a table on the patio which is very close to the street. So if you choose to sit on the patio, There will be city sounds which, apart from the occasional siren, quickly dissolves into the artful landscaping. Raven, our server, was friendly and cheerful, in addition to being appropriately attentive. We started with the mini steak French dips. Expertly seasoned and grilled, new york steak strips over a button of gruyere cheese atop a tiny slice of sourdough garlic bread with a side of au jus. These were quite more-ish. I recommend them. My husband enjoyed the Mediterranean salad and I liked my seared ahi tuna salad very much. The tuna is sliced thicker than carpaccio but thinner than sushi and gently seared. The plating was elegant and the salad finely chopped with bits of mango and shaved avocado on the top.. I tasted a bit of mint leaf and the light dressing was truly perfect. The staff pay attention to the guests and, when your server is busy, they make themselves available for your needs. It appears the staff members enjoy each other’s company as well as their jobs. I observed real teamwork throughout. We had the apple pie for dessert. On its own it is delicious with a caramel apple filling and it’s flaky , buttery and crunchy crus. It can easily be shared by three people and would have been enough. But do’gild the lily’ by adding the Canadian maple ice cream. We felt comfortable and satisfied. We were pleased with every bite and the Joey Burrard experience from start to finish. We will definitely go back and try some other offerings. Go and have fun. And talk to the very friendly staff who are so willing to engage.”
“I love this place and I believe in supporting small family run businesses! This place is welcoming , comfortable and the brother sister duo is pleasant to see! These 2 make great coffee and serve simple fresh everyday dishes. When you need something on the run or want to chill and enjoy the crazy atmosphere and conversations on the drive, this is your place. I enjoy that everyone knows everyone like a Cheers vibe! These days people are so reserved and quiet and this place everyone talks openly and you get to just be yourself, no place like it! Thanks for being a part of pour community!”
“This was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, the owner was hilarious and made fantastic jokes throughout the meal, he served us food and told stories that were fantastic. The environment is very wholesome and pure and every employee is rushing and working extremely hard to serve amazing food that is not only the best crepes I’ve ever had but at a really reasonable price. If you’re in the area and have an appetite for even a snack, you definitely should go here for a drinks dm crepe”
“Delicious dishes in a very comfortable setting. Really pleasant servers who smile and make you feel comfortable. Overall the dishes were exceptional; I love the lamb curry and the vegetable thali. The butter chicken melts in your mouth. Try the happy hour lunch menu if you are by yourself. You get a tray of lamb, chicken or vegetable curry along with rice, naan, potato curry and crispy pakora. The main menu is all worth trying and sharing with friends. A very special place!”

“My first visit today following recommendations from 2 friends and it was a great experience. Friendly staff and totally delicious bread for my prosciutto and brie sandwich and truly excellent coffee in my cappuccino. Will certainly be visiting again. when i am in he area and all best wishes to the owners and staff for this gem to thrive.”
“We had my mother's 80th celebration catered by Eat Heritage, looking for a Chinese traditional feast-type ambience, and the food didn't disappoint. Everybody had favourites, but the duck went especially quickly, and the kids dug into the fully loaded fried rice and veggie spring rolls. Me, I was all about the black sesame balls which people appreciated despite having to eat them as dessert when they were already stuffed. We had a nice mix of vegetarian and meatlover dishes with leftovers divvied up after the celebration. Completely happy with the catering service!”

“Good food and timely service. Deluckshan is a very good server with a bright personality. Always provides timely updates on food and serves with a great attitude with a smile. Please visit the restaurant at Kingsway Location and Deluckshan will always be the good presenter for his work.”
“Made feel very welcome by the friendly staff, stylish decor and subdued lighting with seating that was spacious to provide that intimate atmosphere. Menu was extensive and the food was great, particularly loved the treacle sponge 😋 Bar area had TVs and music was playing for those that wanted a more social vibe.”
“If you are in Vancouver and want an amazing dining experience, we highly recommend Lift Bar and Grill. We dined here for supper on June 3, 2023, and absolutely loved the atmosphere as well as the food! Waterfront dining (they provide indoor/outdoor and roof top dining), with the water and mountain views was spectacular as we watched the sunset on the water. Our server Sean was very pleasant and courteous and made our time there very enjoyable. We started with Caesars and Soughdough Baguette, and then shared a Scallop & Prawns Linguine (we have smaller appetites). Both were absolutely Amazing dishes! The surprise birthday dessert was very much appreciated and delicious! We would say the cost is average for Vancouver restaurant dining. This is not a fast food restaurant, but chef prepared and is reflected in the presentation and taste! We will be back when we visit again!”
“Kobe’s Japanese Steakhouse is truly a one-of-a-kind dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone. It was lively, welcoming and full of energy. The hibachi experience was incredible. I loved watching the chefs cook right in front of us. You can tell they take pride in their craft with the fire show, knife tricks, and funny jokes. They kept everyone laughing and smiling the whole time. The food was also amazing with everything being cooked to perfection. Overall, Kobe’s delivers on all fronts: great food, great service, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just want a fun night out, this is the place to go! I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”

“Wow, we had a great time at Gary’s tonight. Second time at the restaurant (lat time was during the rugby seven’s weekend - an exciting time in Vancouver) - first time sitting at the bar (tonight) The kitchen was great to watch, my favourite moment was when two of the cooks bumped shoulders and they took a moment to pause and acknowledge (so great to see such a fantastic team working together). The food was incredible and we really appreciated the table menu with an addition of the foie gras to the night. But this story begins in 2007 when we watched World Cup rugby on a patio in Toulouse France when we had our first Fois Gras. The fois gras was just as good as our first experience - thank you kitchen! Thank you to all the staff but especially to Tina who provided some incredible pairings for the meal!”
“Where do I even begin. This experience was just that…an experience. Every single detail of our meal was meticulously thought out and considered. Chef Lee loves his craft and his passion for quality shows. From the moment you walk through the door it’s clear the night is one to remember.
Lee’s also assisted by his wonderful wife only making the experience that much better. It felt more like we’ve been invited to dinner at their home than at a restaurant.
Every ingredient, plate, cup and detail imaginable was carefully selected. You’re truly paying to watch someone prepare food they love and it last felt in each bite.
I haven’t left this wow’s after a meal in a long time and the recognition chef Lee and his team have gotten is well deserved.
We’ll definitely be returning again as the season changes to experience this again…CANT WAIT!!!”
“I was here before the renovation, it was really good then, now that they are 100% plant based i thought it would different, nope! Its still amazing!! I highly recommend the fully loaded sammy!
The new side they opened is absolutely beautiful! My friend i come with is celiac, she approves ! They really care about the difference between celiac and gluten free diets.”

“First time trying this place — loved the patio! The area wasn’t too busy, super cozy even though it was a bit windy. The staff were really friendly! The chef rotates, and we got the ceviche — it was okay, but the vibe totally made up for it. Would definitely come back to try more food! Overall 9/10 🤍”
“I love this place! Service, authenticity and vibe ♥️
Have tried almost everything on their menu and I must say it brings me closer to home.
This time I am adding a review because they went above and beyond. I ordered via doordash but they missed the chutney. When I called them up, their staff member came personally and gave me the chutneys and a surprise dessert, Gulab Jamun!
That’s how you win hearts. Great job guys. You are amazing 🤩”
“One of the most unique cafes in the city! I had the chicken and prosciutto sandwich with one of their cookies. They were both delicious! The staff were great too! The cafe was busy but the workers still noticed when I needed a refill of my water. I can’t wait to try one of their drinks when I return!”
“The first thing that hit me was how clean the venue was. The staff was very friendly. We chose the prix fixe. The steak was one of the best I’ve tasted because there were no tough bits at all and the sauce was SO good. The side salad was well balanced. I am GF so I asked for veggies on the side and they gave me these grilled mushrooms that were very addictive. The cocktails were delicious and my husband’s wine was so good.”
“This is our first time to try this gem here at Kingsway. And they never failed us! The foods are wonderfully delicious and amazingly flavourful! We are definitely going back. I highly recommend VAN 168 Coffee and Vietnamese Cuisine. The food is amazing, the service is great and the atmosphere is so nice. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤩”
