The food is overpriced at the burger shop and they don't give you that much fries. The service was nice though. I probably wouldn't come back here for lunch.

I enjoy eating lunch here from time to time as they have a variety of food options to choose from.Teriyaki Boys has good food, though sometimes they put too little sauce on their main dishes.My kids enjoyed trying some of the other foods here as well, and that variety let everyone get something they would like.My biggest complaint is the seating here. The chairs just aren't comfortable, being a little bit too small for an adult, which makes the experience a bit less than it could be.Parking: The ramp here is too expensive, but provides enough space, so it's a trade off.Kid-friendliness: There's a lot of options, so kids should be able to find something they like.

The service you get depends on the station you go to, but overall, great lunch place for people who work downtown. All of the food could do with less oil, especially Fernando's.

The only reason for three stars is price and portion. I paid $18 and change for a chicken and shrimp plate which was very good. However the portion of food was massive. Cut the portion down some and charge less. But again food was great so if you don't mind the price go for it!

Not great. Waited for 25-30 min for some fries which were just ok, the people serving them were pretty nice. The downside for me was it just felt like a highschool cafeteria.

The son and Missus got the China Star. Hence the 4 stars. Food was salty and selection was dismal. Especially for noon on a Friday. I on the other hand got the Burger Shop. Habanero cheeseburger with onion rings. On point! Service was great all around though, even at China Star. Atmosphere was cool too. A little hipster for my taste, but cool nonetheless.

I really wanted to like this place, however the hours are insufferable. They make it an inconvenience to even attempt to go there.

Fix your hours and be more specific on which eatery opens at 7am.. only Prep Kings opens at 7am. The rest opens at 10-11am. Would have been nice to know before I went there at 8:30 this morning expecting to grab some Mexican food but everything was closed. I've never been there before so when Local Bites states that it opens at 7am, you assume all of them are available at 7am, not just one place. It's a little misleading.

Perfect for quick food at the office during lunch time
