I recommend checking & opening the containers before leaving the restaurant, however. I asked for vegetables to be cooked until very soft for my elderly mother's weak teeth. They were not cooked soft. Perhaps communication error. Nice family-run place. I am used to Chinese-American cooking, which this is not. It seems authentic Chinese. A mandarin-speaking couple was dining in while I was there. Prices were higher than what I was used to for Chinese takeout. But I am new to the area and this is an upscale neighborhood. If you have a yen for Chinese food, give it a try!

After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

We also sat right beside the pick up window so it was fun seeing food come out! The food was fantastic. See pictures for what we ordered. Not sure if I can remember the names of everything but it was a perfect combo!!

Expected it to be served with peanut sauce, but did enjoy the sweet sauce it came with. The heat scale is 1 to 10. We asked for med and she wrote down "3". When I questioned that, she said they run hot. The panange curry was mild. I asked for fresh chili sauce to bring up the heat for more balance. I also found the sauce on that dish to too thick/heavy. Loved the fried rice with veg and added pork. And our favorite dish was the basil noodles with chicken. Great layered flavors. Sevice was fine, though once we had our food, it was hard to flag down someone for a napkin.

Everything was great but the Pad Thai and Green Curry were especially good, and the Bangkok Fried Rice came with a quantity of seafood. All of the portions were large and the green curry did some with a side of rice. Service: The phone order process was smooth and was about a 45 min wait since the restaurant was busy at the time (Thursday night). Pickup was easy and the staff was really kind and offered us sambal spicy sauce and a homemade chili oil Price: Dishes come at about $20 each which is pretty standard, and the portions were generous enough to feed 4 with some leftovers

Before ending our camping trip, we stopped by this cute Japanese restaurant before our ferry. The…read morerestaurant is very spacious and clean with modern decor. There wasn't a lineup when we got there, so we were seated right away. Their menu has lots of options of different rolls, udon, sashimi etc. Because it was lunch time, we ordered some bento box. I ordered bento box A with California roll for my daughter, and chicken udon for myself. My hubby ordered some sushi taco, and a Ubuild bento box. The food came pretty slow, which was strange. There wasn't a lot of customers when we got there. The bento boxes were pretty fresh with good portion. The sushi taco was a little yummy, however, the deep fried seaweed is on the greasy side with lots of batter. I was a little disappointed with the chicken udon, it was pretty standard and the chicken was pretty soggy. However, nothing beats a hot bowl of soup in a rainy day. Overall, we still enjoyed our meal. Not sure if I will go back, but I'm glad we got to experience it.

The ramen were frozen ramen packets you can buy at the grocery stores and the soup was definitely not pork bone soup simmered for hours. They did try to make some fusion taste and it was ok but because of the lack of work needed to make this, it should not be priced similar to real ramen. Also comes with a button mushroom disguised as a shitake mushroom. The udon soup was on par with other japanese restaurants since the dashi stock is fairly easy to make. The portion is very huge and the taste is not bad. The tempura was fried nicely. This one is priced fairly. Since Port Alberni lacks authentic Japanese cuisines, this is all they have. Taste-wise is ok for a fusion palate.

Crispy, generous, and a fun twist on Korean comfort food…read more KUTLET is a cozy spot in Tsawwassen that specializes in Korean-style cutlets, and they do it really well. I tried the Klassic Kutlet Set with the prawn and premium pork tenderloin. The premium pork tenderloin was crispy on the outside and tender and juicy inside, and the prawn were a nice addition for a bit of variety. The set comes with rice, soup, cabbage salad, pickles, and kimchi - so it's a full, filling meal and good value for the portion size. The sauces pair nicely with the cutlets, and the cabbage salad and pickles help cut through the richness. Service was friendly and the food came out fresh. The menu has plenty of other options too (bibimbap, Korean fried chicken, kutlet kurry). Highly recommend for anyone craving something crunchy, comforting, and a little different.

I went with the pork tenderloin set which comes with refills of sides I believe, but I didn't need to avail of those. I was curious to try this spot since I saw they were on dineout Vancouver 2026 but I probably wouldn't make the trek out here for that, so the lunch set was the next best thing! Food took a bit to arrive but it came hot and nicely presented. I wished the server would have explained what the three dipping seasonings were that were included in the dish, my guess is sole kind of seasoned salt in addition to the wasabi. I wish there was more pork as it was a bit pricey for what it was. However, I did enjoy their kimichi which was layered with alternating leaf and stem pieces, and the purple rice was a nice touch. The cabbage came with some dipping sauce that I had to use quite a lot of to give it sole flavour, I think I would have preferred the slaw style sauce. At the end of the day, I was pretty full from this set and didn't need to ask for any refills, but would have preferred more pork and less if that rice/cabbage. Service was prompt and pleasant.
