Hands down the best Szechuan place I've ever tried, and I'm very picky when it comes to spicy food. They don't shy away from heat, which makes everything feel much more authentic. You can customize your spice and oil levels, but even at their standard level, the dishes were spectacular and true to real Szechuan flavors. I actually stumbled upon this place by chance -- the exterior caught my eye right away. Inside, it's intimate and cozy with warm lighting and a thoughtful setup. Even the little details stood out; the teapot and liquor bottles were so beautifully designed that I had to admire them for a moment. Service was fast and efficient, which I appreciated given how busy they were. The food is definitely on the pricier side, but genuinely worth it for the quality and flavor. My only wish is that they offered more vegetable options to balance out the high-spice, high-oil dishes. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this spot and will absolutely come back every time I'm in Vancouver. Highly recommend!

Amazing stir fry with good seasoning and control of the heat while cooking. The woks and their techniques gave dishes aroma and character. My favorite dish was the bullfrog, which was so tender and flavorful!

Naw

Service is the same as every Chinese restaurant not the best. But the food on other hand was NUTSSS. We paid around 35$ after tips per person which doesn't come on the cheaper end but it was super filling. We got basa fish soup dish, spicy beef and spicy fried boneless chicken. The fried boneless chicken dish's peanuts were not crunchy as the previous time that I came. The free side dish was radish this time, preferred the beans one from last time tbh. The coconut milk drink was sooo good the packaging looks sketchy but damn the drink was phenomenal! The sticky rice with brown sugar syrup was comforting , great way to end the meal! Recommend to come w a group of friends so you can try a lot of dishes!! Also in this economy , pack the leftovers without the meat to go and you can always fry some protein at home to cook it!

Nothing beats a heart bowl of Jack's chowder on a cold autumn breezy day. Yay finally got to to…read morecheck this place out after a long wait due to the chaotic life schedule. Had a few hours to kill before the Bruno Mars concert and I decided to check out this gem out in Vancouver. Im so glad I decided to get out of my comfort zone and opted to enjoy the chowder in the sourdough bread bowl. First time ive ever had a soup this way, the lid of the bread bowl was so fluffy and it was a great addition to dip into the soup to enjoy. I also needed a bit of a healthy balance so I tried the apple sesame coleslaw and yum it hit the spot. A really good generous amount for an appetizer to add to the side. I am definitely going to go back to try more items next time. I went at a good time, no lineup didnt have to wait and service was pretty fantastic. Food was ready pretty speedy too and noise level was quiet and peaceful. Super easy to find free parking and prices are pretty reasonable. If you love chowder id definitely recommend you to check this gem out if you haven't already. Sometimes im late on trends.

Came in with high expectations, left feeling disappointed. Fish was just ok with soggy wet batter…read more The clam chowder bowl was good but not really mind blowing like I've had before. The star of the show, surprisingly, was the coleslaw and the fries. Service was friendly and they checked on you often, filled your water. Atmosphere wasn't the most enjoyable as you can't really hear your table talk because the staff are having TOO good of a time working and laughing. While I think it's great to have a workplace where employees enjoy where they work, it didn't make a nice dining experience for us. Overall, Jack's is just mid level fish and chips... but I don't think I'll be back. Followed your story on IG for a while so I wish you all the best.

If I could give this 10 stars I would! One of the best meals I've ever had. I forgot to take…read morepictures because I was ravenous and forgot. We ordered the beet salad, coconut prawns and burger. The salad was so outstanding I ordered another one instead of desert! Spoiler alert, we ended up ordering the lemon tart too because I just ate two salads so I earned desert. Eve waited on us and was incredibly charming, very excited to share the experience with us. The vibe was just perfect! We will be back!

The warm, rustic interior with exposed brickwork and intimate dining spaces provided a cozy, welcoming setting that instantly charmed everyone at the table. The service was remarkably thoughtful and engaging, ensuring a seamless and memorable dining experience from beginning to end. The food exceeded expectations once again: the decadent Pulled Pork Poutine and crispy Salmon Cakes were an absolute hit, while the rich Wild Seafood Pappardelle delivered pure ocean perfection. Sweeping through the menu to finish with the luscious Maple Sugar Pie brought the entire meal to a triumphantly sweet close.

We were going to go to a usual lunch spot of ours, but I've had my eye on Burgoo for a while…read more Here we go.... Walking into a rustic and cozy eatery while a friendly smile from a far welcomes us with every step handing us a menu and seating us in the cutest little booth right by the window overlooking charming Burrard street. I fell in love with the menu right away because it has all my favourite comfort foods. Take a look at the menu....you'll see.... We got the Soup & Salad combo (Mushroom Medley and FAB salad). .........The soup was everything a Mushroom Medley should be. Perfect proportions, spectacular seasoning and spot on temperature. (Yes, I've been served luke-warm soup before. It was not pretty.) The FAB salad. It was well....Fab. Every single ingredient was fresh. Every single one, and topped with red onion. Not adding red onion into a salad is like.....not adding basil to your pasta sauce. They got every detail covered. The Sandwich & Salad (Tasty Chicken Sandwich with FAB salad.) ...........The Chicken Sandwich was the best I've ever had. Just try it. You'll see. The FAB salad....well...we already covered that cutie. The service was warm, friendly, attentive and professional. With this place, aside from their kickass food, what really impressed me was their attention and care to detail. To the point where, when I asked for ice water....the glass was spotless, the water filled not too full and not lacking topped with a Fresh Cut Lemon Wedge. Obviously you have the tasty food, Quality service, and Clean Establishment that render a restaurant as great, but in my book, it's the little things that hoist it up to Excellent. And that is exactly what this place was. Excellent.

Hit the spot. I was looking for something not too heavy but sustaining and this soup and salad…read morecombo fit the bill. Nice weeknight ambiance. Friendly service and tasty meal.
