    Blackened Chicken burger
    Bryan D.

    A rare, out of the way jewel in Richmond, BC, Canada in the more bizarre of locations. Boy with a Knife is found in an industrial area of the city where you would not expect a restaurant to be. I found it due to the shuttle I take to the office passed by a sign and I had to know what it was about. I have had both the blackened chicken burger and the miso mushroom burger and both were fantastic. They have also some of the best French fries I've had in a long time, opting to make them notable instead of the usual generic. The sandwiches are large, well made and dedecidely fresh tasting. If you are within distance I recommend giving them a visit or at the very least getting an order via Uber Eats or some other service.

    Open concept Kitchen
    Debbie W.

    I've always wanted to try this place, but never had a chance until last week. It was definitely a nice kitchen for the companies around that area. Lots of people go there for work lunch and work gathering. I ordered the Cobb salad with steak, it was a pretty big portion and I was definitely full. I liked all the ingredients in the salad especially the soft heart boiled egg. I ordered decaf coffee but they don't have anything decaf, which kinda caught me off guard. Most of the restaurant would have it. The kitchen is open concept, it's very clean however, you can definitely smell the meat on the grill. In terms of location, I find it's a bit out of the way and a bit hard to find. My GPS couldn't find the exact location, so I had to drive around a bit. When I got there, I really needed to change my baby's diapers. When I saw the stairs, I was a little put off because there's no ramp around, which is fine, I asked my friend to come out and helped me with the stroller. But when I got in and tried to find the diaper changing table, I was told that they don't have one. I guess it's not baby friendly after all. Given the style and location, I wouldn't expect it has one, however, I don't think I will go back with the baby, unless they want me to change the diaper in the dining room again lol.

    Saw this when i was searching for burger joints about 2 years ago. Was close to my old job but i was never allowed to "leave" for lunch time. They dont open late or on weekends since its in a business area so i never got to try. Finally got to go and tried their lamb burger with fries. Man.... it's so hard finding a good burger in the lower mainland, specifically in richmond. But this was amazing. It's no shake shack but its pretty bomb. The lamb was so moist and tender. The bun (and you guys need to know bread and me don't go together) was so soft. I think it was probably brioche since that's really the only bread i could consider finishing. This burger had a great combination of herbs and spices and didn't take away at all from the wonderful lamb flavor. The fries were shoestring which.. typically i dont like but these were good. It is kind of pricy.. the lamb burger was $16 but! I think it was worth it. This is a must try! The location is definitely unique. It's in a loading area sort of but the decor is pretty nice. It's even got a small deli on the other side. Plus its always a good meal when you smile from all the lamby burps u get for the rest of the day =)

    Finally got to try this place! It's hard to come by especially when they're only open for lunch on weekdays. This place is a little hard to find - do not trust Google Map, instead follow the signs along the road and you will see a warehouse with umbrellas outside! I got a miso mushroom burger and a pulled pork sandwich (around $15 each). I really enjoyed the bun they use and the flavours of the burger/sandwich. They were tasty (and a lot messy)! The pulled pork wasn't very tender, but flavour-wise, it was solid. A little more bbq sauce would have been great. The miso burger is EXTREMELY salty. I didn't taste any miso flavour, but I suspect the miso was the salt element in the burger. On top of the already salty burger was a layer of bacon, which made the burger more salty. The flavours however, was quite delicious. I ordered a side of salad and fries, but was accidentally given two salads instead. I wasn't even mad considering the salad was a nice refreshing touch that combatted the salty burger, but we found the salad vinaigrette too sour. Portion is quite big. Overall, food was average. The miso burger was way too salty. I was quite thirsty after the meal.

    Complimentary cucumber / mint water !

    Trendy cool new place by my work! I heard about it through a co-worker and I browsed on the website to check out the menu. I was so impressed by all the options that I just had to make a visit! There really aren't any cool places to go for lunch in our area that are within walking distance, except for this place! I absolutely hate taking my car out when I only have 30 minutes for lunch, but the fact that I could walk to this place sparked my interest even more On a thursday afternoon a couple co-workers and I hit up the deli area. I was impresed with the nice clean design of the place and the fact that they gave you complimentary cucumber/mint water (yum!). I ordered the oven roasted turkey sandwich that had DELICIOUS caramelized onions and cranberries on toasted sour dough bread. I saw on the menu display that in one of their sandwiches, they used sriracha mayo (which I'm a HUGE fan of!). I just had to ask for a side of it to add on to my sandwich! and man, I'm glad I did! that kick of spice along with the sweetness of the onions and cranberries literally hit the spot just right. Would I come here again? Hell yeah! Check out the photos I've posted to see how cool this place is! Next time, I want to order from the grill menu. Their crispy chicken sandwich looks CRAZY good!!!

    Cali chicken burger
    Kait M.

    Came here with coworkers. They have been big fans of the deli ever since it opened. Ordered the chicken burger and half the table ordered the pork belly quinoa rice bowl. The ingredients in the chicken burger were fresh. Liked the addition of avocado and sprouts. However I wasn't a fan of the kaiser bun. It threw off the bun to filling ratio. Way too much bun. Other guys also ordered the salmon burger and they thought the same thing. Coworkers who ordered the pork belly bowl were all super disappointed. Most of them had a hard time finishing the bowl. The pork belly was overlooked and too tough to eat and there was too much quinoa without enough dressing which ended up being pretty bland. Not sure if my burger was worth $16. We will probably all come back to give this place another shot. If anything, save half the price and order a sandwich from the deli.

    South American Steak Sandwich
    Stephy Y.

    We had their daily special which was a sandwich combo of your choice. Any sandwich in the glass display + small soup or small salad. I got the braised beef sandwich with the bisque while my friend got the salami proscuitto and the chicken rice butternut squash soup. I still like their salami procuitto the most. The braised beef was good too but the horseradish sauce was a bit too sharp for me. It did pair well with the bisque. So I was glad I went with those two instead. The better of the soup, in irrespective of the sandwich, would be the butternut squash. Note: Their closing time now is 2:30pm instead of 2pm. and I only realized after ordering that the grill section is at the back. Now I need to make another visit, which I don't mind.

Upon check in, they estimate the wait time would be 25-30 minutes. We are seated at 10:10am. The most impressive dish is the smoked salmon egg Benedict. We asked to serve the béarnaise sauce by the side. The blueberries pancake is soooooo fluffy. A must try. The hash brown is crispy on top and soft at bottom. We like it so much that we needed to order another one as a side dish. Chicken and waffles are good but not as great as the above three. Meat lovers omelette is normal. The most disappointing dish is the wontons. Traditional wontons have real prawn fillings. This one has a meatball texture which is quite off putting to me. While the restaurant decor and appearance can be improved, overall still an enjoyable experience. We definitely love the food here than OEB.

    Ambiance: 3/5 Food: 5/5…read moreService: 5/5 This place is exactly what it promises to be! We had wanted to try this spot for so long and finally got the chance on a Saturday morning. The website says to get there by 8:30 if you want to grab a table without waiting which we thought was crazy, but when we showed up at 8:32 we managed to snag the last free table so they're spot on with their timing! Lots of parties showed up right after us and the waitlist was super long by the time we left. As for ambiance, it's meant to be a greasy spoon diner at the back of a lumber yard so that's exactly what it is. The only part I wasn't expecting and didn't enjoy was that every few minutes you got a waft of the washroom smell even though we were sitting far from it, mostly because there's not a ton of ventilation in a small spot. The staff were super friendly and attentive which was lovely! I got the veggie omelette which came with their shredded hash browns and bread and my partner got the burger and fries. Everything was delicious! Huge portions and well priced. I especially loved the hash browns which were crispy on the outside. Overall a great spot! Just make sure to get there early if you don't want to wait

It's right across the street from Faith Church so if you happen to attend that church, this is a great place to drop by for lunch after the service, and if you don't happen to attend the church...still a great place to drop by for lunch! We're huge fans of poutine and I am always on the lookout for places that serve their poutine with vegetarian friendly gravy. So when I messaged this place awhile back to ask if their gravy was vegetarian friendly and they replied that it is, I knew we had to come here sometime. I shared half a Grilled cheese sandwich and a full order of poutine with my daughter. Also ordered a can of coke. I never said anything about wanting a combo meal. I assumed I'd be paying for everything a la carte but the lady said she would include the coke as a combo meal. This was unexpected and I thought it was very kind of her to do that, so...5 stars for the service! Food was awesome too. The sandwich was filled with lots of ooey gooey cheese. Gravy on our poutine was nice and hot so there was lots of melting action happening with the cheese curds. Oh, and there's free wifi at this place. Highly recommend this place!

There are some small tables for two along with high tables. I ordered the 'hot' sandwich, chicken parm. I was expecting crispy chicken parm with yummy cheese and rich tomatoe sauce. Let's be honest, the star of this show is the bread! The baguette was warm, soft and so delicious. However, that's where the excitement stopped for me. The chicken with breading was soggy and the pesto and mozzarella was such a small amount, it felt like a soggy chicken sandwich with lots of bread. If they put more pesto dressing, more mozzarella cheese and more tomatoe sauce, I could have looked past the soggy chicken. All in all, I'm glad it tried it, the bread is amazing, and I'll come back to try a 'cold' sandwich to see if the other options are better!

The best part of the sandwich was the bread, they sourced it par baked from a bakery and finished it in store. it was amazing. For some reason (I expect cost) they stopped doing that and now get the bread from another of their locations. I would agree with some other reviews here, Mangia's is a bit expensive, but I and my friends were willing to pay for quality. The new bread they use is dry, tough and sub par, I tried to get used to it twice, but will not be going back. This review could have been one star but for the fact that the staff are amazing.
