Unfortunately it wasn't executed well. Pork was under marinated, there was no tamarind taste, nor a hint of chili on it. What could have been a very tasty Thai dish turned out to be mediocre and disappointing. Presentation was nice and appealing though. Server is very nice and friendly. Ambiance is appealing.

The Story Cafe was one the few places that are close to the airport, open early in the morning, and have a high rating. The Story Cafe does live up to the good ratings! The restaurant was spacious with lovely vintage-like decors. The food portion was generous. We had their Fly Me to The Bennies with Salmon, Crab Cake Bennies, Egg In Purgatory, and Duck Confit Hash. All dishes were delicious. I had an oat mocha and to my surprise, there's a really good latte art, which is uncommon in metro Vancouver for drinks with oat milk. The service was normally good, no complaints! Highly recommend The Story Cafe for an early breakfast near the airport.

Boy, they sure dropped the ball with service this time. I've been a regular client over the years,…read moreand have come for weekend brunch, lunch on weekdays, dinners, and even the Thursday live music nights. This is a Saturday at about 3:10pm. Upon entry, we saw only two or three tables occupied. Our waitress took her time coming up to us, and didn't really greet us. She just said they only have the Happy Hour menu as it was after 3pm. We never had Happy Hour before, but based on our past experiences, we were quite sure the smaller menu will be fine. I told her there are 4 of us, and she had to look around the restaurant, and then a looooong gaze at her tablet showing the tables. She pointed to a table towards the wall with the record player. We approached the table, then my wife wanted to sit at the end table behind ours. We asked the waitress, and she said it was reserved! OK, fine. We'll settle into our first table. We found it odd as reservations are not allowed during brunch and happy hour until 5pm. We were there shortly after 3pm. She then brought us menus, but only cared to bring two, when she knows there are four of us. Not a word, and just walked away. I turned towards her but she was already walking away. By this time, I didn't bother anymore. I just walked over myself and grabbed the menu. Then she didn't serve us anymore. Another Asian young man then came with the water bottle. A bit more eye contact this (yay) but still no smile. Just asked us what to drink. Took order and stepped away. We then ordered our dishes, and the food came promptly, except for the flat bread, which came more towards the end when other items are nearly finished. All good, but all of us just felt a whole different vibe this time, all having been here before. Sure enough, the table behind was still unoccupied by the time we left an hour later. Hmm. We were actually there to celebrate my birthday but we weren't really in the mood after not one but two servers seem to need more training. Oh, and heads up. When you call, you'll be talking to AI, not a human being! This should be a 1 star but the good food saved the day.

Certainly will be back and bring more friends. Had the Hearty Man's Combo with the Craffles (house made and was absolutely delicious). Craffles is like a croissant and waffle so very crispy on the outside and finished with a dusting of sugar powder. The sunny side eggs were cooked perfectly too. Also had the chicken bento box. Rice cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist. Very filling meal. Vibe is local neighbourhood. Not fancy but cozy and clean. Free parking on the side street.

I picked something simple to try as my first visit. Fried eggs in sunny side up with bacons and potato wedges - nicely cooked and I love the bacons were so crispy! The latte - taste nice and full body texture. I'd love to try this place again for lunch.

That being said, I was lucky to snag a pair of seats that were shared with another couple, when those people left. Finding a seat here is polite but cutthroat! Guests here keep tables clean, even with high turnover. The sweet lady taking orders spoke only a small amount of English, but there were no issues communicating with her. I got the popcorn chicken meal. Solid amount of chicken and all very savory and crunchy. It came with a small tea. My partner got the kuay teow which was also very good in flavor and portion.

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

All the courses came with their own sides which was great! Salmon course 4.5/5 maybe it was me and I waited too long to eat so my salmon dried out a little bit the flavor was so good that I didn't mind. I normally hate overcooked salmon but I wouldn't say this was overcooked. Beef course 5/5 the egg was beautifully cooked. The beef was plentiful and I love the addition of the ginger. Udon soup 4.5/5 you get your choice of beef, pork or chicken. It comes with a side of tempura. It was good! Hot and fresh. I love that the temprua was not in the soup. Mango soda 3/5. Refreshing yes. But I expected it to be sweeter or have more mango flavour. Also, if you post a photo on social media, you get a free order of prawn tempura which was nice. Overall we had a great experience. Will definitely come back again!

The atmosphere isn't loud and the vibes felt good Chicken burger ($24)- comes with one hashbown and a salad. The hashbrowns came with each dish we ordered. They look great but I feel like they could have been a bit crispier on each side. I would want like a harder shell (not sure if that makes sense). Flavour wise I like that it isn't too salty. The salad was also really refreshing and well dressed. The burger itself was great. Loved the brioche bun and the fried chicken was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very juicy. Would recommend this dish Bulgogi Benedict with kimchi and 2 hashbrowns (24) - I felt like this one was a huge disappointment. The bulgogi was a big chewy. I did like that it wasn't too sweet. The egg itself was very pale but it was poched well. The hollandaise sauce was not luscious enough (personal preference). Wish it was more buttery. It was more watery Fisherman's breakfast ($22) - I would not get this again. The bacon was a bit hard to cut. The eggs were okay I like that they weren't heavily seasoned. The sourdough bread was very generic. I wouldn't get this again Overall great for brunch in groups of 4. The food can be a hit or miss. Food isn't heavily seasoned which is good. The drinks look good but we didn't try any. The servers are all really nice and they are fast.

The kind of facilities you'd come to expect walking in. The service was excellent, our server was cheerful and kind. While I didn't have silverware intitially, I was still in a yolking mood, it didn't bother me in the slightest, The tables were preset, so really, it isn't a fault of theirs. Our server was attentive and careful, and we felt welcome. It felt easy to come out of my shell. The food was incredible, and made my morning. I ended up finishing my friends' plates! We all got benedict, the avocado, shrimp, and duck. Having tried them all, i would most recommend the duck. It was incredibly tender and the sauce worked well with the holliandaise. The shrimp was delicious, the fish paste took well, though the shrimp were a bit chewy and difficult to cut. I had been craving an eggs benedict, so i came to the professionals. Despite their reputation, they still exceeded my eggspectations! Five Stars.

Friendly staff, tons of parking (as connected to a hotel), close enough to access from the bigger road without a lot of effort, decently priced brunch (which I think is hard to find in any of the greater Vancouver areas) & lots of different table sizes. I especially appreciated the waitress seating me at a place I requested (so my cane wouldn't be an issue for safety to others trying to get to tables or even serve me). Bathroom was large & easy to access, even though it's all the way at the back of the restaurant. Lots of natural light from the big windows & it was nice for those of us seated along the sunnier side to be able to adjust the blinds ourselves. I also was impressed with how the noise didn't bother me on such a large place. I know it wasn't nearly anywhere near full capacity while I was leisurely enjoying my meal there, but still enough people (and families with younger kids) to know how sound would carry.
