A revisit after almost ten years and it was as delicious as I remember! We got their Masago Creamy Spaghetti, the Hiyashi with hamburg and the curry poutine. All delicious, homey and the best way to represent Japanese Western fusion! The place itself is quite small and only seats when your entire party is there. The service is friendly and genuine. Although they have a "time limit" for your party, you don't feel rushed and can enjoy a delicious meal here! read more

Although the price has increased over a decade of being coming here, the quality remains the same, which is really good food. The shop is a cute little space that's tucked in a quiet neighbourhood and can be busy at times. The pasta is very al dente, and has just the right flavours, not too overpowering or heavy at all. Only thing I would nitpick would be the service, coming from a hospitality field before, I would look for 2 things - attentive with the water refill (especially on a hot day) and just asking once how the food was, this allows the customer to let you know how it is and to provide feedback if any to the staff. Unfortunately, this visit, both were neglected and I noticed that the workers were just standing around. Other than just dropping off the food since you order on their order sheet now, I don't see what other service is provided. read more

Haven't been here for years but a friend set a lunch meeting here and so here I am. Came in mid afternoon so wasn't very busy. My friend craved about the hamburger steak so I had ordered the one with curry rice and she the spaghetti. The look on my friend's said it all. It was different she put it mildly. The Hamburg was hard instead of tender and juicy, and warm at best. So was mine. I think for mine the curry sauce kind of saved it so I went ahead with mine. She told the waiter and he brought hers back to the kitchen. 15 minutes later a new dish appeared. This time she said that's exactly the good hamburger she had last time. So I took a bite and yes! It was now night and day compared to mine. It was juicy soft and tender. We conclude that mine was basically way under prepared. Aside from that, my bigger disappointment is that the hamburger was made of pork. This is a major detour from the usual beef version, the classic Japanese cuisine. So for the money, it's not comparable to most other Japanese places that use beef. I now see other reviews that commented on the inconsistency. We experienced that today. read more

Cozy little cafe in Marpole that serves Japanese fusion food but at its heart-it's comfort food and there do it well. My 2nd time here and still enjoying. My friend and I shared the Carbonara Spaghetti with hamburger steak (good amount of pasta and the sauce was light. I would have preferred a little more seasoning but I enjoyed); Special of the Day: Tuna Don which had a good amount of tuna chunks coated in a nutty sauce; and Mango Coconut Parfait. The photos on the menu were helpful in deciding. You order your food/drinks on the order form. Service and was friendly and efficient. I suggest parking on the side street as the small complex's parking spaces is small and tight. Looking forward to my next return will try their curry rice dishes. read more

Discovered a true hidden gem in Marpole! It is not my first time at Cafe de L'Orangerie but is an absolute must-try if you haven't. This Japanese fusion cafe blew us away with their incredible Japanese-inspired pastas, curries, desserts, and coffees. It's a cozy spot, but packed with deliciousness, happy people, and wonderful staff. This visit, we devoured the Salmon Teriyaki, Hayashi (Orangerie style beef stew) with Chicken Cutlet, Pesto Spaghetti, and Creamy Tomato Spaghetti. And the Shanghai Fog (jasmine tea with white chocolate sauce and milk) was pure bliss! Highly recommend! read more

Cute hidden gem that have been frequenting for years that is owned and operated by local Japanese. They offer a Japanese fusion of pasta dishes with Japanese curry, hamburger steaks, and assorted desserts and drinks. Super cute place to go with friends, family, or for a date. Took my boyfriend here last week and we ordered the masago pasta, pear tart a la mode, grapefruit cheesecake and a genmaicha tea. The masago pasta was filling with generous amounts of mushroom, asparagus, squid, and masago. My boyfriend really enjoyed the pear tarte and I found the grapefruit cheesecake light, refreshing, and really satisfying. Highly recommend for a cozy Japanese experience with cute polite consistent service. read more

I haven't frequented this restaurant in a very long time. We arrived around lunchtime and to our surprise we were able to be seated immediately. We ordered the classic Masago De Creamy Spaghetti (Capelin roe, squid, mushroom, asparagus, cream, shredded seaweed). The sauce was very watery, the dish lacking in flavour and the ingredients were platry. There was possibly half an asparagus cut into several pieces and what seemed like one small squid tentacle cut up. We also ordered the Wafu Spaghetti (soy sauce based, bacon, mushroom, cabbage, garlic, bonito flakes, shredded seaweed). The flavour was good but again stingy on ingredients. Overall not the same spot in our memories. read more

We got seated quickly dispute the store being small but you can expect the seats to be quite tight and small. Nonetheless we enjoyed the space and got the food quickly. We got the Masago pasta and carbonara. The masago pasta may be watery and ingredients are spares but I find it tasty. The carbanara was creamy but felt more like a creamy white sauce pasta than actually tasting the egg. I used to love this place but I'd say it's good for an everyday lunch place - 8/10. read more

I finally got to visiting this fan favourite restaurant when I had an appointment nearby! I had heard so many good things about the food and was so excited to try it. it was a solo lunch so I didn't get to try too many dishes and could only opt for two entrees before I got called a greedy glutton LOL but I can't wait to go back to explore the rest of the menu! the parking lot is tiny so you may have to peruse the residential streets for parking. the staff are welcoming, kind and so nice. Japanese restaurants are so famous for their flavours and customer service and this is definitely the case here. I ordered the matcha azuki latte and it was very comforting and loaded with azuki. also ordered masago hamburger spaghetti and their special tuna gomae don with miso soup. the spaghetti was so creamy and filling! great flavours and definitely had a nice umami taste. the tuna gomae don was a great lunch dish and also very filling. I happily took the leftovers of both dishes home for dinner and sharing! the inside is cozy with tight spacing. read more

Sorry to be negative, but I had takeout from where I live across the street and the food was terrible. I was served by a lovely person, but what I had to eat ended up in my food compost. I had the creamy tomato spaghetti with hamburger steak. The pasta was cooked to a nice al dente, it was the dried noodles you can buy in any supermarket, but that sauce....it tasted like ketchup and cream with a hint of garlic. The dish offers bite sized pieces of chicken with mushroom. Mine had no chicken at all, and I could actually count five thin slices of button mushrooms. I had one bite of the hamburger steak and I'm still trying to get that taste out of my mouth, even after brushing my teeth five times. I see that place packed with people, so I wonder if I just choose the wrong dish, but I won't go back. read more

I went here for dinner recently. Tried the masago spaghetti with hamburger steak and the wafu spaghetti. The masago pasta was delicious and loved the juicy hamburger steak. However the wafu spaghetti was quite dry and not that enjoyable. The taste was there but I wish there was some kind sauce that goes with it. The grapefruit cheesecake for dessert was yummy and not too sweet. Service was friendly and efficient. It's a neat Japanese Italian fusion spot but not sure I would crave it often. read more

If we're ever in the area, Cafe de I'Orangerie is our go-to place because their dishes never disappoint. We always get their Masago de Creamy Spaghetti dish because of how delicious, rich, and smooth the sauce and dish is. It's a fairly small place, so there's usually line ups. Service is fast and friendly, and it has a nice ambience to the space with a Japanese-style feel. read more

Must confirm what a great place this is. We've been back multiple times. This time: - hayashi special is the bomb. Great hayashi stew and you get two pawns with the usual great hamburger steak. - everyone loved the carbonara. Great sauce. - masago has a great cream sauce. They also have great desserts and cheesecake. Didn't have any this time. This is definitely a place to come back to. read more

Haven't been here for a while and they are still pretty busy I had the Mentaiko spaghetti and added the Hamburg patty. There were seafood pieces and a light creamy sauce I am not a fan of the Hamburg spices but the patty was pretty tender I actually enjoyed the dessert more, especially the matcha cheese tart The tart shell was buttery and the matcha cream was very smooth Prices were pretty fair read more

It's a small, cozy, and quaint restaurant/cafe tucked away in a neighborhood strip mall. It gets pretty busy here very fast, but the staff try their best. Food is very homestyle Japanese-Italian food. It's nothing super crazy, we had two of their pastas and my sisters definitely loved it since it's hard to get these flavors where we live. I loved the desserts tho and I felt like the desserts were the best about this place. Their grapefruit cheesecake was very refreshing and their matcha pudding had a lot of matcha flavor which was balanced out by the sweet azuki beans. The Shanghai fog was jasmine tea with white chocolate sauce but we didn't taste too much white chocolate. Their fried octopus was great, and their croquettes were a nice experience but since it was our first time having rice in the croquettes, it was definitely different from the korokke we're used to which are mostly potato-based. If we're ever back in Vancouver, I would definitely love to try their doria dishes and more of their desserts! read more

Heard good things about this Japanese restaurant, so we finally came to check it out. It is located in a small strip mall along W 73rd Ave, with a limited number of parking spots. We ordered the Japanese curry with pork cutlet and the chicken nanban set. The curry & cutlet were pretty tasty, but the chicken nanban set was disappointing, with chicken that was on the soggy side (not at all crispy). Prices were decent, but we'll probably not be returning again. read more

Café de L'Orangerie is a small, charming restaurant known for their Japanese-Italian fusion dishes * Spicy Tuna Sashimi (8) * Masago de Creamy Spaghetti with Hamburger Steak (16.5) * Curry with Hamburger Steak (14) * Cassis Orange Cocktail (4) One of their most popular items is the Masago Spaghetti which features capelin roe, squid, mushroom, asparagus, and shredded seaweed. It is so creamy, rich, and delicious paired with their signature hamburger steak The curry on the other hand was flavourful and filling with the soft bed of rice. The slight sweetness from the hamburger patty made for the perfect contrast! Between the curry and hayashi rice, I actually prefer the latter (sorry it's not pictured!) I've read some takeout reviews mentioning that their pastas and curries were watery, but I didn't encounter any of these issues from my numerous dine-in experiences Overall this is a great place to enjoy some fusion pastas! read more

We came on a weekday and the restaurant was already mostly full when we got there at around 12pm. We got the chicken karage, poutine with hayashi sauce, Masago de creamy pasta, wafu spaghetti and grapefruit cheesecake. Ive been here quite a few times and their quality is always consistent. The flavours and everything have not changed over the years. They have the ultimate Japanese fusion comfort food. It was actually the first time I ordered the chicken karage and unfortunately it was disappointing. It's not your usual chicken karage. The breading is very light and doesn't feel like it was fried at all. Unfortunately I like a heavier chicken karage. Needed to be a bite crispier The poutine with Hayashi sauce is my go to must order everytime. No visit is complete without this. It seems like their portion for the poutine has gotten ever so slightly smaller. The chips are still very crispy and the sauce still meaty and heart but just felt a bit smaller than usual. The Masago de creamy pasta is also another must order. Strangely enough it seems like their portions for the pastas have gotten bigger. Way more noodles than before. The Masago creamy pasta is very savoury and addicting. The Masago gives it that umami flavour. It leaves you wanting more. It's not overly creamy or heavy. The pasta is always cooked to perfection everytime. It was our first time trying the wafu pasta and I gotta say the Masago pasta is still more delicious. The wafu just didn't have that wow factor for me. I thought the bonito would give it that same umaminess I got from the Masago but it didn't. I wouldn't order this again. For dessert we finished off with the grapefruit cheesecake. We like most of their desserts as they are not overly sweet and they have a wide range of desserts. The grapefruit was refreshing. There was a jello later in it which gave it a nice contrast with the cream cheese layers. Not overly sweet. Would get again Overall one of my favourite places to go for a relaxed meal with guaranteed good time. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious and hearty plus they have a huge dessert menu. read more

Well I always drive by this place because it's in our old neighbourhood. Saw some stupid social media post about the pasta and the croquette and yeah f---- you TikTok and that girl who created a mirage. This place absolutely sucks. We ordered hayashi rice and creamy pasta with hamburger steak and a 3 piece order of croquette as well sides of rice (which we got charged for) but didn't receive. It smelled good in the car but when I opened the big brown bag that they ensured everything is extra charge, it was smaller than expected. We got catfished from the menu pictures, now I know how that feels, smh lol The creamy spaghetti was unfortunately mutated into the hayashi so ended up hayashi pasta and no rice. I guess cause they added all the rice we ordered in their croquette? The croquette was more like arancini and not really any potato like other Japanese and Korean places make? The hamburger steak patty was nasty. Color taste texture, but thanks for giving my dog Bella some rock you to play with. For $50+ tip for something I could I've made at home, waste of money. When I called about the rice it was it should've been there but we're busy. That was it. No hey here's a refund or sorry? The attitude of the staff and owner is a little too steep. Get off your high chairs and actually acknowledge that the customer is right most of the time and to actually be sympathetic to others instead of making a mistake and blaming it on the customers! If you want I suggest go to Hi Genki for OG Japanese croquettes and we'll priced authentic food and service with a smile or if your broke or on a budget, go Safeway and buy Liptons sidekicks. You'll thank me later... read more

We finally decided to come here for dine in and E got the chicken nanban set while I got the pork katsu curry. I was a big fan of the pork katsu curry and thought the pork katsu was fried perfectly and there was lots of curry to add flavour to both the rice and and katsu. R thought that the nanban wasn't that great - a bit dry and have had better at other places. We also saw other tables having the pasta and it looked absolutely delicious. Very interested to come back and give their pastas a go! read more

Rice and noodles and a curry I've wanted to try this place out, it's a modern Italian Japanese fushion restaurant which is very family friendly cafe spot. We did try their homemade croquettes 2 pieces for $6. It was a small croquette for $3 it was tempting to get because they say it's homemade, it was quite soft and putting the croquette sauce made it better. I got a pasta with carbonara sauce it had a little bit of meat and some mushrooms. I liked how soft the noodles were and the sauce it was nice and hot plate of pasta and very Asian style indeed. Then we got curry rice with pork cutlet. The meat is super tender and the curry makes up for it nice to eat with the rice and meat. Overall, it had a homey feel to the meal and very nice atmosphere where staff is friendly and people come here with their kids because I'd think kids would enjoy the homemade feel of the these dishes. read more

Very cool little Japanese style bistro located in Marpole. It was buzzing with locals and service was good. Ordered the sweet potato cheesecake because who doesn't love cheesecake?! Very moist and had a light texture and the crust was very chewy--delicious. The cafe is small, leave much to be desired with the aesthetic. You won't find ambiance here but the food seems to be what people came for, not the atmosphere. Was in the area but other than that probably wouldn't return based on locale. But the sweet potato cheesecake is lovely! read more

This restaurant does a good job at fusing Japanese and Italian cuisine. The beef stew with katsu was delicious! The stew was savory, had great depth of flavor, and paired well with the rice and katsu! It was gone within a matter of minutes. The napolitan spaghetti is good to order if you like your pasta sauces on the sweeter side. The portions here are also pretty large. The servers were all very friendly as well. read more

All the food came hot off the stove! Masago de Creamy Spaghetti noodles were al dente with a creamy red sauce that had strong umami flavors. The seafood in it was tasty, but a bit over cooked. The meatball on top was cooked well, again strong umami flavors. Croquettes reminded me of arancinis. Great crunch on the outside, Al dente rice in the middle. Lacked flavor. It needed a dipping sauce. Service - was good. They were quick to seat me and checked up on me will I was waiting for food. Ambiance - very casual, family owned small business vibe. read more

Overall, everything was quite mediocre, I'm not sure what the hype is about as I've seen amazing reviews on Google, Yelp, and Instagram. It's a small cozy Japanese x French fusion restaurant, in a small plaza. My order: Masago de Creamy Spaghetti w/ Hambuger Steak $16.50: this was hands down the most popular order based on the reviews I've seen, but it fell short of my expectations in terms of flavour. It's creamy without being too thick or heavy, and the noodle texture was al dente though. There are small bits of seafood and mushrooms mixed in. The dish itself just tasted a little flat in my opinion, and just didn't have any specific flavours associated with it other than being lightly creamy. The hamburger steak I added to the spaghetti was underwhelming. It's a pretty thick patty, but flavour-wise there's also nothing special. The 3 mini prawns were also not worth it ($6.40 for 3 very small prawns), and kind of oily. read more

Love eating at this place when I'm feeling for Asian fusion food. They're a Japanese fusion restaurant that sells Japanese-inspired spaghetti, curry, and other dishes. We got the pork cutlet curry and the masago spaghetti, and both tasted amazing! The curry was flavourful and the pork cutlet was well cooked. The skin was crunchy but not dry on the inside. The sauce went well with the spaghetti. They had a lot of squid pieces that were cooked al dante. The portions here are pretty big so we were able to pack about 1/3 of it to go. The prices are reasonable as well - mostly less than $15 for a large entree dish. I'd definitely recommend coming here if you're in the Marpole area! read more

Came here for dessert after a sumptuous japanese dinner. Been here previously for lunch and enjoyed their pasta and cutlet entrees. Was very impressed so we had high expectations for dessert as it is a japanese inspired restaurant. Unfortunately, this time, the goods were not delivered! Ordered the choco cheese tart and the blueberry cheese tart. Both did pies did have the proper cheese tart taste. Yu could not taste the cream cheese anywhere. Both tasted like a mousse tart. Nowhere is the japanese Influence tasted and showing. Also, both tasted like its been in the cooler some time now. The choco tasted like its been made from milo powder and the bluberry from the canned variety and diluted badly. Service was great however. They answered our questions and never rushed us. I saw their pear pie ala mode..shouldve went for that as i saw fresh pears in the fridge. Good sign, at least you are sure that they use real fresh pears. Cheers! happy eating! read more

COVID-19 TAKEOUT REVIEW: During this period, we're extra cautious of where to get take out and how careful the food is handled. When I came to pickup my food, I was happy to see all the staff and cooks wearing a mask, a CC machine that accepts tap (less touching the better), and food was ready so it was a quick pickup. They also offer 20% for take out right now. Their phone line was busy when I called to order so I wasn't sure they were still opened but I tried again 5min later and it went through. So don't worry if your call gives you a "not able to connect" message. We had the Masago Spaghetti because it's seriously their best pasta. Added a Hamburg patty for extra meat. Flavors were on point. Also had a side of crispy Chicken Karrage that came with a mayo dip. Everything went well together. Delicious meal. They also have great desserts. Our favorites are the Grapefruit Cheesecake, the Matcha Cheese Tart or the Chocolate Cheese Tart. These are also available for take out. read more

Creamy tomato spaghetti w/ hamburger steak $16.50: It wasn't super creamy but the tomato sauce was spot on w/o being too tangy! Aside from the cheese & mushrooms, some chicken bites were included too which were very tender! Wafu spaghetti $12.50 This one is so unique so I had to try! It sure is a Japanese style pasta since it's loaded w/ bonito flakes, bacon, and seaweed adding more of a smokey & savoury taste. The soy sauce was also pretty subtle, if you get this one I suggest mixing it really well! The hamburger steak can be added to any pasta for +$4, an extra source of protein for the gains! It's fairly huge & it's not dry, although it could use some more seasoning. Overall it still paired nicely w/ both of the fresh, al-dente cooked pastas but I would get an egg as an add on next time! I love how the food gave me some good homemade vibes, I recommend sharing if you go cause the portions are big & you can try more flavors!! I went on a Friday night at 7pm, and waited around 10 minutes. Even though it was pretty busy, the service was still up to standard w/ regular check ins and water refills! It's fairly small so seating is tight, but the employees still managed to keep it clean. read more

An italian japanese fusion spot with pasta and fusion desserts to choose from. The location of this cafe is tucked away in the Marpole area so you wouldn't know its there if you didn't go looking. Luckily there is ample parking so that's not an issue. I love their hayashi special because their stew is so flavourful on a chilly Vancouver night. It also comes with a decent portion size and lots of meat which I enjoy. For a more adventurous choice, we tried their masago spsagetti which was surprisingly tasty without being too rich in flavour. Highly recommend you check it out! read more

Really wanted to check out this place since I've heard such good things about it but I was a bit disappointed.

Small place that's pretty easy to miss. Limited seating but didn't have to wait when we came. Not the most comfortable seating but decent. We ordered the pasta carbonara with burger patty on top and the poutine. We did have one person in our party with allergies to nuts. We asked if they were able to tell us what dishes may have nuts in them. They were very aggressive and not willing to answer us. Rather, kept stating "we take no responsibility if you have a reaction". They were not very accommodating for a pretty common allergy. Food was decent. read more
