    Eggs over easy were way overcooked
    Karen S.

    Went for brunch and the food was not very good. Let's start with the positive: it's a comfortable, understated space with high ceilings, and plenty of spacious booths. Although I saw a variety of interesting options on the brunch menu, I opted for the Classic Breakfast while my husband went for the Chorizo Power Bowl. The Classic came to the table with a large mound of deep fried potatoes (rather than "crispy hash browns" as advertised on the menu) that dwarfed everything else on the plate. The eggs--ordered over easy--were browned and leathery, cooked to medium well. A tiny scattering of cherry tomatoes were dressed with a bad pesto vinaigrette. My husband fared better than me but found the flavours bland and lifeless. Ending on a positive note: The saving grace of the experience was Sophie, the manager - she came to the table when she heard I wasn't happy with the food. Her gracious handling of the situation raised a 1* experience to a 3* experience.

    Beautiful space , very light and welcoming vibe. Came in at lunch and were seated straight away , all the staff were extremely friendly. Large menu of food + drinks , plus a happy hour. We tried the nachos + chicken enchiladas. Surprisingly good enchiladas, they were flavourful and soft with just the right amount of sauce. Some of the seats have a view of the kitchen and can see the food being prepared.

    We came here twice! Once for their morning happy hour and then again the next day for their 9pm happy hour. Mind you, it is the same menu, but I wanted to see the vibes for both. We got seated instantly so that is always good, and they let us know they just opened last month. Their food is solid, but I do recommend the truffle fries and the artichoke dip as those were my favorite of everything we've tried. Staff is really nice and attentive, even when it got busier. This place is a louder space at night with a DJ too. Overall, a spot to try when in the area.

    Went last night got a late night Happy Hour (9pm) and had a really great time! The food menu for HH was so affordable! pierogies were $5, truffle fries and artichoke dip were $11 each and the pepperoni pizza was $15! For drinks, cocktails ranged from $7-11 for HH pricing and highballs and beers were $5. They had a few drink specials going on as well. Service was a mix, some servers were absolutely a delight and cheerful and some were a bit more out of their element. There was a live DJ at the restaurant and he made the ambiance really fun and energetic and played r&b and rap music. It was pretty busy on a Saturday night and we came with a party of 30 that grew to at least 45 to celebrate a birthday. Overall it was one of the more affordable HH's ive ever been to and food was affordable and filling. Our personal favourite was the artichoke dip.

    Tried their happy hour. The cheeseburger sliders we excellent and we enjoyed the truffle fries. Sushi was ok and we also ordered the Calamari which I would NOT recommend. Heavy batter and after a few bits you felt gross. Very greasy and some of the Calamari was either under or over cooked. Service was good but I don't like paying without being presented a bill.

    Great happy hour and friendly staff. But they can't show the Canucks...or any any sports coverage despite having 20 tvs. Seems suspicious

    Went on a Saturday night around 8:10pm and got told they would call us by 9pm if a spot opened up…read more They were very clear about the fact that last call is shortly after 9 so we might not be able to get a table in time. I appreciated this and would much prefer this over expecting to have a table than being disappointed. We got lucky though and were able to get seated right around 9. Service was very prompt and we were able to order, eat, and get out of the restaurant pretty quickly. Overall great experience even though I didn't absolutely love everything we ordered House roll: 3/5 this was ok. It sounded good initially but I think there was just too much going on Spicy chopped scallop roll: 4/5 presentation wasn't the best but it still tasted good Red dynamite roll: 5/5 their most popular roll for good reason. I would def recommend this one Salmon and tuna nigiri: 5/5 I liked both a lot and this perfectly scratched the itch for my sushi craving

    My friend wanted to try this place, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 5:45pm, and…read morewere told there would be about a 90 min wait and they would contact us when our table is ready. It ended up being closer to 60 min. The place is not big. I counted maybe 36 seats. The interior is nice but generic enough to be just about any type of restaurant. The menu accessed via QR code. I ended up trying the following: - Assorted Tempura: Good. Light batter, but slightly overbrowned. - Miso Black Cod: Good. More elaborate presentation than most, but very small piece. - Salmon Belly Sashimi: Very good. Fresh and delicious. - Tom Special Roll Tray: Very good. A great way to sample all the different roll, all which are very good. I thought it was reasonably priced and could adequately feed 4 people. Service was very good. There are a LOT of staff, so we were constantly being checked on to make sure we were happy and got anything we needed. Overall a good meal. It doesn't classify as the best sushi in Vancouver, but I can see the quality-value ratio might be the best in the city. All the food was quite good and certainly not overpriced. I imagine the high staff count was due to the overwhelming amount of takeout orders. I would return.

    I had no idea that katsu could taste this GOOD. I mean, all katsu I've had prior to eating at Saku…read morejust pales in comparison. Who knew??? My hubs and I vacationed in Vancouver a few weeks ago in late April. We had seen the long lines for dinner at Saku when we were here more than a year ago. So, we decided to give them a try for a late lunch around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon. No wait. We got seated right away. We liked how spacious and airy the dining room was. Our wait staff were friendly and on point. They were considerate about answering our questions about the food and food allergies. I ordered the chicken thigh katsu ($26 Can) and my hubs got the chicken thigh curry ($28.50 Can). No dairy involved in either dish which I was happy about because I have challenges digesting milk protein. Yes, it's kinda pricey. Yes, it's totally worth it. The katsu is light, crispy, fried perfectly, not greasy, and comes with unlimited rice, miso soup, finely chopped cabbage salad, and an addictively delicious sesame dressing. My hubs' curry sauce was served on the side so he could pour out as much or as little as he wanted. All in all, it was a very pleasant and satisfying meal. Saku is top notch for katsu. You won't believe how good katsu can be until you try it.

    I made a reservation at Okeya Kyujiro for my partner's 40th birthday, and he had the best time…read more Honestly, it was one of the most memorable omakase experiences I've had in Vancouver. Okeya Kyujiro is a Michelin one-star theatrical omakase restaurant, and when they say theatrical, they mean it! From the moment you're welcomed by smiling ushers in kimono to the closing tea ceremony, every movement feels intentional, precise, and elevated. The ambiance is serene and anticipatory. At the start, guests sit in silence as a black screen conceals the chefs. You see their shadows moving behind it. A bell rings, the screen lifts, and the performance begins. Dinner is a 25+ course experience priced at $325 per person. It's undeniably a splurge, but for a milestone celebration, it feels justified. The menu is seafood-forward, with many ingredients flown in from Japan. Each ingredient is presented before preparation, then carefully assembled and served directly from chef to guest. Courses arrive one by one, never rushed. The service team moves seamlessly in the background, refilling water and attending to drinks (available as an add-on) without disrupting the flow. The finale is a matcha ceremony, whisked in front of you with the same quiet precision that defines the evening. When the final sip is taken, the bell chimes once more, the chefs and staff bow, and the screens close. It was a beautifully choreographed dining experience, perfect for marking a special moment, and one I'd gladly return to for the next celebration.

    Service was really amazing with servers explaining each dish and drinks were always topped off…read more Food was good, but maybe this isn't quite my style of omakase compared to the other ones I've tried. This is a more theatrical style so expect louder music and a more theatrical experience (eg one of the servers played the flute for the guests celebrating birthdays). I prefer a more intimidate and interactive style of omakase where you can talk with the chefs. This lunch also felt a little fast in terms of progression of the meal. Some of the dishes were very tasty while others didn't wow us. With drinks, we were quite full despite some reviews saying portion is on the smaller size. Our total was around $500 with drinks for 2 people. A really good experience for omakase, especially if you are looking for a unique experience though not my favourite one I've tried.
