Was craving brunch in the area so had to stop by here on a Saturday afternoon. The wait was about…read more20 min (sadly we were just a couple min behind 3 other parties). The eggs Benedict was delicious but I was surprised at the size, as eggs benny that I've gotten at other places are often quite bigger. The kale smoothie was actually so delicious and smooth I was pleasantly surprised. Our favorite item though had to be the crispy French toast. It was so light and soft yet at the same time extremely crunchy. Overall a great brunch spot prices are reasonable but there are other spots where the portions are bigger and prices lower.

Love yolk's! The truffle lemon potatoes are the best sides. We ordered the smokehouse ham Benny and…read morefried chicken and waffles. The space at the Broadway location is small but the wait is not long if you go close to closing time. The service is always very quick and we spent less than one hour including waiting, ordering and eating. The portions are decent and good value for your buck. 10/10 brunch spot.

'It's the newest street dog in town!.. the hottest perhaps? NOT! Japadog could heave a sigh of…read morerelief for now. First things first, this doesn't have the oomph and character coolness of Japadog that locals and visitors have grown to love. No long line ups here, no uniformed Japanese speaking staff, no photos of hotdogs with different toppings, and yes, no photo of Ice Cube too. There was only a friendly smile from the owner and one unique item offering which was the tandoori dog, choice of either kosher beef or kosher chicken. For $5.50, it was just plain and ordinary with only a hint of tandoori flavour basted on the hotdog. Despite the onions being nicely cooked in butter, bread rightly toasted, it was just boilerplate okay. It lacked creativity, texture and presentation, the wow factor. I was expecting toppings as chutney, yogurt, maybe paneer, or some curry infused side condiments, but there was only mustard, ketchup, and bbq sauce, typical for the dirty water dog varieties, not a stand named as Tandoori Tikka Dog. Sigh. Didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news here, but I'm giving it 2.5 stars and hoping they could improve as there's still lots of room left for more ethnic fusion street foods here in Vancouver. Meanwhile, I don't think it deserves a visit from Anthony Bourdain as of yet.

We'd tried Japadog and were unimpressed, much to the husband's chagrin. And so when we happened…read moreupon Tandoori Tikka Dog, there was renewed hope! The uncle who runs the cart was the absolute sweetest. He spent an extra long time fixing up my husband's tandoori tikka veggie dog, especially because tofudogs are especially tasteless. The result was a flavorful and creative hot dog, which we all loved! Highly recommend!

We had Johnny's Pops at my company's Summer Employee event. Have had Johnny's Pops previously in…read morethe River District from other neighbourhood events so was excited to have more Popsicles now that summer has arrived. My boyfriend has never had a Johnny's Pops and was excited to try one. I ordered the creamy Strawberry Lemonade and he ordered the Triple Berry mint. The strawberry lemonade was creamy and delicious and my boyfriend found the Triple Berry mint as refreshing. He loved them so much that he got a second popsicle and tried the Vietnamese coffee - another hit. Best gourmet Popsicles around and highly recommend!

Oh- did I mention that they have a bar (Caeser while shopping anyone?), food trucks, and other food vendors?!

Dee-licious! I am always on the look out for new street carts, and the hot dog hats worn by…read moreemployees called to me. I had a halibut dog, a sausage made with fresh, wild fish. I was really impressed with the price (7 dollars including a pop) and the choice of toppings and bun - potato or whole wheat. I went with the potato bun, and added pickles, fried onions and Franks to the tartar sauce, coleslaw and lemon wedge that the halibut comes standard with. In addition to the halibut, they serve up salmon, lamb, turkey and buffalo, as well as a variety of premium toppings. The service, quality and flavour were really impressive - I will be back for a veggie dogs smothered in jalapeno and cheese the next time a 'dog craving hits!

My taste buds were smacking a few days ago so i decided i wanted a dog. It was a toss up between…read morethe hot dog vendor down the road that looked all fancy pantsy or a flash of my life to the guilt of i should of chose organic. So I took they dive and got the bison jalapeno dog. I liked the fact it was gluten free as I'm suppose to limit my wheat intake. I only wish that they had more options for the specialty side instead of having just pork brawst as most die hard health nuts aren't really the fan of the pig. Even though the prices are way higher for these dogs than the guy down the block I still don't feel as guilty eating these dogs. Oh and I loved how I was given a few free chips on the side. Defiately will be back to try some of the other items.

I tried japadog for the first time in BC in 2020, and I kid you not, I have been thinking about it…read moreever since. When I went this time I ordered the terimayo , and it was just as I remembered, if not better. Maybe it was because I haven't stoped thinking about it, but it hit just the spot. Despite it being very busy, the workers accommodated to every customers. I ordered: Kurobuta Oroshi- juicy hotdog, the radish made it refreshing All Beef Terimayo- delicious, juicy hotdog, crispy skin, good amount of toppings. Fries - crispy Yuzu Matcha Lemonade - light matcha flavour and a little too sour Overall, I'm so glad this mall had a japadog, it was a great place to grab a snack and re energize. The only thing I will say is that most tables are not kept clean (at least when I went) but I do understand that it is hard to maintain with how many customers are coming in and out. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed.

Borderline five stars! The hotdog was juicy, although it could have been cooked longer imo, and the…read morecondiments were delicious. It was quite messy though so I would recommend getting extra napkins. We also wanted to split the hotdog but no utensils were available. Luckily, the hotdog was easy enough to peel apart.

I had a chance to try Holy Perogy's ... well, perogies and it was delicious…read more The type I tried was called "Italian" which was stuffed with potato, mozarella, topped with sour cream, tomato garlic salsa and parmesan. My advice would be to add a sausage to your plate. The combination of the perogy, a bite of sausage and a scoop of the tomato, garlic salsa works very well! Everything is made with local ingredients so that's a bonus too.

I really was looking forward to trying Holy Perogy and was so disappointed when I finally did. As a…read moreKelowna native, the perogy place Cecil's is a hit with pretty much everyone, so I've been on the hunt for a Vancouver version of this. Unfortunately, Holy Perogy didn't measure up. At Holy Perogy, I ordered the Italian perogies which had a good flavour and a delicious sauce on top, but the perogies themselves were soggy and bland. I could actually barely get through the dish, and didn't even finish it. I asked for extra sausage, and that was really good. So yeah, it has potential - the trimmings are done well, it's just that the actual perogies need work.

I just finished a roast beef focaccia sandwich from Focacciaza - I had never heard of them but I…read morewas in the area, starving (after a dentist / teeth cleaning and long overdue for food!). Focacciaza caught my eye as there was a small line up and parasol set up outside their industrial kitchen space in Strathcona. That, and did I mention I was starving? The offerings are simple: loaded focaccia (garden / cheese / toppings), a soup, grilled cheese, and daily meat or veg sandwich. I left the specifics to Focacciaza and asked for the meat sandwich; I was told it was roast beef today - perfect, I'm not super picky but it sounded wholesome. Bread was moist and light, but hearty enough for the fillings: roast beef, pickled onions, spinach, smear of mayo. Seasoning was perfect - I demolished that sandwich without actually picking it apart so I apologize if I missed anything / added anything lol Delicious enough that I will stop by again if I were in the area, perhaps on a cooler day for soup and a grilled cheese, or the loaded focaccia! A little pricey considering no seating / takeout only and limited options, hence four stars.
