May 2024 Beef
Lindsey D.

Update: Food seems inconsistent. I had a Beef Bowl, (brown rice, tofu shreds, black fungus, and celery, and additional egg). Positive: the beef was so soft and flavourful (I wasn't sure if it's actually boiled or steam pan fried) super well executed. Black fungus was high quality and tender. Not so glorious, Rice was broken (as if it was low quality, or been in the cooker too long that it got broken). Seasoning of egg was mild (no soy taste), shredded tofu was too different to the glorious other time, celery has fridge taste. In terms of sauce, I've always ordered Dragon Sauce, its quantity varies each time I order. No way of gauging how they are making it each time.

Tofu Bowl

Love this place so far. So far I've had two tofu bowls with different toppings and sauces. I like that it's easy to build a bowl with lots of vegetables. The sauces and toppings give you interesting flavours, and the tofu in the sauce is so tasty. I had steamed noodles as my base this last time, and they take a while to make but they were nice and chewy when cooked fresh. The portion size is filling, so it's good value for the price with this quality. The staff is very nice, they're very patient with any questions about the menu. The space is small and only has a few seats at the counter, so it's more popular for takeout. I was comfortable eating in both times, though. Everything looks pretty clean.

Regular size bowl + beef with black pepper sauce + cabbage, bean curd strips, and shredded potatoes

One of my weekday go-to spots for a quick and healthy lunch. There are only a few seats so it's more like a takeout restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful when you need help deciding what to get. I love that you can build your own bowl, and choose 3 sides to go with your protein, and not to mention they all taste great! I also get brown rice instead of white rice to feel extra healthy :)

Dragon Bowl specializes in affordable Chinese comfort food for less than $15! It's like a Chinese Chipotle but better! To customize your bowl, pick your protein, sauce, and 3 toppings. I tried their beef bowl (12.68) on rice with mild spicy dragon sauce and made it a combo (+$3.88) for a braised egg and daily soup! The spicy sauce has a mala base. For my 3 side dishes, I chose shredded potatoes, black pepper corn, and celery carrot. I love that their sides are seasonal and their soups rotate weekly! This meal truly warmed my soul, I highly recommend checking it out!

Been meaning to try this place everytime I'm in Vancouver. Finally gotta try this on TGTG and have been meaning to try it but the pickup was always too late for my early morning departure. I arrived a bit early as their pickup window was 22:05-22:15. Understandable as the place closes at 22:00, perfect fit me to clear out their leftovers. It was a chilly night and they met were nice enough to let me pickup a little earlier than the pickup time (arrived at 21:40) it was $7.99 for a large bowl of I think it was pork with sprouts and celery with rice on the bottom. It also came with a cup of hot soup which was perfect for the chilly weather. Got back to the hotel to devour my delicious bowl of pork with rice. Wish I asked for hot sauce as that would have made the dish more tasty! The piping hot soup was so good. It was a clear broth with seaweed and egg drop. Overall a great deal! Can't wait to come back to try all the rest of the menu!!

Vegan bowl with brown rice, bok choy, cabbage, potatoes, and lotus root

Decent to-go spot for healthy-ish bowls, with a vegan option ($14.38 plus tax) that pulled me in to try it. Step 1: pick your protein -- the vegan one is a nice firm tofu; step 2: pick your sauce -- I got their signature spicy dragon sauce: a slightly sweet, salty, and spicy (duh) sauce; step 3: pick your base (white rice is no extra charge; brown rice is $0.50 more; noodles are $1 more; and then you get to pick 4 different veggies: I got bok choy, spicy cabbage, spicy shredded potatoes, and spicy lotus root. The bowl was ready in under 5 minutes, and staff were very pleasant. Good portion of food for the $, and very satisfying. Solid spot.

Under $20 lunch idea in downtown Vancouver, they are also super quick and easy for take out! Dragon bowl is located in central downtown Vancouver, and it's a small joint but they are packed withloads of takeout order and delivery orders. * Chicken Bowl ($12.38) ~ we got this bowl with the Dragon Sauce, it was good and sweet with a nice salty contrast. The garlic was prominent in the flavoring and the soy really tied in the flavors. We paired this with Corn, Beansprouts, and shredded potatoes. The side dishes paired really well with the sauce it came with. I do wish there was a bit more sauce with it though. The chicken was cooked nicely. 7/10. * Beef bowl ($12.68) ~ Super flavorful! Got this with the black pepper sauce and it has a nice baby kick of hear to it! The garlic in this was bomb and paired super well with the oyster sauce and black pepper. For the side pairing we did black fungus, corn, and lotus roots. The lotus roots were delicious and good with the black fungus and corn. 8/10. * Combo add on ($3.88) ~ this comes with braised egg which was super flavorful and well marinated (8/10), and comes with a choice of drink, or daily soup. The soup we had was well seasoned and good to drink with the saucy bowl (7/10). * Overall it's a quick and easy lunch. I also love how customizable it is!

Food is fresh lots of flavour. Small for eat in but that's ok, take it to go and find a nice spot outside. Service is excellent. Staff are friendly and made me feel welcomed and explained all the options. Definitely recommend abc it was fast

BETTER than the plastic DIN TAi FUNG ( DTF) - the Evil…read moreEmpire of WHITE NEGROES ... up the Street It's dumplings and rest of the menu is not as pretentious and grandiose than DTF on Melville only 7 minutes walk away .. will worth the walk from fakeness .. Service is sincere n authentic Asian hospitality than t plastic mosaic DTF with their White Negro pale face look like the weakling wimp 1919 League of Nations ambience wannabe ( it imploded ) We had the shrimp scallop Dumplings , tofu minced beef potage ( generous portion size) and Egg yolk cream buns ... so yummy .. most satisfying is patronizing a local company than foreign owned DTF ... of the Evil empire

Amazing dumpling spot and very affordable. We brought our family of 5 on a random BC trip night…read more Our kids love Xiao Long Bao (XLB). We ate what would normally be a $100-$125 US meal for under $80 US. It was awesome. We got so much food - it was ridiculous. We ate quite a bit and saved the rest for leftovers. The servers were super nice and sweet. Very family friendly. We found our new go-to spot in Vancouver, B.C. Also, if you give it a little time the parking isn't too bad. Dinasty also stays open a little later than most restaurants in town, making this a viable option when in a pinch for food but running late in the day. Will absolutely go back next time in town. Thanks for having us. Comparable to Dough Zone or Din Tai Fung, somewhere right in between with quality and cost. Everything was yummy.

I went back, and can't say enough how amazing this place is! It's very quant and intimate. We came…read morefor dinner and thankfully made resos. The idea is to share plates, and they recommended 2-3 plates per person. We did just that for the 4 of us. I'm vegetarian but had a ton of options to choose from. We started with their Shnacks, including sichuan smashed cucumbers, mala soy vinaigrette, salted napa cabbage, sesame dressing, and crispy tofu, garlic sweet soy, water chestnut. These are all tasty and had different elements of flavor. These cucs are classic and had a kick. The Napa cabbage were perfectly sliced and I would drink the dressing. The tofu is legit! Perfectly crispy and soft inside. But that sauce is the shit! Adding more to the tofu as it cools on your plate is a must! We then partook in their Petits Cadeaux, which was the vegetarian potstickers and steamed pork dumplings. These veg were slightly fired and huge. They had so much flavor and paired with the chilli oil, I was so pleased! We then got some vegetables which paired nicely with everything. You must get the king pea tips, garlic, shaoxing and glazed crispy eggplant, gochugaru leek & carrot, sesame salt. The pea tips melt in your mouth. They are so delicate and warm. The eggplant is the most unique way I've had eggplant! Such a good side. Service is incredible. Our server was so helpful and on top of everything! The girls had a few drinks which were all unique and fancy AF! Loved this place this time!

All I can say is that everything at this restaurant was on point…read more Unfortunately, there was horrible traffic (due to the Marathon closures), and we were 1/2 hour late! But the wonderful hostess accommodated us, and I am so glad that she did! I cannot remember everything that we ate, but I know we got pork belly, dumplings, and duck rice cakes. OMG - everything was perfectly and authentically prepared! The wait staff was wonderful and so helpful with ordering and suggestions for eating. What a wonderful experience! We cannot wait to go back to Vancouver and eat at Bao Bei AGAIN!!
