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.

It could be challenging to park your car during lunch time. The style of the cafe interior is Japanese simple style with Japanese servers. There are plenty of choices in the menu. 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.

We visited last night for a late light dinner since there were few other places open after 9 pm. We…read moreordered the bbq meat plate with bbq pork and roast pork, the deep fried salty squid with garlic, wonton Sui kau noodle soup and a deep fried dough stick. The bbq meats arrived warm and was very delicious, the pork was meaty and not dry, the crackling crust on the roast pork was seasoned well and crispy. These meats were accompanied by their in house bbq drippings. So good! The fried squid turned out to be an expensive disappointment. It was not spicy as we thought it was supposed to be, the batter was too thick; more batter than squid, the squid didn't taste as fresh either. We didn't finish the dish here because it was a bit oily so we took it home instead. I have always had a soft spot for wonton noodle soup from my childhood. Sui gao are a favorite too. This combo arrived with 3 large shrimp wonton and 2 giant Sui Gao with my noodles and soup. The flavour of these dumplings did not disappoint, my only criticism is that the noodles and the dumplings were overcooked or left too long on the pass before delivery. I missed the slight chewiness of the noodles and the wrappers on the dumplings were so transparent and limp, evidence that they had been in the poaching liquid too long. The Chinese donut was hollow inside and flat as well as late arriving which was annoying. Our waitress was very attentive in refilling our water and tea. The staff delivering our dishes were prompt. There was a bit of an English language communicate problem when our waitress took our order but we laughed it off later. The place was quite busy already when we entered but we managed to get a nice quiet corner table. The restaurant got even busier during our meal. This business is likely what made my wonton and dough stick overcooked and late. I did kind of find it annoying to have the hostess at the door point out their cash only sign before getting menus to seat us. There is an ATM located near the exit door too to emphasize the cash only point. I really wanted to jive this place a 4/5 but the disappointments were hard to ignore. The total bill for our light dinner cane to $86.00! We won't be doing this again for another long while.

We were given the menus and an iPad with images of what each food looks like. We ordered an order of green beans with pork bean curds, an order of the Chinese donut with almond milk and an order of Hong Kong style congee with minced beef. The congee was very smooth and fine. The Chinese donut with the almost milk was so good! I can eat that everyday. (Maybe not) And the green beans were nicely seasoned, a tad bit too salty for me but it paired nicely with the congee. I've been to this location in the past and surprised that the interiors look different than before. I am glad this place is still doing well after a decade.

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.

Not particularly. I took my leftovers to the airport thinking I would eat it there, but it ended up making it all the way back to LA. Their espresso martini is beyond strong.
