As far as Canadian Chinese food goes, this place is good. By far the best sweet and sour (pineapple sauce) chicken balls I've had in BC.

First choice Chinese? Should be last choice. This place gave both my brother and I food poisoning. Do not order from here!

longtail kitchen at the new west quay was the unanimous choice for our group. we visited on a…read morefriday afternoon, ordered and paid at the cashier, and our food arrived at the table all at once. the space is casual and compact, with a wall displaying thai pantry items, sauces, cookbooks, and packaged noodles that give it a small market like feel. the warm wood feature wall and colourful seating add some character, while the handwritten menu board above the counter keeps things simple and approachable. the portions looked small at first but ended up being just enough. i ordered the pad see ew beef. while it wasn't as saucy as i had hoped, it was still very tasty. the noodles were missing the wok hei i was looking for, but the dish was well seasoned and satisfying. the accompanying chilli offered a pleasant kick without overwhelming the flavours. everyone in our group enjoyed their dishes, which included pad thai chicken, green papaya salad, and basil beef with rice and fried egg. the first few bites were delicious, though both beef dishes became noticeably salty as we worked our way through them. longtail kitchen is part of chef angus an's restaurant group, which includes maenam, sainam, sen pad thai, and fat mao noodles. the group has received recognition from vancouver magazine, with maenam serving as its award winning flagship restaurant. overall, longtail kitchen delivers tasty thai comfort food in a casual setting. while some dishes could benefit from a lighter hand with the seasoning and a bit more wok hei, it remains a solid option for a relaxed meal with friends.

The food is always good here! It gets quite busy especially at lunch time so ordering ahead online…read morehelps, otherwise it could be 45 minutes during peak times. Nice spot in the quay and lots of seating.

On my way back to the hotel, I thought Greek sounded good. Good Greek food did sound good. This…read moreplace was somewhere between that and just plain food. I entered around 5PM on a Tuesday to an empty, slightly musty smelling restaurant. I chalked the smell up to the place appearing to be an old building. I was the only, yes the only person in the place. I waited a few minutes for the lady who told me to go ahead in to finally drag in off the smoke break to get a menu. I identified as a first timer, to which the heavily perfumed, probably, part/owner, waitress replied, "I know, if you weren't, I'd know you". I thought this was odd, but figured it was a strong locals haunt. Not tonight. The only other folks that graced the place while I was there were a loud, rough looking couple that looked more like they fit below a highway overpass than in a restaurant. The woman was looking for work, anything, janitorial, anything. I asked for the lady's recommendation. The Roast Lamb it was. A bowl of soup was good. The roast lamb was tender and tasty enough, but it wasn't very spicy. The rice was pretty good, the salad was weak. I had a couple glasses of house wine. All together, $42. I would not return and would not recommend this place. I should have read the lone Yelp review (not that I would have heeded the warning).

This place is a little hard to find if you've never been here before. The decor is a little funny…read morewith their strange choice for their table top covers. The food is just edible. It's not that great and I've only seen 2-4 people eat in there at a time. I'm not sure how they're surviving but they are. I find their portions are too small for what you pay. I blame this on Stephos haha. Sometimes I find UFOs in my cup of water so I don't even drink anything when I go in there. Everything that goes down is hot food or from a pop can. I don't plan to eat here ever again. If I do then it would be because we have a company function here. The lady who serves us is an interesting character. I love her because she's very friendly and LOUD and she'd be the other reason why I'd return because she's entertaining to watch and listen to. If they worked on their food I'm sure they would be more busy. They're lucky they're surrounded by businesses because I think that's what is keeping them going. People will stop by here for some quick lunch or dinner.
